323: Chapter 323 Brotherhood, Choosing Erlong

Wang Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong ran wildly all the way.

When they arrived at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,

the tragic scene before them completely shattered all their illusions.

Ruined walls, corpses everywhere, and those familiar yet eyesore Spirit Hall uniforms all spoke of the fact that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been exterminated.

“No!”

Yu Xiaogang let out a heart-wrenching cry.

Watching the Sect that raised him turn into a living hell, the anger and sorrow in his heart completely exploded.

Although he had been expelled from the Family, he had never forgotten them.

Everything he did was to prove his ability to his clansmen,

so that one day he could return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with dignity.

Now it was gone!

Everything was gone!

“Spirit Hall, Spirit Hall!”

Liu Erlong's fury was written all over her face, her Soul Power surging as the Fire Dragon Spirit instantly possessed her body.

Dragon scales covered her body, and before Flender could even react, she charged toward the Spirit Hall Spirit Masters stationed ahead; Flender had no choice but to follow and protect her.

“You executioners, I will kill you!”

“You're looking for death!”

The people from Spirit Hall reacted immediately, engaging in a struggle with the two Spirit Saint powerhouses.

Sensing the fluctuations of Soul Power, surrounding Spirit Hall Spirit Masters quickly moved to support.

A sharp wave of Soul Power suddenly struck.

Spirit Kite Douluo flashed and appeared before Liu Erlong, a mocking smile curling at the corner of her mouth.

The moment her nine spirit rings rose, a majestic Soul Power firmly locked down Liu Erlong's body, leaving her unable to move; no matter how she struggled, she could not break free from those powerful Soul Power shackles.

Liu Erlong's eyes nearly split from rage as she roared frantically, yet she was held firmly, unable to even get close to her opponent.

“Seventh Spirit Skill!”

Seeing his goddess being controlled, Flender directly unleashed his Martial Soul True Body and charged in.

Several Cardinals looked at each other and attacked him in unison.

In an instant, the sounds of Spirit Ability collisions rang out all around.

Seeing that the opponent was an Elder, Yu Xiaogang spoke with a hint of forced confidence: “Stop! I am Yu Xiaogang. I have a long-standing relationship with Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong. Release her immediately.”

Yu Xiaogang turned to the surrounding Spirit Hall Spirit Masters, his voice full of rebuke: “Spirit Hall's actions this time are far too cruel and inhumane. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is one of the Upper Three Sects. For you to exterminate them without cause, are you not afraid of being reviled by the Spirit Masters of the continent?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and indifferent voice slowly drifted down from atop the ruins.

“Reviled? Who are you to think you're worthy of rebuking Spirit Hall?”

Everyone looked up to see Su Wen standing at the peak of the ruins, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Su Wen was very satisfied with the harvest this time; although there were casualties, they were less than a quarter of the original timeline.

They had conducted a thorough looting of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's treasury.

Besides thousands upon thousands of gold coins, they had also scavenged three or four Spirit Bones from the entire Sect.

This included several hundred captive lightning-attribute Spirit Beasts.

“Holy Son of Spirit Hall!”

Yu Xiaogang looked at Su Wen, his brow furrowed: “Su Wen, do you know what you are doing? I will tell Bibi Dong to make you...”

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Wen's eyes suddenly turned cold. Without the slightest hesitation, he appeared before him in a flash and slapped Yu Xiaogang hard across the face.

“Slap!”

The crisp sound of the slap echoed; the force was so great it sent Yu Xiaogang flying.

Yu Xiaogang wailed as his body slammed heavily against a broken wall. Blood instantly leaked from the corner of his mouth, and half of his cheek swelled up high, leaving him in a wretched state.

Su Wen said, “A piece of trash like you, how dare you call the Supreme Pontiff by her name?”

Liu Erlong was pinned in place by Soul Power, forced to watch as Yu Xiaogang was beaten and her Sect was destroyed. Powerless to do anything, her tears of despair completely broke through, leaving only endless grief, indignation, and helplessness in her eyes.

“Xiaogang!”

Flender was also anxious, but a Cardinal found an opening and struck him to the ground.

Just then, more Spirit Hall members arrived from a distance.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were among them.

When the two saw Yu Xiaogang, their expressions were a complex mix of fascination and complication.

Yu Xiaogang lay on the ground in agonizing pain. Looking at the intimidating Su Wen before him and the predatory Spirit Hall Spirit Masters all around, he still maintained his arrogant attitude.

“I want to see Bibi Dong. Su Wen, I want to see Bibi Dong immediately.”

“Yu Xiaogang, if you bark again, I won't mind cutting you down.”

“You wouldn't dare!”

“A Xie!”

“Ah!”

The moment A Xie appeared,

she stepped directly on Yu Xiaogang's face.

With a light kick,

Yu Xiaogang rolled over a dozen times on the ground.

“You... dammit, let Xiaogang go!”

Liu Erlong's eyes were blood-red.

Like a Female Tyrannosaurus, she kept letting out roars.

Ye Yuaner grew annoyed listening to her and went up to slap her, leaving her dizzy and dazed.

Yu Xiaogang lay on the ground, his hands clutching the dirt, his face filled with humiliation.

“Su Wen, you will regret treating us like this.”

“Regret? Hahaha, I'm truly terrified.”

“How about this, let's play a game. I won't kill you yet. I've heard that the bonds of your Golden Triangle are very strong, but I want to know which one you, Yu Xiaogang, care about more?”

“Choose one of the two to take away, and I'll kill the other in front of you. Or perhaps you all stay, and see if I'll slay every last one of you!”

Su Wen spoke nonchalantly, and Yu Xiaogang's entire body jolted, his face turning pale instantly.

He still hadn't given up, struggling and roaring as he brought up Bibi Dong again: “Su Wen, my relationship with Bibi Dong is not ordinary. You cannot do this to me, you wouldn't dare...”

A series of crisp, vicious slaps suddenly rang out one after another.

A Xie grabbed his collar, lifting him into the air as easily as a chick.

Her palms swung left and right.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Over a dozen slaps landed mercilessly on Yu Xiaogang's face with savage force. In an instant, his cheeks were highly swollen and red, and blood seeped from his lips.

Intense pain and humiliation swept through his entire body; Yu Xiaogang was beaten dizzy, his whole body trembling.

“One last chance.”

Su Wen's voice was bone-chillingly cold, a heavy pressure weighing down on the heads of the three:

“Mention Bibi Dong again, and the three of you can go to the afterlife together. Not one will be left.”

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang finally felt fear.

He had a premonition that this Holy Son of Spirit Hall really would kill him.

Yu Xiaogang lowered his head weakly, his gaze shifting with difficulty as he looked at Liu Erlong beside him, and then at his long-time close friend, Flender.

The three looked at each other, their emotions complex to the extreme.

Liu Erlong's eyes were full of bitterness and unease as she looked at Yu Xiaogang, remaining silent.

Flender knew in his heart that the feelings he had hidden for many years were always for Liu Erlong. Even if he couldn't be with her, he didn't want anything to happen to her.

He forced a calm expression and took the initiative to speak, his voice raspy yet open:

“Xiaogang, choose Erlong. We are brothers for life; I won't blame you. As long as you and Erlong are safe, I will have no regrets in this life.”
