Chapter 278 Heavenly Punishment
"White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

Dai Mubai spit out a white beam of light towards Di Hong in the air, but it did not attract Di Hong's attention. His attention was now basically on Tang San.

He was thinking about how to drive Tang San away without killing him. After all, he still needed Tang San to fight against the Spirit Empire. But he couldn't drive Tang San away so easily. Although the other party provoked him in this way to save his teacher, he couldn't let him leave so easily.

Otherwise, if there is a first time, there will be a second time.

He is a selfish bad guy, how can he do good things? What's more, this is aiding the enemy. To put it bluntly and selfishly, what does Yu Xiaogang's life or death have to do with him? They are still enemies now.

Dai Mubai's soul skills couldn't even break through Di Hong's protective soul power.

After the light beam dissipated, he wanted to rush up and attack Di Hong but was stopped by Tang San.

"do not come."

Now he had a general certainty about Di Hong's strength. Even the Trident of Poseidon could not break his defense. It was likely that Di Hong's strength had reached or was close to the god level.

Dai Mubai stopped. Since he couldn't attack Di Hong, he could only go and save Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing and the others.

Di Hong raised his hand to block Tang San's Seagod Trident while mocking him.

"Is this all you have?"

"The strength you displayed when you flooded Jialing Pass was comparable to that of a demigod. Bibi Dong was no match for you. But the strength you displayed in front of me is far from what you showed at Jialing Pass."

"Do you look down on your uncle?"

Tang San was not angry because of Di Hong's ridicule. Naturally, he could not use his full strength. This was not Jialing Pass, and his purpose was to pick herbs to save people. If this place was destroyed, Yu Xiaogang would not be saved.

His heart was broken. Without the herbs here, perhaps only God could save him. But the problem was that Yu Xiaogang would not be able to survive until he became a god.

If he exerts his full strength, this place will definitely be destroyed.

Tang Yuehua watched the two people fighting quietly. As a Titled Douluo, she could naturally see that neither of them was using their full strength, otherwise how could she not be affected.

Looking at the magic circle on the ground, she was a little confused. This magic circle must have a second stage, but Di Hong did not release it.

This is Di Hong's ninth soul skill [Heavenly Punishment], which can ignore all defenses and instantly kill all opponents below the Titled Douluo, or instantly kill a Titled Douluo below level 95. However, Di Hong released the ninth soul skill, but did not activate the second stage, and only used the first stage to suppress the opponent.

Obviously, although Di Hong looked very angry, he had no intention to kill, otherwise Ma Hongjun would have died long ago, instead of being strangled by Di Hong and unable to move like now.

But if he continued to pinch like this, Ma Hongjun would really be strangled to death.

Lingyuan Douluo came to Tang Yuehua at this time. She looked a little embarrassed and was also injured.

"You are hurt." Tang Yuehua looked at her.

Ling Yuan felt a little ashamed.

"The subordinates are incompetent."

She was a Titled Douluo after all, but she couldn't even beat Dai Mubai, a Soul Douluo. If that got out, it would be so embarrassing.

Di Hong didn't want to delay it any longer.

He threw Ma Hongjun into the magic circle, and then released his spirit power to force Tang San back. Then he leaped into the sky, and the phantom of the Vermillion Bird that protected him soared into the sky and sank into the hidden layer. The huge Vermillion Bird could still be vaguely seen between the clouds, looming.

"Tang San, it's still not too late for you to retreat now."

Tang San looked at Di Hong in confusion.

Di Hong said calmly: "Did you see that magic circle? That is my ninth soul skill."

"If I release the second stage, your loved ones and your friends will die instantly. The second stage of my soul skill ignores all defenses."

Tang San was horrified after hearing this and stopped the action immediately. Even Ning Rongrong beside Tang Yuehua turned pale, but Oscar was still in the formation.

Tang San is now in a dilemma, on one side are his lover, brothers and sisters, and on the other side is the hope of saving his teacher. Di Hong is giving him a choice, to choose the people in the formation or his teacher. If he chooses the people in the formation, then they will have to leave, if he chooses his teacher, then Xiao Wu and the others will die.

He couldn't accept either one.

Perhaps there is a third option. Thinking of this, he looked at Tang Yuehua.

If he could hold Tang Yuehua hostage, he might be able to negotiate with Di Hong.

Although Tang Yuehua is his aunt, he has no say in the current situation. In his opinion, Di Hong is already doomed to die, but he cannot kill Di Hong now. He can only become a god. But as the heir of God, he can naturally feel the aura emanating from Di Hong, which is the aura of gods.

I'm afraid that the current Emperor Hong is almost not a god.

And Di Hong did not show his soul ring.

Seeing that Tang San was having trouble making a decision, Xiao Wu and the others advised him that saving Yu Xiaogang was the most important thing and they were not important.

The same goes for Oscar, Ma Hongjun and Zhu Zhuqing. The purpose of their coming here is for Yu Xiaogang. Their life and death is not important and cannot change the overall situation. But Yu Xiaogang is different. He is the brain of the entire army. If he dies, how can the army fight against the Wuhun Empire without a brain?

But how could he give up on them? Xiao Wu was Tang San's lover, Ma Hongjun and others were his brothers and sisters, and he had sworn to never let Xiao Wu down in this life.

Soon, he made a decision and turned to attack Tang Yuehua.

"court death!"

Emperor Hong glared at this.

Then red clouds rolled in the sky, and the cry of the Vermillion Bird resounded through heaven and earth.

Then, an extremely huge Vermilion Bird with blazing flames all over its body swooped down from the clouds with extremely terrifying power, and Oscar and others in the formation were suppressed and unable to move.

"do not want!"

Ning Rongrong let out a shrill cry, but she was unable to stop Di Hong's soul skill from falling. However, Di Hong obviously had no intention of Oscar. When the second stage of the soul skill was released, he threw Oscar out, which was considered to give Ning Fengzhi face.

After all, Ning Rongrong grew up under his care.

As for others, they are not so lucky.

The only thing we can do is to send them to the West. It’s Tang San’s fault for making a wrong choice.

Tang San naturally saw it as well. Just as he approached Tang Yuehua, a long sword dropped from the sky and forced him back.

The moment Tang San saw the long sword, he was in despair, because it was the Shura Demon Sword.

Di Yuan stood in the sky, looking at Tang San coldly. At the same time, Qian Renxue also came here. She originally wanted to defeat Tang San, but now it seems unnecessary.

"boom!"

The huge Vermillion Bird fell and smashed into the magic circle. In just a moment, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu and even Dai Mubai who were at the edge of the magic circle were annihilated. They were vaporized in an instant.

"No!"

Tang San's eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot.

Di Hong snorted coldly.

"Since you have made the choice, you must bear the price."

Tang San looked at Di Hong, two lines of blood and tears flowed from his scarlet eyes, and his whole body was shaking.
