In Douluo Continent, there is a proper way to die.

Chapter 122 Do you still remember Ghost's Sorrow?

Bang! !

A muffled thud rang out behind them, startling Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing, who instinctively turned around to look.

What kind of trouble is this guy causing now?!

Tang San held a small black hammer and smashed a crystal-like object on the ground. The force of the smash even cracked the ground below, scattering round, rice-grain-sized golden particles all over the ground.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at it and then looked away. She didn't think Tang San could turn the tide, but she noticed that Bai Chenxiang's expression changed drastically.

Hao... Haotian Hammer?!

Others might not recognize it, but Bai Chenxiang, who comes from the Min clan, could not possibly not recognize it. Although the Min clan was poor, they did not neglect the education that Bai Chenxiang needed. They had collected images of many famous martial souls in the soul master world, especially the martial souls of the three upper sects!

...That kid has the legendary twin martial souls?!

Bai Chenxiang's pupils contracted for a moment, then she immediately turned around and quickly followed Yin Lan, whispering, "Sister Lan, it's..."

"I know, don't be afraid," Yinlan waved her hand, still looking calm and collected. "You're my person, I'll protect you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Chenxiang glanced at Tang San one last time with a slight sense of unease before staying close to Yin Lan, never leaving her side.

In the eyes of the outside world, although the Haotian Sect has been in seclusion for twelve years, it is still the number one sect in the world. She doesn't know why she ran into the disciples of the Haotian Sect at this time, but in any case, the Haotian Sect is not an enemy that her Min clan can resist.

This is also a kind of "perception barrier." At a time when the Spirit Hall and the Star Dou Great Forest are hiding their strength, the past glory of the Clear Sky Sect is still imprinted in the hearts of the Soul Masters, which is unmatched by ordinary forces.

Bai Chenxiang didn't know what kind of powerful backer the Po, Min, and Yu clans had secured, but since Yinlan had said so, she could only get closer to him to ease the unease in her heart.

On the other side, the small hammer in Tang San's left hand disappeared in an instant. An unusual excitement appeared on his face, and even the pain coming from all over his body was suppressed by this excitement and temporarily ignored by him.

With a flick of his wrists, he used the "Controlling Cranes and Capturing Dragons" technique to extract ten golden particles from the ground, precisely clamping one particle under each fingernail. Then he looked up at Yinlan's back.

The four girls, each with their own unique charm, walked away with their backs to him. Only the girl with the less-than-ideal figure would occasionally turn back to glance at him, her eyes filled with a disgust that stung his heart.

The Haotian Sect has already caused such a terrible mess to the four major single-attribute clans, and this guy, who is suspected to be a "Haotian Sect disciple," is causing trouble by abusing his power without any regard for right or wrong. Bai Chenxiang already has a lot of grievances against the Haotian Sect, so it would be strange if she gave him a friendly look.

But Tang San was unaware of all this. He believed that his talent far surpassed that of ordinary people, and was incomparable to the natives in this world who could only cultivate through hard meditation. The gazes that met his eyes should be filled with appreciation and admiration, not like this, ending in a disheveled and regretful manner!

The throbbing pains throughout his body brought Tang San back to his senses. The excitement on his face vanished, replaced by his usual calm demeanor, making him appear like a refined gentleman.

He endured the pain and shakily got up from the ground. His eyes were cold and fierce. Under Dai Mubai's gaze, which looked like his mother had died, he suddenly flicked his ten fingers. Ten thin golden lights flashed in the air and went straight for Yin Lan's vital points.

Underestimating me will come at a price!

Use your life to sacrifice for the top ten hidden weapons of the Tang Clan!

The eighth item in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu's list of hidden weapon solutions is the Dragon Beard Needle, which is specifically designed to break through protective qi. In short, any defensive measure is nothing but a clay chicken or a tile dog in front of it!

No matter how unique the girl's martial spirit is, it is ultimately a kind of "defense". At the age of twelve, it is impossible for her to have the power to resist the Dragon Beard Needle!

Although he had never seen her face before, she had offended Tang Clan members. Since she was destined to die, he could only let her perish here, filled with resentment. As a disciple of Tang Clan, her physical appearance could not affect his cold and iron-like heart!

"You absolutely cannot escape this move!" Tang San said confidently, a slight smile playing on his lips, but the throbbing pain in his body stopped his smile.

What a vicious woman! With such a beautiful face, she's so ruthless. She must be no good person. They say beautiful women bring trouble. To prevent her from harming the world in the future, my actions are righteous, a way of doing justice and eliminating this scourge for humanity!

The peculiar liquid metal, resembling emerald crystal, reappeared behind the girl, automatically expanding to form a protective shield. Ten faint golden lights flashed past and disappeared into it.

"It's done!" Tang San's eyes shone with confidence. The Tang Clan's hidden weapons are the culmination of generations of inheritance, a masterpiece that embodies the wisdom of the Tang Clan's predecessors. How could a little girl like you possibly resist them?

"If I were to act on a whim," Tang San clenched his fists, prematurely declaring his victory, "that would be enough to take your life!"

Yinlan stopped in her tracks.

The expected screams of agony from the girl did not reach their ears for a long time.

Within just a few breaths, Tang San keenly sensed that something was wrong.

What...what happened?

Is she alright? How is that possible?

It wasn't until Yinlan slowly turned to look at him, her cold eyes sweeping over his body, that his face stiffened, looking incredulous.

"Unorthodox methods... is all you know how to do is sneak attacks?" Yin Lan stretched out a hand, and the golden essence of life floating in mid-air condensed into a ball, hovering above her palm.

She had no idea about Tang San's "self-brainwashing." If she did, she would definitely complain about which Tang Sect he belonged to. Did the Tang Sect teach him how to occupy the moral high ground?

Tang San stared intently, and with his excellent eyesight, he clearly saw that the ten dragon whisker needles he had shot out had returned to their round shape, encased in the liquid metal.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

...The Dragon Whisker Needles...didn't break through her defenses! What kind of martial spirit is this?! What's wrong with this woman?!

The Life Gold spat out ten golden spheres one by one, which landed in Yin Lan's palm. Yin Lan moved her palm in front of her and narrowed her eyes.

If she were truly just an "ordinary Soul Master" like Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang beside her, the Dragon Beard Needle entering her body would either kill her or cripple her.

Especially since she is a girl, she is quite concerned about her appearance. Without the special techniques of the Tang Clan, the only way to deal with the Dragon Beard Needle is to cut off her own flesh to save her life.

Yinlan opened her mouth, but then swallowed it back, feeling somewhat frustrated. She wanted to say something but held back, as if the fact that she shared the same mother was limiting her ability to express herself.

It's a pity that the "plate crystal," the material used to make dragon whisker needles, also known as "rutilated quartz" or "plate crystal," has a formal name in the future era of fierce competition—titanium crystal.

This item has extremely high compatibility. It can be upgraded to "Titanium" by simply undergoing spirit forging, arranging the gold inside (dragon whisker needles), and then refining and forging it.

This thing is a "universal enhancement stone". Items enhanced by it can gain at least 50% more power than before!

In the era of Douluo III, a blacksmith once said that anyone who used titanium crystal to make dragon whisker needles was an idiot (laughs). And this thing was still a scarce resource in the interstellar era of Douluo IV, and was strictly controlled by the Douluo Federation.

However, now is the era of Douyi, and apart from Yinlan, no one knows the true value of this thing.

But for Yinlan now, this thing is neither useful nor worth discarding, because she doesn't know spirit forging, she doesn't have any battle armor, and she won't need it even after she becomes a god.

She's aiming to become the "Creator God." Now that she has all the resources of Douluo Star under her control, there's no need for her to waste time and effort researching battle armor. That's the goal of future Douluo people, not hers. She just needs to become a god step by step without relying on such external things.

All she could do was offer the blacksmiths in the blacksmith association upstairs an idea, letting them figure out how to develop forging techniques themselves.

The dragon whisker needles could not break through the defense of the living metal, because the living metal was not what Tang San imagined it to be, some kind of "protective qi". It was just pure metal.

The dragon whisker needle didn't penetrate its defenses before; rather, it was "captured" and contained by the dragon.

Even if the Dragon Whisker Needle really pierces through it, it will still perish before Yinlan's "Mutual Generation Domain". This ability, which can be described as "absolute defense", has been automatically activated ever since Yinlan obtained it.

And now...

"You said your name is Tang San?" Ten golden orbs, supported by Yin Lan's soul power, floated above her palm. The next second, they suddenly transformed into ten golden needles as thin as hair. "I've just remembered something."

...?! Tang San looked at the "Dragon Whiskers Needle" that had reappeared in the girl's hand with some surprise and uncertainty. For some reason, a bad premonition rose in his heart.

"I think I've seen this before, but it shouldn't be something that people in this world could make..." Yin Lan lowered her head, frowned, and looked like she was thinking. Then she suddenly raised her head, revealing a meaningful smile, and looked directly at Tang San.

The air fell silent again, and an eerie atmosphere of silence arose between the two. But for some reason, Tang San felt the pain in his body become clearer, which made his breathing become heavier.

He only felt a sense of shame.

He couldn't understand what the girl was trying to say, but he knew he had lost, utterly lost. Even using his prized Tang Clan hidden weapons, he couldn't...

"You said your name is Tang San, right?" Yin Lan suddenly repeated herself, then her eyes flashed with a faint purple light familiar to Tang San, and she uttered a sentence that made Tang San's heart stop, "I remember this thing is called... Dragon Whisker Needle?"

Tang San's breath suddenly stopped for a moment, his eyes widened in horror, his pupils trembled, and he could hear his own heart pounding wildly as if it were about to burst out of his mouth. A look of panic and despair appeared on his face, and he took several steps back.

...The Purple Demon Eye?! Its cultivation level is even higher than his?! How is that possible?!

He recalled the general outline of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu again, trying to calm himself down, but the extreme fear brought with it extreme anger. Before he could express the shock in his heart, Yin Lan moved first.

With familiar movements and techniques, at this moment, Yin Lan's figure seemed to overlap with a figure deeply buried in Tang San's memory. Ten golden rays flashed by and pierced into his body along the same path.

Terrifying bulges appeared all over Tang San's body. Where the Dragon Beard Needles struck, the muscles twisted together in a grotesque manner, as if they were tied in a knot.

Tang San's consciousness even briefly became distorted. Despite his pride in having lived two lives, he had never experienced such painful torment. He let out a sharp scream, as if he wanted to scream his throat out.

His body crashed to the ground, curling up in a ball. He wanted to just lose consciousness and fall into a coma, but Yinlan's voice rang in his ears again like a ghost, stimulating him to stay awake and causing him unbearable pain.

Do you still remember Ghost's Sorrow?

Tang San's face became even more ferocious, completely unrecognizable from his former pure and innocent appearance. He looked at Dai Mubai for help, crying out in despair, "Knock me out... knock me out... please!!"

"Oh? I almost forgot about you," Yin Lan said with a smile, turning her head to look at Dai Mubai, who was still pretending to be dead. This startled Dai Mubai, sending a chill down his spine. "What should I do with you?"

Dai Mubai cursed Tang San in his heart, and seeing Tang San's miserable state, he felt utterly desperate. With a mournful face, he looked at Yin Lan and said, "Grandma, my dear grandma, please just let me go!"

"I didn't ask you." Yinlan's smile remained unchanged.

"Spare his life," Zhu Zhuqing said, looking at Dai Mubai lying on the ground like a dead dog with the same disdainful gaze. "I will take his life with my own hands."

She risked her life to escape from the Star Luo Empire, and this guy is just here indulging in debauchery? Although she didn't have high expectations for Dai Mubai to begin with, how could she swallow this insult after learning about his situation?

Previously, she couldn't overstep her bounds and act arbitrarily, but now that Yinlan had given her the opportunity to make a decision, she naturally had to make her own choice.

"Fine," Yinlan shrugged, turned and left, "I'll do as you say."

...Having narrowly escaped death, Dai Mubai was too far away to hear what Zhu Zhuqing said, but seeing Yin Lan turn and leave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking with lingering fear at Xiao Wu, who was still unconscious, and Tang San, who was still wailing.

In that instant, to everyone's surprise, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly moved.

Black cat ears and a cat tail appeared on her body, and two yellow spirit rings rose one after another. The first spirit ring flashed, and she instantly turned into a blur, appearing in front of Dai Mubai. One of her long legs was raised high, above her head.

First Soul Skill - Netherworld Thrust: Speed ​​+100%!

"You...you are?!" Dai Mubai's mind went blank. The next second, Zhu Zhuqing stomped down with her raised leg, and the sound of flesh and blood exploding rang out.

"Ah!!!" An even more miserable scream than Tang San's rang out. Under the impact of pain that exceeded the threshold, Dai Mubai's eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.

"But I have to collect the interest." Zhu Zhuqing ground the iron again viciously, leaving a trail of blood under her feet.

Yinlan's eyelids twitched, and she felt a little nauseous: "You'll need to change your shoes in a bit."
