Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

Huang Bingbing looked at him with some surprise but shook her head. "I took your money, I don't want to kill you."

Tang San said, "If I don't prove I have enough strength, our future cooperation might be problematic. In that case, let's resolve this issue first so that we can talk on equal footing."

Huang Bingbing's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. "You seem very confident. Your bloodline ability earlier was not bad, but not enough either. Fine, I agree. If you win, I won't take him and will try to make this happen. But if you lose, I'll take him with me, though I will still try to make this happen."

Tang San stared at her intently. "If I lose, you can take my senior brother. But if you harm him in any way, in the near future, I will exterminate the Ice Maiden clan, and you can all return to the ice you so much love."

His tone was calm, but his words had an indescribable majesty to them.

This version of Tang San/Asura was someone neither Huang Bingbing nor Wu Bingji had ever seen before. At this moment, he seemed like a completely different person.

Tang San was truly angry. Although he hadn't interacted much with the Ice Maiden clan leader before, in their previous exchanges, everything he did was for the benefit of the Ice Maiden clan. While he did have the intention of helping humanity rise, everything he said also greatly benefited the Ice Maiden clan.

But after he brought Wu Bingji here, the clan leader wanted to forcibly take Wu Bingji back to deal with him, which genuinely angered Tang San. Tang San understood that this proud clan leader had probably never looked at a human with respect, much less thought of them as equals. If he did not prove his strength, their cooperation would likely not proceed smoothly.

This was the culture of the demons and nymphs: strength was the foundation of everything. Just like how Tang San had convinced Big Cat—it wasn't just because Tang San had saved the entire Lion-Tiger clan but also because Tang San had defeated him one-on-one on the battlefield. Apart from gratitude, there was also a sense of submission toward Tang San.

Tang San said, "Clan Leader, let’s head in the direction of the Ice Maiden clan. We'll find a place outside the Ancestral Court to fight, and my senior brother will be there to witness the fight. Earlier, I gave you five thousand naturae coins. If I win, you can still take these coins, I will not ask for that money back. However, I hope you can use the Throne of Frost to purify my senior brother's bloodline, at least to the extent that he can cultivate to the peak of the ninth order."

Huang Bingbing looked at Tang San, feeling an unusual sensation in her heart. When Tang San had uttered those threatening words earlier, her heart had skipped a beat, making her feel as if she had done something wrong.

Does he really believe he can defeat me? How is that even possible? Throne of Frost or not, I am still a peak-level Nymph King.

"Alright!" Huang Bingbing was now slightly regretting her insistence on taking Wu Bingji by force. She had already decided to push for this cooperation no matter what because what Asura had said earlier had genuinely moved her. However, cooperation aside, holding the dominant position was still critical. She had no intention of harming Wu Bingji but thought that taking him back could allow them to try breeding offspring and essentially hold a hostage, which would benefit the Ice Maiden clan. She hadn't expected Asura to react so strongly.

"Clan Leader, do you want to leave now or wait until tomorrow morning?" Tang San asked.

"Let's go now." Huang Bingbing had already made up her mind and didn't want to delay. She had decided that once she won the fight, she would be more conciliatory and at least assure this Asura of his senior brother's safety in order to ease the tension.

She was well aware of the high price the array disc had fetched at the Ancestral Court auction, so she believed to some extent in the cooperation with the array master that Asura spoke of. Naturally, she did not want to offend him.

Wu Bingji looked at Tang San, and Tang San gently shook his head. After being together for so long, they had developed a mutual understanding. Wu Bingji asked if they should inform their teacher about this matter.

Tang San's answer was no.

Although Zhang Haoxuan was now a god-level powerhouse, he had only recently attained that level and was still inferior to Huang Bingbing. Moreover, Huang Bingbing had the Throne of Frost, which elevated her to the level of a Great Nymph King when used. Tang San had just pressured her not to use the Throne of Frost. But if Zhang Haoxuan came, and Huang Bingbing felt threatened, things could go badly.

Therefore, from the beginning, Tang San had planned to face the situation alone.

Huang Bingbing didn't have much to pack, so she and Tang San left the White Tiger Grand Hotel and rented a carriage in front of the hotel, heading straight for the outskirts of the Ancestral Court.

Since Huang Bingbing was returning to the Ice Maiden clan, she naturally chose the northern exit.

Sitting in the carriage, neither side said a word, each absorbed in their own thoughts. Wu Bingji's feelings were the most complex at this moment. Although he didn't know Huang Bingbing's exact cultivation level, she was definitely a god. How could Tang San challenge such a person? However, from Tang San's previous words, he knew that Tang San was confident; moreover, he had never seen Tang San do something he wasn't sure about.

Earlier, Huang Bingbing had said that with his bloodline, his mother should be a god-level elder of the Ice Maiden clan. This meant that his mother was likely still alive and in the Ice Maiden clan! From this perspective, Wu Bingji truly wanted to go to the Ice Maiden clan. Even if it was risky, he wanted to see what his mother was like.

So he had made a decision in his heart. If Tang San couldn't win, he would immediately tell Huang Bingbing that he was willing to go to the Ice Maiden clan and ask her to spare Tang San.

At this moment, Tang San was the calmest among the three. He closed his eyes, seemingly entering a state where he forgot both himself and the surroundings. His aura was perfectly restrained, and a faint, natural glow enveloped his skin. It wasn't noticeable unless you looked closely, but when you did, you could sense a peculiar harmony about him.

Huang Bingbing mostly kept her gaze on Tang San, only occasionally glancing at Wu Bingji. She was pondering how to handle the upcoming fight. As for losing to Tang San, she had never considered it. No matter how much she was willing to cooperate, as the leader of the Ice Maiden clan, losing was not an option. It was a matter of pride for the Ice Maiden clan.

The sky had completely darkened by the time they arrived outside the Ancestral Court. They could only see each other under the sparse light of the stars and moon.

The carriage took them ten miles away from the Ancestral Court. Tang San paid extra to have the carriage wait for a while.

Beyond the northern exit of the Ancestral Court was a hilly area. It was still relatively close to the Ancestral Court, so they had to cross the hills and go a bit further to find a secluded valley for the battle to avoid being noticed.

This situation was something completely normal at the Ancestral Court. Fights were not allowed inside under any circumstances, so they had to go outside.

They walked without a word, crossing two hills until they reached a relatively flat valley. Huang Bingbing stopped first and said, "This place will do."

Tang San nodded slightly and said, "Alright. Senior brother, please watch from the sidelines. No matter what you see today, I ask you to keep it a secret for me."
