Douluo: Shocked, the Most Beautiful Bride Qian Renxue!

"Bang!"

The God-Slaying Hammer instantly pierced through its middle head, then performed a 180-degree turn in the air, charging at it once more!

Accompanied by a shrill shriek, its final head was also shattered. It soon ceased breathing and sank into the bottomless depths of the Yellow Springs Dew.

Li Jiutian let out a cold snort and sprinted toward the exit of the narrow bridge.

After running off the bridge, he glanced back at the bottomless Yellow Springs Dew and suddenly came to a halt.

"From this day forth, there shall never be a fifth Slaughter God on this continent!"

"Tang San, you never expected me to beat you to it, did you?"

"Let this sinful Slaughter City be destroyed once and for all!"

A wicked smile flashed across Li Jiutian's lips. He reached into his pouch, pulled out the immortal herb, Snowy Swan Kiss, and tossed it directly into the pool of blood formed by the Yellow Springs Dew.

"Ah! Xiaotian, there's a monster on my side too!"

Just as Li Jiutian was gazing at the Yellow Springs Dew, Hu Liena's cry rang out from behind him.

"Oh no!"

"Nana is in danger!"

Hearing her voice, Li Jiutian bolted toward the depths ahead!

The path ahead was blocked by a pile of massive boulders. More than twenty meters up on the opposite side, there was a gap, and a sliver of sunlight shone through it into Hell Road.

It was clear that exiting through that gap would lead to the outside world.

At this moment, before Li Jiutian's eyes, a giant snake with a reddish body, faintly spitting flames from its maw, was locked in combat with Hu Liena.

Hu Liena was already drenched in sweat, struggling to fend off the giant snake's attacks.

"Xiaotian, you're finally here!"

"This giant snake is so troublesome; I'm no match for it alone!"

Seeing Li Jiutian's figure, Hu Liena let out a sigh of relief.

"It really is the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake!"

"I must kill this beast as quickly as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with once the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King revives!"

"Every time the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King revives, its strength grows even greater."

Li Jiutian thought to himself, then charged toward the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake, shouting, "Nana, I'm here to help you!"

The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake roared, and seizing the moment, it whipped its tail and sent Hu Liena flying a hundred meters away.

Hu Liena blocked with her two short blades, so she didn't suffer any serious injuries.

The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake then looked at the human charging toward it, opened its blood-red maw, and actually swallowed him whole!

This beast fell for it after all!

A wicked smile flashed across Li Jiutian's lips.

The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake soon realized something was wrong, because no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't close its upper jaw.

It felt as if a hard nail was stuck in its throat!

Li Jiutian unleashed his killing intent, and the God-Slaying Hammer suddenly expanded to four meters in height, wedging itself firmly inside the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake's mouth.

"Go to hell!"

Li Jiutian pulled the Realgar Wine he had prepared from his pouch.

He then took a mouthful of the wine and sprayed it violently into the belly of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake.

A piercing shriek echoed through Hell Road as the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake writhed in agony on the ground.

At that moment, Li Jiutian smashed its upper fangs with a single blow of his hammer and escaped!

"Nana, you deliver the finishing blow!"

Li Jiutian retracted the God-Slaying Hammer, leaped back to her side, and said.

"Understood!"

Hu Liena released her massive fox tails and, within a few breaths, leaped onto the head of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake!

She lashed out with her fox tails, striking its skull with immense force!

"Bang!"

The skull of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake shattered upon impact. Its eyes rolled back, its body soon stopped writhing, and it ceased breathing.

"Xiaotian, the only exit from Hell Road is that gap in the boulders!"

"It's over twenty meters high; how are we supposed to get out?"

Hu Liena asked, looking troubled.

Just then, a red bead suddenly appeared inside the mouth of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake, shimmering with light.

"Good heavens, what is this!"

Hu Liena stared at the orb in disbelief.

"This is the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake; it might come in handy later."

After saying this, Li Jiutian tucked the inner core into his pouch.

Tang San and Ma Hongjun's opportunities had all been snatched away by Li Jiutian; if those two were to find out, they would likely be furious to the point of death.

Just then, a roar suddenly erupted from behind them!

"Oh no, that beast has revived!"

"There's no time! Nana, quickly tear my coat into strips and tie them into a rope!"

"In a moment, I'll throw you up to the surface, then you can lower the rope and pull me up!"

After Li Jiutian took off his coat and handed it to her, he swung the God-Slaying Hammer violently toward a crevice in the rocks!

"BOOM!"

The force of the hammer blasted a hole roughly fifty meters wide!

At this moment, the two could clearly see that beyond the hole lay the world above!

The intense sunlight shone down upon them, giving them the feeling of having regained their freedom!

"ROAR!"

At this moment, the angry roar behind them drew closer and closer!

"Xiaotian, I'm ready!"

Hu Liena quickly finished the rope and leaped into mid-air!

Just then, Li Jiutian grabbed her ankle and hurled her out through the hole!

Hu Liena flew in a straight line for thirty meters before flipping in the air and landing perfectly on the ground!

"Xiaotian, hurry up and come up!"

Hu Liena lowered the rope down through the hole and shouted.

"Pull me up quickly!"

Li Jiutian immediately grabbed the rope. He looked back to see the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King less than 200 meters away!

Hu Liena used every ounce of her strength to pull the rope upward with all her might!

"You beast, take this hammer!"

Li Jiutian summoned the God-Slaying Hammer and hurled it fiercely at the creature!

The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King let out an angry roar, and with a single swipe of its claw, it swatted the God-Slaying Hammer aside!

At this moment, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King was less than 3 meters away from Li Jiutian, on the verge of biting his thigh!

"Don't you dare hurt Xiaotian!"

Hu Liena let out a sharp cry, unleashing an unprecedented burst of strength that pulled Li Jiutian directly out of the hole!

Feeling the blinding sunlight of the outside world, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King let out a pained roar before flying back into the Hell Road.

"Xia... Xiaotian, as long as you're alright!"

After saying this, Hu Liena's eyelids grew heavy, and she collapsed into Li Jiutian's arms.

"Nana!"

Li Jiutian scooped her up in a bridal carry. Looking at the kind-hearted girl in his arms, tears slid down his cheeks uncontrollably.

"Li Jiutian, oh Li Jiutian, you are such a failure!"

"What is the use of having great strength if you can't even protect the person most important to you!"

Li Jiutian reproached himself.

If Hu Liena hadn't pulled him up at the very last moment, Li Jiutian might have lost his right leg.

Just then, two figures—one gold, one black—swept over from the distance; they were none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

"Xiaotian, you don't need to blame yourself so much. Nana has simply fainted from overexerting her Soul Power."

Ghost Douluo spoke first, patting him on the shoulder to offer comfort.

"Let's head back first. His Majesty the Pope knew you were braving the Hell Road and specifically sent Old Ghost and me here to wait for you!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo also chimed in.

Li Jiutian nodded slightly, then released Bai Wanting from his pouch.

"Finally out!"

"The outside world is truly wonderful!"

Bai Wanting looked at everything around her, filled with joy.

"Who is this young lady?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked, his guard up.

"Her name is Bai Wanting, and she helped me a great deal back in Slaughter City!"

"Let her accompany us back for the time being," Li Jiutian introduced.

Chrysanthemum Douluo gave a slight nod, and soon after, they boarded a luxurious carriage and set off toward the Pope Hall.

Since Li Jiutian had already spoken, neither Chrysanthemum Douluo nor his companion found it appropriate to object.

Although they were elders of Spirit Hall, their status was far inferior to that of Li Jiutian.

Seven days later.

Early morning.

Inside a luxurious room within Spirit Hall.

Hu Liena slowly opened her eyes and discovered Li Jiutian sleeping by her bedside.

How long have I been unconscious? Has Little Tian been guarding my side this entire time?

Hu Liena looked at the sleeping Li Jiutian, a warmth spreading through her heart.

She felt that all her sacrifices had been worth it in this very moment!

Sensing movement on the bed, Li Jiutian opened his eyes and said excitedly, "Nana, you're finally awake!"

"Mm!"

Hu Liena's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head.
