His Sister and A Gui! A Past Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo Would Rather Not Touch?
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan shifted his gaze from Dugu Bo, suddenly smiled, and then raised his right hand, a golden chrysanthemum slowly blooming in his palm.
"Can."
"But you have to beat both of us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, nine Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, and five black—rose up from beneath his feet.
On the other side, black mist surged around the Gui Mei, and nine Soul Ring also lit up!
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed, and he subconsciously looked at Dugu Bo, who was still absorbing the Soul Ring, with a worried look on his face.
Li Qingshan raised his hand to reinforce the barrier behind him and said calmly, "Guard your junior brother. Leave these two to me."
He showed no fear in the face of these two Titled Douluo.
Li Qingshan is now at level 95, and his Soul Power is far more abundant than those two who have just been promoted to Titled Douluo.
With the added power of the Soul Bone and the Passionate Sword, he naturally had the confidence to fight them. However, Dugu Bo had not yet woken up, so he could not allow the battle to spill over behind him.
"Third Soul Skill, Aura Barrier!"
The Third Soul Ring on Yue Guan's body suddenly lit up, and the golden light spread forward, completely enveloping Li Qingshan, followed by a binding force.
At the same time, the Gui Mei had already bent down and pressed itself to the ground.
Fifth Soul Skill: Ghost Shadow Earth Pond Hand!
The next second, a large patch of black shadows suddenly appeared beneath Li Qingshan's feet, and countless ghostly hands reached out from them, grabbing at his legs and the arm holding the sword!
Clearly, the two men wanted to restrict his movements first before taking him down.
"A mere Titled Douluo dares to act presumptuously before me!"
"This is the Love Sword Douluo, cultivation level ninety-nine!"
Seeing this, Li Qingshan snorted coldly. The next moment, a powerful Soul Power burst forth within his body, and nine Soul Ring rose up from his feet one after another!
Purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black, red—when the last blood-red Soul Ring appeared, the smile on Yue Guan's face instantly froze!
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?!
The Gui Mei also raised its head, its gaze beneath the white mask suddenly freezing.
"The first and Second Soul Ring are both thousand years old, and the ninth Soul Ring is even a hundred thousand years old! How is this possible?"
The two had anticipated that Li Qingshan's ability to kill the Platinum Bishop meant he was certainly strong, but they hadn't expected him to be this powerful.
Feeling the overwhelming Soul Power pressing down on him, Yue Guan involuntarily tightened his grip on his Martial Soul. The young man before him was so much stronger than them?
Li Qingshan didn't wait; his Seventh Soul Ring had already lit up.
"Martial Soul Avatar!"
A silver-white sword shadow rose from the ground, then, drawn by the three Soul Bones, quickly converged onto him.
The plates of armor on the forehead guard, arm guards, and chest and back solidified one after another, and the sharpness of the Passionate Sword also increased dramatically!
The sword swept across, shattering the ghostly hands that had been grabbing at him. The Aura Barrier Yue Guan was also torn apart by the oncoming sword energy!
"Old Ghost, watch out!"
With a low shout, Yue Guan stepped back half a step, his previous composure gone. The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his palm suddenly rose, and his ninth Soul Ring lit up at the same time.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Chrysanthemums Wither, Wounds Cover the Ground, Fallen Flowers Break the Heart!"
The golden chrysanthemum suddenly shattered, its petals transforming into countless spinning blades that then coalesced into a massive golden tornado that crashed down upon Li Qingshan!
The Gui Mei then vanished into the shadows, darting out along the side.
One launched a direct attack, while the other searched for an opening. Neither of them retreated immediately despite the other having higher Soul Power.
Seeing this, Li Qingshan's eyes turned slightly cold. He raised his sword to meet the attack, and layers of Sword Light unfolded in front of him. The swirling blades collided with it, instantly creating a dense burst of vibrations!
The shattered golden light scattered to both sides, but it could never get past him and land on the barrier behind him. In the midst of the collision, the silver Threads of Emotion had already spread outward along the Sword Light.
"The Love Sword Domain - Love Brings Only Regret Since Ancient Times!"
As the domain descended, a sense of melancholy suddenly welled up in Yue Guan's heart. He immediately circulated his Soul Power, attempting to suppress the strange feeling.
But then, the purple markings on Li Qingshan's right arm Bone Armor lit up!
"God-Splitting Edge!"
The Spiritual Power was released along the sword's edge, striking directly at the two of them.
A sudden, sharp pain shot through Yue Guan's brow, and the Gui Mei that had been flitting from the side paused, immediately gathering its Spiritual Power to defend itself.
This was the moment Li Qingshan had been waiting for. With the amplification from the Bone Armor and the Martial Soul Avatar, he sent his Spiritual Power into the Threads of Emotion, and his Third Soul Ring lit up!
"Past Sorrows Stir Hatred in the Heart; Looking Back, Still Regretting Being Too Late."
"Third Soul Skill, Regret!"
The Threads of Emotion suddenly tightened.
The regret and pain that had been suppressed in their hearts for many years surged up at this moment!
Yue Guan could still clearly see the Sword Light before him, but the image of his sister falling suddenly flashed into his mind.
He grew up in poverty and was raised by his older sister, who also raised money from all over the world to support his education.
He had never forgotten the mooncakes of Mid-Autumn Festival, the dim lights, and the smile she gave him when she faced him.
But when the creditors came knocking, the figure that had stood in his way never stood up again.
Yue Guan's fingertips trembled violently. Back then, there was nothing she could do but watch her sister protect her and then watch her die.
If it weren't for supporting his education, why would my sister have had to endure so much suffering? If I had gained power sooner, why would she have died before my eyes?
"Elder sister..."
A tightness gripped Yue Guan's throat, and her eyes involuntarily reddened.
He understood that this was the effect of the Soul Skill, and he desperately focused his mind to resist it. However, the regret that was originally hidden in his heart was now being magnified and became more and more chaotic!
The petal tornado in the air swayed, and a clear gap appeared in the previously tight attack.
On the other side, the Gui Mei's condition was equally bad.
"A Gui."
This name, which I had long since abandoned, resurfaced along with those unbearable memories.
The unappreciated Martial Soul, the cold stares from family members, and the ridicule from peers—one thing after another flooded into his mind.
He just wanted someone to play with him, so he believed the children and jumped into the water. But when the water reached his mouth and nose, no one reached out to pull him back.
The pain of struggling to the very end with no one to help him was now so vivid that it made his whole body tense!
Why did you believe it back then?
Why risk your life to gain acceptance from those people?
The Gui Mei clenched its fist tightly, and black mist surged around it.
He was no longer the child who could be bullied at will, but the deep-seated pain he carried did not disappear as his strength increased.
Now, being entangled by Threads of Emotion, he has directly disrupted the flow of his Soul Power!
Li Qingshan noticed the change in the two's offensive tactics and swung his sword again, sending the golden flower blade, which had lost its stable control, flying into the air.
Amidst the roar, a large expanse of golden light scattered.
Yue Guan staggered back several steps, barely managing to bite his tongue to draw blood. Using the stinging pain to focus his mind, he hissed, "Quick! Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
Gui Mei suppressed his surging emotions, his figure flashed, and he approached him. Golden light and black energy rose at the same time, and the two were obviously preparing to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
Li Qingshan's gaze sharpened.
"First Soul Skill, Once Upon a Time!"
A streak of silver light flashed by.
The Gui Mei suddenly withdrew its outstretched hand and returned to its position from a second earlier.
The Soul Power that Yue Guan had already sent out immediately lost its proper support!
The moment their movements were slightly out of sync, Li Qingshan's Sword Light descended, striking directly between them!
"Boom!"
The ground cracked open, and the resulting shockwave knocked the two of them back.
The Soul Power, already affected by the mental attack, was forcibly interrupted again. Yue Guan's face turned pale, and the black shadow behind the Gui Mei also shook violently.
