After leaving the blacksmith shop, Yang Long walked to the vicinity of Nuoding City, cursing Tang San and the people of the Spirit Hall for colluding with each other.
"Those Spirit Hall guys are really stupid. How dare they believe Tang San? In the future, the Spirit Hall will be overthrown by him, and you civilians will never have a chance to rise again!"
While cursing, Yang Long arrived at Nuoding Academy. He saw Xiao Wu coming out with a little girl, and he didn't think much of it. He just followed them quietly.
After staying in Nuoding City for a few days, Yan Long had already figured out the situation here. He felt that he could take action, capture Xiao Wu, and use her to threaten Tang San to hand over the Xuantian Gong.
Even if Tang Hao found out in the end, Yang Long didn't care. After all, he was born into the Breaking Clan, so he would most likely be able to talk his way out of it.
Xiao Wu was about to take Guang Ling to go shopping. She didn't go far before she noticed someone following her, so she let Guang Ling go to the Spirit Hall first, while she went to the outskirts of Nuoding City alone.
Yang Long followed Xiao Wu and circled around the streets and alleys of Nuoding City for several times. Finally, he realized that Xiao Wu was going to the outskirts of Nuoding City. He immediately realized that he had been discovered, so he revealed his figure after Xiao Wu walked into a small forest.
"Little girl, do you remember my mother?"
Yang Long jumped in front of Xiao Wu, revealing a wretched smile like a pervert who was trying to trick a child. He put his hands on his hips and asked with a smile.
"I don't remember. Who are you?" Xiao Wu took a step back and sized up Yang Long. Naturally, she hadn't forgotten this guy that Tang San had specially mentioned to her.
He was definitely not a good person!
"My name is Yang Long." Yang Long introduced himself, "You'd better listen to me. You can suffer less. If we really fight, you're no match for me."
"How do you know who will win if we haven't fought yet?" Xiao Wu put on a vigilant expression, but in reality, she was already prepared to release her Martial Soul at any time.
"Your Martial Soul is the Soft Boned Rabbit. Your first Spirit Ability is the Waist Bow, and your second Spirit Ability is Teleportation, right?" Yang Long smiled confidently, "Of course, this is just your superficial information. In fact, I know your deeper secret. You're a transformed 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast, right?"
Xiao Wu's eyes narrowed, and she asked tentatively, "Are you a Titled Douluo?"
"Of course not, but I have my own way to see through your identity." Yang Long was extremely proud of his "information advantage", "Let me tell you, Tang San is not a good thing. He looks gentle and elegant, but in fact, he's very hypocritical. Do you want to follow me?"
"Really? How come I don't know that Tang San is gentle and elegant?"
Xiao Wu had spent a long time with Tang San, so she knew him very well. He liked to study Martial Soul theory knowledge. He could come up with all sorts of reasons for even an ordinary thing. Then, he would often make fun of her, so he couldn't be considered gentle at all. However, she knew that this was Tang San's way of caring for her.
After calming down and thinking it over, Xiao Wu came to a conclusion: the person in front of her didn't understand Tang San or herself at all. Her second Spirit Ability wasn't Teleportation at all.
"Also, you're the second person to say that San Ge is hypocritical."
Second?
Before Yang Long could react, Xiao Wu possessed her Martial Soul. Two Spirit Rings, one yellow and one purple, emerged, and she instantly dashed out, kicking Yang Long.
"So fast!"
Yang Long saw the other party's Spirit Rings, and his pupils constricted. He hurriedly released the Dragon Pattern Spear and held it in front of his chest to block.
After Xiao Wu's kick hit the spear shaft of the Dragon Pattern Spear, her head shook, and the scorpion tail braid behind her attacked Yang Long's eyes. Unexpectedly, the wooden short knife pierced Yang Long's right eye.
"Ah!"
In pain, Yang Long suddenly exerted force and swung the Dragon Pattern Spear. Xiao Wu used the force of the Dragon Pattern Spear's swing to jump a distance away from Yang Long, leaning against a tree that was as thick as a person's body and staring at Yang Long.
Yang Long's right eye was not blinded by the wooden knife at the end of Xiao Wu's scorpion tail braid—Xiao Wu had not yet practiced throwing her hair to perfection, so her aim was not that accurate. Secondly, the end of her hair was tied with a wooden short knife that had not been opened yet, so it was relatively blunt.
Even so, that blow had still hit Yang Long's right eye, causing it to swell up. A trace of blood even flowed out from the corner of his eye.
If he didn't receive treatment in a short period of time, he might really go blind.
"Fucking bitch, you dare to blind my eye." Yang Long held the Dragon Pattern Spear in one hand and covered his right eye with the other. He glared at Xiao Wu with his remaining left eye, gritting his teeth.
"Hehe." Xiao Wu sneered, "I don't know how you found out my identity, but you dared to come to me without investigating everything about me. You wanted to control me and even use me to threaten San Ge."
"How did you become so smart?" Yang Long held the Dragon Pattern Spear and thrust it directly at Xiao Wu's head.
Xiao Wu seemed to have sensed it in advance and dodged it. Her figure shuttled through the bushes, making it difficult for Yang Long, who could only see with one eye, to see clearly.
In this forest, his Dragon Pattern Spear Martial Soul was difficult to use. He could only slash, thrust, and sweep, and his range was limited by the trees.
What surprised him even more was that every time he thrust at Xiao Wu, she seemed to be able to predict the direction of his attack in advance and dodge it in time.
Her speed and agility were something he couldn't catch up to at all.
"First Spirit Ability! Spear Out Like a Dragon!"
Yang Long shouted and held the spear with both hands. His Spirit Power condensed on the tip of the spear, forming a dragon shape condensed from Spirit Power. He predicted where Xiao Wu would appear next and thrust out in advance.
Whoosh!
The dragon-shaped energy shot out with Yang Long's thrusting motion, piercing through a large tree and heading straight for Xiao Wu's next landing spot.
It was foreseeable that if Xiao Wu took that step, she would be hit by this attack.
However, Xiao Wu predicted Yang Long's prediction and forcibly stopped her forward step. She dodged this attack while also charging towards Yang Long, who was still in a thrusting motion.
This all happened in an instant.
Xiao Wu had already arrived in front of Yang Long, who had not yet reacted from his thrusting motion. She supported herself with her hands on the ground, and her first Spirit Ring lit up. She activated her Waist Bow.
Immediately, Xiao Wu bent her waist and kicked Yang Long's chest with all her might, sending him flying into a tree.
"Puff!"
Yang Long spat out blood from his mouth, and his chest caved in with two footprints. His ribs were already broken and had pierced his internal organs.
The Waist Bow was to use one's body as a bow, clamp the enemy's neck with both legs, and throw them away. However, in reality, it was not necessary to clamp the enemy's head or neck. At the moment when the body was stretched straight, using the force to kick the enemy away was also a kind of attack method.
"You..."
Yang Long stared with wide eyes, not understanding why he had been killed by Xiao Wu. He was clearly a Spirit Master, while the other party was only a Great Spirit Master.
However, Yang Long forgot that Xiao Wu, who could withstand a thousand-year Spirit Ring, had a physical quality that was not inferior to a Spirit Master, or even slightly stronger.
Secondly, Xiao Wu often sparred with Tang San and the people from the Spirit Hall, so she had some understanding of all kinds of Martial Souls, especially the Long Spear Martial Soul. The Spirit Masters from the Spirit Hall, even if their Martial Soul was not a long spear, would also use it. It was the standard equipment for the people from the Spirit Hall.
Furthermore, the battleground was in this forest. The trees were as thick as a person's body, so even a Spirit Master would be restricted. Yang Long could use the Dragon Pattern Spear to break one tree, two trees, or three trees, but he couldn't break the entire forest. His Spirit Power at the Spirit Master level didn't support him to do that.
In this environment, Xiao Wu's Soft Boned Rabbit Martial Soul could be used to its maximum potential.
Of course, the most important point was that Yang Long had underestimated the enemy at the beginning. He had been injured in the right eye by the wooden short knife at the end of Xiao Wu's scorpion braid, which had impaired his vision. Moreover, his anger had made him lose some of his rationality.
