Chapter 87: From now on, Rongrong is yours!

At that moment, Tang San sprang up silently like a human-faced demon spider.

When he reached the back of a Wolf Bandit carrying a corpse, eight blood-red spears suddenly unfurled, and a thick strand of Blue Silver Grass whipped from his hand, wrapping tightly around the Wolf Bandit's mouth; with a soft "puff," the Eight Spider Lances pierced violently into the Wolf Bandit's body.

The Wolf Bandit's body stiffened, trying to scream, but the Blue Silver Grass around his mouth instantly thickened, sharp poison spines piercing straight through his lips—he could not scream, nor even open his mouth.

A flash of bloodlight surged along the Eight Spider Lances, and the Wolf Bandit's body instantly withered, slowly collapsing.

Tang San cradled the corpse slung behind the Wolf Bandit with his right hand, gently lowering both the villager's body and the withered corpse to the ground, then brushed his fingers over the villager's unclosed eyes, silently whispering to him: "Rest easy—I will avenge you all."

"… "

Zhou Yu, watching Tang San's performative act, was left speechless.

He and Oscar each unleashed their soul skills, effortlessly subduing several Wolf Bandits.

Dai Mubai's actions were even more direct—he dashed forward while already releasing his martial soul.

As his body, far stronger than any Wolf Bandit's, lunged behind his target, two massive tiger paws—one pressed against the back of the Wolf Bandit's skull, the other clamped over his mouth—twisted sharply, and the Wolf Bandit's thick neck snapped like dough.

The entire head rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, facing Dai Mubai directly.

The last thing the Wolf Bandit saw in his life was the chilling killing intent radiating from Dai Mubai's Evil Eye White Tiger pupils.

Just as they lunged for the eighth time toward the front Wolf Bandits, one suddenly stopped, pulled down his pants to urinate, and caught sight of Dai Mubai charging at him.

Dai Mubai reacted instantly, his tiger paw shooting forward to clamp the Wolf Bandit's throat and snap it.

But in the instant before he gripped his foe, the Wolf Bandit let out a muffled groan.

"… "

Instantly, a chorus of wolf howls erupted through the forest, and over a hundred Wolf Bandits turned as one.

"Fall back!"

Tang San coldly barked, and the Blue Silver Grass on the ground surged wildly, entangling the bodies of the ten-plus Wolf Bandits nearest to them.

His hands flickered like illusions—over a dozen streaks of light flashed—and the Wolf Bandits whose legs were bound screamed in agony.

They clutched their eyes, rolling on the ground, each right eye now pierced by a three-inch bone-piercing needle.

The bone-piercing needles drove straight into their brains; by the time they fell, they were already dead.

"This little bastard—so brutally ruthless!"

Tang San's killing methods sent a chill through Zhou Yu.

Seeing their comrades slaughtered, the remaining Wolf Bandits' eyes turned blood-red; they dropped to all fours and charged toward them in a frenzy.

Their speed was astonishing, fully unleashing their wolf traits.

Three-inch claws extended from their limbs, powerful muscles propelling them through the forest like flying shadows.

Zhou Yu quickly said: "They're too numerous—we should retreat!"

But Tang San completely ignored their numbers, coldly stating: "No! Tonight, I will kill every last one of them—to avenge those villagers!"

"Xiao San is right—if you're scared, you can leave!"

Dai Mubai roared, his killing intent fully ignited as he faced the flood of Wolf Bandits.

The mighty Evil Eye White Tiger being chased by wolves? If this got out, how could he ever show his face on the continent?

Standing beside Zhou Yu, Oscar scanned the surroundings, his heart heavy with worry, his concern for Ning Rongrong's safety deepening.

He sighed softly and looked at Zhou Yu: "Lin Yu, let's join the fight! Finish them quickly—we need to get back. I'm afraid Ning Rongrong and the others are in danger…"

Zhou Yu nodded and replied: "Mm! After all these years, your feelings for Rongrong have never changed!"

Saying this, he lightly patted Oscar's shoulder, his expression solemn: "Oscar, you're a real man. I'm stepping aside—Ning Rongrong is yours from now on!"

"You're giving up on Rongrong?" Hearing this, Oscar—the ultimate simp—beamed with joy.

Zhou Yu never imagined Oscar could sink this low.

Even something he'd already tasted, he still treated as a priceless treasure.

This level of devotion truly earned his respect.

"Of course! I believe no one in this world loves Rongrong more than you—I'm willing to make way for you two."

Zhou Yu paused, glancing back at Tang San, who was slaughtering mercilessly, and said with deep implication: "But whether your good brother will let you have her… that's another question."

"… "

Indeed, Tang San's actions had given Oscar a strong sense of threat.

"Enough thinking—focus on killing these Wolf Bandits. Let's get back quickly."

Zhou Yu, seeing his goal achieved, spoke to comfort Oscar.

In truth, when the four men arrived here, Zhou Yu had used a pre-released Clone to lure a portion of the Wolf Bandits toward Ning Rongrong's location.

Tang San's eyes remained calm as still water as he slipped into the Wolf Bandit crowd.

His bloodthirsty Eight Spider Lances grew even redder; each Wolf Bandit he killed had his life force sucked dry and channeled into Tang San, fueling his killing frenzy.

As Dai Mubai slaughtered the endless waves of Wolf Bandits around him, he occasionally glanced at Tang San—and drew a sharp breath.

The number of Wolf Bandits lying dead beside Tang San already exceeded the total killed by himself, Zhou Yu, and Oscar combined.

At this moment, not only were his Eight Spider Lances, but even his arms resembled phantom, gleaming hands of Death—his movements were too fast to follow.

Only flashes of terrifying light could be seen spraying from his hands, each strike targeting vital points: eyes, throats, temples, hearts, genitals.

"Is this… really Xiao San?"

Oscar, who disliked killing, was left utterly stunned.

Over two hundred Wolf Bandits remained, now completely surrounding the four of them.

At that moment, within Zhou Yu's released Perception Domain, he sensed several powerful auras approaching.

"Mubai, be careful."

At the same time, Tang San shouted out.

A massive Wolf Bandit, its fur a deep blue-green, silently lunged forward.

It made not a single sound, looking even more like a wolf.

Around its thick body, a faint cyan light pulsed; it was precisely this cyan light's control over the air and its own aura that kept both Dai Mubai and Oscar from noticing.

The instant the cyan wolf bandit appeared, the other three cyan wolf bandits likewise quietly pounced on their targets.

Zhou Yu had long been prepared; he activated his second soul skill, Butterfly Transformation, and flew up into the sky.

Dai Mubai, meanwhile, spun around sharply and blasted out a White Tiger Intense Light Wave, meeting head-on the ambush of that cyan wolf bandit.

Seeing this, Oscar, once he reacted, immediately ate the flying mushroom sausage he had prepared in advance, and like Zhou Yu flew into the air to dodge the cyan wolf bandits' attack.

The cyan wolf bandit attacking Tang San was the largest of them all, its body several sizes bigger than the other three cyan wolf bandits, and its pair of eyes were entirely cyan.

It was also the first among the four cyan wolf bandits to launch an attack; that was why Tang San only managed to warn Dai Mubai in time, but had no time to warn Oscar.

However, Oscar, suspended in midair, suddenly felt some kind of change welling up within his heart.
