Chapter 221: Two Title Douluos Unsure of Which to Choose!
Almost in the blink of an eye, Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier rushed to the vicinity of the wrecked Spirit Hall paladin, surrounded by fallen Spirit Hall knights.
They had barely regained their footing and hadn't even had time to assess the situation when a muffled thud followed.
A figure plummeted from the sky like a tattered sack, crashing heavily not far from Tang Chuan, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The man struggled to lift his head; it was none other than the Spirit Hall's Platinum Bishop Salas!
However, he was now in a sorry state, his magnificent bishop's robes badly torn, his face deathly pale, and blood gushing from his mouth—clearly suffering from severe internal injuries.
Not far away, beside the wrecked carriage, stood a hooded, unshaven middle-aged man with a powerful, mountain-like aura. In his hands stood Tang San, who had just been freed from his restraints, his face equally pale, but his eyes filled with excitement!
Tang Hao and Tang San were clearly caught off guard by Tang Chuan's sudden appearance, especially in this manner. The three of them stared at each other, frozen in place.
Just then, two figures, radiating intense killing intent, descended from the sky like meteors, landing heavily in the arena. One after the other, they surrounded Tang Hao, Tang San, Tang Chuan, Xiao Ruier, and the struggling Salas on the ground!
It was none other than the Demon Bear Douluo and the Ghost Leopard Douluo, who had been relentlessly pursuing them despite their injuries!
Upon seeing the arrival of these two, Salas, who had been on the verge of death, seemed to grasp at a straw. He struggled to his feet, pointing at Tang Hao and Tang San, and urgently shouted,
"Elders! You've come at the right time!"
"Quick! Don't let Tang Hao rescue Tang San!"
"He's someone His Holiness the Pope personally requested! He absolutely cannot be lost!"
Hearing this, Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes. They naturally knew the importance of Tang San and Tang Hao; otherwise, His Holiness the Pope and the Grand Elder wouldn't have deployed such a large force to capture them.
The two Title Douluos' gazes were first fixed on the mountain-like, steady Tang Hao, and Tang San, whom he was protecting behind him.
Then, their gazes involuntarily shifted to Tang Chuan not far away.
This blue-haired youth was also someone His Holiness the Pope and the Grand Elder had specifically requested!
At this moment, the two looked at each other, their brows furrowed tightly, clearly troubled.
The situation instantly became a thorny dilemma.
If they concentrated their forces on Tang Hao and Tang San, Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier, who were equally powerful and possessed the ability to fly, might seize the opportunity to escape, thus failing to fulfill the orders of His Holiness the Pope and the Grand Elder.
However, if they spared one of their strength to deal with Tang Chuan, or prioritize capturing Tang Chuan, then it would be virtually impossible for either of them to capture Tang San from Tang Hao's grasp or prevent him from taking Tang San away!
The orders of His Holiness the Pope and the Grand Elder would also fail.
The two Title Douluos were caught in a dilemma, unsure which side to attack first. The atmosphere in the arena became even more delicate and tense due to this sudden choice, like a powder keg about to explode.
...…
Meanwhile, in the area where the Shrek Academy carriages were parked…
Not far away, the violent explosion and faint commotion coming from the other side of the canyon struck Xiao Wu like a thunderclap!
The next second, she abruptly stood up from beside the carriage, her delicate face instantly drained of color, filled with panic and fear, and cried out,
"Oh no! Something's happened to Third Brother!"
She had an extraordinary sensitivity to Tang San's aura and safety; the direction of the explosion was precisely where the carriage carrying Tang San was located!
Intense worry and reckless impulse instantly overwhelmed Xiao Wu's reason.
"I...I have to go check!"
As soon as she finished speaking, without even having time to explain to Flander and the others beside her, her soul power suddenly erupted, and her petite figure shot off like an arrow, desperately rushing towards the direction of the explosion, which was Tang San's location!
"Xiao Wu! Come back! Danger!"
Liu Erlong's face immediately turned grim upon seeing this; she was both anxious and angry. Knowing full well that the area was undoubtedly a den of wolves and tigers, where even the aftershocks of a battle at the Title Douluo level could easily tear Xiao Wu apart!
She immediately turned to Flander beside her, whose expression was equally grave, and quickly instructed, "Flander! Protect the children!"
"I'll go with Xiao Wu to check! I'm really worried about her alone!"
With that, Liu Erlong's fiery soul power erupted, the phantom of her Crimson Dragon Martial Soul flashed by, and she sped off like a burning meteor towards the direction Xiao Wu had gone!
Xiao Wu had already recognized her as her godmother; she couldn't let Xiao Wu venture into danger alone. Even if it meant facing a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, she would protect this child she considered her own!
Hearing this, Flander watched the two figures disappear quickly into the rubble and dust, opened his mouth, and finally let out a heavy sigh. He then whispered to the other Shrek Academy students beside him, who were filled with fear and anxiety, "Stay near the carriage and don't move!"
At this moment, although the area where the Shrek Academy carriage was located was not the center of the battle, the attack by the Spirit Hall's men in black had still affected it.
Many corpses of men in black lay scattered around, and several wounded Royal Knights soldiers were groaning. Warm blood gushed from their wounds, pooling in small puddles in the low-lying areas of the ground, and a strong stench of blood filled the air.
Most people were still in shock, either watching the distant battle warily or tending to the wounded. No one noticed that Grandmaster, huddled inside the carriage, was in an extremely strange state.
His eyes, which had been dull and lifeless due to despair and anxiety, had now turned a terrifying blood red!
Grandmaster leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed intently on the pools of still-warm blood on the ground not far away.
His expression was no longer the usual pedantry or wisdom, but a twisted mixture of extreme desire, greed, and a primal bestiality; his lips even involuntarily twitched into a ravenous grin!
The thick stench of blood was frantically stimulating the instincts of his martial soul, corrupted and transformed by the Rakshasa God's power. The mutated, evil Luo Sanpao within him was silently roaring from the depths of his soul, madly craving the life-giving blood! Meanwhile, just as the Demon Bear Douluo and the Ghost Leopard Douluo were caught in a dilemma due to their conflicting objectives, a series of ear-piercing crackling sounds of electricity rang out from the cliffs on both sides of the canyon!
Immediately afterward, a large number of new men in black slowly emerged like ghosts, their numbers no less than those of the Spirit Hall's previous forces!
These people were surrounded by leaping blue-purple lightning, and a violent dragon's might mixed with thunderous energy emanated from them, immediately attracting the attention of everyone below.
