Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

Tang San's palm pressed against the wall, his waist bent, as he took deep breaths of fresh air.

After such a long rant, he felt nearly exhausted.

At that moment, he was somewhat confused. Why hadn't Xiaowu and Xu Ran reacted at all to his loud voice?

This was not normal!

Perhaps Xu Ran, that despicable fellow, had thick skin and was indifferent to everything. But Xiaowu wasn't like that. She was definitely not the kind of person who could endure grievances. With her current attitude towards Xu Ran, if she knew he was cursing Xu Ran, she would definitely be furious and wouldn't remain so composed.

Where had things gone wrong?

Could it be that Xu Ran had cast some magic to prevent Xiaowu from hearing what he said?

Thinking this, Tang San was so angry he was at a loss for words. Xu Ran was truly despicable. If Xiaowu couldn't hear what he was saying, how difficult would it be to explain things to her later? If he wanted to meet Xiaowu alone to explain, Xu Ran would certainly not give him that chance.

"Xu Ran, you are really despicable, preventing my voice from reaching Xiaowu's ears," Tang San spat out blood. He suddenly raised his head and noticed Xu Ran's glance toward him, filled with a trace of contempt as if mocking him, "Look, your woman is now in my arms. In the days to come, she will turn her back on you and become your enemy."

"Ahhh!"

"Xu Ran, Xu Ran..."

"I'm going to kill you!"

The look in Xu Ran's eyes completely infuriated Tang San. No matter how indifferent he normally was, within a day or two, he had encountered so many things. Precious Xiao Wu had broken with him, he had been cuckolded, and Xu Ran was flaunting Xiaowu in front of him. Each of these events was enough to fuel his rage beyond measure.

But he didn't blame Xiaowu for any of it. He only hated Xu Ran. Why did he have to steal Xiaowu from him and then treat him like this afterward?

"Once you're dead, everything will end," Tang San said coldly, his eyes brimming with a scarlet murderous intent. No man could calmly watch the woman he liked held in another man's arms, especially when that man was the archvillain Xu Ran.

A one-foot-long dark hidden weapon case appeared in Tang San's hand.

This was a hidden weapon case he had just made a few days ago. Although his strength was only at the level of a Grand Soul Master, this hidden weapon could even kill a Soul Ancestor.

"Ding, no insults against the 'Host' detected nearby, unblocking state lifted," the System's voice rang out.

At the same time, Xiaowu's delicate body trembled violently. She had heard Tang San's voice; she had heard every word he had just said.

When had Tang San arrived?

Was he planning to assassinate Xu Ran with a sneak attack?

Xiaowu turned pale, and being held in Xu Ran's arms, she suddenly looked in Tang San's direction. After just one glance, her face turned extremely ugly. Was Tang San now in a fit of rage? Xu Ran had exposed his disgraceful acts, and now he wanted to secretly attack Xu Ran.

Xu Ran had only revealed his true face and had not provoked him, yet now he was actually thinking of dealing a deadly blow to Xu Ran.

"Be careful," Xiaowu urgently warned, panic flooding her heart as she saw Tang San take out the hidden weapon. She had witnessed Tang San's mastery with hidden weapons before, and she knew that not even a Soul Ancestor would necessarily be a match for it.

"Die!" As Xiaowu warned Xu Ran, Tang San let out a loud shout and suddenly triggered the mechanism of the hidden weapon.

Instantly, a full twelve sharp hidden weapon swords rushed towards Xu Ran's direction. The arrows whistling through the air with the sound of breaking through the atmosphere, clearly indicating that their speed had reached an extreme.

"Tang San, you're coming to deliver some moves to me again," Xu Ran revealed a smile, Tang San was truly great. Just when he was about to run out of moves, Tang San would come to deliver more.

Without hesitation, Xu Ran unleashed his Martial Soul, and two yellow and one purple Soul Rings appeared on his hands.

At the same time, a pitch-black sword like ink appeared in his hands. Looking at the hidden weapons rapidly shooting toward him, Xu Ran didn't hesitate and immediately unleashed his third soul skill.

"Sword Qi Across!" Xu Ran grasped the hilt and continuously waved the long sword in the air. In just a moment, more than a dozen streaks of Sword Qi appeared, hitting the hidden weapons with precision.

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

The Sword Qi directly knocked all of the hidden weapon arrows down. Of course, Xu Ran left one arrow intentionally, just to show off to Tang San a bit and simultaneously earn some favor from Xiao Wu.

As Xu Ran was releasing his third soul skill, he slightly shifted his stance while holding Xiao Wu, causing her to unknowingly arrive at the position he had just been standing in.

At that moment, an arrow was shooting towards Xiao Wu's direction.

Xiao Wu was clearly aware of this too, and just as she was about to unleash her Martial Soul, Xu Ran fiercely pulled her close. Twisting his body one hundred and eighty degrees, he faced his back towards the arrow, wrapping Xiao Wu tightly in his arms.

Simultaneously, he wielded his long sword to send out a faint Sword Qi, striking the arrow and causing its speed to drastically slow down as it flew through the air. When the hidden weapon reached Xu Ran's back, his body, nourished by the Kirin Bloodline, was only slightly injured.

"Be careful."

Xu Ran shouted loudly, his body violently trembling, stiffening up completely. Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, dripping onto the stunningly beautiful face of Xiao Wu.

"Xu Ran, what's wrong?" Xiao Wu's voice trembled as she asked, held tightly by Xu Ran, she could distinctly feel his body rapidly stiffening. She abruptly lifted her head to look at his face, then she saw it.

Bright crimson blood oozed from the corner of Xu Ran's mouth, continuously dripping down and landing on her face. The blood that touched her face still carried a hint of warmth. There was also a lot of blood that dripped onto her lips, where she could taste the salty and slightly sweet flavor of blood.

Xiao Wu took a deep breath, her delicate body trembling softly.

Two lines of crystal clear tears rolled down her tender cheeks, merging with the rainwater on the ground. Lightning flashed, thunder roared, the sky instantly brightened, and those two teardrops, like glittering gems, were unspeakably beautiful.

Lying in Xu Ran's arms, Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes did not leave his for a moment, and Xu Ran also gazed back at Xiao Wu, his eyes slightly dim but still so bright.

Eventually, Xu Ran lost his strength, his palm no longer able to hold the umbrella handle. The umbrella that had sheltered them from the wind and rain fell to the ground, and the torrential downpour fell on them. Along with the rain coursing down were the fresh blood from Xu Ran's back and lips, staining his clothes red with the rain's aid—a sight so strikingly poignant.

The ground beneath their feet quickly turned into a pool of blood and water.

Xu Ran's injuries seemed severe at this moment, but he still held the girl in his arms tightly.

"From now on, I'll be by your side, and no one will be able to hurt you, not even a little. Remember, anytime, I will always stand behind you to support and protect you." Xu Ran said with a hoarse voice, opening his mouth as rainwater entered, and more bright crimson blood flowed out.
