Douluo Dalu: Qian Renxue's Younger Brother

"Teacher!"

Tang San was shocked.

He looked at Yu Xiaogang's pale face, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

The three arrows fired from his wrist-mounted crossbow had done terrible damage.

Two arrows had pierced through Yu Xiaogang's ears, spinning as if they were about to tear his ears apart.

Another arrow had lodged directly into his right eye, still slowly driving deeper.

Blood was everywhere, and all around were the anguished cries of agony.

"My eye, my ears!"

Yu Xiaogang clutched his face, rolling on the ground in pain.

At the same time, a drop of multicolored venom had slipped into his mouth.

The pain in his ears and eyes masked the numbness spreading across his tongue as the poison began to spread inside him.

"Ahh!"

Seeing his teacher in such a miserable state, Tang San experienced, for the first time, the true dangers faced by a soul master.

"Teacher!"

Tang San rushed forward to check Yu Xiaogang's injuries, but suddenly, he sensed a wind from behind.

Hiss—!

A Mandala Snake lunged at Tang San, with its jaws wide open to bite him.

—

In the Blue Silver Domain, Qian Renjue stared intently in Yu Xiaogang's direction.

His pupils glowed white, yet a bloodthirsty red light lingered in his eyes.

The arrows that hit Yu Xiaogang were Qian Renjue's doing, the result of him using his full psychic power.

Qian Renjue's golden hair shimmered with silver light, and cold energy radiated from his body.

Ling Yuan and Xiao Wu stood frozen in fear, even Ah Yin subconsciously pulled away from Qian Renjue's embrace.

Dugu Bo, watching Yu Xiaogang and his disciple, showed only pity.

He glanced at the drop of venom still floating in front of Qian Renjue and remained vigilant.

For now, the bloodlust in Qian Renjue's eyes subsided.

—

The attack from the wrist crossbow had completely enraged the Mandala Snake.

Its dark green scales lit up, and a faint yellow glow covered its body as it sped up significantly.

In a flash, it arrived upon Tang San.

Yu Xiaogang, who had already been flung several meters away by Tang San , was now irrelevant.

Everything happened in an instant, and Tang San had to first deal with the imminent threat of the Mandala Snake. If he didn't, neither he nor his teacher would survive.

Oddly, his teacher's injury wasn't all bad news.

At least now, he could use the Tang Sect's secret skills without hesitation, no longer worried about exposing himself or needing to explain later.

At the crucial moment, Tang San's mind became extremely calm. Channeling his Mysterious Heaven Skill throughout his body, he faced the charging Mandala Snake without the slightest panic.

With a quick flip of his right hand, the short sword given by Yu Xiaogang appeared in his grasp.

Tang San knew his advantage. As the snake's head came down, he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to sidestep three feet away, evading the strike.

He knew he only had one chance. If he failed, it would mean death.

In a decisive move, Tang San poured all his soul power into his hands.

Blue light flashed in his palms as he used Controlling Crane, Capturing Dragon.

His body shifted again under the effect of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

The Mandala Snake felt a suction force pulling it, causing its head to twist uncontrollably, its jaws gaping as it prepared to snap shut.

Suddenly, a blue light appeared as if from nowhere, waiting for the moment the snake's head turned—just as its jaws were about to close.

Thud—!

The four-meter-long snake's body stiffened in an instant. Tang San's short sword had completely pierced into the snake's mouth.

—

Dugu Bo and Ling Yuan were both astonished by the speed, unable to believe that it came from a soul master of Tang San's level.

Qian Renjue, however, remained unmoved, his expression unchanged.

His white, blood-tinged eyes surged with soul power, and his psychic energy formed a massive hand that slammed down on the Mandala Snake's head.

—

Tang San suddenly felt a powerful force coming from above, his face turning pale as his soul nearly left his body. His young frame was already pushed to the limits, so he was already exhausted.

He could only watch as the snake's jaws snapped shut.

"Ahh!"

The snake's venomous fangs pierced Tang San's fragile arm, and the excruciating pain made him scream.

At that moment, a colorful dewdrop fell from either the sky or a branch above, landing directly in Tang San's mouth.

"Beast! Get away!"

With a fierce but hollow shout, Tang San kicked the snake and used the force to roll away with his short sword, distancing himself.

Remembering the Mandala Snake's neurotoxin, Tang San wasted no time.

He tore off his sleeve and tightly bound his upper arm, then quickly cut into the crook of his elbow to release the poison.

Hiss—!

Looking up, Tang San saw the Mandala Snake writhing violently, sending sand and stones flying all around.

Its massive, hard body swept through the surrounding bushes and small trees, as if a tornado had passed through. Leaves and branches were shredded and scattered.

Knowing the nature of snakes, Tang San wouldn't recklessly approach.

"Teacher,"

Tang San dragged his weakened body toward Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiao San, quick, get me out of here!"

Yu Xiaogang, feeling the grim specter of death, was desperate to escape.

Arrows had fallen from his ears, leaving them split into four pieces. An arrow still lodged in his right eye, making his appearance utterly tragic.

"Quick, Xiao San, run!"

Yu Xiaogang grabbed Tang San, his voice frantic, as if clinging to his last hope.

Tang San, enduring his inner emptiness, forced an explanation.

"Teacher, listen! I stabbed the Mandala Snake. It's in its death struggle and will die soon!"

"Really? Is it true?"

Yu Xiaogang, his fear momentarily forgotten, opened his left eye cautiously and saw the Mandala Snake still writhing in its final struggle.

"Hahaha..."

Yu Xiaogang laughed wildly, almost manically.

"Hahaha! I won't die here! I won't die! Xiao San, quickly! Kill it! That's your soul ring! Kill it now!"

Yu Xiaogang's face twisted in a ghastly grin, ignoring his weakening body and the swelling in his lower half.

"But teacher, my martial spirit is a plant, right?"

Tang San hesitated, unsure if Yu Xiaogang was acting out of desperation.

"It'll work, it'll work! Trust my theory!"

Yu Xiaogang explained through his pain.

…

In the Blue Silver Domain, Qian Renjue watched the Mandala Snake's final struggle and softly ordered:

"Ah Yin, save him."

Ah Yin paused for a moment, then smiled sweetly and nodded. Her voice was soft and obedient.

"Yes, my master~"

Even though she served Qian Renjue, she hadn't forgotten that she was still the Emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan.

Xiao Wu felt the same, watching Qian Renjue with gentle, joyful eyes, giggling quietly.

Ling Yuan, taking an uncharacteristic risk, boldly held Qian Renjue's warm hand.

The Holy Son was still the Holy Son, always kind.
