Mu En VS Righteous Qi Xuan Zi

The outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest were in ruins.

Righteous Qi Xuan Zi hovered in mid-air, his body radiating holy golden light, like a Deity Descended.

He didn't attack immediately. A subtle, almost imperceptible fluctuation flickered in his indifferent eyes.

He spoke slowly, his voice vast and majestic.

"You, why do you associate with that evil?"

"As an Elder of Shrek, as Taotie Douluo, when evil appeared, you not only failed to join me in suppressing it, but you attacked me instead."

"Tell me, what exactly are you thinking in your heart?"

"Ha... haha... hahahaha!"

Original Xuan Zi propped up his heavily injured body and staggered to his feet. His hair was disheveled, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he looked like a madman.

He raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Righteous Qi Xuan Zi above. His laughter was filled with self-mockery and rage.

"What am I thinking?"

"Does this Old Man need to explain himself to you, an Imposter?!"

He pointed sharply at Righteous Qi Xuan Zi, then vaguely towards the direction where Evil Qi Xuan Zi had disappeared, roaring.

"You two are monsters that shouldn't exist in this world! One is a sanctimonious Hypocrite, the other a complete Madman! How dare you wear my face and act so arrogantly here?"

"I am the true Xuan Zi! The one and only Taotie Douluo! You... all of you should disappear!"

After hearing this, Righteous Qi Xuan Zi fell silent.

A hint of contemplation actually appeared on his usually placid face.

A moment later, he slowly nodded.

"I understand."

"Your existence is inherently Imperfect. Your heart is filled with Irritability, Greed, and Disregard for rules. These Impurities caused you to make the wrong choice when facing right and wrong, even becoming an Accomplice to evil."

"Since that is the case..."

The last trace of fluctuation in Righteous Qi Xuan Zi's eyes vanished, replaced by extreme indifference and resolve.

"I will thoroughly purify you, returning you to your purest Origin. From now on, I will bear the name Xuan Zi and protect this continent."

As soon as he finished speaking, golden light erupted from behind him!

An incredibly solid and sacred golden Taotie Phantom appeared. It was no longer a mere condensation of Soul Power, but like a true Divine Beast descending, exuding a terrifying pressure that purified and cleansed everything!

Golden light Taotie Avatar!

Righteous Qi Xuan Zi raised his hand, and a Sword of Judgment formed from pure light took shape in his hand, aimed at the Original Xuan Zi below, who was already powerless to resist.

He intended to thoroughly purify this "Imperfect" original body!

"Stop!"

At this critical moment, an ancient and majestic roar, like rolling heavenly thunder, exploded from the sky!

A figure appeared between Righteous Qi Xuan Zi and Original Xuan Zi without any warning.

The newcomer was Mu En!

Mu En didn't even glance at Xuan Zi on the ground. His deep, profound eyes stared intently at Righteous Qi Xuan Zi and the sacred golden Taotie behind him.

"Stop it."

Mu En's voice was very calm, but the oppressive power contained within it was exceptionally terrifying.

Righteous Qi Xuan Zi frowned as he looked at the suddenly appearing Mu En. He could feel a power from the other party that was enough to contend with him, and even... faintly surpass him.

But he did not retreat, merely replying indifferently.

"This person is a Heretic. I must purify him."

"Insolent!"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Mu En's eyes, and he stopped wasting words.

"Reign Over the World!"

This was Mu En's Self-Created Soul Skill, fusing mental power and physical attack.

"Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Split!"

Righteous Qi Xuan Zi's expression changed. The Sword of Judgment in his hand instantly met the attack.

"Boom--!!!"

An extremely dull, heavy roar.

The Sword of Judgment shattered inch by inch, turning into countless specks of light.

Righteous Qi Xuan Zi's body trembled violently, flying backward for a hundred meters before he barely managed to stabilize himself. The golden light on the arm that held his sword flickered unstably; it was clear he had suffered a great loss in this exchange.

His gaze towards Mu En finally carried a hint of solemnity.

Was the gap between them truly this large?

Righteous Qi Xuan Zi and Mu En exchanged silent glances for a moment. He knew that with the Sea God Pavilion Master present, he wouldn't be able to purify his imperfect self today.

His strength was inferior to Mu En's.

He cast a deep look at the grim-faced Mu En, then glanced at the Original Xuan Zi on the ground, glaring at him.

In the end, he said nothing. His figure flickered, transforming into a golden light, and he shot away in the opposite direction of Evil Qi Xuan Zi.

Only when that sacred aura completely disappeared did Mu En slowly turn around and look at the disheveled Xuan Zi behind him.

"Xuan Zi, what exactly happened?"

"Mu... Elder Mu..."

Seeing Mu En, Xuan Zi's unwillingness and anger instantly turned into a flood of grievances and frustration. Gritting his teeth, he recounted the entire story, even mentioning how Huo Hao dared to refuse him.

If Huo Hao hadn't restrained him for a fraction of a second, he wouldn't have been unable to catch them, let alone jump into that strange small river.

He also recounted the excessive things the two Xuan Zi had done to him, calling them inhuman! And now, the result was that both Righteous Qi Xuan Zi and Evil Qi Xuan Zi had escaped.

Not far away, Beibei, who had just returned, felt his head splitting with pain as he listened to the account.

He held his forehead, his mind in chaos.

Three Huo Yuhao could coexist peacefully.

But why, when it came to Elder Xuan, did it turn into an all-out, never-ending battle?

What was this situation!

And now, one Xuan Zi representing ultimate justice and another representing ultimate evil had just left.

With their strength as Super Douluo (s) and their extremely stubborn personalities, it was foreseeable that the future situation on the Douluo Continent (s) would inevitably become chaotic because of their appearance.

Mu En listened to Xuan Zi's account and remained silent for a long time.

His deep gaze finally settled on the small river not far away, which looked ordinary but now seemed incredibly bizarre.

In the sunlight, the River Water (s) flowed quietly, sparkling, showing no signs of abnormality.

"Beibei."

Mu En suddenly spoke.

"Great-grandfather."

Beibei quickly stepped forward.

Mu En's gaze remained fixed on the small river as he slowly asked.

"You mean, as long as I jump into this river, I'll become three?"

"Y-yes, Huo Yuhao did, and Elder Xuan did too."

Beibei hesitated for a moment before giving a positive reply.

"Three..."

Mu En murmured softly, his eyes flashing with thoughtful light.

One main body, one extreme light side, and one extreme dark side?

Interesting.

He suddenly reached out his hand, and a soul bone that was entirely black and emitted fluctuations of the metal attribute appeared in his hand.

It was a torso bone, and a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone at that.

Then, under the astonished gazes of Beibei and Xuan Zi, he casually tossed the incredibly precious soul bone towards the calm small river.

Plop.

The soul bone fell into the water, and without causing much of a splash, it disappeared beneath the river's surface.
