Soul Land: Exposing Tang San

Chapter 248: Tang Chen's Desperate Sacrifice! The Battle Erupts! Tang San...

"Don't even think about running!"

Seeing Su Yun evade his attack with just a golden light, Tang Chen's expression changed. He couldn't let them escape so easily. A terrifying power emanated from within him, and the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul appeared in his hand.

"Tang Chen! How dare you!" Qian Daoliu saw Tang Chen intending to use such immense power, clearly aiming to kill both his granddaughter and Su Yun!

"Hahaha, Qian Daoliu, since you refuse to let us go, we shall all perish here today!" Tang Chen laughed wildly, a black soul ring under his feet suddenly lighting up. "But even if I die, your Spirit Hall brats will go first!"

Boom!

Tang Chen's hammer struck down with a force that seemed to shake the void. The terrifying sound and soul power wave instantly destroyed all the surrounding buildings.

Those waiting outside for the signal saw the immense wave and fled in panic.

"Not on my watch!" Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong simultaneously moved to save Su Yun and Qian Renxue. However, Bo Saixi suddenly appeared, summoning a torrent of river water from the sky, aiming to flood the entire venue.

"Bo Saixi, you're courting death!" Bibi Dong's voice was ice-cold. If Su Yun and Qian Renxue died, she would ensure the entire world paid for it.

Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu exchanged glances, about to use their divine power when they heard Su Yun's telepathic message, making them halt.

Boom!

When Bo Saixi and Tang Chen's terrifying attacks landed on the golden light surrounding Su Yun and Qian Renxue, black and blue soul power engulfed them.

Seeing this, Tang San's eyes lit up with joy.

If Su Yun died today, it would be a great victory for him.

Furthermore, according to Ning Fengzhi, his mother was likely in Dugu Bo's Sunset Forest.

Once his great-grandfather dealt with Spirit Hall, he would immediately head to Sunset Forest to rescue his mother.

Although the woman wasn't his true mother, having her would likely help his Blue Silver Grass martial soul truly evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor.

"My condolences." The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire saw the emotions of Emperor Xue Ye and offered his sympathies.

Though the 'Xue Qinghe' before him wasn't the true Xue Qinghe, he had fulfilled his duties as Crown Prince, governing the empire well. No one in the court had any objections.

But who would have thought that such a perfect Crown Prince was a spy for Spirit Hall, valued by both Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong?

"Humph, he was able to infiltrate my Heaven Dou Empire for years without being discovered. My son Qinghe likely met a terrible fate long ago."

"Tang Chen, by eliminating this threat to my Heaven Dou Empire, why should I be sad?" Emperor Xue Ye, a true emperor, quickly buried his emotions.

"After we return, arrest all those placed in positions by the false Crown Prince and interrogate them!" Emperor Xue Ye commanded his subordinates, still watching the explosive scene ahead.

On the other side, Ning Fengzhi and the others watched Su Yun and the false 'Xue Qinghe' engulfed in such a terrifying attack, narrowing their eyes.

"To think that the 'Xue Qinghe' I taught for years was a fake, likely holding a significant position within Spirit Hall," Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "If only I had discovered this sooner, we could have had an advantage against Spirit Hall."

Bone Douluo said, "Fengzhi, don't blame yourself. With so many of us, only Senior Tang noticed. It shows the skill of the fake 'Xue Qinghe'."

"Indeed," Sword Douluo nodded. "Fortunately, with Senior Tang Chen and this High Priest serving the Sea God, Su Yun and the fake 'Xue Qinghe' should be dead."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was about to nod.

However, before he could speak, a golden light suddenly broke through the layers of water and appeared before Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong.

It was... Su Yun!

And the fake 'Xue Qinghe'!

They were alive?!

Everyone noticed that the fake 'Xue Qinghe,' now in female attire, had transformed. Her golden hair flowed, her face was radiant, and she had several white, sacred wings, clearly indicating the six-winged Angel martial soul!

This signified that the fake 'Xue Qinghe' was of Spirit Hall's Qian family!

"Su Yun?! You're still alive?!" Tang San was the first to react, shouting in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that Su Yun and the fake 'Xue Qinghe' were unharmed!

How was it possible?!

His great-grandfather and High Priest Bo Saixi were both peak level 99 Titled Douluo, the strongest in the world!

Their combined attack should have killed Su Yun, a Soul Douluo, many times over!

But why…? Tang San was shocked. He noticed the golden light around Su Yun and Qian Renxue fading and guessed that it was this light that had protected them.

Tang San's guess was correct.

Su Yun had used his last Invincible Gold Body Experience Card.

Ten seconds of invincibility were enough to survive the combined attack of Tang Chen and Bo Saixi.

And emerge unscathed.

"It's a shame the system is gone. Getting such treasures again will be impossible," Su Yun shook his head slightly, expressing regret.

The other members of the Upper Three Sects, seeing Su Yun and Qian Renxue unharmed, felt their anxiety rise.

If these two were fine, the ones in trouble would be them next.

Tang Chen and Bo Saixi's eyes narrowed upon seeing Su Yun and Qian Renxue unharmed.

They noticed the oddity of the golden light around Su Yun.

Perfectly blocking their attacks, what kind of ability was this?

Tang Chen felt a sinking feeling: And what was that momentary pause earlier? How many secrets does this boy hold?

Before he could ponder further, a storm-like aura enveloped the arena.

Qian Daoliu!

"Tang Chen, I said, none of you will leave today!" Qian Daoliu's wings spread open, stepping into the air, with countless holy lights shining behind him. He looked like an angel from the heavens, delivering divine judgment on Tang Chen and his allies.

On the other side, Bibi Dong also entered her martial soul true form. Her terrifying presence made the entire arena feel oppressive!

Seeing Bibi Dong's form, Emperor Xue Ye and others felt a chill.

Bibi Dong in her Death Spider Emperor form was indeed powerful, but her appearance was unsettling.

"Chen, what do we do now?" Bo Saixi asked Tang Chen softly.

She could feel the fury of the two level 99 Titled Douluo opposing them.

With her strength, escaping wasn't difficult.

Moreover, as the High Priestess of Sea God Island, she would only protect Tang San.

The others were irrelevant to her.

If not for Tang Chen, she would not have stayed here.

Tang Chen took a deep breath, knowing he had miscalculated today. He sent a telepathic message to Bo Saixi, causing her face to change drastically, and she responded, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

"My life was already running out," Tang Chen replied with a bitter smile. "After leaving the City of Slaughter and losing the Asura Divine Power, my body can't hold out much longer."

"Promise me, Bo Saixi, take Tang San and the others away."

"They are our future hope to protect the entire continent."

"I will use my remaining life to hold off Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu."

After speaking, an overwhelming aura erupted from Tang Chen!

In the next second, he transformed into a black arrow, shooting towards Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu.

"Bo Saixi! Take care of Xiao San!" As Tang Chen's shout echoed through the arena, his soul power reached its peak!

"Not good!" Qian Daoliu was the first to realize something was wrong with Tang Chen. "Tang Chen is sacrificing himself!"

"Everyone, retreat immediately!"

As Tang Chen's old friend and rival, Qian Daoliu instantly understood his intentions.

Facing a fearless level ninety-eight peak Douluo, whose body had been transformed by the Asura Divine Power and the City of Slaughter, Tang Chen was now a human bomb.

He intended to compress his remaining few years of life into less than an hour, to buy time for his people.

"Crash—"

Bo Saixi acted decisively, summoning a torrent of river water to carry everyone away from the arena.

"Bibi Dong, take them away!" Qian Daoliu decided to stay and hold off Tang Chen. He knew that Tang Chen, now sacrificing everything, would stop at nothing to block them. So he too had to stay to counter him.

Their opponents were willing to die, but they were not.

Given time, with Su Yun and his granddaughter's talent, achieving godhood was inevitable.

Even with someone like Tang San, it wouldn't be a significant threat.

Bibi Dong's eyes flashed, then she grabbed Su Yun and Qian Renxue, leading the other members of the Spirit Hall away.

Within ten seconds, the two groups left in opposite directions, glancing back at their starting point.

A fierce battle had begun.

One figure, shrouded in black energy, wielded a giant hammer, emanating killing intent like a bat, with endless blood energy surging from him.

The other figure radiated holy light, with white wings symbolizing brightness, enveloped in endless sacred flames.

The two drastically different forces clashed in the air, each explosive collision shattering clouds and cracking the earth, causing rivers to cease flowing!

This battle instilled unease among the nobles and commoners of Heaven Dou City.

They had expected a joyous day for the wedding of the Haotian Sect's young master but instead witnessed a fierce battle between two terrifying figures in the sky.

The fight lasted from noon until nightfall.

With Tang Chen's life force exhausted and Qian Daoliu heavily depleted, the battle finally ended.

...

"Great-grandfather!" When Tang San and the others arrived at the battlefield, Tang Chen was already dead, his body charred by Qian Daoliu's holy flames, leaving no intact skin.

His corpse, partially fused with the Bat King, looked gruesome and bloody.

All members of the Haotian Sect knelt before Tang Chen's body, while others bowed in mourning.

"Xiao San, we need to leave quickly."

"Tang Chen held off Qian Daoliu for us. Although they are also in bad shape, if they recover and chase us, we won't escape." Tang Xiao reminded him.

"I want to avenge my great-grandfather!" Tang San's eyes were red with rage.

"If you want revenge, you must come with me to Sea God Island." Bo Saixi approached, her eyes slightly red but maintaining her composure as the High Priestess. "On Sea God Island, not even Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong together can defeat me. There, you will be safe."

"Until you become a god, you must not leave Sea God Island."

"She's right, Xiao San," Tang Xiao agreed.

"But what about you, Uncle?"

Tang San was worried. "Now that the fake Xue Qinghe is exposed, Spirit Hall will undoubtedly retaliate against you and other sects."

"No worries." Emperor Xue Ye had joined them, saying, "Tang San, I have formally allied with the Star Luo Empire. Our armies are already assembling."

"Even if Spirit Hall is strong, our alliance is no push-over."

"Your task now is to live up to your great-grandfather's expectations and become a god as soon as possible."

Emperor Xue Ye stared at Tang San, "Our future lies in your hands."

Feeling the hopeful gazes around him, Tang San finally nodded, "Alright! I'll leave with the High Priestess now."

After saying a few words to his elders, Tang San left with Bo Saixi.

On the way, Tang San wanted to go to Sunset Forest to find his mother, but Bo Saixi stopped him.

She explained that Su Yun must have sent heavy guards there, making escape difficult and risky.

"If Ning Fengzhi said your mother and Su Yun have a close relationship, it's likely Su Yun imprisoned her for his martial soul, and your mother had no choice but to comply," Bo Saixi speculated. "Tang San, you bear two divine inheritances. Once you fully inherit both, you won't fear Su Yun or the fake Xue Qinghe."

"Do you understand?"

Thinking of his deceased father and great-grandfather, and his resurrected mother, Tang San clenched his fists and nodded firmly, "I understand, High Priestess!"

In the air, Tang San looked back at Spirit Hall's direction, vowing: Su Yun, I will return!

When that day comes, I will cleanse Spirit Hall with blood and make you kneel before my father's and great-grandfather's graves to confess your sins!
