The Sea God's Trident slapped flat against his chest.

"Pfft!"

Tang Chen's chest caved in, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, his face pale as golden paper.

He stumbled backward several steps, then knelt on the ground.

With widened tiger-like eyes, he stared intently at Luo Yu.

"What, not convinced?"

Luo Yu sneered.

"If I hadn't held back my strength, that blow would have been more than just forcing you to kneel."

"It would have been—"

"Shattered!"

Being crushed by a young man in front of his beloved goddess, Tang Chen's mentality collapsed.

His lips quivered with anger.

At this moment, Luo Yu coldly said:

"I thought Tang Chen as the Ancestor of the Haotian Sect would at least be a hero of his generation."

"Little did I expect, you're like a greenhorn who's just stepped out into the world, ungrateful, and even insolent to the one who saved your life because of a woman."

"Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous," Luo Yu shook his head repeatedly.

The disappointment that flashed in his eyes deeply wounded Tang Chen's pride.

"I..."

Tang Chen knelt there, with fresh blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

He looked extremely disheveled.

Clenching his fists tightly, his face was filled with unwillingness.

He very much wanted to shout, "Are you teaching me what to do?"

"Are you even worthy?"

But remembering that it was Luo Yu who had saved him, and who possessed the strength to defeat him,

how could he possibly have the face to utter any word of rebuttal.

"Sigh..."

A long sigh rang out, and Tang Chen's back stooped, as if he had aged more than a decade.

"It was my oversight."

Looking up again at Luo Yu, Tang Chen's eyes were filled with complexity:

"I should face reality."

"Thank you for your help."

"I don't know how you found out I was trapped in Slaughter City."

Luo Yu nodded slightly.

His arm flicked, withdrawing the Sea God's Trident.

"How I knew you were here isn't important, what's important is that you're safe now, isn't it?"

Tang Chen saw that Luo Yu didn't want to tell him the truth, but also understood that everyone has their own secrets.

Naturally, he wouldn't be tactless enough to press the matter.

And he didn't have the strength to press on either, it was already good enough that Luo Yu hadn't killed him.

Tang Chen stood up and gratefully gave Luo Yu a bow.

Luo Yu curled his lips.

He wasn't interested in such scenes.

Pointing to the winding and rugged path in the darkness, he urged:

"Alright, quickly regulate your breathing, I still have to continue down."

Tang Chen was abruptly at a loss for words.

Never in his life had he been treated so casually, even with disdain.

But he said nothing more.

Immediately, he sat down cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing for recovery.

A fragrant breeze blew by.

Hulena stood lively by Luo Yu's side.

She gave a thumbs up with her fair, delicate thumb.

"Brother Yu, that was impressive."

"Even the Ancestor of the Haotian Sect has been subdued by you."

Luo Yu shook his head.

"It's nothing."

Hulena couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Others might not know, but how could she be unaware of Tang Chen's once-famed reputation?

"Brother Yu, I really didn't expect someone who once dominated an era to be defeated by you."

"That's incredible."

Luo Yu rubbed her hair with his big hand.

Staring into Hulena's bewitching beautiful eyes.

"It's just the remains of the old era, after all, practice well, the new era belongs to you."

Hulena broke free from Luo Yu's hand, pouting her lips and saying:

"Pssh, Brother Yu, you sound so old-fashioned."

"It's so awkward to listen to."

Bi Bidong approached and said:

"He's your grandmaster, whether you feel comfortable or not, you have to get used to it."

Hulena sulkily retracted her neck like a swan.

At this moment, Tang Chen, who was sitting and meditating, nearly went berserk from the conversation he could hear outside.

He wished he could jump up and shout, "Don't I have any face to save?"

Bossi did not spare Tang Chen even a glance.

For she knew her boundaries.

Having found the man she loved, she automatically maintained a sufficient distance from other suitors.

"Honey, where do we prepare to head next?"

Luo Yu rubbed his forehead.

He didn't know where exactly to go either.

Because he discovered that the two locations marked on the map were both on this Hell Road.

But as to which direction they were specifically in, that was unclear, indiscernible.

He couldn't help but secretly curse the System.

If we're cheating with a locator, can't it cheat more thoroughly and be more precise?

"Isn't this the only road? Let's keep going down this road."

"Okay," Bossi nodded.

...

After resting for a while, Tang Chen got up.

His pale complexion had become much rosier.

Though his body still bore many wounds, he faintly exuded the majesty of an Ultimate Douluo.

Imposing and muscular.

"Click, click!"

The Hao Tian Hammer that lay on the ground was picked up by him as he bent over.

Holding the Hao Tian Hammer, his tiger eyes locked onto Luo Yu.

"Tang Chen, what are you planning to do?" Bi Bidong's phoenix eyes narrowed.

Luo Yu crossed his arms, a look of amusement on his face.

Tang Chen said in a deep voice, "I'm quite surprised by your strength."

"I can't imagine which power in Soul Land could have nurtured such an outstanding talent as you, to possess such terrifying strength at this age."

"Even the Martial Soul Hall could definitely not have the foundation to cultivate a genius like you."

Luo Yu dug at his ear, "If you just want to say such things, then you needn't bother."

"Because I'm tired of hearing them."

Tang Chen shook his head repeatedly.

"No, what I mean to say is."

"Although you are strong, I am not weak. Even if you got the better of me just now, that was because I was too weakened."

"In my prime, you wouldn't stand a chance."

"You seem very confident," Luo Yu's mouth curled up, without any sign of anger.

"Of course."

Tang Chen said proudly, "I have never been defeated in my life. Even Qian Daoliu wouldn't dare to confront me head-on, naturally I fear no one."

"And then you ended up like this," Luo Yu said.

Tang Chen's momentum halted, his face turning awkward.

"That... that's because I was calculated by the Deities."

Luo Yu clapped his hands.

"Good, I hope you keep that confidence."

"When you are fully recovered, I will give you a chance to fight me."

"But what awaits you will either be death or complete submission to me."

"Tsk."

"You're underestimating me."

Tang Chen laughed, feeling that Luo Yu knew nothing of his true strength.

Bossi and Bi Bidong exchanged glances.

They both saw sympathy in each other's eyes.

How could they not know the strength of their own man?

"Tang Chen, you..."

Bossi had only started speaking when Tang Chen interrupted her.

"You don't need to say anything, I understand, I get it."

Tang Chen gritted his teeth, "When the time comes, I definitely won't hurt your little lover."

"After all, he is my benefactor; I won't let him get too severely injured."

Bossi sighed quietly in her heart.

I wanted to advise you not to be rash.

After all, if you anger Luo Yu in your impulsiveness, it's very likely he could kill you.

Bi Bidong whispered, "Let it be, don't try to stop him. A ghost bent on dying can't be stopped."

Tang Chen watched as Bi Bidong and Bossi whispered to each other.

His eyelids twitched.

He thought to himself what kind of background and connections this kid had.

Bossi was wooed away by him.

Even the Female Pope of the Martial Soul Hall was conquered by him?

Bossi could actually bear to share a man with someone else?

Damn it.

What were the deeds and abilities of this kid?

During the time he'd been possessed by the Three-headed Bat, what exactly had happened in Soul Land?

"Let's go, let's head down and have a look."

Commanding the team, Luo Yu led them down the dark, winding path.

Beneath the black rock platform.

Pairs of crimson eyes had long since set their sights on them...
