"Xiao Wu, where did you go just now? Mubai and the others were all at the academy gate, why didn't I see you?"
"I… I was sleeping in my room just now. I didn't hear anything about the commotion at the academy gate." Xiao Wu bit her lip, stammering softly in response.
Hearing this, Liu Erlong frowned slightly, her voice tinged with suspicion, and said, "Xiao Wu, if you were sleeping just now, how would you know about what happened at the academy gate?"
Xiao Wu's face instantly turned somewhat ugly. She lowered her head, her two fingers poking at each other in front of her, stammering for a long time without being able to utter a single word, directly rendered speechless by the question.
Seeing this, Flender sighed, no longer pressing the issue, but slowly began to speak,
"Xiaogang became like this because people from his Family came and beat him. Even if his body recovers, he probably won't be able to live like a normal person. As for Little San, he's not in any serious danger; he just fainted from exhaustion."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu suddenly pounced on Tang San's bed, hugging him tightly, her voice trembling and choked, "Ge, you can't be in trouble!"
At the same time, Liu Erlong's eyes were also filled with sadness, and she whispered, "Xiaogang, now that you've become like this… what should we do in the future?"
Seeing Liu Erlong's emotional state, Flender gently stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and comforted her, "Sister Erlong, don't be too sad. Don't I still have me?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong instantly lost control, crying even more fiercely, her choked sobs echoing continuously in the room, making even the air heavy with sorrow and sadness.
However, Flender surprisingly laughed, a meaningful glint flashing in his eyes.
… … … …
The moon was like a silver disk, and the sky was full of stars.
The night wind made the streetlights on both sides of the street flicker unsteadily.
Dugu Bo and Tang Chuan walked down the chilly street, their figures stretching long in the moonlight.
Suddenly, a dark figure flashed from an alleyway not far away.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo's brow furrowed slightly. He clearly sensed something abnormal, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Since you're here, why are you being so sneaky and dare not show yourself?"
As soon as his voice fell, a grey figure slowly emerged from the fork in the road ahead.
Under the faint moonlight, one could only vaguely make out a man of extremely robust build.
Seeing the newcomer, Dugu Bo immediately instinctively shielded Tang Chuan behind him, and asked coldly, "Your Excellency, why have you been following us all this way?"
The grey-robed man did not choose to answer directly, but merely laughed up at the sky, saying,
"When the young are beaten, the old naturally come out to seek justice. I haven't stretched my muscles in a while, and today I just want to spar properly with you, Poison Douluo."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand, and a thick black light condensed in his palm.
In an instant, a giant hammer with a head the size of a water vat appeared in the grey-robed man's palm, its heavy aura almost causing the surrounding air to tremble.
Immediately after.
Two yellow, two purple, four black, one red.
Nine spirit rings slowly spiraled up from beneath the grey-robed man's feet.
"You… you are Tang Hao?"
Looking at the nine spirit rings released by the grey-robed man and the giant hammer in his hand, Dugu Bo's face suddenly changed. Two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings, a total of nine, immediately rose from beneath his feet. Instantly, the heavy aura released by Tang Hao was greatly suppressed.
Regarding Dugu Bo's question.
Tang Hao merely snorted coldly, not admitting his identity.
"You seem to be poisoned? And it's the potent venom of the Death Spider Emperor!"
"If you forcibly fight me, aren't you afraid of the poison attacking your heart?"
Just then, Dugu Bo's nose suddenly twitched, as if he had detected something. Having dealt with poison for many years, his sensitivity to it had almost become an instinct, and he said in a deep voice.
"Hahahaha!! Poison attacking the heart? To deal with you, it won't even stir my old injuries within." Hearing this, Tang Hao sneered. His Clear Sky Hammer in hand slowly rose, his gaze shifting from Dugu Bo to Tang Chuan behind him, and he said in a deep voice;
"I can see that you seem eager to try. In that case, let's both come at me. What's the difference between one and two?"
