At this moment, Tang San was completely dumbfounded.
What?
I just rushed all the way here from Heaven Dou City without blinking for a whole day and night, jolted half to death on the road!
And now you're telling me to hurry back?
Isn't this just toying with me?
If that's how it is...
Then you shouldn't have told me to come in the first place! Calling me here only to tell me to hurry up and run back—I'm seriously fed up!
The more Tang San thought about it, the angrier he became. This father of his was truly...
Although there were some words Tang San wouldn't say out loud...
Tang Hao was indeed terribly unreliable, causing him trouble ever since childhood.
Had it been anyone else other than Tang Hao, Tang San would have already deemed them to have taken a path to death.
"Dad?"
"Are you still here or not?"
"What on earth happened to you? Why haven't you come looking for me in so long? Where on earth are you?!"
The surroundings remained completely quiet, with no one responding to him.
Tang San felt absolute despair in his heart, even beginning to suspect whether he had been played by someone.
Just then, a row of torches suddenly appeared in the distance.
Tang San felt a flash of joy and was about to head over, but then realized something was off. Judging by the sheer numbers, it could definitely not be his father sending him a message.
Tang San hastily hid inside an abandoned house, harboring an intuition that these people were very likely connected to why his father had summoned him here.
Before long.
A group of Spirit Masters from the Soto City branch of Spirit Hall rushed over. The leader spoke up:
"We've received reliable intel that Tang Hao fled to Soto City and is hiding right at the old site of Shrek. Search every inch of this place!"
"Don't fear him! Our Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo will arrive shortly, and Tang Hao is gravely injured. As long as we find him, it'll be a massive achievement."
Hiding in the shadows, Tang San's heart instantly tightened upon hearing this.
Damn it!
Sure enough, they were here for his father. The reason his father had sent a message telling him to run back and hide in Heaven Dou City's Royal Academy was because people were hunting him down.
Could it be Spirit Hall?
"Sir, this area is too vast. It won't be easy to search."
"Then set fire to all the houses here and force him out."
Not good!
Hearing their conversation, Tang San immediately grew nervous and hastily darted out from the house where he was hiding.
"Someone's running over there! Quick, after him!"
"Send a signal immediately! Report that we found Tang Hao and request the Titled DouluoElder to come!"
Hearing the shouts echoing from the distance, Tang San grew even more anxious. He picked up his pace and sprinted towards the outside of Shrek Academy.
Fortunately, he was relatively familiar with Shrek Academy and easily slipped past the encircling Spirit Masters.
Right at this moment, a figure descended from the sky in the distance. Nine Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—shone with dazzling brilliance around his body.
Tang San's heart turned cold at the sight.
This is bad!
The enemy actually brought a Titled Douluo expert. With his current strength, even with Mysterious Heaven Skill and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Tracks, there was no way he could escape the pursuit of a Titled Douluo and so many Spirit Masters.
What should I do?
What should I do?
Tang San ran all the way outside Shrek. Just as despair gripped him, his eyes suddenly lit up. Tethered ahead were dozens of Soul Beast steeds.
One of them was extraordinarily sturdy, a full size larger than the horses around it.
"A Gale Steed! Judging by its build and coat, it has at least twenty thousand years of cultivation... Heaven never seals off all exits!"
Tang San was thrilled. He leaped up onto it at once. "Hyah!"
Nearby, a low-ranking Spirit Master guarding the horses shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Not good!"
"Quick, someone come! Tang Hao escaped from inside, stole our swift horse, and fled!"
"Hurry and inform the Titled Douluo, Your Holiness!"
At the old site of Shrek Academy.
Standing on the rooftop, Azure Phoenix Douluo watched as a streak of light rushed out in a flash. Exchanging a glance with Ghost Douluo, who was concealed in the darkness, a smile appeared on his face.
Ghost Douluo asked,
"Should we pursue now?"
Azure Phoenix Douluo replied calmly, "No rush. While the Gale Steed is fast, we still need to give him some time to pull ahead. He'll only have an advantage once he hits a straight road."
"That way, we can chase him to our hearts' content. Otherwise, if we actually catch up to him, it'll be awkward trying to go easy on him."
Ghost Douluo nodded. After all, a Titled Douluo could fly and reacted far too quickly; in the narrow terrain of village alleyways, Tang San wouldn't have stood a chance of escaping.
Soon after.
Azure Phoenix Douluo roared into the sky:
"Damned petty thief!"
"How dare you steal a prized steed from our Spirit Hall! Stop right now, or I will slaughter you the moment I catch up!"
"Everyone, pursue him! When we catch him, I'll tear him into ten thousand pieces!"
By this time, Tang San had already ridden far off. Seeing the cluster of firelight in the distance dwindle to a tiny speck, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
"Hahaha!!"
"Spirit Hall! What a great Spirit Hall—a bunch of fools!"
From the distance.
A mighty roar soon came echoing over.
"Petty thief, I've already locked onto your aura! You won't get away!"
"Pursue! All of you, after him!"
Tang San's heart tightened upon hearing the distant roars, and he swiftly urged the horse faster.
However.
His mood soon eased, as he discovered just how truly magnificent this Gale Steed was.
It was blisteringly fast!
The pursuers behind, even that Spirit HallTitled DouluoElder, couldn't match his speed at all on a straight road.
Tang San shouted at the top of his lungs:
"A Titled Douluo? What can a Titled Douluo do? You really think you can capture me, Tang Hao? Chase me if you've got the guts!"
"Hahaha!!"
Tang San:
A Titled Douluo is trying to kill me right now, but I'm not panicking in the slightest, because his horse can't run as fast as mine and he can't catch up to me at all.
Battle Qi manifests a horse—charge!
Azure Phoenix Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who were chasing from behind, couldn't hear what Tang San was shouting, but they could sense a hint of mockery in the air.
At this moment, it was only because Su Yan wasn't on the scene that he couldn't witness such a spectacular moment. Otherwise, he would have instantly recognized this classic scene:
Battle Qi manifests a horse, terrifying to such extent.
The night quickly passed.
Morning.
Yu Xiaogang slept peacefully in Brother Scar's arms.
This was the best night of sleep he had had since losing Brother Jie.
Uh, as for why it was good, you'd better not ask.
Just then, noisy voices suddenly came from outside:
"Everyone get up immediately! Spirit Hall is hunting wanted criminals. You have half an incense stick of time to get fully dressed and come down for inspection!"
Whoosh!
Both Yu Xiaogang and Brother Scar were startled awake, terror dawning in their eyes.
"Not good!"
"Those bastards from Spirit Hall have actually extended their reach into Heaven Dou City now."
"How dare they..."
Brother Scar hurriedly explained, "Xiaogang, stop talking about that for now. We can't let Spirit Hall discover our identities under any circumstances, or else not even the Heaven Dou Imperial Family stepping in can save us."
"How could that be possible?"
Yu Xiaogang said with disbelief, "This is Heaven Dou City. How dare those bastards from Spirit Hall arrest us here?"
Brother Scar shook his head. "Xiaogang, you don't understand. Rumor has it that Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect found ancient Soul Tool technology somewhere."
"All of their strength has been tremendously enhanced, and Spirit Hall boasts dozens of Titled Douluo. None of the factions across the Two Great Empires dare to provoke them now."
"Quick, let's jump out the window and escape first. I'll explain to you on the way."
