Chapter 109 The Crimson King, Neither Inside Nor Outside! Tang Hao Seriously Injured?
Soto, on a slightly dilapidated street.
The gale whipped up gravel and dust, howling across the land.
Seeing the Imperial Beast standing shoulder to shoulder with a human, even pointing its golden dragon spear at him, the Crimson King's resolute face instantly darkened. Anger surged within him, but he forcefully suppressed it. His eyes flashed with crimson light as he transmitted his voice in a deep voice:
"Auspicious beast, what do you mean by this? You actually want to be my enemy for the sake of a human?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruier frowned slightly and replied through soul power, "He is my friend. Please, Uncle Red King, do not make things difficult for him."
Upon hearing this, the Crimson King's expression changed drastically. His chest heaved, and he could no longer suppress his anger. His voice transmission carried a hint of a roar:
"Auspicious Beast, have you forgotten? This brat attacked you back in the Star Dou Great Forest! As the Emperor Auspicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, how can you befriend a human? This is a betrayal of the entire Soul Beast race!"
"This is my own choice, and I don't need you to interfere." Xiao Ruier's eyes flickered slightly, but the golden dragon spear in her hand remained firmly in her hand as she coldly transmitted her voice.
"Absurd!" The Crimson King's eyes suddenly flashed with rage, and a crimson aura emanated from his body, seemingly distorting the very air around him. He coldly declared:
"You bear the destiny of the entire Star Dou Great Forest! If anything were to happen to you, have you ever considered the future of the countless soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest? Di Tian already knows that you secretly left the Star Dou Great Forest, and he specifically sent me to bring you back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, crimson flames surged around the Crimson King, and an oppressive aura instantly enveloped him, like an unshakeable fiery mountain that made people's hearts tremble.
"No, I won't go back. Life in the Star Dou Great Forest is too monotonous and lonely. I don't want to live like that anymore. If you insist on taking me back now, then take my corpse with you!"
After a moment of silence, Xiao Ruier shook her head, pointed the golden dragon spear forward again, her eyes as firm as stars, and replied in a cold and resolute voice.
The next second, she abruptly put away her gun, grabbed Tang Chuan's hand tightly with her other hand, and then turned around without hesitation, walking straight towards the other end of the ruins.
Xiao Ruier did not pause in her steps.
It was as if no force in this world could stop her.
"You auspicious beast—!"
Looking at the scene before me.
The Crimson King was instantly enraged, his face turning red with fury. His long, fiery hair danced wildly with his anger, his massive body trembled slightly, and the firelight in his eyes flickered wildly, yet it failed to transform into real flames.
He knew it very well.
Auspicious beasts are of paramount importance to the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
If he were to die unexpectedly in protest against his own death due to his coercion, the Emperor would surely be furious.
The consequences would be something that even the Crimson King alone could not bear.
The Crimson King gritted his teeth in rage, a surge of anger burning within him, threatening to erupt at any moment. He silently cursed inwardly:
"Damn it! What do you mean by this? In the end, I'm caught in the middle!"
"If I push you too hard and you try to kill yourself, Di Tian will surely punish me. But if I don't take you back, Di Tian will definitely..."
His eyes were fixed on Xiao Ruier and Tang Chuan's tightly clasped hands.
The Crimson King wished he could tear Tang Chuan to pieces with a single claw.
But in the end, he took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the impulse.
"Never mind..."
"In that case, I'll continue to secretly protect you, just like I did in the Star Dou Great Forest. That way, even if Di Tian investigates, I'll have a good explanation."
.........
the other side.
Xiao Ruier pulled Tang Chuan along quickly until they were far out of the Crimson King's sight.
She then gradually slowed down her pace.
At this moment, her breathing was slightly rapid, but her eyes remained cold and indifferent.
Tang Chuan remained calm, with a faint smile playing on his lips.
Just then, he turned his head slightly and asked in a casual tone, "Rui'er, who is that red-haired giant to you? Why did you call him uncle?"
Tang Chuan's voice was filled with doubt and curiosity. On the surface, he seemed to know nothing, but in his heart, he had already guessed the true identity of the red-haired giant.
With red hair and a strong fire-attribute aura, the auspicious beast called the other party "uncle".
Who else could it be but the Red King?
"He's a member of my family, a distant uncle."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruier paused slightly, a complex look flashing in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself and spoke softly.
Tang Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, but he didn't point it out. He continued to feign ignorance, sighed, and said:
"He seems incredibly strong. But why did he suddenly attack me? If I hadn't reacted quickly, I'd probably be dead by now."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruier's face darkened abruptly, a flash of guilt and anger crossing her eyes. She gripped Tang Chuan's arm tightly and whispered:
"I ran away from home this time without telling my family."
"My uncle came to our door and saw me with you. He thought you were some kind of bad guy, which is why he suddenly attacked. Tang Chuan, I'm sorry."
In conclusion.
Her voice gradually lowered, carrying a hint of guilt and helplessness.
My fingers gripped even tighter, as if only in this way could I find peace of mind.
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan's expression remained unchanged; he merely smiled slightly and said in a calm tone:
"It's alright, ignorance is no excuse, right? In that case, let's just consider it a misunderstanding."
As he spoke, he looked up at the street ahead.
After a brief pause, he continued:
"Let's go back and see if Teacher Qin and the others are there. If they're not, they've probably already left the city. Then we should set off immediately back to Tiandou City."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruier felt a sense of relief, and the tension between her brows slowly dissipated.
"it is good."
She pursed her lips, then nodded slightly.
.........
Outside Tiandou City, in a quiet, dense forest, the night wind howled and the branches and leaves rustled.
Suddenly, two blinding beams of light, one purple and one gold, flashed across the sky and crashed down with overwhelming pressure, slamming heavily onto the forest clearing.
Instantly, fallen leaves fluttered down, withered branches rustled down, and dust swirled.
As the light faded, two figures appeared.
The former, dressed in a magnificent purple-gold robe and wearing a crown, was none other than Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall. Accompanying her was Chrysanthemum Douluo, clad in golden armor.
Chrysanthemum Douluo strode forward, bent one knee slightly, squatted down, and gently touched the mottled purple bloodstain on the ground with his right hand.
"Your Holiness, it seems Tang Hao has escaped... Damn it!"
He raised his palm, stared at it for a moment, then turned around, his voice tinged with resentment.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong did not show any anger. Instead, she smiled slightly, a cold arc forming at the corners of her mouth, and said:
"So what if they escaped?"
"Tang Hao's left arm has been poisoned by my Death Spider King's deadly venom."
"If no one helps him detoxify, he will either die from the poison or lose an arm or a limb. At that time, his strength will be greatly reduced, and even if he survives, he will hardly be able to cause any more trouble."
