Du Busi Slayed Xuan Zi Before the Wine Cooled
Snow Empress, whose full name is Heavenly Snow Woman, is known as the leader of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.
Its cultivation level far surpasses that of ordinary Ferocious Beast; even Limit Douluo would have to treat it with caution.
Du Busi was confident he could escape from him, but that didn't mean the Golden Body and the other Titled Douluo of his Body Sect could either.
If Xuan Zi hadn't gone too far, he wouldn't have been forced to be killed even if the Du Busi n't killed him. The Heavenly Soul Empire lost several Titled Douluo and almost captured that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, only to be overpowered by Xuan Zi. It's truly a reversal of the natural order!
The Body Sect has always been the one robbing others, but now the tables have turned, even arousing suspicion from the Heavenly Soul Royal Family Body Sect. If this grudge isn't avenged, how can the Body Sect maintain its standing on the continent?
"Sect Master, the snow seems to be getting heavier."
The Golden Body Douluo looked out of the cave. They didn't know much about the Far North, but they knew it wasn't the right time to set off. It wasn't that they were afraid of the cold; such weather was too beneficial to the Soul Beast of the Far North.
"Jin Peng, when did you become so cautious? We have so many Titled Douluo; as long as we don't encounter those Three Great Heavenly Kings, why do we need to be so cautious?"
The speaker was an elderly man, emaciated as a rake, with deep-set eyes that seemed to be set in his jawbone, and a tall body that appeared to be devoid of any flesh. His Martial Soul was his own bones, and his Soul Power was level 94, just one step away from becoming Super Douluo.
He wasn't originally on the list of those who wanted to kill Xuan Zi. In Du Busi's opinion, level 94 strength was still too weak, and he might die from Xuan Zi's counterattack if he wasn't careful.
But this old man gave a reason that Du Busi couldn't refuse: in a life-or-death battle with Xuan Zi, who was at level 98, he broke through the bottleneck and became Super Douluo.
It's always better to be cautious.
Du Busi quickly finished the roasted meat, then gestured to everyone to change into a black robe that could completely cover their bodies—a necessary step in every operation of his Body Sect.
The goal of this ambush on Xuan Zi is to keep it a secret from the Sea God Pavilion for as long as possible. After all, Shrek has a foundation spanning ten thousand years, and its Titled Douluo may not be less than that of the Body Sect.
Fortunately, that Dragon God Douluo has been out of the public eye for too long and is most likely dead. Xuan Zi is currently Shrek's strongest fighter. Only after realizing that Du Busi him did we dare to attack him.
"Something's wrong, Sect Master!"
After changing his clothes, the Golden Body Douluo looked out of the cave again. But what he saw was alarming; he spotted a hazy figure slowly walking towards him through the snow. This was definitely not a good sign.
In this weather, there are almost no people like them; if we exclude people...
Soul Beast!
Humanity—could it be that of the Heavenly Snow Woman, the Snow Empress?
Everyone else, including Du Busi, was on high alert. If the visitor was just an ordinary person seeking shelter from the snow, they could simply knock them unconscious before they noticed them. But if it was Soul Beast...
None of them spoke, but they all understood everything from the wary glances in each other's eyes.
The gray figure drew closer, and the Golden Body Douluo subconsciously activated his Soul Power, ready to strike with lightning speed the moment he could make a clear look.
"The aroma of the meat is getting weaker and weaker. Am I too late?"
Xuan Zi frowned. Starving, he had already done his best to get here as quickly as possible. If he hadn't been worried about being too conspicuous by flying, he would have arrived long ago.
Now that they were getting closer to the core area of Far North, even with his superior Soul Power, he couldn't help but become cautious. Although he spoke as if he wasn't afraid of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, who can't talk big?
"Alright, let's go inside to shelter from the wind and snow, heat up some chicken legs and wine, treat ourselves to a meal, and then we can set off."
As they drew closer, Xuan Zi noticed the group of people waiting in the cave, but he didn't care. Who would dare come here without a bit of vigilance?
"Gentlemen inside, may I come in and rest for a while?"
Xuan Zi's rough voice traveled into the cave through his Soul Power.
The moment Du Busi and Golden Body Douluo heard it, they both felt a sense of familiarity. They exchanged a glance and both revealed a meaningful expression.
Xuan Zi!
"Sect Master, this has come to us so easily! What should we do? Should we make our move now?"
Golden-bodied Douluo Jinpeng immediately used his soul power to transmit a message to Du Busi.
Du Busi pulled up his hood, concealing his striking green hair, and replied calmly, "Don't rush. This black robe is made of silk from a ten-thousand-year-old Mo Yuan Silkworm. Xuan Zi won't recognize us. Taking action now will inevitably result in casualties. Let's act according to the situation."
Jin Peng couldn't help but sigh, "The sect leader is indeed the sect leader; he's rough around the edges but meticulous at heart, and he figured this out in an instant." With that in mind, he decisively sent a telepathic message to his colleagues, reminding them to remain calm.
Du Busi nodded secretly, then lowered his voice and replied to the people outside the cave, "Friends outside, with such a heavy snowstorm, why bother with formalities when we've met before? Come in quickly and let's drink and eat meat together."
As the sect leader of the Body Sect, he knew Xuan Zi quite well. Xuanzi loved to get drunk and act crazy, and if there was no alcohol, he would be even crazier.
"Haha, if that's the case, then this old man will shamelessly come in."
Xuan Zi was already starving, and coupled with the flaws in his own Martial Soul, even though he was initially somewhat wary, the fact that he Du Busi caused him to lose most of his vigilance.
My own wine can't compare to the aroma of others', not to mention it's all frozen solid.
"Quickly, warm some wine to 'entertain' this friend."
Du Busi patted the Golden Body Douluo on the shoulder, but now held a green jade bottle in his hand. He transmitted his voice, "This is my natal poison. Be careful not to add too much. Xuan Zi is a drunkard; adding too much might get him exposed."
"It's the sect leader!" Jin Peng took the green bottle and immediately went to the campfire, taking out a large jug of the famous fine wine from Heaven Dou City from his Soul Tool.
"Go and grill some more meat. Tonight, I'm going to drink myself into a stupor with this friend," Du Busi said with a laugh, ordering the withered old man who had been grilling meat earlier.
"How could I possibly accept this?"
Xuan Zi laughed heartily, already having stepped halfway into the cave, his eyes constantly scanning Du Busi and the others.
Is it unwilling to reveal its true nature? Its cultivation level is still undetectable; all that can be known is that its Soul Power is not weak. It's likely that the black robe conceals most of its Soul Power.
Xuan Zi narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything more. Shrek also had this kind of thing. Although it wasn't cheap, it wasn't exactly rare either.
"No matter what, we still can't let our guard down."
Xuan Zi thought to himself, as someone who has lived for hundreds of years, although he occasionally makes mistakes, he still has this much insight.
After a while.
"Haha, Brother Du, you have no idea how brave I was back in the day. I led my classmates to sweep through the Soul Master Tournament."
Xuan Zi held a cow leg that was half his size and tore into it, taking large bites. He had already emptied countless cups of wine in front of him. His only complaint was that they used small cups to drink here, and he finished each cup quickly, unable to drink freely at all.
"Xuan Zi, aren't you still brave now? I heard that your Shrek even stole a treasure from the Heavenly Soul Empire, and no one dared to hold you accountable."
Du Busi refilled Xuan Zi's cup with wine, secretly estimating the time before speaking calmly.
Xuan Zi raised his wine cup again and drank it all in one gulp, letting out a loud burp. He immediately replied, "Brother Du, how did you know? To be honest, I had to personally go and get that treasure."
By now, we've had several rounds of drinks. What's the one thing that's always present at the table?
Of course it's just bragging!
Xuan Zi was naturally a master at it. Since these people were complete strangers, what was wrong with making up a lie and putting on an act?
"Then that's correct."
A Du Busi flashed in Du Busi's eyes. He rolled his eyes and gave Jin Peng and the others a look, instantly lowering the atmosphere in the cave to freezing point.
Xuan Zi also sensed something was wrong and used his Soul Power to dispel the intoxication.
"Do it!!"
