"Besides, if Dai Mubai comes along too, we'll definitely clash. Your teacher will surely side with his student, wouldn't that put us in even more danger?" Jun Yi countered.
"Can..."
"There are no 'buts' about it. There's no room for discussion. If we're not going to save them, we're not going to save them. What are all these excuses for?"
Jun Yi's words effectively blocked any escape route. He then turned and left, heading towards another part of the open space.
Jun Yi's Pride attitude enraged Tang San, who suppressed his anger and coldly said, "Do you think you can just say whatever you want? Senior might not think that way."
At this moment, Bone Douluo casually interjected, "What Jun Yi said is exactly what I was thinking."
"Your Majesty Bone Douluo, are you really going to stand by and watch me die?" Tang San looked at Bone Douluo in disbelief.
" Kid Jun, your words may be harsh, but they are indeed true. My purpose in coming here is to add Soul Ring to Rongrong and the others; ensuring their safety is my top priority."
Bone Douluo paused, then continued, "If I were alone here, I would certainly go with you to rescue that little girl, but I'm sorry, my first priority is to ensure Rongrong and the others' safety."
Bone Douluo also politely declined Tang San's offer, and Tang San's disappointment was visibly palpable.
He thought he had met a savior, but he never expected to encounter a group of cowards who would stand by and watch him die.
"Hmph, to stand by and watch someone die is unjust; you've already chosen your own path to destruction."
Tang San silently memorized Jun Yi and Bone Douluo, along with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
However, he still feigned disappointment and said, "Senior must have his own difficulties, so I won't press you any further. Farewell."
After saying that, Tang San swallowed a Flying Mushroom Sausage, and wings grew back on his back. He was about to fly in the direction where the Titan Giant Ape had left.
At that moment, Jun Yi happened to be in this direction as well, holding a long, silver-white sword, as if he were waiting for something.
The instant Tang San flew past Jun Yi, Jun Yi channeled his Soul Power into his Soul Tool, unleashing five consecutive sky-blue sword beams.
"Why?"
Seeing the blade flying towards him, Tang San quickly dodged and distanced himself from Jun Yi.
Just as he was about to turn around and get angry with Jun Yi, he heard the sound of Soul Beast roaring from the direction Jun Yi's sword light was aimed at.
"You should thank me, otherwise you might have died at its hands."
Jun Yi sheathed his Soul Tool sword and spoke calmly to Tang San.
Tang San looked up and saw a purple spider writhing around. All its legs had been severed, and its carapace was covered with a layer of bluish-purple light. Dark purple liquid was constantly flowing from the wounds around its eight eyes, and it was clear that it was about to die.
"That's Man Faced Demon Spider?"
Tang San recognized the Soul Beast that Jun Yi had killed as the Man Faced Demon Spider by observing the white markings on the spider's underside and the shape of its black body, which formed a ferocious human face.
As the Man Faced Demon Spider died, a purple Soul Ring slowly condensed from its Man Faced Demon Spider.
Tang San suddenly felt an urge to absorb it, but since the Man Faced Demon Spider had been killed by Jun Yi, Tang San had no way to absorb it.
"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and save Xiao Wu, or she'll probably be swallowed by the Titan Giant Ape," Jun Yi coldly reminded him.
Tang San snapped out of his daze and didn't hesitate any longer. Right now, Xiao Wu was the most important thing. He used all his strength to activate the wings on his back and flew towards the direction where the Titan Giant Ape had left.
Jun Yi slowly walked to the side of the Man Faced Demon Spider, used the ROOM space to envelop it, and then used the ROOM Tact to control the corpse of the Man Faced Demon Spider.
"Huh, where's that External Soul Bone?"
Jun Yi was very curious after examining the corpse of the Man Faced Demon Spider but not finding the Eight Spider Lances.
"System, could it be that the Man Faced Demon Spider I killed isn't the one Tang San killed in the original story?" Jun Yi asked the system curiously, somewhat puzzled.
"That's it. The Eight Spider Lances are different from ordinary External Soul Bone; they are parasitic on the Soul Ring," the system replied.
"How do I retrieve it? I can't just absorb the Soul Ring, can I?"
"The host's Op-Op Fruit," the system reminded.
I'll give it a try.
Jun Yi controlled the purple Soul Ring, carefully analyzing its composition. Sure enough, he discovered something different; the Soul Ring contained other energies.
Immediately afterwards, Jun Yi separated that different energy from the Soul Ring, and then that energy formed itself into a small Eight Spider Lances the size of a palm.
"Ha, the Eight Spider Lances are in hand, Buddha Ancestor Tang. I didn't mean to steal your opportunity; it came to me of its own accord, didn't it?"
Jun Yi muttered to himself, and then Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing walked over.
"There's even a Man Faced Demon Spider here. You can kill as many of these Soul Beast as you want without feeling guilty," Ning Rongrong said with disgust upon seeing the dead Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse on the ground.
Then she noticed the small purple Eight Spider Lances in Jun Yi's hand and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"This is really good stuff."
Jun Yi saw Ning Rongrong reach out to grab it, he deliberately raised it above his head, but Ning Rongrong jumped around several times and still couldn't touch it.
"Hmph, I'm not watching. It's definitely not good."
Ning Rongrong pouted angrily, then crossed her arms and turned around, clearly looking angry.
" Zhu Zhuqing, guess what this is?" Jun Yi deliberately ignored Ning Rongrong and turned to ask Zhu Zhuqing Qing.
"This is Soul Bone, right? But which part of the Soul Bone is it?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked curiously at the strange-looking Soul Bone in Jun Yi's hand, somewhat puzzled.
"You guessed right, this is a Soul Bone, and one that everyone wants, ranked second on that Soul Master Dream Ranking." Jun Yi deliberately said in Ning Rongrong's direction.
" Big Brother Jun, do you mean this is an External Soul Bone?"
Zhu Zhuqing was shocked; she never expected to see an External Soul Bone.
"Tch, I think you're just bragging! You don't come across External Soul Bone so easily!" Ning Rongrong retorted with her back to Jun Yi.
"Don't believe me? Then let Grandpa Bone take a look."
After saying that, Jun Yi walked towards Bone Douluo, while Ning Rongrong held Zhu Zhuqing's hand and followed behind Jun Yi, wanting to see if what Jun Yi said was true.
" Grandpa Bone, I just found something on the corpse of the Man Faced Demon Spider. It looks like Soul Bone, but it doesn't quite look like Soul Bone. Could you help me identify what it is?"
After saying that, Jun Yi raised the small Eight Spider Lances in his hand for Bone Douluo to examine.
Bone Douluo became interested upon hearing that it was Soul Bone, and then he carefully examined the small purple Hachi- spider bone in Jun Yi's hand, infusing it with his Soul Power...
