Yu Xiaogang's Hypocrisy Exposed, Abandoning Liu Erlong! Betrayal!

"Don't touch her."

Qian Daoliu said.

Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang lying on the ground.

She did not move any closer.

Flender stood nearby, his face filled with conflicting emotions.

He wanted to explain on Yu Xiaogang's behalf, only to find that he, too, could find no justification.

Qian Daoliu raised his right hand.

A strand of golden divine light slowly gathered between his fingers.

Yu Xiaogang immediately raised his head.

"Senior!"

"I offended you just now."

"I'm willing to compensate you."

"Shrek Academy is willing to compensate you as well."

Qian Daoliu looked at him.

"Weren't you demanding my surrender just now?"

Yu Xiaogang's expression grew even uglier.

"That was only..."

"Didn't you say the Golden Iron Triangle would make me pay?"

Yu Xiaogang knelt on the shattered paving stones.

Both his knees were already stained red with blood.

He lowered his head, his body bearing Qian Daoliu's overwhelming pressure, without a trace of his earlier arrogance.

"Senior, I was wrong."

"I shouldn't have brought people here to offend you."

"Please spare my life, Senior."

Qian Daoliu did not strike immediately.

He looked at Yu Xiaogang before him.

Earlier, this man had stood outside the Hotel, lecturing him in his capacity as a grandmaster of theory.

Now that the Golden Sacred Dragon had been shattered with a single finger, he had immediately dropped to his knees and begged for mercy.

So-called dignity.

So-called justice.

Shrek Academy's so-called bottom line.

Before true power, all of it had become empty words.

"Raise your head."

Yu Xiaogang stiffened.

Qian Daoliu said:

"Aren't you best at teaching others?"

"Now, I'll let you see clearly with your own eyes."

"The Golden Sacred Dragon you're so proud of is nothing before me."

Yu Xiaogang slowly raised his head.

Qian Daoliu flicked his finger.

Golden divine light descended once more.

Luo Sanpao's body shattered on the spot.

Yu Xiaogang's body shuddered, and blood sprayed from his mouth.

Bracing both hands against the ground, he collapsed before Qian Daoliu once again.

"Spare me, Senior!"

"I truly know I was wrong!"

"I'll never dare offend you again, Senior!"

Qian Daoliu withdrew his right hand.

The golden light dissipated between his fingers.

"Remember how you look today."

"Your so-called Golden Iron Triangle has been crushed by a single finger of mine."

"And you, a grandmaster of theory, are nothing but a worthless fraud living on deception."

Yu Xiaogang knelt on the rubble-strewn street.

Luo Sanpao's phantom dissipated completely.

Flender and Liu Erlong stood in the distance, neither speaking up to plead for him again.

Yu Xiaogang knelt on the shattered paving stones.

Blood flowed from his forehead, dripping down his cheeks.

Qian Daoliu stood before him.

Liu Erlong and Flender had already retreated into the distance.

No one spoke up for Yu Xiaogang anymore.

At the other end of the street, Tang San's face was pale.

He wanted to step forward, but Dai Mubai held him back.

He could crush the Golden Sacred Dragon with just one finger.

Power like that was already on a level they could not intervene in.

Yu Xiaogang raised his head with difficulty.

"Senior."

"Zhao Wuji is already dead."

"The Golden Iron Triangle has also been defeated by you."

"Shrek Academy has already paid a sufficient price."

Qian Daoliu looked at him.

"Why didn't you think about the price when you brought people here to kill me?"

Yu Xiaogang's breath caught.

"I didn't know how powerful you were."

"If I'd known you possessed such cultivation, I would never have come to offend you."

Qian Daoliu said flatly:

"So, you haven't realized you were wrong."

"You've merely discovered you can't afford to provoke me."

Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale.

The pressure still pinned his knees to the ground.

Broken stones pierced his clothing, and blood had already stained his robe red.

But he paid no attention to any of that.

The most important thing now was to survive.

As long as he could leave this place, he would still have a chance.

Tang San possessed twin martial souls.

The Clear Sky Sect would not remain in seclusion forever, either.

Once Tang San truly matured, everything he had suffered today could be repaid sooner or later.

Yu Xiaogang lowered his head.

"Your reprimand is justified, Senior."

"I'm willing to make amends to you."

"Whatever you want, I can agree to it."

Qian Daoliu did not respond.

After waiting a moment, Yu Xiaogang could not help raising his head again.

Looking at that excessively youthful face, he still harbored doubts.

The man before him showed not the slightest sign of aging.

More importantly, he possessed ten soul rings.

Yu Xiaogang had consulted a vast number of Spirit Hall's ancient texts.

Even after reaching Titled Douluo, a soul master only had nine soul rings.

Even a rank ninety-nine Peerless Douluo could not break this rule.

Yu Xiaogang could not help asking:

"Who exactly are you?"

"What is your connection to Spirit Hall?"

Qian Daoliu glanced at him.

"You dared bring people here to kill me without even finding out who I am."

"Yu Xiaogang, is this the wisdom you're so proud of?"

Yu Xiaogang's expression froze.

He was just about to explain.

Qian Daoliu had already raised his right hand.

Golden divine light gathered at his fingertips.

Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted.

"Senior!"

"I've already admitted I was wrong!"

"You can't kill me!"

Golden light shot from between Qian Daoliu's fingers.

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly raised his right arm to block it.

Squelch!

The divine light sliced across his shoulder.

His entire right arm separated from his body on the spot, landing several paces away.

Blood sprayed over the shattered paving stones.

Yu Xiaogang toppled to one side.

"My arm!"

He pressed his left hand against his severed shoulder.

Blood gushed between his fingers.

The excruciating pain rapidly twisted his face.

Yu Xiaogang curled up on the ground, the veins on his forehead throbbing incessantly.

Qian Daoliu withdrew his hand.

"This arm is the price for attacking me."

Yu Xiaogang looked at his right arm lying in the distance.

After losing an arm, even his most basic martial soul research would be affected.

Luo Sanpao was already flawed.

Now that his body was also incomplete, what could he do in the future?

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly raised his head.

"Senior."

"I'm still useful."

"I've studied martial souls for years and know many secrets of the soul master world."

"As long as you let me go, I can tell you everything."

Qian Daoliu did not speak.

Yu Xiaogang grew increasingly panicked.

Martial soul theory could not sway him.

Shrek Academy had no value, either.

Even the Golden Sacred Dragon had been shattered by a single finger of Qian Daoliu's.

What else did he have to trade for his life?

Yu Xiaogang's gaze shifted.

His eyes landed on Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong wore a long black dress.

The fitted dress hugged her voluptuous figure, with a scarlet belt tied around her waist.

After the battle just now, dust had already stained its hem.

A lock of black hair hung beside her face, and traces of blood that had not yet been wiped clean remained at the corner of her lips.

She was still radiant and captivating.

A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

"Senior."

"Erlong is a Power Attack System Soul Saint."

"She possesses the Fire Dragon Martial Soul, and both her looks and figure are exceptional."

Liu Erlong froze where she stood.

She looked at Yu Xiaogang kneeling on the ground, the color draining from her face little by little.

Flender whipped his head around.

"Xiaogang, what are you trying to say?"

Yu Xiaogang ignored him.

His gaze remained fixed on Qian Daoliu.

"Erlong has waited for me for many years."

"She has always listened to me."

"As long as I ask, she won't refuse."

"If you like her, Senior, I can have her become your woman."

The street fell silent.

Liu Erlong stood rooted to the spot.

She had thought she had already seen Yu Xiaogang for who he was.

Plagiarizing Spirit Hall's texts.

Using Bibi Dong to enter the Library.

Treating her as a substitute after failing to have Bibi Dong.

But she had never imagined that Yu Xiaogang could do something even more despicable.

To save his own life.

He had actually treated her as an object he could give away.

Liu Erlong walked up to Yu Xiaogang, step by step.

"Xiaogang."

"What did you just say?"

Yu Xiaogang avoided her gaze.

"Erlong, I have no other choice."

"Senior's strength is unrivaled."

"If you follow him, you'll only gain more than you have now."

Liu Erlong's eyes reddened.

"So you're going to give me to him?"

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth.

"We can't be together anyway."

"Even if you keep following me, nothing will come of it."

"Rather than waste your whole life, you should follow someone truly strong."

Liu Erlong stopped before him.

She lowered her head and looked at the man she had waited for all these years.

The feelings she had once been unwilling to let go of shattered completely at that moment.

She had left her clan for Yu Xiaogang.

She had established Blue Tyrant Academy for Yu Xiaogang.

As long as he was willing to return, she could even disregard the world's judgment.

Yet Yu Xiaogang had never held her in his heart.

When he needed her, he would soothe her with a few words.

When danger came, he gave her to someone else without hesitation.

Liu Erlong raised her hand.

Slap!

A slap landed on Yu Xiaogang's face.

Yu Xiaogang toppled to the ground.

Blood mingled with the blood flowing from his severed arm.

Liu Erlong stood before him.

Tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

"From this day on, there is nothing between us."

Yu Xiaogang covered his face.

"Erlong, I'm doing this for everyone's sake too."

"Only if I survive will there be a chance to rebuild Shrek Academy."

Liu Erlong closed her eyes.

She did not look at Yu Xiaogang again.

Any explanation had already lost its meaning.

A ray of golden light descended from the Hotel.

Qian Renxue appeared beside Qian Daoliu.

She had already stabilized her level-seventy Soul Power.

Her white dress swayed gently in the golden light, and three pairs of angel wings folded behind her.

Qian Renxue glanced at the severed arm on the ground, then looked at Yu Xiaogang.

She had already heard what he had just said.

Disgust immediately appeared on her delicate face.

"To save your own life, you would even give away the woman who has stayed by your side for years."

"Are you even human?"

Yu Xiaogang did not dare argue.

He had already lost his right arm.

If he continued to anger Qian Daoliu, he might never leave this place again.

Qian Renxue came to her grandfather's side.

She linked her arm through Qian Daoliu's, unwilling to spare Yu Xiaogang another glance.

"Grandpa."

"The very existence of someone like him only disgusts people."

At that form of address, Yu Xiaogang's body instantly stiffened.

Grandpa?

Qian Renxue, who possessed the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, had actually addressed the man before him as her grandfather.

In all of Spirit Hall, only one person held such a status.

Yu Xiaogang finally understood.

The White-Haired Man standing before him was none other than Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined.

Qian Daoliu.

But the Qian Daoliu of today had already broken through the limit of level ninety-nine.

That tenth Soul Ring was the most direct proof.

Not a trace of hope for a lucky escape remained on Yu Xiaogang's face.

Qian Daoliu looked down at him.

"You just said you could give Liu Erlong to me."

Yu Xiaogang's lips went pale.

"Senior, I only want to live."

"As long as you're willing to spare me, I'll do anything."

Qian Daoliu raised his right hand.

Angel Divine Power formed a golden mark in his palm.

"In that case."

"Then let Bibi Dong see clearly with her own eyes."

"Just what a cowardly, shameless piece of trash the man she once loved truly is."

The golden mark hovered above Qian Daoliu's palm.

Yu Xiaogang stared at the mark, his face pale.

"What is that?"

Qian Daoliu waved his hand.

The golden mark instantly sank into Yu Xiaogang's forehead.

"Ah!"

Yu Xiaogang clutched his head and collapsed onto the shattered stone paving.

Golden Divine Runes spread outward from his forehead.

His past memories were recorded in full by the Angel Divine Power.

Entering Spirit Hall's Library.

Using Bibi Dong's status to consult its texts.

After leaving Spirit Hall, compiling the contents of those texts into his own theories.

And his offer just now to give Liu Erlong to Qian Daoliu to save his own life.

Every scene was sealed within that mark.

Whenever Qian Daoliu wished, Bibi Dong would be able to see all of it with her own eyes.

Yu Xiaogang raised his left hand, trying to wipe away the divine runes on his forehead.

The moment his fingers touched his skin, golden radiance repelled his hand.

"Don't touch it."

Qian Daoliu looked at him.

"This mark has already merged with your Sea of Consciousness."

"If you forcibly destroy it, you will immediately become an idiot."

Yu Xiaogang's hand froze in midair.

He did not dare touch it again.

Qian Daoliu beckoned with his hand.

Golden Soul Power coiled around Yu Xiaogang's body and lifted him from the ground.

The blood flowing from his severed arm was sealed off by Angel Divine Power.

Yu Xiaogang hung in midair, his legs dangling and his robes covered in dust and blood.

Qian Daoliu turned and walked toward the Hotel.

Qian Renxue held her grandfather's arm.

She did not look at Yu Xiaogang again.

At the end of the street.

Tang San hid behind a carriage.

His right hand was already pressed against Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.

Several Dragon Whisker Needles were concealed between his fingers.

His Purple Demon Eye was already active as well.

Yet Tang San never made a move.

The sight of Qian Daoliu defeating the Golden Sacred Dragon with one finger still lingered in his mind.

The Dragon Whisker Needles might not even be able to penetrate Zhao Wuji's defenses.

Against Qian Daoliu, they would be even more useless.

Dai Mubai held Tang San's arm down.

"Don't go out there."

"He'll kill us."

Oscar stood on the other side of the carriage.

There was not a trace of color in his face.

Ma Hongjun hid behind the crowd, not even daring to release his Martial Soul.

They could only watch as Qian Daoliu took Yu Xiaogang away.

Tang San gritted his teeth.

"Teacher..."

He wanted to step forward.

Qian Daoliu suddenly stopped.

Tang San's body instantly stiffened.

Qian Daoliu did not turn around.

Golden Divine Light spread from beneath his feet, sweeping outward along the street.

The carriage instantly disintegrated into splinters.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were all exposed.

The surrounding onlookers hurriedly backed away.

Tang San stood where he was.

He still had a Dragon Whisker Needle hidden between his fingers.

Qian Daoliu turned his head.

"Want to save him?"

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was suspended in midair.

Yu Xiaogang also spotted his disciple.

Hope returned to his eyes.

"Little San!"

"Save me!"

Tang San's fingers slowly tightened.

Dai Mubai immediately stepped in front of him.

"Tang San, don't act rashly."

Seeing that Tang San had not stepped forward, Yu Xiaogang grew increasingly panicked.

"Little San, I'm your teacher!"

"You can't just watch him take me away!"
