Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 354 Coincidence

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the night is cool as water.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Bibi Dong led four Title Douluos away from Wuhun City, following the auras of Tang Hao and Tang San.

Further away, the figures of Su Cheng and Su Yue could still be seen.

They weren't following secretly, but with Bibi Dong's permission to "broaden their horizons," though they had to stay far away because of their lower strength.

Based on their apparent cultivation levels, their speed naturally couldn't keep up with the group of Title Douluos, but Tang San and his son were ahead of them, so being stronger than Tang San was enough.

After leaving Wuhun City and confirming that no one was around and they wouldn't be noticed by anyone with ulterior motives, Bibi Dong and the others began to speed up and caught up with them in no time.

As the distance between them closed, Tang Hao also noticed several powerful auras emanating from behind him.

The only force capable of dispatching so many Title Douluos is undoubtedly the Spirit Hall.

He instantly realized that he had been exposed, so he stopped and turned around to protect Tang San behind him.

At this point, continuing to flee forward is pointless and will only expose your back; it's better to face the enemy head-on.

Letting Tang San escape alone is not an option either. With Tang San's strength, there's no way he could escape the pursuit of a Title Douluo; leaving him would only make things more dangerous.

Given Tang Hao's combat experience, he would naturally not make such a basic mistake.

A moment later, Bibi Dong and the others descended from the sky. Without any intention of wasting words, they immediately summoned their respective martial souls, and several powerful soul skills attacked in an instant.

The Death Spider King's venomous silk, the shadows of two coiled dragon staffs, the ghostly daggers shooting through the air, the colorful light scattered by the rare and precious Chrysanthemum...

Faced with this offensive, Tang Hao's expression changed drastically, and the harsh words he originally wanted to say were swallowed back down.

With a flick of his wrist, the Haotian Hammer expanded more than tenfold in an instant, and he swept it forward, gripping the handle tightly with both hands.

"boom--"

With a huge and prolonged roar, vegetation and boulders flew everywhere, and a deep crater appeared in the ground.

Tang Hao stood in the center of the pit, his muscular arms trembling slightly, and the outer legs of his trousers, which were supporting his lower body, were ripped open, revealing his two thick calves.

Bibi Dong did not step forward. She glanced at Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo, and said in a deep voice, "Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder."

The two elders immediately understood, their spirit rings flashing beneath their feet as they charged straight at Tang Hao, wielding their dragon-patterned staffs.

This was a tactic that had been planned long ago.

They started by launching a wide-range attack to suppress the opponent's momentum and greatly deplete his soul power. Then, Qianjun and Jiangmo took action, while the others provided support from all sides.

This would put pressure on Tang Hao and prevent him from either fighting to the death or escaping.

This is the safest tactic.

After all, in terms of pure strength, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are definitely no match for Tang Hao.

As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong is clearly not suitable to lead the charge, nor is it necessary for her.

As for swarming in, the combat effect might not be much better. With the level of tacit understanding between the Thousand-Pound Demon-Slaying brothers, they were already capable of defeating or even killing Tang Hao.

Even if that's not possible, they can use a war of attrition, waiting until both sides are exhausted before letting Bibi Dong take over and clean up the mess.

Seeing this, Tang San, standing behind Tang Hao, looked at the Spirit Hall members with eyes blazing with fury, but was helpless.

His current cultivation level is too low. If he joins the battlefield casually, he will only distract Tang Hao. In fact, once he leaves Tang Hao's protection range, he might be killed directly.

For the time being, he could only take out hidden weapons from his soul tool and wait for an opportunity to strike, forcing himself to calm down and silently looking for a suitable time to make a move.

But at this moment, Tang Hao no longer cared about Tang San's thoughts.

He could only do his best to protect his son behind him and face the two Douluo alone.

The moment the battle began, Tang Hao decisively destroyed his fifth and sixth ten-thousand-year soul rings, pushing his cultivation and combat power to the limit.

Even so, he was still no match for Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo.

The two enshrined martial spirits, the Panlong Staff, are not much inferior to the Haotian Hammer in terms of quality. They are only slightly inferior because they do not have the extremely powerful matching spirit skill, the "Great Sumeru Hammer".

However, the disparity in numbers and cultivation levels between the two sides was undeniable. Tang Hao also had internal injuries and needed to guard against the other three members of the Spirit Hall, making it difficult for him to achieve his full potential. After only a few dozen rounds, he was completely suppressed and at a disadvantage.

His unkempt, unkempt face was deathly pale, with blood oozing from his mouth and nose. Even his seventh spirit ring had been forced to explode, and his swaying body was nearing its limit.

"Is this all the accident you're talking about?" Su Yue glanced at Su Cheng, her expression somewhat disdainful.

The battle situation ahead is clear at a glance.

Despite his current strength and ability to barely hold on, Tang Hao is actually nearing his limit.

In less than ten rounds, he will reach the peak of his power and then decline, quickly falling into defeat.

"They're here."

Su Cheng suddenly turned his head to look in another direction.

His attention wasn't really on the battlefield at the front; besides keeping an eye on Tang San, he was mostly observing the changes in his surroundings.

Sure enough, the reinforcements arrived, albeit late.

A hint of surprise, tinged with mockery, flashed in his eyes.

It turns out that Tang San's saviors were actually them; what a coincidence!

Soon, Su Yue also noticed the commotion in the distance, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Before her, Bibi Dong and the others, who were stronger, had already sensed the two powerful auras approaching rapidly.

Its energy fluctuations were far stronger than those of Chrysanthemum and Ghost, and even stronger than those of Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo.

The sound of giant beasts charging across the ground began to appear, and then quickly grew louder.

In just a moment, a black giant ape the size of a small mountain came galloping over, its jet-black fur shimmering faintly in the moonlight.

As it charged forward, it casually pushed aside the large trees blocking its path.

Those hardwood trunks, some tens of meters tall, were as fragile as withered branches and rotten leaves in his hands.

The giant ape was on all fours, yet its shoulder height still exceeded seven meters, and its body length was over fifteen meters. On its shoulder sat a pretty young girl in a white dress.

Despite the giant ape's incredible speed, its upper body remained remarkably stable. The girl sat there motionless, with only her long scorpion braid fluttering in the passing air currents.

Behind this giant black ape was an even more terrifying behemoth.

The enormous bull's head, over four meters in diameter, was connected to a thick snake body thirty meters long. Its dark green scales gleamed with a cold light, making it clearly much stronger than the giant ape.

Xiao Wu, Titan Ape, and Azure Bull Python!

Xiao Wu knew when the Soul Master Competition would end.

After the competition began, although she did not participate in the competition with the Shrek Academy students, she stayed in the academy until shortly before Tang San and the others went to Wuhun City to participate in the finals. Then she found an excuse to return to the Star Dou Great Forest.

As the finals ended, she originally intended to go directly to find Tang San, but the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts were worried about her safety and decided to escort her for a while, and then put her down when they got nearby, so that she could return to human society and reunite with Tang San.

Unexpectedly, on their way there, they sensed several powerful auras clashing violently and discovered the presence of Tang Hao, Tang San, and the Spirit Hall members.

After informing Xiao Wu about this, the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python came to help at her request.

"Two 100,000-year-old soul beasts?! What kind of soul beast is following behind the Titan Giant Ape?"

"No, there are three."

Apart from Tang San, everyone present was a Title Douluo, so they could immediately discern the situation and their faces all showed a hint of solemnity.

The Titan Ape's strength is undeniable; it's a powerful spirit beast recorded by the Spirit Hall, a genius race capable of fighting beyond its level. The bull-headed, snake-bodied spirit beast following behind, of unknown species, seems to be even stronger.

If Xiao Wu's appearance can be considered an unexpected bonus, then the other two powerful 100,000-year-old soul beasts have made the situation somewhat unpredictable.

The same applies to Bibi Dong.

She was currently suppressed by the Rakshasa Divine Test and could not unleash her full strength. Moreover, even if she could kill all three soul beasts here, with her accumulated power, she would absolutely not be able to directly add three 100,000-year soul rings to the Soul Devouring Spider King.

At the same time, Tang Hao and the two elders, sensing the changes in the external situation, tacitly stopped fighting for the time being.

Tang Hao was finally able to catch his breath and immediately began to work against the clock to heal his old injuries that were about to burst.

"roar!"

Upon arriving at the scene, the Titan Ape stood up straight and roared angrily at Bibi Dong and the others.

Those bright yellow eyes suddenly lit up, like two suns in the night, and a mountain-like aura was released without restraint.

The heavy breaths emanating from its mouth caused the surrounding trees to bend in all directions.

"Xiao Wu!"

Seeing the graceful figure on the giant ape's shoulder, Tang San, standing behind Tang Hao, had a slight change in expression and was momentarily stunned.

The change happened so fast that he couldn't react for a moment. He didn't understand why Xiao Wu was with the Titan Ape he had encountered before, and they seemed to be quite intimate.

And why did they suddenly appear at this moment...?

"elder brother!"

At this moment, Xiao Wu leaped down from the giant ape's shoulder and pounced into Tang San's arms, then quickly began to explain what had happened in a low voice.

As he spoke, he glanced at the other person with a hint of worry, concerned that Tang San might not be able to accept the fact that he was a transformed soul beast.

Actually, Xiao Wu didn't want to reveal her true form like this, but when she learned of the danger Tang San was in, she couldn't care less about such trivial matters and rushed over with the two great soul beasts.

On the other side, just as the young boy and girl were talking in hushed tones, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, Xiao Wu's two iron-clad henchmen, had already made their move.

Seeing that Tang Hao was still recuperating, the Titan Giant Ape pounced forward first.

The next moment, both Qianjun and Jiangmo Douluo felt that the surrounding environment instantly became tense.

My body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead, and my speed suddenly decreased. All the light and color in front of me seemed to be slightly distorted.

Titan Ape's Gravity Domain!

This is the extraordinary talent and foundation of the uniquely endowed soul beast race.

Moreover, the Titan Ape's gravity field is different from ordinary gravity-based soul skills. It can freely control changes in gravity, magnifying or shrinking them. Although it hasn't reached the level of manipulating the direction of gravity, it is still extremely terrifying.

Titan Ape threw a punch straight at Demon-Slaying Douluo.

All the earth-elemental elements in the surrounding air seemed to have been concentrated in this punch.

Under normal circumstances, the best way to deal with such an attack is to dodge first, wait for the attacker to exhaust their strength, and then make a counter-attack.

However, due to the effect of the gravity field, the speed of the Demon-Slaying Douluo was greatly reduced, and it was difficult for him to completely dodge for a while. He could only choose to raise his staff to take the hit head-on.

The Thousand-Pound Douluo, who was further away, was also trapped within the domain and unable to provide support.

Looking at the long staff swinging in front of him, the giant ape's yellow crystal eyes flashed slightly. The gravity that had been increased tenfold suddenly disappeared, and the gravity that had been increased tenfold was instantly reduced tenfold.

This gave the Demon-Slaying Douluo, who was struggling to break free of control, no chance to react. Not only did his movements with the Panlong Staff become distorted, but he also accelerated and crashed into the terrifying fist of the Titan Giant Ape.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong and the others naturally wouldn't stand idly by, and they all used their Martial Soul True Forms to join the battle.

At this moment, the azure light on the surface of the Azure Bull Python spread outwards, and another domain was formed, the Slow Domain!

Tang Hao keenly sensed the opportunity. He already knew Xiao Wu and understood that these two soul beasts were friendly reinforcements.

Without resting or recovering, he gritted his teeth, swung the Clear Sky Hammer, and charged forward...

Looking at the increasingly chaotic battlefield ahead, Su Cheng sighed softly, "So that's how it is..."

Actually, there's no need to watch any further; Bibi Dong's operation was destined to fail.

Even now, the Spirit Hall's strength still firmly surpasses that of the opposing side, but it is no longer an absolutely crushing match.

Even in the previous situation, unexpected events could occur. Now that things have progressed to this point and everything is starting to turn around, it is even less likely that Tang San will be killed today.

Unless he takes action himself.

"I told you there would be unexpected surprises."

"That's true, but isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

Su Yue still frowned, staring at the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts not far ahead.

To be honest, before meeting Xiao Wu in Maple Town, Su Yue didn't know who Xiao Wu was, but she had heard about the existence of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, two exceptionally talented 100,000-year-old soul beasts, from Di Tian.

However, these two soul beasts have only recently crossed the threshold of 100,000 years, and we have not yet recruited them.

Xiao Wu, Titan Giant Ape, and Azure Bull Python are all of similar cultivation levels. The latter two are exceptionally talented and cultivate faster, but they are still peers and it's understandable that they have a close relationship.

Considering that Xiao Wu developed feelings for Tang San after transforming into human form, and that Wuhun City and the Star Dou Great Forest are located at the border of the two great empires and are not too far apart, it seems logical that Xiao Wu and her brothers came to help Tang San when he was in trouble.

However, the course of events defied common sense.

Putting aside the fact that the timing was so coincidental, they appeared precisely at a critical moment.

Even at a different time, would two 100,000-year-old soul beasts be able to leave the Star Dou Great Forest so easily and be exposed to human soul masters?

For Soul Masters, a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast is undoubtedly a supreme treasure.

No matter how strong they are, there are only two of them, and they are not strong enough to reach the level of a Limit Douluo.

But there are at least twenty human titled Douluo, so how dare they?

Even if anyone were to discover any trace of this process, it would inevitably leave behind a huge hidden danger.

Logically speaking, someone who can cultivate steadily to the level of 100,000 years must have lived for at least tens of thousands of years, growing slowly from a weak age. How could they be so careless?
