The Fall

In that instant when the two locked eyes, Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji exchanged a glance and quietly left, leaving the two in an ambiguous situation.

Qian Renxue wished this moment could last forever. Here, there was no Bibi Dong, whom she hated to the core, but instead, there was her gentle and virtuous mother, her perfect father who had always existed in her imagination, and Yu Tianshuang, who loved her. There weren't so many women around him, especially Shui Bing'er. Everything was just too good, so good that a thought kept rising in Qian Renxue's mind: to stay here, to stay here forever.

"I... I'm leaving now, you..."

This guy... is really arrogant and domineering... Qian Renxue couldn't withstand Yu Tianshuang's direct and intense gaze. After staring at him for a while, her pretty face turned red, and she fled in panic.

"Whoosh..."

Qian Renxue, how could you be so useless? This is clearly an illusion, and that guy was about to say something, couldn't you have just held on a little longer... You really are useless...

Almost as if fleeing suddenly, Qian Renxue returned to her room and couldn't help but take a deep breath, but the burning gaze of Yu Tianshuang just now kept appearing in her mind and she couldn't shake it off.

"Wait... this... why am I also changing... could it be that I entered this illusion as a soul?"

Just as I was about to lie down on the bed for a while to calm my racing heart, I glanced at the mirror in the room. The person in the mirror... was definitely not me in reality. Just like Yu Tianshuang in the illusion, my current appearance was the same as when we first met in the Heaven Dou Empire.

"So, does that mean my body... is being controlled by an evil soul that's been separated from me...? No, I have to leave this illusion as soon as possible. If it's her, who knows what terrible things she might do..."

Hu Liena and Ling Yuan looked at Yue Guan, who had transformed into a golden-armored war god, with disbelief. They had initially thought that without the Gui Mei and unable to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Yue Guan's individual combat strength was not particularly strong. However, seeing him almost single-handedly fighting Tang San, who was wielding the Sea God Trident, to a standstill, and even having the strength to hold off Dai Mubai and the others, the two women exchanged a glance, realizing that they had underestimated Yue Guan all along.

"You've actually cultivated Indestructible Vajra Body, a miraculous feat! No, even with Indestructible Vajra Body, you can't withstand my Sea God Trident. That secret technique just now wasn't just about burning life force, was it?"

After another clash with Yue Guan, Tang San, wielding the Sea God Trident, looked at Yue Guan, clad in golden armor, who was now evenly matched with him, and felt somewhat annoyed. When did it become so difficult for him to even deal with such minor characters...?

"Bang!"

With a single strike, Tang San sent the Ling Yuan Douluo, who was attempting a sneak attack, flying. He glanced at the dilapidated city walls behind Yue Guan and the Soul Master legion whose Soul Power was almost completely depleted. Tang San leisurely swung the Sea God Trident in place. Really, why was he in such a hurry? As long as he stalled Yue Guan's secret technique until it ended, everything would be entirely under his control...

Sixth Soul Skill: Golden Stamen Flowing Rosy Clouds!

Unlike the carefree Tang San, Yue Guan knew the situation was dire. His time was limited and he couldn't afford to waste it. The Old Ghost's revenge, Hu Liena and Ling Yuan behind him, and His Majesty's ambitions all rested on his shoulders.

"Elder Ju, Yue Guan! Stop this secret technique immediately! It's constantly draining your life force!"

Hu Liena and Ling Yuan could only fight Ma Hongjun and the others to prevent them from interfering with Yue Guan and Tang San's battle. However, Dai Mubai and the others seemed to have received some kind of telepathic message and were not fighting the two women at all. Instead, they were just dodging and weaving. This made Hu Liena and Ling Yuan extremely anxious, like ants on a hot pan. If they were dragged out like this, and Yue Guan's secret technique ended, no one would be able to restrain Tang San, and they would be unable to defend against it anymore.

"Enough talk, Ling Yuan, take the Holy Maiden and go!"

Yue Guan unleashed another burst of golden light, her aura surging as she transformed into a streak of light and charged towards Tang San. "But what about you? As the Holy Maiden, there's absolutely no reason for you to abandon your subordinates and run away!"

"Don't you understand? We can't hold them off. Only I can stop Tang San and the others. Hurry up and join His Majesty at Jialing Pass to avenge me and the soldiers of this empire! Quickly!"

Hu Liena was well aware of this. She glanced one last time at the Soul Master Legion members who were looking at her with a death wish, as well as the exhausted ordinary soldiers. Their eyes were now incredibly firm. Two tears slid down Hu Liena's Wumei face, and she nodded silently to them.

"Want to leave? Not so easy, Hu Liena. You must die here and make Yu Tianshuang feel my pain!"

Tang San watched as Ling Yuan Douluo transformed into a streak of crimson flame and fled with Hu Liena, and he immediately became anxious. However, just as he was about to rush out, he was stopped by Yue Guan, and Ma Hongjun and the others were also stopped by the Soul Master Legion, who were now resigned to their fate and did not care about their Soul Power or injuries.

"Fine, fine, since you insist on being so arrogant and blocking my way, then killing you before chasing after them is no problem. Titan Sky Cannon!"

However, Tang San never expected that Yue Guan would withstand his 100,000-year-old Soul Bone Skill and then appear in front of him as a golden light. This made Tang San feel extremely humiliated. Yue Guan was really courting death, daring to fight him, who possessed the world's number one Tool Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.

"What should we do, Boss Dai? We can't get involved at all, and we can't catch up with her either. That woman who uses fire actually has a flying-type Martial Soul; she's too fast. I can't catch her, and although Xiao Wu is fast, she can't fly..."

The battle between Tang San and Yue Guan was so intense that the aftershocks from their close combat made it impossible for them to get close. If they tried to chase after Hu Liena and the others, they would not only be attacked by the Soul Master on the city wall, but they also couldn't keep up in terms of speed. For now, they could only watch anxiously.

"Gaining any power comes at a price. This annoying sissy can only contend with Third Brother now because he used his life-burning secret technique. It won't be long before he's exhausted. As for the two who escaped, it doesn't matter..."

Xiao Wu's desire to avenge herself on Yu Tianshuang by killing Hu Liena was not as strong as Tang San's. On the contrary, she truly hated Yue Guan, who had once killed her mother with Bibi Dong.

"Cough cough..."

After clashing with Tang San again, Yue Guan had just stood up when he couldn't help but cough up two mouthfuls of black blood. He checked his physical condition and could no longer sense the presence of Hu Liena and the other woman. Looking at Tang San's almost unharmed body, Yue Guan couldn't help but recall the scene when he killed Old Ghost.

"How... Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, those soldiers abandoned by your Holy Maiden have all been wiped out by my comrades. And you, another abandoned one, will also be killed by me. Go see your old partner, hahaha!!!"

"Pah... How could someone as selfish and self-centered as you understand why we're here?... But don't get too cocky, the outcome is still uncertain, and... with that Little Monster Yu Tianshuang around, you'll never achieve what you want!"
