Tang San was exhausted and didn't want to open his eyes, but that sensation was becoming more and more real.
The tightness that had returned was being stretched open once again, over and over.
Worst of all, the foul, fishy stench poured straight into his mouth.
He opened his eyes with extreme reluctance. Through the haze, a nightmarish, inhuman face came into view.
"No! Mmph! Mmph! Mmph!!!"
Tang San's eyes flew wide, and all his drowsiness vanished. He struggled violently, but his whole body was weak, and two Wolf Bandits pinned him firmly against a large rock.
"No!"
"Why?"
"Kill!
I'll kill you all!"
Tang San's fury erupted. Blue Silver Emperor vines shot out like spears, piercing the Wolf Bandits in front of and behind him.
The Eight Spider Lances tore through his clothes, grotesque and terrifying, and plunged straight into the Wolf Bandits.
Devouring activated.
Tang San's eyes were blood red. With a gagging sound, he spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
The tearing pain from his backside continued. The Wolf Bandit pierced by the Blue Silver Emperor vines was still twitching, then suddenly surged into action.
Tang San couldn't help letting out a moan. Warmth flooded into his belly, and he actually felt a peculiar sense of comfort.
But fury quickly surged into his heart. "Ah!!!! Kill! Kill! Kill!!!
Kill you all!
Kill every last one of you!!!"
Tang San was on the verge of collapse. The Eight Spider Lances pierced one Wolf Bandit after another, and the power of devouring made him fight with ever greater strength. Even his Soul Power increased noticeably.
"Why?
Why did you have to force me?
Qian Xunji!
Bibi Dong!
Spirit Hall!
You have already found your own path to death!!!"
The Eight Spider Lances took the place of his feet, and he leaped away.
Tang San charged into a small village without hesitation.
He had yet to fully recover.
He needed power. He needed vitality.
Cultivating on his own was too slow, so he could only plunder.
To devour.
On the azure leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor, the original golden patterns gradually turned black, and the vines grew deeper in color.
No one knew how much time had passed before Tang San gradually came to his senses.
The Eight Spider Lances on his back had turned an eerie blood red, while the Blue Silver Emperor had turned purplish black.
A dark, black gleam emanated from his eyes, cold and frightening.
"Dad!"
Beneath the waterfall, Tang San spoke with little emotion.
He didn't go to the cave behind the waterfall. He didn't know why; he simply didn't want to.
Even though his mother was there.
Hearing his call, Tang Hao leaped out. The moment he saw Tang San, his gaze froze.
"Xiao San, you!"
He could hardly believe it. How long had his son been gone?
How had his bearing changed so much?
Before, one look at Tang San had been enough to make people feel at ease. He had carried a natural air that made people want to draw close to him.
But now Tang San was gloomy, killing intent spilling out of him, his eyes almost devoid of emotion.
"Eldest uncle is dead!"
Tang San wasted no words. He had come to tell Tang Hao the news. "He was killed by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo of Spirit Hall, working together.
We ran into them in Vast Sea City.
Eldest uncle told me to leave first, but he couldn't make it out."
Tang Hao's expression changed drastically, as though he had been struck by lightning.
"No, why?!
O vast heavens!!! Why have you treated me so cruelly!!!!
What wrong have I, Tang Hao, committed?"
Tang Hao wept bitterly, stirring up the hidden injuries in his body. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Dad, this isn't the time for grief.
Do you know of any other extraordinary places on the continent?
I can't go to Sea God Island anymore.
I need to find another path to godhood."
"Another path to godhood?"
Tang Hao looked at Tang San. His own son had changed too much.
What had he experienced these past few days?
He had a vague feeling that the killing intent on Tang San hadn't come from killing enemies normally.
The people he had killed were probably not enemies.
But Tang Hao didn't care. Instead, the killing intent on Tang San reminded him of a place.
"There is one!
Slaughter City!"
...Sky screen timeline...
Bibi Dong was still pinned to the profound ice platform, enduring the scorching sun and the gnawing cold.
The profound ice platform had spent a full month beneath the sun without melting. Cold Qi simply kept escaping from it, freezing even the surrounding seawater beneath a thick layer of ice.
After his affinity with the Creation God reached 20%, Qian Xunji could already control all the basic elements as he pleased.
"It's almost time."
Bo Saixi appeared beside Qian Xunji. Her complexion was noticeably rosier than it had been before he arrived.
It was all thanks to Qian Xunji.
Especially after Bibi Dong came and Bo Saixi said those words.
Qian Xunji had grown increasingly unrestrained.
And this fellow never followed the usual path. He either ambushed her or tied her up and threw her into the little grove.
Who knew how many places on Sea God Island the two of them had visited together?
"It's just as well to go back. I can't let her die here."
The reason Qian Xunji didn't kill Bibi Dong was still out of consideration for Qian Renxue's feelings.
Besides, Bibi Dong no longer posed any threat.
Her godhood had been shattered, and her Martial Soul had been crippled.
A space-time passage opened, forcibly tearing Bibi Dong inside.
Throughout the entire process, Bibi Dong was like a dead woman.
But of course, she couldn't die.
After Bibi Dong left, the image on the sky screen suddenly changed, showing her figure once again.
It was the Bibi Dong of the sky screen's spacetime.
As usual, she busied herself with everything. Whether gathering firewood and cooking or washing clothes and growing vegetables, she did it all herself.
When Yu Xiaogang went out, he bought only rice, not even oil, salt, soy sauce or vinegar.
Bibi Dong spent every day washing her face with tears, and Yu Xiaogang no longer tried to cheer her up.
"Cry, cry, cry. All you know how to do is cry.
What can you do besides cry?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression was impatient. He scraped the food from his bowl and overturned the table. "You still have the nerve to cry?
If it weren't for you, would I be hiding in this valley all day?
It's been months, and you still haven't even conceived. What use are you to me?"
Yu Xiaogang cursed her angrily, no longer pretending to be devoted.
Bibi Dong looked grief-stricken, and she no longer spared Yu Xiaogang's dignity either. "I can't conceive?
With that half-inch stub of yours, you can't even take my virginity.
And you expect me to get pregnant?
I must have been blind to fall for you back then!
You useless trash! You spend all day with your nose buried in books. What can you do besides plagiarize and make things up?
Even if you made those books blossom with your writing, no one would acknowledge you as a genius Soul Master.
You're trash, trash who doesn't dare face reality, self-important trash wallowing in empty fame!"
Bibi Dong cursed at the top of her lungs. "I was so stupid! I gave up a wonderful future, gave up the bright road my teacher paved for me, and chose a piece of trash like you!
Don't you just want me to bear your child?
Hahaha, then show me you're capable of taking my virginity.
Trash!
You're trash at cultivation, and as a man, you're even worse than trash!"
Bibi Dong laughed wildly, determined to vent all the resentment she had held back over the past few months.
Yu Xiaogang's face turned livid. He suddenly stepped forward and slapped Bibi Dong across the face. "Bitch!
Even if I'm trash, you were the one who threw yourself at me.
Your teacher treated you so well. Why did you betray her?
If Spirit Hall was so good, why did you leave it?
You're not just a bitch; you're also a traitor, a traitor to Spirit Hall.
It was only because Qian Xunji was softhearted that he spared your wretched life.
That body of yours is the only thing about you that has any value.
I can't get you pregnant, but there are plenty of people in my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect who can.
When you bear a child, it will still be the seed of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
Yu Xiaogang's expression was dark, while Bibi Dong stared at him in disbelief.
"You... what did you say?"
She could scarcely believe what she had heard.
She rushed into the kitchen. She wanted to kill herself.
But she was already crippled. Yu Xiaogang kicked her to the ground and slapped her across the face.
"Bitch, you should feel honored to carry on my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's bloodline!"
