Slay Third Elder, Save Earth Dragon Gate
The Holy Spirit Team has indeed left.
After killing one person and scaring away the Heavenly Capital Academy, the Holy Spirit Team did not linger for long and did not seem to have any intention of watching other teams' matches.
Dai Huabin, in particular, didn't watch the game at all and didn't care about his teammates' wins or losses.
What Zhou Huan found even more interesting was that Dai Huabin didn't even glance at Shrek, not even at Huo Gua, whom he hated the most.
So, what kind of shock did this young man experience?
It's important to understand that while Dai Huabin used to have some brains, he wasn't very bright. He seemed to be methodical in his actions, but in reality, he was impulsive, easily angered, and completely disregarded the consequences.
Otherwise, why would they have gone so far as to assassinate Core Disciple of Shrek Academy in Shrek City?
This is Zhou Huan's view of Dai Huabin in the past.
But now, Dai Huabin seems different.
Zhou Huan always felt that he might have accidentally created a demon.
However, even if it's a demon, it doesn't matter; Zhou Huan can still wield the Emperor Sword.
He shook his head, no longer paying attention to Dai Huabin and the Holy Spirit Cult.
At that moment, Zhou Huan saw a familiar face come onto the stage.
Nan Qiuqiu, the young master of the Earth Dragon Gate.
Unfortunately, the Earth Dragon Gate team didn't face the Tang Sect this time, but they did face an extremely strong team— the Snow Demon Sect, which is the Body Sect led by Long Aotian and Vina!
The strongest Earth Dragon Gate is Nan Qiuqiu, High-level Soul King, who is no match for the Body Sect.
Ultimately, unsurprisingly, the Earth Dragon Gate team was eliminated in the first round of the Soul Master Competition in just ten minutes.
Zhou Huan was not concerned about the outcome of the Earth Dragon Gate team's battle; his main goal was to leave some spies among the Earth Dragon Gate Disciple —a few insignificant little ants.
After losing, Earth Dragon Gate will naturally have to leave Mingyue Hotel, and will most likely return directly to Dragon City.
But Zhou Huan knew that at this time, Mingdu was already surrounded by Xu Tianran's large army, and there were even many experts from the Holy Spirit Cult hiding among them.
They allowed entry but not exit, all in order to wipe out all the sects from the Great Emperor of the Original Douluo Continent who came to Mingdu to participate in the competition.
If Earth Dragon Gate were to leave the Mingdu area now, it would be like lambs to the slaughter.
Therefore, Zhou Huan wanted to keep the Earth Dragon Gate in his sights, since he had promised to help the Earth Dragon Gate three times.
Night, Mingyue Hotel.
After watching a few games in the Mingdu East Suburb in the afternoon, Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan returned to the hotel.
As for the team members, Zhou Huan didn't have any requirements. Those who liked watching the game could continue watching, and those who wanted to explore Mingdu could continue Mingdu. As long as they didn't leave the area of Mingdu, it was still quite safe.
After all, the competition has only just begun.
The Holy Spirit Cult also planned to gain fame in one battle, and then gradually become the state religion of the Sun Moon Empire, thus stepping onto the stage of the Douluo Continent.
No one wants to hide in a dark corner forever, being hated by everyone.
The Holy Spirit Cult ultimately has two goals: first, to live in the open like normal sects; and second, to have more influence and a greater voice in the Douluo Continent.
Unfortunately, in Zhou Huan's view, both of the Holy Spirit Cult's goals were unattainable.
This isn't a matter of strength. If we're talking about strength, the Holy Spirit Cult currently has two Limit Douluo, more than three Super Douluo, and over ten Titled Douluo.
With such combat power, they could easily attack Shrek.
Why then does the Holy Spirit Cult choose to hide in the Demonic Forest, afraid to emerge?
It's because their Martial Soul is not accepted by the world.
This is why Zhong Liwu, the Holy Spirit Cult Leader, chose to cooperate with Xu Tianran, first making it the state religion of the empire, and then gradually bringing it into the open. He even planned to eventually seize control of the Sun Moon Empire.
However, in Zhou Huan's opinion, Zhong Liwu underestimated Xu Tianran and Ju Zi.
Of course, all of that is a story for later. Right now, the most important thing is for Zhou Huan to protect the group from the Earth Dragon Gate.
Therefore, after returning to the Mingyue Hotel from the East Suburb Arena in the afternoon, Zhou Huan only spent two hours with Zhang Lexuan before going back to her room.
He also had to keep a close eye on the movements of the Earth Dragon Gate.
What Zhou Huan didn't expect was that the Earth Dragon Gate left in such a hurry.
After losing the match in the afternoon, Mingyue Hotel naturally stopped providing them with free accommodation.
But Nan Shuishui, you left too quickly! Your Earth Dragon Gate isn't short of money; did you really need to leave overnight?
Zhou Huan knew that Nan Shuishui and Huo Gua had already reached an agreement on the Extreme Ice Divine Crystal deal.
Left with no other option, Zhou Huan quickly left the Mingrui Hotel, heading in the direction the Earth Dragon Gate had gone.
Zhou Huan had originally planned that if Nan Shuishui and the others wanted to leave Mingdu, he could take them away tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, this Earth Dragon Gate is someone who doesn't want to stay in Mingdu even for one more night.
It is located 300 li to the east of the Mingdu City.
Nan Shuishui was leading Nan Qiuqiu and a dozen other Disciple of the Earth Dragon Gate, flying in Flying Soul Tool towards the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Nan Qiuqiu asked, somewhat puzzled, "Mom, why are we in such a hurry to go back? I haven't had a proper look around Mingdu yet."
Upon hearing this, Nan Shuishui glared at Nan Qiuqiu with annoyance. "You have the nerve to say that? You traveled all this way to participate in the competition, only to be eliminated in the very first round."
Nan Qiuqiu naturally objected. "The Snow Demon Sect is so strong, all of them are Soul Emperor. How can I, a Soul King, possibly fight them?"
Nan Shuishui: "Hehe, the opponent is strong, but what kind of tactics did you arrange? It's practically a free kill. You don't even understand how to fight. Aren't you going home? Staying here for the New Year? Your mother can't afford to lose face like that. Heavenly Dragon Gate made it into the second round of the Elimination Match without any trouble. I don't want to see their smug faces, so let's hurry up and leave. Out of sight, out of mind."
Nan Qiuqiu: "... But they were already stronger than us."
Nan Shuishui was speechless after hearing this. It would be better to have a piece of barbecued pork than to have this stupid daughter.
Just as Nan Shuishui was about to curse Nan Qiuqiu, suddenly, with a loud "crack," a bolt of black lightning struck head-on!
Nan Shuishui immediately activated her Rouge Dragon Martial Soul Avatar, and with a grab of her Annihilation Hand, she finally managed to block the terrifying black lightning with a loud "boom".
However, when Nan Shuishui looked at her right palm, there was a noticeable black bloodstain there.
With just one strike, he actually injured her in her Martial Soul Avatar state, and her Annihilation Light had no effect whatsoever.
The newcomer is... Titled Douluo!
Just as Nan Shuishui was thinking this, eight figures suddenly appeared in front of the Earth Dragon Gate group.
The leader was a black-robed man with an ugly face and effeminate features.
Nan Shuishui was taken aback when she saw the person in front of her, then angrily asked, "Ming Lei, what do you want to do?"
This person is none other than the Third Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, a level 92 Titled Douluo, the Nether Thunder Douluo!
"Hahaha!"
A sharp laugh rang out from the Nether Thunder Douluo, followed by a lick of his lips. He said, "Of course, I'm inviting you to be my guest, Shui Shui."
Nan Shuishui got goosebumps watching this, but Ming Lei was too strong. Behind him were seven experts at least at the Soul Sage level, which was far beyond what she could handle with just a dozen or so Earth Dragon Gate Disciple.
Therefore, even when facing the disgusting Nether Thunder Douluo, Nan Shuishui could not provoke him in a short time.
Therefore, Nan Shuishui had no choice but to say, "Ming Lei, this is a matter between you and me, and has nothing to do with these children."
Now, Nan Shuishui only hopes that Ming Lei will let Nan Qiuqiu and the others go; she's prepared to fight to the death if necessary.
However, Nether Thunder Douluo chuckled evilly again and continued, "You really are stupid. No one from your Earth Dragon Gate is leaving today."
After saying that, the Nether Thunder Douluo unleashed streaks of black lightning from his entire body, like thunder from hell, and charged straight at Nan Shuishui!
The seven men in black behind him also attacked simultaneously, attempting to capture all the Earth Dragon Gate Disciple alive.
Seeing this, Nan Shuishui naturally had no intention of surrendering.
Her Eighth Soul Ring flashed with black light, and an annihilating storm instantly swept across an area of a hundred meters!
However, the Annihilation Storm, though powerful, only hindered the progress of the seven Soul Sages.
"Boom--!" A thunderous sound rang out, and the black lightning of the Nether Thunder Douluo directly pierced through the Annihilation Storm, arriving in front of Nan Shuishui in an instant!
Seeing the black lightning so close at hand, Nan Shuishui felt a threat of death. Just as she was about to unleash all her Annihilation Light and perish together with Qiuqiu, even if she couldn't win, she had to fight for their lives, a chilling cold suddenly spread throughout her body!
The next second, the area within a 200-meter radius suddenly transformed into a world of ice and snow!
Although it was night, Nan Shuishui felt as if she were standing in the snow and ice of daytime.
Immediately afterward, before Nan Shuishui could think any further, she saw the seven black-clad men at the Soul Sage level turn into white mist under streaks of white ice light.
Yes, it was white mist, not blood mist, as if they weren't human, but rather a piece of ice and snow melting away.
Only the Nether Thunder Douluo managed to block the icy attack!
However, it was precisely because of this unexpected attack that Nether Thunder Douluo lost an arm, and his Soul Tool was shattered into pieces!
Before he could even see who was coming, he lost an arm, and all the Soul Tool on his body were destroyed in the process of blocking that attack. Keep in mind, besides being Titled Douluo, he was also a Rank 9 Soul Master!
Even so, he was already seriously injured without even seeing the enemy's face.
How could this not terrify the Nether Thunder Douluo!
Immediately, he didn't care who the person was or how to capture the people from the Earth Dragon Gate. He immediately used his ninth Soul Skill — Nether Thunder Escape!
This is a very powerful escape skill; it allows you to transform into lightning and flee hundreds of miles away!
However, Nether Thunder Douluo was still too naive.
At this moment, he was already within a 200-meter-wide domain, which was the domain fusion technique of Zhou Huan's Ice Qilin Cold Domain Emperor's Cold Heaven's Snow Dance Radiant Sun - Snow Dance Ice Qilin Domain!
Therefore, even the Nether Thunder Douluo, who had transformed into lightning, was frozen in mid-air like a flying fish in the next second!
Immediately afterwards, a figure in green appeared before the ice sculpture of Nether Thunder Douluo. In those complex eyes, filled with fear, resentment, and a hint of confusion, a Snow Palm gently clapped!
"Bang--!"
A soft, discreet sound of ice shattering rang out, and the dignified level 92, Rank 9 Soul Master, Nether Thunder Douluo, was instantly reduced to dust.
There wasn't even a trace left.
Then, the entire Ice-Snow World disappeared again.
Only Nan Shuishui and a dozen or so Disciple of the Earth Dragon Gate Sect remained at the scene, along with a man in blue robes wearing a half-mask.
As for the Nether Thunder Douluo and the seven Evil Soul Master he brought, it was as if they had never existed.
