The afternoon sunlight slanted across the streets of Heaven Dou City, casting a layer of golden radiance.
The clouds in the sky were dyed a faint orange-red, and a gentle breeze brushed past, bringing with it a hint of coolness.
After lunch, Cheng Xiao and Xiao Wu walked together along the street. Perhaps because Cheng Xiao was accompanying her, Xiao Wu was in particularly high spirits—whenever she spotted something interesting, she would tug on Cheng Xiao and insist on going to take a look together.
Cheng Xiao didn't resist, letting Xiao Wu hold his hand as they strolled through shop after shop.
"Cheng Xiao, thank you for being willing to wander around with me today." With her hands clasped behind her back, a smile appeared on Xiao Wu's face as she spoke crisply.
"Why are you thanking me? I promised you that I'd accompany you to stroll around Heaven Dou City," Cheng Xiao said with a slight shake of his head and a smile.
"I know you're very busy, but I was still greedy and wanted you to spend more time with me." Xiao Wu stopped walking, her red, bright eyes staring intently at Cheng Xiao's puzzled gaze.
The next second, Xiao Wu let out a "pfft" of laughter. Immediately after, her face flushed red as she lightly tapped the ground with her toes and came before Cheng Xiao. Under his slightly stunned gaze, she gently kissed him.
A trace of warmth spread across his cheek. Before Cheng Xiao could react, Xiao Wu had already pulled back with a sweet laugh, then clasped her hands behind her back again, blinking as she smiled lightly."Let's go, accompany me for another stroll. Just now—consider it your reward for helping me solve that trouble."
Subconsciously wiping his face, Cheng Xiao muttered, "That was too fast. How about letting me properly feel it again?"
"No." Xiao Wu giggled as she turned around, then glanced back over her shoulder. "We're friends right now. Don't be greedy."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao shook his head helplessly and prepared to follow Xiao Wu. However, just as he lifted his foot, a wave of pressure rushed toward him head-on.
"Which family's brat are you, daring to lay hands on my grandson?!"
At that moment, not far from Cheng Xiao and Xiao Wu, a middle-aged man stepped out from the shadows of an alley.
The instant she saw the man, Xiao Wu recognized his identity and ground her teeth as she said, "You gorillas really are endless."
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Cheng Xiao asked instinctively, "Xiao Wu, you know him?"
"He's Tai Long's father—Tai Nuo." Xiao Wu placed one hand on her hip and pointed at Tai Nuo as he walked toward them.
"Tai Nuo…" Cheng Xiao paused slightly, then reacted—this was a case of beating the small one and having the old one come looking for trouble.
"You little girl, if Young Master Tang San hadn't blocked my father for you back then, do you think you'd still be standing here intact?" Tai Nuo strode forward with a ferocious expression, abruptly questioning her.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately retorted, "Are all people of the Strength Clan this brainless? No wonder every single one of you lacks brains."
"You little girl, you really have a sharp tongue." Tai Nuo glared at Xiao Wu, then turned his gaze to Cheng Xiao, only to discover in surprise that the young man before him seemed somewhat different.
"Playing tricks." Although Cheng Xiao gave Tai Nuo an odd feeling, being simple-minded and all brawn, he paid it no mind. He stretched out his large hand and directly grabbed toward Cheng Xiao's arm.
He planned to give the boy a thorough beating to vent some anger for his son.
However, just as Tai Nuo's palm extended, Xiao Wu beside Cheng Xiao moved anxiously. Yet the moment she completed her Martial Soul possession, Cheng Xiao—who had remained unmoving—grabbed her arm. Then, under her puzzled gaze, he lightly snapped his fingers.
In an instant, a wisp of black smoke rapidly rose from Cheng Xiao's shadow. Immediately after, a handsome man with interwoven ice-blue and crimson-red long hair appeared before Cheng Xiao.
"Nash, go easy—don't kill him," Cheng Xiao conveyed with a thought, and the giant dragon Nash nodded.
The next moment, Nash's palm extended and struck Tai Nuo's chest with lightning speed.
Although Nash's movement appeared light, the moment his palm made contact with Tai Nuo's chest, the latter's expression changed drastically.
Tai Nuo was horrified to discover that the bones in his chest cavity seemed to have shattered. Even more terrifying was that when he tried to pull his hand back, he found his arm completely unresponsive. His pupils shrank, and fear surfaced on his face.
"Who is this person? How could he possess such terrifying strength?!" Tai Nuo stared at the man before him in disbelief. He couldn't understand how the other party's body could contain power even greater than his father's. Could it be that this man was the boy's guard—a Titled Douluo?!
The moment this thought appeared, cold sweat poured down Tai Nuo's back.
After striking Tai Nuo's chest, Nash withdrew his palm, and Tai Nuo's entire body was sent flying backward like a cannonball, crashing into the alley.
Then, Nash's lips moved slightly, and an icy voice, as if coming from hell itself, carried boundless chill as it rang out.
"If you seek death, I can send you on your way."
Overwhelmed with terror, Tai Nuo wanted to beg for mercy, but the earlier strike had already shattered all the bones in his chest cavity. At this moment, he couldn't utter a single word.
"Who exactly are you, daring to injure my son?!" Just as Tai Nuo struggled to get up, a towering, mountain-like figure appeared beside him.
"Oh? Another ant?" Looking at the suddenly appearing Tai Tan, Nash showed no concern and spoke casually.
Tai Tan, nicknamed the Hercules, had a soul power level of eighty-six and followed a pure strength-based path. Even among Titled Douluo, very few could match his strength. In terms of raw power alone, he was comparable to Titled Douluo above level ninety.
Now, being mocked so casually, Tai Tan's expression immediately darkened. He glanced down at his son, who had already fallen unconscious, then stomped heavily on the ground. Instantly, eight soul rings spiraled up from beneath his feet and hovered around his body.
"I've lived this long, and you're the first to dare call me an ant. You… have you decided how you want to die?" Fueled by rage, Tai Tan's fists crackled loudly as an immense surge of soul power roared forth, pressing down overwhelmingly toward the calm and unhurried Nash.
"My lord, please be careful," Nash said as he glanced back at Cheng Xiao. Then, turning his gaze back to Tai Tan, two dragon souls—one ice-blue, one crimson-red—gradually manifested from his body.
Coiling around Nash were two dragon souls condensed from pure energy—one entirely ice-blue, the other entirely crimson-red. The moment the two dragon souls appeared, the pressure released by Tai Tan instantly dissipated into nothingness.
With the appearance of the two dragon souls, Tai Tan's face turned extremely grim. He had never expected that the other party's Martial Soul would be of the dragon type—and judging by the appearance, it was actually a top-tier twin dragon!
