The golden Sacred Sword pierced through his chest.
Tang Chen's blood-red pupils widened abruptly. After being stabbed through the heart, his originally evil and bloodthirsty gaze actually became much clearer.
Tang Chen was bewildered.
His mind was racing.
His brain, after being parasitized and brainwashed, couldn't comprehend it.
What exactly happened?
Qian Daoliu's light chuckle sounded from behind him.
"I know you bragged to me plenty back in the day about how powerful your Clear Sky Sect's ultimate techniques were, the strongest among them being Ring Detonation."
"I believe you. Although I've never seen you use it, I've always remembered it clearly and it left a deep impression."
"However, there's something I've never told you."
Qian Daoliu paused before saying with an inexplicable tone:
"Your attacks, I could actually dodge."
"But that would be cheating, and I was afraid you wouldn't accept it, and even more afraid Bo Saixi would be unhappy."
Every time Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen clashed, it was a head-on confrontation.
Therefore, in countless sparring matches, he had never won.
But it wasn't that he had no way to win.
Although Soul Masters could achieve levitation after advancing to Titled Douluo, this was achieved by using Soul Power to lift themselves into the air, and their speed could not compare to Flight-type Soul Masters.
Moreover, if you could use Soul Power to levitate, Flight-type Soul Masters could naturally use Soul Power to accelerate.
If it were in a confined space, Qian Daoliu would have been brutally killed by Tang Chen.
But under the high heavens, it was the Angel's home ground.
Just as Bo Saixi was invincible on the sea...
Listening to Qian Daoliu calmly explain the reason, Tang Chen did not feel the relief of his doubts being cleared. Instead, he became overheated.
Tang Chen roared in fury:
"Qian Daoliu, so you were calculating against me from the very beginning!"
"You had me recover my strength, not use the Angel Divine Sword, and your ultimate goal was to make me think you were pedantic and rigid, leading me to easily use my strongest killing move without the guarantee of a sure hit."
Tang Chen felt a sense of sudden realization.
He also felt a sense of anger from being deceived and toyed with!
Damn it, you, Qian Daoliu, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, looked honest, but you're a cunning old fox!
Lin Xiao, who had been watching from the side the entire time, finally understood.
His expression was complex.
There was no doubt that Qian Daoliu had taught him a lesson today.
Lin Xiao had previously urged Qian Daoliu not to be soft-hearted and was even annoyed by Qian Daoliu's indecisiveness. But who would have thought that in the end, this was Qian Daoliu's scheme?
It was an open and aboveboard stratagem!
As expected of an old hand, he had so many tricks up his sleeve!
Lin Xiao sighed in admiration.
"Heroes of the world are truly like carp crossing the river..."
The Sacred Sword pierced through his chest.
Tang Chen's vitality rapidly withered.
Qian Daoliu's gaze, however, turned cold. "I remember you had a Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King inside you, why isn't it in the position of your heart?"
As his voice fell, Qian Daoliu twisted his sword.
A sharp cry suddenly erupted from within Tang Chen.
The cry was extremely piercing!
Caught off guard, accompanied by some kind of soul attack, even Qian Daoliu was momentarily stunned.
"Bang!"
Blood mist exploded, and Tang Chen's figure suddenly disappeared, fleeing into the distance.
As he fled, he bared his fangs and continuously sucked at the Soul Tools.
It turned out that these Soul Tools were filled with blood! Tang Chen and the severely injured Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King within him were trying to recover their injuries by absorbing blood.
Qian Daoliu calmly took out the Angel Divine Sword.
He unleashed a sword strike, imbued with sacred Angel God power, filled with purifying energy, burning Tang Chen's body, hindering his recovery, and once again heavily injuring the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King!
Tang Chen and the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King let out screams in unison.
They couldn't even maintain their aerial positions.
Falling from high above, they crashed onto the ground, looking as pathetic as stray dogs.
But in a moment, Tang Chen, dragging his broken body, fled frantically.
Qian Daoliu unleashed two more sword strikes, kicking them while they were down.
Tang Chen had an arm and a leg severed.
Under the power of the Angel God, he couldn't recover in a short time.
Just as Lin Xiao expected Qian Daoliu to unleash a third sword strike.
Qian Daoliu stopped.
Lin Xiao was confused.
"Great Enshrinement, why not finish him off completely?"
Qian Daoliu was silent for a moment.
"It's not good for me to kill Tang Chen."
"Anyone else can kill him, but it cannot be me. Otherwise, I can't give her an explanation."
Lin Xiao: "..."
He understood.
Qian Daoliu didn't want to completely break ties with Bo Saixi. So, anyone could take Tang Chen's head, but Qian Daoliu couldn't be the one.
Qian Daoliu continued:
"The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King and Tang Chen have both been severely injured by me. His body was already broken and on the verge of death, his blood and energy as withered as a dried corpse."
"Furthermore, he used the forbidden technique of Ring Detonation and had an arm and a leg severed. He is no longer a threat."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes.
"I understand. Since it's inconvenient for the Great Enshrinement to act, I'll take care of it."
But Lin Xiao added with concern:
"You're afraid of Bo Saixi causing trouble, but what about me?"
Qian Daoliu smiled faintly.
"No need to worry. I know her. Although she is a woman, her pride surpasses both mine and Tang Chen's. She will absolutely not attack you, nor will she allow the Fallen Ones to harm others."
Lin Xiao said, "I'll trust you this time."
He immediately turned and chased after Tang Chen.
That's good too.
Lin Xiao's Soul Devouring Domain happened to be lacking a soul of Limit Douluo quality.
The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King would also be good medicinal material.
As everyone knows, regardless of whether it's a kill steal or not, the one who gets the last hit takes all the spoils...
Lin Xiao was determined to get this last hit!
...
Tang Chen's blood and energy continued to wane.
He fled in an extremely pathetic manner. Because one leg was severed, he could only use his Soul Power to form a leg and escape desperately, which only increased the burden on his already broken body.
He bared his ugly fangs.
Like a dog eating dirt, he greedily lapped up the blood from his Storage Soul Tool.
Limit Douluo were already the strongest beings in the world.
Such powerful individuals, whether righteous or evil, should have a tragic end, like a setting sun over a long river, or a giant whale sinking into the sea.
They should never cling to life in such a humiliating and ugly manner!
However, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King within Tang Chen's body was constantly influencing his mind. Tang Chen, whose heart had long been riddled with holes, was merely a vessel for desire.
Years of parasitism.
Tang Chen and the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King had become one.
Tang Chen was still fleeing.
He was fleeing with all his might.
But Lin Xiao's speed was extremely fast.
The burning golden flames seemed to suppress him, just like the Angel God's power.
The Phoenix bloodline's aura made the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King extremely terrified.
Lin Xiao was about to catch up to Tang Chen.
Tang Chen burned his remaining vital blood.
Suddenly increasing his speed.
This cycle repeated.
Gradually, Tang Chen no longer resembled a dried corpse but had become indistinguishable from one. His entire being seemed to consist of nothing but a skeleton, wrapped in aged, unsightly skin. The outline of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King could even be seen through his chest cavity.
But he was still alive.
Lin Xiao pursued Tang Chen from the Clear Sky Sect all the way to the sea.
Days and nights, crossing thousands of miles, Relentlessly.
Seeing Tang Chen's condition worsen, Lin Xiao remained cautious.
Only when a faint sea breeze brushed his face
did Lin Xiao perceive Tang Chen's intention
