The Two Women Joined Forces

"Vase, vase, vase!"

The Dark Blood Demon's gaze, like a poisoned blade, swept over Kiana, Sirin, and Fu Xuan in turn.

Although all three women possessed exquisite beauty comparable to that of immortals, the fluctuations of their scattered Soul Power were so weak as to be almost negligible.

In the Dark Blood Demon's perception, their auras hadn't even reached the Soul Elder realm. These pretty vases posed almost no real threat in the upcoming confrontation.

"Kid?"

When his gaze fell on Nahida, the Dark Blood Demon's eyes paused slightly.

What caught his attention was not the strength of its Soul Power, but its small, exquisite, slightly drooping elf ears, which stood out conspicuously among the crowd.

Looking at his youthful face and his still-developing physique, he was clearly a child who had only recently awakened his Martial Soul. The unusual shape of his ears was most likely the result of Martial Soul Mutation.

Although such cases are extremely rare on the mainland, they are not without precedent, and ultimately they are not worthy of serious consideration.

"The weak, a bunch of defenseless weaklings."

Nan Fusheng, Zheng Yiran, and Wu Siduo were categorized as weaklings by the Dark Blood Demon. In his eyes, anyone whose cultivation level had not reached the Titled Douluo was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed at will.

Although the Soul Power fluctuations within these three were slightly stronger than those of the previous ones, they still hadn't escaped the label of "weaklings." Even if they joined forces to fight the enemy, they could only delay their demise for a moment.

"He is indeed a guy who might get in the way."

When his gaze turned to Qingque, Xu Xiaoyan, and Ye Xinglan, the Dark Blood Demon's eyes finally showed a slight change. He clearly sensed that the Soul Power fluctuations of these three women had already reached the level of Titled Douluo.

Although they are not yet a real threat to him, if the three of them work together, with their exquisite Spirit Skill and tactical arrangements, they might be able to cause him some trouble.

However, this "trouble" is still within his control given his absolute confidence in his abilities.

"The most challenging dishes are indeed these main courses."

Finally, the Dark Blood Demon's gaze settled on Fors, Gu Yuena, Bai Xiuxiu, and Lan Fuzi, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. In his perception, the fluctuations of their Soul Power had already reached the level of Super Douluo.

The combined power of the four of them was enough to pose a real threat to him, especially if they were equipped with Three-word Battle Armor. That kind of amplification would be enough to completely unbalance the battle. Even he dared not underestimate them in the slightest.

Fortunately, Na Nali was on his side.

The Dark Blood Demon's gaze swept over Lan Fuzi discreetly, without a trace of doubt in his heart—clearly, Lan Fuzi's disguise was extremely successful, perfectly concealing her identity as the Demon Empress's daughter; in his eyes, she was nothing more than a powerful Super Douluo.

"Na Nali." The Dark Blood Demon's voice entered Na Nali's consciousness directly through a secret Secret Technique passed down by the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Later, I will keep those four Super Douluo at bay. You seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and make sure to kill one of them first. I will deal with the remaining three. After you have taken care of the rest of the small fry (Nan Fusheng, Kiana, and others), come and help me immediately."

This was the battle plan devised by the Dark Blood Demon: to use himself as bait to attract the firepower of the four Super Douluo, including Fors, thus creating an opportunity for Na Nali to launch a sneak attack.

If he can eliminate one Super Douluo at the start, the threat from the remaining three will be greatly reduced, and he will be able to handle them with ease.

Na Nali's Dark Bell Martial Soul is virtually unbeatable when facing opponents with weaker Soul Power.

The most suitable environment for a sound wave-type Martial Soul is undoubtedly a large-scale melee. Dealing with Xu Xiaoyan and the others would be a piece of cake.

Once Na Nali has resolved her worries, she can turn around and join forces with him to eliminate the remaining three Super Douluo, thus securing victory in the entire battle.

To ensure the plan's success, the Dark Blood Demon also imprinted the auras of Fors, Gu Yuena, Lan Fuzi, and Bai Xiuxiu into the Soul Power Transmission, allowing Na Nali to choose the most suitable target for a sneak attack based on the ever-changing battlefield situation.

This plan, seemingly simple and direct, even somewhat brutal, had an extremely high success rate in the Dark Blood Demon's calculations.

In his view, as long as the two cooperated seamlessly and made full use of their respective strengths, defeating this group of people in front of them would not be a problem at all.

Na Nali: "???"

When I type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, it's that something's wrong with you.

Something's not right. Something's really not right.

Is Blood Demon always this brave? He's always ready to fight at the drop of a hat!

Forget about being brave, your matchmaking method is wrong too! How come you're being matched with Super Douluo, while I have to face at least three Limit Douluo?!

"Wait..." Na Nali subconsciously tried to stop him by transmitting her voice through Secret Technique, attempting to calm him down and let him figure out the situation before making any plans.

However, before her words could fully coalesce into a wave of Soul Power and be transmitted, the Dark Blood Demon, to avoid any unforeseen complications, chose to strike first.

Third Spirit Skill: Dark Black Burning Fire.

With his deep shout, the Wraith spirit behind him, whose entire body was dark red except for its pitch-black face, suddenly opened its massive maw.

A ball of dark Lie Yan, churning with an ominous aura, suddenly spewed out, like a venomous snake ready to devour its prey, sweeping towards the direction where Nan Fusheng and his group were.

This was not an ordinary fire attack; it also carried a terrifying curse power capable of Erosion Element everything.

Once it comes into contact with Spirit Master, it will not only burn away their life force like a leech, but it will also invade their sea of consciousness along with the flow of Soul Power, along with a curse that can slowly erode the origin of their soul, making it extremely vicious.

"A thousand layers of waves!"

Faced with this sudden attack of dark fire, Lan Fuzi reacted quickly and took the initiative to build a defense.

With a light flick of her wrist, she seemingly casually struck out with her palm, and the Water Element in the surrounding air instantly gathered as if guided by an invisible force, creating the phantom of a vast and magnificent Ocean behind her.

The Ocean surged with towering waves, and massive, overlapping waves roared out from the phantom, carrying immense water vapor and crushing force, engulfing the approaching dark Lie Yan, intending to use water to extinguish the fire completely.

However, things didn't go as planned.

The moment the surging black flames collided with the illusory Ocean, they were not extinguished by the seawater as expected; instead, they burned wildly as if they possessed life.

Wherever the black flames passed, the illusory seawater sizzled and evaporated rapidly, its remaining force continuing to rush towards Lan Fuzi, carrying a chilling heat and cold.

"Ice Tide!" Just at this critical moment, a clear, cold sound, like jade clashing, rang out, and Bai Xiuxiu had already stepped in to provide support.

With a light tap of her jade-like finger, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and the Water Element in the air instantly froze into ice, transforming into a surging wave of ice that precisely struck the remaining black flames.

With a "crack" sound, the black flames were instantly frozen into a block of ice. Then, under Bai Xiuxiu's Soul Power, the ice block shattered inch by inch, eventually turning into dust and disappearing without a trace.

"Be careful." Bai Xiuxiu turned her head, glanced at Lan Fuzi indifferently, and reminded him calmly.

"Even if you didn't make a move, I could have defended against it." Lan Fuzi felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and subconsciously retorted, her tone carrying a hint of resentment, as if unwilling to admit that she had just almost been in danger.

"Ah, that's for the best."

Bai Xiuxiu gave a noncommittal scoff, took a step forward, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lan Fuzi. Her gaze was fixed on the Dark Blood Demon, and she said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, if the battle gets too intense later, I can't guarantee I'll have the extra energy to take care of you."

Although the two women were unaware of each other's true identities at this moment, the Demon Soul Great White Shark and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, two sworn enemies existing in the depths of the ocean, seemed to repel each other in the dark, causing them to subconsciously harbor some hostility towards each other.

They can't help but want to retort to the other party whenever they have the chance, as if only in this way can they prove their strength.

Lan Fuzi's competitive spirit was stirred by her words, and she said somewhat angrily, "It's not certain who will take care of whom yet."

Despite her continued tough talk, her body betrayed her by moving closer to Bai Xiuxiu. Facing this Limit Douluo radiating terrifying killing intent, she knew she couldn't afford to be careless; only by joining forces could they have a greater chance of victory.

Although judging from the aura, the person opposite was very likely from her mother's forces, Lan Fuzi herself had no goodwill towards the Holy Spirit Cult, and even felt a bit disgusted by it. So she would not hesitate to attack now, and would go all out.

Coincidentally, the Dark Blood Demon also failed to recognize Lan Fuzi's true identity. In his eyes, the other party was merely a Super Douluo with considerable strength, an obstacle that had to be eliminated as soon as possible. Therefore, he showed no mercy in his attack, and every move was ruthless.

This is understandable. Although the Demon Empress's heart was filled with endless hatred, she still retained a deep and profound maternal love for Lan Fuzi.

Even as the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, she never allowed Lan Fuzi any opportunity to come into contact with the core members of the Holy Spirit Cult, all to protect her daughter from being tainted by this dark and bloody world.

"Spiritual Power at the Spirit Domain, this is truly a treasure." The Dark Blood Demon sensed the pure and vibrant soul fluctuations emanating from Lan Fuzi, a Greed glint flashing in his eyes.

It should be noted that a soul at the Spirit Domain is extremely rare throughout the entire Douluo Continent; it is generally only possessed by Limit Douluo level cultivators.

But now he had actually encountered someone who only had the strength of Super Douluo, but whose Spiritual Power had reached the Spirit Domain. How could this not surprise him?

If he could devour it and absorb the primal power it contained, he would have a very high chance of breaking through his bottleneck and going further, even touching the legendary Quasi-God position.

This temptation made his gaze toward Lan Fuzi even more intense and dangerous.

"Withered Blood Curse, Seven Curses of Demonic Sorrow, Blood Demon Purgatory."

The Dark Blood Demon's eyes gleamed with ferocity, and the Soul Ring representing its second, fourth, and fifth Spirit Skill lit up simultaneously, their brilliant light tinged with a deep crimson and darkness.

As the Wraith behind him suddenly swelled several times its original size, thick, ink-like blood mist appeared out of thin air. Within the blood mist, countless Distortion, struggling, and illusory faces could be vaguely seen wailing in pain.

It contains not only human forms, but also the outlines of numerous Soul Beast, clearly proof of his years of killing and plundering.

The blood mist spread rapidly, carrying a nauseatingly sweet and pungent smell and a bone-chilling cold. The terrifying power of the curse, like a maggot clinging to their bones, enveloped Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi. Wherever it passed, even the space itself seemed to be stained with an ominous blood color.

"The Boundless Ocean Domain!"

"Demonic Whale Domain!"

Sensing the terrifying vengeful Wraith power and curse aura contained within the blood mist, the two women's expressions changed slightly at the same time. They dared not be negligent in the slightest and activated their own domains almost simultaneously, attempting to join forces to resist this wave of attacks.

In an instant, Bai Xiuxiu's Boundless Ocean Domain and Lan Fuzi's Demonic Whale Domain intertwined and merged in front of the two, forming an unprecedented composite new domain.

As a member of the royal bloodline of the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan, Bai Xiuxiu not only inherited the powerful water control and Devouring Power of ordinary Demon Soul Great White Shark, but also evolved a highly lethal Ice Attribute.

Within this realm, there is both the vastness and inclusiveness of the Ocean, and the frigid chill of ice.

Lan Fuzi possesses the powerful bloodline of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and is born with the purest water control ability and a terrifying Domain Power capable of devouring all things.

Within the domain, the Water Element Berserk and concentrated, and its power to devour was absolutely domineering.

At this moment, these two beings, who seemed to be natural enemies, joined forces to fight against a common foe. The Water Element power and the Devouring Power within their domains unexpectedly resonated in a strange way.

With their combined effects and amplification, they unleashed a power far exceeding that of individual attacks, surprising even themselves.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing an undisguised look of disbelief in each other's eyes.

But with a formidable enemy at hand, they had no time to delve into the reasons behind it all. They could only temporarily set aside their differences and focus together on controlling the Domain Power to fight against the spreading blood mist.

"Waaaaah~"

The wails within the blood mist grew increasingly shrill. The moment they touched the fused domain of the two women, they were instantly split and torn apart by the endlessly spinning Elemental Vortex within the domain, as if to be completely crushed and Purification.

As for the Devouring Power contained within the domain?

Seeing the countless wailing and struggling faces within the blood mist, and the dense aura of curse contained within, both women felt a sense of vigilance and tacitly refrained from using their abilities.

The Dark Blood Demon was clearly an expert in the power of curses. If it rashly devoured these blood mists, and the hidden curse power within them were to invade its body through the path of consumption, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Waaaaah~"

However, even though the blood mist was constantly being divided, torn apart, and even completely annihilated under the influence of the fusion field, the mournful howls did not weaken at all; on the contrary, they seemed to intensify, as if they were a call from the deepest hell, constantly assaulting the minds of the two women.

The next moment, Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi simultaneously felt a sudden wave of weakness spread throughout their bodies, as if their life force had been devoured by some invisible force in an instant.

At the same time, a strong sense of dizziness and confusion arose in his mental state. It was as if a stone had been thrown into his sea of consciousness, causing ripples. Even the circulation of his Soul Power became slightly sluggish.

"What?!"

Both women were startled, their faces showing disbelief. Their fusion domain had clearly successfully blocked the tangible blood mist, so why were they still affected and feeling such a pronounced Erosion Element?

"Hehehe, you fools, do you think the power of curses is so easy to resist?"

Upon seeing this, the Dark Blood Demon let out a chilling laugh, while the Wraith behind it continued to spew blood mist, and a sinister smile seemed to crack open in the darkness of its face.

"Although this blood mist also contains the power of a curse, it's merely a decoy. The real killing move has already silently infiltrated along with the spreading blood mist."

The power of curses is inherently formless and intangible, difficult to grasp. The blood mist, seemingly the main attack, is actually more about concealing the true curse, spreading it silently.

Although Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi's domains could resist the tangible blood mist, they could not completely isolate the invisible curse power that merged into the air and permeated the space.

In terms of raw power in a direct confrontation, the Dark Blood Demon might be at the very bottom among the Limit Douluo.

But when it comes to plotting and using insidious methods, there are almost no people on the entire Douluo Continent who are more skilled than him.

This curse attack, combining illusion and reality, is one of his most prized killing moves.
