Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 354 The Gap Between Cheating and Genuine Talent

Hearing Tang San's taunts, Xiao Yu scoffed, "Tang San, you're someone who only managed to ascend to godhood by cheating. Where do you get the confidence to look down on others? If the Sea God hadn't gone easy on you, you wouldn't have reached this level even in ten thousand years!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Tang San's expression turned cold. Although Xiao Yu was telling the truth, and Tang San had realized this during the assessment, how could the proud and arrogant Tang God King possibly admit it?

"Xiao Yu, now all you can do is talk. Today, I will avenge my father, mother, aunt, teacher, and all my comrades who died at your hands!"

Xiao Yu raised his right hand in front of him, blew on it lightly, and said, "You think you can take this? Have you forgotten the two slaps I gave you before? I'll let you taste them again today!"

"You're asking for it!"

Xiao Yu's attitude made Tang San involuntarily recall the times he had been slapped in public by Xiao Yu during their previous meetings, a humiliation he could never erase from his life.

Tang San's face was flushed red with anger, and his breathing became rapid and heavy, like a wild beast ready to devour its prey at any moment.

Xiao Yu chuckled, stretched out his hand, and beckoned with his finger, adopting a dog-walking expression. His words shattered the last vestige of reason in Tang San's mind: "You know, that old rabbit who used to follow you around causing trouble also died at my hands. Back then, I had someone create an illusion using mental attacks, then transformed into your appearance, pretending to be desperate. That silly rabbit was truly devoted to you; he sacrificed himself for me, granting me an unprecedented 100,000-year-old Martial Soul True Body!"

"Ah! I'll kill you!"

Tang San appeared as if he had gone mad, and his eyes suddenly turned blood red.

Xiao Wu, his Xiao Wu, it turns out she also died at Xiao Yu's hands!

"Mu Bai, that old guy is yours!"

A terrifying divine power surged forth in an instant. Tang San turned his head and shouted at Dai Mubai, his figure rushing out like lightning, and in the blink of an eye he had already rushed to Xiao Yu's side.

A chilling killing intent emanated from the trident of Poseidon, and it slashed down with a thunderous roar.

"Tang San, today I'm going to teach you just how big the difference is between someone like you who cheats to increase their strength and someone who cultivates step by step!"

With a cold laugh, Xiao Yu swept out the Death God's Scythe in his hand.

With a loud clang, Tang San was sent flying, blood trickling from his tiger's mouth.

"How is that possible?"

Tang San's expression changed drastically. They were both gods, but the difference between them was just too great.

Xiao Yu wore a disdainful smile: "Tang San, I've already said, your godhood was forcibly given to you through cheating. Your foundation is unstable, and you're not even in the same league as those of us who reached godhood through our own strength!"

As he spoke, he gestured towards the other side with his lip: "Your good brother is in the same situation as you, possessing a divine position but unable to unleash the true power of a god!"

Tang San glanced to the side and saw that Dai Mubai and Qian Daoliu were already locked in battle. Qian Daoliu, relying on his rich combat experience and skillful control of divine power, was toying with the dignified second-level god, the God of War, and the one-sided situation that Tang San had imagined was not happening at all.

"No, that's impossible! I don't believe it!"

Tang Shenwang was never someone who could withstand setbacks. When he saw that the situation was not as he had imagined, his mentality immediately collapsed.

"Xiao Yu, I want you dead! Go to hell!"

With a roar, the Sea God Armor on Tang Shenwang exploded and reassembled in mid-air. Tang San himself transformed into a blue light, becoming part of the assembly and merging with the Sea God Trident.

The trident of Poseidon more than doubled in size in an instant, and its original blue color disappeared, turning into the purest and most transparent gold.

The final move of the Golden Thirteen Forms of the Trident of Poseidon: Body and halberd become one, and the stars shift and the constellations move.

A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from the tip of the main blade of the golden trident, slashing fiercely towards Xiao Yu in mid-air.

"What's the use of shouting if you don't have the ability?"

Xiao Yu sneered, and terrifying crimson light surged from his body, converging into the demonic scythe in his hand. He suddenly swung it out, unleashing a crimson crescent slash that met the trident head-on.

Click~ Click~

The Demon Scythe and the Trident collided head-on. Cracks appeared one after another on the Sea God Trident, which shone with dazzling golden light. Tang San, who was integrated into the Trident, was hit hard and was thrown out of the Trident by the attack of the Death Demon Scythe.

Without the nourishment of Tang San's soul, the Trident of the Sea God instantly reverted to its original form and flew backwards following Tang San.

"Damn it, why, why!"

Tang San, who was flying backward, grabbed the trident and barely stopped in mid-air, and couldn't help but roar to the sky.

"Why? Didn't I already tell you the reason?"

Xiao Yu flashed over, his gaze towards Tang San filled with disdain. Such a weak-willed guy who only knew how to take shortcuts was not worth dealing with seriously.

It's a shame that Xiao Yu regarded him as a great enemy when he first transmigrated. Now it seems that if it weren't for his wild father, the Asura God, forcibly feeding him, what merit would Tang San have to reach the top of the God Realm?

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Enraged, Tang San raised the Trident of the Sea God and instantly blasted away the ten spirit rings surrounding him. The energy from the blasted rings poured into Tang San's body, making his aura even stronger and causing his body to swell.

The golden trident shifted and changed in the air like an illusion, its extremely profound moves executed in one go, instantly creating countless halberd shadows.

The strongest strike of the Golden Thirteen Halberds, the thirteen halberds combined into one, is the Twilight of the Sea God.

Tang San's entire body, including the Sea God Armor, had turned into a strange yellow crystal color. A huge yellow beam of light suddenly shot out from his body, its target being Xiao Yu, whom he hated to the core.

"Tang San, I'll say it again: how can a cheater compare to someone like us who has improved step by step? The power of your move is only slightly stronger than that Sea God's Divine Sense from the Spirit Hall back in Qingyun City!"

A chilling killing intent emanated from Xiao Yu's body, and the surrounding temperature plummeted at that moment. If anyone dared to approach Xiao Yu at this time, even a god-level expert would be frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant.

The Death Scythe expanded in an instant, its blood-red light obscuring half the sky. All the energy in the air was frantically pouring into the Death Scythe, and a huge blade of light, as if about to split the heavens and the earth, slashed down from the sky.
