The corners of Lin Yang's mouth curved slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Interesting."
He had never dreamed that Spirit Hall would specifically send a Titled Douluo to deal with him.
Was it because of Dugu Bo and Ye Xuanyin?
The alliance between the two Titled Douluo had clearly made Bibi Dong uneasy.
What was obvious to everyone was that Dugu Bo and Ye Xuanyin were able to stand together thanks to Lin Yang acting as their bridge.
With Lin Yang's death, the so-called alliance would naturally collapse.
As for the Butterfly House — without Lin Yang as its core, in the eyes of other factions, it would be nothing more than a delicious piece of meat.
The Titled Douluo was incredibly fast. In just a few leaps, he closed in on Lin Yang.
He was surrounded by eight spirit rings — two yellow, two purple, and four black — radiating a terrifyingly oppressive aura.
Everyone who witnessed this scene instinctively stepped back.
Even though the enemy was about to attack, Lin Yang showed no signs of panic.
The small figure crouched at his feet suddenly swelled into a massive creature.
Huge fangs over a meter long gleamed with a sharp, cold light as they lunged toward the Titled Douluo.
"ROAR—!"
The Titled Douluo was shocked. "What?!"
In that split second of distraction, he was tackled to the ground by Aura.
Sharp fangs sank into the Titled Douluo's shoulder. Blood sprayed everywhere.
"Get off!"
The Titled Douluo roared in fury. His sixth spirit ring suddenly lit up.
A thick cyan wind beam was released and struck Aura directly in the head.
The wind pillar exploded with a deafening roar. Amidst the raging air, countless sharp wind blades wrapped around Aura, kicking up dust in all directions.
Everyone thought that even if this massive soul beast didn't die, it would at least be severely injured and fall.
However, when the commotion settled, Aura simply shook her head and let out a dissatisfied low growl.
There wasn't a single burn mark on her dark golden fur.
"How is this possible?"
The Titled Douluo couldn't help but blurt out.
However, Aura didn't care at all. She coldly stared at the Titled Douluo with her vertical pupils.
Her wide-open mouth opened again. Terrifying soul power condensed within it.
The Titled Douluo's expression changed. Ignoring the bloody wound on his shoulder, he suddenly retreated.
Seventh Spirit Skill: Martial Soul True Body!
With a flash of light, a massive wind baboon suddenly appeared and collided head-on with Aura.
Lin Yang glanced at it twice, then looked away.
Don't be fooled by Aura's lazy cat lifestyle. She spent all day eating and sleeping.
However, not only had her cultivation level recovered beautifully over the past few years, but with the help of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's energy, she had also successfully reached the 70,000-year milestone.
A 70,000-year soul beast was comparable to a high-level Titled Douluo.
Considering that she was a ghost — immortal and indestructible — how could a Titled Douluo possibly defeat Aura?
That was pure fantasy.
Meanwhile, the Golden Iron Triangle had also unleashed their signature martial soul fusion skill.
Although the massive golden sacred dragon possessed tremendous power, it not only had to face the combined attacks of the Titled Douluo and two Soul Sages but also had to protect the students behind it.
For a while, they were held back, and the battle fell into a stalemate.
At that moment, the Titled Douluo directly released his Martial Soul True Body and transformed into a golden eagle.
"I'll hold them off. You two, deal with the target!"
Even at full power, the Titled Douluo couldn't defeat the Golden Iron Triangle, but he could still buy time.
Meanwhile, the remaining two Soul Sages had already seized the opportunity and attacked Tang San and the others.
The expressions of the Shrek Seven Devils changed.
Even if they combined all their strength, they couldn't match a Soul Sage.
At that very moment, a burly figure descended from the sky like a cannonball and landed heavily in front of Tang San.
"Senior, Titan!" Tang San's eyes lit up.
"Young Master, please don't be afraid." Titan glanced sideways with a serious expression.
"Leave the rest to this old servant."
Immediately, eight spirit rings appeared beneath Titan's feet. A powerful aura suddenly spread out.
He shouted at the two Soul Sages in a forceful voice,
"What kind of skill is it to bully children? Come on, let's fight!"
"Titan!"
One of the Soul Sages sneered mockingly,
"Your Power Clan is truly loyal. Back then, the Clear Sky Sect discarded you like trash."
"And now you're desperately trying to curry favor with Tang San, thinking that way you can return to the Clear Sky Sect?"
Titan's face darkened.
"The Clear Sky Sect is the Clear Sky Sect. My master showed me kindness, so of course I will protect the Young Master."
"What a loyal dog! Now die."
Before he finished speaking, the two Soul Sages had already flanked him from both sides.
The Soul Sage on the left was enveloped in deep crimson flames. His body was like a serpent.
The Soul Sage on the right flickered like a ghost. He silently thrust the pitch-black dagger in his hand toward Tang San.
Titan's pupils contracted slightly. He exerted force with his feet, and the ground began to crack.
A terrifying wall of soul power suddenly blocked the path of the two Soul Sages.
"Great Ape, possess me!"
Titan's body suddenly grew several feet taller. His muscles bulged, and his veins writhed like dragons.
When he swung his arm down, an extremely violent force erupted.
The battlefield grew increasingly chaotic.
The Golden Iron Triangle and Titan held back the three strongest opponents, but the remaining soul masters and death warriors could only be dealt with by the Shrek Seven Devils.
Fortunately, with their strength, they were able to hold off the two Soul Kings despite some difficulty.
Blue Silver Grass silently spread out beneath Tang San's feet. The approaching enemies were instantly entangled by the flexible Blue Silver Grass.
At this moment, Tang San did not use the Clear Sky Hammer.
Although the power of Blue Silver Grass was weaker, it consumed less soul power than the Clear Sky Hammer. In this kind of prolonged battle, conserving soul power was most important.
"Up!"
Tang San shouted in a low voice.
Each of the Shrek Seven Devils suddenly held a mechanical weapon resembling a black crossbow.
Once the mechanisms were loaded, Tang San gave the command.
Amidst the sound of metal clashing, the seven Zhuge Divine Crossbows instantly fired hundreds of finely crafted steel arrows.
In an instant, many ordinary assassins were killed or injured.
"Damn it!"
The two Soul Kings were naturally the main targets. Although they were injured by the Zhuge Crossbows, their lives weren't in danger.
However, in an instant, most of their subordinates had been killed.
At this moment, Tang San secretly let out a sigh of relief.
As expected, Lin Yang was ultimately an exception. The Tang Clan's hidden weapons were still extremely effective.
Gaining confidence from this success, Tang San instructed the others to defend from the rear while he charged forward alone.
He unleashed his full strength with various techniques such as Purple Demon Eye, Jade Hand, Ghost Shadow, and hidden weapons from the Hundred Hidden Weapons.
His fingers moved rhythmically around his waist.
With a faint buzzing sound, countless specially made hidden weapons shot out from his fingertips with cold light, instantly covering a wide area.
However, although Tang San was mercilessly taking lives, those struck by hidden weapons or poison not only didn't die —
Instead, their eyes gradually became bloodshot, revealing an indescribable cruelty and madness.
ROARRRR—!
A soldier pierced in the chest by the Zhuge Crossbow had wounds that were visibly healing at an astonishing speed.
Then he stood up from the ground with strange movements and let out a low growl that was neither human nor beast before recklessly lunging at Tang San.
