Tang San's plan was simple.
Based on the strength Li Yu had demonstrated, it was clear that her power far surpassed the typical level of a regular Soul Sovereign.
And with Dai Mubai missing from the team, it seemed like only one person was missing.
But in reality, what was missing was a martial soul fusion skill!
In Tang San's view, with his [White Tiger], he had the ability to at least give Li Yu a challenge.
But right now,
His face was filled with anger, but his heart was sneering.
Just a little more time, and the poison he had mixed into the crossbow bolts would take effect!
At that point, Li Yu would learn what it meant to be outclassed!
And then, he would naturally get the secret of how Li Yu could absorb soul rings beyond the ordinary.
Once he had the secret, there would be no more need to deceive someone like Yu Xiaogang, who had no cultivation or talent to offer any valuable insights.
As for the other members of the Shrek Seven Monsters,
If they were willing to follow his orders, telling them the secret would be no problem.
After all, in this other world, he still planned to rebuild the Tang Sect, and these people had great potential to help.
But if they betrayed him...
Haha, he hated betrayal the most!
Tang San was already thinking about the events after he obtained the secret of Li Yu soul ring, and failure was not an option in his mind.
He had absolute confidence in Tang Sect's hidden weapons and poisons.
Even if something went wrong, he still had Blue Silver Grass, the Eight Spider Spears, and if necessary, he was willing to reveal [Clear Sky Hammer] to secure the secret of the soul ring.
"What's wrong?"
Suddenly, Tang San furrowed his brows.
His gaze was locked on Li Yu inside the water bubble, hoping to see pain or panic on her face.
But there was nothing.
Li Yu smiled faintly at Tang San and lightly spoke, "What are you waiting for?"
"No, this can't be possible!"
Tang San's heart finally showed a hint of panic. The Tang Sect's poison could never fail!
"Did I make a mistake, maybe the crossbow bolts weren't poisoned?"
Tang San had this fleeting thought, but he quickly suppressed it.
He knew that, given his caution, such a mistake was impossible.
So, the only answer was:
"Do you also specialize in poison?"
Tang San's voice became hoarse.
"Heh."
Li Yu gave a disdainful smile. "With this trash you've made, I don't need to specialize."
Li Yu had 60% affinity with poison elements, so the poison mixed into Tang San's crossbow bolts didn't pose any threat to him. Calling it trash was hardly an exaggeration.
In fact, he hadn't even paid attention to whether Tang San's crossbow bolts were poisoned or not.
When the poison touched the "Pure Water Guard", [Ying Yu] immediately sensed it, and [The Tooth of Absorption] absorbed the toxins effortlessly.
His soul power naturally grew slightly from this, but the increase was negligible. It wasn't worth mentioning.
"You!"
Tang San's face turned ashen.
Facing Li Yu repeated disdain, even though he had a deep inner calculation, he could no longer hold his anger.
He could accept doubts about his strength and talent, but denying the value of the secret techniques he painstakingly learned from Tang Sect's hidden weapons and poisons was another matter entirely!
"You want to die!"
Tang San's anger flared, and his martial soul was finally released!
The first yellow soul ring flashed, and "Bind" was immediately activated.
The deep blue Blue Silver Grass vines burst forth from the ground, rapidly extending toward Li Yu.
"Heh, the 'motherly' Bind?"
Li Yu was greatly shocked and carefully watched the vines of Blue Silver Grass.
He didn't make any moves to stop it, allowing the Blue Silver Grass to approach and even enter the water bubble.
Then,
The Blue Silver Grass that was "marching forward" suddenly came to a halt.
Li Yu raised his hand and pinched a section of Blue Silver Grass, attempting to rip it apart for further study.
But after exerting some force, he found the Blue Silver Grass unusually resilient!
"Tch, looks like I still underestimated him!"
Li Yu muttered to himself, then, without any obvious movement, he used his "nails" to slice through the vines.
Simultaneously, he activated the "Absorption" ability.
Instantly, the faint toxins were absorbed, and the vine broke off as soon as the "nails" passed through it.
"Tch!"
Looking at the section of vine in his hand, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
If he were to tell Tang San now, "I said this is your mother, would you believe it?" he knew that not only Tang San but everyone present would think he was crazy.
But in a certain sense, that was the truth.
After all, without Ah Yin's bloodline, Tang San wouldn't have this martial soul, and he wouldn't have picked up this piece to study in his hand.
After a few careful glances, seeing no abnormalities, he tossed it aside.
But just then,
As Tang San, who had kept a scowl on his face the whole time, grinned, "Parasite!"
In that instant,
The piece of Blue Silver Grass Li Yu had just discarded, along with the other vines entering or already inside the water bubble, began to grow wildly!
In less than a moment, the water bubble disappeared from everyone's sight.
What replaced it was a giant sphere made of vines!
At the same time, the vine sphere started to contract inward, as though it wanted to break through the "Pure Water Guard" defense.
"Interesting, so this is how you can use Blue Silver Grass?"
"This Blue Silver Grass must have been mutated, otherwise, how could it be cultivated to this extent?"
"Exactly! But Tang San is ruthless, sacrificing even the two teammates trapped in the water bubble to defeat Li Yu!"
"Yeah, I just heard those two call him 'Brother San'!"
"Ugh, what a pity. Two beautiful girls, and they ended up with this 'brother'. How sad!"
"Exactly, if it were me, I'd definitely do everything to protect these two sisters!"
"...."
The audience in the stands was full of chatter.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, everyone's expressions were different.
"Brother San, are Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing really okay?"
Ning Rongrong asked with some concern.
At this moment, Tang San had already pulled back, focusing entirely on controlling the "Parasite" and "Spider Web Bind" abilities.
Hearing Ning Rongrong, he became slightly impatient and answered casually, "Xiao Wu is also inside, how could I hurt her?"
Ning Rongrong felt a bit reassured upon hearing this.
Tang San treated Xiao Wu differently from others.
In her heart, Tang San would never harm Xiao Wu, no matter what.
So in her mind, the sentence "Xiao Wu is inside too" was very convincing, and she didn't worry too much.
Meanwhile, inside the "Pure Water Guard" covered by vines,
Li Yu watched as the vines grew wildly toward him, trying to bind him, but they were instantly restrained.
He raised his head, "Let you be proud for a while!"
Then, his eyes narrowed, and his focus shifted elsewhere.
