Facing the dozens of hidden weapons that Tang San suddenly shot out in an instant, Qian Renxue merely let out a cold laugh. A golden sword light swept forth, and these hidden weapons forged from various kinds of steel began to slowly evaporate in mid-air, ultimately vanishing without a trace.
"You're called Tang San, right? The descendant of Tang Hao and that hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Empress…"
Qian Renxue held a golden longsword and constantly shuttled between the numerous disciples of the Clear Sky Sect. With each graceful sword light, lives were swiftly extinguished.
The Angel Domain, as the innate domain of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, was undoubtedly powerful. Even though Qian Renxue had not yet perfectly awakened it at the Soul Saint level, by relying on the superb coordination between her Martial Soul, soul skills, and soul bones, she could still barely deploy it. However, its power was greatly weakened, and the consumption on herself was quite significant.
"Exactly…"
"And who are you…"
Tang San struggled to raise his head. Despair and hatred intertwined in his eyes as he stared fixedly at Qian Renxue.
"The daughter of the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, Qian Renxue…"
"From the moment we were born, you and I have been mortal enemies. Unfortunately, you are too young, and the Clear Sky Sect is full of people who realize things too late. They are not enough to support you in opposing the vast Spirit Hall, nor are they worthy of being my opponents…"
Qian Renxue quickly slaughtered all the Clear Sky Sect disciples within the domain, leaving only Tang San and the other two at the very back still clinging to life.
"Your Spirit Hall forced my mother to sacrifice herself, caused my father to go missing, and made my teacher depressed and unhappy. You're right, we have long been irreconcilable enemies…"
"Even if I fight until the last moment, I will never let your Spirit Hall off…"
By the end, Tang San's voice even carried a slight roar.
Countless Blue Silver Grass burst out from the ground under his control and surged toward Qian Renxue in a near-frenzied manner.
Qian Renxue merely sneered at this. With two casual swings of her sword, she cut down all the Blue Silver Grass and advanced step by step toward the three of them.
"The faint glow of Blue Silver Grass could never compare to the brilliant radiance with which the Six-Winged Angel illuminates the world. Even if you truly defy the heavens, so what? This is the current chasm between us. Without real action, verbal bravado is as laughable as the death throes of an ant…"
Tang San gritted his teeth tightly. Blood had already seeped from the corner of his mouth. Facing the vast gulf between him and Qian Renxue, he could not help but feel utter despair and unwillingness.
'Sixth soul ability! It derives from the golden pistil!'
"Fifth Soul Skill! Yin Sen Ghost Roar!"
Accompanied by a nearby golden glow and a roar like one from hell, the two Super Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, quickly returned to their positions behind Qian Renxue. Their postures had barely changed at all.
Chrysanthemum Douluo toyed with his fingers, then respectfully bowed slightly and said in a vigorous voice:
"Miss, the two of us detected someone approaching this direction. There are two Title Douluo, one at level ninety-two and one at level ninety-three…"
Qian Renxue frowned slightly and then said:
"Are they from the Clear Sky Sect?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding.
"Hmph, the Clear Sky Sect is quite well-prepared. They even prepared a backup plan in advance. Unfortunately, two Title Douluo of this level are still far from enough to change the situation."
"Kill Tang San and Tang Yuehua completely. As for this hundred-thousand-year rabbit, take her back. She can serve as a reserve for my seventh soul ring later…"
Chrysanthemum and Ghost immediately bowed and accepted the order. Qian Renxue glanced at the three of them, then leaped straight into the air and began to pay attention to the battlefield above, where the situation was gradually becoming clear.
…
Looking at Chrysanthemum and Ghost slowly approaching the three of them, Tang San finally cast a despairing glance at the gloomy sky and slowly closed his eyes…
Bang—
Accompanied by a loud explosion, Chrysanthemum Douluo clutched his right hand and cried out miserably as he was blasted backward. Ghost Douluo's expression also changed drastically.
Qian Renxue turned her head, and her expression could not help but change dramatically as well.
At this moment, Xiao Wu's entire body was ignited with blood-red flames. A dazzling red light, condensed like crystal, slowly illuminated the entire sky. Finally, it shattered the thick dark clouds overhead. Golden sunlight poured down from above, making Tang San's trembling, incredulous face appear even paler and more despairing.
"Xiao… Xiao Wu, what are you doing…"
"No… this is a sacrifice… Xiao Wu! Stop, hurry, and stop! Do you know what sacrifice means for you? Even if you sacrifice yourself to protect me for a moment today, what about afterward? I will still be unable to escape death. Xiao Wu, stop quickly, don't do something foolish…"
"Xiao Wu, listen to your brother, stop now…"
"Didn't we agree? Even if we die, your brother should die before you. What are you doing now! Stop, I'm begging you…"
Tang San struggled to get up, but the red light around him firmly restricted his movements. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move an inch. He could only watch as the blood-red flames on Xiao Wu's body grew larger and larger, eventually even blocking his vision…
Xiao Wu, who had been silent all along, let out a soft sigh and then said:
"Brother, from the time I met you at six years old, I spent the happiest seven years of my life. I experienced so many things with you that I had never heard of before, and for the first time, I felt the warmth of the human world…"
"I experienced so many firsts with you, and it made my once monotonous life gain color and fun for the first time. Besides working hard for revenge, my life finally had a goal…"
"Brother, being with you is truly something that makes me incredibly happy and something I look forward to… You know, I have never only wanted to be your sister…"
"The sacrifice cannot be stopped. Brother, no matter what, promise me that you must live on, carrying the hatred we both share, until the day the Spirit Hall is destroyed…"
Two crystal-clear tears fell from the corners of Xiao Wu's eyes. Her gaze toward Tang San was filled with indescribable complexity and attachment. The blood-red flames grew even denser, and the domain produced during the sacrifice of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast became increasingly solid. Just as the last ray of light in Tang San's eyes was about to be extinguished, a light snort sounded from the surrounding space. In an instant, the blood-red crystal-like domain suddenly developed a huge crack. Xiao Wu suffered a backlash and violently spat out a mouthful of blood, but the blood-red flames on her body continued to burn.
A terrifying pressure erupted from the sky. Visible fluctuations directly pressed the four people entangled in a fierce battle back to the ground. The surroundings instantly became quiet. Under everyone's shocked gazes, a peerlessly elegant figure suddenly shattered through space and appeared above. Her long, narrow purple eyes swept over the crowd as if she could dominate everything.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Gu Yuena let out a cold laugh and then said with considerable disdain.
"A mere hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit. Truly, as foolish as that Blue Silver Empress. When did the Star Dou Great Forest produce so many idiots? Sacrifice… what a laughable act…"
As she spoke, a giant dragon phantom suddenly emerged behind Gu Yuena. A long, majestic dragon roar resounded through heaven and earth. The domineering aura belonging to the co-ruler of soul beasts completely erupted at this moment.
Several Super Douluo stood in front of Qian Renxue, barely resisting the terrifying pressure from Gu Yuena. The shock in their eyes could not be expressed in words. This was absolute suppression.
Tang Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up with the support of the disheveled Tang Yuehua. His aura was extremely unstable, but the shock in his eyes remained undiminished.
Gu Yuena's right hand slowly became covered with piece after piece of dragon scales. Then, an indescribable energy erupted from her hand and slammed directly into the blood-red domain. The moment the two came into contact, the blood-red domain emitted a sound of being overwhelmed and then collapsed violently.
Xiao Wu spat out another mouthful of blood. Her figure began to sway unsteadily, her aura so weak that it seemed she would pass away at any moment.
Freed from the restraints, Tang San scrambled forward on all fours to support her, but the next moment, he was abruptly stopped in place by Gu Yuena's indifferent gaze. His entire body's blood seemed to freeze, his body detached from his control, and he knelt straight down.
"Kneel…"
Gu Yuena's voice, devoid of any emotion, sounded. Xiao Wu's entire body trembled as if she had seen the ultimate terror of the world. Her body shook uncontrollably, and tears fell like broken pearls. She then knelt straight down. Behind her, the phantom of a Soft Bone Rabbit emerged, but at this moment, it also assumed a posture of complete prostration and submission.
"Co… Co-ruler…"
Xiao Wu's trembling voice sounded. Her head hung down tightly, not daring to look up at Gu Yuena at all. She only kept trembling. Even the intense pain from the backlash she suffered from within was temporarily forgotten. Blood continued to drip from the corner of her mouth, but she did not dare to make the slightest movement.
She did not know who Gu Yuena really was, but the fear and sense of submission originating from the deepest part of her bloodline made her clearly understand that the woman before her, whom she had never seen before, was undoubtedly the most terrifying existence among soul beasts, the kind of forbidden existence that Da Ming and Er Ming mentioned with extreme fear.
Qian Renxue and her group also tensed up. The oppressive feeling this suddenly appearing woman gave them was simply too great. It felt as if the other party only needed one move and they would uncontrollably turn into flying ash and disappear from the world…
Qian Renxue stared fixedly at Gu Yuena, who stood high above like a deity. The desire for supreme power in her heart rose to its peak once again.
She was a woman who refused to admit defeat and also a woman who pursued perfection. This kind of power that could suppress everything with a wave of the hand was exactly what she sought.
On the other side, Tang Xiao coughed out two mouthfuls of black blood, then quietly moved closer to Tang Yuehua and said softly:
"Yuehua, the opponent's strength is too powerful. The injuries in my body can no longer support me in continuing to resist. This woman's target seems to be that hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit. The other two Title Douluo elders of the sect are waiting not far away. Once an opportunity arises, take Xiao San and escape immediately. Do not look back. Do not worry about me. I have the Great Sumeru Hammer to protect myself; nothing will happen to me…"
Tears filled Tang Yuehua's eyes as she shook her head frantically, but the next moment, she was suddenly sent to Tang San's side by Tang Xiao using soul power. At that very moment, the two Title Douluos in the distance also instantly received Tang Xiao's message and flew quickly toward this side, wanting to find the right timing to take the two away.
Gu Yuena also noticed their small movements, but she did not care at all. To her, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that kept trying to sacrifice itself at every turn was far more interesting than these humans.
She did not care about Xiao Wu's life or death. There were countless ordinary Soft Bone Rabbits on the Douluo Continent. If one Soft Bone Rabbit Empress died, a new one would be born before long. Moreover, even if one successfully became Empress, limited by bloodline, this type of soul beast's combat power was even inferior to some ordinary ten-thousand-year dragon clan soul beasts…
What she cared about was why Xiao Wu was sacrificing herself. In her eyes, an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beast sacrificing itself to a human was undoubtedly a disgrace.
Of course, those ferocious beasts who had chosen to join Shen Hanyu's camp were excluded. The first reason was that Shen Hanyu had given them sufficiently generous returns. The second, and particularly important, reason was that she could not beat Shen Hanyu anymore…
But if one were to use Shen Hanyu's words, this was called "being love-brained." Although Gu Yuena did not quite understand what it exactly meant, she could roughly grasp some of it.
She, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, would never become love-brained!
Gu Yuena did not care about the life or death of Tang San and the others, but Qian Renxue and her group cared very much. This was no longer just about killing people; it was also for the sake of the Spirit Hall's reputation.
Back then, Qian Xunji had brought a large group of experts, including two other Title Douluo for support. Yet even with such a luxurious lineup, they had fallen to Tang Hao, who had just entered the Title Douluo realm. This had dealt a significant blow to the morale of the entire Spirit Hall and its reputation and status on the continent.
And now?
Five Super Douluo had surrounded and attacked a ninety-seventh-level Super Douluo along with some scattered Soul Douluo and weak disciples, yet they still let the opponents escape. If this news spread, the Spirit Hall's prestige would probably become a complete laughingstock overnight. For the next several decades, whenever the Spirit Hall was mentioned, it would be inseparable from shame and humiliation…
Two unfamiliar auras came from the distant forest. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived nearby. The two were dressed in black, tight-fitting clothes, holding Haotian Hammers, with nine soul rings circling beneath their feet.
The two quickly scanned their surroundings. When they saw the greatly weakened Tang Xiao, their pupils contracted sharply. Without caring about anything else, they prepared to grab Tang San and Tang Yuehua each and escape.
But before they could get close to Tang San and the others, their bodies exploded in mid-air without any warning. Blood and flesh fragments scattered everywhere, blood mist filling the air. It was a tragic and gruesome sight.
Shen Hanyu, along with Snow Emperor and Shui Bing'er, slowly walked out of the nearby forest. The one who had just attacked was Shen Hanyu.
The situation in the field was stirred up once again. No one had expected this scene.
Two Title Douluo were instantly killed in front of them without any ability to resist. For a moment, everyone fell into a daze.
In the end, it was Tang Xiao's furious roar that snapped everyone out of their stupor and shock.
Snow Emperor glanced at Tang Xiao, whose face showed three parts rage, three parts defeat, three parts despair, and one part disbelief, and then gently made a pressing motion with her palm toward that side.
Tang Xiao realized something was wrong, but the next moment, he was firmly immobilized in place by an incomparably powerful aura. Even when Tang Xiao exerted all his strength, he still could not make the slightest resistance or movement.
"Perhaps you still have some impression of me…"
Shen Hanyu's tone was surprisingly gentle. Unlike Snow Emperor's cold and arrogant demeanor in front of outsiders, Shui Bing'er kept holding onto one of Shen Hanyu's arms. In such a scene, she was still somewhat nervous. Only by staying by Shen Hanyu's side could she feel a comfortable sense of security.
Tang San raised his head and looked at Shen Hanyu, who seemed completely unruffled by the scene, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said word by word:
"It's you…"
Shen Hanyu raised an eyebrow. He had no intention of delving into what Tang San meant by "it's you" and simply nodded lightly.
Then, without waiting for Tang San to continue speaking, a Blue Silver Grass that looked completely different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass suddenly appeared in Shen Hanyu's hand, instantly drawing Tang San's gaze tightly to it.
"This… this is…?"
Tang San struggled to half-kneel and asked in disbelief.
On this stalk of Blue Silver Grass, he felt an extraordinary sensation. This feeling came from his bloodline, giving him an unprecedented warmth and attachment. Previously, this feeling had only appeared with Tang Hao…
"You probably sensed it as well…"
"This is the Life Seed left behind after the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Empress fell. At the same time, it is also your… mother…"
Shen Hanyu said calmly, then tossed the Life Seed in his hand to Tang San.
Tang San was stunned, then steadily caught the flying Blue Silver Empress Life Seed.
The moment the two came into contact, before Tang San himself even reacted, a tear had already slid from the corner of his eye and finally landed on the leaf of the Blue Silver Empress.
At the same time, the Blue Silver Empress seemed to sense something as well. It trembled wildly, then extended a blue leaf and carefully stroked Tang San's face.
Tang San stood frozen in place like a statue. Although the Blue Silver Empress was now in plant form, the touch it gave him felt incredibly real, as if it were truly a flesh-and-blood body.
"Mom…"
Tang San murmured, then tremblingly touched the leaf of the Blue Silver Empress. Mother and son were of one heart; in that instant, the two of them almost simultaneously felt each other's emotions surging like ocean waves.
Shen Hanyu did not rush to interrupt this touching scene. Instead, with a wave of his hand, he made the surroundings completely quiet. Almost everyone uncontrollably closed their mouths, and even the howling wind and clouds lost their sound.
Xiao Wu stared blankly at Tang San, trembling while holding the Blue Silver Empress. Due to Gu Yuena's presence, she did not dare to step forward to comfort Tang San directly, nor could she even make a sound.
"Life is a journey. The process is different for everyone. Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are mixed within it. Twists and turns have become the norm. But when approaching the end, some people may not even recognize who they really are…"
"The end of one life often signals the beginning of another…"
"Tang San, your life should have ended many years ago, just like mine…"
"You and I are essentially the same…"
Shen Hanyu said softly. At this moment, his mood became even calmer. Each word seemed to carry a strange power to soothe people's hearts, causing everyone to involuntarily relax.

At first, Tang San did not pay much attention, but as he listened to Shen Hanyu's words one by one, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning…
