Was A Zhu's Soul Bone Stolen? Martial Soul Daily, Holy Emperor Qian Xunji
"Next up, 'Otherworldly Angel,' with level 78 Soul Power, will face 'Death Spider Emperor,' who also has level 78 Soul Power!
What surprises will this battle between two high-level Soul Saints bring us?
Let's wait and see!"
The referee's voice rang throughout the arena, and wave after wave of cheers erupted from the stands.
In the passage leading to the Soul Fighting stage, Qian Renxue looked somewhat relaxed.
For her, dealing with a Soul Master whose Spider Emperor Martial Soul was perfectly countered by her Angel Martial Soul was as easy as turning over her hand!
The Six-Winged Angel, with its sacred and light attributes, versus the Death Spider Emperor, with its dark and evil attributes!
Which side would win?
Such a hard guess!
Qian Renxue was supremely confident about this battle.
Unless A Zhu was a powerhouse like her mother, but was that possible?
On the other side, with the match about to begin, Tang Hao and A Zhu had only just learned that Qian Renxue's Martial Soul might be an angel!
"Her code name is Otherworldly Angel, and her surname is Qian. She's called Qian Xue.
How could there be such a coincidence in this world?"
Standing before the entrance to the passage, Tang Hao suddenly thought of this and grew anxious!
"A Zhu, you shouldn't go out there!
This Qian Xue is most likely a member of Spirit Hall's Qian Family, and her Martial Soul must be the Six-Winged Angel!
The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is practically the perfect counter to your Death Spider Emperor!
If you go out there..."
A Zhu fell silent for a moment at his words, but she still said firmly:
"Since I'm going back to the Clear Sky Sect with you, Brother Hao, the people of Spirit Hall's Qian Family are our enemies.
In that case, I'll fight someone from Spirit Hall today. I want to see just how strong the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul really is!"
Of course, that was only part of the reason.
Another part was the shadow the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul had cast over A Zhu's heart.
Back then, if she hadn't left Death Canyon first with Tang Hao and Tang Xiao,
She would very likely have died at the hands of the Qian Family!
Even a 10 Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone she had hidden in Death Canyon had been stolen by the Qian Family!
A Zhu was deeply aggrieved. It was a 10 Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone!
To be precise, it was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's right arm bone!
Back in Death Canyon, besides A Zhu, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Death Spider Emperor, there had been another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast:
The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Devouring Spider Emperor!
However, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor had failed to withstand its heavenly tribulation and had perished,
Leaving behind this Soul Bone.
That was also why A Zhu had chosen to take human form and cultivate anew rather than face the heavenly tribulation head-on.
"Brother Hao, do you think I'll win?"
Although A Zhu knew she would most likely lose this battle, she still smiled and looked forward to Tang Hao's answer.
Tang Hao was silent for a while, but he still nodded and said:
"You will!"
On the Douluo Continent of the original timeline, Original Bibi Dong stared at the heavenly screen, her expression visibly going blank.
"That's not right!
Something's very wrong!"
Beside her, Original Yue Guan stroked his chin and said with a peculiar look:
"Your Holiness, if I remember correctly, isn't this A Zhu the Soul Beast from Death Canyon back then?
She's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Death Spider Emperor who took human form to cultivate anew, and that should indeed be her name, but shouldn't she still be in Death Canyon at this point?
Why has she appeared at Tang Hao's side?
And they're even acting so intimate, as though she's taken the place of Ah Yin, the transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor?"
"I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps this also has something to do with His Holiness the former Pope of that timeline?" Original Gui Mei echoed, his expression somewhat peculiar.
"Let's keep watching for now. If this change was caused by that Qian Xunji,
I'd like to see whether Tang Hao and this A Zhu will still meet the same ending as they did in our world."
Original Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes as she watched the images on the heavenly screen, even feeling a little anticipation.
Although the Qian Xunji of the other timeline had nothing to do with her, no matter which world he was from, as long as he was Qian Xunji, she, Bibi Dong, could not bear to see him prosper!
Although Ah Yin had disappeared and A Zhu had taken her place,
If things still went the same way as in this world, and Qian Xunji led people to hunt down Tang Hao and A Zhu in the future,
Forcing A Zhu to sacrifice herself to Tang Hao, who then severely injured Qian Xunji,
Then Bibi Dong of that world could seize the chance to turn the tables and kill Qian Xunji, devouring that Qian Xunji's Angel Bloodline and soul!
At the thought, Bibi Dong could not help licking her lips.
Qian Xunji, oh Qian Xunji, killing you once wasn't enough. I want to watch you get killed again!
What Bibi Dong would never have imagined, even in her dreams, was that Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong in the other timeline were a harmonious couple, their zithers playing in perfect accord. If she ever saw it, she would probably be bitterly disappointed.
In the other timeline, Qian Renxue and A Zhu stepped onto the Soul Fighting stage and began their match. Below, Tang Hao looked tense, hoping A Zhu would not lose too badly.
"This Qian Family's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is simply inhuman!
That 'Angel's Wrath' Qian Xunji created himself is even comparable to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Skill. Against Soul Masters and Soul Beasts with evil and dark attributes, it's a dimensionality-reduction strike!
If this 'Qian Xue' can use it too, A Zhu might be severely injured on the spot!"
Tang Hao gripped the railing, unable to stop sweat from beading on his forehead.
In the decades since Qian Xunji had reincarnated on the Douluo Continent, he had created several Soul Skills of his own, earning praise and admiration throughout the Soul Master World.
As for how Tang Hao knew the term "dimensionality-reduction strike," that came down to one of the many benefits Qian Xunji had brought to the Douluo Continent, as mentioned before:
Martial Soul Daily!
Qian Xunji had divided Martial Soul Daily into several sections.
These included, but were not limited to, the countless evils committed by the nobles of the two great empires.
The line of poetry, "Behind vermilion gates, wine and meat rot; on the roads lie the bones of those frozen to death," had spread throughout the Douluo Continent as Qian Xunji used the daily paper to denounce the nobles of both empires for their extravagance and disregard for the common people at the bottom.
There were also case after case of children from families who had lived at the bottom and suffered relentless exploitation by the nobles.
With the help of Spirit Hall's grassroots deacons, they awakened their Martial Souls, were found to possess Soul Power, entered Spirit Hall and received the finest resources, successfully turning their lives around.
There were also the many Soul Masters who had committed all manner of evil and were captured by Spirit Hall's Soul Masters, then either executed or imprisoned in Slaughter City.
Among them, Zhao Wuji, who had only just been captured by Dugu Bo, would also appear in Martial Soul Daily and be scorned by the people of the Douluo Continent.
One incident after another had made Qian Xunji, the Pope of Spirit Hall, renowned throughout the Douluo Continent. Some even called him the "Martial Soul Holy Emperor."
Many people even believed that destroying the two great empires and having Spirit Hall take over the rule of the entire Douluo Continent would be the best choice!
As Qian Renxue stepped onto the stage, the heavenly screen began broadcasting the match live to the Douluo Continent of the original timeline.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Angel True Body!"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Spider Emperor True Body!"
After a brief exchange on the Soul Fighting stage, Qian Renxue and A Zhu each used their Seventh Soul Skill.
But unlike Qian Renxue, who was still in perfect condition, A Zhu was in a sorry state, her body covered in burns from the holy light.
