"You sharp-tongued little brat!"

Wang Qiu'er's cold, unyielding reply made Zhongli Wu sneer at once, his eyes brimming with vicious light.

Never a patient man to begin with, Zhongli Wu stopped wasting words when he saw Wang Qiu'er's attitude. Soul power surged around him, and the phantom of the Death God Demon Puppet abruptly expanded. A pitch-black ghostly hand tore through the air, carrying a bone-piercing sinister wind as it shot straight toward Wang Qiu'er!

The full-force strike of a Level 98 Super Douluo was terrifying beyond measure. Wherever the ghostly hand passed, ripples spread through space itself, while the dense aura of death instantly withered the vegetation by the spring.

Although Wang Qiu'er possessed the Golden Dragon King Origin, she had only recently taken human form and her cultivation was still shallow. Under that terrifying pressure, her entire body tightened, her movements becoming sluggish. For the first time, a trace of gravity flashed through her ruby-like eyes.

Just as the ghostly hand was about to seize Wang Qiu'er, an angry roar exploded like thunder: "Evil fiend! How dare you run wild!"

A heavy earthen-yellow radiance arrived after yet struck first, standing like a mountain between Wang Qiu'er and the ghostly hand!

As the light faded, Xuan Zi's figure was revealed, as steady as Mount Tai. The phantom of the Taotie Divine Bull around him raised its head and roared, and then he threw a punch. His fist wind condensed into a massive hammer and slammed fiercely into the black ghostly hand!

"Boom!"

The two terrifying forces collided with a muffled explosion. Violent shockwaves swept outward from the pair, stirring even the waters of the Icefire Yin Yang Well into a furious churn. Xuan Zi swayed slightly before steadying himself, while Zhongli Wu was forced half a step back, his expression turning even gloomier.

"Xuan Zi!" Zhongli Wu's voice was cold enough to pierce bone. "What does catching this girl have to do with you? Why are you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?"

Standing before Wang Qiu'er, Xuan Zi's gaze swept like lightning over Zhongli Wu, as well as Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, who had slowly risen behind him. His face was full of contempt and fury.

"I've long found you lot of skulking rats unpleasant! If the Plane Lord hadn't brought you here, who would have thought that such powerful evil filth had quietly emerged on the Douluo Continent?"

"Now that you've been exposed in broad daylight, how could I possibly sit by and watch you commit such atrocities? You want to seize someone right in front of me? Dream on!"

His words were righteous and resounding, echoing through the valley. The peak Level 98 soul power around him erupted without reservation, forming a stark contrast to Zhongli Wu's sinister aura and carrying a heavy, oppressive force.

Zhongli Wu narrowed his eyes, a dangerous gleam flashing through them. "Old man, are you sure you want to oppose me?"

Xuan Zi could not even be bothered to answer. The earthen-yellow light around him only grew more brilliant, while the Taotie phantom roared furiously toward the heavens, making his stance clear through action.

"Hmph!" Zhongli Wu snorted coldly and glanced toward Ye Xishui beside him.

Ye Xishui frowned slightly. She had not wished to completely fall out with Shrek here, but seeing her son suffer a setback and the other side taking such a hard line, she naturally could not stand by and do nothing.

Her blood-red robe fluttered without wind as the terrifying pressure of a Level 99 Limit Douluo spread forth like a surging sea of blood. She stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhongli Wu, her icy gaze locking onto Xuan Zi.

Long Xiaoyao remained silent. The aura of the Dark Sacred Dragon was deep as an abyss as he followed closely at Ye Xishui's side, making his position clear.

On Xuan Zi's side, Mu En sighed softly. His hunched body straightened somewhat as the gentle yet boundless aura of the Radiant Sacred Dragon rose up like sunlight dispelling gloom, standing in opposition to Ye Xishui's sea of blood.

On the other side, Du Bushi bared his teeth in a grin. Having successfully condensed his second Soul Core with the Astral Luo Spirit Pearl granted by Lei Chen and broken through to Level 99, he had been worrying about finding a chance to test his strength. The violent aura of his Noumenon Martial Soul soared into the sky as well. His muscles bulged with power as he stood beside Mu En, one on each side, shielding Xuan Zi between them.

For a moment, the scene formed a delicate balance of three against three!

Both sides possessed two Level 99 Limit Douluos and one Level 98 Super Douluo. Their strength was perfectly matched, and their clashing auras seemed to freeze the very air of the valley, making it so oppressive that one could scarcely breathe.

Everyone's gaze turned toward the only seventh person who had yet to declare his stance—Kong Deming.

The father of Sun Moon Empire soul tools remained expressionless, his eyes as calm as an ancient well.

Logically, since the Holy Spirit Cult had secretly allied itself with the Sun Moon Empire, he should have stood with Ye Xishui. Yet deep down, he utterly despised Evil Soul Masters for cultivating through the slaughter of living beings. He simply could not bring himself to assist them in capturing an innocent-looking young girl.

Thus, faced with the probing gazes from both sides, Kong Deming simply closed his eyes. Several soul tool cores around him flickered faintly as he assumed an attitude of helping neither side and staying out of the matter.

At this tense moment of confrontation, Wang Qiu'er, the spark that had ignited it all, finally spoke again as she watched the two groups facing off over her.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her clear voice carried a trace of impatience and chill. "You people truly have no idea what you're doing."

She had come here to cultivate according to Lei Chen's instructions and had no desire to involve herself with these strangers. Yet the situation before her clearly could not be resolved peacefully.

"Since none of you can behave yourselves." A golden gleam flashed through Wang Qiu'er's ruby-like eyes, and the pale golden mark on her forehead suddenly lit up, releasing an unfathomable ripple. "Then don't blame me!"

Before her words had faded, a strange, intangible radiance that seemed to contain the tracks of fate shot from the mark between her brows. It did not attack anyone. Instead, it flew directly into the very center of the Icefire Yin Yang Well nearby!

"Hum—!"

The entire valley shook violently. Driven by this light of fate, the clearly divided icy spring and fiery spring seemed to have been infused with souls!

"Roar!!!"

"Roar!!!"

Two dragon roars that shook the soul erupted from the depths of the spring! In the next instant, beneath everyone's horrified gazes, two differently colored masses of lake water shot into the sky!

The icy-blue spring water transformed into a crystalline frost dragon that radiated absolute cold, while the scarlet water condensed into a flame dragon wreathed in blazing fire, its scorching heat seeming capable of burning the heavens!

The two dragons were formed entirely from the purest origin power of ice and fire. Their enormous dragon soul phantoms spiraled upward, dragon eyes wide with fury as they looked down upon the tiny humans below. Their vast dragon might crashed down like a tangible tsunami, instantly overwhelming the clashing auras of every powerhouse present!

The dragon souls of the Icefire Dragon Kings had manifested in the world under the guidance of Wang Qiu'er's power of fate!

The six powerhouses who had been confronting one another all underwent drastic changes in expression. They hastily withdrew their auras and stared uncertainly at the two enormous, heart-pounding dragon souls in the sky. Even Kong Deming, who had kept himself apart, abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock.

Wang Qiu'er's golden hair flew in the wind as she stood beneath the dragon souls of the two great dragons, like an emperor of dragons.
