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

"Xiao Qiu has his own methods, so don't worry. All we need to do now is wait here for them to come back."

Ling Yuan comforted Ning Rongrong, and at the same time gave Zhu Zhuqing, who was silent but whose eyes also revealed worry, a reassuring look.

Because Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing do not yet know Xiao Wu's true identity, they still believe that Qiu Hougong really went to rescue Xiao Wu.

....................................

While Zhu Zhuqing and the other two women were waiting for Qiu Hougong and Xiao Wu to return, Qiu Hougong also encountered a small trouble that shouldn't have been his problem.

"Er Ming came on my first night in Xingdou, and then I went out for a stroll and ran into you. So you and Er Ming are in cahoots, you only come when he comes out?"

Dodging the long-legged attack of the human-faced demon spider, Qiu Hougong, who was currently using the Illusionary Scale Armor Mode, thought to himself.

Judging from the previous exchanges, the human-faced spider in front of Qiu Hougong is in good condition. This is probably because Meng Yiran left with her grandparents after obtaining the soul ring, so the human-faced spider that did not encounter them was not injured.

Even so, this human-faced spider could not escape its fate of death.

"Phoenix Feather, dash away!"

Seeing the human-faced spider continue to pounce on him, Qiu Hougong, who had switched to the Wind Feather Armor, leaped into the air. Immediately afterward, a deep red two-wheeled motorcycle appeared out of thin air above him and then transformed into a cross-shaped flying machine at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Flying is the ultimate expression of enjoying freedom!"

After dodging three ranged webs from the human-faced demon spider while flying several circles in the air, Qiu Hougong, having had his fill of fun, raised his hands and began to concentrate the strange energy within his body, "Illusion, Heaven, Technique!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of energy that appeared to be just a sphere with a radius of fifty centimeters, but actually contained thousands of tiny crimson flying swords, flew out from between Qiu Hougong's hands and headed towards the human-faced demon spider.

"scare!"

Upon seeing Qiu Hougong's attack coming, the human-faced spider, sensing that it couldn't withstand the attack head-on, quickly used its eight long legs to dodge.

"Hide? Let's see where you hide."

Qiu Hougong's lips curled up slightly, and then he controlled the energy ball to chase after the human-faced demon spider.

brush!brush!brush!

The human-faced spider dodged left and right, leaping up and down. Just as it was about to jump and try to avoid the attack coming from directly in front, the energy ball that was supposed to pass through from below suddenly moved upward and crashed directly into the human-faced spider.

"scare!!!"

The human-faced spider let out a painful cry, and thousands of invisible flying swords pierced through its body. Within minutes, the human-faced spider collapsed to the ground, completely lifeless.

"That was a rather painful death. I wish I hadn't used that method."

After detaching from the phoenix feathers and landing on the ground, Qiu Hougong walked to the corpse of the human-faced demon spider, examined the wounds left on its body, and then found a piece of bone that was glowing faintly inside its body.

"This external soul bone should be able to help Dong'er, right?"

After retrieving the external soul bone from his system inventory, Qiu Hougong got up and planned to head back to meet up with Ling Yuan and the others.

However, just as Qiu Hougong was about to take a step forward, a huge figure silently appeared behind him, directly blocking out the moonlight in the sky.

"Death Moon Tribulation!"

Instantly armed, Qiu Hougong, who had already slipped out of the shadows, leaped up and unleashed a powerful attack on the figure that had just appeared behind him.

"Roar!!!"

Seeing Qiu Hougong's attack coming, the figure roared and then slapped Qiu Hougong's attack away.

"Erming, stop! Brother Qiu, it's me, Xiaowu is back!"

Just as Qiu Hougong was about to continue his attack, Xiao Wu's voice suddenly rang out, and then a pink figure flashed a few times and arrived beside Qiu Hougong.

"Xiao Wu, you're back..."

Upon seeing Xiao Wu appear, Qiu Hougong, who had deactivated his Cloud Bat Armor Mode, hugged her tightly and asked with concern, "Why did you come back so quickly? Didn't I tell you to talk to Da Ming and Er Ming a little longer?"

"They were afraid you'd worry, so they rushed back..."

Xiao Wu rubbed against Qiu Hougong, then straightened up and said happily, "Brother Qiu, look! I've already broken through to Soul Master level, I'm level 35 now."

"Okay, my Xiao Wu is amazing. Let me guess, is your third soul skill an ability to teleport?"

Qiu Hougong smiled and stroked Xiao Wu's hair as he spoke.

A week ago, Xiao Wu had already met the conditions for a breakthrough. However, Qiu Hou Gong told Xiao Wu to wait so that she could reach a higher level after the breakthrough. He then asked people to keep sending Xiao Wu food and medicine rich in soul power. That's why Xiao Wu reached level 35 as soon as she broke through.

"Brother Qiu is really amazing, he guessed it right away..."

Xiao Wu looked at Qiu Hou Gong with admiration and said, "My third soul skill is called teleportation. It can... and it doesn't consume much soul power. Based on my current soul power reserves, I should be able to use it more than fifty times in a row."

"Okay, Xiao Wu, this way your combat power and self-defense ability will be stronger, and I can relax a little."

Qiu Hougong doted on her.

Just as Xiao Wu was about to continue to act coquettishly towards Qiu Hougong, a deep and somewhat resentful roar caught their attention.

"Oh, Erming..."

Seeing the Titan Ape Erming sitting to the side, Xiaowu shyly pushed Qiu Hougong away, then walked to Erming's side and touched his arm hanging on the ground, saying, "I'm sorry, Erming, I was so excited that I forgot to formally introduce you. Brother Qiu, this is my third brother Erming, and Erming, this is my husband. You should... what should you call him again?"

"It's my brother-in-law."

Seeing Xiao Wu's adorable blank expression, Qiu Hougong smiled and reminded her.

"Oh right! Brother-in-law. Erming, he is your brother-in-law."

Xiao Wu said to Er Ming.

"Humph."

After hearing Xiao Wu's words, Er Ming glanced at Qiu Hou Gong, clearly not approving of Qiu Hou Gong as his brother-in-law.

"Erming! What are you doing...?"

Seeing Erming like this, Xiaowu was a little unhappy. But just as she was about to say something to Erming, Qiu Hougong, who walked up to him, stopped her.

"Erming, my name is Qiu Hougong. I came here unexpectedly this time, and I didn't bring anything good with me..."

Looking at the tall Erming, Qiu Hougong smiled and tossed two white fruits he had previously bought from the store into his system inventory and placed them on the ground. "Consider these two fruits as a gift for you and Daming."

"Roar?"

Seeing the fruit on the ground, which was about the same size as Qiu Hougong himself, and sensing the enormous energy contained within it, Erming did not reach out to take it directly. Instead, he turned to Xiaowu, clearly asking her if he could take it.

"Just take what Brother Qiu gave you, don't look at me."

Xiao Wu smiled and took Qiu Hougong's arm, saying...

Seeing Xiao Wu like this, Er Ming felt a little uncomfortable and growled at Qiu Hou Gong before picking up the two fruits.

"Erming, you go back first, I'll come back to see you in a while."

Xiao Wu said to Er Ming.

"Roar."

Erming nodded to Xiaowu, and after glancing at Qiu Hougong twice, he reluctantly got up and walked away into the distance.

"Let's go too."

Seeing that Erming's figure had disappeared, Qiu Hougong lowered his head and pulled Xiaowu into his arms, saying...

"Okay~ I'll do whatever you say."

Xiao Wu said sweetly, and then the two of them walked hand in hand toward where Ning Rongrong and the others were.

Ten minutes later, the two, who had successfully reunited with Ling Yuan and the other two, decided to spend the night in the tent they had set up on the spot after a series of concerned questions and answers.

The next morning, Qiu Hougong and the others left the Star Dou Great Forest and went to a small town they had passed through earlier to have breakfast.

"Brother Qiu, we must hurry back to Soto City after we finish eating."

In a guest room on the second floor, Ning Rongrong, sitting at the dining table, waved her little fist and said.

"Oh? Rongrong, why are you in such a hurry?"

Qiu Hougong, who was sitting opposite Ning Rongrong, smiled slightly upon hearing this and then asked.

"Of course we're going back to deal with those guys. They only cared about saving their own lives and abandoned us."

Ning Rongrong replied.

“But Sister Lingyuan said yesterday that they didn’t treat us as their own people, so it’s normal that they ran away.”

Qiu Hougong smiled and said again.

"Then we should teach them a lesson even more..."

Ning Rongrong's answer was somewhat unexpected by Qiu Hougong: "My father once said that if you are not an ally and have become an enemy, you should take advantage of the fact that the other party is weaker than you and eliminate them as quickly as possible to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for yourself in the future."

"Yes, Rongrong is right. That's how we should do it."

Zhu Zhuqing also spoke up.

"Good good..."

The two women's words prompted Qiu Hougong to applaud them. "After we finish eating, we'll set off. We'll have to trouble Sister Lingyuan then."

"It's alright."

Ling Yuan, sitting next to Xiao Wu, smiled, and then the group began to seriously devour the food in front of them...

Half a day later, Qiu Hougong and the others successfully returned to Soto City with the help of Ling Yuan.

However, when they entered Shrek Academy, they were surprised to find that there were no students or teachers inside.

"That's strange, where are they? Did they all escape?"

Looking at the empty office, Xiao Wu smoothed her hair with a puzzled expression.

"That shouldn't be the case. At our speed, Zhao Wuji couldn't possibly be faster than us. How did Flander and the others know that?"

Ning Rongrong couldn't understand it either.

"I think I know how they found out."

As Zhu Zhuqing walked in from outside, she spoke.

"Zhu Qing, what's the reason?"

Xiao Wu came to Zhu Zhuqing's side and asked.

"Because of this..."

Zhu Zhuqing took out a feather and showed it to everyone. "I found this under a big tree outside the office. It must have fallen off within a day."

"Zhu Qing, are you saying that Zhao Wuji used carrier pigeons to send a message to Flanders, which is why Flanders ran away?"

Ning Rongrong looked at the feather in Zhu Zhuqing's hand and said.

"Very likely."

Zhu Zhuqing replied.

"Damn it, we're still too late."

Xiao Wu puffed out her cheeks and said.

"Yes, now that they've run away, where are we supposed to find them?"

Ning Rongrong said with some distress.

"Don't worry, since they're not here, let's send people to search all over the mainland. We'll find them eventually."

Qiu Hougong walked to the three women's side and gently comforted them.

Qiu Hougong wasn't worried at all about Tang San and the others' disappearance. Since Tang Hao had already captured them, and Tang San was unaware of Ah Yin's situation, it would be incredibly difficult for him to grow stronger.

Besides, even if Tang San were to grow stronger, so what? As a transmigrator with twenty white holes in his body, would he be afraid? It's simply impossible.

"Well, that's all we can do for now..."

Ning Rongrong nodded, then said happily, "Brother Qiu, since Shrek Academy is gone, shall we go to Heaven Dou City? I'll take you back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to stay."

"Okay, let's wait for Sister Lingyuan to rest for a bit, and then we'll set off."

Qiu Hougong agreed. Since Shrek Academy is gone anyway, going to Tiandou City to find Qian Renxue and meet those three beauties ahead of time isn't a bad thing.

"No need, Xiao Qiu. Let's go now."

Ling Yuan, who had been standing silently to the side, spoke.

"Is this alright? Why don't you take a rest first, Sister Lingyuan? Anyway, going to Tiandou City isn't urgent."

Qiu Hougong advised.

"Yes, Sister Lingyuan, you should take a rest. There's no rush."

"That's it."

"Ah."

Xiao Wu and the other two girls also chimed in.

"No need, I'm not tired at all right now."

Ling Yuan replied.

Seeing Ling Yuan's insistence, Qiu Hougong and the others had no choice but to agree, and so the group embarked on their journey to Tian Dou City once again...

One day later, in Tiandou City, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Early in the morning, in the central hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes was sitting in the main seat, sipping tea.

Just then, a middle-aged man covered in blood suddenly ran into the central hall, then knelt down with a thud and said, "Sect Master, something terrible has happened! Miss is missing!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man, Ning Fengzhi, immediately stood up, walked to the other middle-aged man's side, grabbed his shoulders, and said nervously, "What did you say?! Say it again!"

"Sect Master, Miss... has gone missing."

The middle-aged man forced himself to speak, suppressing his fear.

"Rongrong has disappeared..."

Upon confirming the information, Ning Fengzhi staggered a few steps. At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a white robe and riding a flying sword flew in from outside the hall. Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi's unsteady stance, he quickly stepped forward to support him.

"Fengzhi, what's wrong? Has something serious happened in the sect?"

The man in white, also known as Sword Douluo Chen Xin, said solemnly.

Although he had just returned from outside and didn't know what had happened, judging from Ning Fengzhi's expression, something big must have happened within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, otherwise Ning Fengzhi would never have shown such an expression.

"Uncle Jian, Rongrong has gone missing."

Looking at Chen Xin beside him, Ning Fengzhi, whose mind had calmed down a bit, spoke.
