Chapter 869: Chapter 220 Desperate Fight_1
Hearing these questions, Tang San fell silent for a moment.
Actually, he did not want to get involved in the conflicts between the various empires for the time being.
Eliminating the evil Soul Masters and that so-called Holy Spirit Cult was what he really wanted to do...
But...
It seemed the situation wouldn't allow it.
"You should know the strength of the Sun-Moon Empire. Initially, it was only with the joint effort of Shrek Academy, Xingluo Empire, Heavenly Soul Empire, and Douling Empire that a narrow victory was achieved.
Now that they've made a comeback, their momentum is even more ferocious. I'm sure their combat strength must have grown even stronger, and the Xingluo Empire facing them is like trying to stop a car with an arm."
Niu Tian knew Tang San to some extent.
Tang San's sense of personal loyalty was strong.
How strong? Strong enough that aside from his own family, he couldn't let go of anyone else.
Even his family members were tools to him.
All of this was seen by Niu Tian.
Setting other things aside, Tang San took his family to ascend to the Divine Realm and live a carefree life, but what about his teacher?
Yu Xiaogang died of old age on Douluo Continent.
It was unimaginable how cruel this was to Yu Xiaogang. After all, his greatest desire was to become a strong man admired by all.
Moreover, when Tang San was weak, he always said that he regarded Yu Xiaogang as his own father.
However.
What was his real father like, and what about Yu Xiaogang?
His real father became a plane master, while not even Yu Xiaogang's bones remained.
This was the so-called repayment Tang San always talked about.
Niu Tian could only laugh.
"You make a good point, I indeed can't let those guys from the Sun-Moon Empire do as they please."
After pondering for a long while, Tang San slowly nodded, acknowledging Niu Tian's words.
"Niu Tian, you will continue to defend the Hao Tian Clan. Titan, you take all the powerhouses of Hao Tian Clan to aid the Xingluo Empire. No matter what, we can't let the Sun-Moon Empire break into Xingluo territory."
Tang San said in a deep voice, "Evil Soul Masters excel at absorbing souls to enhance their own strength. If a war erupting across the entire Douluo Continent truly breaks out, the evil Soul Masters will surely seize this opportunity to rapidly increase their strength, potentially becoming an uncontrollable factor.
Therefore, to deal with the evil Soul Masters, we must first ensure that Douluo Continent remains peaceful, without any wars."
So it turned out he was still considering his own interests... Niu Tian's eyes flashed, sneering secretly in his heart.
It had to be said that Tang San's analysis was somewhat chilling.
It was as if in his eyes, everyone could be a tool.
"Niu Tian, Titan, I might consider others as blades and pawns in my hand. But not you, you are my family..."
What a man Tang San was; he instantly perceived the hidden meaning in Niu Tian's gaze.
His mind quickly found words to placate.
And these words proved to be effective.
At least, they were for Titan.
Scratching his head naively, he said, "You, me, Xiaowu, Da Ming, Xiao Qi, we are all family. Why say such things?"
Niu Tian's eyes flashed, and he too cracked a smile.
But in his heart, he disagreed.
"Ha ha ha, who's your family? No, to be precise, who dares to be your family?
Not even sparing your own daughter, using her as a pawn, and splitting her soul in two, one can only imagine how painful and chilling it would be to be your family member," he thought.
This was indeed what Niu Tian believed.
Better to face death swiftly as an enemy than to live a life worse than death as family, enduring the agony of a soul split in two...
Such a family, he'd rather not have.
"Alright," Tang San clapped his hands, "then let's proceed as I've said. For now, I will be responsible for investigating exactly where the headquarters of the evil Soul Masters is hidden in the Sun-Moon Empire."
...
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than three months had passed.
The Sun-Moon Empire was in constant conflict with the Xingluo Empire.
But, with the support of the remnants of Shrek and the Hao Tian Clan, the Xingluo Empire, which should have quickly collapsed under the Sun-Moon Empire, was putting up a good fight.
Both sides kept exchanging blows, and for the time being, neither managed to cross the Ming Dou Mountain Range, maintaining a stalemate.
Today your side advances, tomorrow ours will counterattack...
However, the casualties on both sides kept increasing. The two great empires were also continuously summoning their powerhouses for reinforcements; it seemed like it wouldn't be long before the Ming Dou Mountain Range would turn into a meat grinder, a graveyard for the empires.
During these months, Qin Xiao was very quiet, focusing entirely on his cultivation and not stirring up any trouble.
Because he knew that after the destruction of Shrek Academy, it was certain to alarm Tang San.
Even he didn't know what means Tang San would use to reverse the chaos.
The only certainty was that Tang San was absolutely the kind of person who would stop at nothing.
As long as he could achieve victory, he couldn't care less whether the means were despicable or not.
In the original story, when the Sun-Moon Empire was crushing everything in its path, almost annihilating the three major empires, Tang San couldn't stand it any longer, so he personally descended with an avatar, using a child as a bargaining chip to blackmail Ju Zi into retreating; it was simply the epitome of despicableness.
At that time, Qin Xiao was so angry he was almost spitting fire upon reading this part.
Is this it?
And he's worthy of being called a Divine King?
It's simply disgraceful.
A true Divine King should stand tall, admired by countless people.
It's not about being magnanimous, but at least not engaging in such petty and despicable acts.
Not to mention anything else, just look at God-King Jiang from that red-haired monster's novels, and then look at Tang God-King.
Without comparison, there would be no hurt.
The dignity of a Divine King has been utterly lost in Tang San.
However, that being said, Qin Xiao felt that he still should think ahead and come up with countermeasures.
Therefore, he needed to raise his cultivation level to the Soul Saint Level as soon as possible.
Then he would officially be able to integrate with his godhood.
And today was the crucial day for him to break through the level seventy barrier.
"Break for me!"
Qin Xiao shouted angrily and directly poured a bottle of medicinal elixir into his mouth.
Suddenly, a powerful force surged through his body like a torrent, moving through all the meridians, and finally converged at one point, fusing with his own Soul Power.
Qin Xiao's skin began to turn bright red, and his veins bulged visibly.
It was clear that he was truly going all out this time.
The potent medicine erupted, almost reaching the limit his body could withstand.
This could only be Qin Xiao.
His physical constitution was so strong that it was comparable to that of a Soul Douluo.
Otherwise, aside from another person, not even a Soul Sage could handle such a terrifying medicinal effect.
Heaving, heaving...
With each breath Qin Xiao took, one could see white streams of air moving through his nostrils like little snakes.
"Heh, hehe, I can't remember the last time I pushed myself this hard," a ferocious smile spread across Qin Xiao's face.
Then, he made a shocking move.
He took out another bottle of medicinal elixir and poured it into his mouth, chewing it as though he was munching on beans.
As the elixir was swallowed, another powerful surge of its potency once again assailed his body.
This time, a terrifying scene occurred.
On his body, blood-red lines emerged, as if he were a piece of porcelain about to shatter.
