Dog Man

"Snow Empress, go and stop him."

"What?"

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Snow Empress's cool and aloof face.

Although she hadn't spent much time interacting with people, her hundreds of thousands of years of life hadn't been wasted; her insightful and meticulous nature far surpassed that of Ah Yin.

Qian Renxue's expression and attitude just now clearly didn't mean that.

"Don't let that person come to the island."

"But..."

"Don't make me angry."

Qian Renxue's voice grew colder, and the blazing white flames in her eyes flickered, sending a chill down Snow Empress's spine.

Qian Renxue was in such a state that she had never seen before, and she immediately dared not say anything more.

The powerful force hidden deep within the other person's body seemed to be beginning to stir.

Looking at the familiar Sea God Island in front of him, Su Cheng took a deep breath.

The slightly salty, moist sea breeze rushed into his chest, giving him a sense of familiarity.

Almost two months have passed since I left the Blue Silver Grass Forest.

After all, they didn't know Qian Renxue's exact whereabouts before, so they could only search blindly like headless flies.

He had explored the Two Empires, numerous duchies, and even ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest several times, yet he still couldn't sense the presence of the other party.

Fortunately, he didn't come away completely empty-handed in the process.

Not only did he overcome the final barrier in his relationship with Ah Yin, but he also gained considerable benefits in the process.

Ah Yin possesses unique attributes, exhibiting an extremely strong capacity for nurturing and supporting. While enhancing Su Cheng's physique and True Power, she also significantly accelerated the progress of the complete fusion of his soul and body.

After the two completed a true physical fusion, the deep energy infusion brought him far more help than the previous assistance from Soul Power.

Su Cheng estimated that at this rate of progress, he would be able to break through the final hurdle in just one or two months.

When that time comes, he will be able to enter a new realm, and the speed at which his power increases will also take another step forward.

Once the physical body has reached the limit of the power it can bear, one can begin to prepare to shatter the final Seventh Soul Ring and attempt a subsequent breakthrough.

He came to Sea God Island on a whim, but he never expected to actually find Qian Renxue's whereabouts.

This gain actually surprised him somewhat.

This place seems completely unrelated to Qian Renxue.

"Are you sure you can do it? Is there anything I can help you with?"

At that moment, a phantom figure appeared beside Su Cheng.

The person speaking was Ah Yin.

Her true form is currently residing within the Longevity Sword; what she is currently doing is merely Soul Power clone constructed using the power of her domain.

"No need, I'll explain it to her."

"But..."

Upon hearing this Ah Yin hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"What's wrong?" Su Cheng turned to look at her.

"It's nothing." Ah Yin shook her head. "Those things between us, maybe we should just keep them from her, so she won't be sad anymore. Sigh, perhaps..."

As she spoke, her voice lowered again.

To say things like "We were wrong to do this" or "I'm sorry, Qian Renxue" now would seem insincere and hypocritical.

Although sometimes I wonder if my relationship with Su Cheng is progressing too fast, I should at least wait for his situation with Qian Renxue to stabilize first. I really shouldn't let him act recklessly.

However, in the past period of time, faced with Su Cheng's relentless pressure, she couldn't help but soften her heart and couldn't refuse him firmly.

Not to mention...

Ah Yin's mind was filled with the various techniques the other person had used in bed.

At first, it made her feel very embarrassed, and even a little angry and dissatisfied.

But when she actually tried it, and then enjoyed, indulged in, and gradually lost herself in the process, she experienced countless indescribable and unimaginable joys.

If asked to give up now, she would absolutely not be willing.

"Hiding things from us? What, do you want to be a secret lover?" Su Cheng chuckled.

"What do you mean by 'secret lover'? That sounds so awful." Ah Yin pouted. "What I mean is, you should just apologize to Qian Renxue properly. Don't say anything else that's irrelevant, and don't worry about my feelings. I don't really care about these things."

"Don't worry, I won't hide your existence. However, I need to calm her down first." Su Cheng's smile faded, and his expression became serious. "You don't need to feel guilty. This is something I had to face sooner or later. I've delayed it for too long."

At this point, he suddenly turned his head, his expression becoming serious, "Someone's coming, you should go back first."

"..."

Not long after Ah Yin's figure disappeared, a figure emerged from the vast forest of Sea God Island ahead.

Not those Sea God Warriors who patrol Sea God Island year-round.

Instead, she was a beautiful young woman wearing a plain white dress, with long white hair reaching her ankles, and a cool and exquisite appearance.

With her arrival, the warm, humid air seemed to turn cold and dry, and the wind suddenly became much more biting.

Please wait a moment.

Snow Empress parted her red lips slightly, looked at Su Cheng with indifferent eyes, and said calmly.

As she looked at the man not far ahead, a surge of curiosity welled up inside her.

She couldn't see through this person.

Both his cultivation level and age seem to be shrouded in a mist, making him even more mysterious than Qian Renxue.

She had never seen anyone like this before.

It has been more than half a year since Xue Di left the Northernmost Land and entered the human world with Qian Renxue. Snow Empress believes that she has gained a lot of understanding of the human world.

She has a strong learning and comprehension ability; she can understand the general idea of many things after only glancing at them a few times.

She used to despise humans, believing that this race was selfish and greedy, and that they regarded other races as food, always wantonly invading and disturbing the territories of other races.

But upon closer inspection, she discovered that the world was completely different from what she had originally perceived.

Humans possess immense creativity and are constantly changing the natural environment.

Perhaps this is why this naturally weak race has been able to grow at such an astonishing rate and rule over most of the world's territories.

Although she didn't say it, she was actually gradually being drawn to this new world.

Compared to the monotonous and unchanging Northernmost Icefield, the outside world is very different.

The unknown is both frightening and alluring.

"Soul Beast?"

Standing opposite, Su Cheng recognized Snow Empress's identity at a glance and wondered to himself how she had gotten involved with Qian Renxue.

Without any hesitation, he asked bluntly, "Why aren't you staying in your own territory? Why have you come to the human world? What is your relationship with Qian Renxue?"

The relationship between the other party and Xiao Xue will determine Su Cheng's next course of action.

If it were just a coincidence, that would be one thing, but if it were a friend, he wouldn't hurt the Soul Beast in front of him too badly, even if it was for Qian Renxue's sake.

I felt a sense of relief; I never expected that Xiao Xue, with her personality, would actually learn to make friends.

Although it's a Soul Beast friend.

Upon hearing this, a hint of anger flashed in Snow Empress's eyes.

The other party's words and questions clearly showed that they didn't take me seriously.

It's one thing that Qian Renxue is powerful, but what does this person rely on? Faced with my undisguised powerful aura, he still acts as if he's talking and laughing.

But she didn't react immediately. She simply said in a calm voice, "You're here to see her? Then you can go back. She doesn't want to see you."

"..."

Su Cheng glanced at her, said nothing, and walked towards the island on his own.

Only after getting close did they slightly detour around the other party, but they did not allow the other party to obstruct them.

Seeing this, Snow Empress could no longer contain her emotions.

As the absolute ruler of the Northernmost Land, how many dare to disregard her majesty like this?!

The next moment, a terrifying cold wave spread outwards from her body.

The damp air condensed into flakes of ice and snow, covering her body and transforming into a pure white gown.

Her deep blue eyes, like ancient ice, appeared even clearer and more profound, as if they could illuminate the heavens and the earth.

Her long, white hair, reaching her ankles, turned into an icy blue, fluttering wildly behind her.

A powerful aura, comparable to that of Peerless Douluo, swept across the entire island without restraint.

Sea God Mountain

Bo Saixi's eyes trembled slightly as she watched the scene unfolding at the edge of the island, noticing the two people facing off against each other.

The powerful Soul Beast that followed Qian Renxue, and... Su Cheng.

Her body twitched slightly involuntarily, but she immediately stopped in place, her expression shifting as if she were thinking about something.

Beneath the Seven Sacred Pillars scattered throughout Sea God Island, several Sacred Pillar Douluo also sensed the astonishing aura emanating from them, their eyes showing a hint of helplessness.

Here we go again.

The once peaceful and stable Sea God Island has been plagued by a series of unexpected events in recent years.

There are also many peerless experts whose strength is comparable to that of High Priest.

First, a few years ago, the young man brought back by the High Priest caused a great disturbance on the island and then escaped unscathed. Even the High Priest couldn't do anything to him and seemed to have suffered a small loss.

More than half a year ago, another Soul Grandmaster with Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul arrived. His strength was also extremely terrifying. Title-level Sacred Pillar Douluo couldn't even withstand a single move from him.

The other woman beside that man, though she didn't make a move, also gave off an extremely terrifying feeling.

What happened today?

It looks like a fight is about to break out again?

And judging from the looks of it, it seems that the one who made the move was that cold-looking white-haired woman.

Unfortunately, the environment there was completely shrouded in ice and snow, and with their level of Spiritual Power, they could not see the details at all.

However, at this moment, these people could only sigh inwardly, and had no interest in making a move or watching the show.

Whatever the situation is over there, it's clearly beyond their capabilities to handle.

If Bo Saixi chooses to intervene, they will naturally not stand idly by.

But since the High Priest hasn't spoken, there's probably no problem, so there's no need to humiliate ourselves further.

Ring Island Sea God Mountain, Qian Renxue also unconsciously clenched her fists, her eyes shimmering as she silently gazed into the distance.

She looked at Su Cheng, at the man she had been longing for day and night.

The shore of the island.

Facing the Snow Empress who attacked directly, Su Cheng narrowed his eyes, and then the Longevity Sword appeared in his hand.

With the emergence of Martial Soul and Soul Ring, the corresponding "Soul Saint" level cultivation level was also revealed.

"Soul Saint with only one Soul Ring? And this Soul Ring..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Snow Empress's eyes; she was somewhat puzzled by Su Cheng's current cultivation level.

She also had some understanding of the human Soul Master cultivation system.

From the first ring to the ninth ring, each step is a distinct stage, clearly defining the human cultivation system. To date, there seems to be no other case like this.

Even with Qian Renxue's strength, she is only far superior to others of the same level. On the surface, she is still a Soul Douluo with eight Soul Rings, and she will even absorb her Ninth Soul Ring to advance to Titled Douluo.

But what's going on with this person? Where did all the Soul Ring go?

Moreover, this Soul Ring looked somewhat special; its aura was pure, and its color was pale pink, unlike the Soul Ring that she knew of formed after Soul Beast died.

However, no matter how unique the Soul Ring are, he is still just a minor Soul Saint.

As for the concealment of his aura earlier, it was probably due to this special Soul Ring.

Even so, Snow Empress was not too careless. After witnessing Qian Renxue's extraordinary abilities, she had become somewhat easily frightened.

Her slender, fair hand slowly rose.

The endless snow and ice swirling wildly in the air suddenly began to rotate rhythmically with her movements, forming tornadoes, and the temperature within arm's reach plummeted.

In such an environment, even boiling water will freeze into ice in an instant.

This palm strike was not Snow Empress's ultimate move; it was merely a common probing attack.

Although she didn't know what relationship this person had with Qian Renxue, they obviously knew each other, so she wouldn't go so far as to kill him outright.

On the other side, Su Cheng's pupils simultaneously reflected the breathtaking scenery of swirling snow and drifting frost.

Amidst this beautiful scenery, the delicate fingers of this stunning beauty conceal a chilling and terrifying killing intent!

This palm strike possessed unparalleled power. Although it was casually unleashed, its might was comparable to a full-force attack from Peak Douluo. At least, Soul Master of Tang Hao's level would be instantly killed without any chance of survival in the face of such an attack.

But without a doubt, this move is no match for Su Cheng now.

He frowned, raised his sword, and prepared to cleave through the snowstorm before heading to find Qian Renxue.

However, just as he was about to strike, a sudden thought struck him, and he withdrew most of his True Power, using only the strength of Soul Saint to defend himself. Moreover, he merely defended, without the slightest intention of retaliating.

His True Power was perfectly integrated with his body, and his movements were as natural as breathing. Outsiders could not fathom the depth of his power.

Snow Empress naturally didn't notice the change in Su Cheng's aura at all, and didn't think that he would dare to hold back his power in the face of such a powerful attack.

The next moment, the sword blade collided with the palm, and Su Cheng's face turned deathly pale.

The blood that had just flowed from his mouth and nose immediately froze into ice, hanging on his face and looking somewhat ridiculous.

His entire body was sent flying and crashed to the ground. He only managed to avoid looking too disheveled by crouching down on the Longevity Sword.

His face was ashen and he was barely breathing; it was clear at a glance that he had suffered a severe injury.

Seeing that Su Cheng was so easily injured by her, Snow Empress immediately frowned.

This attack was merely a test, and she only used a portion of her power. It was not difficult for her to withdraw her power, and the blizzard quickly dissipated.

She glanced at the listless Su Cheng, a hint of disdain flickering in her cold eyes. "I thought you had some real strength, to have such audacity, but it turns out you're just a mere Soul Saint. In the end, you're only relying on—"

"Who told you to hurt him?!"

Before Snow Empress could finish speaking, a sword light slashed mercilessly from afar, aiming straight for her vital parts.

The intense Killing Intent contained within it startled Snow Empress, who quickly dodged it.

At the same time, a huge, bottomless crack appeared on the ground, just a hair's breadth away from where Snow Empress was standing.

This sword was aimed at taking her life!

Even with Snow Empress's detached nature, she couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment and grievance at this moment.

You clearly told me to stop this guy, but he insisted on coming over, and he's not strong enough. What could I do?

Do I have to coax him off the island?

Thinking of this, she glared at Su Cheng again, a surge of anger rising in her heart.

No wonder!

No wonder this guy dared to act like this despite having no real strength, looking completely unscrupulous. It turns out he's relying on Qian Renxue as his backer!

But Qian Renxue had just emerged from the woods, clearly had no intention of paying attention to Snow Empress's feelings.

The next moment, she transformed into two figures and flew to Su Cheng's side, supporting him on both sides and continuously pouring Soul Power into his body.

"Is your injury still not healed?"

"Are you stupid? Why didn't you fight back!"

"Xiao Xue." Su Cheng looked at them, a smile in his eyes as he breathed heavily, and said, "Since she is your friend, then no matter what, I cannot lay a hand on her. Besides, this matter is not her fault; I was indeed ungrateful, and she was only doing it for your own good."

"You..."

Upon hearing this, both the Black-Clothed Qian Renxue, who maintained a cold and composed demeanor, and the White-Clothed Qian Renxue, whose eyes were lowered in longing, had their eyes redden at the same time.

Snow Empress: "..."

This man is such a scoundrel.
