A Calculated Ambush

"Careful!"

Yu Tianshuang watched the Blue Silver Overlord Spear whizz past her. Without thinking, she first shouted a warning, then immediately stopped pouring Soul Power into the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi. She put away her longsword and quickly turned around. The Frost Dragon Martial Soul immediately possessed her, and a beautifully designed ice-blue armor was put on her body at the same time.

"Bang!"

Without resistance, Yang Wudi's Soul Breaking Spear and Oscar's Blue Silver Overlord Spear landed on Yu Tianshuang's back immediately, piercing through the hastily deployed Ice Emperor Armor and embedding themselves in Yu Tianshuang's back. Then, Tai Tan's earth-yellow energy roar and Dai Mubai's cross slash landed on his back next.

Although the Ice Emperor Armor was hastily produced, this Soul Skill was Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill from the Ice Empress's Soul Ring. Although their attacks pierced through the armor, Yu Tianshuang, with her extremely strong defense after Dragon Transformation and Yu Tianshuang own formidable physical strength, managed to withstand the attacks and, using the resulting recoil, quickly moved towards the Blue Silver Overlord Spear that was aimed at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Third Soul Skill: Netherworld Slash, poof..."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't even need to hear Yu Tianshuang's warning; she had already sensed the danger the moment it arrived. She forcibly suppressed her injuries, staggered to her feet, summoned her Martial Soul Possession, and then struggled to unleash a purplish-black slash, trying to block the powerful spear carrying a spiraling energy.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Just as she unleashed the Netherworld Slash, Tang San, who had anticipated this, stood in mid-air some distance away. With a thought, the Blue Silver Emperor Seed Parasite her body erupted, directly using Yu Tianshuang to freeze her abdomen to prevent the ice from shattering. Her lower abdomen was now a bloody mess, and then everything went black as she lost consciousness. In her last vision, Yu Tianshuang, covered in wounds and filled with barely suppressed anxiety, came before her and grasped the spear.

"You..."

Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing were almost in a straight line, one in front of the other. Although her injuries were not as severe as Zhu Zhuqing's, and she had also received Yu Tianshuang to freeze her wounds and prevent bleeding, she had never experienced anything like this before, and her mind was blank. All she saw was Zhu Zhuqing getting up, then vomiting blood and collapsing. A familiar spear flew right in front of her, almost only a few centimeters away. Her eyes were completely filled with the spear tip, and the extremely penetrating force even pierced a bloody mark on her forehead. But when she closed her eyes in fear, the pain she had imagined did not come. She couldn't help but open her bright eyes and see the man covered in wounds, his hand, Dragon Transformation, tightly gripping the spear from behind, preventing it from advancing even an inch.

"What are you standing there for? Do you want to die? Get out of here!"

Tang San probably hadn't anticipated that after he activated the Blue Silver Emperor's Parasite seed, Zhu Zhuqing would collapse, causing the Blue Silver Overlord Spear to fail to pierce her and instead continue shooting forward towards Bai Chenxiang behind her. This immediately made Tang San break out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't attacked Bai Chenxiang because he wanted to keep Yu Tianshuang, it would have been fine with Yang Wudi around. But if he killed Bai Chenxiang now, Bai He, including the Speed Clan, would definitely not continue to follow him. Fortunately, Yu Tianshuang was somehow out of her mind, actually expending energy protecting the enemy.

"Oh..."

Although Bai Chenxiang Yu Tianshuang's tone was fierce, for some reason, his words sounded like the most beautiful love confession in the world. Bai Chenxiang's heart started pounding uncontrollably. She stared blankly at Yu Tianshuang, whose handsome face was bulging with veins from his desperate struggle to block her, but this did not diminish his charm in her eyes. She only thought that this man who stood in front of her and grabbed the spear that could kill her was too handsome. After a moment of stunned silence, her cute face flushed, and she used all her strength, enduring her painful injuries, to move away slightly.

"Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing..."

Seeing Bai Chenxiang move away, Yu Tianshuang breathed a sigh of relief, released the Blue Silver Overlord Spear from her hand, letting it shoot into the mountain wall behind her. She completely ignored the injuries on her back, picked up Zhu Zhuqing, whose mouth was bleeding and whose small hands were covering her abdomen, which was bleeding profusely, and called out to her.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness... It's alright, Lengleng is here, it's alright, it's alright..."

Zhu Zhuqing was completely unconscious at this moment. Yu Tianshuang used his frost power again to freeze her bleeding abdomen. Sensing through his Soul Power that Zhu Zhuqing still had a breath of life, he muttered to himself, it was unclear whether he was comforting Zhu Zhuqing or himself.

"Sect Master! Chenxiang..."

Bai He, who was with Tang San, and the members of the Speed Clan behind him, held their breath in tension when they saw this scene. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Yu Tianshuang had actually blocked the fatal blow, and then they spoke.

"Grandpa, calm down. Yu Tianshuang didn't save Chenxiang out of kindness. He wants to use Chenxiang's life to threaten us into submission. Calm down!"

Tang San secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waved to stop Bai He who wanted to move forward, and stared at the battered and disheveled Yu Tianshuang, saying, "Today is the best opportunity to kill him and take revenge. If we miss today, I don't know if we will have another chance to kill him. I must seize this opportunity, for my teacher and for Xiao Wu."

"Tang San... I underestimated you. I never imagined you could be even more despicable than I thought, actually using the lives of your own people. Not bad, not bad at all. You truly live up to your reputation as that Grandmaster's disciple; you're incredibly cunning!"

Although Yu Tianshuang knew that it was all an accident, and that even if Tang San were ruthless, he wouldn't risk losing the support of the Speed Clan to do such a thing, it didn't stop him from sowing discord. At this moment, his injuries were more serious than they appeared. Although his powerful physical body had begun to recover on its own, the Divine Power and immense Soul Power he had consumed from using the Ring Fusion and Seven Kill Sword Intent to withstand their combined attack were almost depleted. If the opponent launched another combined attack, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it. Therefore, he could only try to buy time as much as possible, firstly to wait for reinforcements from Spirit City after they sensed the commotion, and secondly to allow himself to recover some of his strength.

"Yu Tianshuang, there's no need to say such childish things. Everyone here is smart. Do you think your low-level words can incite anything? They only make us laugh at you. Are you waiting for something by doing this? Let me tell you, you won't get it. Did you think I wouldn't be adequately prepared for today's attack?"

Tang San's words made Yu Tianshuang frown. Indeed, a long time had passed since the battle began, but there had been no movement from Spirit City. Tang San's words made his already chilling heart sink even further. Tang San still had a backup plan!

"Your His Holiness the Pope, the person who breached the city walls has been confirmed. It's Yu Yuanzhen from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Ling Yuan have already given chase, but given that old tyrannosaurus's strength, I'm afraid the three of them are no match for him..."

A quarter of an hour ago, a huge noise suddenly came from Spirit City. Even Bibi Dong, who was discussing matters with the elders in the Pope's Palace, heard it and immediately sent people to investigate. To their surprise, the person who damaged the city wall and caused the commotion was Yu Yuanzhen, which puzzled the Porcupinefish Douluo who reported the incident.
