Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Naruto Divine Tree; I Devour the World

Chapter 19: A Classic Within a Classic, A Way to Die, Even Tang San Falls for It

I felt my right leg expanding like a balloon being inflated.

Gangzi felt utterly miserable at that moment.

In my mind, past memories flashed and played back like a slideshow.

He awakened a useless martial soul, was ostracized by his family, persecuted by the Spirit Hall, humiliated and ridiculed by the entire spirit master world, and even the girl he liked turned out to be his sister.

He wanted to ask God why his life had been so full of hardship.

They finally managed to recruit a powerful disciple with twin martial souls and innate full soul power, and were about to take off, when they encountered this nightmarish soul beast.

Why? Why is God treating me this way?

He just wanted to make a name for himself and make those who looked down on him regret their actions. What's wrong with that?

While feeling desperate, Yu Xiaogang was also filled with remorse.

If you didn't act so pretentious, if you were even more shameless...

If I asked the Dean of Notting Academy, that four-ring Soul Master, or even the four-eyed cat owl Flander Soul Saint for help, would I be spared from death?

Damn it!

However, just when Yu Xiaogang was in complete despair and filled with grief and regret, Tang San suddenly moved.

He activated Ghostly Appearance and turned to charge towards the datura serpent without hesitation.

He ran forward, constantly taking out large white radishes from his waist storage belt and throwing them to slow down his opponent.

On the other side, he clenched his teeth, his expression becoming extremely ferocious, and his eerie purple eyes flashed with a chilling light.

The three roared in their hearts:

"The so-called top predators are actually the evil creatures of the Soul Beast Forest."

As fellow soul beasts, they wantonly slaughter other beasts; it's utterly inhumane and unjust.

Moreover, daring to ambush me and poison my teacher, you are courting death.

He screamed inwardly, and with his right hand flung out several large white radishes.

Almost simultaneously, with a slight lift of her left hand, three black beams, hidden behind Luo Bo, shot out silently.

The sharp short arrows forged by the Iron Mother were arranged in a triangular pattern, covering all directions from which the Mandragora Serpent's head could dodge.

The sleeve darts on his wrist could fire a total of three times, but the head of the datura snake moved too fast, so in order to aim at the eyes, he had to fire them all at once to increase accuracy.

In Tang San's imagination,

The three hidden darts were fired at the same time, aimed at the weak points, and were hidden behind the carrot, making them extremely difficult to detect.

This attack should be absolutely foolproof.

He never expected this.

At the last moment, the datura snake's thick neck muscles contracted violently, causing its head to lower slightly, and the hidden arrow only hit the scales on its head.

Three crisp clangs rang out, but apart from a few sparks, they caused no damage.

"How is this possible?"

"There's no other way but to fight it out."

Tang San gripped the short sword given to him by Yu Xiaogang upside down and resolutely continued charging towards the Mandala Serpent.

Assassins can sometimes fail in their sneak attacks, so close-quarters combat is also a strength. For now, we can only rely on the martial arts of the Tang Clan.

Pure and immaculate, she treads upon ghostly shadows.

Just as he was about to reach his target, he swayed slightly and moved laterally about three feet away.

At the same time, all the remaining Xuan Tian Gong power had been transferred to his hands.

Blue light flickered in his palm, but while a strong suction force erupted from his left hand, his right hand's power increased significantly.

According to his calculations,

First, by using the Ghostly Shadow technique to move laterally, one can avoid the main attack direction of the Mandragora Serpent, thus avoiding being bitten and potential attacks from unknown soul power.

The Crane Control Dragon Capture technique can significantly slow down the snake's head speed, making it easier to aim and unleash a burst of power.

In addition, since it wanted to attack him, it opened its mouth wide, exposing its weakness.

The battle can be ended in one go.

However, what shocked the three once again was that just as they were about to strike their target and unleash their full combo attack,

The datura snake paused again, then drifted to the side as it had dodged its teacher's soul skill before, but its speed and reaction were noticeably faster.

This change caused the situation to take a sharp turn for the worse.

It was still rushing towards him, but its trajectory had changed from a straight line to an arc.

The ghostly, elusive movements, which had initially been a strategy of avoiding direct confrontation, were now turning into a predatory prey, seemingly delivering themselves right into the tiger's den.

Tang San was so anxious that his heart almost stopped.

But when a person is in mid-air, there is nowhere to take hold.

He could only watch helplessly as he and that gaping maw met and collided with each other with perfect accuracy, and he was bitten hard on his right shoulder.

The thick, black liquid gushing from the wound, and the surrounding skin that began to swell and turn an eerie bluish-purple in an instant...

This proves just how vicious the snake's bite was... no, how ruthless it was.

It is estimated that he generously opened his poison bag and gave away all his poisons, until he was short of money himself.

"The other woman!"

Yu Xiaogang was not yet unconscious. Seeing that his disciple had also been affected, he let out a mournful howl.

Although he was objectively and practically sabotaging Tang San, subjectively and psychologically he genuinely hoped to cultivate a brilliant disciple so that he could make a name for himself.

Unfortunately, his skills were too poor, yet he always tried to flaunt his uniqueness, believing that the strong should not follow the usual path, which backfired.

It was this genuine affection that made the three of them so deeply involved that they couldn't extricate themselves.

Otherwise, would someone who has been reborn twice in his life so easily trust others?

Fortunately, after that attack, the datura snake seemed to have exhausted its venom and did not press its advantage.

Instead, they retreated far away, remaining dozens of meters away and watching intently.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bing Qingyu quickly pressed several acupoints on her chest, then swung her knife to cut a deep cross on the wound, using her Xuan Tian Gong to force the venom and blood to flow out.

A large amount of venom was rapidly expelled.

Even so, my brain still felt groggy.

The Mandragora Serpent's venom is indeed extremely potent, earning it a place among the most terrifying poison-attribute soul beasts according to the Soul Beast Encyclopedia.

One wave subsides only for another to rise.

Just then, a slightly soft rustling sound came from behind them.

Tang San turned around in horror and was shocked to see a triangular snake head that was very similar to the Mandala Snake from before, but several times smaller.

This little datura snake seemed eager to steal the kill, bravely charging towards Bing Qingyujie.

As a result, the three sons used the "Controlling Crane and Capturing Dragon" technique to grab the snake's head tightly in their palms, and then pierced its eyes with a dagger.

Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, his face trembling with excitement.

From utter despair and deathly silence to a mixture of joy and surprise,

The change in his expression was so rapid and dramatic that it was comparable to a face-changing magic trick.

"Alright, alright, Little San, now we have a way out, and your spirit rings are settled."

Hahaha, Heaven hasn't forsaken me, Heaven hasn't forsaken me!
