Chapter 336: Tang San's Sudden Strike
The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python looked at Xiao Wu and Tang San embracing each other, not knowing exactly what had happened, but in their giant eyes, there was a trace of melancholy.
No matter what, Xiao Wu was a soul beast and was the elder sister of the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python. Even though these two soul beasts admired Xiao Wu, she only saw them as family and never harbored any romantic feelings for them. Therefore, they gradually gave up on any romantic aspirations and could only regard Xiao Wu as a sister.
Tang San gently placed Xiao Wu on the ground before slowly walking towards the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python, a fierce look in his eyes.
"Senior Da Ming, Senior Er Ming, Tang San has no choice but to ask for your help. This way, I can ensure Xiao Wu's safety."
The Sky Blue Bull Python showed a hint of confusion. "Tang San, since you are Xiao Wu's friend, we also consider you our friend. If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Tang San's mouth twisted coldly. "You should both know that Bibi Dong is still missing two soul rings. She is eyeing both of you, and now that Qian Renxue has ascended to godhood, she has a deep blood feud with Xiao Wu, me, and will not let us go. She won't let you two go either."
The Sky Blue Bull Python said, "So what? This Star Dou Forest is our territory. We are more familiar with this place than they are. If it really comes to a dangerous moment, even if Er Ming and I hide in the Lake of Life, we won't be threatened by them."
"The last time we were heavily injured, it was because we were surrounded by too many of them. If we had been prepared, the result would not have been so tragic."
Tang San shook his head. "Senior Da Ming, you misunderstand me. If we continue to be in a passive defensive state, sooner or later, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong will kill us. Then it will only benefit Bibi Dong. If she gets your soul rings and soul bones, it will be truly irreparable."
The Sky Blue Bull Python's expression changed slightly. "Tang San, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to take the initiative against that woman?"
Tang San said, "Why not? The world respects strength. As long as I can become a god, I have absolute confidence I can defeat Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong. At that time, everything will be nipped in the bud, and Xiao Wu will be absolutely safe."
The Sky Blue Bull Python showed a hint of doubt. "Tang San, I know you have lofty ambitions, but strength doesn't grow that easily. You're only level 97 now, one level lower than Bibi Dong and much farther from Qian Renxue."
"Training can't be rushed, or you'll fall into an evil path. Like our soul beast race, many soul beasts grew stronger through evil means. They may succeed in the short term, but when they try to break through their limits, all their enhancements become their shackles."
Tang San's expression darkened. "But I can't wait any longer. Qian Renxue won't give me much time. Even if Di Tian can protect me, I don't want to live under someone else's protection forever. I must prove myself."
"Moreover, the road of soul masters is so difficult. I'm only level 97. Even if I train for a hundred years, I might not reach level 99. No one knows what problems will arise during this time. Xiao Wu might get hurt. The Haotian Sect might face destruction. I can't afford to take the gamble."
The Sky Blue Bull Python shook his head. "Tang San, you're confused. You've fallen into delusion. I know you want us to help you find a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, but Er Ming and I are soul beasts. We can't betray our own race."
"Also, if I'm not mistaken, you promised Xiao Wu you wouldn't hunt normal hundred-thousand-year soul beasts and wouldn't harm our friends."
Tang San's face twisted. "Why is that? Why can Bibi Dong have multiple hundred-thousand-year soul rings? Why can Qian Renxue have multiple hundred-thousand-year soul rings? Even Yang Xiong has hunted so many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. He has all hundred-thousand-year soul bones. Why don't I have that opportunity?"
"I refuse to lose to Qian Renxue, and I refuse to lose to Yang Xiong. I must become the strongest. I must find my own hundred-thousand-year soul rings and soul bones. No one can stop me."
The Sky Blue Bull Python said helplessly, "Tang San, I know you want to grow stronger, but the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest are hiding very well. Even I can't find their traces. So I'm afraid I can't help you."
"Moreover, Tang San, I think your soul power has changed. It feels incredibly cold and evil. If you can't control it, I'm afraid you will fall deeper and deeper. This evil attribute energy can drive a person to madness."
Tang San gritted his teeth. "I will never fall. I have the Xuantian Kung Fu. It's the most just and righteous technique in the world. No one can sway my thoughts or my soul."
"I will carve my own path in the Douluo world. I will become the strongest in the Douluo world, the supreme being in the world. No one can stop me."
At this moment, Tang San was fully immersed in obsession and madness. The power of the Rakshasa God began to gradually dominate him. Evil thoughts started to take over his body.
As Tang San said, the Xuantian Kung Fu was the highest level technique in the world, a supreme Taoist technique, imbued with Taoist righteousness. This was one of the reasons Tang San had managed to hold on until now.
In just half a year, Tang San had absorbed eight soul rings, two of which were from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which was the darkest and most evil force in the world. If not for the Xuantian Kung Fu, he would have lost control a long time ago. He would have gone mad by now.
It's important to note that Bibi Dong became a Title Douluo more than a decade ago, but even now, she has only added seven soul rings to the Soul Devouring Spider King. This is due to the repelling force between her twin martial souls, and the Soul Devouring Spider King and the Death Spider King are dark and evil types, causing Bibi Dong to gradually fall and lose control.
However, Bibi Dong had been living in Spirit City for a long time, and with the restraint of the Angel God's power and her own extensive experience, she hadn't absorbed soul rings too quickly.
Even though Tang San's talent was extremely high, and his Xuantian Kung Fu kept him grounded, he couldn't withstand the extreme changes in his body in the past six months.
Compared to the original story, Tang San's changes happened very early. In the original, it was only with the sacrifices of the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python that he could overcome his weaknesses and reach his peak state. The soul rings and soul bones from the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python were invaluable treasures in the soul master world.
Tang San's gaze became resolute as he stared at the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python. "Senior Da Ming, Senior Er Ming, I've given you a chance. If you choose to help me now, it's still not too late. Otherwise, you will regret it."
The Titan Giant Ape roared, "Tang San, I see you for the ungrateful little brat that you are. We, the soul beast race, have given you many favors, and yet you're trying to hunt hundred-thousand-year soul beasts? You are simply ungrateful."
Tang San's eyes turned blood red in an instant, emitting endless black aura. His eyes became unfathomably deep, and his tone grew cold and sinister.
"Stubborn fools, I, Tang San, don't need anyone's favors. I am the true ruler of this world. I am the destined one."
Tang San's body instantly erupted with countless dark Blue Silver Grasses. Before the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python could react, the dark Blue Silver Grass had already started to wrap around the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python exchanged a glance and let out a fierce roar, releasing endless energy.
The Titan Giant Ape emitted earthy yellow energy, seemingly filled with infinite destructive power. The dark Blue Silver Grass seemed to be crushed under the force.
The Sky Blue Bull Python released terrifying sapphire blue lightning, and the dark Blue Silver Grass seemed to be struck by lightning, instantly turning to ash.
However, the dark Blue Silver Grass on Tang San's body seemed to never stop, and these dark Blue Silver Grasses were covered in a special black energy. This energy had extreme devouring attributes and a terrifying evil aura, causing even the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts to feel like their bodies were losing control.
"You're overestimating yourselves. You two are already heavily injured, and you have the remnants of the poison from the Soul Devouring Spider King. Your strength isn't even half of what it used to be. You can't compare to me."
The Sky Blue Bull Python roared, "Tang San, you've really disappointed me. I never expected you to be so despicable, attacking Er Ming and me. Xiao Wu was wrong about you."
Tang San's face twisted. "I'm doing everything for Xiao Wu. No one can hurt Xiao Wu. Even if I have to pay the ultimate price, I will protect Xiao Wu."
The Titan Giant Ape roared, releasing an incredibly terrifying force, and launched a full-strength punch at Tang San. The ground around the Titan Giant Ape seemed to be on the verge of cracking. This was the Tai Tan Giant Ape's unique Gravity Field. When it landed the full-strength punch, it was the Tai Tan Giant Ape's soul skill: Tai Tan Giant Star.
The Sky Blue Bull Python also let out a fierce cry, and its entire body was covered in sapphire blue lightning. The entire space seemed to be shrouded in blue light, causing the dark Blue Silver Grass to slow down. This was the Sky Blue Bull Python's soul skill: Sky Blue Oblivion Thunder.
Both the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python used all their strength. Clearly, Tang San's actions had angered them.
Tang San sneered coldly, and his hand turned into a massive Haotian Hammer, radiating with the aura of thunder and endless thunderous energy.
Tang San swung the Haotian Hammer with full force, and even the combined full-force attacks from the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were easily blocked by him.
Now, Tang San's Haotian Hammer had absorbed seven soul rings, each of them having a very high age. The sheer weight of the Haotian Hammer was already terrifying. Moreover, Tang San had also mastered a portion of the Rakshasa God's divine power.
