Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 118 You beast! Let him go!

With a sickeningly sharp cutting sound, the terrifying dark golden blade shattered through the layers of bright yellow barrier and struck Elder Xuan.

In an instant, crimson blood spurted out. Elder Xuan screamed in agony. In his anger and worry that Tang San was in imminent danger, he could no longer care about anything else and forcibly activated the power of the Taotie bloodline within his body.

"Um!?"

The heavy aura made Xiong Jun's expression freeze. Before he could react, an indescribable, vast power surged from Xuan Lao's huge bull horns. Although it didn't cause any particularly serious damage to Xiong Jun's thick skin, it still sent his entire body flying.

After doing all this, Elder Xuan transformed back into human form from his Martial Soul True Body state, revealing his miserable appearance.

Before Elder Xuan could even catch his breath, the backlash from forcibly activating the Taotie bloodline quietly arrived.

Xuan Lao's face, which was flushed with an abnormal redness, regained some color, and his complexion eased slightly after he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Not only did his bloodline backlash cause serious injury, but Xiong Jun's two attacks also inflicted extremely severe damage on him.

Several grotesque and narrow wounds appeared on Elder Xuan's back, from which blood was continuously flowing, staining his entire back a scarlet color.

But compared to the deep, bone-exposing wound on his shoulder, the wound on his back was much better.

Seeing that Xiong Jun had been repelled, Elder Xuan did not pursue him.

The battle broke out too suddenly, and because he was distracted and severely injured by Xiong Jun, he is now seriously injured and has no way to fight against Xiong Jun unless he fully activates his Taotie bloodline.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and bought some time through defense, the bone-revealing wound might not have been in his arm, but in his neck.

Thinking of this, Elder Xuan felt a surge of anger. He had never been so embarrassed since he reached level ninety-eight!

We've really lost a lot of money.

Now, not only did they fail to retrieve the bird eggs, but they also suffered such serious injuries, and even Tang San was...

Wait, what happened to Tang San?!

Finally realizing that he had just sent out a distress signal but turned around because of the boy he had ignored, Elder Xuan dared not linger any longer.

"Brother Xiong, I'll remember this grudge! I'll definitely come to the Star Dou Great Forest to seek your guidance again next time!"

After uttering those harsh words, he transformed into a streak of yellow light and flew straight towards the location of the signal flare.

Mixed zone.

Two tents stood out conspicuously on an empty lawn.

In front of the tent, a pale-faced boy was silently munching on some rather bland dry rations.

Gollum—

Using the water in his water pouch, Tang San swallowed the last mouthful of dry rations. Whether he had choked while eating or was because of his miserable experience, Tang San couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

If it weren't for the Xuan Tian Gong's help in his recovery, he might not even have the strength to move, let alone set up the tent.

Thinking of this, Tang San felt an indescribable anger well up in his heart.

Although the master in his previous life also squeezed their potential through various means, he would at least give them a medicinal bath every time they were exhausted.

Where is Elder Xuan?

He was so busy hunting wild game that he even had to set up his own tent!

It's been so long, why hasn't that old man come back yet?

Why does hunting wild game take so long? Or is something holding you back?

But a level 98 Super Douluo can roam freely in the Star Dou Great Forest except when encountering ferocious beasts. What could possibly delay him?

Tang San subconsciously looked up at the moon hanging high in the sky, convinced that Elder Xuan was unwilling to return because of his gluttony, and couldn't help but clench his hands tightly.

Even the most gluttonous person should have their limits!

If I were to encounter a more powerful soul beast in my current state, I'd probably be dead for sure. And this guy still hasn't come back?!

They really risked his safety for a little bit of wild game?!

He really believed Yan Shaozhe's lies. Not only was the person he hired gluttonous and lazy, but he was also so irresponsible.

If even someone like that can become a high-ranking member of the academy, how come Shrek Academy hasn't collapsed yet?

No longer waiting for the other party, feeling the soreness in his limbs, Tang San stood up, patted his buttocks, and prepared to go back to the tent to rest.

Just then, a faint sound mixed in with the chirping of insects, but which was clearly not quite right, caught Tang San's attention.

After listening carefully for a moment, Tang San's eyes gleamed with a faint purple hue as he looked solemnly in a certain direction.

When Tang San saw the giant spider, its body composed of black and white, vaguely visible in the shadows of the forest, a chill ran down his spine.

It was another human-faced demon spider.

Most importantly, the human-faced demon spider in front of him was a size larger than the one with five thousand years of cultivation that he had killed that afternoon.

With just one glance, Tang San judged that this human-faced demon spider's cultivation level was at least ten thousand years.

Just moments ago, he was worried about what to do if he encountered a soul beast he couldn't fight while Elder Xuan was away.

it's good now.

There's absolutely nothing to worry about.

Tang San, I'm really going to die.

Without the slightest hesitation, the moment Tang San saw the human-faced demon spider, he raised his hand and released the distress flare that Yan Shaozhe had given him.

A streak of red light shot into the sky from Tang San's hand. Against the backdrop of the night, it resembled a dazzling meteor flying backwards, climbing higher and higher until it exploded with a bang when it reached a height of several hundred meters.

With a unique explosion that resounded through the sky, countless golden and red specks of light quickly spread out.

The human-faced spider seemed to realize it had been discovered through Tang San's unusual behavior, and immediately let out a piercing screech, charging towards him at incredible speed.

Upon seeing this, Tang San was terrified. His adrenaline surged, forcibly dispelling his fatigue and soreness. He instantly used Ghost Shadow Phantom to flee backward with his head in his hands.

During the process, Tang San noticed a scarlet light flashing in the lower abdomen of the creature, its eyes clearly showing signs of rage. Tang San's heart tightened, and in an instant, he had already roughly guessed why this human-faced demon spider had suddenly appeared here.

He is currently camping at the very spot where the human-faced spider died that afternoon.

Setting up camp where a soul beast dies has advantages, since soul beasts often have a sense of territory, and other soul beasts usually won't set foot in the area until the owner of that territory is confirmed to be dead.

However, this situation is generally only effective for solitary soul beasts, and the situation he is currently facing is undoubtedly the worst kind.

To his and Elder Xuan's surprise, two human-faced demon spiders actually lived on this land. The human-faced demon spider with five thousand years of cultivation that he had personally killed that afternoon was probably closely related to the one in front of him.

She might even be someone's wife.

Anyone who returns from hunting to find their wife's still-warm corpse, and the murderer brazenly sets up camp in their house, would go mad.

The piercing screech made Tang San's head spin. The afternoon's battle had already pushed him to his limit, and he had only barely recovered some of his fighting strength by now.

Forcibly squeezing out every last bit of strength from his body, countless iron weapons gleaming coldly in the moonlight flew from Tang San's hands, only to produce a crisp sound of metal clashing when they landed on the human-faced demon spider.

Although the Human-Faced Demon Spider is not as powerful as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, it is still one of the top-ranked soul beasts in terms of combat strength among its peers. With five thousand years of cultivation, it can rival many soul beasts with more than ten thousand years of cultivation. It is no wonder how terrifying the ten thousand-year-old one in front of us is.

Not to mention that these hidden weapons couldn't even break through the opponent's defenses, even if they could cause damage, the crazed Man-Faced Demon Spider wouldn't care about the pain.

Without any intention of dodging, the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider caught up with Tang San in less than two seconds, and its sharp spider legs stabbed at him without hesitation.

Faced with such a life-or-death crisis, Tang San's expression suddenly turned fierce, his eyes flashing with a murderous light, and he instinctively summoned his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul to fight back.

The moment the jet-black hammer appeared, Tang San swung it at the opponent without hesitation, not at the spider leg that was stabbing at the human-faced demon spider, but at the opponent's body.

Faced with such a disparity in strength, once you resist the attack, it means you've fallen into the opponent's rhythm, and waiting to be taken down will only lead to death.

Only by trading injury for injury, and using the power of the Haotian Hammer to knock the opponent away, can one have a chance to escape.

The next second, Tang San felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. A sharp spider leg, like a spear, pierced deep into his shoulder, as easily as piercing through a block of tofu.

The intense stinging sensation did not frighten him. With a loud bang, the Clear Sky Hammer slammed into the Human-Faced Demon Spider, but it did not send the creature flying as Tang San had expected.

How is that possible?!

Tang San endured the pain and subconsciously looked down at the other person's body, his pupils immediately contracting.

Seemingly due to its anger, the human-faced spider charged forward, and several of its legs sank deep into the ground due to excessive force. At this moment, they served to stabilize the spider in the face of Tang San's attack.

Before Tang San could react, another spider spear pierced through his arm that was holding the Clear Sky Hammer. An indescribable pain surged through him, causing his arm to spasm uncontrollably, and he could no longer hold the hammer.

"ah!!"

With a scream, Elder Xuan's voice, filled with shock and anger, boomed like thunder.

"You beast! Let him go!!!"

However, the terrifying aura did not deter the Man-Faced Demon Spider; instead, it became even more ferocious. Seeing that it might not have a chance, it did not hesitate to bite into Tang San's abdomen. As it tore backward, it pulled out a large chunk of flesh.

Finally, the long-awaited, heavy pressure descended with a thunderous roar.
