"No Clear Sky Hammer?"
[No Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was detected nearby.]
"How strange. Xiao Wu's the only one in the dorm right now. Where could Tang San have gone?"
"I can't leave empty-handed. I'll kidnap Xiao Wu and force Tang San to come out. That's the plan!"
Li Jiutian made up his mind. Then he kicked the door open and saw Xiao Wu, a girl who could certainly be called a goddess.
She was adorable, dressed in pink, with a black braid falling past her hips and a pretty little face, fair and flushed.
"Who are you!"
Xiao Wu put down the comb in her hand and stood up warily.
"I'm here to find Tang San. Tell me where he went."
Li Jiutian spoke calmly.
"Who are you? What do you want with my brother?"
Xiao Wu asked cautiously.
"I'm asking you one last time. Where is Tang San? Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
After speaking, Li Jiutian walked slowly toward Xiao Wu. With every step, the pressure and sacred aura around him grew stronger!
He didn't have time to waste here with Xiao Wu. It would be troublesome if Grandmaster started to grow suspicious. Li Jiutian had innate twentieth-level full Soul Power. Even if Xiao Wu and Tang San fought him together, they might not be his match.
"So you really are a bad sort. If you want to find my brother, you'll have to get past me first!"
Xiao Wu snorted and kicked at Li Jiutian.
Li Jiutian barely shifted his body, dodging the flying kick.
Xiao Wu's feet landed against the wall beside her. She pushed off hard and leapt over Li Jiutian's head, then kicked fiercely at his head!
"Looking for death!"
Li Jiutian said coldly. A golden shield enveloped his whole body.
Xiao Wu's kick felt as if it had hit an iron plate. The pain was unbearable, and she was sent flying more than a meter by the golden light.
"Damn it, who are you, really!"
Xiao Wu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looking nervous.
"I'm the one who's going to take your third brother's life!"
Li Jiutian replied, then charged toward Xiao Wu!
Xiao Wu's expression turned cold. She moved even faster, darting behind Li Jiutian and whipping a kick at his head!
Just as Xiao Wu thought her attack was sure to land, Li Jiutian shifted his body slightly and dodged it.
Then his left hand was wrapped in golden Soul Power, and he punched Xiao Wu in the stomach!
Xiao Wu spat out a large mouthful of blood and was sent flying four or five meters before passing out.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot—bringing about your own destruction!"
Li Jiutian snorted. Then he spread his Angel Wings, scooped Xiao Wu up by the waist, and flew toward the Sunset Forest.
Before leaving, he left a letter on Xiao Wu's bed.
Two hours later.
After finishing his Purple Demon Eye training at their usual spot, Tang San pushed open the dorm door, breathing somewhat heavily.
"Where did that girl Xiao Wu go? She usually skips class to sleep in the dorm. Why can't I see her anywhere today?"
Tang San wondered. Just then, his gaze fell on the envelope on Xiao Wu's bed.
"What's this?" Tang San opened the envelope. When he saw what was written inside, his face changed, and he hurried toward the Sunset Forest!
The letter read:
"Tang San, if you don't make it to the western outskirts of the Sunset Forest before dark, you'll never see your precious little sister again!"
"If you dare tell anyone else about this, I'll kill her on the spot. Don't believe me? Try it!"
The western outskirts of the Sunset Forest.
Xiao Wu was tied to a tree, while Li Jiutian ate the beef jerky he'd bought near Notting Academy.
After taking a bite of the second piece, he chewed a few times and realized something was off. He spat the jerky onto the ground.
"I never thought they'd have this high-tech garbage on Douluo Continent too, bro. This is pure duck meat with coloring! Damn it, what a shady vendor. He ripped me off for five Silver Soul Coins!"
Li Jiutian complained, then kicked the beef jerky in his hand more than a hundred meters away!
"Brother, please don't come!"
Tears streamed down Xiao Wu's face as she fretted.
"It's almost dark, and Tang San still hasn't come. Looks like he abandoned you!"
Li Jiutian smiled faintly. Golden light wrapped around his left fist as he deliberately punched the tree two centimeters to the side of Xiao Wu's head!
"Boom!" A hole instantly blasted through the trunk.
"Kill me or cut me up, do whatever you want! My brother will avenge me!"
Xiao Wu could no longer bear the terror and shouted furiously.
"Who are you? Why did you kidnap Xiao Wu? Let her go now, or don't blame me for what happens next!"
A voice came from behind Li Jiutian. It was Tang San!
"Brother, run! He's going to kill you!"
Xiao Wu shouted, trying to struggle free of the ropes, but her serious injuries made it a futile effort.
"You finally came!" A sinister smile flickered across Li Jiutian's lips.
[An exceptional Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul have been detected. Would the host like to copy them?]
"Copy the Clear Sky Hammer!"
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully copied the Clear Sky Hammer and evolved it into the God-Slaying Hammer!]
Chapter 6: Kidnapping Xiao Wu, Beating Up Little Tang San! (Part Two)
"I came alone, just as you asked. Now let Xiao Wu go!"
Tang San said nervously, hiding four poisoned needles behind his back in his left hand.
"Fine. I'm not someone who goes back on his word. Since you came, Xiao Wu is of no further use!"
After thinking it over, Li Jiutian lightly waved his left hand. A blade of light appeared in the air, and the ropes around Xiao Wu fell away.
"Brother, if we die, we die together. I'm not leaving!"
Xiao Wu said weakly.
"Go!" Tang San shouted, signaling to her with his eyes.
"Third Brother never does anything unless he's sure of success. Is he planning to hold this boy off so I can go back and get help?"
Xiao Wu understood. Then she ran toward the outskirts without looking back.
"Tang San, I'm confident I can kill you here before Xiao Wu brings back help!"
"You think I can't see through such a petty trick?"
A vicious glint flashed in Li Jiutian's eyes. Golden Soul Power enveloped his left fist, and he charged at Tang San!
"Purple Demon Eye!"
"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"
Tang San's eyes turned purple as he charged toward Li Jiutian!
The two fought fiercely, but the gap in their Soul Power couldn't be made up. Before long, Tang San was knocked five meters away.
"Who are you? What have I ever done to you?"
Tang San's face was pale as he asked unwillingly.
"Hmph! Once you've seen the King of Hell, he'll tell you who I am!"
"First Soul Skill, Vacuum Slash!"
Li Jiutian spread his dazzling Angel Wings and took to the air. Just as he was about to use his Soul Skill, he spotted a familiar figure in the distance.
"Perfect!"
While Li Jiutian was distracted, Tang San quickly hurled the four poisoned needles hidden in his palm at him!
"Is a sneak attack all you know how to do?"
Li Jiutian held his enormous Angel Wings in front of him. Golden light burst forth, and the poisoned needles were instantly deflected.
"Damn it, Tang San, you got lucky today. We'll meet again!"
Golden light flashed in Li Jiutian's eyes, and then he flew away reluctantly.
At that moment, an enormous Clear Sky Hammer appeared in front of Tang San, its head faintly glowing red.
Tang San turned around, looking astonished. "Teacher, Father, why are you here!"
"From the moment that boy entered the academy, I knew something was off about him, so I had someone keep an eye on him!"
"Then we saw him kidnap Xiao Wu and fly away from the academy. After that, I found your father, and we came to rescue you together!"
"Thank goodness you're all right. By the way, where's Xiao Wu?"
Grandmaster said, panting slightly.
"Xiao Wu should have gone back to Notting Academy first!"
Tang San got to his feet, clutching his chest. He was clearly badly injured.
"Those wings, Grandmaster. I assume you know who that boy is?"
Tang Hao gazed at Li Jiutian, who had already flown far away. A trace of anger glimmered in his eyes.
"Those are Angel Wings. He's from Spirit Hall!"
Grandmaster replied.
"Spirit Hall. Sooner or later, I'll settle the score with you!" Tang Hao said coldly.
The next morning.
Spirit City.
Inside the hall of Elder Hall.
"Damn it, I was just one step away! If that bastard Tang Hao hadn't shown up, I would've killed Tang San last night!"
Li Jiutian cursed under his breath. The more he thought about what had happened last night, the angrier he got.
"Xiao Tian, what are you thinking about? You've been lost in thought. Why don't you tell your master?"
Qian Daoliu asked, puzzled.
"Nothing. By the way, Master, I still haven't gotten my Second Soul Ring. Are you free today?"
Li Jiutian quickly changed the subject, grinning.
"You impatient little fellow. All right, I'll go with you."
Qian Daoliu said fondly, then took Li Jiutian toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
The center of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Qian Daoliu and Li Jiutian chatted and laughed as they walked, as if they were strolling through their own backyard.
