Chapter 70: Sacrifice, My Love!

"Xiao Wu! —No!"

Seeing his beloved sister severely injured, Tang San let out a wail of grief.

Suddenly, a greenish-black net spread open ahead.

Mucus dripped continuously from the net as a massive figure, over three meters in diameter and colored black and white all over, appeared in Tang San's line of sight.

The one spitting out the great net was a Spirit Beast, and one Tang San knew extremely well: the Man-Faced Demon Spider, known as the Evil Slayer.

When Tang San saw that massive figure and the mucus-dripping spider web, his entire heart sank.

Could this be what they call: one must always pay back what one has taken? He had once hunted two Man-Faced Demon Spiders, acquiring the Spirit Rings and the External Spirit Bone Eight Spider Lances they bestowed, which had brought him immense benefits. Yet this Man-Faced Demon Spider before him seemed poised to become his end.

Ambush ahead, pursuers behind.

Tang San tightly embraced the dying Xiao Wu and decisively chose to continue charging forward.

He suddenly swung the two sharp lances at the front of his left side, slashing down at the ground with all his might. Accompanied by a sharp, grating screech, this force cleverly shifted Tang San and Xiao Wu's bodies instantly off their original trajectory. Their bodies lightly traced a wide arc, narrowly avoiding the massive spider web about to reach them.

Seeing this, the Man-Faced Demon Spider immediately shifted sideways, already waiting at their new position, four extremely thick spider legs thrusting straight toward the pair.

The blood-sucking effect of Tang San's Eight Spider Lances originated from the Man-Faced Demon Spider; of course, he knew what consequences would result from being pierced by these spider lances.

Even with a body as tough as his, he dared absolutely not come into contact with those terrifying blood-sucking spears.

Relying on rich combat experience, he slid his body, using the four lower Eight Spider Lances to pierce the ground and pause briefly, while the four upper Eight Spider Lances rose simultaneously.

Spear against spider lance, he met the Man-Faced Demon Spider's attack.

Amidst a loud, clanging roar, Tang San and Xiao Wu's bodies were suddenly flung upward by a massive impact force.

Unable to control himself amidst the violent shaking, Tang San once again spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with a "Wah!"

Even if he were at his peak, facing such a formidable Spirit Beast would require him to exert his full strength; let alone now, when only forty percent of his power remained, making his situation even more desperate.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were knocked flying, yet this Man-Faced Demon Spider did not pursue.

On the ground, the Blue Silver Grass that had surged up had already tightly coiled around its body.

Moreover, the four spider legs that had previously collided with Tang San were now glowing with red and blue light, rapidly spreading along the legs toward its body.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider emitted an extremely sharp shriek from its mouth. Its massive body struggled violently, and relying on its overwhelming strength, it finally tore apart the Blue Silver Grass surrounding it.

Then it sprang up quickly, vanishing into the forest.

However, Tang San and Xiao Wu had already delayed matters significantly by jointly killing four Sensory-type Soul Saints earlier, and now, blocked by this Man-Faced Demon Spider, the enemies behind had caught up.

"Run! Why aren't you running anymore?"

Yan glared fiercely at Tang San, secretly vowing in his heart that today, no matter what, he would eliminate Tang San.

"Since you are so eager to add a few more to your funeral pyre, why should I rush to escape?"

Tang San feigned calmness, speaking to Yan while desperately urging the Mysterious Heaven Skill within his body to rapidly Restore Soul Power.

He extended his left hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer instantly appeared in his palm.

The four lower Eight Spider Lances pierced the ground, while the Blue Silver Grass surrounding his body grew wildly at an astonishing speed under the effect of the Blue Silver Domain.

"Act."

Yan suddenly roared loudly.

Tang San suddenly swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand toward the sky. A dense white light shot upward like a sharp cone—cold, cruel, grim, and bloody. The massive killing intent was so thick it seemed almost tangible, forcibly breaking through the combined lock of nine Spirit Hall experts and pushing the two bodies straight up into the air.

Every direction was sealed off; only the sky remained the sole escape route. In the instant of leaping, Tang San supported Xiao Wu under her armpits with both hands and suddenly flung her upward.

At the same time, eight Soul Saints plus Yan, already surrounding them, would not let Tang San escape so easily.

The sudden breaking of the aura lock naturally triggered their frenzied assault.

These remaining seven Soul Saints were all Power-type; their strongest trait was attack. Concentrating the Spirit Avatar power of seven people to launch an attack on a single opponent would not be easy even if a Title Douluo were to block it.

Let alone Tang San, who had already consumed a vast amount of Soul Power.

"Brother..."

In the instant Tang San threw Xiao Wu into the air, she unexpectedly woke from her coma.

But she could do nothing, only watching as countless gorgeous halos swallowed Tang San.

—Boom! With just the first Spirit Avatar Soul Power strike, the Blue Silver Emperor surrounding Tang San's body was completely shattered.

The attack power unleashed by the Spirit Avatar was, no matter what, beyond what his current level could withstand.

"No... stop..."

In the air, Xiao Wu, witnessing Tang San swaying like a small boat amidst a violent storm, could not help but burst into tears.

—Boom! The second strike landed on the Eight Spider Lances on Tang San's back.

Amidst a grating cracking sound, all Eight Spider Lances cracked, and Tang San could no longer maintain his crouched posture; a thick mist of blood sprayed from his mouth.

—Boom! The third strike fell on Tang San's back almost immediately after the second.

This time, even the Eight Spider Lances, refined through countless trials and enhancements, finally could not hold out, shattering into countless blue-gold fragments that scattered in all directions.

Another mouthful of blood mist sprayed from Tang San's mouth, and his face had turned as white as paper.

The dying Xiao Wu's eyes had already turned blood-red.

Finally, she made her decision.

"Ahhh————"

Xiao Wu emitted a piercingly sharp wail of grief, a sound that seemed to make the entire Star Dou Great Forest tremble.

Blinding red light suddenly spread from his forehead, transforming into a ring of red halo that instantly expanded.

Wherever the red light passed, everything was dyed blood-red, and everything came to a standstill at this very moment.

The Tai Tan Ape and the Azure Dragon simultaneously erupted with light, and two thick clouds of blood mist sprayed from their throats at the same time.

In that instant, the Martial Soul Fusion Technique jointly formed by Ghost and Ju Douluo could no longer seal their bodies.

The gold and silver lights shattered like glass.

Amidst a stifled groan, Yue Guan and Gui Mei spat blood simultaneously, separating and crashing heavily toward the shore. At this moment, if the Tai Tan Tai Tan Ape and the Azure Sky Bull Python wished to kill them, it would be nothing more than a mere flick of the hand.

However, the two kings of the forest did not do so; a mournful howl like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami roaring erupted from their mouths, and they sprinted wildly in the same direction.

Wherever they passed, all vegetation was turned to dust.

"Sister Xiao Wu! No!"

The Azure Sky Bull Python could not help but let out a roar.
