Chapter 48: Xiao Wu Makes a Move, Seizing the Prey from the Tiger's Mouth

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu and the two elders from the Holy Spirit Sect finally arrived near Jialing Pass.

Since they received Liu Yuan's command that day and left the inheritance of the God of Death, Xiao Wu and the two Holy Spirit Sect elders had been traveling at full speed.

Among these three, there's no need to say much about Xiao Wu.

Since she saw through Tang San's true nature, Xiao Wu has harbored deep hatred towards Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and their companions.

She dreams of killing them.

But her current abilities are inferior.

If one day she truly manages to defeat and capture Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, she will make them experience a fate worse than death.

That's why Xiao Wu is determined and urgent to reach the battlefield during this journey.

The other two elders from the Holy Spirit Sect share the same sentiment on this matter.

Although they don't hate Tang San as intensely as Xiao Wu does.

In their eyes, Liu Yuan is their god.

Any command issued by Liu Yuan is considered divine decree.

So, naturally, they are willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill Liu Yuan's orders.

After a period of intense travel, they have now arrived near Jialing Pass.

Originally, their plan was to go to the front line to gather intelligence and then make preparations.

Unexpectedly, during their journey, Xiao Wu and the two elders suddenly sensed several powerful clashes of soul power.

"Is someone fighting?"

"This soul power... Tang San?"

In just an instant, Xiao Wu identified one of the soul powers as belonging to Tang San.

After all, she is very familiar with Tang San.

Not only because of their long acquaintance, but also because her spirit rings and spirit bones are in Tang San's possession.

Therefore, whenever Tang San makes a move, Xiao Wu can sense it as long as she is nearby.

This time, Xiao Wu quickly sensed Tang San's strength and turned to the two elders from the Spirit Hall.

"Should we go and take a look, elders?"

The two elders nodded in response.

Their mission in coming to Jialing Pass consisted of three parts.

The first was to disrupt Tang San's various plans and prevent him from having too smooth a time on the battlefield.

The second part is to kill Yu Xiaogang. He has lived long enough.

The third part is to save Bibi Dong, which the Supreme Pontiff emphasized.

Since Xiao Wu has now noticed that Tang San is nearby and engaged in battle with the enemy, it is natural for them to observe the situation.

If they're lucky, Tang San will encounter a strong enemy, and they can take advantage of the situation to assist the enemy in dealing with Tang San.

In the worst case scenario, even if Tang San overwhelms the enemy, they can still intervene and snatch the spoils of war from the tiger's mouth, ensuring that Tang San doesn't have it too easy.

In any case, as long as things don't go smoothly for Tang San, it will make the Supreme Pontiff happy. And for the two elders, anything that pleases the Supreme Pontiff is worth it.

"Let's go."

With this in mind, the two elders exchanged glances and then responded to Xiao Wu on the side.

They all instinctively took a turn and quickly headed towards the direction where Tang San's soul power was emanating from.

Before long, they finally arrived at the scene.

Soon after, they clearly witnessed the previous events.

"I didn't expect Tang San's strength to improve so rapidly... In such a short time, he has become so powerful."

Xiao Wu's eyebrows furrowed completely upon seeing Tang San's strength.

She had thought that her own progress was already quite swift and believed that Tang San was no longer her match.

But now she realized that she had been overthinking it; Tang San's progress surpassed hers, which made Xiao Wu feel somewhat disappointed.

"That trident in his hand seems to be a divine weapon..."

"His own strength isn't that strong, not even at the ninety-fifth rank."

"However, with the power of that trident, he can unleash strength far beyond that of a ninety-fifth rank Titled Douluo."

"This young man has indeed come into his own."

The gazes of the two Holy Spirit Sect elders became even more vicious. After briefly glancing at the Sea God Trident in Tang San's hand, they successfully deduced the reason behind it.

This made them hold a bit more admiration for Liu Yuan in their hearts.

"Indeed worthy of the Supreme Pontiff, a divine strategist. Despite not having seen Tang San for many years, he can accurately deduce Tang San's current strength."

"It seems that we should not go against the Supreme Pontiff's warning. Unless absolutely necessary, we must not confront Tang San head-on."

The two Spirit Hall elders whispered to each other.

But upon hearing this, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel anxious.

It's not that she wants to save someone or anything like that, she simply can't stand Tang San's arrogance.

Especially now that her hearing is excellent, she could clearly hear Tang San planning to insult Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue after winning this war, which infuriated Xiao Wu even more.

So now she really doesn't want Tang San to have an easy time.

Even if she can't kill him, she absolutely can't let him have his way.

Isn't killing Yue Guan a great accomplishment? Doesn't Tang San want to kill Yue Guan?

Since that's the case, Xiao Wu is determined to save Yue Guan from Tang San's clutches and see if he can still laugh so smugly!

Therefore, Xiao Wu quickly said to the two Holy Spirit Sect elders on the side:

"Although that's true, we can't let him be too smug."

"If we can't confront him head-on, then let's not confront him head-on."

"A surprise attack, and then save Yue Guan from his grasp. Yue Guan is Bibi Dong's capable lieutenant, helping Bibi Dong is the Supreme Pontiff's intention, and our actions are also for the Supreme Pontiff."

The two Holy Spirit Sect elders agreed upon hearing this.

After all, they had a certain level of confidence in their own abilities.

Facing Tang San, engaging in direct combat would definitely not make them his match.

But if it's a sudden attack, retreating after saving someone, there shouldn't be a problem.

With this in mind, the two Holy Spirit Sect elders quickly divided their roles.

"Since that's the case, we will be responsible for the surprise attack and stopping Tang San."

"You go and save the person."

Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Soon after, the three of them didn't hesitate any longer and split into two groups, launching their attacks directly.

On the other side.

At this moment, Tang San and Dai Mubai's faces were filled with satisfaction.

They had defeated Yue Guan and had already started imagining in their minds the scene where they would return with the news of Yue Guan's death and be revered by thousands of people!

Imagine how satisfying that would be!

"Alright, it's time to make a move! Send him on his way!"

After sneering for a long time, Tang San couldn't help but make a move.

Holding the Trident of the Sea God, he aimed at Yue Guan ahead and stabbed directly.

Yue Guan was already heavily injured at this moment, devoid of any resistance. Seeing the trident coming at him, his face turned ashen and despair filled his heart.

However, at this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared like a ghost.

Before Tang San's Trident of the Sea God could hit Yue Guan, Xiao Wu suddenly activated her invincible golden body, gaining a brief damage immunity. Then, she forcibly helped Yue Guan withstand the attack.

Tang San was instantly astonished.

"Who dares to ruin my plans!"
