After Ye Qiu used his divine power to leave,
not long after, Tai Long,
lying on the ground
with an arm broken by the Clear Sky Hammer and an arrow piercing his heart, coughed up blood.
"Cough cough."
Tai Long slowly regained consciousness, his whole body wracked with pain.
When Ye Qiu struck, he deliberately deviated from his heart, so that Tai Long would return and cause trouble for Tang San.
"Dad!"
Tai Long looked at Tai Nuo lying beside him
, no longer breathing, and let out a mournful cry, tears streaming down his face.
"Tang San! Why!"
"Why did you kill us? Because I sent the wrong message last time!"
Tai Long pulled the arrow from his chest and held it in his hand.
Looking at the marks from the Blue Silver Grass on his father's body, the bruises from the Clear Sky Hammer, and the darts and arrows embedded in his body,
his heart was filled with boundless hatred.
Tears washed away the blood on his face, blurring his vision. He knelt on the ground and gently closed Tai Nuo's eyes.
He carried Tai Nuo on his back with one arm.
"Dad, your son is taking you home. Let Grandpa avenge you!"
...
In the distance, in the air.
'Tang San' and Bone Douluo stood in mid-air.
Watching Tailong carrying Taino's corpse, limping back towards Heaven Dou City,
Bone Douluo couldn't help but sigh.
"You really acted swiftly, kid. That was a level 58 Soul King, and he died just like that."
Tang San, disguised as Ye Qiu,
shook his head slightly:
"I just launched a surprise attack, and Taino was loyal enough not to go all out."
"Hey, kid, don't be so modest. Tell me honestly, how's your combat power now?"
Bone Douluo asked, while also opening a spatial portal.
"Well, below Soul Saint level, I should be invincible. As for Soul Saints and above, to be honest, I can only catch them off guard. If they are prepared for my Soul Skills, then I can only temporarily avoid their attacks, or drag them into a protracted battle, or at worst, run away."
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment, giving a fairly objective assessment of his combat strength.
"You're really modest, kid. Your Martial Soul True Body is pretty good now. Against some low-level Soul Saints, you can probably end the battle quickly, right?"
Bone Douluo glanced at Ye Qiu, the spatial portal in front of him already formed.
"Maybe."
Ye Qiu didn't deny Bone Douluo's words.
His Martial Soul True Body was just a bare upper body skeleton.
Facing low-level Soul Saints with poor Soul Ring configurations, low-quality Martial Souls, and those with a counter-relationship,
a head-on collision was naturally no problem.
But his consumption would also be huge, after all, his Sharingan was limited by the Soul Master system.
It can only be said that there are many determining factors in battles between Soul Masters, and it's really hard to say without actually fighting.
After a moment of thought.
Ye Qiu flew into the teleportation portal.
Bone Douluo followed closely behind, asking Ye Qiu's retreating figure,
"By the way, will he cause a scene after he goes back?"
"He will,"
Ye Qiu replied affirmatively.
To avoid revealing too much, Ye Qiu once again used Martial Sun Illumination to edit Tai Long's memories.
Unlike the previous fabricated memories,
Ye Qiu only found his appearance when he last met Tang San at the Avalanche Mansion from his memories.
He also made some minor adjustments to his own image, making his portrayal of 'Tang San' closer to the Tang San that Tai Long and Titan were familiar with.
In addition,
Ye Qiu also learned about Tang San's current situation.
He didn't expect that Tang San had only woken up yesterday and had even taken Evil Blood Douluo as his adoptive father?
He really knows how to play games!
...
Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The round trip took less than half an hour.
"Ye Qiu, are you alright!"

As soon as Ye Qiu returned, Ning Rongrong quickly came to greet him.
Bai Chenxiang, who was a step behind, stood behind Ning Rongrong somewhat embarrassedly, her eyes showing concern.
"I'm fine, I'll handle it later."
Ye Qiu pinched Ning Rongrong's cheek and smiled slightly at Bai Chenxiang behind her.
"Haha, Rongrong, he kills a Soul King like cutting melons and vegetables, there's no need to worry about him at all."
Bone Douluo laughed
heartily. He was actually looking forward to Ye Qiu challenging him.
"Then let's head to Gengjin City now, we can talk about anything on the way."
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ye Qiu, becoming more and more satisfied.
"Okay, let's set off now."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly and took Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang's hands.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Dugu Bo also stood up.
This time the distance was a bit far.
The target was in the opposite direction from the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, and even with Bone Douluo, they couldn't reach it in one step.
Therefore,
Ye Qiu had already used the Heavenly Harvest Sun Destiny to store the outer divine power in the eyes of the white crane.
He would go ahead to Gengjin City to light up the spatial coordinates for Ye Qiu
and find a place to stay there first.
"Grandpa Bone, then I'll trouble you to watch the house all by yourself!"
Ning Rongrong, holding Ye Qiu's hand, excitedly called out to Bone Douluo.
Bone Douluo smiled wryly and nodded slightly.
If he had known Ning Rongrong was also going, he would have insisted on competing with the Sword Master to snatch this opportunity to go out.
As Ning Rongrong finished speaking,
Ye Qiu and the others had already disappeared from Bone Douluo's sight.
...
Gengxin City is one of the main cities of the Star Luo Empire.
It has the most blacksmith shops.
Only in this city are blacksmiths valued.
It is said that there are thousands of blacksmith shops in the entire Gengxin City, and
tens of thousands of blacksmiths.
It can be said to be a gathering place for blacksmiths from all over the world, and there is also a Blacksmith Association.
Many blacksmiths from other cities come here specifically to participate in the Blacksmith Association's blacksmith assessment.
If they can pass the advanced blacksmith assessment, they can stay in this city.
In short...
This is a blacksmith's paradise.
But even so,
Gengjin City is by no means a famous city; within the main city territory, it's only mid-to-lower tier.
The reason is simple:
Douluo Continent is a world of Soul Masters.
As a metal city, it's somewhat of an anomaly, and its lack of importance is understandable.
Blacksmiths' status is similar to that of ordinary people.
The Blacksmiths' Association's influence is limited to this city.
The Spirit Hall is essentially a Soul Master Association;
it can influence the entire continent's situation.
This shows how vast the gap is between blacksmiths and Soul Masters.
Of course
, the Blacksmiths' Association does have some strength,
but they're not particularly skilled in combat.
After all, the better the blacksmith, the more likely they are to be a Soul Master, and the stronger they become.
Only a Soul Master's extraordinary abilities can make forging faster and more precise.
However, this isn't absolute.
There are also some exceptional blacksmithing geniuses who, without the aid of a Spirit Master, still achieve great success in the blacksmithing world.
