Chapter 182: Meng Shu's Greed for Soul Bones, Su Yun Captured?
"Haotian Douluo, with your current condition, it might be a bit of a stretch to catch up with Su Yun from the Spirit Hall."
"Please take care of my granddaughter for me first. I will use all my power to stop him, and then we can join forces to trap him from both ends."
Meng Shu's words resonated in Tang Hao's ears. Although he was furious that he couldn't catch up with Su Yun himself, he could only suppress that frustration and anger, not showing it outwardly. If it were a month ago, he probably would have already used his unique skills to stop Su Yun.
Unfortunately, he was just recovering and his body couldn't endure too vigorous movements.
"It's troubling you, Senior Dragon Lord." Tang Hao put away the Clear Sky Hammer and took Meng Yiran from Meng Shu with one hand.
Being held in Tang Hao's strong arms, Meng Yiran couldn't help but blush, the robust scent of a real man causing her heart to flutter.
After leaving Meng Yiran behind, Meng Shu was no longer restrained and directly went full throttle towards the direction where Su Yun was heading!
At the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Su Yun kept up his speed, continuously pushing forward.
Fortunately, the small town was not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, and it took Su Yun only a little time to reach the outskirts.
But Su Yun was aware that just being at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest wouldn't stop Meng Shu and Tang Hao from pursuing him.
He had to enter deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.
"These two are trying to use me to constrain the Spirit Hall." Su Yun thought, "Regardless of whether the Spirit Hall changes its plans for the two empires and the seven great sects because of me, I can't let them capture me."
Su Yun realized that if Tang Hao caught him, he would surely be imprisoned until the day he was to duel with Tang San.
Tang Hao and Tang San have long coveted his Blue Silver Emperor soul, after all.
"Whoosh!"
As he pondered, a sharp wind whistled past his ears.
Su Yun noticed something was wrong with the wind behind him, and his expression changed slightly.
Racing along, Su Yun, while speeding towards the deeper parts of the Star Dou Great Forest, also assimilated the surrounding blue silver grass to provide him with information.
He had managed to shake off Tang Hao, mostly out of luck, given the latter was missing a leg.
But if Meng Shu fully pursued him, it wouldn't be long before he would be caught.
"Although I don't want to expose the power of the soul bone, now I must use it." Su Yun didn't hesitate any longer and activated the soul bone ability he had hidden for a long time.
Ever since obtaining Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, Su Yun had never used the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone's flying ability in front of anyone from the Spirit Hall.
After all, such a rare item as a soul bone, once exposed, could be difficult to explain, so he had always secretly nurtured it at night, not easily displaying it in front of others.
But with the situation being dire, he couldn't hold back any longer.
"Fly!" Su Yun uttered lowly, and the next second he felt his body lighten significantly, resistance greatly reduced, and he soared into the air like a bird.
Light as a feather!
That was Su Yun's first impression.
Pleasantly surprised, Su Yun didn't dwell on it any longer and immediately, like a swift swallow, dashed deeper into the forest.
Not long after Su Yun disappeared, Meng Shu's figure appeared where Su Yun had just vanished.
Meng Shu's expression was quite grim.
"Damn it, why is this kid's speed so extraordinary?"
Noticing that the traces of Su Yun's soul power seemed to have faded a lot, Meng Shu was certain Su Yun had sped up again.
"Haotian Douluo said that this kid's soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, not an agility-type soul master. How could he suddenly increase his speed so much?"
Suddenly, Meng Shu thought of a possibility, and his breathing became rapid: "Could it be that the Spirit Hall has given Su Yun a soul bone that contains a speed-boosting soul skill?"
Thinking of this possibility, Meng Shu felt that the reason for Su Yun's sudden increase in speed made sense.
Meng Shu's eyes immediately became fervent.
If Su Yun really had such a soul bone, then he would do whatever it takes to get it from him.
Seemingly ignited by desire, Dragon Lord Meng Shu's pace quickened even more, and the aura of a Soul Douluo exploded in the forest, chasing after Su Yun like a rocket.
Ahead, Su Yun, with the power of the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone and the evolution of his soul, was advancing through the middle regions of the Star Dou Great Forest with almost no soul power consumption.
He had thought that his current speed was enough to escape Meng Shu's pursuit.
However, a stream of information suddenly flashed through Su Yun's mind.
"Not good, Sister Yin, someone is catching up." After receiving information from the blue silver grass within the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Yun's expression quickly changed.
"If they can catch up to me, it seems that Meng Shu must have unleashed all his power."
Being a Soul Douluo, Meng Shu's pursuit was relentless, forcing Su Yun to consider his next moves even as he maintained his speed.
Ah Yin calmly replied, "Don't panic. The one chasing you is that old man called Dragon Lord Meng Shu. As long as it's not Tang Hao, who has an attack power beyond others, you still have a chance."
"Little Su Yun, this is your home ground now. As long as you seize the opportunity, it's still possible to escape from that old man."
"Don't forget, the Star Dou Great Forest is filled with your Blue Silver Grass."
Su Yun nodded slightly, about to respond, when a familiar voice suddenly rose from behind.
"Young friend Su Yun, why not stop and have a chat? I assure you, I have much to discuss."
Meng Shu's voice sent a shiver down Su Yun's spine, and turning his head, he saw that Meng Shu had already appeared within his line of sight.
Meng Shu, too, was surprised to see that Su Yun, with the strength of a Soul King, was capable of flying, a feat he hadn't anticipated.
"This Su Yun indeed possesses a soul bone, or he wouldn't have been able to fly, a feat only Title Douluos can achieve." Meng Shu's greed for Su Yun's soul bone intensified, and unable to wait any longer, he took a powerful step forward, instantly closing the distance between him and Su Yun.
"Stay behind!"
"Third soul skill, Dragon's Tongue!"
Feeling he was close enough to Su Yun, Meng Shu manifested his dragon-headed cane soul weapon, pointing it directly at Su Yun.
With a shout, the cane extended rapidly, aiming a powerful strike at Su Yun's back.
This attack, filled with the powerful soul force of a Soul Douluo, would surely injure even a Soul Saint if it hit.
Unperturbed, Su Yun clasped his hands together.
"First soul skill, Blue Silver Flying Leaves!"
"Second soul skill, Blue Silver Forest!"
In the next second, countless flying leaves shot out from the trees around Meng Shu, turning into deadly projectiles aiming to slice Meng Shu into pieces.
Meng Shu sneered at the attack, "Trivial tricks!"
Boom!
With a stomp, a terrifying aura dispersed the flying leaves with a wave of soul force.
However, just as his Dragon's Tongue was about to hit Su Yun's back, a golden sea rose from the ground, forming barriers behind Su Yun.
The dragon-headed cane, like a giant hammer, smashed through the barriers of Blue Silver Emperor trees Su Yun had created, but when it reached the last layer, the third soul skill had already reached its limit.
Dragon Lord Meng Shu hadn't expected Su Yun to block his attack in such a manner.
"Too bad, I have eight soul skills, and you only have five." Meng Shu sneered, sidestepping to pursue Su Yun again.
However, as Meng Shu passed the destroyed Blue Silver Emperor trees, they suddenly exploded into countless flying leaves again!
Swish, swish, swish!
"How annoying," Meng Shu released another wave of soul force, scattering them, and then continued his pursuit of Su Yun.
As they progressed, the distance between Su Yun and Meng Shu was rapidly closing. Su Yun knew he couldn't hold off Meng Shu for long.
Luckily, he was nearing the deeper parts of the Star Dou Great Forest, where thousand-year soul beasts were common. If he could attract their attention, he could hide using the Blue Silver Emperor's assimilation and the camouflage effect of the Blue Silver Domain.
"You can't escape, young friend Su Yun!"
Suddenly, Meng Shu's voice sounded above Su Yun!
Previously, Meng Shu accidentally touched one of Su Yun's Blue Silver Flying Leaves and was surprisingly slowed by fifty percent for three seconds.
He immediately realized Su Yun was a control type soul master.
To avoid Su Yun's annoying Blue Silver Flying Leaves attack, Meng Shu had no choice but to move to the top of the Star Dou Great Forest.
After some time, he finally caught up with Su Yun.
"Sixth soul skill, Staff Dragon Dance!"
Meng Shu swung his cane forcefully, and in an instant, he transformed into a swift dragon, his speed drastically increased, and he struck down at Su Yun!
Sensing the imminent danger, Su Yun immediately commanded, "Fifth soul skill, Blue Silver Tyrant Spear!"
The next second, a terrifying golden spear formed in front of Su Yun! This was the only attack soul skill his Blue Silver Emperor soul possessed!
"Go!"
With a powerful push at the base of the spear, the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear shot towards Meng Shu like a dragon crossing the river!
Meng Shu's eyes narrowed, his soul power erupted, reducing the momentum of the Blue Silver Tyrant Spear by a third, then swung his cane!
Directly turning the golden spear into dust.
Such was the terrifying strike of a Soul Douluo!
"Ha ha ha, young friend Su Yun, I still wish to have a chat with you, don't leave, stay for me."
Seeing his attack easily broken by himself, Meng Shu laughed heartily, closing the distance behind Su Yun in a few breaths, and struck down with his cane!
This strike, even if it didn't kill Su Yun, would leave him severely injured or in a coma!
Bang!
Meng Shu struck down mercilessly!
However...
"Bang!"
Seeing the scene unfold before him, Meng Shu's expression darkened.
He saw that the Su Yun he thought he had split in two had turned into two wooden stakes.
And Su Yun's true form had suddenly appeared a hundred meters away!
This was Su Yun's third soul skill.
