And in fact, after Tang San's personally modulated poison entered the body, besides the one struck by Purple God Light, the other six Spirit Sages were already completely out of luck.
The power of Tang Sect's secret lore was really too great in a sneak attack.
Tang San was very fast, with the boost of the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone as well as the increase of Eight Spider Lances ignoring terrain, his speed had already reached the pinnacle. But the ones chasing him were still Spirit Sage level powers. There was no lack of agility attack type Spirit Masters among them. With them in pursuit, the distance between both sides was still constantly closing.
Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step was admittedly wondrous, but Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step was best at dodging, not running.
Tang San very clearly knew that in the world of his old life, there were some movement arts that were more suited to this kind of situation than Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, like Shaolin's Eight Step Catching Cicada as well as a kind of Transient Light Passing Shadow movement art. However, what use were these right now? All he could do was only constantly move forwards.
Having reached the Spirit Sage level, if the qi locked on the opponent, as long as they didn't leave a certain range, it was impossible to lose them. Among the thirteen Spirit Sages there were altogether five agility attack type Spirit Masters. The five spread into a semi circle, half surrounding them like lightning.
Let alone these five being able to kill Tang San and capture Xiao Wu, even if they couldn't as long as they could tangle with Tang San for a while, allowing their companions to catch up from behind, the outcome would still be the same.
The longer he confronted crises, the sharper Tang San's mind became. Brain operating rapidly, thinking about ways to get out of the current danger.
Gradually, they had already left the territory of the two great spirit beast kings, and in the surroundings also began to appear the auras of spirit beasts. To Tang San and Xiao Wu, this wasn't any good news. With their present speed, if they were stopped just for a moment by alerted spirit beasts, the enemies behind them would swiftly catch up.
"Ge."
Xiao Wu softly called out.
Tang San lowered his head. His spiritual force found the path forward, and the effect of his eyes was on the contrary not as clear.
Using a hand to softly coil Xiao Wu's long hair, Tang San pulled her in tight,
"As long as I still live, I won't ever let them harm you."
Saying so, Tang San's speed forward suddenly dropped. His body was abruptly raised outright, the top four Eight Spider Lances thrusting into the trunks of two large trees ahead, bringing him across the trees like a giant spider, successively crossing several great trees.
Tang San's movements naturally had a destination, he was circling to one side. The five people chasing closest behind moved held a semicircular pattern. He was currently circling to one side, and thus, when the opponents caught up, they didn't have to face the attacks of five Spirit Sages at once.
A blue light halo suddenly released, and the blue silver grass on the ground began to grow frantically. With blue silver grass growing everywhere in the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San's strength could undoubtedly be displayed to its greatest extent.
This absolutely wasn't the time to be merciful. Tang San's eyes were already filled with a ruthless ice chill.
That closest agility attack type Spirit Master was already in viewing distance. Monstrously fast, dashing in Tang San's direction just like a phantom.
Seeing the opponent approach, Tang San no longer moved his body, Eight Spider Lances sticking to a tree trunk behind him, suspending him and Xiao Wu in the air.
That pursuing agility attack type Spirit Master was roughly fifty years old. He didn't have Tang San's ability to probe with spiritual force, but pulled by the energy he could still sense that he approached the target with extreme speed, and was immediately overjoyed. Seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu's silhouettes appear before him, both his hands immediately turned into sharp blades, throwing himself forward like a bolt of lightning.
This agility attack type Spirit Master's spirit was called Spirit Chasing Swallow, excelling in speed and arcing attacks, its attack power unusually high. Right now, in order to pursue Tang San, he had already fully used his Spirit Avatar, and his entire body was like an immense black swallow, cutting straight at Tang San and Xiao Wu with a pitch black chill in the air.
"Stop."
Tang San shouted.
Just as if following orders, the Soul Chasing Swallow Spirit Sage abruptly slowed in midair, completely stalling in the air, falling towards the ground. His body was already twisted up by numerous and densely packed Blue Silver Emperor. In order to deal with any eventualities, as early as before they met Xiao Wu, Tang San had already spread Parasite Blue Silver Emperor seeds on each member of the Spirit Hall party except the two Title Douluo. Launching it now, was just right to catch him off guard.
However, the opponent had still used Spirit Avatar. It could only really delay him for one second. His body had just started falling, when the Blue Silver Emperor twisting around him were already torn apart by his unreasoning attack power.
But this one second, to Tang San, was already enough.
Throwing himself head on, exploiting the flying ability of the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, Tang San charged forward in the split second the opponent was restrained. The opponent was originally charging towards him, and under such circumstances, the distance closed in the blink of an eye.
Both Tang San's hands looped and pulled at his chest, the Clear Sky Hammer already appearing out of nowhere. With a keng sound, the opponent's hand blades were both scattered the moment he broke free of Parasite.
In terms of both Spirit Power as well as the opponent's Spirit Avatar strength, Tang San would ordinarily inevitably be sent flying here. But in fact, Tang San still didn't break out of fighting range. Because, those incomparably sharp Eight Spider Lances were already thrusting towards the opponent's body from eight directions.
Blue Silver Emperor's second spirit ability, Parasite, stunning the opponent and frantically breaking free, this was all in Tang San's grasp of timing. It was just that split second that the battle was already decided.
Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer blocked the opponent's attack, but the enormous impulse also made his Clear Sky Hammer rebound. Tang San's other hand promptly pulled away Xiao Wu, his Clear Sky Hammer directly striking his chest, and the opponent's hand blades also left bloody scars.
But this was also all that this Soul Chasing Swallow Spirit Sage accomplished. His body was instantly corroded when the Eight Spider Lances entered his body. Tang San clearly felt the opponent's vitality rush out through the Eight Spider Lances, and his own previously enormously consumed spirit power also subsequently recovered somewhat.
How heavy was the Clear Sky Hammer? Even more when it was mixed with the opponent's spirit power attack. Tang San felt a sweet taste, and with a belching sound he vomited up a mouthful of fresh blood. But when the Eight Spider Lances left the opponent's body, it had already completely turned into a dried out corpse, completely emptied by the Eight Spider Lances.
From start to finish, the entire process only took less than three seconds. In practically a single breath, the fight was already over.
If it was a one versus one battle, relying on his two great domains and three great spirit bones, even if Tang San's spirit power was ten ranks lower than the opponent's, he could still be certain of victory, even to the extent of a complete victory.
However, right now he basically didn't have the time to carefully look for the opponent's gaps to reach victory. Fighting quickly to reach a conclusion quickly let him use this method of using his life to take the opponent's life, instantly dealing with this Spirit Sage level agility attack type Spirit Master.
What was called using his life to take the opponent's life wasn't the same as doing his utmost. What Tang San did was use the smallest price to achieve the greatest results.
He had only spit out a mouthful of blood and suffered light injuries, the chest wounds weren't deep either. But taking the opponent's life in return, this was undoubtedly an extremely profitable exchange.
The moment he pulled out Eight Spider Lances, Tang San again pulled Xiao Wu close and shot away. The instant he left his former position, at least four long range attacks struck the place he just was. The other four agility attack type Spirit Masters were already catching up.
Tang San understood that in order to separate Xiao Wu from the pursuers, these agility attack type Spirit Masters had to be dealt with. Otherwise, he basically couldn't outrun the opponents. If they were blocked by spirit beasts, he and Xiao Wu would be finished. Therefore, he brazenly decided that, no matter how, he still had to think of a way to dispose of them.
On the surface it seemed that he had paid a very small price, but Tang San's heart was still bitter.
Spirit Sages were after all Spirit Sages, especially Spirit Sages already using Spirit Avatar. In spirit power, he basically wasn't on their level. Even this comprehensively advantageous exchange just now, Tang San was counter struck in the chest with the Clear Sky Hammer, and right now he was still aching. Those sharp blades streaking across his chest had even more delivered a destructive sharp energy into his body, doing its utmost to drill into him, forcing him to divert a portion of Mysterious Heaven Skill inner strength to drive it out.
Thus, his and Xiao Wu's speed forward dropped once again. The other four already berserk agility attack type Spirit Masters were catching up with astonishing speed.
Previously pulled aside by Tang San, Xiao Wu stared blankly at the wounds that agility attack type Spirit Sage left on Tang San's chest, immediately awakening from her charming gentleness. Gathering air to lighten her body, she did her utmost to lessen the burden on Tang San.
"Ge, what do we do?"
Tang San spoke in a low voice as he swiftly rushed forward:
"We have to get rid of these agility attack type Spirit Masters behind us, otherwise we won't be able to escape. Just now I killed one, there are still four."
Xiao Wu smiled sweetly, the circumstances before her eyes making her feel as if she had returned to those days she and Tang San faced powerful enemies in the Great Spirit Arena.
"Then let our Three Five Combination give them something to look at."
While speaking, Xiao Wu embraced Tang San's neck with one hand, her entire body slipping over Tang San's shoulders as if boneless, reaching Tang San's back. As her soft as if boneless delicate body passed Tang San's body, dense spirit power fluctuations immediately released.
