He was not merely a Titled Douluo, but a Titled Douluo with three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.
Their Heavenly Dragon Sect's master was also a Titled Douluo, yet he did not have even a single Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
"Your Eminence, this junior knows he was wrong. Please..."
The middle-aged Soul Saint knew he had brought disaster upon himself and hurriedly tried to kneel and apologize.
But before he could finish speaking, his entire body was sealed in ice.
His legs remained bent in the motion of kneeling.
Not just him-the several Soul Emperors he had brought were also sealed in ice in an instant.
With a casual wave of Hai Bodong's hand, the ice sculptures shattered into a sky full of icy dust.
Glittering ice fragments scattered in every direction, landing on the ground and melting into pools of cold water in moments.
The men who had been so arrogant just moments ago left not even a trace behind.
Although Su Tong had already witnessed her master's various abilities over the past two days, the sight still shocked her.
He had instantly killed a Soul Saint and several Soul Emperors with such effortless ease. What else could she say but that he truly lived up to the title of Titled Douluo?
Of course, if Su Tong knew there was a Titled Douluo who could not even catch a Soul King, would she find it utterly absurd?
Watching this, Ya Fei smiled and bowed slightly. "Welcome, Grand Elder."
"No need for formalities, girl. Let me introduce you. This is my disciple, Su Tong."
Hai Bodong introduced her to Ya Fei.
Su Tong glanced at the alluring woman, and only one thought crossed her mind: This woman simply oozes femininity.
The charm in every smile and frown left even her momentarily dazed.
Upon hearing Hai Bodong's introduction, Ya Fei immediately came over, took Su Tong's hand, and warmly struck up a conversation.
At first, Su Tong was unaccustomed to the woman's enthusiasm, but with Ya Fei's exceptional eloquence and emotional intelligence, it took little time before the two were calling each other sisters.
Once the two had become reasonably well acquainted, Hai Bodong said:
"Let's go. It's time we settled accounts with the Heavenly Dragon Sect."
Su Tong nodded excitedly at his words.
At last, she would get to see her master in action again.
Hai Bodong then summoned three ice dragons and flew toward the south of Dragon City with the two women.
He made no effort to keep a low profile along the way.
The oppressive aura of a Titled Douluo burst forth, blanketing almost half of Dragon City.
Nine Soul Rings appeared, and the final three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings in particular made every Soul Master in Dragon City draw a sharp breath.
Hai Bodong did this to announce in the most conspicuous way possible that it was time for the skies over Dragon City to change.
"Those... three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings! Where did this powerful Titled Douluo come from?"
"See the woman standing on that ice dragon? That's Ya Fei, the head of the Mittel Family. She must have invited this Titled Douluo here."
"I heard long ago that the Heavenly Dragon Sect wanted to swallow up the Mittel Family. They've kicked an iron plate this time."
"Not necessarily. Doesn't the Heavenly Dragon Sect have a Titled Douluo and plenty of Soul Douluos too?"
"Hah, that might matter against an ordinary Titled Douluo, but this Eminence has three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings. I'd say his strength is at least at the level of a Super Douluo. The Heavenly Dragon Sect is finished this time."
Upon witnessing this scene, the intelligence networks of Dragon City's various factions began rapidly passing along the news.
North of Dragon City, at the Earth Dragon Sect.
A voluptuous beauty heard her subordinate's report and felt a jolt of surprise.
Nan Shuishui asked once more, "Are you certain? Does that senior truly have three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings?"
"Sect Master Nan, it is absolutely true. Your subordinate would stake his life on it. Moreover, this Titled Douluo is most likely on his way to make trouble for the Heavenly Dragon Sect."
Nan Shuishui pressed her lips together slightly and waved a hand. "Understood. You may leave."
"Yes."
The subordinate withdrew respectfully.
Beside her, Nan Qiuqiu took her mother's arm and asked, "Mom, are we going to help the Heavenly Dragon Sect?"
Nan Shuishui gave a bitter smile. "Your mother is only a Soul Douluo. A battle between Titled Douluos isn't something I can take part in."
Never mind being a Soul Douluo-even if she advanced to Titled Douluo, she probably would not be a match for this man.
Three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings! What an enormous gulf!
Besides, the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Earth Dragon Sect had long been riddled with conflicts, giving her even less reason to help.
Nan Qiuqiu said worriedly, "Then what if this Titled Douluo comes after us once he's dealt with the Heavenly Dragon Sect..."
"Don't worry. No matter what happens, I'll protect you, whatever price I have to pay!"
Nan Shuishui spoke firmly.
Ever since her husband's death, this daughter had been her only remaining attachment in the world.
Nan Qiuqiu's eyes reddened. She hugged Nan Shuishui and said through a slight sob, "Mom, I'll protect you too!"
Hai Bodong's journey was meant to announce his arrival as a Titled Douluo to all of Dragon City, so he did not travel particularly fast.
By the time Hai Bodong arrived, the Heavenly Dragon Sect's people were already drawn up in battle readiness.
But when they saw those three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings,
they all swallowed in unison.
The gray-haired old man leading the Heavenly Dragon Sect saw Hai Bodong arrive.
He cupped his hands and said, "I am Yu Tingyuan, master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. May I ask what brings you to our sect, sir? If our sect has offended you in any way, I will personally visit you to apologize."
While Hai Bodong was still on his way, Yu Tingyuan had already learned the whole story.
In truth, the Heavenly Dragon Sect had always been swallowing up small and medium-sized factions. They had simply been unlucky this time and kicked an iron plate.
And this was no ordinary iron plate. The oppressive aura radiating from the middle-aged man before him,
made even a rank ninety-three Titled Douluo like him feel his heart tremble.
Hai Bodong waved a hand and said coldly, "Since I'm already standing here, you should know what this is about. I can't be bothered to say more, and you aren't worthy of hearing it anyway.
"You have two choices: first, the Heavenly Dragon Sect leaves Dragon City within two days; second, death!"
Yu Tingyuan's pupils contracted. He had not expected this man to be so overbearing, so uncompromising.
"Insolence! The Heavenly Dragon Sect's predecessor was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects ten thousand years ago! Our foundations run deep. Even if you're a Titled Douluo, you aren't qualified to destroy our Heavenly Dragon Sect!"
An elder of the Heavenly Dragon Sect behind Yu Tingyuan spoke furiously.
Two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet.
Hai Bodong gave the elder an indifferent glance. Before anyone could react, this mighty Eight-Ring Soul Douluo was swiftly sealed in ice.
Then he, too, shattered into a heap of ice fragments.
An instant kill!
A true instant kill.
Even Yu Tingyuan, a Titled Douluo, had not managed to react.
"This is a warning. You have five breaths to consider. If you still haven't answered after five breaths, then all of you can die."
