Chapter 359: Xiao Ling Er, Tang Divine King, and the Sea God's Trident (Part 1)
Chapter 359: Xiao Ling Er, Tang Divine King, and the Sea God's Trident (Part 1)
"Good, good, good! Indeed, it's... so wonderful!"
Seeing Xiao Ling Er's innocent expression, Tang Divine King felt even more humiliated.
Pretending!
You're just putting on an act!
Damn it!
Our deep grudge has long been irreconcilable, yet you dare to put on such a show before this Divine King, trying to maintain a good image in front of the heroes of the world?
Nonsense!
Today, this Divine King will use you as a sacrifice. You have no future, so what's the use of maintaining an image?!
"Hmph!"
"If we're not on the same page, then let's fight it out. Die in battle!"
"Wait a moment."
Xiao Ling Er raised her hand to stop Tang Wu, who was about to make a move: "If you don't clearly tell me who you are and why you hold such great enmity towards me, I won't fight to the death with you."
"Huh?"
"Damn it!!!"
"Xiao Ling Er, how long do you plan to keep up this act?!"
Tang Divine King was almost infuriated.
You're acting so convincingly, aren't you?
It's like you're really her, damn it!!!
He angrily said, "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin? You're putting on an act? I was going to give you some face and let you take it to the grave, but since you don't want it, why should this Divine King give it to you?"
"Xiao Ling Er!"
"Do you remember? Outside the Imperial Capital of the Southwest Domain, you took my unusual flame, killed my soul mate... and repeatedly humiliated this Divine King. Do you want to tell me you've forgotten all that?!"
"The grudge between soul mates is unforgivable. Do you have anything else to say?!"
"..."
Xiao Ling Er was stunned.
"Outside the Imperial Capital of the Southwest Domain?"
"Unusual flame?"
She remembered.
"Oh~~~!"
"Ice Spirit Cold Flame?"
"I remember, you're that guy with the remnant soul, what... what... what was your name again?"
Tang Divine King's face twitched, his eyelids and mouth corners spasmed uncontrollably.
What the hell was his name?!
He was certain that Xiao Ling Er recognized him and remembered him very clearly, and perhaps he was the one who haunted her nightmares over the years.
How many times did she wake up from nightmares about him?
And yet, she's still pretending not to know him?
This is...
Too much! You've gone too far, you infuriate me!!!
"That's right!"
At this moment, Xiao Ling Er clapped her hands: "Tang Wu, right?"
"If I remember correctly, your soul mate was a rabbit, wasn't it?"
"No, it should be a rabbit spirit."
Xiao Ling Er's memory gradually 'revived'.
She truly remembered.
It wasn't that she intentionally forgot about Tang Wu, but... he was too weak before, and she had met so many people and fought with so many strong opponents over the years. Who would bother to remember a weak opponent?
Moreover, so many years have passed, how could Tang Wu remain unchanged?
Not only has his appearance matured, but his clothing has also completely changed.
It's natural that they couldn't recognize or recall him at first.
Long Ao Jiao, Wang Teng, and the others were in the same situation.
It wasn't until Xiao Ling Er called out his name that they realized it.
"Oh~~!" Jian Zi slapped his forehead: "So it's Tang Wu."
"Is it him?" Wang Teng muttered: "I don't have a good impression of anyone with the surname Tang."
At the same time, all the direct disciples of Lan Yue Sect nodded in agreement.
This left Long Ao Jiao confused: "Why?"
"You all dislike the surname Tang?"
"Did someone with the surname Tang dig up your ancestors' graves?"
"I don't know." Wang Teng shrugged: "But we all dislike people with the surname Tang."
"Oh, if I remember correctly, there's no one in our Lan Yue Sect's main lineage with the surname Tang."
"I'm not sure about the Bright Moon lineage."
Long Ao Jiao became even more curious: "You guys from Lan Yue Sect... are you all crazy?"
"What did someone with the surname Tang do to you?"
"I don't know." Su Yan scratched his head: "But since we all dislike the surname Tang, there must be a reason."
"Perhaps, we'll find out by watching."
In fact, except for Gou Sheng, the other disciples of Lan Yue Sect didn't know why Lin Fan had set the rule 'Except for the surname Tang'.
But...
From their perspective, Lin Fan's rule had never been wrong.
If Lin Fan hasn't made a mistake, then it's obvious that the surname Tang is at fault.
And now, there's someone with the surname Tang acting strangely on the arena.
Perhaps, they could find the reason from him.
He Qiang seemed to have a special intuition: "I have a very special intuition."
"I can't explain why I have this intuition, but I feel that this Tang Wu can give us the answer."
"..."
......
"Who is this Tang Wu?"
"He actually... doesn't put Xiao Ling Er in his eyes, speaking with such certainty, as if Xiao Ling Er is already doomed?"
"I find it strange too. Although Xiao Ling Er was strong before, few people would compare her to the Holy Land's Young Heroes, let alone the Holy Sons and Daughters. But not long ago, the Fierce Man fought and defeated Jiang Liu Er. From then on, among all the heroes, who would dare to underestimate the Young Hero of Lan Yue Sect?"
"Xiao Ling Er is the direct disciple of Lan Yue Sect, and her true strength is probably even above the Fierce Man. This Tang Wu is still so confident, could he also be an extraordinary genius?"
"This... I don't know."
"Whose general is this? He's so brave!"
"..."
Below the stage, the audience was shocked.
"I can't even imagine how extraordinary this person is!"
"He doesn't even put a Holy Son-level figure in his eyes!"
"Terrifying!"
At this moment, the audience had already regarded Xiao Ling Er as a Holy Son-level figure, not because of her displayed strength, but because of Ya Ya's astonishing performance.
She directly set a record that no one in history had ever achieved.
As the eldest senior sister, Xiao Ling Er, in their eyes, could at least be on par with Ya Ya, making her a Holy Son-level figure.
Suddenly, Tang Wu appeared, repeatedly claiming he would slay Xiao Ling Er. The onlookers, still reeling from the previous battle between Ya Ya and Jiang Liu Er, were shocked and felt their scalps tingle.
"How incredibly powerful must Tang Wu be!"
...
On Stage
Tang Wu sneered, "Still claiming you don't remember?"
"Finally admitting you were pretending, intentionally making it difficult for me, the Divine King?"
"I genuinely don't recall," Xiao Ling Er replied calmly, shaking her head. "After all, who would bother? If I still couldn't remember after your repeated reminders, wouldn't that imply a problem with my mind?"
She lightly tapped her temple: "But I'm confident my mind is fine. As an alchemist, I have that much self-assurance."
"Moreover, what's crucial is that I never intended to harm your Dao partner. I didn't even bother to glance at her twice."
"If I'm not mistaken..."
Xiao Ling Er's gaze turned distant, recalling that past battle.
"I've been through many wars and slain numerous Heaven's Pride. I should remember correctly."
"Back then, my target was you."
"Your Dao partner, that rabbit spirit, loved you deeply, fearing death for your sake. Just as I was about to deliver the fatal blow, she emerged from the shadows, using her racial divine ability to block the attack with her body, saving you from certain death."
"I had planned to pursue and slay you, but those Seventh Realm experts surrounded me, leaving no opportunity. I merely kicked you, leaving you severely injured, and you managed to escape with your life."
"However..."
"Although she used her body to block my palm, she wasn't foolish enough to use a vital spot. Unless unexpected, she shouldn't have died."
"With even minimal assistance from you, she wouldn't have met such a tragic end, would she?"
Xiao Ling Er stroked her chin: "I'm certain I wouldn't misremember this."
"After all, her sacrifice for love left a significant impression on me, more so than you, Tang Wu."
Tang Wu's Reaction
"????"
"What... what are you saying?!"
His anger surged, nearly reaching its peak.
How infuriating!
For someone who considered themselves unparalleled, an absolute Heaven's Pride, and a Divine King, what could be a more powerful insult?
— Ignorance!
Repeated, blatant disregard.
In this moment, Tang Wu was on the verge of exploding.
"I've clashed with you multiple times, fighting for my life, coming close to defeating you, yet you don't even recognize me? Your impression of me is weaker than that of a mere rabbit... or rather, my Xiao Shan?"
Preposterous!
"Presumptuous Xiao Ling Er!"
"You clearly don't take the Divine King seriously. The Divine King..."
Tang Wu's indignation was palpable, but he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Wait...
Xiao Shan's death, although sparked by Xiao Ling Er, would, upon closer inspection, tarnish his own reputation. Perhaps it was best to let it slide.
"Very well, the Divine King will slay you, avenging Xiao Shan and my master!"
Clash
With a swift motion, Tang Wu summoned his Mo Yun Binding SAGE (Soul, Astral, Ghost, Ethereal) Feng (Wu's Second Martial Soul), unleashing a flurry of entwining, ethereal vines.
"Mom... no, wait, Mo Yun Entanglement!"
Onlookers' Reactions
Wang Teng blinked: "Did he just shout 'Mom'?"
The crowd nodded in unison: "Seemed like it."
Song Yun Xiao raised an eyebrow: "What's with the 'Mom'?"
"Could his mother possibly defy the rules to assist him?"
"Who knows?" Long Ao Jiao snickered. "This enigmatic individual seems to hold himself in high regard."
Long Ao Jiao recalled her past encounter with Tang Wu.
This nuisance...
She had clashed with him before, dominating the entire fight, but Tang Wu had been aided by an 'old ghost' who protected him at the cost of severe injury. Unexpectedly, he not only survived but continued to boast until now.
"This wretched creature."
She scoffed, doubting Tang Wu's ability to threaten Xiao Ling Er.
Battle Intensifies
A blast of anomalous flames engulfed Xiao Ling Er, repelling the oncoming vines.
" Our conversation wasn't over. Why the haste?"
"How did your Dao partner, that rabbit spirit, truly die?"
"You're so eager to act... " Xiao Ling Er's tone was measured, her thoughts intricate: "Perhaps there's more to her death than meets the eye?"
Tang Wu bellowed, "Nonsense! You don't know what you're talking about! Die!"
With a swift thought, his second martial soul, Tai Yin Yu Tu (Supreme Yin Jade Rabbit), materialized. A radiant, jade-like rabbit illusion appeared behind him, imbuing his body.
"Rabbit Kick!"
Tang Wu's deafening roar accompanied a spatial shockwave, as if the very fabric of space had transformed into a 'uperconductor,' transmitting the force of his kick to shatter Xiao Ling Er's skull.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Ling Er's keen eyes detected the attack. With her Qian Yan Po Xu (Thousand Flames Shattering Void) Sword, she deflected the blow while inquiring:
"Isn't that the rabbit spirit? How did her residual soul transform into this?"
"You... "
"Beast! If I'm not mistaken, you've used a secret technique to refine her soul, integrating it into yourself for manipulation?"
"???"
"Stop your nonsense!"
Exposed, Tang Shenwang's heart raced.
But who was Tang Shenwang?
His thick skin was unparalleled in the world. Even though he was exposed, his expression remained unchanged, and he coldly shouted, "Back then, she was slain by you!"
"This Shenwang couldn't bear the eternal separation, and Xiao Shan was also unwilling to leave me. So, she begged me to keep her."
"This Shenwang, in great sorrow, shed tears and sealed her..."
"Hmph!"
"Xiao Ling Er, you dare to bring this up? Die!"
"Godfather, help me!"
Tang Shenwang roared, and his Ice Emperor martial soul appeared. With a wave of his hand, the ice spread for miles, attempting to seal and freeze Xiao Ling Er along with the space around her.
"???"
"Human form?"
"You... are indeed a beast."
Xiao Ling Er glared furiously.
Initially, it was just a plant 'Divine Soul,' which was acceptable.
Even an animal 'Divine Soul' could be tolerated, but the issue was that it was her dao companion's soul, which was problematic.
Now, it was even more exaggerated, directly a human form 'Divine Soul'?
Moreover, Xiao Ling Er could sense a very familiar aura from this soul: "If my senses are correct, this is the remnant soul that has been helping you all along, isn't it?"
"I never thought you would be so ungrateful, even to a remnant soul that risked its life to help you..."
Xiao Ling Er couldn't help but think of Grandmaster Medicine.
What was the difference between the remnant soul and Tang Wu, and Grandmaster Medicine and herself?
Surely, they must have poured everything they had into teaching, giving whatever good things they had to her and Tang Wu, and more than once, risked their lives to protect them.
Yet, in such circumstances, he, Tang Wu, could still bear to refine them into mere 'tools'?
Even this matter couldn't be thought about too deeply.
If you think about it, what was the Cloud Suppressing Vine? It was the Cloud Peak Valley's sect-defining spirit plant!
During the battle in Cloud Peak Valley, the Cloud Suppressing Vine never exerted its power, which Xiao Ling Er found strange at the time. It turns out that this traitor, Tang Wu, had 'stolen' it?
The rabbit? It was his dao companion!
The remnant soul? It was his master, his godfather, his angel investor.
But in the end, all of them became Tang Wu's 'tools,' devoid of autonomy, without any privacy, like puppets, for him to command. Even if he made them eat filth, they couldn't resist...
This was simply unbearable.
Beastly behavior!
"Beast, what a beast!"
Xiao Ling Er's expression turned cold: "I was still trying to understand why you would do such things, but now, it seems there's no need."
"For a beast like you, your actions are even worse than a beast!"
"You keep talking about fighting to the death, so... I'll grant you that."
"Even though killing a beast like you will dirty my hands, if I don't kill you, you will be a menace for millennia."
"Everyone has the right to kill you!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Tang Shenwang laughed wildly: "Nonsense, this Shenwang doesn't know what you're talking about!"
"Are you confused and talking nonsense because of the shock of my attack?"
Xiao Ling Er: "..."
"Confused and talking nonsense because of my attack?"
These words almost made Xiao Ling Er's CPU smoke.
What?!
Your attack can confuse people?
That's not scary at all.
Could it be... there's some hidden trick I haven't discovered?
Xiao Ling Er's heart tightened, and she carefully sensed, even using some obscure secret techniques. But the result was the same as her initial perception.
Tang Wu's series of attacks was just that—nothing more.
"..."
Is this supposed to scare people?
Scare them confused?
Joking, right?
Her lips twitched silently: "Are you... brain-dead or blind?"
"What did you say?!" Tang Wu was enraged.
"You're asking for death!"
"Watch as this Shenwang turns you into an ice sculpture!"
"Is that so?"
Xiao Ling Er countered.
At the same time, the Ice Spirit Cold Fire erupted!
The freezing cold that seemed to freeze everything in its path began to crack and freeze crazily upon contact with the Ice Spirit Cold Fire.
The cold that should have frozen everything...
was frozen instead!
At a glance, it looked like a winter plain, covered in silver and white.
"This?"
"You..."
"I?!"
Tang Shenwang's scalp tingled.
How could this be?
This wench actually has such power?
My three most powerful martial souls couldn't even scratch her, and she can easily destroy my attacks with a wave of her hand? This... this...
How could this be?!
How unreasonable!
This Shenwang doesn't believe it!
He grew fierce, his eyes turning red: "Fine, fine, wench, you've improved over the years, but that's all!"
"Watch as this Shenwang slays you!"
Boom!
His body trembled.
A golden armor appeared, covering his entire body.
His aura surged instantly, crossing the 'limit' to reach the power of the late Eighth Stage.
"Hmm? What secret technique is this? A set of 'armor' can boost power so much?"
Xiao Ling Er was curious.
All the spectators were curious.
They could tell this wasn't an Imperial Armament or a traditional magical treasure.
But...
the effect was real.
"Afraid, aren't you?!"
Tang Shenwang laughed three times: "This is one of the secret techniques I cultivate, External Attached Soul Bone!
