Chapter 616 Shi Nian Cannot Die Yet
However, just because someone doesn't speak up now doesn't mean others won't.
Tang San, who had been leaning weakly against a large tree, suddenly struggled to his feet and began to accuse Shi Nian of his crimes to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo:
"Uncle Ning, Senior Sword Douluo, he wants to kill me and also harm our Shrek Seven Devils team. Please don't let him get away with this!"
Immediately afterwards, Tang San recounted the whole story to the two of them.
In fact, without Tang San's explanation, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, after arriving at this place, had already roughly guessed from a glance that Shi Nian had detained Tang San here probably to hunt him down.
What they didn't expect was that Shi Nian actually planned to target the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils, which Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo found intolerable.
Although Shi Nian did not explicitly state that he wanted to harm Ning Rongrong, Ning Rongrong was, after all, in the Shrek Seven Devils' team. If something happened to the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils, how could they continue playing?
Ning Rongrong's journey in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament has likely come to an end.
The show ended before it even started; isn't that a joke?
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo absolutely could not agree to this, as they were hoping that Ning Rongrong could gain more experience in this Elite Soul Master Competition.
Moreover, Ning Fengzhi has made a huge bet on the Shrek Seven Devils, investing heavily and hoping they will become an important force to contend with the Spirit Hall in the future. How could he allow anything to happen to them?
Even setting aside all that, just the fact that Tang San was being attacked was enough to infuriate Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.
After all, if Tang San were gone, wouldn't their large deposit for the hidden weapon order be wasted?
You should know that in order to equip all the direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with hidden weapons as soon as possible to enhance their strength, they have been working overtime almost every day to create and manufacture hidden weapon parts according to the blueprints.
There are now nearly a million gold soul coins worth of hidden weapon parts piled up in the warehouse, just waiting for Tang San to assemble them.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't know how to assemble hidden weapons; it's all in Tang San's hands. If he dies, who will assemble them? Wouldn't they all be stuck with nothing?
At that time, daring to mess with Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils could only mean that they had crossed the red line of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The smooth-talking Ning Fengzhi might be able to control his anger, but the Sword Douluo who wields the Seven Kill Sword doesn't have such a good temper.
"snort--"
Sword practitioners are always straightforward. After listening to Tang San's explanation, Sword Douluo immediately let out a cold snort, and his terrifying Title Douluo aura burst forth. A sharp aura swept down and crushed Shi Nian, whose legs were trembling.
Sword Douluo could disregard everything else, but anything related to Ning Rongrong would never be ignored.
Although Ning Rongrong is not related to him by blood, after serving as the Guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for so many years, Sword Douluo has long regarded the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as his home and Ning Rongrong as his granddaughter.
In short, Ning Rongrong is his precious darling, the apple of his eye. Anyone who dares to harm Ning Rongrong will be killed without hesitation.
The terrifying soul power, overwhelming and unstoppable, suddenly descended upon him like an abyss or a prison. Before Shi Nian could react, he was slammed to the ground with a thud, prostrating himself on the ground.
Faced with the soul power pressure of a level 96 Super Douluo, Shi Nian, who was only a level 72 Soul Saint, was naturally unable to withstand it. Before long, blood was seeping from his mouth and nose, but he was unable to move due to the powerful soul power suppression.
"Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo, please spare my life! I was wrong! I'll never dare to do it again!"
Terrified, he hurriedly begged for mercy, but his words were incoherent due to his overwhelming fear.
Hearing Shi Nian's pleas for mercy, Ning Fengzhi remained silent with a dark face, as if he hadn't heard her.
Sword Douluo's face was frosty, his sharp gaze fixed on Shi Nian, who was prostrate on the ground below, his face filled with fear.
"Spare you? Hmph—if you dare to extend your claws towards Rongrong's team, you should be prepared to die!"
"Be a good person in your next life."
As he spoke, Sword Douluo's eyes were already filled with sword light. He then pointed his fingers together like a sword, and pure white soul power swirled and condensed at his fingertips, transforming into a small, sharp sword.
Immediately afterwards, Sword Douluo flicked his sword finger, and the sharp sword shot out instantly, heading straight for Shi Nian's heart, seemingly intending to pierce him through.
"No, don't—"
Shi Nian was suppressed by the title pressure of Sword Douluo and could not move. He could only watch helplessly as the latter's soul power transformed into a sharp sword and stabbed towards him like a streak of light. He could only let out a futile wail.
Ning Fengzhi, standing alongside Sword Douluo on the Seven Kill Giant Sword, watched all this with an expressionless face and indifferent eyes.
It was as if a Soul Saint-level Soul Master had died before his eyes, as insignificant as an ant dying in front of him.
Seeing Shi Nian being suppressed by Sword Douluo and about to be killed, Tang San, who was struggling to stand by leaning against a big tree, revealed an extremely happy expression on his face, which even became somewhat distorted due to the intensity of his emotions.
Thinking of all the scenes he had seen in the Dream Realm of Shi Nian, Tang San's heart was filled with resentment.
Shi Nian trapped himself in an illusion, not only returning to the desolate Ghostly Sorrow at the summit of Tangmen Peak to suffer the most brutal tortures of Tangmen, but also making him helplessly watch Xiao Wu being humiliated and defiled.
Although those scenes were not real, they were a great form of mental torture for Tang San.
Even though he had escaped the illusion, those images still lingered in his mind and wouldn't go away.
Especially the scene where Xiao Wu was brutally humiliated by Bu Le, all the images are still clearly visible, and even the sounds are still so clear to hear.
Although Tang San knew in his heart that those were illusions and not real events, he still couldn't accept it no matter what.
Tang San now harbored deep hatred for Shi Nian, wishing he could kill him with his own hands, tear him to pieces, and shatter his body into countless fragments, otherwise he would not be able to vent his anger.
Unfortunately, he was no match for Shi Nian, and now, having exhausted his soul power and feeling utterly weak, he was unable to take action himself, which was somewhat regrettable.
However, although he was unable to kill Shi Nian himself, being able to see Shi Nian lose his life in front of him was still a satisfying thing.
Tang San stared intently at Shi Nian.
Watching him being suppressed by Sword Douluo without any power to resist, watching him beg for mercy, watching him struggle, fear, and despair.
As Shi Nian was about to be pierced through the heart by Sword Douluo's sword and executed, Tang San couldn't help but grin as wide as possible, feeling nothing but joy in his heart.
…………
On the thick branches of a large tree not far away.
Salas, a thin man with a goatee, had an indifferent gaze. Ever since he heard His Highness the Holy Son tell him not to interfere, he had stood there watching the show as if it were none of his business.
Ye Qifeng glanced at Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi, who were flying over on their swords, then shifted his gaze slightly to a shadowy spot in the woods behind them, and smiled faintly.
Within the powerful perception of mental energy
Ye Qifeng could clearly sense that Tang Hao, who had followed closely behind Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, had arrived.
However, he did not show himself immediately, but chose to hide. Perhaps it was because he sensed the presence of Salas and a group of Spirit Hall Holy Emperor Warriors and Templar Knights that he dared not reveal his whereabouts rashly.
Even after Tang Hao heard Tang San's account and learned that Shi Nian had come to intercept and kill Tang San during the short time he was away, he was so enraged that he wanted to jump out and smash Shi Nian to death with a hammer.
He dared not reveal his true form.
Sensing that Tang Hao had retreated back into the shadows, Ye Qifeng shook his head, glanced to the left and right, nodded secretly, and made a gesture, as if greeting someone.
In the dense jungle on both sides, two more Super Douluo were lying in ambush: Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo whom Ye Qifeng had specially summoned, and She Long, the Serpent Spear Douluo whom he had borrowed from Qian Renxue.
It is worth mentioning that.
When Qian Renxue heard that Ye Qifeng needed a Title Douluo as an assistant, perhaps because of her passionate love, or perhaps because of the comfort she received that night, she waved her hand and even considered sending the Porcupine Douluo Ci Xue to him as well.
However, Ye Qifeng refused her offer and only lent Serpent Spear Douluo Shelong to come over, without taking the Porcupine Douluo Cixue with him.
After all, Qian Renxue also needs someone to protect her safety.
Ye Qifeng didn't want her to be in a situation without the protection of a Title Douluo because of him.
Although Qian Renxue, like him, possessed the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo and was already quite strong, she was still somewhat outmatched when facing beings above the Title Douluo level. It was necessary to leave the Porcupine Douluo Ci Xue to protect her.
As for why Ye Qifeng specifically summoned Poison Douluo Dugu Bo and Serpent Spear Douluo She Long, and ordered them to lie in ambush in the shadows.
It's just to prevent problems from happening in the first place.
—To prevent Tang Hao, Ning Fengzhi, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin from harming him and the people of the Spirit Hall.
Of course, it was mainly aimed at Tang Hao.
It's not that likely that Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin will fight each other.
Given the current situation in Douluo Continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School does not dare to turn against the Spirit Hall, nor does it dare to openly challenge the Spirit Hall.
At most, they would secretly contact some forces that had grudges or were hostile to the Spirit Hall, intending to form an alliance to counter the Spirit Hall.
They don't have the guts to do the others.
The one who should really be worried is Tang Hao.
Given Tang Hao's hatred and desire for revenge against the Spirit Hall, if he discovers that Ye Qifeng, the Spirit Hall's Holy Son, is isolated and without any Title Douluo protecting him, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be able to resist the urge to attack.
After all, the vengeful pleasure of killing a Spirit Hall Holy Son far surpasses the joy and pleasure of destroying a Spirit Hall branch back then.
However, it seems that Tang Hao hasn't lost his mind yet; he held back.

"Bishop Salas, stop Sword Douluo's attack! Shi Nian cannot die here."
Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly, then turned to Salas beside him and whispered an instruction.
At this moment, Sword Douluo, his face contorted with rage, was about to deliver a fatal blow to Shi Nian. The miniature version of the Seven Kill Sword, condensed from soul power, was about to pierce through Shi Nian's heart.
Salas, who was watching the show with a detached mindset, was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. In his heart, whether Shi Nian lived or died was actually of no concern, but since the Holy Son had given the order, he would naturally carry it out.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Salas quickly realized what was happening, responded, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the tree branch.
In the blink of an eye, Salas's gaunt body appeared beside Shi Nian below, his soul power extremely concentrated, and he slammed his palm onto the small soul power sword that was piercing Shi Nian's heart.
Clang——
As his palm touched the small sword, a clear sword hum suddenly rang out.
Salas was unable to stop the piercing attack of the soul power sword. Even Salas himself was pushed back two steps by the recoil from his palm strike, but his palm strike did have some effect.
Under this palm strike with extremely concentrated soul power, the trajectory of the small sword of soul power that had transformed into sword light clearly shifted, changing from aiming at Shi Nian's heart to aiming at Shi Nian's armpit.
Pfft!
With a soft piercing sound, the miniaturized Seven Kill Greatsword grazed Shi Nian's armpit and pierced the ground, leaving a smooth crack more than ten centimeters long.
However, at that time, it was completely unharmed.
Just as Shi Nian was about to be beheaded and die, he was suddenly saved. The smile on Tang San's face froze almost instantly, and then turned ashen.
But at that moment, no one paid any attention to him.
"Salas, why are you stopping me?"
The attack failed, and Sword Douluo raised an eyebrow, then lowered his eyes and glanced at Salas with a hint of surprise.
"I apologize, Sword Douluo, but this bishop has no intention of being your enemy. It's just that Shi Nian is not yet ready to die."
Salas stepped forward, standing before Shi Nian under the oppressive aura of the Sword Douluo title. He spoke words of apology, but his attitude was extremely firm, as if he was determined to protect Shi Nian.
At this moment, Salas almost pushed his cultivation to its limit. After all, the pressure of a Super Douluo's soul power was not easy to bear. Even though he was a Soul Douluo with a soul power level of 87, he could only barely keep standing.
Hearing Salas's words, Sword Douluo frowned. At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, who was beside him, suddenly spoke up.
He then said meaningfully:
"Bishop Salas, you arrived before us and have been here for some time. You must have heard what Tang San said earlier."
"At this time, he dared to defy the world and openly intercept and kill the participants of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. He deserves to die."
"Isn't it wrong for you to protect him like this?"
Salas did not answer Ning Fengzhi's question immediately, but instead turned his gaze to Sword Douluo:
"Sword Douluo, could you please withdraw your soul power pressure?"
