"Bang."
"Bang."
"Bang."
Tang San's cultivation level surged at that moment, breaking through the fiftieth level in an instant. Such a rapid increase in cultivation would probably make anyone's eyes pop if they witnessed it. How could they not be envious, when he boosted his cultivation so abruptly, something that would take others years of arduous training?
Now, Tang San was already chosen as the inheritor selected by the Rakshasa God. Moreover, the Rakshasa God favored Tang San even more than Bibi Dong, not because of the gap in their cultivation talents, but because Tang San was more evil compared to Bibi Dong, more like a Rakshasa from hell.
"Xu Ran, this is all because you forced me, you made me do this!" Tang San's eyes were blood-red, his body exuded an endless evil aura, and his face twisted hideously.
"One day, I will make you pay your blood debt in full!"
"I will not only kill you, but also take pleasure in your woman, I want to see your face of despair," Tang San said sinisterly, his mentality utterly shattered by Xu Ran.
Once his strength was enough to crush Xu Ran beneath his feet, he would act against the women by Xu Ran's side.
Xu Ran cared about them, didn't he? At that time, he would strip them of their cultivation and then do as he pleased. He wanted to let Xu Ran know what despair was. He wanted Xu Ran to kneel on the ground, begging him like a dog. Then, he would be the true king.
"And Xiaowu, haven't I been good enough to you? Why did you believe Xu Ran? Is he really that great? Always following him around, helping him against me. Don't worry, once I kill Xu Ran, I will lay my hands on you. Even if I can't have your heart, I will have your body," Tang San said bitterly, tears of blood streaming from his eyes. He hadn't wanted to walk this path of no return; it was Xu Ran who had driven him to it!
Since Xu Ran wanted to play the noble hero, hogging all the glory for himself, why should he bother competing for the role of the good guy? If Xu Ran wanted to be the hero, then he would be the villain. What's so bad about being a bit more wicked?
After a long while, the black mist around his body dissipated, and the agitated soul power fluctuations on Tang San gradually subsided. However, his eyes, filled with grievous anger, remained shockingly evil, causing palpitations. If anyone were to look into Tang San's eyes at that moment, they might well be led down a path of no return.
Standing by Tang San's side, Titan, influenced by the powerful evil thoughts of the Rakshasa God, was also tainted with a thick aura of malevolence, and his cultivation had made significant progress.
"Congratulations, Young Master, your cultivation has greatly advanced. Your talents even surpass that of the master. In the future, you are destined to become a powerful individual who will slay Xu Ran," Titan said, his pupils tinged with a faint grey, loyally devoted to Tang San.
There was an indescribably powerful aura about Tang San that inspired awe in him.
"I know, I will soon be a Soul King. Then, I will have many more methods at my disposal," Tang San took a deep breath as the Rakshasa God's Thoughts once again receded into his body, and his emotions gradually calmed, but his hatred for Xu Ran did not diminish in the least.
He now only resented his own lack of strength; otherwise, he would have wanted to kill Xu Ran right then and there.
"Hmm, I will always support the Young Master wholeheartedly," Titan said earnestly.
"Good," Tang San's lips curled upward, revealing an extremely evil smile.
"Xu Ran, just you wait and see. The one who starts out ahead doesn't necessarily get the last laugh, and it's still uncertain who will bag the deer. Since my father has passed and the other families are hard to subdue, then why not..." Tang San sneered. His teacher had earlier suggested this course of action, wanting to take him to the Martial Soul Hall.
But back then, Tang San and Martial Soul Hall had an irreconcilable enmity. It was the people of Martial Soul Hall who had killed his mother, how could he possibly join Martial Soul Hall?
Moreover, he was still eyeing the power of the four great families. Once roped together, they would also be a huge force, maybe not as strong as the upper three families, but they could match any of the Lower Four Sects.
And now, everything had gone to ruin.
With his father dead, he no longer had any psychological burden. Now the one he hated the most was not Martial Soul Hall, but Xu Ran. Xu Ran was so powerful that he threatened Martial Soul Hall; if he could join Martial Soul Hall and use their hand to eliminate Xu Ran, that would be an exceedingly satisfying matter.
Once Xu Ran died and he grew powerful, uprooting Martial Soul Hall wouldn't be impossible either.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
He must win over Martial Soul Hall to contend against Xu Ran.
Most crucially, as his teacher had said, although Bi Bidong was the Pope, she was just a woman deeply in love with him, devoted to doing whatever he wanted her to do.
Once they, master and disciple, went to Martial Soul Hall, wouldn't they become like emperors of their own territory?
"No hurry, let's take it slow, everything has just begun," Tang San's sneer rang out, full of optimism for the future. He had heard that Pope Bibi Dong was stunningly beautiful, a goddess among humans, and this woman was his teacher's.
As for him, as long as his teacher was with Bi Bidong, he could become the Martial Spirit Hall Holy Son, and the goddess of Martial Soul Hall was also said to be quite remarkable... If so...
"Heh, what Xiaowu, what Bai Chenxiang, compared to the goddess of Martial Soul Hall, you are all just rouge and vulgar powder," Tang San said with disdain. Martial Soul Hall was the most powerful force on the Continent, and the stature of their goddess was supremely exalted; only such a person was worth his pursuit.
...
"'Host' brother, Rakshasa God's Thoughts has been provoked by Tang San again, and now Tang San is likely to become the most favored Inheritor of the Rakshasa God," the moment Xu Ran lay down, System Miss reminded him.
"And now Tang San is preparing to follow Yu Xiaogang to Martial Soul Hall, making use of their power to deal with you."
"At present, in Martial Soul Hall, except for Qian Renxue who might stand by your side, the rest have no fondness for you. Even though Ci Tun Dou Luo and others have said they want to win you over, there has been an ongoing dispute within Martial Soul Hall about whether to win you over or assassinate you, without any resolution. After Yu Xiaogang goes to Martial Soul Hall, Bi Bidong might follow his advice and make a move against you," System Miss said while analyzing the situation for Xu Ran.
"What do you mean 'Qian Renxue might stand by my side'? Qian Renxue is my wife, and it's possible for us to be insiders together, isn't it?" Xu Ran shot System Miss a disdainful look.
"Well, you haven't taken the final step yet," System Miss pouted.
"However, the fact that Tang San is going to Martial Soul Hall, tch, he must be beside himself with anger. But let him have that mindset if he wishes. If Tang San stayed in Tiandou City, I would still worry that at some point his mentality might explode, and he might lash out at Xiaowu and the others. Although I'm strong, I can't always be by their side, so it's actually less trouble if Tang San really leaves," Xu Ran was indifferent, having Qian Renxue in his grasp and a deep mutual affection, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang couldn't stir up any trouble.
However, Bi Bidong was indeed a great beauty, and he too was quite tempted; when the time came, he would also make a move on Martial Soul Hall, and if he won Bi Bidong's heart, Martial Soul Hall would become his, Xu Ran's, power.
