A Single Strike Kills a Soul King!

It was as ordinary as could be!

Li Tianlan had no idea what Qian Renxue was thinking. He had no intention of letting Javita go. It was not thieves you feared, but those who kept coveting what was yours.

With Javita constantly eyeing him, who knew what other helpers he might bring?

"Screech!"

The longsword formed from Yangquan Fire was scorching hot, and Javita did not dare take it head-on.

He could only dodge in a miserable state. Any Soul Power barrier was like tofu before the Yangquan Fire Sword.

Meanwhile, Li Tianlan grew more excited the longer he fought.

The power of this Yangquan Fire was truly terrifying. It was worthy of being a flame even more dominant than the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

"What kind of soul skill is this?"

Javita felt utterly stifled. As a Soul King, he was being beaten back by a seven- or eight-year-old child, which made him feel terribly humiliated.

Unable to bear it any longer, he shouted, "Kid, who the hell are you?"

"A passerby."

Li Tianlan remained calm. The Yangquan Fire Sword in his hand changed shape, transforming into a massive ruler taller than he was.

Earth-tier Fighting Skill: Flame Splitting Wave Ruler. Once cultivated to mastery, it could split mountains and sever waves with every gesture.

"Boom!"

Using an offensive fighting skill consumed far more Soul Power than Li Tianlan had expected.

With just one move, all the Soul Power in his body was drained dry!

Clearly, this was the result of his lack of combat experience.

But the power of this move was also unimaginably terrifying!

By the standards of Douluo Continent, an Earth-tier fighting skill from Battle Through the Heavens was at least equivalent to a soul skill from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

It might even be a god-level skill!

Thus, when Li Tianlan brought down his ruler, he directly shattered the air.

The terrifying force overwhelmed the Soul King Javita and sent him flying.

At the same time, the horrifying power of the Yangquan Fire erupted, directly burning Javita into charred remains!

"One strike... killed a Soul King?"

"Was this an illusion, or were they dreaming?"

Qian Renxue and Bena were both dumbfounded. If they had not witnessed it with their own eyes, they would certainly have treated such a thing as a joke!

What a joke—a seven- or eight-year-old child had actually killed a Soul King in a single strike?

"Bang!"

Javita's corpse fell to the ground and was gradually burned away into nothing by the Yangquan Fire.

Jarvis had lost all his previous arrogance. He deeply regretted ever provoking Li Tianlan.

Seeing Li Tianlan slowly approach, Jarvis turned and fled without looking back.

But how could Li Tianlan possibly give Jarvis a chance to escape?

Forcing out the last trace of Soul Power, he stepped into Three Thousand Lightning Movement and caught up in an instant.

"Screech!"

The dagger sliced through flesh. Li Tianlan easily slit Jarvis's throat, and his corpse fell to the ground.

After storing the dagger in his Soul Tool, Li Tianlan looked at Bena with a smile and said, "I told you not to follow me. Scared now?"

"I wasn't scared. I was just shocked." Bena gave a bitter smile.

Qian Renxue looked at the Treasure Bag at Li Tianlan's waist and suddenly froze. She recognized this Soul Tool.

Soul Tools were not particularly common across the entire Douluo Continent.

Soul Tools like the Treasure Bag, capable of storing living creatures, were even rarer than phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

The last time she had seen a Treasure Bag was on Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

No one could snatch anything from the hands of a Titled Douluo, so the only explanation was—Dugu Bo had given the Treasure Bag to Li Tianlan.

For the solitary Dugu Bo to give away something so precious...

It meant that Li Tianlan's relationship with Dugu Bo was anything but ordinary.

Could he... be Dugu Bo's grandson?

No, their martial souls were different!

Dugu Bo's martial soul was the Jade Scale Serpent Emperor, while Li Tianlan's martial soul was fire!

No matter what, Qian Renxue had already made up her mind to build a good relationship with Li Tianlan!

After all, based on what Qian Renxue knew of Dugu Bo.

Though she had a solitary personality, she placed great importance on personal bonds.

As long as he could win Li Tianlan over, he would definitely gain Dugu Bo's support and establish a firm foothold in the Heaven Dou Empire.

With that in mind, Qian Renxue stepped forward and smiled at Li Tianlan. "Hello, my name is Qian Renxue."

"Qian Renxue?"

Li Tianlan had long guessed her identity, but hearing her introduce herself in person still made his heart stir with excitement.

He had only watched some anime now and then, but his impression of Qian Renxue was that she would become the future Angel God of Douluo Continent!

One had to know that there would only be three god-level experts in the future.

The first was the protagonist, Sea God Tang San.

The second was Rakshasa God Bibi Dong.

The third was Angel God Qian Renxue!

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were mother and daughter, and Bibi Dong was the Pope of Spirit Hall.

It could be said that with Qian Renxue's support, Li Tianlan could swagger across the entire Douluo Continent.

Even the Upper Three Sects would not dare provoke him!

"You've heard of my name?"

Qian Renxue looked at Li Tianlan curiously.

Other than the Pope and a few Spirit Hall higher-ups, no one should have known her real name.

"Not really. I just thought it was a nice name." Li Tianlan smiled, then said to Qian Renxue, "By the way, thank you for helping me. If you run into anything you can't handle in the future, just call me."

"You?" Qian Renxue looked at Li Tianlan, utterly speechless.

Considering that Li Tianlan had instantly killed a Soul King with a single move, he really was qualified to say that.

Qian Renxue knew her own strength well. Killing Javita would certainly not have been a problem.

But killing him in a single move? That was absolutely impossible.

"That's right!" Li Tianlan was very confident.

His first impression of Qian Renxue was good. Since she had stepped in to help a complete stranger on the road, her heart could not possibly be all that bad.

Beside them, Bena had already skillfully disposed of the corpse.

She walked over and said, "You two, there'll be plenty of time to chat later. We should leave first. The smell of blood could attract powerful Soul Beasts at any moment."

Li Tianlan and Qian Renxue's expressions changed at the same time.

They both realized that this was the Star Dou Great Forest!

Danger lurked everywhere!

It was also a place where Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts were not particularly rare!

They immediately followed Bena and left the scene.

On the way, Li Tianlan asked Qian Renxue curiously, "What are you doing in the Star Dou Great Forest? It doesn't seem like anyone came with you."

"Me? Of course I snuck out."

Qian Renxue blinked, looking immensely proud. "I've already reached level fifty. I was preparing to hunt my fifth Soul Ring by myself!"

Li Tianlan froze when he heard that.

Qian Renxue's rate of advancement was truly astonishing!

She looked no older than fourteen or fifteen, yet she had already reached Soul King!

She truly deserved to be one of the future three god-level experts!

Moreover, Qian Renxue had raised her level through her own hard work, completely unlike Tang San and that protagonist halo of his.

Qian Renxue glanced at Li Tianlan and saw that he was silent.

She then smiled sweetly and asked, "So? Aren't I amazing?"
