Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 679 Tang San's Demise

"Kneel...I kneel..." Tang San muttered to himself as his legs bent down.

He could see nothing at all, only endless darkness swirling around him. Meanwhile, outside, Qian Renxue saw countless cracks appearing on his shattered body—a harbinger of Tang San's physical collapse, like the earth cracking as moisture dries up under the scorching sun.

With a wave of her hand, Qian Renxue conjured a faint gray gate at the foot of a mountain, about a hundred miles away. Ning Shu and Shen Yuanyi, who were inside, led countless troops out in single file.

Ning Shu and Shen Yuanyi sensed the information Qian Renxue was conveying and determined their direction.

"They've gone far away. Miss has been trapped for more than two days. We need to catch up with them as soon as possible," Shen Yuanyi said.

"No problem." Ning Shu nodded, then waved her hand and sent the location information to Xu Tianyuan and Wang Yiheng.

This time, Qian Renxue brought two Soul Master Corps: the Imperial Dragon Corps and the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps. One had the largest stockpile of artillery shells in the Sun Moon Empire, and the other was the fastest, making them perfect for pursuing enemies in war.

However, they only brought these two teams, and if they cooperated, their combined strength would be greater than the sum of its parts. The former Evil Lord Squad, led by Vice Commander Xia Chenxuan, had penetrated deep behind enemy lines, bombed Dai Hao's Duke's mansion, and escaped unscathed.

At the same time, Tang San's proud legs finally bent completely.

Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly unleashed two balls of energy from her hands. These were the different attribute soul powers of her two martial souls. This time, she showed no fear when facing the divine power of the Asura God.

Angelic soul power shot out from her right hand, directly striking Tang San's left knee. The divine dissolving attribute and the burning light and fire incinerated his knee, turning it into a huge bloody hole.

The Spider King's soul power followed closely behind, and countless spider silks shot out like hidden weapons, directly wrapping around Tang San's right calf. Then, it tightened suddenly, tearing his flesh apart. Finally, the spider silks burrowed into the gaps between his bones and gouged out his kneecap!

But Tang San's eyes were vacant, as if he felt no pain at all. On the contrary, he felt as if something in his heart had been completely lost.

That was his heart, not some kind of organ like the heart, but his Dao heart, the inner strength that had always supported him forward.

It was this self-perceived strength in his heart that sustained him step by step, with the help of the gods in heaven, to get to where he is today.

But at this moment, he was a king who had lost his crown, fallen from his throne, covered in dust.

"Usurper." Qian Renxue's eyes were cold and ruthless, as if she were judging Tang San. Although her two souls were not as high as Tang San's in terms of level, she still had the upper hand.

"You won." Tang San lowered his head and spoke with difficulty. His hair, which had been stained with the power of the Asura God, was now full of scarlet and hung down in the sky, tangled in a mess.

"But could you please spare Xiao Wu and Wu Tong?" Tang San murmured. "If you still have love in your heart, if you know what love is..."

"I don't know," Qian Renxue interrupted him. "I don't know what you mean by love. I only know that if I let you go, those who love me will suffer."

Tang San looked up, a ferocious expression on his face: "Are you really this heartless? Have you forgotten that you once loved me? You even spared me several times because of it, in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, in the Star Dou Forest!"

"..." Qian Renxue looked at Tang San with amusement.

Ye Xishui frowned imperceptibly. She had heard the story of Qian Renxue. Ten thousand years ago, Xiaoxue missed countless opportunities because of her hesitation and indecisiveness.

Xiao Wu, who was being tormented by the black hole, seemed to hear these words as well. Her eyes were filled with resentment, and her face was distorted as time slowed down, making her look like a pig's intestine. "Yes, I did admire you once." Qian Renxue's face still held a playful smile. "After all, your story would be considered exciting anywhere, but there's one premise: you earned it all yourself."

"Actually, when you used the lives of 500,000 people at Jialing Pass as leverage in front of me, I sensed something was wrong. How could such words come from the mouth of a god? You dared to treat the lives of ordinary people as a joke so soon after becoming a god. I don't even dare to think about what will happen in the future. Will you go even further and use the lives of people across the entire continent as bargaining chips?"

"Until later, when you were resurrected for no reason, even after your soul was shattered, and my mother and I were completely unaware, I could roughly guess what had happened."

Qian Renxue's playful expression vanished at this moment: "Do you know why I called you a usurper? Because you are unworthy to be a god, because you are unworthy to be in this position. From that moment on, I stopped admiring you and became suspicious, beginning to doubt how you obtained everything you have."

"Until I understood everything, and even discovered that your senior Poseidon was reflected in my divine trials as an angel," Qian Renxue said calmly, "I realized how terrible my taste in men was..."

That's enough, including this time.

She had once been optimistic about a certain little boy, but unfortunately, history always repeats itself.

It can only be said that Qian Renxue is really not suited to be entangled in the love and hate between men and women.

Moreover, her taste in men is really terrible. Her investment in Huo Yuhao was only a small one. She thought highly of the kid, but in the end, he was still disappointing.

"Without love in your heart... you will ultimately achieve nothing..." Tang San's eyes began to turn into bloody holes, and the power that Qian Renxue had just injected into his body began to surge.

In reality, Qian Renxue was deliberately stalling for time. She wanted the Annihilation God King's lightning to erode Tang San's body more, causing him to break down more.

"Do you know what the biggest difference is between you and me?" Qian Renxue suddenly stopped laughing, and her voice began to change. Her originally clear and pleasant female voice became low and deep, like a whisper.

"I love this world, this plane and this planet, more than you do. I could never bring myself to use countless lives as a bargaining chip!" Qian Renxue said softly.

"They love their family and friends, even their subordinates, more than you do. I could never let my family, friends, and subordinates lead the charge while I cower in the temple!"

"And you, the one you truly care about is always yourself." Qian Renxue smiled and shook her head. "You keep saying that your favorite person is Xiao Wu, but you don't even know who sent her to the Douluo Continent."

"I can even imagine that if you continue to rule the God Realm in the future, and if Xiao Wu suffers a huge, huge injury when a crisis strikes, you'll probably turn a blind eye, because you love power more than you love Xiao Wu!"

Was what Qian Renxue said at the end true? Actually, she herself didn't know, but she wanted to guess that way, and she wanted to slowly break down Tang San's psychological defenses.

"No! Impossible!" Tang San roared, but then, several powers within him suddenly erupted, scattering his body apart.

A small object flew out, and Qian Renxue caught it and put it in her palm.

There's another scene later that will cause Tang Shenwang to completely break down mentally.
