Fighting a Dou Shi Alone

A long whip composed entirely of flowing water instantly appeared in his hand.

The Gray-robed Man rotated his right hand, and the water whip formed layers upon layers of watery shields before him, blocking all the Arrows outside.

"Water Flow Whip!"

Whips made entirely of flowing water lashed out in an instant.

Watching several guards who failed to dodge get struck and sent flying more than ten meters before crashing to the ground, their fate unknown, Mo Tang felt a chill run through his entire body.

"Damn! He's that strong?"

An enemy of this level truly was not someone he could handle right now.

Who told him his cheat was merely an auxiliary system, not one of those portable grandpas who could make him don a yellow robe and become a Dou Emperor at any moment...

Fortunately, the Da Dou Shi before them did not seem to be targeting them. After killing several guards and disrupting the Trade Caravan's defenses, he began searching for his true target.

But before those who had narrowly escaped death could breathe a sigh of relief, a group of black-clad men charged over from the distance.

"Kill them! Leave none alive!"

In an instant, battle erupted once more!

Mo Tang's expression darkened. After cutting down a One-star Fighter, he was immediately noticed by the powerful Dou Shi among the black-clad men.

"You're the captain of this Trade Caravan's Guard Squad? You're only a Five-Star Dou Practitioner? How weak... In that case, hand over your life!"

"Hegemon Blade Slash!"

"Bang!"

The fierce Dou Qi slammed into the ground, carving a layer straight off the hard road. Several nearby saplings as thick as arms were also cut cleanly in half.

"You actually dodged that?"

A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, but he immediately sneered and stomped the ground again, shooting forward another dozen meters.

"Kid, it's over!"

With several rapid stomps, the black-robed Dou Shi closed in on Mo Tang. Looking at the youth who had begun fleeing for his life, he grinned savagely.

"Over your mother's ass...!"

Mo Tang cursed outright.

Running was no longer an option. He had not cultivated any movement-type Dou Skills, so he definitely could not match a Dou Shi in speed.

But that did not mean he had no chance...

He swept his gaze over the chaotic battlefield, then toward Mo Ran and that mysterious Da Dou Shi, who had somehow begun fighting in the distance.

Though Mo Ran was only a Nine-Star Dou Shi, he cultivated Earth Attribute Dou Qi, granting him extremely strong defenses. The gray-robed Da Dou Shi, meanwhile, used water-attributed Dou Qi and did not excel in attack. With one gain and one loss, the two could only remain deadlocked for the time being.

The most important thing is to deal with this Dou Shi in front of me!

Seeing Mo Tang stop, apparently ready to fight him to the death, the Black-robed Dou Shi merely burst into laughter without a care.

"Ha ha, you want to make a desperate last stand? You're overthinking it!"

Taking large strides, the Black-robed Dou Shi slowly approached Mo Tang. Once he drew close enough, he suddenly stomped the ground and shot forward, bringing the large saber in his hand down furiously at Mo Tang.

Feeling the sharp force that tore through the air before him, Mo Tang's face turned solemn.

Dou Shi and Dou Zhe were practically two incomparable realms. With his current strength, if he fought head-on, he would struggle to last ten exchanges against the Black-robed Dou Shi.

Relying on the exceptional evasion ability he had gained from tempering his body with Lightning Attribute Dou Qi over the past year...

Mo Tang tilted his body slightly and retreated quickly, dodging the opponent's probing strike.

His feet shifted, and he flashed strangely to the Black-robed Dou Shi's left. Dou Qi surged rapidly within him as he spun the Sharp Spirit Blade in his right hand and viciously chopped down at the other man's head.

The fierce force descending from above did not cause the Black-robed Dou Shi much alarm. He raised his large saber and met the attack head-on.

"Clang!"

The slender Sharp Spirit Blade collided with the opponent's broad saber, sparks flying everywhere as the crisp ring of metal echoed slowly across the battlefield.

This was Mo Tang's first time fighting a Dou Shi, and it allowed him to experience firsthand just how vast a Dou Shi's Dou Qi was.

The powerful force transmitted through the Sharp Spirit Blade forced him back more than ten steps before he could steady himself.

In contrast to Mo Tang's repeated retreat, the Black-robed Dou Shi appeared far more composed. He took only half a step back before firmly stabilizing himself.

"You're quite strong..."

A hint of astonishment flickered in his eyes as the Black-robed Dou Shi stared fixedly at the long blade in Mo Tang's hand. He shook his head in admiration, then glanced at Mo Tang with a cold sneer. "Kid, if that's all you can do, you're dead for sure! But if you know what's good for you, hand me that blade now, and I'll be kind enough to leave you an intact corpse."

Mo Tang shook his slightly numb hand, and icy killing intent flashed through his narrowed eyes.

He slowly raised the Sharp Spirit Blade, let out a long breath, and sneered. "Sure. Kill me, and the blade is yours!"

Having more or less sized up Mo Tang's abilities, the Black-robed Dou Shi shook his head with a disdainful smile. "Stubborn fool! Then don't blame me for chopping you into pieces and throwing you into the mountains to feed the wolves!"

Stomping the ground once more, a savage expression appeared on the Black-robed Dou Shi's face. Seeing Mo Tang still standing there without moving, he instantly raised his large saber and slashed viciously at his neck.

Now!

Just as the blade was about to fall upon him—

Mo Tang, who had been gathering all the Dou Qi within his body from the very beginning, suddenly opened his eyes.

He knew full well that he had only one chance to kill the Dou Shi before him!

"Triple Blade Qi!"

With a low shout, threads of silvery-white lightning instantly flickered across Mo Tang's blade. The moment the lightning appeared, his swinging speed abruptly doubled, and even the energy of heaven and earth around him rippled...

Then three one-foot-long silver blade qis formed in midair. Together with the Sharp Spirit Blade in Mo Tang's hand, they slashed at the Black-robed Dou Shi from four different directions!

"Boom!"

As the sound of thunder fell, dirt shot into the sky from where Mo Tang had been standing.

Immediately afterward, a figure suddenly flew backward out of the dirt. His feet dug hard into the ground, and after skidding back more than ten meters, his body finally slammed heavily into a massive tree...

The huge tree instantly exploded, and only then did the figure slowly come to a stop. It was Mo Tang, his face pale and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth!

"Damn... that hurts!"

Feeling as though his entire body was about to fall apart, Mo Tang gasped sharply and quickly pulled out a healing pill and a Dou Qi recovery pill from his robes, stuffing them into his mouth.

Seeing their captain beaten into such a miserable state, the Mo Clan Guards who had been desperately holding on fell into despair...

Several hot-blooded men who knew they were doomed even roared and charged forward, perishing together with their opponents!
