Douluo Continent V: Suppressing Tang San with the Might of the Super Beast God

"Xiao Qiu, stay away..."

Ling Yuan, transformed into a blazing divine eagle, stared intently at Tang Hao, who was at the center of the God of Slaughter Domain. The black ten-thousand-year soul rings surrounding her became even more profound under her activation. "Ninth Soul Skill - Flaming Wheel Crimson Eagle Slash!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Yuan transformed into a fiery red blade of light and rushed towards Tang Hao at a speed invisible to ordinary people.

"Hmph, Seventh Soul Skill—Martial Soul True Body!"

Seeing Ling Yuan attack, Tang Hao snorted coldly and then swung the Haotian Hammer, which had become even heavier, to meet her attack.

boom!

A collision sound rang out, and Ling Yuan, who had gone all out, slammed Tang Hao into the air, only stopping when he was more than a hundred meters off the ground.

"Soon, you'll regret moving the battlefield to the sky."

Gripping the Haotian Hammer tightly, Tang Hao unleashed his killing intent as he spoke to Ling Yuan.

While on the ground, Tang Hao, somewhat hesitant due to Xiao Wu's presence, was still trying to figure out how to lure Ling Yuan away. But to his surprise, Ling Yuan took the initiative, launching itself directly into the sky, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Indeed, some people will regret it, but this person..."

Ling Yuan looked at Tang Hao with a mocking expression, but the words she was about to say were finished by another voice, "It's you."

"what?!"

Hearing the sound coming from behind, Tang Hao immediately flew to the left without turning around, but unfortunately, a deep wound appeared on his arm that almost exposed the bone.

"Not bad, you've made some progress over the years, Tang Hao."

Using her soul power to remove the blood from the spider spear, Bibi Dong, revealing her true martial soul form, spoke to Tang Hao with a mocking tone.

"Bibi Dong?! So this kid is a piece of trash from the Spirit Hall!"

Seeing the "Death Spider King" not far away, Tang Hao, who had initially felt a bit of joy, immediately became furious.

Twelve years ago, his 'beloved' wife, Ah Yin, sacrificed herself to save him, causing Tang Hao to numb himself with alcohol for years. Now that Tang San has achieved some success, he is being targeted by the Spirit Hall. How could this not enrage him, how could he not want to smash all his enemies to pieces?

"Ninth Soul Skill: Spatial Tear Abyss Slash II!"

Hearing that Tang Hao dared to insult Qiu Hougong like that, Bibi Dong, who was planning to mock Tang Hao to make the upcoming battle easier, immediately switched to her second spirit, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, and then unleashed her ninth spirit skill twice in a row to attack Tang Hao without regard for the cost.

"Dual Ninth Soul Skill - Flaming Wheel Crimson Eagle Slash!"

Bibi Dong became fierce, and Ling Yuan, who was also enraged by Tang Hao, also forcibly used her ninth soul skill to charge towards Tang Hao.

"Ninth Soul Skill - Hammer Shakes the Nine Heavens! Chaotic Cloak!"

Tang Hao was not afraid at all when he saw Bibi Dong and the other two women attacking. He used his ninth soul skill and Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to meet them.

……

Let's rewind three minutes.

After seeing Ling Yuan and Tang Hao fly into the sky together, Qiu Hougong hurriedly ran to Xiao Wu's side and asked with concern, "Xiao Wu, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"I'm fine..."

Xiao Wu shook her head, looking blankly at Qiu Hougong, and asked, "Why?"

"Why? What do you mean, why..."

Hearing Xiao Wu say this, Qiu Hougong pretended to be puzzled and asked a question, then said with a serious expression, "This place is not safe. Let's leave here and wait for Sister Lingyuan to come back."

"I……"

Xiao Wu was about to say something when Qiu Hougong, who had activated his Cloud Bat Armor state, swept her up in his arms. "Wait until I have something to say, let's go now."

After saying that, Qiu Hougong leaped up and used the branches of the big tree to move down the hill.

As Qiu Hougong leaped, the sky, which had been covered by dark clouds, suddenly cleared up, and the bright moonlight shone on Qiu Hougong's face, making him, who was already incredibly handsome, even more appealing to the readers.

"He really..."

Looking up at Qiu Hougong's resolute expression, Xiaowu, whose heart was beginning to stir, lowered her head in a little panic, and her little hands that were originally wrapped around Qiu Hougong's neck tightened even more.

Three minutes later, Qiu Hougong carried Xiaowu to a cave.

This place is far from towns and villages, and there are no high-level soul beasts around. It is a good place to hide.

"Let's rest here for now. Everything will be fine once Sister Lingyuan comes back."

Pushing a boulder to cover the cave entrance, Qiu Hougong, having deactivated his Cloud Bat armor, turned and walked to Xiao Wu's side, saying...

This cave was created by Bibi Dong using her soul power before Qiu Hougong came to find Xiao Wu, and the purpose was naturally for the present.

"You shouldn't have come."

Xiao Wu hugged her long, beautiful legs with both hands, forcing herself to calm down, and said to Qiu Hougong.

Although Qiu Hougong's recent actions had indeed surprised her, Xiaowu, still harboring hostility towards humans, decided to test him further to see what Qiu Hougong's true intentions were.

"Look at what you're saying! You've been kidnapped by bad guys, how could I not come to rescue you?"

Qiu Hougong walked to Xiaowu's side with a smile, reaching out to touch her head, but she turned her head away.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Seeing Xiao Wu dodge his hand, Qiu Hougong first showed a puzzled expression, then spoke to comfort her.

"I'm not afraid……"

Xiao Wu raised her head, her pink eyes fixed on Qiu Hougong's deep eyes, "The person who captured me is very strong. Even Ling Yuan could not be his match."

“Yes, that man is indeed very strong. But I've also thought of a way to deal with him, you don't need to…”

Before Qiu Hougong could finish speaking, Xiao Wu interrupted him loudly, "I said that's not what I meant!"

"So what do you want to say?"

Sensing that "something was wrong," Qiu Hougong suppressed his smile, but his tone remained as gentle as ever.

Looking into Qiu Hougong's gentle eyes and face, Xiaowu, whose heartstrings were about to snap, bluntly said, "I'm lying to you."

"Lying to me? What is it?"

Qiu Hougong said, "I don't quite understand."

"Everything..."

Xiao Wu took a deep breath and then poured out all the words she had kept hidden in her heart for so many years, "Actually, I lied to you the first time you came to me. I never treated you as my brother. I just wanted to use you to gain a foothold in the Spirit Hall so that I would have a chance to escape..."

Having said everything, Xiao Wu felt a sense of relief. "Now you know everything. Come on, kill me, or have someone lock me up again in the Spirit Hall, it's up to you."

"Ugh……"

Seeing Xiao Wu's resolute expression, Qiu Hougong first sighed with a look of "self-reproach," then stood up and distanced himself from Xiao Wu, saying, "After this is over, I'll find an opportunity to ask Sister Lingyuan to leave for a few hours. You can take that chance to leave and go home."

"go home?"

Upon hearing Qiu Hougong's words, Xiaowu was taken aback. "You're going to let me go?"

"Well, I've known all along that you didn't truly want to acknowledge me as your brother. But just like I told you at the beginning, I wanted to find a way for humans and spirit beasts to coexist peacefully. So I've always treated you sincerely, hoping you could understand my feelings. But now it seems... I'm really too useless."

Seeing Qiu Hougong's "self-reproachful" appearance, Xiaowu was shocked by Qiu Hougong's meticulousness, and her eyes also reddened a little. "You... really think that way?"

"I swear by my martial spirit that if any of the words I just said to Xiao Wu are false, may I..."

Qiu Hougong raised his hand to swear, but before he could finish speaking, Xiao Wu covered his mouth with her hand, "Enough!"

"Xiao Wu, you..."

Seeing his favorability rating rising rapidly, Qiu Hou, thinking he had succeeded, gently removed Xiao Wu's hand. He then saw Xiao Wu burying her face in his chest, crying and gently hitting him, saying, "Stupid brother, clumsy brother, how could you be so foolish..."

"I'm sorry, brother was really clumsy and made sister sad. Don't cry, don't cry..."

Qiu Hougong gently patted Xiao Wu's smooth, beautiful back to comfort her, and it took a few minutes for Xiao Wu's emotions to gradually calm down.

"I'm sorry, I got your clothes wet."

Xiao Wu lowered her head, not daring to look at Qiu Hougong.

"It's nothing, just a piece of clothing..."

Qiu Hougong smiled and took Xiaowu's hand, then teased, "I'm willing to get multiple pieces of my clothes wet or anything else, as long as you want."

"Huh? Huh! You bad guy~ See if Sister Xiaowu doesn't beat you up~"

"Help! Sister Xiaowu, I was wrong, hahaha..."

Just as Qiu Hougong and Xiao Wu were playing around in the cave, the battle above the hill had entered its final stage.

"What a magnificent twin martial soul! The soul power reserves are truly abundant. It seems I'll have to use that move."

Using the power gained from his battle with Bibi Dong and Ling Yuan, Tang Hao retreated. Knowing he couldn't continue like this, his eyes narrowed, and powerful soul energy began to surge through his body.

"Today, I'll show you the ultimate technique of my Haotian Sect, the Great Sumeru... Pfft!"

Before the word "hammer" could even be uttered, a sudden backlash severely injured Tang Hao, who had been in relatively good condition, causing him to plummet rapidly as his soul power spiraled out of control.

"Third Soul Skill: Death Spider Web Binding!"

Seeing Tang Hao's reaction, Bibi Dong knew the time was right and immediately released the Soul Skill of the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul to bind him tightly. Then, she said to Ling Yuan, who was pale and panting heavily beside her, "Come down with me."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

Ling Yuan, whose soul power was somewhat depleted, spoke respectfully, and then the two women descended one after the other towards the hill below.

Upon reaching the ground, Bibi Dong looked at Tang Hao with a mocking expression and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to let me see the ultimate techniques of your Clear Sky Sect? How come you're lying here now?"

"Hmph, if you hadn't used such despicable means, I would have killed you all long ago."

Tang Hao gritted his teeth and said that he had already figured out that the reason he would suffer a backlash was because of the scratch Bibi Dong had given him at the beginning. But what he didn't understand was that he clearly felt that Bibi Dong hadn't poisoned him or injected him with anything, so how did he get affected?

Seeing Tang Hao like this, Bibi Dong, who was in a much better mood, suddenly remembered something Qiu Hou Gong had said before, and her playful mood was aroused. "Tang Hao, I have a photo album, and it is now full."

What do you mean?

Tang Hao was taken aback by Bibi Dong's seemingly random remark.

"It means..."

Bibi Dong gracefully raised her beautiful leg, clad in high heels, and then stomped down hard on Tang Hao's right palm. "I don't accept disciples."

"Ahhhhhh! Bibi Dong! I'll kill you! Ahhhhhhh!"

The pain from having his palm pierced and the verbal humiliation from Bibi Dong drove Tang Hao mad. But just as he was forcibly circulating his soul power to break free of the restraints, a powerful backlash arose, causing him to faint from the rage.

"Hmph, trash..."

Bibi Dong glanced disdainfully at the unconscious Tang Hao, then picked up a white jade bottle and said curiously, "I really don't understand how Xiao Qiu's brain works. He can even invent such a strange potion... Never mind. Ling Yuan, this clone of mine is about to dissipate. I order you to bring Tang Hao and Xiao Qiu back to Wuhun City as soon as possible. There must be no delay."

"Yes, Your Holiness. I will certainly complete the mission."

Ling Yuan bowed respectfully, and then Bibi Dong's figure disappeared before her eyes.

"Phew, finally got rid of this troublesome guy. I wonder how things are going with Xiao Qiu. I need to get there right away."

After adjusting her state, Ling Yuan lifted Tang Hao from a distance and then quickly flew towards the direction where Qiu Hougong was.

Arriving above the cave where Qiu Hougong and Xiao Wu were hiding, Ling Yuan discovered that Qiu Hougong was standing next to the boulder blocking the cave.

Upon seeing Ling Yuan appear, Qiu Hougong immediately walked quickly to her side and asked with concern, "Sister Ling Yuan, you're back. How are you? Are you alright?"

"No, Xiao Qiu. I just used up a lot of soul energy. I'll be fine after a short rest..."

Ling Yuan smiled and waved to Qiu Hou Gong, then looked at the cave behind Qiu Hou Gong and asked, "Where is Xiao Wu?"

"Xiao Wu is fine, she's just sleepy and is sleeping now..."

Qiu Hougong smiled slightly after realizing that Ling Yuan wasn't trying to comfort him, and then asked, "Where is my mother? I don't see her."

"Her Holiness the Pope's avatar has dissipated due to excessive consumption of soul power. Before leaving, she specifically told Tang Hao to take Xiao Qiu with him when he returned to Wuhun City."

Seeing Qiu Hougong say this, Ling Yuan, knowing that he had already resolved Xiao Wu's matter, said.

"Yes, I know. Let's go back together when we get home..."

Qiu Hougong nodded, then said to Ling Yuan, "Now that everything is settled, Xiao Wu and I will head back to Shrek Academy. Ling Yuan, you should get some rest too."

"Okay, I'll take you back first, and then I'll rest."

Ling Yuan nodded, and then asked Qiu Hougong to call the sleeping Xiao Wu and fly together towards Shrek Academy.

Over the next two weeks, with Ling Yuan's 'well-intentioned' help, Qiu Hougong returned to Wuhun City with Xiao Wu.

After digging out Tang Hao's soul bone and locking him in the dungeon, Qiu Hougong spent two weeks shuttling between Bibi Dong, Xiao Wu, Hu Liena, and Ling Yuan. The result was that all four women's favorability towards him reached 99%, just one step away from the maximum favorability.

On this day, Qiu Hougong, whose leave had come to an end, arrived at the gate of Shrek Academy on time with Xiaowu and Lingyuan.

Just as the three entered the academy, intending to go to the cafeteria for a meal, two figures arguing under a big tree caught the attention of Qiu Hougong and Xiao Wu.
