Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

"Impossible, who do you think you are to be compared with a hundred thousand year old soul beast?" After hearing Tang San's conditions, Yan, who always had a hot temper, became extremely angry.

In his opinion, Hu Liena's giving Tang San a chance to survive was already a great blessing to him. He didn't expect Tang San to go even further and try to force them to let Xiao Wu go. This was simply a way to his death.

Hu Liena frowned slightly, her face darkening as she said sternly, "Tang San, don't be ungrateful. You should know that the value of a hundred thousand year old spirit beast is far beyond your reach. We absolutely cannot let her go, but you are different. Do you really want to throw away your life for her?"

"Third brother, agree to them. We can't run away. I'm already very satisfied to see you for the last time." Xiao Wu gently pulled Tang San's hand, her voice choked with sobs as she urged him earnestly.

The situation at this moment is very clear. Facing the siege of hundreds of powerful people from the Wuhun Empire, no matter how strong the two of them are, there is no way they can break out.

So in Xiao Wu's heart, they were almost certain to die, but she knew that Tang San still had a chance of survival. As a soul beast, she could not escape the fate of being hunted no matter what. Her only hope was that Tang San could survive.

Tang San shook his head without hesitation, staring at Hu Liena with icy eyes, and said word by word: "Enough of the nonsense, if you want to kill Xiao Wu, you must step over my corpse first. I want to see how many lives you, the Spirit Empire, will have to sacrifice in exchange for our two lives."

After he finished speaking, he whispered to Xiao Wu quietly, "Xiao Wu, I'll stop them later, and you can take the opportunity to escape. I'm from the Haotian Sect, and they may not kill me because I'm still useful." As he spoke, he calmly took out his hidden weapon, secretly preparing for a life-and-death battle with the Wuhun Empire.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu shook her head firmly, her tone filled with determination: "Third brother, if we die, we die together, and if we leave, we leave together."

She snuggled up to Tang San, with no fear or retreat in her eyes, only a firm determination to live and die with Tang San.

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude. Go!" A cold light flashed in Hu Liena's eyes, and her expression, which originally had a hint of persuasion, instantly became extremely cold. She swung her right hand vigorously and gave the order to attack.

Following Hu Liena's order, the many powerful men of the Wuhun Empire, who had been unable to contain themselves for a long time, rushed forward like tigers out of their cages.

In an instant, the light released by various martial spirits complemented each other, illuminating the area like daylight.

These powerful men have long been eager to show their skills, but without the orders of Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden of the Wuhun Empire, they have been suppressing their inner impulses and dared not act on their own.

In the Wuhun Empire, everyone knows how favored Hu Liena is. If her biological brother Xie Yue had not received such special treatment, people in the Wuhun Empire would have speculated whether Hu Liena was Bibi Dong's illegitimate daughter?

As a strong contender for the next heir to the empire, even Titled Douluo would respectfully address Hu Liena as "Saint" when they see her.

What's more, these Soul Saints, Soul Emperors, and even Soul Douluos must obey her orders, even though Hu Liena has just broken through to the Soul Emperor realm. But this is the power of power.

In the Douluo Continent where the strong are respected, power can also influence many things. As long as one is not strong enough to ignore all rules, one must follow the established order of this world.

Faced with the powerful warriors of the Spirit Empire pouring in like a tide, Tang San knew that the situation was critical, and immediately used all the hidden weapons he carried without reservation.

The dragon beard needles are like imperceptible silk threads, silently shooting towards the enemy. The Zhuge magic crossbow fires in succession with powerful penetrating power. The silent sleeve arrows take lives in secret. The mother-and-child soul-chasing and life-threatening gallbladders are astonishingly powerful after exploding. The Yama Post will kill anyone who touches it, extremely overbearing. The torrential pear blossom needles are like a downpour, covering a large area.

All kinds of hidden weapons attacked the enemy like a violent storm. Tang San used all his methods just to kill more enemies in this desperate situation. Even if he died, he would bite off a piece of flesh from the enemy.

Under the fierce attack of Tang San's hidden weapons, the strong men of the Wuhun Empire suffered heavy losses in one encounter. Several Soul Emperors and Soul Saints were unable to dodge and fell in a pool of blood in an instant.

Xiao Wu was not to be outdone. She worked closely with Tang San. Relying on her teleportation skills, she moved among the enemy groups in a mysterious way. In addition, with her clever use of gravity control and charm skills, she often dealt fatal blows to the enemy unexpectedly. Several Soul Emperors lost their lives under her attacks.

Hu Liena's face grew increasingly gloomy as she watched her own men continue to fall. She was secretly annoyed. If she had known that Tang San was so stubborn and difficult to deal with, that was why she had tried so hard to persuade Tang San to surrender in the beginning. She really didn't want to lose too many men in this battle.

Although Tang San and Xiao Wu were formidable, far surpassing ordinary Soul Emperors and capable of even killing Soul Sages through their various means, the Spirit Empire's forces were simply too numerous. Before long, under the enemy's relentless onslaught, Tang San and Xiao Wu gradually lost strength, each sustaining wounds, and were gradually forced into a desperate situation.

Just as the two were about to die, a strange gray fog spread silently around them.

As the gray fog spread, a creepy aura of death began to spread, soon enveloping the forest within a radius of several kilometers.

Hu Liena noticed something was wrong immediately, her face turned pale, and she shouted, "Be careful, something's wrong!"

In fact, there is no need for Hu Liena to remind her that the people who followed Bibi Dong out of the Wuhun Empire this time are the elites among the elites, and they are not fools.

How could such an obvious change in the surrounding environment escape their eyes? Everyone stopped attacking almost at the same time and looked around vigilantly.

Soul masters who possessed perception-type soul skills released their soul skills without hesitation, trying to detect the origin of the gray fog.

One of the rare spiritual masters used spiritual perception. Not long after, his face turned as white as paper, his lips trembled, and he stammered, "What is this?"

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the spiritual master, but he was no longer able to speak because everyone else had also witnessed that terrifying scene.

In the gray fog, a series of crooked figures slowly walked out.

Hu Liena widened her eyes and finally saw the creatures walking out of the gray fog. A strange light flickered in the empty eye sockets of the skeletons, the zombies moved their bodies stiffly, the headless knight waved the weapon in his hand, and the abominable huge body exuded a disgusting smell.

All kinds of undead creatures swarmed out from the gray fog. Preliminary visual estimates showed that their number exceeded tens of thousands. Wherever there was gray fog, there were these terrifying undead creatures.

Hu Liena was so frightened that her face turned pale as paper, and her lips trembled uncontrollably: "Why are there so many undead here? How could undead appear in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Yan and Xie Yue reacted very quickly and immediately stood in front of Hu Liena. Xie Yue looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "Sister, something is wrong. You go first!"

"Nana, you go first, we will cover your retreat." Yan was covered with a layer of lava armor and also stood in front of Hu Liena.

At this time, Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at the undead creatures that walked past them but ignored them. They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Then, their ears moved slightly, as if they had received some secret signal. The two looked at each other again, and surprise instantly appeared in their eyes, as well as relief at having survived the disaster.

So, the two of them retreated slowly and silently, their steps as light as ghosts, and gradually merged into the gray fog.

As their figures gradually disappeared, the people of the Wuhun Empire had no time to pay attention to them, because at this moment, they had already started a fierce battle with the undead creatures that suddenly appeared.

For a moment, the lights of various soul skills bloomed in the gray fog, but due to the obstruction of the gray fog, these lights were not conspicuous and were all shrouded in the depressing gray.

Tang San and Xiao Wu walked out of the gray fog carefully, looking back at the colorful lights flashing in the gray fog behind them, still feeling a lingering fear in their hearts.

Outside the gray fog, waiting for them was a black-haired young man. It was Huo Yuhao who came with Niu Tian and Tai Tan.

"Are you all right?" Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tang San and Xiao Wu appear safe and sound. (End of this chapter)
