Chapter 220: Shifting the Blame East? We Die Together!
At this moment, above the canyon, behind a hidden boulder, stood a middle-aged man draped in a gray robe and wearing a wide hood that obscured most of his face. His stubble and somewhat haggard appearance gave him a weathered look. He was peering through a crack in the rock, intently watching everything unfolding in the canyon below.
This man was none other than Tang Hao, the current Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect!
When he saw the Crimson King effortlessly and instantly severely injure the two Title Douluos, Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear, his brows furrowed involuntarily, his expression shifting slightly before revealing a deep sense of confusion and bewilderment.
"What's going on?"
"Xiao Chuan...didn't he already defect to the Spirit Hall? But why would the Spirit Hall still try to kill him like this? They even mobilized four Title Douluos at once!"
The scene before him contradicted Tang Hao's previous judgment, instantly turning his mind into a jumbled mess. He couldn't figure out the reason at all.
Was his judgment wrong?
Or had something changed within the Spirit Hall?
Or perhaps this kid had some other secret that made the Spirit Hall willing to go to such lengths to eliminate him? Various guesses flashed through Tang Hao's mind, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation.
"Forget it! I don't want to think about it anymore!"
He shook his head violently, forcibly suppressing these chaotic thoughts. In his opinion, now was not the time to delve into this question.
Then, his deep, still gaze quickly turned to the rear of the group, to the special carriage guarded by Salas, which was transporting Tang San.
"It's perfect timing; everything's in chaos down there, everyone's attention's drawn to Tianxing Academy. I need to hurry and rescue Xiao San!"
Tang Hao's eyes hardened again as he muttered to himself.
In his eyes, this was a golden opportunity!
Without hesitation, Tang Hao's figure, shrouded in gray robes, swiftly disappeared into the shadows.
...…
Meanwhile, at the top of the cliff on the other side.
The group of masked men in black from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were also staring dumbfounded at the scene before them, their faces utterly bewildered.
They had watched helplessly as four renowned elders of the Spirit Hall were utterly crushed by that red-haired giant in just a few exchanges. The shock in their hearts was beyond measure!
"Vice…Vice Clan Leader, I never imagined that Tianxing Academy would hide such a monstrous Title Douluo?"
At this moment, one of the men in black spoke, his voice trembling with lingering fear.
Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with relief.
Fortunately, the vice-patriarch had remained calm and hadn't acted rashly; otherwise, there would likely be more than just members of the Spirit Hall lying there now.
Their numbers would be dwarfed by that red-haired giant.
Just then, a man in black approached the elder known as the vice-patriarch and whispered, "Vice...Vice-patriarch, what...what should we do next?"
Should they wait for an opportunity, or retreat immediately?
"Don't rush..."
Hearing this, the elder in black, known as the vice-patriarch, stared intently at the Crimson King below, who resembled a fiery demon god. His eyes were filled with apprehension and deep calculation. After a moment's thought, he said,
"I think, given the Spirit Hall's style and the importance they place on this operation, they definitely sent more than just these four people. They must have a backup plan!"
His words had barely faded when two sharp, piercing shrieks, seemingly capable of tearing apart souls, suddenly erupted from the high sky like two bolts of golden lightning!
"Whoosh—!"
"Whoosh—!"
The purity of the soul power and the vastness of the pressure contained in this whooshing sound far surpassed that of the previous Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo. Even the Crimson King below slightly raised his head, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
Immediately afterward, a deep, resonant voice and a clear, melodious voice rang out almost simultaneously, carrying an arrogant air of someone who had long held a superior position and looked down upon the world:
"I never expected that on this Douluo Continent, besides us old guys, there would be such a powerful Title Douluo hiding, even we brothers didn't know!"
"Today, let us meet you!" As soon as the words fell, two figures descended from the sky like two golden meteors, carrying unparalleled power and light, landing on the ground not far away!
The one on the left, holding a Panlong Staff, had a resolute face and an aura as solid as a mountain!
The one on the right, also holding a Panlong Staff, had sharp eyes and an aura as sharp as a blade!
These were the two enshrined figures of the Hall of Offerings, Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo!
They were brothers. Among the seven elders of the Spirit Empire, they ranked last, specifically the sixth and seventh elders.
However, this did not mean they were the weakest. Individually, they might not be considered particularly powerful, perhaps just ordinary level 96 Title Douluos. But if the two of them were together, even Qian Daoliu would find it difficult to defeat them.
In other words, if these two joined forces, their strength would be at least equivalent to a level 98 Title Douluo!
Their appearance instantly added another layer of uncertainty to the already tilted battle.
"This red-haired giant, we two brothers will hold him off!"
Qian Jun Douluo's gaze swept over the heavily injured Demon Bear Douluo and the Ghost Leopard Douluo, who had just struggled out of the cliff and was spitting blood. His voice was steady yet undeniable.
"You, quickly capture that blue-haired brat!"
"However, the Grand Elder ordered that he be alive!"
After saying this, Qian Jun Douluo and the Demon Subduing Douluo brothers flashed simultaneously, appearing in front of and behind the Crimson King like two golden lightning bolts!
Immediately afterward, their heavy dragon-coiled staffs, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound that seemed to tear through space, moved in perfect unison, attacking the Crimson King's vital points from above and below, left and right! Both Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo were over 120 years old.
As the saying goes, brothers united can break metal.
These two level 96 titled Douluos, having worked together for over a hundred years, possessed a level of tacit understanding that required no communication whatsoever. Their two dragon-coiled staffs flew up and down, forcing the Crimson King to retreat step by step without even using any soul skills.
The combined power of these two brothers was far more than just one plus one equals two!
Their exquisite combined attack instantly put immense pressure on the Crimson King. Entangled in the impenetrable shadows of their staffs, he was momentarily overwhelmed and unable to escape!
However, at the same moment Thousand-Pound Demon-Slaying Douluo entangled the Crimson King...
"Boom—!!!"
Not far away, in the direction where Tang San was being escorted, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted, accompanied by the shrill screams of the Spirit Hall's Holy Knights!
Clearly, something had happened there too!
Ghost Leopard Douluo, who had just rolled off the ground and was enduring excruciating pain, paled upon seeing this. He coughed up another mouthful of blood and urgently shouted to Demon Bear Douluo, who was also struggling to his feet:
"Quick! Attack together! Finish this kid off first! Then immediately go support Salas!"
They knew that if Tang San were rescued, their mission would be considered a failure!
Although Demon Bear Douluo was severely injured, the vitality of a Title Douluo was extremely tenacious. Hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he nodded heavily.
The next second, the two of them mustered their remaining soul power, and their figures flashed again.
Like two wounded but still ferocious beasts, one on the left and one on the right, filled with madness and killing intent, they simultaneously pounced on Tang Chuan, who was temporarily isolated!
Seeing the two Title Douluos, Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear, charging towards him like two blood-red hurricanes, their frenzied killing intent palpable, Tang Chuan's expression subtly changed.
His mind raced, instantly assessing the situation.
With his and Xiao Ruier's current strength, if they successfully unleashed their Spirit Fusion Technique, they might still have a fighting chance against a Soul Douluo-level expert.
But against two Title Douluos, even one already severely injured, the terrifying difference in strength was like an insurmountable chasm; they were likely powerless to turn the tide! A direct confrontation would likely only lead to death!
At this critical moment of life and death, a sudden inspiration struck Tang Chuan. His gaze, sharp as a hawk, swiftly shifted towards the direction from which explosions and screams were coming from not far away!
A plan to divert attention and stir up trouble instantly formed in his mind!
"Fine! Tang Hao! You want to save Tang San, right?!" A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips; Tang Chuan's face showed no fear, but rather a chilling resolve.
"If I'm not having a good time, neither will you! If we die, we die together!"
"I want to see if these two will just stand by and watch you rescue Tang San to kill me. If they attack you, then I'll..."
He stopped mid-sentence, no longer hesitating!
A blue-gold light suddenly erupted from his right foot, shining like a mini-sun!
That was the manifestation of his Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone's flight skill being pushed to its limit!
The next second, Tang Chuan grabbed Xiao Ruier, whose expression was equally grave, and the two figures, enveloped in blue-gold light, instantly transformed into a dazzling golden streak, their speed soaring to its limit. Ignoring the charging ghost leopard and demonic bear, they changed direction and, like arrows tearing through space, rapidly flew towards Tang San and Tang Hao's location!
He wanted to draw the deadly attacks of the two Title Douluos behind him directly to Tang Hao and Tang San!
Since Tang Hao wanted to take advantage of the chaos to save Tang San, let's see if he can succeed under the furious pursuit of the two Title Douluos!
In Tang Chuan's view, only by completely muddying the waters can he find a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation! This move can only be described as ruthless and decisive!
Seeing this, Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear Douluo froze, their figures stiffening as they watched the golden streak heading straight for Tang San. Their expressions turned extremely ugly!
How could they not know Tang Chuan's intentions?
But the Grand Elder's orders were for him to live, and Salas had obviously encountered a powerful enemy, possibly Tang Hao. But no one had said Tang San's life was forgivable! "Damn it, chase!"
With a low shout, the two exchanged a glance, both seeing the rage in each other's eyes.
