Hong——
"Aaaa——"
An ear piercing shriek came from Xiao Wu's mouth. What flowed from her eyes was no longer tears, but blood. It was also at this moment that she forcefully broke open the numbing acupuncture point Tang San sealed.
Tang San's right leg had disappeared, completely turning to nothing. But he himself was still dreadfully calm, at the same time as his mouth once again spit blood, his right hand dipped, spirit power madly rushing out of his body, and within that blood mist his right leg had turned into, he grabbed a blue crystalline leg bone.
Rotating sharply, he basically didn't pay any attention to the three attacks that were still continuing behind him, exerting himself to fling that right leg bone in Xiao Wu's direction.
"Xiao Wu, the leg bone can fly, quickly go——"
Tang San's voice was already completely hoarse, as if torn apart. He completely poured his last strength into this throw.
As early as the instant they leapt up, Tang San had already planned everything. He basically hadn't thought about leaving together with Xiao Wu. With spirit power largely consumed, confronting too many enemies more powerful than him, retreating intact was just lunatic ravings.
Shooting into the air, he used himself as Xiao Wu's shield, throwing her away. When he was unable to endure the enemy attacks, he used his right leg as the price to block, simultaneously using the same method Tang San used to strip his connection with the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone.
Tang San wasn't a Title Douluo, so he naturally didn't have the price to pay to voluntarily strip spirit bones. At this moment, what he paid, was his life.
At the same time as his right hand grabbed into the blood mist, his left hand already held an Eight Spider Lance splinter, resolutely piercing it into his heart. Only when paying with his life, could he forcefully strip the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone from his body.
Throwing out that Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone with his final vitality, when he had shouted those words, purple black blood wildly bubbled from Tang San's mouth.
But, he smiled. What his face displayed, was only a smiling expression.
What he didn't want to die at the hands of the enemies, the one he said he would protect, was Xiao Wu. He knew that with what he did, receiving his Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone in the air, Xiao Wu could inevitably escape into the sky.
The Sand Launching Shadow on his chest fired, shooting countless slender needles towards the not distant agility attack type Spirit Master. Even at this final moment, Tang San would still help Xiao Wu by delaying the enemies as far as possible, to ensure her safety.
On the ground, two silhouettes arrived at high speed. The moment they arrived was just as those seven lights soared up, chasing after Tang San.
The pupils of Xie Yue's eyes contracted, and arriving together with him, Hu Liena was already completely lifeless.
She watched Tang San's body shatter by light after light, watched him kill himself to get the bone, watched him shout the name of his most beloved, throwing a hope for life to his love, Hu Liena's vision became hazy, her body limp, collapsing in Xie Yue's arms.
In Xiao Wu's eyes.
The Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone flew towards her, Tang San's left hand resolutely stabbing an Eight Spider Lances splinter into his own heart, the remaining three powerful attacks about to engulf his body. He was paying with his life to give her the chance to survive.
At this moment she completely understood that everything was planned by Tang San. Her and his hearts seemed to connect.
'Ge, I'm sorry. This time, I can't let your plan succeed.'
Xiao Wu's eyes had already become blood red, like Tang San's back when he couldn't find her. Looking at Tang San's already broken, and about to be swallowed body, she suddenly raised her head in midair.
"Aaaa————"
An incomparably sharp lamenting cry burst from Xiao Wu's throat. That sharp voice seemed to make the entire Star Dou Great Forest shudder.
Glaring red light abruptly spread from the space between Xiao Wu's eyebrows, a circle of red light spreading out in a flash. Where that red light passed, everything was rendered the color of blood. Everything, at this moment, became still.
...
Hou——
Light simultaneously burst from the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python, two clouds of dense blood mist simultaneously spouting from their throats. In that instant, Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo's combined spirit fusion ability was no longer able to seal them. The gold and silver light shattered like glass.
With muffled groans, Yue Guan and Gui Mei simultaneously spit blood and separated, falling heavily on the shore. If the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python wanted to kill them right now, it would be as easy as lifting a hand or moving a foot.
But, the two great forest kinds didn't do so. From their mouths echoed sorrowful roars like a landslide or tsunami, and they simultaneously charged madly in one direction. Where they passed, the vegetation turned to broken pieces.
...
Sunset Forest, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Tang Hao sat quietly on the ground. In front of him, the verdant and lush blue silver emperor had already grown several times larger, each blade of grass swaying softly.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was one of the treasure bowls with the best features of Heaven and earth, this was a paradise for plants. The blue silver emperor's growth speed here could only be described as terrifying. Even more when she still had been nourished by her son's blood.
Even though she couldn't speak, her consciousness was slowly recovering along with her growth.
Suddenly, Tang Hao's closed eyes abruptly opened, and the blue silver emperor in front of him also swayed violently, countless blades of grass swiftly twisting around Tang Hao's hands.
Tang Hao's complexion immediately turned pale,
"Ah Yin. You, did you also feel it?"
The blue silver emperor shuddered violently, each blade of grass constantly trembling as if saying something.
Tang Hao's eyes were filled with disbelief,
"No, wouldn't, our little San is so outstanding, how would he, how would he meet a life crisis..."
Even if Tang Hao no longer was the Clear Sky Douluo, his previous cultivation made his spiritual force extremely sensitive. The connection of blood allowed him to clearly sense the constantly fading life signs in the distance.
"Yi——"
Suddenly, Tang Hao's expression changed, and the blue silver emperor no longer trembled. Tang Hao's eyes opened wide, gazing into the distance,
"This, what's this... How would, little San, don't tell me, don't tell me you've met the same fate as your dad."
Tang Hao's lips shuddered. His son might not need to die, but, could it be that he would now still have to face the same living being worse than death feelings he once did?
...
Stillness, everything in that red light had turned completely still. Even the spirit power attacks the Spirit Sages released had stagnated in midair.
The only thing that could move, was the center of that red light.
Xiao Wu had turned completely red. That was a crystalline and piercing deep red. The clothes she wore had already completely turned to ash, exposing her perfect body. Sparkling and translucent like ruby.
No one could see her, because at this moment, the things that had stopped included the consciousnesses of the surrounding people.
This was the power belonging to a hundred thousand year spirit beast, especially when she had ignited her life energy.
With a casual move, that Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone had fallen into her grasp. Quietly descending in front of Tang San, big drops of blood tears softly fell on Tang San's chest.
Softly holding Tang San, Xiao Wu's voice whispered by his ear,
"Ge, you really are really, really foolish. Don't tell me that I could still live alone when you died? I don't want you to die, I want you to live. I truly hoped I could live together with you, just like before. But, we can't. When I'm not here, you must take good care of yourself, otherwise my heart will break."
Intense light sparkling, light abruptly flashed on Xiao Wu's face, holding Tang San's body to slowly fall to the ground. The Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone in her hand once again stuck into the socket of Tang San's broken leg.
Right now, that blood red gaze was filled with tenderness, the only thing in her eyes the man in her embrace.
Lowering her head, softly, softly kissing his lips, she gripped Tang San's right hand, pulling out that broken Eight Spider Lances stabbed into his heart. Since everything was still, no blood flowed out.
A red flame began to burn on Xiao Wu's body. That wasn't fire, but rather an extremely peculiar blood flame. And what it burned was Xiao Wu's blood, her life, and still her hundred thousand years of cultivation.
Just like Tang San's mother Ah Yin, in order to save her lover, she made the same choice.
The blood flame grew more and more flourishing, gradually turning from red to deep red, and Xiao Wu's body also gradually faded in this process, like a red crystal growing more and more transparent.
The immense red circle that had spread out gradually contracted, revolving around Xiao Wu, and around her man.
At this moment, the stillness caused by that immense red magnetic field gradually weakened. The first to recover was the consciousnesses of all the people in range.
Looking at that blood red brilliance, all the Spirit Hall experts were stupefied. The splendor Xiao Wu's body released was too intense, up until they were basically unable to clearly see her appearance. But in their hearts, they could already imagine what she was doing right now.
Hundred thousand year cultivation, that was a hundred thousand years of cultivation.
Hu Liena awoke from unconsciousness. Under the effect of her skull spirit bone, her eyesight was a lot better than others. And what she saw was also just Xiao Wu's eyes, attentively gazing at Tang San.
What eyes were those, even though they released blood red light, the concentrated love in the depths of those eyes was like it could burn your soul.
Purple black blood constantly bubbled from the wound on Tang San's chest. That was the venom of the Eight Spider Lances, and elsewhere, the injuries were recovering at an astonishing speed, enveloped in that deep red blood flame. Especially the already missing right leg, was unexpectedly gradually growing back around the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone.
It seemed as if a miracle was occurring before the eyes of these Spirit Hall experts.
Tang San's expression had vitality again. What he saw was only that pair of eyes, that pair of beautiful eyes brimming with love and sorrow.
'No, don't, Xiao Wu, why didn't you leave...'
Tang San wanted to struggle. Endless pain flooded his eyes. He of course understood what Xiao Wu was doing, and he understood even clearer the consequences. But, he couldn't stop it. He was basically unable to move. He could only watch everything in front of him develop in the direction he feared the most.
