Chapter 142: Reunion with Xiao Wu
"Ghost tree's youthful Baijang, the cuckoo's cry through the noon shade. The peak of Yanping like a blade, the sword leaves the river empty, water ever flowing."
After reciting this poem, Sword Douluo unleashed a torrent of terrifying sword energy towards the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger, like the never-ending waters of the Yangtze River.
"Roar—"
Facing Sword Douluo's attack, the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger showed a strong desire to retreat again.
It had to leave.
However, leaving wasn't easy, and it was extremely anxious.
But the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger was very smart and had high intelligence.
After fighting for so long, it seemed like both opponents were giving it their all, but it also felt like they were holding back, afraid of truly killing it.
The Dark Devil Evil God Tiger's eyes flickered as it realized something.
"Roar—"
Then, layers of black energy surged from the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger, continuously blocking Sword Douluo's attacks.
At the same time, it completely hid its figure within the black mist.
From the outside, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo could see their attacks hitting the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger, but they couldn't see how injured it was inside.
"Truly troublesome!"
Seeing this, Sword Douluo couldn't help but frown.
In this situation, it was hard to gauge the strength of his attacks, fearing that if he killed it, Su Mo wouldn't be able to obtain the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger's soul ring.
Even so, as long as the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger couldn't escape, they would eventually take it down.
It just wouldn't be quick.
"Not good, there are other powerful soul beasts coming!"
A moment later, Sword Douluo's expression changed as he looked into the distance, his expression turning serious.
He sensed that the approaching soul beasts were very powerful.
They might even be hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
If these two powerful soul beasts chose to attack them, it would be trouble.
The Dark Devil Evil God Tiger could escape as a result.
"Su Mo, powerful soul beasts are coming!"
"They are the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts that accompany the little rabbit!"
At the same time, Su Mo received a notification from Bibi Dong.
Through Bibi Dong's vision, Su Mo saw Da Ming and Er Ming approaching in the distance, with a petite figure sitting on Da Ming's head—it was Xiao Wu.
"It's them..."
Realizing that it was Xiao Wu and her companions, Su Mo sighed in relief.
They definitely weren't coming to help the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger.
No soul beast would help the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger.
Da Ming and Er Ming already had a grudge with the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger.
They were probably coming to drive it away.
...
"Humans are fighting the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger!"
"Sister Xiao Wu..."
As Da Ming approached, he noticed the situation and became worried.
Only a titled Douluo could confront the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger, so Da Ming was concerned that if the humans saw Xiao Wu, they might attack her.
Their best option was to stay away.
While speaking, Da Ming stopped and watched from a distance, not getting closer.
They came to drive away the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger, but now that humans were dealing with it, they didn't need to intervene.
"It's Su Mo and Ning Rongrong!"
Xiao Wu, sitting on Da Ming's head, quickly spotted Su Mo and Ning Rongrong watching from afar, her eyes lighting up.
Then, she began looking around, searching for Tang San.
When Su Mo and Ning Rongrong left Shrek, Xiao Wu had already been rescued by Tang Hao from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Later, when Tang San met Xiao Wu and said goodbye, he didn't mention the unpleasant incident.
So, Xiao Wu didn't know that Su Mo and Ning Rongrong had left Shrek.
Seeing Su Mo and Ning Rongrong here, Xiao Wu naturally looked for Tang San first.
Unfortunately, Xiao Wu was disappointed. After searching around, she didn't see any other Shrek members besides Su Mo and Ning Rongrong.
Not seeing Tang San, Xiao Wu lost her urge to approach.
She wasn't sure how Su Mo and the others would react if her identity was exposed.
Moreover, there were two titled Douluo over there, posing a threat not only to her but also to Da Ming and Er Ming.
Without Tang San, Xiao Wu was cautious enough to be careful.
"Sister Xiao Wu, are they people you know?"
Da Ming, hearing Xiao Wu's words, became curious.
Were there titled Douluo who knew Xiao Wu and wouldn't harm her?
"Yes, but I only know two of them. They were my former classmates!"
Xiao Wu said.
"Oh, Sister Xiao Wu, you don't want to go over, do you?"
Da Ming said worriedly.
It seemed that Da Ming understood Xiao Wu's personality somewhat and knew she might want to go over.
"No, we'll stay here and watch!"
"Let's see the situation first!"
Xiao Wu shook her head and said with a smile.
"Alright, listening to Sister Xiao Wu!"
Da Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Xiao Wu, if you know them, why don't we go over?"
"With Da Ming and me helping, we can definitely eliminate the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger!"
"That kind of soul beast shouldn't be allowed to live!"
Hearing Da Ming and Xiao Wu's conversation, Er Ming was puzzled.
In his view, eliminating the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger was more important.
"Fool, how do you know those two titled Douluo won't attack us?"
"Besides, Sister Xiao Wu is here!"
Da Ming scolded Er Ming. "We'll stay here and watch. Unless something unexpected happens, the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger won't escape. The two human titled Douluo will eliminate it!"
"Oh..."
Er Ming shrunk back and didn't say anything more.
...
Boom—
Boom—
"Roar—"
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, noticing the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts watching from a distance and not attacking, breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, they could focus on dealing with the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger.
"Rongrong, I saw Xiao Wu!"
Seeing that Xiao Wu and her companions didn't come closer, Su Mo turned and told Ning Rongrong.
He knew Ning Rongrong had been worried about Xiao Wu and wanted to know her fate after being captured.
Now that he saw Xiao Wu, Su Mo naturally told Ning Rongrong to ease her worries.
"Really? Where is Xiao Wu?"
Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Su Mo's words.
"Behind us, on the head of that hundred-thousand-year soul beast..."
Su Mo gestured behind Ning Rongrong.
Turning around, Ning Rongrong saw a gigantic figure in the distance.
Although she could only see its head from afar, she could imagine how enormous it was.
"It's really Xiao Wu!"
"That's great, Xiao Wu is safe!"
Ning Rongrong was initially struck by the sight of Da Ming and then noticed Xiao Wu, becoming instantly delighted.
"Is that... a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"
Ye Lingling, also astonished, looked behind and couldn't believe they encountered a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
She also saw Xiao Wu.
Ye Lingling knew Xiao Wu because the Shrek team, including Xiao Wu, had defeated their Heaven Dou Imperial Battle Team. This was her first time seeing Xiao Wu's appearance.
"They're not coming closer, so we don't need to worry!"
"They are probably here to drive away the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger. After all, the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger poses a great threat to both humans and soul beasts!"
Su Mo reassured the two girls.
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling relaxed.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Roar—
Su Mo and the others continued watching the battlefield while Xiao Wu and her companions watched from farther away.
Under the continuous attacks from Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, the Evil God's Guard, or the black mist surrounding the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger, gradually dissipated.
Until the black mist was completely destroyed, the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger couldn't find an opportunity to escape.
"Rohsha, keep an eye on the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger. It will try to secretly send away a bead when it is about to fall. That's the most precious thing on the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger!"
Seeing the situation, Su Mo quickly reminded Bibi Dong.
In Su Mo's view, the bead on the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger was the most valuable.
The birth of the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger was closely tied to it. The existence of that bead prevented the extinction of the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger.
As long as a tiger soul beast obtained the bead, a new Dark Devil Evil God Tiger would reappear.
In the original story, after Tang San killed the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger, the bead disappeared.
Unfortunately, it seemed to have bad luck and ended up in the world of Heavenly Jewel Change, absorbed by the protagonist, Zhou Weiqing.
A bead with the ability to traverse worlds was something Su Mo couldn't let slip away.
Su Mo believed that obtaining the bead would greatly enhance his own space-time abilities.
"Got it!"
Bibi Dong responded quickly.
She was also surprised that the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger had other treasures.
Buzz—
Sure enough, not long after, as the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger realized it couldn't escape, a thumb-sized bead quietly emerged from its body during one of Sword Douluo's attacks.
The bead vanished with a ripple in the void, fell dozens of meters away, and rolled further.
Due to its small size, neither Sword Douluo nor Bone Douluo noticed it.
Only Bibi Dong, who had been watching closely, spotted it.
Swish—
Seeing through Bibi Dong's vision, Su Mo's figure flashed, and his spear pierced through the void, appearing before the bead.
Whish—
Sensing Su Mo's approach, the bead accelerated and tried to escape.
Swish—
Su Mo chased after it.
Despite its impressive abilities, the bead found it hard to escape once discovered by Su Mo.
In a moment, Su Mo grasped the dark, eerie bead.
"Roar—"
The distant Dark Devil Evil God Tiger roared in anger, having realized its bead was intercepted by Su Mo.
However, weakened and enraged, the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger could do nothing as Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo struck it down. Its massive body fell heavily to the ground.
Thunk, thunk, thunk—
Bone Douluo summoned huge bones to pin the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger to the ground.
"Su Mo, come quickly!"
Bone Douluo called to Su Mo after restraining the barely alive Dark Devil Evil God Tiger.
"Coming!"
Su Mo put away the bead and rushed to the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger.
"Roar—"
Seeing Su Mo, the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger let out a final roar, struggling to attack Su Mo.
Thunk—
Su Mo snorted coldly and thrust his Hunter Spear into the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger's head, finishing it off.
"Finally, it's done. This Dark Devil Evil God Tiger was so difficult to handle. If it were just me, I wouldn't be a match for it!"
Bone Douluo sighed in relief, his voice tinged with lingering fear.
He hadn't expected a thirty-thousand-year-old soul beast to be so powerful.
"Indeed, very strong. Truly worthy of being the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger!"
Sword Douluo put away his Seven Kill Sword, exclaiming in amazement.
He looked at Su Mo and asked worriedly, "How about it? Confident you can absorb its soul ring?"
Sword Douluo was genuinely concerned that Su Mo might not be able to handle the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger's soul ring.
"No worries, Grandpa Sword. I can handle it!"
Su Mo smiled. He had just asked Bibi Dong, who assured him it wouldn't be a problem.
Especially since the bead had escaped, weakening the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger significantly.
Buzz—
As Su Mo spoke, a black soul ring emerged from the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger's body.
"No problem, Su Mo, you can absorb it!"
Seeing this, Bibi Dong reassured Su Mo.
"Sister Xiao Wu, we should leave!"
Seeing the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger killed, Da Ming was happy and quickly spoke to Xiao Wu.
"Yes, let's go!"
Xiao Wu knew it was time to leave. She had no intention of reuniting with Su Mo and Ning Rongrong.
If the two titled Douluo weren't there, she might have approached. But with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo present, she decided against it.
"Alright, Er Ming, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Da Ming quickly spoke to Er Ming, and they turned to leave.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo noticed but didn't stop them.
Not only because they sensed Da Ming and Er Ming's strength but also because they had just fought the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger and were exhausted.
With Su Mo and the others around, an unexpected battle could be difficult to handle.
So, they let the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts leave.
Su Mo didn't mind; he focused on absorbing the Dark Devil Evil God Tiger's soul ring.
Only Ning Rongrong felt a bit disappointed and sad to see Xiao Wu leave without a word.
