Chapter 80: "Human, I have seen through your thoughts!"
"That's not right, apart from the soul ring, that human-faced demon spider doesn't have any other soul power fluctuations..."
Thinking of this, Tang San shook his head. He must be overthinking. Yu Xiaogang must have saved him out of goodwill, probably to make Tang Hao owe him a favor. There shouldn't be any other motives.
"Let's absorb the soul ring first. As for this soul bone, it's not the right time yet."
Tang San wasn't foolish enough to absorb the soul bone in front of everyone. He understood the principle that possessing treasures invites trouble.
"One doesn't fear a thief stealing, but fears a thief thinking about stealing."
"I have to admit, Tang San has some guts."
Kong murmured and withdrew his gaze.
A titled Douluo fighting against two hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and he can absorb the soul ring from a kilometer away? Even Kong had to admit that Tang San's mindset was admirable.
"A torso soul bone, huh?"
Kong's lips curled into a smile. Tang San's luck was too good!
"Will you absorb it?"
The torso soul bone is crucial; it's the medium that connects the other five soul bones.
Among the six regular soul bones, the torso soul bone is the most important. Its value surpasses that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul bone!
It's also one of the most difficult to obtain.
Even Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, didn't have a torso soul bone.
If Tang San couldn't resist the temptation and absorbed this torso soul bone, his talent and future achievements would significantly diminish!
The torso isn't like the limbs, which can be replaced if severed.
In the original story, Tang San was able to sever his arm and use the soul bone of the Titan Giant Ape to reattach it, which was a way to change soul bones.
But there's no such way to replace a torso soul bone!
Unless a deity intervenes.
While Tang San was absorbing the soul ring, Tang Hao was breaking out in a cold sweat.
He had severely underestimated the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python!
Even though his explosive rings and the Great Sumeru Hammer had suppressed the Titan Giant Ape, causing it some minor injuries, they couldn't heavily injure it. Unless he detonated all his soul rings at once...
But if he did that, he didn't know if the Titan Giant Ape would die, but he was sure he wouldn't survive!
"Poof..."
A mouthful of black blood spurted from Tang Hao's mouth, his old wounds had been triggered!
"What should I do? Am I going to fall here today?"
"No, I can't die yet."
Tang Hao gritted his teeth. His seventh and eighth soul rings exploded simultaneously, and the soul power from the two ten-thousand-year soul rings surged his momentum once again, but his injuries worsened!
Without time to think, Tang Hao swung his crimson-gold Haotian Hammer towards the Titan Giant Ape.
With this strike, he had no other thoughts but to create an opportunity to escape!
"Roar~"
The Titan Giant Ape roared defiantly, its earth-colored giant fist smashing towards the Haotian Hammer.
In their previous clashes, it had sustained some internal injuries, but it didn't matter. As long as it could kill this human who threatened Xiao Wu, it was willing to suffer severe injuries!
"Boom~"
The ground shook again, sinking about a foot within a kilometer radius.
"Not good! He's trying to escape!"
Seeing Tang Hao's figure flying backward a kilometer away after the clash, the Azure Bull Python's expression changed, shouting loudly.
This human, who just moments ago seemed determined to fight to the death, was now attempting to flee. How could this not surprise the Azure Bull Python?
The Titan Giant Ape, whose right arm was dislocated from the collision, didn't think twice before preparing to stop Tang Hao. Just then, the Azure Bull Python's voice rang out again: "Er Ming, don't chase him. This person's strength is not weak. If he is determined to escape, we have no way to stop him."
The Azure Bull Python was more intelligent than the Titan Giant Ape; otherwise, it wouldn't be the elder brother.
Upon hearing this, the Titan Giant Ape halted, letting out a roar of frustration.
This human was clearly severely injured. They were so close to killing him here!
"Young Master, I'll be back soon!"
Yu Longwu, with a look of determination, stepped forward, blocking Tang Hao.
"Elder Longwu, there's no need. Tang Hao still has a hundred-thousand-year soul ring he hasn't used. Going up against him would be certain death."
Kong shook his head, rejecting Yu Longwu's suggestion.
It wasn't that Kong looked down on Yu Longwu; it's just that he truly couldn't win.
"Sacrificing an elder for a few soul bones isn't worth it."
Upon hearing this, a gleam of relief flashed in the eyes of both Yu Longwu and Yu Yuanshen. No one wanted to die. They were willing to sacrifice themselves for the family's honor, but if they didn't have to die, that would be even better.
"Yes, Young Master!"
"Hmm, let's slowly plan against Tang Hao. There's no rush."
Just as Kong finished speaking, a voice rang out.
"Hmph, I thought you had already fled. It seems you are truly bold!"
A pair of large eyes stared at Kong and his group. The owner of the voice was the Azure Bull Python, who had been on guard against them.
When it first arrived, it sensed the presence of Yu Yuanshen and Yu Longwu. Although it didn't take two Soul Douluos seriously, if they were seriously injured, dealing with them would still be troublesome.
Their battle with the titled Douluo had ended, yet these people hadn't fled. Were they plotting against them or planning to take Xiao Wu?
Kong: "..."
How could he have forgotten about this?
Wait, Tang San, that spirited youngster, was still absorbing the soul ring not far away. Are you blind? He is your real enemy!
Why is the hostility directed at us?
Are you not even pretending anymore?
Good grief, Kong was already too tired to complain.
Yu Yuanshen, Yu Longwu, and Dugu Yan were trembling. These were two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts!
And they were being targeted!
"Azure Bull Python, are you blind? Look over there..."
Kong couldn't hold back and pointed at Tang San, who was absorbing the soul ring three hundred meters away.
The Azure Bull Python paused. Did this human just call it blind???
It looked in the direction Kong pointed and saw a human absorbing a soul ring. Recognizing the person, the Azure Bull Python was slightly taken aback.
Well, wasn't that the titled Douluo's son from earlier?
The Azure Bull Python glanced at Kong's group, then back at Tang San, and after a moment's thought, said, "Human, you have a good plan. You want me to kill the titled Douluo's child, so the titled Douluo will fight us to the death, leaving both sides gravely injured."
"Human, I have seen through your thoughts!"
The Azure Bull Python seemed proud. No one could deceive it!
Kong's mouth twitched, and his eyelid kept jumping.
If he weren't the person involved, he might have believed the Azure Bull Python's analysis!
"What, are you speechless now that I've revealed your true thoughts?"
