"Based on your insults, this matter cannot be easily let go," Wu Changkong's eyes grew even colder.
"What do you want if you don't give up?"
"Kill me?"
"This is the Spirit Pagoda. I am a member of the Spirit Pagoda, and I haven't done anything heinous. The powerful members of the Spirit Pagoda certainly won't let anything happen to me."
"Do you think you can single-handedly defeat and kill me against the entire Spirit Pagoda of the East Sea?"
"If you can do it, then go ahead and do it. If you can't, then leave now and don't waste your time here." Shi Yu didn't want to get entangled with the other party any longer; his time was limited.
"I want to try," Wu Changkong said, his tone sharp and forceful. As soon as he finished speaking, he sprang forward, unleashing the Heavenly Frost Sword in an attempt to cripple Shi Yu with a single strike.
The suddenness of the attack caught even Vice Tower Master Li somewhat off guard.
He was mainly confident that the other party wouldn't dare to cause trouble at the Spirit Pagoda in the East China Sea, so he was less wary.
Who would have thought that Wu Changkong was so tough, and that he would take action without hesitation?
"How dare you!" Deputy Tower Master Li roared, but by then it was too late to react.
Fortunately, Shi Yu was on guard at all times, and the space gave him the most direct feedback the moment Wu Changkong moved.
Without the slightest hesitation, he teleported away from where he stood, causing Wu Changkong's sword to miss its mark.
Wu Changkong frowned. He was a Soul Saint, and this sword strike was incredibly swift. How could he have dodged it?
"What are you doing?" Gu Yue's angry voice suddenly rang out.
After Wu Changkong stopped and looked back, he saw that Shi Yu, who had disappeared, had reappeared behind the sofa. The eight spider spears behind him were released, six of which were aimed at Tang Wulin, and the other two were aimed at Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan's necks respectively.
It had already pierced some flesh; if he wanted, he could even pierce their bodies through with the Eight Spider Lances.
"You're courting death!" Wu Changkong's killing intent was chilling as he prepared to kill Shi Yu.
"If you want your three students to die, then do it," Shi Yu threatened in a deep voice, his face revealing a ruthless expression.
They then inserted more of the Eight Spider Spear Soul Bones, causing Tang Wulin and the others to show expressions of pain.
Purple toxins began to spread from the puncture site, indicating poisoning.
"No, no!" Gu Yue cried out in alarm, her heart aching at the sight of Tang Wulin's pain.
They were even more afraid that the other party would really go all out and kill Tang Wulin.
The scene of that spider leg soul bone killing Tang Wulin and the others in the Spirit Ascension Platform was still vivid in his mind.
She was genuinely afraid that the other party would tear Tang Wulin's body apart in reality as well.
Wu Changkong also stopped in his tracks, not daring to make any rash moves, his cold gaze almost freezing over.
Deputy Tower Master Li quickly arrived at Shi Yu's side, surprised by his performance in dodging the Soul Saint's sudden attack unscathed.
He even took the opportunity to subdue the student the other party cared about, using him as a threat—a truly perfect response.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, realizing that his performance as a Contra Douluo had been overshadowed.
"Wu Changkong, you dare to kill my genius soul master in my East Sea Spirit Pagoda? Are you courting death?" Vice Pagoda Master Li roared, genuinely intending to kill Wu Changkong.
If he succeeds in killing Shi Yu, how will he explain it to the Tower Master of the Ancient Tower?
The other party's actions were tantamount to ruining his life, or even cutting off his path to survival. How could he not be furious?
"Vice Tower Master Li, can you really kill him?" Shi Yu asked at the opportune moment.
Since Wu Changkong wanted him dead, he had no reason to let him off easily.
"This…" Vice Tower Master Li hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"If you wish, I can kill him at any cost," Vice Tower Master Li said, not minding giving Shi Yu face at this moment.
The key point is that taking action against Wu Changkong was also reasonable and compliant with regulations; the other party's actions just now provided him with a legitimate reason.
"Then let's kill him," Shi Yu said fiercely, a difficult decision for him.
It's difficult to take this first step if you've never killed anyone or ever asked someone to kill you.
But he forced himself to make the decision, constantly telling himself that this was a world with extraordinary martial arts, and that killing might be unavoidable.
Moreover, the other party attacked him first, even attempting to kill him. Given that, why should he bother with morality and righteousness?
There may be people with the magnanimity of a saint, but he doesn't want to do that.
"Wu Changkong, you don't want your three students to die like this, do you? If you want them to live, then commit suicide here."
"If you commit suicide, I promise I won't hurt them, how about it?" Shi Yu wanted to make things simpler.
Wu Changkong did not answer, but simply gripped the Heavenly Frost Sword tighter.
"Are you unwilling or just having trouble saying it?" Shi Yu asked with a smile.
Wu Changkong remained silent. He wanted to save Tang Wulin and the others, but it was unrealistic for him to sacrifice himself to save them.
"If you dare to hurt them, I guarantee I will kill you at all costs," Wu Changkong warned fiercely.
Getting that icy expression on his face to turn fierce is no easy feat.
"Ha, still spouting nonsense. Knowing full well that this warning is meaningless, why bother saying it at all?"
"Do you think you'll let me go if I give up now?" Shi Yu mocked.
"Release Tang Wulin immediately, or you'll face consequences you can't afford!" Gu Yue said angrily, desperate to rescue Tang Wulin.
"Okay," Shi Yu nodded in agreement and looked at Gu Yue.
"Then release him quickly!" Gu Yue said urgently.
"I can release him, but if you want me to release him, you'll have to pay a ransom first," Shi Yu said with a smile.
I really don't want to kill Tang Wulin right now, mainly because his grandfather is the ruler of a plane, and it might not matter if I threaten his life.
But if it were truly to be killed, the ruler of that plane might not stand idly by.
Threatening someone's life and actually killing someone are two different concepts.
There was no need for him to escalate things to that point; he currently lacked the strength to confront the Lord of the Planes.
Furthermore, the wrath of Gu Yuena after Tang Wulin is truly killed is not something easily endured.
The Golden Dragon King bloodline within Tang Wulin will either perish with his death or be directly unsealed.
Neither outcome is the best for him.
After all, if his bloodline were to die, he would no longer be able to obtain the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. Once the bloodline was unsealed, it would have even less to do with him. He didn't think he could defeat the Golden Dragon King.
Compared to killing Tang Wulin, he would rather use Tang Wulin as a bargaining chip to demand benefits; this is the best option at present.
"Just tell me what you want, and I'll give you whatever I can," Gu Yue said, seemingly without regard for the cost.
Shi Yu turned her body to the side so that no one else could see the shape of her mouth, except for Gu Yue.
Gu Yue understood Shi Yu's lip movements, frowned, and did not immediately agree.
"Why would he want my blood? Does he know something special about me?" Gu Yue wondered, feeling that this was the most likely explanation.
Normal human blood is useless, but I am not an ordinary human; my blood contains the power of the Silver Dragon, which is more valuable than most rare and precious materials.
The fact that the other party demanded ten drops clearly shows they know the value of their blood.
Gu Yue was shocked and flustered, but she tried her best to remain calm and looked at Shi Yu without showing any surprise.
