Hong——
A loud boom echoed from behind Snake Lance Douluo, then a fierce cracking sound gave a shiver to Snake Lance Douluo’s mind, whose strength of his hands to control loosed a little immediately. Under the tremendous impact, he moved backward rapidly with the golden meteor, stepping more than ten paces before narrowly catching his balance. For the purpose of blocking that fierce impulse, it was hard to avoid using too much strength.
The golden light stopped, with a wah sound, Qian Renxue vomited a mouthful of fresh blood on Snake Lance Douluo’s chest. The instant before she fell unconscioust, she couldn’t help giving a look in Tang San’s direction. Even though her eyes were already hazy, unwillingness still teemed within them. Then her body softened and collapsed into Snake Lance Douluo’s arms, unconscious.
On the other side, Porcupinefish Douluo was not that lucky. His strength was above Dugu Bo a little, and his spirit was also restricting Dugu Bo’s, however, Yang Wudi’s spirit restricted his. Even though Yang Wudi was just a Spirit Douluo, his attack power was absolutely Title Douluo class.
Facing the strongest attacks of the two, Porcupinefish Douluo’s outcome was imaginable. His swelling body broke again, and this time Dugu Bo seized the chance to cut in, the formidable corrosive ability of his ninth spirit ability with a strong green light devoured the lower half of Porcupinefish Douluo’s Spirit Avatar body directly.
Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi vomited blood simultaneously, but Porcupinefish Douluo was thrown next Snake Lance’s body like a broken jute bag, having returned half to real body, bathed in blood, life or death unknown. And because of the emission of spirit power made by the collision of their full strength before, no less than half of the hundred spirit masters around had lost their lives, involved in their top class spirit abilities.
Not daring to stop, choking back physical injuries, Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi came to either side of Tang San, protecting him from the left and right.
Xiao Wu fell down from the sky, and once again threw herself into Tang San’s arms. A resonance from their very souls made both of them tremble a little.
This time, Xiao Wu didn't open her mouth, softly touching Tang San’s lips with her own. The next moment, her body softened and fell into Tang San’s arms, her soul again transforming into a pink light and blending into Tang San’s body.
Feeling Xiao Wu’s body limp for lack of soul, an intense sadness rose up from his heart. If not for Spirit Hall, how could Xiao Wu suffer so bitterly?
Holding up Qian Renxue with one arm, Snake Lance Douluo shouted angrily, “Kill them.” The rest of the dozens of spirit masters of Spirit Hall was comparatively higher in rank. Hearing his order, they released their spirits and besieged Tang San’s trio from all directions.
Now, all of Tang San and the others were already arrows at the end of their flight, especially Tang San himself, who had already completely lost fighting capacity.
At this moment of crisis, suddenly, three silhouettes dropped from the sky, forming a triangle around the Tang San’s trio, just including the three of them.
“Sun——And——Moon——Dazzling——Golden——Turn.”
“Sun——And——Moon——Dazzling——Golden——Turn.”
Three intense golden lights rose up from the three towards the sky, spreading everywhere, and formed a golden triangle with the three as corners. Within the innermost part, there was a golden halo, around which were assorted intricate lines.
The new arrivals were no strangers, but the Golden Triangle, formed by Flender in the lead, with Grandmaster and Liu Erlong.
The Flender’s trio were pervaded with a layer of glistening golden color. Flender and Liu Erlong closed their eyes slowly, and the light in Grandmaster’s eyes clearly grew brighter, stabbing at the dozens of spirit masters who were rushing towards them, like two sharp swords.
A degree of integration no less than ninety nine percent made the light produced by the Spirit Fusion Ability of their spirits more and more dazzling. With the three of them as corners, an intense triangular light pillar soared immediately to the sky.
By now, the spirit masters from Spirit Hall had begun to attack them crazily. But under the protection of that golden light, their attack had no effect at all. When the Golden Iron Triangle was releasing their Spirit Fusion Ability, a protective golden light would produce a kind of effect similar to Tang San’s Invincible Golden Body.
Grandmaster’s eyes filled with deathly chill suddenly shone with dazzling brilliance, raising his right hand slowly, toward the center of the golden triangle formed by the three of them.
“Luo Sanpao.” With a deep sound which sounded like the roar of dragon, the chubby Luo Sanpao appeared out of nowhere and landed at the center of the golden triangle. In an instant, light halos sprang up from them three respectively and simultaneously.
Grandmaster had four, while Flender and Liu Erlong both had eight. Twenty rings of light in all actually floated out from their bodies to Sanpao in the center of the golden halo.
Huge pressure not only forced those normal spirit masters to tumble back rapidly, but also made Snake Lance Douluo’s face change drastically. He could clearly sense that the golden light had already surpassed the pressure he could produce in his full state. Making a prompt decision, he snatched up Porcupinefish Douluo with the other hand, holding Qian Renxue and leaped up, and taking advantage of the cover of those normal spirit masters, disappearing in the distance in a few bounds.
Grandmaster’s trio’s altogether twenty spirit rings simultaneously fell on Luo Sanpao, who went from seemingly extremely cute to seeming to suffer extreme pain. With an intense dragon roar, the twenty spirit rings on its chubby body began to swell violently, and then began to rise up slowly under the light released by Golden Triangle.
Luo Sanpao’s body was growing at an amazing speed, and blocks of rhombic scales appeared on his chubby body, lumps of massive muscles bulging. A huge body kept growing, two twisted horns grew from the top of the head, and blue purple light surged around its body continuously, which were gradually rendered gold by the Golden Triangle.
In just the time of several breaths, Luo Sanpao’s body had already expanded to the extent of nearly thirty meters, scales splitting open on his back, and a pair of huge dragon wings spreading out. Without assistance of the golden light, it still could float in midair. The original eyes revealing simple and cute temperament now radiated extreme prestige, having become golden like its body.
Luo Sanpao at this moment, was not that pig-dog-like animal, but a huge golden dragon with awe-inspiring and dazzling appearance.
Four claws under its belly, and thick dragon scales covering its whole body, golden dragon eyes were filled with dignified aura, which spread with powerful dragon prestige, making the spirit masters of Spirit Hall not dare move forward any more and step back in panic.
Streaks of golden electric ray surrounded Luo Sanpao, who was radiating light from its whole body and floating there, like a golden sun.
Although Tang San’s body was weak, his spirit was still really sober, putting the unconscious Xiao Wu carefully into his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, shouting deeply, “Quick, protect Emperor Xue Ye, the emperor can’t die.”
When Snake Lance Douluo brought Qian Renxue and Porcupinefish Douluo to leave in another direction, he breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. Clearly, he was somewhat panicked. He didn’t return to the resting palace, for fear of being killed by the unfathomable Golden Iron Triangle. But he didn’t know that the biggest weakness of Golden Iron Triangle spirit fusion ability was its attack range. Once incarnated into the Golden Saint Dragon, Luo Sanpao could only attack within a certain range.
The next stage of the fight held no suspense. Having added twenty spirit rings and mutated, Luo Sanpao could only be described as terrifying, so even Dugu Bo who had once fought against it relying on Jade Phosphor Serpent was drastically surprised. Not until now had he realized Golden Iron Triangle had evolved to such an extent. Even the highe
st level Title Douluo would find it difficult to defeat them.
Since Grandmaster and Liu Erlong had established their relationship, Golden Iron Triangle walked together again. Over the years, even if the Shrek Seven Devils had been growing, they were also stepping forward. Although much slower than Shrek Seven Devils, don’t forget that Grandmaster’s strength was poor before.
With the ninth grade Purple Zoysia provided by Tang San, Grandmaster had solved the problem of cultivation upper limit, and after Grandmaster broke through rank thirty, his spirit power was continuously progressing and had already reached more than rank forty, and also had two more spirit rings. Flender and Liu Erlong had advanced to Spirit Douluo level powers, and so their trinity Spirit Fusion Ability made a qualitative leap.
The most formidable point of a Spirit Fusion Ability was in the effect it displayed after fusing the spirit abilities of each Spirit Master. In other words, when releasing a Spirit Fusion Ability, no matter which spirit master involved enhanced their strength, the power of the Spirit Fusion Ability would improve. So this was why the more people involved, the more powerful the Spirit Fusion Ability would be.
Therefore, the might of Luo Sanpao could now only be described as terrifying. For those spirit masters who hadn’t surpassed rank sixty and were shocked by the highest level spirit abilities, how could they withstand the attack of Luo Sanpao? Just after several Holy Breaths, there were plenty of corpses, and less than one third ran fast enough to escape.
In order to control the situation of Emperor Xue Ye, Qian Renxue had dispelled all of the guards before. Tang San had no time to talk with Grandmaster, with help of Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi, they broke into the resting palace as fast as possible.
When they were standing by Emperor Xue Ye, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief, at least Emperor Xue Ye was still alive.
The emperor who had originally ruled a huge empire was at his last gasp now. Maids by his bed shed tears anxiously, if the emperor died, they would be buried with him.
Dugu Bo pushed aside the maids somewhat rudely. He had been treating Emperor Xue Ye’s poison all the time, so he was naturally familiar with his condition. Moving close to him, he turned over Emperor Xue Ye’s eyelids and saw that his eyes had already completely rolled back, and his face was as black as ink.
Dugu Bo said deeply, “The poison is active. I don’t know if it was that girl called Qian Renxue who gave him the poison. But he won’t last long. At most the time of a stick of incense. ”
Both Tang San and Yang Wudi were masters of using poison, and they were watching the condition of Emperor Xue Ye attentively. Obviously, his condition was extremely terrible. Even now he was on the verge of death, and could die at any time.
Tang San judged attentively, and he found that the medicine he had now would be difficult to make a difference, since the extent Emperor Xue Ye was poisoned was too deep.
Just when he was reflecting how to help Emperor Xue Ye struggle on at death’s door, or at least die deal with the situation once he died, he suddenly heard a slight expression of surprise from Yang Wudi.
There was a silver needle in Yang Wudi’s hand somehow, which was not a pure silver needle, but looked made of a special metal, glistening silver light mixed with bits and pieces of purple color.
Pinching the silver needle in hand, and muttering slightly, Yang Wudi flicked his wrist and thrust the silver needle into Emperor Xue Ye’s key vein, with such skill that the silver needle inserted into Emperor’s wrist vein through his wrist.
Both Tang San and Dugu Bo didn’t open their mouth. They had no choice, they had to anchor their hope on Yang Wudi.
After three seconds, Yang Wudi flicked his finger slightly, and that silver needle leaped out from Emperor Xue Ye’s wrist vein. When the silver needle dropped to the ground, Tang San couldn’t help drawing in his breath: on the slender silver needle, there were actually seven different colors.
“Actually made from seven poisonous materials. No wonder even old freak can’t solve it. Elder Yang Wudi, do you know this kind of poison? As long as we find its recipe, there will be an opportunity to save Emperor Xue Ye.”
Yang Wudi’s face turned somewhat weird, and the silver needle in his hand was even trembling slightly. Looking at Tang San, he said briefly, “We shall bring him back. I can solve this poison, but I need time.”
Tang San exulted, looking at Dugu Bo, “Old freak, how long can you keep him alive using poison to combat poison?”
Dugu Bo muttered deeply, “No problem for twenty four hours. However, if we can’t save him within this time, he will no doubt die, even immortals couldn’t help him.”
Tang San said without the slightest hesitation: “Do it.”
Dugu Bo nodded, cutting his finger with a fingernail, compelled by a layer of green light, a drop of venom as black as ink slowly poured out from his fingertip.
He didn’t let Emperor Xue Ye take it directly, but rather used his other hand which was free to smack Emperor Xue Ye’s body rapidly.
Tang San didn’t ask Yang Wudi more, just nodded to him, “Elder Yang, I’ll leave Emperor Xue Ye to you and old freak.” By now, the effect of purification within his body had finally disappeared. Although he was still exhausted, it was enough for him to walk.
The Golden Iron Triangle had withdrawn the Spirit Fusion Ability, guarding outside the palace gate. Tang San walked over to them, “Dean Flender. What’s the situation outside? How about the academy?”
He didn’t ask Grandmaster, but Flender, which was a respect to Flender, since he was the leader of Golden Iron Triangle after all.
Flender said deeply, “We took advantage of the confusion to slip inside. Seeing your distress signal, we knew something had happened. We first settled those Heaven Dou imperial family Spirit Masters in the Academy, but we still had to leave some people there. Then we circled around a large number of enemies guarding the academy and hurried here. When we came, we just saw a lot of spirit masters were attacking the palace and were blocked out by the army of the Palace Guard Arm. There seemed to be people from the Strength Clan among them. It was then we took the advantage of the disorderliness made by them and entered. However, before our entering, we already saw spirit masters from palace coming out to support. ”
Light in Tang San eyes flickered slightly, after a simple reflecting, said, “We must leave here as quickly as possible. Before Emperor Xue Ye wakes up, we will have no chance. Those spirit masters who attacked the imperial household might come from our Tang Sect, which was a point Qian Renxue overlooked. I just hadn’t thought that the Imperial Household would defend such cautiously. If you hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid our situation would be really bad. Qian Renxue is Xue Qinghe, that woman before. Don’t know how she managed to always disguise herself as Xue Qinghe. She is also the daughter of Spirit Hall’s previous Supreme Pontiff.”
With merely several simple words, Tang San had already explained the situation clearly.
Grandmaster said, “Go back to the academy first. Only with the support of Emperor Xue Ye can we counterattack. The defense of the imperial palace is strict, we’d better hurry up, or your Tang Sect will lose a great deal.”
On saying that, a white silhouette flew over with an extremely high speed. Seeing that silhouette, Tang San hastily gestured for Liu Erlong aside him hurriedly to make a signal. A cloud of flame draw attention of that white silhouette, who floated down and landed, the patriarch of the Speed Clan, Bai He.
Seeing Tang San was well, Bai He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, “Sect master, are you alright? What’s going on here?”
Seeing Bai He, Tang San was also very glad, said immediately, “Granduncle, don’t ask what’s going on right now. Please send the disciples of Tang Sect a message immediately. Tell them to retreat not go back to the sect, but go to Shrek Academy directly. We will get together with you at once.”
Bai He could see the anxiety in Tang San’s eyes, so after nodding slightly to Grandmaster and the others, he soa
red towards the sky and disappeared like cloud and smoke, inwardly surprising Grandmaster’s trio.
Liu Erlong praised, “What a fast speed. We can fly too, but really slower compared with him.”
Grandmaster said, “Maybe he hasn’t showed his real speed yet. If I’m not wrong, this is the patriarch of the Speed Clan. It’s said that if he flies with his full strength, he can cross the whole continent in three days. He is the fastest spirit master in the world today, no one can compare.”
Through the explanation of Grandmaster, Flender and Liu Erlong finally understood how formidable Bai He’s speed was.
“Little freak, I’m fine on this end. What’s next?”
Tang San turned his head, seeing Dugu Bo walking over carrying Emperor Xue Ye on his back with Yang Wudi. Without hesitation, Tang San said immediately, “Break through at once, go back to the academy. Dean Flender, Grandmaster, we’ll trouble you.”
The group all left the resting palace, and ran in a direction lead by Dugu Bo. Without waiting for the help of Golden Iron Triangle, Yang Wudi rushed ahead, while Dugu Bo and Tang San stayed in the middle, and Golden Iron Triangle guarding the rear. Dugu Bo not only carried Emperor Xue Ye, but also needed to assist Tang San move forward. Although his spirit power had been consumed a great deal, his speed wasn’t decreased.
On leaving the resting palace, they came across the Imperial Guard Army. Right now, time was most important. Yang Wudi’s Breaking Soul Lance couldn’t be more suitable to strike ahead serving as a sharp impact, wherever the Soulbreaking Spear went, everything was swept aside. The six rushed out practically without slowing down.
By now, the whole palace was in a mess. Tang San and Qian Renxue’s fight in the sky before disturbed the whole palace, and with the attack from outside, the Imperial Guard Army in the palace was undoubtedly immediately thrown into chaos. And what was most notable was undoubtedly the thousand of spirit masters from Tang Sect who attracted a great number of imperial guards.
Among the six, only Tang San had no fighting capacity, and of the other five, even Grandmaster was more than rank forty. With another three Spirit Douluo and a Title Douluo, how could the soldiers of the Imperial Guard Army block them? Breaking through in a fast speed, they pulled away out of the palace.
