The Same Trick, and You Fell for It Twice, You Idiots!

Tang San really thought his stupid diversionary tactic would work.

Yet Qian Sha Yu paid no attention to Gu Rong, who was trying to save the hostages.

His scarlet demonic eyes pierced through the smoke filling the sky and locked directly onto the petite figure standing at the very back of Shrek's formation, using the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda with all her strength—Ning Rongrong!

A spine-chilling curve spread across Qian Sha Yu's lips.

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

"Tang San, Tang San, you self-righteous little idiot. Did you really think you were the only one in this world capable of scheming?"

The Slaughter Wings on Qian Sha Yu's back suddenly trembled, and an unprecedented forbidden roar erupted from his entire body!

Qian Sha Yu didn't care about the execution platform at all. From beginning to end, those four pieces of trash had never been his target.

His target was the lifeblood of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—Ning Rongrong!

The radiance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda still flickered in midair.

No one had expected that Qian Sha Yu, who had seemed to be firmly restrained by the Shrek group, would suddenly turn his blade around.

There was no warning, nor were there any unnecessary feints.

Among the nine brilliant soul rings around Qian Sha Yu, the deepest ninth ring erupted with a bloody streak of light.

"Godslayer Blood Curse!"

Boundless, violent murderous aura transformed into a surging sea of Asura blood, sweeping overwhelmingly toward Ning Rongrong at the rear of the formation.

Everything happened too quickly.

Ning Rongrong's petite body stiffened.

The sky full of bone-chilling blood was reflected in her beautiful eyes, and an icy awareness of approaching death rose in her mind.

In her eyes, the world before her had already vanished. All that remained was a blood-red demonic palm, vast enough to cover the heavens, crashing down from above!

At the same time,

Bone Douluo Gu Rong's enormous Bone Dragon Claw had already seized Xue Ye the Great, Prince Xue Xing, Princess Xueke, and Tang Yuehua tightly in its grasp.

"Go!" Gu Rong roared, activating spatial power to drag the four of them into an interdimensional rift.

But the next moment—

"Clang—! Crack!"

The Bone Dragon Claw suddenly exerted force, yet dozens of dark-red chains as thick as arms abruptly lit up deep within the execution platform.

Like blood-red vines parasitizing the execution platform's foundation, those chains were firmly embedded in the clavicles of Xue Ye the Great and the other three.

No matter how the Bone Dragon Claw pulled, the four figures seemed fused with the execution platform itself, utterly immovable.

"Damn it! It's a trap!"

Gu Rong's expression changed drastically, and his heart sank.

They had fallen for it!

These four so-called major criminals were nothing more than bait Qian Sha Yu had used to fish for them.

Before Gu Rong could even react to the trap,

A scream suddenly rang out below.

"Ah! Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, save me!!!" Ning Rongrong cried.

Gu Rong and Sword Douluo Chen Xin in the distance felt their hearts leap into their throats.

"Rongrong!"

Qian Sha Yu's blood-red afterimage, like a world-destroying demon god, was charging toward the defenseless Ning Rongrong with unstoppable force.

Another diversion!

It was exactly like the battle at Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, when Qian Sha Yu had ambushed Ning Fengzhi.

They knew it was an utterly crude but undeniable scheme.

But Ning Rongrong was the lifeblood of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As long as her life was involved, the two world-famous Super Douluo couldn't retain even a shred of reason!

"Bastard! How dare you!" Chen Xin's eyes nearly split apart.

He couldn't even spare a thought for Porcupinefish Douluo, whom he had been fighting moments ago.

With a furious roar, he turned and cleaved through the air with his sword, sprinting madly toward Ning Rongrong.

Gu Rong was even more enraged.

He decisively gave up on grabbing the four people atop the execution platform.

The Bone Dragon Claw tore through space by force, emerging directly from the interdimensional space and diving down at top speed to block Ning Rongrong.

Concern had thrown them into chaos!

At that moment, the defensive focus of both Titled Douluo was completely led by the nose.

In that lightning-fast instant, just as Gu Rong positioned himself in front of Ning Rongrong and prepared to take the ninth soul skill head-on,

Qian Sha Yu suddenly bared his teeth in an incomparably wicked, bloodthirsty grin.

"Elder She Long, get him!" Qian Sha Yu bellowed.

The Godslayer Blood Curse that had been hurtling toward Ning Rongrong suddenly traced an impossibly strange ninety-degree turn in midair and blasted toward Gu Rong, who had landed in haste!

"What?" Gu Rong and Chen Xin nearly felt their blood freeze.

His target had never been Ning Rongrong!

From the beginning, Qian Sha Yu had used this fatal weakness to force Gu Rong to abandon the rescue and force him to cross space in the flesh.

"Hahaha, yes, Young Master!"

Snake Spear Douluo She Long, who had been waiting to strike, let out a wild laugh.

The spear in his hand transformed into a giant serpent and stabbed out diagonally from Gu Rong's blind spot with piercing force.

A killing soul skill in front.

A fatal strike from the side.

Gu Rong hadn't even managed to fully unleash his defensive Martial Soul Avatar before being trapped in a pincer attack.

"Old Bone!"

Gu Rong's sworn brother, Chen Xin, was also beside himself with fury.

But he was too far away. There was no way he could make it in time!

Gu Rong gritted his teeth until they cracked, frantically mobilizing his soul power to forcibly tear open a half-formed, unstable spatial rift before his chest.

"Boom!"

The two earth-shattering soul skills exploded, and the shockwave tore up several meters of soil from the ground.

Within the turbulent currents of bloodlight and serpent shadows,

Gu Rong's aged afterimage was blasted straight into the spatial rift.

A horrifying spray of blood burst forth.

Thud!

A severed right arm of stark white bone, covered in shredded flesh and gushing blood, slammed heavily onto the cold granite floor.

His right arm had been blown off and severed completely!

"Grandpa Bone!!!"

Seeing the bloody severed arm by her feet, Ning Rongrong collapsed to the ground and wept her heart out.

"Get lost!"

Chen Xin finally arrived.

With one sword strike, he forced She Long back and stood firmly in front of Ning Rongrong.

His knuckles had turned white from clenching them, and he stared fixedly at that severed arm, his entire face terrifyingly grim.

"What a pity." Qian Sha Yu held the Slaughter Blood Sword as he regretfully withdrew his gaze and muttered, "Tch, he's a spatial user after all. I only managed to leave behind an arm."

The killing intent around him grew increasingly scorching and violent as he tilted his head slightly, his scarlet demonic eyes slowly sweeping toward the Shrek group, who had long since been scared senseless.

"Buzz..."

The space beside Chen Xin suddenly twisted.

A mangled, blood-soaked figure staggered out of the rift.

Gu Rong's face was as pale as a corpse's. His left hand pressed tightly against the wound on his right shoulder, where blood poured out in torrents.

His forehead was covered in dense beads of cold sweat, and his right arm had been completely erased.

"Grandpa Bone!" Ning Rongrong cried even harder at the sight.

"Foolish girl, Grandpa Bone is fine. I won't die yet."

Enduring the agony, Gu Rong used his trembling left hand to stroke Ning Rongrong's head.

Then he abruptly raised his head and roared urgently at Chen Xin, "You old sword bastard! Retreat!"

"The execution platform is a Death Anchor. We can't take them away at all!"

"Alright! Let's go!" Chen Xin didn't hesitate in the slightest.

Gu Rong clenched his teeth and forcibly circulated the turbulent soul power within him. With a slash of his left hand through the air, he shouted, "Space Rend, open!"

A massive spatial gate opened behind them.

"Get in, quickly! Oscar! Zhu Qing! Retreat!" Dai Mubai also shouted urgently.

The rescue plan had become a complete joke.

Faced with naked death, they ran faster than anyone.

But just as the Shrek group descended into chaos and desperately rushed toward the spatial rift in disgrace, something unexpected happened.

"You think you can come and go as you please? Do you take this place for a brothel?!"

Qian Renxue wore a mocking expression.

"Slaughter Domain! Crush his Death God Domain for me!"

Scarlet murderous aura several times more immense than before instantly smashed Tang San's prized Death God Domain to pieces!

Tang San had originally been stationed dozens of meters away in a defensive position.

But the instant that terrifying Slaughter Domain appeared, his legs felt as though ten thousand jin of lead had pinned them firmly to the floor, leaving him unable to move.

Bloodlight flashed!

Qian Sha Yu transformed into a blood-red streak that pierced through the void.

The icy shockwave of certain death targeted Tang San's chest.

"No!"

Tang San's pupils shrank to pinpoints, and his blood turned ice-cold.

Gu Rong was by the spatial gate in the distance, while Chen Xin was protecting Ning Rongrong. No one could help him block this sword.

The shadow of death, carrying an overpowering stench of blood, clutched at his throat.
