Douluo Dalu: Starting With Tom Cat
Chapter 301: Xiao Wu’s Sacrifice, the Desperate Da Ming
CHAPTER 301: CHAPTER 301: XIAO WU’S SACRIFICE, THE DESPERATE DA MING
Looking at Shen An and Qian Renxue’s tightly clasped hands, Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes seemed to have lost their life, empty and cold.
Ning Rongrong’s eyes, on the other hand, were practically about to spit fire. She wished she could go up there herself and tear that little blonde bitch apart by hand.
Tom and Jerry’s eyes were sparkling brightly. The melon-eating crowd doesn’t think a big incident is a big deal.
’Fight, fight!’ The two little ones were exceptionally expectant in their hearts.
Seeing that Shen An and the others seemed to completely disregard him, the anger in Tang San’s chest was about to explode.
"You all don’t seem to understand the current situation. You still dare to stare at each other here? Today, you will all die!"
Tang San said angrily, the seventh soul ring on his body suddenly shining brightly.
His entire person became incomparably strange. The surface of his skin had both the clear blue luster of a Blue Silver Emperor and also one after another of blood-colored patterns.
The eight ferocious spider lances behind his back unfolded. The Blue Silver Domain was activated at the same time.
In an instant, everything within a diameter of eighty meters became a blood-blue color. One after another, blood-colored light threads filled this blue world.
Countless vines grew crazily, and the branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Grass extended rapidly. In just the blink of an eye, they had surrounded the two girls.
Tang San’s face was ferocious and filled with pleasure. Since Shen An had come, there was no need to specially spare the lives of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. Kill the squishies first, then fight Shen An later.
He was very confident. The seventh soul ring brought by the Blue Silver King, soul power as high as level eighty, and the bonus brought to the Blue Silver Domain by the Star Dou Great Forest—taking down Shen An and the others was as easy as reaching into his pocket.
This one move, its might made even Gu Rong, who was locked in battle with the Sky Azure Bull Python in the sky, slightly moved. Its power was no weaker than a level ninety-one Titled Douluo.
He wanted to flash down to help Shen An and the others, but was whipped away by the Sky Azure Bull Python’s tail. The pressure brought by a hundred-thousand-year soul beast was unimaginable. He could only be exhausted from dodging.
At this time, Gu Rong was extremely anxious. He knew that Shen An had the combat power of a Soul Douluo, but this Tang San’s combat power had clearly touched the threshold of a Titled Douluo.
Now he could only hope that the palace-dressed woman beside Shen An was also an expert, able to join forces to force back Tang San.
Seeing Tang San make a move, a sharp light shot out from Shen An’s eyes, and at the same time, his heart was filled with wild joy.
This Tang San had really made a good move. This one move, Blue Silver Binding, had just happened to break the shura field that was on the verge of forming.
At the same time, his sword qi condensed. Under Tang San’s incredulous gaze, his sky-full of Blue Silver Grass was all turned to powder.
What made his eyes almost split from anger was that Shen An hadn’t even revealed a soul ring. The martial soul was still under his feet. It was as if this endless sword qi was just a casual move.
"How is this possible? I am already a level eighty Soul Sage, a peerless genius who is only one soul ring away from Soul Douluo!" he roared unwillingly.
Xiao Wu also panicked. This Shen An’s combat power was too terrifying. She clearly remembered that the first time she had met Shen An, at most, she had sensed a trace of danger from him.
But now seeing him again, the gap between them was like heaven and earth.
Shen An pouted, then waved his hand. Countless sword qis slashed towards Tang San one after another.
Tang San pushed his Martial Soul True Body and the Blue Silver Domain to their limits. The blood-colored light threads extracted the life of all plants and animals, but the Blue Silver Grass, which he had thought was incomparably powerful, was still retreating step by step.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also took the opportunity to get a hundred meters away, far from the battlefield.
They were geniuses, that was true, but a battlefield of this level was simply not something they could interfere in.
Despair was in Xiao Wu’s heart. She tightly gripped Tang San’s arm and couldn’t help but shout, "Da Ming, save me!"
Da Ming, who had the upper hand in the sky, disregarded Gu Rong and directly flew down. His dozens-of-meters-long body coiled around Tang San and Xiao Wu.
The sharp sword qi shattered his hard scales, and fresh blood splattered.
Da Ming felt a slight pain. One after another, circles of azure halos rippled out, breaking through the peerless sword qi.
Shen An also felt an immense pressure from this Sky Azure Bull Python. This pressure was far greater than that of the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos.
At this moment, Gu Rong broke through space and stood side by side with Shen An, quietly transmitting his voice, "Shen An, this Sky Azure Bull Python is not easy to deal with. Let’s hold it off for a while first. Let Zhuqing and the others run away first. When I get back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I’ll call that old scoundrel over, and we’ll deal with him together."
Gu Rong had never been one to be obsessed with face or to be rigid. "Most mysterious" not only described his ability but was also a reflection of his character.
Shen An’s combat power made him pleasantly surprised. It was definitely above that of a Titled Douluo. It would be absolutely no problem for the two of them to join forces to hold off the Sky Azure Bull Python.
Once the two girls were gone, they would have no more restraints. Even if they couldn’t win, they could always easily get away.
Shen An, however, was a little eager to try. "Senior Gu, there’s no need to run. I think today we can try to keep this Sky Azure Bull Python here."
He knew that the Sky Azure Bull Python’s combat power was very strong, but he now had abundant fame points, his mana bar was quite long, and he had Gu Rong at his side. It might not be impossible to kill it.
Gu Rong looked at Shen An with a shocked face. Had he misheard, or had Shen An gone mad? The combat power of this Sky Azure Bull Python could definitely be compared to a level ninety-seven Titled Douluo.
Just the two of them, how to fight? With what?!
Tom also drilled out at this time and even stuck out his tongue at Da Ming in a provocative manner, expressing his support for Shen An.
When enemies meet, their eyes are exceptionally red. The moment Da Ming saw this culprit who had killed Er Ming, his huge pupils immediately became blazing. "I want you to die! I will tear you to pieces!"
Countless fine azure thunderbolts gradually took shape around Da Ming. The destructive energy contained within them made even Gu Rong’s scalp go numb.
When he had faced the Sky Azure Bull Python before, he had also just continuously dodged. If they really fought, he was quite afraid.
Just as he was preparing to do some more ideological work on Shen An, he saw him ignore the sky-full of thunder and turn to say to the palace-dressed woman...
"Xue’er, why don’t you let go first? You’re holding my hand all the time. I can’t display my full strength."
Qian Renxue, however, had no intention of letting go at all. A blush dyed her beautiful face. "No, unless you say two words."
Gu Rong was baffled. His heart was in a panic. A great enemy is before us. What are you two doing!
Da Ming’s attack had already arrived. The old man, seeing Shen An and Qian Renxue still dawdling, gritted his teeth and directly took it on.
"Shen An, stop dawdling! Hurry up and help!" Gu Rong, who had been whipped to the ground by a tail, roared.
Shen An also gritted his teeth. Of course, he knew what Qian Renxue wanted him to say. It was nothing more than the two words ’baby.’
It was fine when they were in private. But this time, with Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong present, if he shouted those two words, he was afraid he was tired of living.
As for forcefully breaking free, of course he could. But it would surely injure Qian Renxue.
Seeing Gu Rong being beaten until he was routed, Shen An quickly said, "Baby, let go first."
These words naturally also entered the ears of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong on the ground.
Zhu Zhuqing was more reserved, so there was no great change in her appearance. It was just that the aura on her body had become several degrees colder.
Ning Rongrong immediately had a气抖冷 (qìdǒulěng - shivering from anger). So intimate! They’re already calling each other Xue’er! She turned to Zhu Zhuqing and said dangerously, "Zhuqing, after this, let’s go and tear this little bitch apart."
Qian Renxue glanced at Ning Rongrong with disdain. This little cabbage chicken. Even if two of them came at her, she could do it without using her hands.
However, she did not act up, but said to Shen An with a shy look in her beautiful eyes, "Alright then. You be careful. Remember to call me when you feel there’s danger."
Then she grabbed Tom and Jerry and leaped down, arriving beside Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and said, "Who on earth are you? How do you know Shen An? What is your relationship!"
Qian Renxue covered her mouth and laughed. "I am standing right in front of you. How much do I look like my old self?"
Ning Rongrong...
The veins on her brow bulged. Just as she was about to go up and deliver a set of mighty turtle punches, she was stopped by Tom and Jerry, who were hugging her legs.
A supplement!
You will die!
Zhu Zhuqing also timely advised, "Rongrong, a great enemy is before us. Calm down first."
Only then did Ning Rongrong reluctantly stop.
At the same time, Shen An had already unfolded his Sword Domain. His six great soul rings all flashed with light. His entire combat power and aura climbed to their limit, like a peerless divine sword that had been unsheathed.
The Sky Azure Bull Python also roared up to the sky, meeting Shen An and Gu Rong.
Compared to Gu Rong, who was breaking through space to dodge attacks, Shen An directly ignored the Slowdown Domain, transformed into a sword light, and continuously dodged attacks, from time to time slashing out with a sword qi that even the Sky Azure Bull Python could not ignore.
For a time, the battle was actually at a stalemate. The Sky Azure Bull Python could only passively take a beating, its old wounds gaining new ones.
Tang San’s face was gloomy, the jealousy in his eyes almost condensing into a solid entity.
To obtain this level of cultivation, he had not hesitated to go to a dark and evil place like the Slaughter City. Yet the gap between him and Shen An was actually getting larger and larger.
Although it was Shen An and Gu Rong fighting Da Ming together, it was not difficult to see that Shen An was the main attacker.
’On what basis! On what basis can he be on par with Da Ming!’ he roared in his heart.
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with a nervous face. "Brother, will something happen to Da Ming? Quick, think of a way. He is in a difficult situation because of us."
Tang San gently stroked Xiao Wu’s hand, an evil smile on his face. "Don’t worry. I have my ways."
He exerted force in his arm, and a rain of hidden weapons shot towards Zhu Zhuqing and the others. At the same time, his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was displayed to its fullest. He was going to capture the two girls, Zhu Zhuqing, to threaten Shen An.
Zhu Zhuqing’s face was grave. A thick, heavy yellow light condensed on her arm, knocking away the countless hidden weapons as she went straight for Tang San.
It was just that Tang San, who was using his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track at full strength, was simply not someone she could hit. The speed had become ghostly.
A coldness was in Zhu Zhuqing’s heart. Soul power flowed like a turbulent wave in her body. She prepared for a hard fight with him.
She would absolutely not become a flaw for Shen An. If she was really captured by him, she would rather kill herself.
Qian Renxue suddenly sighed. She had been prepared to watch from the sidelines. But if she really did nothing, then she really couldn’t face Shen An.
’If I let Zhu Zhuqing be killed or captured, you would hate me to death, right?’ she mocked herself in her heart. She had clearly regarded Zhu Zhuqing as her greatest rival, yet she had to make a move for her.
"Tang San, the matter of your father killing my father should be settled. Tang Hao is already dead. Then let the two of us settle it," her voice was majestic and vast.
A six-winged angel phantom appeared behind her. An Angelic Holy Sword accurately landed in front of Tang San, blocking his path.
Tang San looked at the divine sword flowing with a golden flame before him in shock. He sensed a fatal threat from it.
Soon, his expression suddenly solidified. It wasn’t a fatal threat. It was really going to be fatal!
This woman was actually a Soul Douluo!!!
And the soul ring configuration on her body was as ridiculous as Shen An’s.
Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red!
Ning Rongrong silently swallowed her saliva. She was suddenly very glad she had been stopped just now.
At this time, Tang San no longer had time to be jealous. His mind was full of one thought: run!
Run run run!
If I don’t run, I will die!
The Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track movement technique had now broken its limit. He grabbed the still-dazed Xiao Wu and left.
As for whether something would happen to Da Ming, that was no longer within his consideration. They were not related. Naturally, when disaster struck, they would fly their separate ways.
Tom and Jerry had at some unknown time ambushed them on their escape route. Whistling, they pulled a rope. And then, the esteemed Soul Sage Tang San was tripped by a body!!!
Tang San, who was speeding along, together with Xiao Wu, fell flat on their faces.
Qian Renxue was not in a hurry to take Tang San’s life. She was proud. Facing a Soul Sage who was one rank lower than herself, she had the leisurely mood of a cat catching a mouse.
And at this time, Da Ming, because he was worried about Sister Xiao Wu’s safety, his mind was distracted and was found an opportunity by Shen An and Gu Rong to be hit hard in his vital points.
Da Ming was not a fool. Having run rampant in the Star Dou Great Forest for many years, his combat awareness naturally went without saying.
He knew very well that if he didn’t run now and continued to be delayed like this, then his beast life would probably end here.
But could he really run? He glanced at the place where Tang San and Xiao Wu had fled.
He didn’t care about Tang San’s safety, but no matter what, he couldn’t abandon his Sister Xiao Wu and flee.
Da Ming once again let out a heaven-shaking roar, and charged towards Shen An. A fight to the death!
Tang San spat out the mud in his mouth with a look of bad luck and panic. He suddenly discovered that there was a patch of Blue Silver Grass in front of him. A glimmer of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"Right, I still have the Blue Silver Domain! It can let me merge with the Blue Silver Grass!"
Disregarding his shabby state, he used the skill of his Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone to fly close to the ground. He immediately took Xiao Wu and drilled into the thicket of grass. In the dense forest, Qian Renxue actually couldn’t sense him for a moment.
Qian Renxue’s face was ugly. If she really let Tang San run away, where would she, the inheritor of the Seraphim, put her face?
At this time, Jerry snapped its fingers, making a "tsuo tsuo tsuo" sound from its mouth. Then it used both hands to play with Tom’s cat face, forcefully pinching it into a dog’s head.
"Woof woof woof woof," Tom, on all fours, barked like a dog and directly chased in one direction.
Qian Renxue...
Alright, alright. You can even play like this.
At this time, she did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately chased in Tom’s direction.
At this time, Da Ming’s body was already somewhat unable to bear it. He suddenly stopped condensing attacks and launching offensives, but instead said with a pleading tone, "Shen An, I and Er Ming shouldn’t have provoked you. We are willing to admit punishment for our actions. I can perform a self-sacrifice, as long as you can spare Sister Xiao Wu. That Tang San, you can deal with him as you please. Is that okay?"
Gu Rong was stunned, looking at Shen An with a scorching gaze, wishing he could agree for him.
The benefits brought by a soul beast voluntarily sacrificing itself were unimaginable. As long as Shen An agreed, his future would surely be a smooth path.
Shen An just quietly looked at Da Ming. He himself didn’t need it, but he could give it to Zhu Zhuqing or Ning Rongrong.
He could completely deceive Da Ming first, and then quickly go and kill Tang San and Xiao Wu. No matter how you looked at it, it was a business that would not lose money.
"No, I refuse!"
"From the first time you and the Titan Giant Ape attacked me, you should have been prepared to be killed by me. Including the Xiao Wu who commanded you, it’s the same. Not a single one of them will run away."
Shen An said in a cold voice.
A human-like look of sorrow appeared on Da Ming’s face. He was very regretful, extremely regretful. But regret was useless. What had happened had happened.
He had proposed it just now, just to seek a hope, a possibility. It was just his hundred-thousand-year-long feeling for Xiao Wu.
But Shen An didn’t even give him a single hope!
Da Ming said no more, his eyes filled with a look of despair. He regretted not listening to Tang San’s words!
Immediately, he rushed forward even more crazily. He had to drag Shen An and Gu Rong down as much as possible. Otherwise, there would be no hope for Xiao Wu’s side to escape.
On the other side, Qian Renxue unfolded her six wings and flew rapidly in the air. Under Tom’s dog nose, she soon found Tang San.
This time, she did not have the slightest carelessness. The Angelic Holy Sword in her hand swung, slashing out a sheet of golden light.
Tang San’s face was ferocious. While forcefully throwing Xiao Wu out, he himself met the blow.
Boom!
Qian Renxue, whose cultivation had reached over eighty levels, and who held the divine weapon, the Angelic Holy Sword, how could Tang San possibly block her?
With just one sword, his surrounding Blue Silver Emperor was completely turned to dust, and countless cracks appeared on his Blue Silver True Body.
Qian Renxue did not hold back in the slightest and continued to slash out with her sword!
Boom!!!
This sword was blocked by Tang San with the Eight Spider Lances that had absorbed countless people. The price was that all eight spider lances were cracked, and then turned into countless blue-gold fragments that scattered and flew!
"Ah!!!" A shrill scream came from Xiao Wu’s mouth. Tears flowed from her eyes.
Tang San at this moment was covered in blood, incomparably ferocious. He looked at Qian Renxue with a venomous gaze. "If not for my Clear Sky Hammer being lost, with just your Angel martial soul, I would f*cking smash you casually!"
Qian Renxue’s face was mocking. You can really brag. Immediately, the Angelic Holy Sword once again carried a scorching golden light and slashed towards Tang San, preparing to end his life.
"Ah!!!"
Xiao Wu’s two eyes were a sheet of blood-red. She let out a miserable, mournful cry and actually transformed into a circle of a red halo that instantly spread throughout the entire field. Everything was rendered a blood-red color, and everything also came to a standstill.
Even Qian Renxue’s golden sword light stagnated in mid-air.
The only one who could move was Xiao Wu. And she had already completely turned a crystal-clear dark red. The clothes on her body had turned to ash and disappeared.
But Qian Renxue, as the inheritor of a god, although her body could not move, her consciousness could still flow.
She understood that this was the magnetic field that could be produced by a hundred-thousand-year soul beast’s sacrifice.
At this time, her heart was in chaos. Facing a Soul Sage, she had failed one after another. This made her incomparably angry!
What was strange was that Tang San’s consciousness could also move. Perhaps it was related to his cultivation, perhaps his spiritual power was outstanding, or perhaps it was a more mysterious reason.
He remembered what his father had said about his mother’s sacrifice.
At this time, his heart was both sad, yet also had a kind of inexplicable joy.
A hundred-thousand-year soul ring! The number one supreme treasure in the soul master world was also a gift from his lover.
Xiao Wu transformed into a blood flame and came to Tang San’s side, preparing to sacrifice herself to complete her lover.
Tang San was prepared to accept this great gift with tears in his eyes, and silently swore in his heart that in the future, he would surely revive his lover.
The blood flame silently transformed into a red ring, and was about to surround Tang San and fuse.
"Woof!"
An unexpected sound came out. Tom, who was acting like a dog, stretched out his dog paw... oh no, his cat paw, and took the red ring and played with it in his hand.
At the same time, he looked at Xiao Wu with disgust, as if to say, not wearing clothes, shame on you.
Tang San, on the other hand, watched this scene with wide eyes, his heart filled with endless rage.
’Give it back! That’s my hundred-thousand-year soul ring!!!’ he roared madly in his heart!!!
