"Clan Master! Clan Master!!"
"We'll defend the Clan Master to the death! All disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, heed my command! Form ranks! Cover the Clan Master's retreat!!"
Amid several furious roars of grief and rage, dozens of deep-blue lightning silhouettes erupted from the outskirts of the ruins!
They were the elite members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who had accompanied him.
Their ranks included two Soul Saints, five Soul Emperors, and dozens of Soul Kings-the backbone of the clan!
Eyes bloodshot, these disciples recklessly drove their soul power to its limits, heedless of life or death. Phantasms of their blue lightning tyrant dragon martial souls rose with thunder coiling around them, roaring as they formed an impenetrable net of lightning with desperate resolve, surrounding An Jing at its center!
Yet faced with this encirclement by men ready to die, An Jing did not even raise his eyelids.
He merely lifted his hand again with utter nonchalance, slightly curling his fingertips.
Snap!
Once again, the crisp snap of his fingers became the herald of death.
Humm-!
The spatial structure within the encirclement was forcibly stripped away and emptied in a thousandth of an instant!
The surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth vanished along with the air. The chests of dozens of experts abruptly caved in, and before they could even scream, they plunged into suffocation within an absolute vacuum.
Then the air became blade after blade, crashing mercilessly onto every person's shoulders!
Splat! Splat! Splat! Splat!
There was no clash of weapons, only a string of muffled bursts that made the scalp crawl!
Dozens of power attack system Soul Masters renowned throughout their respective regions were crushed into glaring clouds of bloody mist and shattered bone beneath overwhelming gravity and spatial compression before their martial souls' lightning could even flare. They poured into the charred ruins amid a rain of blood!
Their entire force was annihilated in the snap of a finger.
"Admirable courage."
Not a drop of blood stained An Jing's clothes. His tone was as calm as though he were appraising a few moths that had flown into a spider's web:
"But that's all."
"You... you demon!!"
Yu Yuanzhen lay sprawled on his back in a pool of blood, his eyes stretched so wide they threatened to split. Endless venom and terror finally seeped into his clouded old eyes.
By then, every meridian in his body had shattered, his lightning essence had been completely exhausted, and his life force was so faint that even a level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster could easily kill him.
Before the absolute shadow of death, the proud backbone of a clan master of the Upper Three Sects was crushed inch by inch. He could only desperately muster his remaining strength and roar threats, fierce on the outside but craven within:
"Arrogant brat! You've killed my disciples! If you dare take my life today, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will fight you to the death!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the two great empires will never tolerate the rise of a bloodthirsty fiend like you, and Spirit Hall certainly won't allow you to exist!
Aren't you afraid... that every sect under heaven will rise against you and leave you dead without a place to be buried?!"
Yu Yuanzhen stared fixedly at An Jing, trying to find a trace of hesitation, wariness, or room for negotiation on that young face.
Yet An Jing did not seem particularly concerned:
"Finished?"
"Then-"
"Farewell."
An Jing withdrew his gaze and forcefully clenched the five fingers of his right hand!
Crack!!
The spatial prison already locked around Yu Yuanzhen instantly collapsed inward in a frenzy!
The spatial barriers scraped against one another, producing blinding black light. Immense force, like an invisible world-destroying millstone, viciously ground down his already broken body!
Only then did Yu Yuanzhen realize, in utter horror, that the man before him was not bluffing at all!
He did not care about retaliation from the Upper Three Sects, did not care about the continent's balance, and had no intention of demanding a ransom or jacking up his price!
He truly intended to erase a Super Douluo like him on the spot!
"Wait... I'm willing to..."
Yu Yuanzhen was terrified out of his wits. At the threshold between life and death, his lofty, imperial dignity, unbent for ten thousand years, finally collapsed completely. Words of surrender and pleas for mercy nearly spilled from his lips!
Unfortunately, An Jing never gave him the chance to utter a complete sentence, nor did he need the begging of a beaten dog.
"Burst."
Splat-!!
The spatial fractures compressed to their utmost limits from every direction suddenly converged into a single point!
Amid the horrifying explosive roar of the high-pressure vacuum, this level ninety-five Super Douluo, who had awed the Douluo Continent for decades and stood at the pinnacle of the Upper Three Sects,
was squeezed until he burst apart before everyone's eyes, along with his regret and arrogance. He became a dense, glaring cloud of crimson blood mist, without so much as a bone left behind!
A fierce wind swept past, dispersing the blood mist.
Within the deep crater, apart from a patch of blood mingled with charred black and dark red, only an exquisite Storage Soul Tool engraved with ancient lightning dragon patterns and three superb soul bones radiating the profound, eerie glow of ten thousand years hovered quietly above the ground!
Thus, the current Clan Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a level ninety-five power attack system Super Douluo.
Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen had fallen for good!
The instant the battle ended, only the raging rifts in the void remained above the deathly silent ruins, slowly healing.
Within the shadows where they lurked in the distance, the top spies of the great sects, the two empires, and even Spirit Hall had already soaked their backs with cold sweat. An uncontrollable chill seeped into the marrow of their bones.
"With the cultivation of a Seven-Ring Soul Sage... he slew a level ninety-five Super Douluo, without leaving even an inch of bone behind..."
"The sky over the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has completely collapsed! We must use a spatial messenger hawk at the highest security level and send word back to the Pope's Hall in Spirit City immediately!"
"A monster... this isn't something a human could possibly do! Once he enters the realm of Titled Douluo, who under heaven will still be able to restrain him?!"
The spies even held their breath tightly, terrified that the slightest fluctuation of soul power might expose them and turn them into the next souls to be erased.
Yet just as everyone thought this earth-shattering calamity had finally come to an end.
An Jing stood at the edge of the crater, looking at the pool of blood on the ground.
He raised his hand and grasped at the air. The ancient dragon-patterned Storage Soul Tool and the three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones wreathed in violent lightning became streaks of light that fell into his palm, and he casually put them into his soul tool ring.
Once he had finished, An Jing turned sideways and slowly shifted his gaze toward Dugu Bo, who stood utterly frozen nearby.
As An Jing's gaze swept over him, Dugu Bo-the Poison Douluo renowned across the continent, long infamous for his ruthless, venomous ways-felt his heart skip a beat.
Had he and An Jing not been teammates, Dugu Bo would have thought An Jing had grown blood-drunk, still had not killed enough, and was now turning his blade on him...
"Old poison."
An Jing finally spoke, breaking the suffocating silence:
"Do you know exactly where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's headquarters is?"
"Of course. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is in the heart of the Nine Dragon Mountain Range..."
Dugu Bo answered instinctively, but before he had finished, his emerald-green serpentine pupils contracted violently. He sucked in a sharp breath, and even his voice carried a trace of alarm he could not conceal:
"Kid... y-you aren't planning to storm Nine Dragon Mountain right now and wipe out their entire clan, are you?!"
