Tang San Is Dead
The enormous ice sphere, a thousand meters in diameter, was only three or four hundred meters away from them. Faced with this suddenly appearing giant ice sphere, not only the people of the two empires' allied forces, but even the people of the Spirit Hall Empire felt a chill.
"This temperature is making me shiver even from this distance, I can't imagine how hot it must be inside..."
After escorting Ye Lingling to the rear of Ning Rongrong's group, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the huge ice ball not far away and sighed helplessly.
"Sister Bing'er... she's become so strong... and Tianshuang has become so much stronger too... He held... held Qian Renxue and calmly repelled Tang Xiao, who had almost cornered Teacher and Huo Wu. The gap between us and them... has widened even further..."
Ye Lingling's words silenced everyone around her, especially Zhu Zhuqing. As one of the earliest members of the Skywater Academy to join Yu Tianshuang, she had been working tirelessly to cultivate for many years, but the gap between them seemed to have widened rather than narrowed. A sense of desolation instantly overwhelmed her.
"You girls are just too strong-willed. Why think so much? Do you think that brat would dare abandon you if you weren't strong enough? I, Grandpa Bone, won't allow that, right, Elder Sword?"
Indeed, the overwhelming power displayed by Yu Tianshuang and Shui Bing'er after their arrival left them feeling somewhat powerless. Leaving aside these young people, even they themselves could only sigh and think, "New talents emerge in every generation..."
"I've watched you all grow up, so don't worry. Don't you know your grandson? More than strength, your loyalty and sense of duty are the reasons you've followed him all these years..."
Like a sudden awakening, Sword Douluo's words shattered the girls' dejected mood instantly. Indeed... compared to him as a person, his strength was his least important advantage...
"Bibi Dong... go and rest for a while, leave this to me..."
"Hmph... you brat, you really have no manners. You should call me 'Your Majesty' or 'Your Majesty the Empress,' not by my first name. It's so rude..."
Bibi Dong looked at Yu Tianshuang's tall and straight back, pointing her sword at the Clear Sky Sect members opposite her. For some reason, she felt particularly happy. Moreover, the sense of security she felt standing behind him made her feel so at ease and comfortable. But even though that's what she thought, she still reprimanded him.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty. You should go and rest. I can handle things here. Go now, go now..."
Helpless, Yu Tianshuang Bibi Dong listened to his words, which sounded like he was coaxing a child. Although she wanted to say something more, the sense of satisfaction made her smile. She snorted, deactivated her Martial Soul Avatar state, and turned to leave.
Currently, the only high-end combatants remaining in the arena are the seven elders of the Clear Sky Sect and Sect Master Tang Xiao. As for Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and the others, to be honest, Yu Tianshuang didn't even count them as high-end combatants, even though they were currently emanating black energy and exuding the aura of Titled Douluo.
"Boss Dai, what do we do now?"
Ma Hongjun and the others flew to the Clear Sky Sect's side. Looking at Yu Tianshuang on the other side, the fear in their hearts made their minds go blank, and they couldn't muster any fighting spirit at all. They could only ask Dai Mubai for help.
"I don't know either. He was practically joking around, flirting with girls, and yet he defeated Sect Master Tang Xiao. Let's wait and see what's going on with Xiaosan..."
Dai Mubai didn't know what to do either. He just hoped that Tang San inside the ice hockey puck would come out so that he could fight Yu Tianshuang. He had long since lost his courage and had no desire to fight at all.
"Third Brother... I feel terrible... Even though I've been resurrected, the bond between my soul and Third Brother still exists, but for some reason, I feel incredibly sad, as if I've lost something extremely important... I'm uneasy... I'm afraid..."
Xiao Wu's words caused the faces of those around her to turn pale, especially Dai Mubai and the others. They knew of the deep, soul-deep bond between Xiao Wu and Tang San. Now that Xiao Wu had said this, didn't it mean that Tang San might be in grave danger?
"Impossible... Tang San is the most outstanding disciple in the history of our Clear Sky Sect. Even our Tang Chen was not as outstanding as him at his age. Moreover, he is the inheritor of the Sea God. How could he be killed by a woman? Besides, there's still Brother Hao. Even the former Pope Qian Xunji couldn't withstand his Great Sumeru Hammer. Don't worry..."
Tang Xiao was actually quite uneasy. Although he didn't feel the same way Xiao Wu described, the connection between brothers still made him feel uneasy. But with powerful enemies all around, he could only offer words of comfort.
"Alright... enough of this small talk. To be honest, I'm a bit surprised to see people from the Clear Sky Sect here. I never expected that the Clear Sky Sect, which always prides itself on justice, would cooperate with the Holy Spirit Cult. But thinking about your ancestor Tang Chen, and this Tang San now, I'm not so surprised. Hehe..."
Yu Tianshuang told Huo Wu to take Shui Xinrou back to rest as well, but she hovered in the air alone, watching them whispering to each other, and said somewhat impatiently.
"Hmph, you brat, you certainly have a sharp tongue. Do I, the Clear Sky Sect, need to explain my actions to you? Your Spirit Hall Empire intends to dominate the entire continent, causing countless innocent people to be displaced. Our departure to fight against you is also to restore peace to the world. As for cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult, that's just..."
As the Blazing Sun Douluo who had once fought against Yu Tianshuang, he couldn't sit still upon hearing this. How dare they insult their Clear Sky Sect! However, before he could finish his sophistry, the conspicuous giant ice ball in the distance suddenly began to crack, which immediately brought joy to their faces.
But their happy expressions didn't last long. After the giant ice ball completely disappeared, only a tall woman appeared in the sky. While their eyes were still searching, the stunningly beautiful woman appeared beside Yu Tianshuang in the blink of an eye. The coldness in her eyes made them dare not meet her gaze.
"Wow, amazing, senior sister! You solved it so quickly..."
To be honest, even Yu Tianshuang didn't know how strong Shui Bing'er was now. Even though Shui Yue'er couldn't fully control the strength of a level 99 Limit Douluo, she still had the power of ice from the entire Far North to command. Yet, Shui Bing'er still defeated her and completed the Eighth Trial. If Yu Tianshuang hadn't arrived in time, Shui Bing'er would probably have become the first person on the Douluo Continent to become a god.
"Hmph, I don't see anything in your words that should make me happy. What's so great about dealing with two exhausted ants..."
Shui Bing'er snorted lightly, speaking disdainfully. Her indifferent expression, icy tone, and the look of utter contempt in her deep blue eyes made Yu Tianshuang want to be trampled on...
"Shui... Shui Bing'er... Third Brother... what happened to him?"
Xiao Wu almost trembled as she finished speaking, but she knew in her heart that with Shui Bing'er here, there was only one outcome for her Third Brother. However, she was still unwilling to give up, and looked at Shui Bing'er with a slightly pleading look in her lovely and lively pink eyes and asked.
"Are you out of your mind? Do you even need to ask? I'm standing right in front of you, what can Tang San do? Of course he's dead. Go look underground over there, you might still find some of him, but you have to hurry, the ice block without my Soul Power will melt quickly, and if it gets eaten by wild beasts, that'll be troublesome..."
Shui Bing'er's words were like a bolt from the blue. Even though Xiao Wu already had a vague idea of the outcome, hearing them from her mouth still made her clutch her chest in pain. The suffocating heartache was unbearable, and she fainted as soon as her eyes rolled back.
"Oh dear... Senior sister, why were you so direct? You made that little rabbit faint, haha... But I love your mischievous nature, hehe..."
