Chapter 427 A Plan to Capture and Kill Tang 3
Sensing his rage, the vengeful spirits around the altar let out sharp screams.
The purplish-black mist surged wildly, like skinned venomous snakes, twisting and crawling around the altar of bones.
Tang San sat in the center of the altar, his hands gripping the armrests tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. The image in the Mirror of Vengeful Souls remained frozen on the scene of Tang Chuan and Qian Renxue leaving Tian Dou City side by side.
One gold and one blue.
An angel god.
A life controller wielding the trident of Poseidon.
They should have been enemies.
One represents the Martial Soul Empire, and the other stands above Heaven Dou City.
One had just attacked Tiandou, and the other had just returned to stop the war.
But now, they've actually joined forces.
Tang San could not accept it.
What he found even more unacceptable was the way Qian Renxue looked at Tang Chuan.
That wasn't the look one gives when facing an enemy, nor was it pure fear.
There was admiration, complexity, and even an emotion that Tang San was unwilling to admit.
Tang San suddenly chuckled softly.
"Good, very good."
"Tang Chuan, you really do have people willing to stand by your side wherever you go. The ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest trust you, the people of Tian Dou trust you, and even that woman Qian Renxue is willing to join forces with you."
"On what grounds?"
Why does everyone think you're a savior?
He slammed his palm down on the skeletal armrest.
With a deafening boom, the entire altar trembled violently, countless vengeful spirits were shattered, and then reformed within the power of the Rakshasa.
"Since you want to join forces to kill me, then I'll make you pay the price first."
Tang San slowly raised his head, his eyes flickering with eerie green flames.
The scene in the Mirror of Vengeful Spirits gradually changed, finally settling on the direction of the Starry Sky Forest.
"Di Tian..."
"Qian Renxue..."
"Tang Chuan..."
"You three want to gang up on me and kill me?"
A sinister smile slowly crept onto his lips.
"Let's see who swallows whom in the end."
After saying that, Tang San raised his hand and waved it, and the Mirror of Vengeful Souls shattered instantly.
Around the altar, seventeen titled Douluo spirits stood silently.
Xiao Wu, Bibi Dong, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tai Long, Ju Douluo, Gui Douluo, Flander, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming.
There was also Tang Xiao, and five elders from the Haotian Sect.
The eyes of all the undead burned with grayish-white soul fire.
Looking at them, Tang San finally felt a bit of the twisted sense of security returning to him.
These people won't question him.
I won't argue with him.
I will not betray him.
They will only obey orders.
All they do is kill.
It will only become a stepping stone for him to ascend to the position of Rakshasa.
Tang San slowly closed his eyes, the wound left by the Dragon God's Claw on his chest still throbbed faintly.
He knew that he couldn't rashly confront Tang Chuan, Qian Renxue, and Di Tian head-on.
Especially Di Tian's Dragon God Claw. That attack not only destroyed his undead army, but also backfired on his body through the undead brand. If he hadn't bound the undead core to the Rakshasa Altar beforehand, that attack would have been enough to completely collapse his undead army.
Now, he needs more soul.
More resentment, more of the essence of a powerful being. Only by truly completing the ninth trial of Rakshasa and condensing the Rakshasa Divine Armor can he be fearless against Tang Chuan, Qian Renxue, and Di Tian.
Tang San opened his eyes with a gloomy expression.
"wait."
"Wait a little longer."
"Since they've joined forces, they're bound to make some moves."
"Tang Chuan, you're trying to trap me."
"But the locations of the hunter and the prey are never fixed."
……
at the same time.
The Starry Sky Forest is a place of great danger.
When Tang Chuan and Qian Renxue arrived, the entire Lake of Life trembled slightly.
Above the lake, a rich aura of life slowly rose, and emerald green mist permeated the ancient trees, gradually covering the area that had been polluted by the Rakshasa's divine power.
Brigitte is healing an injured soul beast by the lake.
Xiong Jun sat cross-legged not far away, his dark golden fur still bearing several black marks from the Rakshasa Demon Scythe. Chi Wang lay on the other side, all three heads with their eyes closed, yet the lingering fire within him was still visible. Zi Ji stood in the shadow of the ancient tree, coldly watching the two beams of light descend from the horizon.
Di Tian stood before the Lake of Life.
Clad in black, with golden eyes and an aura as deep as an abyss, the atmosphere in the entire ominous place instantly became subtle when Tang Chuan and Qian Renxue appeared together.
Tang Chuan is alright. Most of the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest have already seen him and know that he has a good relationship with Di Tian and Bi Ji.
But Qian Renxue is different; she is the Angel Goddess of the Martial Soul Empire.
There is hardly any goodwill between the Spirit Hall and the spirit beasts.
In particular, the powerful figures of the Spirit Hall have hunted high-level spirit beasts to obtain spirit rings and spirit bones throughout the ages, so the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest have never had any goodwill towards the Spirit Hall.
Upon seeing Qian Renxue, Xiong Jun exhaled a breath of hot air and said coldly:
"Another human god has arrived."
"Tang Chuan, you brought her here because you want to reignite the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Qian Renxue's golden eyes turned cold, and the golden light on her angelic divine armor flickered slightly.
"Bear Lord, if I wanted to start a war, I wouldn't have waited until now."
Xiong Jun grinned, and his dark gold claws lightly scratched the ground, instantly creating five deep cracks in the hard ground: "I don't like the people of the Spirit Hall."
Qian Renxue said calmly:
"I didn't expect you to like it anyway."
The air suddenly became sharp.
Tang Chuan stepped forward and stood between the two.
"Now is not the time for internal strife."
Di Tian also slowly spoke:
"Bear Lord, step back."
Xiong Jun snorted coldly, but ultimately said nothing more, simply standing aside with his arms crossed.
Di Tian looked at Qian Renxue, his golden dragon eyes narrowing slightly.
"Angel God."
Qian Renxue also looked at Di Tian.
"Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King".
Their auras collided for a fleeting moment, almost imperceptibly.
One is a human deity who has just inherited the position of angel.
One is the true Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest, an unparalleled ferocious beast possessing the bloodline of the Dragon God.
If it weren't for Tang San, a common threat standing in their way, they probably wouldn't be able to stand so calmly on the same land.
Tang Chuan got straight to the point:
"Tang San has already massacred cities one after another and even resurrected the spirits of the Clear Sky Sect."
"He currently has at least seventeen undead titled Douluo under his command."
"Furthermore, his Rakshasa altar is constantly growing stronger."
Di Tian's eyes darkened.
"Seventeen?"
Tang Chuan nodded.
"In addition to those already there, Tang Xiao and five elders from the Haotian Sect have been added."
Xiong Jun sneered, "To turn even the people of one's own sect into puppets, this human is even more insane than the madmen among the soul beasts."
Biji said softly, "He was injured by the Dragon God's Claw and should be weak for a short time, but if he continues to slaughter cities and devour souls, his injuries will recover quickly."
Thousand-foot Snow Path:
"He has recovered somewhat."
"When I caught up with him, his aura was much more stable than when he had just fled from the Star Dou Great Forest."
"He used the cities I had just conquered to replenish the Rakshasa altar."
Di Tian looked at Tang Chuan.
"How do you plan to kill him?"
Tang Chuan did not answer immediately, but instead raised his hand and released the Blue Silver Emperor.
A cyan-gold and blue-silver emperor grew from his palm, its roots sinking into the soil at the edge of the Lake of Life, quickly connecting with the surrounding vegetation.
After a moment, Tang Chuan slowly said:
"Chasing down Tang San will be very difficult."
"He possesses the Rakshasa Scythe, which can tear open the Rakshasa space."
"He has a large number of undead on him, which can buy us time. If we just passively wait for him to appear, he will continue to slaughter the city, continue to flank, and continue to devour souls."
"Therefore, we cannot wait."
Di Tian's gaze shifted slightly.
"Are you trying to set me up?"
Tang Chuan nodded.
"He wants three things most right now."
"First, the origin of a 100,000-year-old soul beast and a ferocious beast."
"Secondly, a large number of battlefield casualties."
"Third, the chance that we will both suffer heavy losses."
Qian Renxue's gaze sharpened.
"You're deliberately creating an opportunity for him to think he can reap the benefits without lifting a finger."
Tang Chuan glanced at her.
"good."
Emperor Tiandao:
"How exactly do we do it?"
Tang Chuan turned his head to look in the direction of the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Initiate a beast tide."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the ferocious beasts changed.
Xiong Jun frowned and said:
"Launch a beast tide?"
The Crimson King also raised his head, and all three heads looked at Tang Chuan at the same time.
"You want to send soul beasts to attack human cities?"
Tang Chuan shook his head.
"It's not to create a sacrifice for Tang San."
"It's to create the impression that the Star Dou Great Forest is at war with humanity."
"Di Tian, order the spirit beasts on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest to advance towards the human border. Make a big show of it, and ideally, Tang San should be able to detect it through the vengeful spirits and the Rakshasa Anchor Point."
"Qian Renxue has mobilized part of the Spirit Empire's Soul Master Legion to set up an array around the Star Dou Great Forest, preparing to fight the beast tide. I will also have the Heaven Dou and Star Luo forces cooperate in withdrawing from the border villages and towns, and relocating all the people to safe cities."
"The battlefield was chosen in an open area."
"There were no civilian casualties. There were no truly large-scale deaths or injuries."
"But outwardly, it should look like a deadly battle between humans and soul beasts."
Qian Renxue quickly understood what he meant.
"This led Tang San to believe that the Star Dou Great Forest and the Spirit Empire had finally erupted into a full-scale war due to their old grudges and the situation stirred up by Tang San."
Tang Chuan nodded.
"Moreover, we can't just stage conflicts."
"We also have to pretend that both sides are severely injured."
Di Tian's eyes were deep and thoughtful.
"Tang San is inherently suspicious."
"He might not fall for a simple beast tide."
Tang Chuan said:
"Therefore, we need your help."
Di Tian looked at him.
Tang Chuan continued:
"You and Qian Renxue will fight on the outskirts of the Starry Sky."
"Of course, it's not a real fight to the death."
"But the outside world must witness the clash between the Angel God and the Beast God. The collision of divine auras will injure the ferocious beasts, cause the human soul master army to retreat, and result in heavy losses for the Star Dou Great Forest."
"I will not show my face for the time being."
"Or, after showing up, he might be knocked back by the aftershocks of your combined attack, then feign injury and leave."
"Tang San hates me the most. If he finds out I'm injured, and you and Di Tian are both greatly exhausted, he will definitely not let this opportunity pass."
Qian Renxue pondered for a moment.
"He wants to reap the benefits without lifting a finger. Once the three of us appear to be severely weakened, he will inevitably appear, devour the souls of the dead on the battlefield, and may even try to take the opportunity to devour Di Tian or me."
Di Tian coldly said:
"He would want to devour you too?"
Qian Renxue said calmly:
"He might not dare to devour me head-on, but if I appear weak enough, he will definitely try."
Tang Chuan said:
"This is the opportunity."
Brigitte frowned and said:
"But what if Tang San doesn't come, and instead uses the time while you're setting up the beast tide to slaughter other cities?"
Tang Chuan raised his hand.
The leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor vibrated slightly.
"I will set up the Blue Silver Emperor Life Net in advance. The major cities of Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Spirit Empire will all be guarded with Blue Silver Grass and the power of the Sea God."
"I will immediately detect Tang San if he appears in those places."
"In addition, Qian Renxue's Angelic Light can set up a purification barrier in the area controlled by the Spirit Empire, while Di Tian can cause the spirit beasts on the outer edge of the Star Dou to shrink into groups."
"We won't give Tang San a chance to make a small-scale attack."
Di Tian nodded slowly.
"If all weaknesses are concealed, Tang San will have fewer targets to choose from."
"And the battlefield we deliberately set up will become the biggest piece of meat in his eyes."
Tang Chuan said:
"good."
"There will be the aura of ferocious beasts, an army of human soul masters, disguised battlefield dead, and me, you, and Qian Renxue pretending to be severely exhausted."
"Tang San will not let this go easily."
Xiong Jun sneered:
"If he really comes, I'll be the first to tear him apart."
Tang Chuan shook his head.
"Don't rush."
Xiong Jun's face darkened.
"You expect me to tolerate this again?"
Tang Chuan looked at it and said seriously:
"Tang San is now most adept at using your anger."
"He knows you have a short temper, and he also knows that you will definitely take action if you see a soul beast injured."
"This time, you're going to hide."
Xiong Jun was taken aback.
"Is this your doing?"
Tang Chuan nodded.
"You, the Crimson King, Zi Ji, and the King of Ten Thousand Demons are all hiding on the outskirts of the battlefield."
"Princess, stay near the Lake of Life and do not show yourself easily."
"Di Tian and Qian Renxue are fighting openly."
"I'm in charge of setting up the net."
"Once Tang San appears and enters the encirclement, you will block him from the outside."
"Di Tian used the Dragon God's Claw to sever the connection between the origin of the dead and the Rakshasa Altar."
"Qian Renxue used the holy light of angels to purify the souls of the dead."
"I used the Trident of Poseidon to suppress the Rakshasa Space to prevent Tang San from escaping."
A glint of light flashed in Di Tian's eyes.
"In other words, the key is not to kill him at the beginning, but to cut off his escape route first."
Tang Chuan said:
"right."
"The most difficult thing about Tang San is not his combat strength, but his ability to escape and resurrect the dead."
"As long as we can seal off the Rakshasa space and sever the altar from the vengeful spirit mark, he will lose his greatest advantage. Then, the three of us can join forces to kill him."
Qian Renxue said in a deep voice:
"Where is the Rakshasa Scythe?"
"That's a divine artifact after all."
Tang Chuan raised the Trident of Poseidon in his hand.
"I'll block it."
Qian Renxue glanced at him.
Are you sure?
Tang Chuan said calmly:
"The Trident of Poseidon is no weaker than the Rakshasa Scythe, and is more than enough to suppress his divine weapon."
Di Tian said:
"I can use the Dragon God Claw to forcibly break his altar illusion."
Tang Chuan nodded.
"Therefore, the key to this battle lies in timing."
"We can't let Tang San discover the trap beforehand."
"He must be made to believe that he discovered the opportunity himself."
Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:
"I can deliberately create a flaw."
Tang Chuan looked at her.
Qian Renxue said calmly:
"Tang San just launched a surprise attack on my rear city, forcing me to hunt him down."
"If he later finds out that I was forced to deal with pressure from both humans and soul beasts at the same time because of the massacre in the rear and the outbreak of the Star Dou Beast Tide, he will believe that I lost my mind."
"I will have the Spirit Empire's frontline deliberately spread the news that the Angel God was injured after a great battle with the Beast God Di Tian. At the same time, I will have part of the Spirit Empire's army feign a retreat."
"Tang San will definitely think this is the best opportunity to weaken me." (End of Chapter)
