Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

But the situation is beyond his control now. The sword energy that Sword Douluo has condensed is still hidden deep in his spiritual sea, and Chrysanthemum Douluo dares not make any rash moves.

As for seeking refuge with Bibi Dong again... Chrysanthemum Douluo never even considered such a thought.

How could he not know Bibi Dong's character? To betray and then surrender again would truly be a righteous death.

Although Chrysanthemum Douluo had no intention of rebelling, Dugu Bo was clearly not trying to reason with him, but rather to warn him.

This old poisoner has been regretting coming to watch this spectacle ever since he saw the big battle between Bibi Dong and Tang Hao.

Ultimately, Dugu Bo was not at ease with Bibi Dong.

"You bastard..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness, and said, "You're thinking too much."

"I hope I'm just overthinking it."

Dugu Bo snorted, turned around and continued walking forward, urging, "Let's go quickly."

The two then continued walking forward.

There were also some cardinals from the Spirit Hall scattered around, and they were conducting a thorough search of the area.

In order not to reveal their whereabouts, Dugu Bo and Ju Douluo could not fly away directly from the sky. They could only stay close to the ground and, with the cover of the shadows of the trees and the night, sneak out little by little.

They walked for about half an hour before finally breaking through the encirclement set up by the Spirit Hall.

The cardinals' search area seemed to be mainly concentrated in the central part of the region (the encirclement was created to search for Tang San), while the outer perimeter was much less vigilant.

Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speed up when he suddenly stopped, his whole body rooted to the spot like a nail.

He turned his head to the side, his ears twitching slightly.

"what happened?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately became alert.

"Someone is coming."

Dugu Bo's voice was so low it was like a mosquito's hum as he said, "Hide."

Before he finished speaking, he had already withdrawn all his soul power, and with a flicker of his body, he silently flashed behind an ancient tree that was large enough for several people to hug.

Chrysanthemum Douluo reacted quickly as well, following up at almost the same time.

The two of them hid in the shadow of the tree trunk, one on each side, suppressing their breathing to a minimum.

Heavy footsteps echoed through the woods, the sound muffled and rhythmic, like the movement of some enormous creature.

Immediately afterwards, the bushes were roughly pushed aside, and a huge blue figure emerged from the darkness.

Azure Bull Python

Its massive body looked even more disheveled than usual, its blue scales covered in wounds, some of which were still oozing blood.

Its breathing was heavy and rapid, clearly indicating that it was nearing its limit.

On the broad back of the azure ox python sat a man and a woman, both of their clothes covered in mud and fallen leaves.

Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Dugu Bo's pupils contracted slightly, and he silently uttered a few words: "Azure Bull Python...and Tang San and Xiao Wu."

At this moment, Xiao Wu was nestled in Tang San's arms, her shoulders heaving as she cried bitterly.

She covered her mouth with her hand, her voice muffled and broken: "Third Brother... Erming... he stayed behind alone... to shield us from that person..."

"Xiao Wu..."

Tang San put his arm around Xiao Wu's shoulder, wanting to say something to comfort her, but he swallowed the words back.

When the Titan Ape stayed behind to intercept the six-winged angel, Tang San knew in his heart that the danger of that battle would be extraordinary.

But Tang San dared not think too deeply about it, nor could he bear to.

He could only hold Xiaowu's shoulders tightly, using silence to replace all the words he couldn't say.

The Azure Bull Python slowed its pace and asked in a deep voice, "Sister Xiaowu, which way do we go now?"

Xiao Wu raised her head, her eyes blurred with tears, and looked around before turning to Tang San: "Third Brother, what do you think?"

Tang San pondered for a moment, quickly reviewing the surrounding terrain and the possible directions the Spirit Hall might pursue him in his mind.

They are still some distance from the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, but the Azure Bull Python is too big a target. If they take it with them, they will be caught up sooner or later.

“Azure Bull Python,” Tang San looked up at the huge bull head, “you can just take us to the edge of the forest.”

"Once you get there, hide deep inside and never show yourself again."

"Even if you lead us, we won't get very far."

The Azure Bull Python nodded: "Okay, I—"

Before the words were finished, a sharp shout suddenly erupted from the depths of the dense forest behind them.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Two figures shot out from the darkness at an astonishing speed, covering dozens of feet in the blink of an eye.

The Thousand-Pound Douluo and the Demon-Slaying Douluo, each wielding a Dragon-Coiling Staff, blocked the retreat route from the left and right.

Behind them, five or six cardinals emerged from the dense forest in single file, spreading out in a fan shape, subtly forming an encirclement.

Previously, Bibi Dong stayed by Qian Renxue's side to protect her, while the two Douluo, Qian Jun Jiang Mo, led the cardinals in pursuit.

Along the way, they spared no effort in expending their soul power, but in the end, they still managed to catch up.

Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo exchanged a glance, and their two soul powers of the same origin instantly merged.

The two dragon-coiled staffs crossed and pressed against each other in the hands of the two men. Golden light burst out from the staffs, intertwining and condensing into a golden dragon tens of feet long in the blink of an eye.

That day, the awakened golden dragon shone with golden light, its eyes were like torches, and it opened its huge mouth and let out a deafening roar.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Heavenly Awakening Sacred Golden Dragon".

The golden dragon, with overwhelming force, charged straight at the blue ox python.

Before the Azure Bull Python could think, it swung its massive body violently, throwing Tang San and Xiao Wu far ahead.

The two tumbled several times in mid-air and staggered a few steps when they landed, but managed to regain their balance.

"You guys go first!"

The Azure Bull Python let out a low roar, and a faint ripple suddenly appeared on its single horn. The ripple spread outwards from the horn without a sound.

"Soul Skill: Slowing Wave".

The golden dragon plunged headlong into the ripples, its lightning-fast momentum suddenly halting, as if it had been held down by an invisible hand.

The golden light on the dragon's body was still flowing, and its claws were still waving, but every movement was several beats slower, as sluggish and clumsy as if it were swimming in water.

"The Great Ming Dynasty!"

After landing, Xiao Wu turned around abruptly and saw the Azure Bull Python fighting two opponents by itself, and her eyes reddened again.

"Xiao Wu, run!"

Tang San grabbed Xiao Wu's arm and pulled her forcefully toward the edge of the forest.

"We can't leave."

A cold voice came from ahead.

Five or six cardinals emerged from behind the trees and bushes, all of them at the Soul Douluo level, each with seven or eight Soul Rings shining on them, completely blocking Tang San and Xiao Wu's path.

Tang San looked around, his face contorted with bitterness.

With ambushes ahead and pursuers behind, the Azure Bull Python was entangled by two Title Douluos. It was virtually impossible for him and a Xiao Wu in poor condition to deal with five or six Soul Douluos.

"Roar--"

The Azure Bull Python was enraged.

The enormous dragon's mouth suddenly opened, and a blinding white light condensed within it, growing brighter and more intense. Within the white light, one could vaguely see the four elements of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning intertwining and colliding with each other, emitting a deep rumble.

"Soul Skill, Azure Four Symbols".

Centered on the Azure Bull Python, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred feet suddenly surged.

The wind howled, the rain poured down, thunder roared, and lightning flashed.

The four elements were forcibly combined into an extremely violent energy storm that swept in all directions.

The cardinals had no choice but to stop and use their defensive soul skills to fend off the storm.

The energy storm temporarily blocked their path, but it also allowed Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo to seize the moment when the Azure Bull Python was distracted.

The Demon-Slaying Douluo made the first move.

A blood-red halo appeared on the dragon-patterned staff in his hand. The halo detached from the staff and flew forward like a lasso.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Demon-Subduing Coiling Dragon Circle."

The blood-red halo precisely encircled the massive body of the Azure Bull Python and tightened abruptly.

The Azure Bull Python shuddered, immediately feeling its soul power flow become sluggish and stagnant, as if its meridians were filled with paste, and the release of each soul skill was half a beat slower than usual.

Binding-type Soul Skills.

The Azure Bull Python's heart sank.

On the other side, the coordination between the Thousand-Pound Douluo was completed almost simultaneously.

The dragon-shaped staff in his hand transformed into a golden light and flew out of his hand, so fast that even the afterimage could not be seen.

"Eighth Soul Skill, A Decisive Strike."

The golden light struck the Azure Bull Python's body, hitting the most severely injured scale.

With a muffled thud, the terrifying power attached to the Panlong Staff poured out.

The massive body of the Azure Bull Python was sent flying by the blow, tumbling halfway through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, scattering dirt everywhere, and spitting out a mouthful of blue blood.

But the Azure Bull Python did not fall.

It struggled to prop itself up, and colorful lightning once again condensed on its horn.

This time, instead of attacking the Demon-Slaying Thousand-Pound Strike, it swept its lightning towards the cardinals.
