Chapter 76: Tang San's Defeat, Chaos in the Army!

At this moment, Tang San's body had been sent flying by Liu Yuan's scythe, and he was retreating frantically.

After retreating a considerable distance, Tang San finally couldn't bear it any longer and had to insert his Trident of the Sea God into the ground to stop his retreat.

Finally, Tang San managed to anchor himself in place.

But for Tang San at this moment, his condition was abysmal.

Although it was just a brief exchange with Liu Yuan.

But after that exchange, Tang San was directly pushed back by a single strike of Liu Yuan's scythe.

Even though he had finally managed to stop his retreat, Tang San still felt a surge in his abdomen.

His face turned pale, his strength weakened, and finally, unable to endure any longer, he spewed a mouthful of blood.

Spurt!

Instantly, the ground was splattered with bright red blood, and after he finished spitting out the blood, Tang San appeared even weaker.

"Tang San actually lost?"

"How is this possible? Didn't he just say that killing this person would be as easy as killing a chicken? How come he couldn't even withstand a single strike now?"

"This Soul Master is too strong!"

"..."

The soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire were dumbfounded upon witnessing this scene.

Everyone had believed that Tang San would emerge victorious in his battle against the Soul Master, just like they did.

Because prior to this, Tang San had achieved numerous remarkable victories.

Whether it was defeating Bibi Dong or the two elders of the Holy Spirit Sect, he had demonstrated his extraordinary strength.

It was only natural for them to assume that Tang San would be the same when facing Liu Yuan.

Not to mention that Tang San had displayed great confidence earlier, saying things like "killing him is as easy as killing a chicken."

Therefore, when Tang San was easily defeated by his opponent, the soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire were truly shocked.

This turn of events far surpassed their imagination.

After witnessing this scene, they were not only dumbfounded but also wanted to question Tang San:

"What's going on with you?"

"Didn't you say it would be as easy as killing a chicken?"

"How come you ended up being the chicken?"

Of course, while these soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire harbored many grievances in their hearts, they didn't dare to criticize Tang San's performance since he was their vanguard general.

At most, they could only complain silently to themselves.

However, Dai Mubai and the others on the side couldn't hold back and spoke up directly.

"Tang San actually lost?"

"Wasn't this Masked Man just a clone?"

"Weren't you supposed to win for sure? How did you end up losing?"

"And this is just a clone."

"If a clone is already this formidable, how powerful would the original be?"

Dai Mubai and the others were also shaken by waves of astonishment in their hearts.

No one had anticipated that Tang San would be defeated before, including Dai Mubai and the others.

Therefore, after witnessing this scene, they were completely stunned. They never expected that the battle between Tang San and Liu Yuan would yield this result.

Moreover, Dai Mubai also started to feel a strong sense of dread towards Liu Yuan.

After all, it aligned with what Dai Mubai had pondered in his heart just now.

Just a mere clone came here and managed to beat Tang San to this extent.

Wouldn't they all become lost souls under his scythe if the original came?

Even experts like Dai Mubai couldn't help but tremble and shiver when they thought about this. They continued to gaze at Liu Yuan ahead, their hearts filled with dread.

Of course.

Tang San's defeat dealt the greatest blow to everyone present, especially Yu Xiaogang.

After all, Yu Xiaogang had always considered Tang San as his greatest trump card.

He had always believed in Tang San's strength.

As long as they could find Liu Yuan, with Tang San's power, it would be effortless for him to help Yu Xiaogang achieve his revenge.

And at that time, he would mercilessly torment Liu Yuan, returning the pain he had inflicted on him hundreds of times over.

That's why Yu Xiaogang had been so relentless in searching for Liu Yuan's whereabouts in recent years.

It was because he had absolute confidence in Tang San, believing that Tang San could help him eliminate Liu Yuan.

But now, that illusion was completely shattered.

The duel between Tang San and Liu Yuan just now unfolded before his eyes.

Yu Xiaogang witnessed it with his own eyes—Tang San was no match for Liu Yuan.

Facing Liu Yuan, Tang San was as helpless as a baby! With a single move, Liu Yuan could make Tang San vomit blood, barely clinging to life.

And this was just Liu Yuan's clone state.

What Dai Mubai had previously thought, Yu Xiaogang also realized.

If Liu Yuan was already this powerful in his clone state, how formidable would he be in his original form?

"Could it be that the words of those two Soul Masters were true?"

"Is this Masked Man really that powerful, to the point where even gods might not be his match?"

Yu Xiaogang finally recalled the words spoken by the two elders of the Holy Spirit Sect and Xiao Wu.

The two elders and Xiao Wu had explicitly stated that Liu Yuan's strength was incredibly formidable.

Not to mention facing Tang San, even some gods were not his match.

At that time, Yu Xiaogang naturally didn't believe it, thinking that they were bragging.

But now, whether he believed it or not, he had to accept it.

After all, the opponent had easily defeated Tang San with just a clone.

So his original form must have a divine-level power, right?

"Xiao San, what do you think? Should we retreat for now?"

With this thought, Yu Xiaogang also felt a strong fear towards Liu Yuan.

Although he held some resentment towards Liu Yuan and had always wanted to take down the Spirit Hall, his own life was more important than anything else.

There's a saying that goes, "It's better to preserve the green hills than have no firewood to burn."

Staying here any longer might cost him his life.

What's the point of dying?

So in this moment, Yu Xiaogang quickly ran towards Tang San on one side and then turned his gaze to him, asking, "Let's retreat, Teacher. This person is too powerful, I can't defeat him."

Tang San also admitted that he was no match for Liu Yuan.

After the battle just now, Tang San had realized how formidable the opponent's strength was.

Not to mention that Tang San was severely injured by a single move from the opponent.

Even the Trident of the Sea God in Tang San's hand had cracks after that attack.

If they continued fighting, Tang San's Trident of the Sea God might be rendered useless.

Therefore, Tang San chose to retreat.

As long as Liu Yuan was present, they were in great danger. In that case, it was better to retreat quickly and consider the next steps carefully.

"Alright, sound the retreat signal!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang agreed with Tang San.

He then shouted loudly, preparing to retreat.

"You want to run? There's no way out!"

At this moment, Xiao Wu became anxious and took a step forward, preparing to charge ahead.

She didn't want Tang San and the others to escape!
