The Divine Realm, Asura God Temple.
"Such a try-hard. Absolutely insufferable," Asura complained as she watched the images on the water screen.
There was no denying that Qian Xunji had passed the Asura Third Trial with methods that were fast, effective, and innovative.
But this wasn't the result she wanted. The result, the result, the result.
Besides, that utterly merciless way he passed judgment was even more cold-blooded than she was, the Law Enforcement God.
Everyone called her the God of Slaughter, but just look at Qian Xunji's killing efficiency.
Asura thought: This guy's the real God of Slaughter. He kills people and Spirit Beasts without batting an eye or saying a word, and he especially loves using his mental power to control the Golden Sword and kill enemies from afar.
Asura could accept everything else about Qian Xunji. It was his way of fighting that she couldn't stand.
In Asura's heart, a head-on, hard-hitting battle like Tang Chen's, Blood Boiling with excitement, was the true way.
Only this kind of fighting style suited the status of a God King and the dignity of a Law Enforcement God.
As for Qian Xunji's style—controlling flying swords from a distance and constantly sneaking up on people—it was downright low-class.
But that didn't mean his fighting style couldn't be changed.
A light gleamed in Asura's blood-red eyes. She'd thought of a great idea.
Douluo Plane.
"Asura God Trial, Fourth Trial: Asura Unique."
"Trial objective: Defeat another possessor of Divine Slaughter's Domain, Tang Chen, in a head-on duel."
"During the duel, the use of out-of-range mental power and Mental Attribute Soul Skills is strictly forbidden."
"Any violation will result in failure of the God Trial. The trial will last one year."
Asura God's voice rang in Qian Xunji's ears.
After reading the contents and requirements of the Asura God Trial's Fourth Trial, his expression darkened.
The trial seemed specifically designed to target his current strengths.
He had to fight Tang Chen, that reckless brawler, head-on, and he couldn't use his Divine Origin Realm mental power or Mental Attribute Soul Skills.
Isn't this just picking on an honest man? he shouted inwardly.
Though he had a batch of Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings on hand, and could use the Side-Effect-Free Spirit Ring Deprivation Card to strip away his junk Spirit Rings and replace them,
and though he also had five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones to strengthen his body,
taking the Great Sumeru Hammer's Ring Detonation head-on was still out of the question.
Qian Xunji left Heaven Dou City, concealed his aura, and headed for Star Dou Forest.
His goal was simple: see if he could find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff.
He urgently needed a Spirit Ring produced by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff to increase his strength.
As the strictest father of Tang Wulin, the protagonist of Douluo Three,
even a ten-thousand-year-old Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff could suppress Tang Wulin, who had a Titled Douluo's cultivation and the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, and beat him down.
There was no need to imagine how much a Spirit Ring produced by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff could improve his strength.
If he was lucky, he might even gain the Domination Domain.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Wouldn't that let him beat Tang Chen into the ground?
If System Mother loved him, then maybe next month, when he checked in, she'd give him a body-tempering technique like the Heavenly Demon Golden Body. That would be so cool.
Inside Heaven Dou City.
After Qian Xunji left Heaven Dou City without so much as a word, the various factions reacted in different ways.
At the Spirit Holy Hall, Platinum Bishop Saphis absorbed a Spirit Bone, raised his Soul Power to level 90, then left Heaven Dou City to return to Spirit City and take up his post. At the same time, he brought Qian Daoliu news about Qian Xunji.
In the imperial palace,
after learning the news, Xue Ye and his son relaxed their taut nerves. They sighed, then felt a pang of regret.
What a pity that woman had been useless. She hadn't managed to get into bed with him, successfully conceive a child by him, and bear the child of a Limit Douluo.
Far away, in Seven Treasure City,
when Ning Fengzhi learned Qian Xunji had left Heaven Dou City, his eyes turned red, and he panted like an ox, consumed by fury. "Find him! Find him for me! You must track down that damned Armor Douluo!"
He'd run.
Or rather, he'd left.
His father's killer had simply walked out of Heaven Dou City as though nothing had happened, and now no one knew where he'd gone.
If they couldn't find their enemy, how was Ning Fengzhi supposed to avenge his father and Grandpa Fire Dragon?
And how could they restore the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's reputation after Ning Xia had been paraded through the streets for public viewing?
"Fengzhi, his flying speed is extremely fast. I'm afraid only a Titled Douluo with a Pure Agility Branch flying Martial Soul could keep up with him," Bone Douluo Gu Rong said helplessly.
Gu Rong's words brought Ning Fengzhi back to his senses.
Perhaps the only way to deal with his father's killer was to ask that man from Spirit Hall—the Angel Douluo, Qian Daoliu, who was said to be invincible in the sky—to come out of seclusion. Only then might they have a chance at revenge.
But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect couldn't afford to hire Qian Daoliu as a hired thug.
Besides, could Qian Daoliu really defeat and kill Qian Xunji on his own?
Ning Fengzhi was still young, but he'd read plenty of books. He believed they would need Tang Chen, several Titled Douluos, and a Spirit Saint with a level-79 Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul to support them before they could safely take down Qian Xunji.
At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan headquarters,
Yu Yuanzhen glared furiously at the intelligence from Heaven Dou City, his beard bristling.
Yu Xiaogang of the Blue Lightning Jade Clan had been publicly tried and executed. This was a slap in the face to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"According to reliable information, he's a Limit Douluo, and he has the same Divine Slaughter's Domain as Tang Chen. We can't beat him. We simply can't."
He wanted to avenge his clansman, but they really couldn't win.
Even if the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Spirit Masters mobilized, they still couldn't kill a Limit Douluo.
It wasn't impossible to join forces with other factions and attack Qian Xunji together.
The problem was that this guy was a loner. He appeared without warning, vanished without warning, and was as elusive as a ghost.
If they didn't even know where he was, how could they take revenge?
At the Clear Sky Sect headquarters,
Tang Chen wasn't particularly bothered by Tang Yin's death.
What did concern him was that this suddenly appeared Limit Douluo possessed Divine Slaughter's Domain, just like him.
"I really want to have a fight with a powerhouse like that." Battle intent burned in Tang Chen's eyes.
It was a shame the other man had already left Heaven Dou City, and no one knew where he'd gone.
If he were still there, Tang Chen would have gone straight to him for a head-on duel with a peer of equal strength.
He was getting a little tired of fighting Qian Daoliu all the time.
A powerhouse who, like him, had fought their way out of that hellhole called Slaughter City and gained Divine Slaughter's Domain would surely give him a thoroughly satisfying battle.
At the thought of Slaughter City, Tang Chen looked at his two grandsons, who were training nearby.
He hoped one of them would go to Slaughter City, pass the trials, make it through Hell Road, and gain Divine Slaughter's Domain.
Only those who had possessed Divine Slaughter's Domain could truly understand just how powerful it was.
Tang Hao, who was training with his hammer, suddenly felt a chill run down his back. He had a feeling something unfortunate was about to happen.
Spirit City.
After Qian Daoliu arranged for people to help Saphis hunt Spirit Beasts in Star Dou Forest and obtain his ninth Spirit Ring, he rubbed the space between his brows.
He really hadn't expected that the person who had caused such a commotion in Heaven Dou City and killed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's leader was his own son, who'd run away from home almost a year ago.
As for the rumors that Qian Xunji was a Limit Douluo, he didn't believe them.
His son had gained an opportunity and passed a God Trial. In just one year, his strength had reached the Titled Douluo level.
Qian Daoliu believed his son had been disloyal to the Angel God by turning his back on his position as the High Priest of the Angel God and running off to serve another deity as a high priest.
He silently decided that when Qian Xunji came back, he'd make sure to give him a complete childhood.
