Heaven Dou City. 🐸💀
Martial Soul Temple.
Platinum Bishop Salas had been woken by a subordinate while lying on a woman's belly.
Looking at the little note laid before him,
Salas's eyes turned sinister.
"Who sent this? Have they been caught?"
The subordinate replied,
"Reporting to you, Bishop, we caught the person. He's an ordinary student from Blue Tyrant Academy."
"Hm?"
Salas froze.
"What did you say? Blue Tyrant Academy sent someone?"
"That's right."
The subordinate replied,
"According to the boy, a teacher at Blue Tyrant Academy named Yu Xiaogang told him to deliver this note."
"Yu Xiaogang told him to leave the note at the entrance to the Temple and hurry away, but we still caught him."
Salas furrowed his brow, his gaze returning to the note.
What was Blue Tyrant Academy trying to do?
If they had an Immortal Herb, why announce it to the world?
Wasn't Liu Erlong, the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, about to marry the Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
And what exactly was this Immortal Herb?
Although Salas still didn't know what kind of thing this Immortal Herb was,
just the two words "Immortal Herb"
were enough for him to sense that it was extraordinary.
After a moment's thought, Salas said,
"Since we received the note, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family must have received one too. Whatever they're trying to do, send people to keep watch outside Blue Tyrant Academy first."
"Oh, right. Keep watch on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect too."
"If anyone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect goes to Blue Tyrant Academy, report back immediately."
"Understood."
Boom-
They clashed again.
Terrifying waves of Soul Power swept out in every direction.
In an instant, the sharp Seven Kill Sword Intent and the fierce Clear Sky Hammer's force cut and crashed against each other, felling swathes of trees around them.
Meanwhile, Ning Xuan's Golden Exquisite Pagoda had already dispersed.
Tang Hao's first strike with his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul
had landed on Ning Xuan's Golden Exquisite Pagoda Martial Soul, smashing it apart by sheer force.
[The protagonist is only level eighty-three!!!]
Only after the Golden Exquisite Pagoda Martial Soul dispersed did Liu Erlong's body appear. But just as she came into view, Tang Hao flashed away, once again battling Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
But Sword Douluo Chen Xin was indeed a veteran Super Douluo, with tremendous strength. His Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul was no less powerful than the Clear Sky Hammer.
After a fierce battle, Sword Douluo Chen Xin had gained the upper hand. Under the sharp cuts of the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, Tang Hao's blood and Qi churned ceaselessly.
Another head-on collision.
The Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul's sword intent was fierce, its light transforming into countless fireflies that darted through and tore at its opponent, rapidly dimming the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.
But Tang Hao couldn't help bursting into loud laughter.
"Hahaha!"
The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul suddenly blazed with light.
Its aura turned violent once more, like a crimson sun, and it bore down on Ning Xuan in the distance.
"Shameless."
Ning Xuan's brows twitched.
He released his Golden Exquisite Pagoda Martial Soul.
The next moment, as the pagoda's Fourth Soul Skill shone brightly, the entire Golden Exquisite Pagoda tilted slightly, then shot into Ning Xuan's body once more.
Fourth Soul Skill-Indestructible Vajra.
As the Golden Exquisite Pagoda and Ning Xuan's body fused into one, a layer of golden light quickly spread over his skin. He looked as if he had been cast in gold and forged in iron, like a heavenly god descending to earth, majestic and awe-inspiring.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's expression changed dramatically at the sight.
In an instant, the ninth Soul Ring on the Seven Kill Sword lit up.
Ninth Soul Skill-Man and Sword as One.
When man and sword merged, a Soul Master could wield the sword with his body, raising his strength to a terrifying level.
This was especially true of the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul,
known as the continent's greatest offensive weapon Martial Soul.
Once Man and Sword as One was unleashed, Sword Douluo Chen Xin's attack power would be raised to around two hundred percent.
Boom-
The Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul's might surged. Its fierce sword intent mingled with Soul Power, forming rings of utterly terrifying ripples.
It shot toward Ning Xuan like a brilliant meteor.
The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.
The Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul.
The Golden Exquisite Pagoda Martial Soul.
Three of the continent's most powerful weapon Martial Souls clashed violently in the woods outside Heaven Dou City on this deep night.
In an instant, the air seemed to twist. An indescribably terrifying roar rang out and exploded.
It was like Heaven's punishment.
Even Heaven Dou City in the distance shook violently, the tremors jolting countless people awake from their dreams.
Naturally, Ning Xuan was the first to be blasted away from the center of the battlefield.
He had only just entered the Soul Douluo rank. How could he compare with two Titled Douluo whose attack power was already unrivaled?
He flew backward, coughing blood, his aura in disarray.
The turbulent emotions surging in his heart made him even more furious.
Ning Xuan fell to the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
His gaze remained fixed on Tang Hao at the center of the battlefield.
Never before had he so desperately wanted to become stronger.
Boom-
Tang Hao was still no match for Sword Douluo Chen Xin. After Ning Xuan, he too was sent flying by a sword strike, his clothes torn to shreds.
"Sword Douluo truly is formidable. Tang Hao has learned his lesson today."
He laughed wildly again.
But after that one strike, his figure suddenly vanished. Liu Erlong, unconscious and gravely wounded, disappeared with him.
"Xiao Xuan, are you all right?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin didn't pursue him.
Instead, he quickly turned and rushed back to Ning Xuan, asking with concern,
"Grandpa Sword, I'm not seriously hurt."
Ning Xuan's face was still somewhat pale, and he couldn't help giving a bitter smile.
"Thank goodness you came along. Otherwise, I might have died here today."
"How dare Tang Hao!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin roared.
"Even if the Clear Sky Sect has withdrawn from the world, we must still demand an explanation for this."
"Uncle Jian, help me back first."
Ning Xuan said,
"At least I managed to reclaim the Immortal Herb."
Supporting Ning Xuan, he walked toward the carriage waiting in the distance.
On the way, Sword Douluo Chen Xin frowned deeply. Ning Xuan noticed and asked,
"Grandpa Sword, is something else troubling you?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin sighed.
"Liu Erlong was taken away. Who knows what trouble might follow?"
At the mention of Liu Erlong, Ning Xuan's eyes grew dark and unreadable.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Sword. She won't wake up that easily."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin paused and asked,
"Xiao Xuan, what did you do?"
"Nothing."
Ning Xuan shook his head slightly and said,
"I just used the [Mirror Image] Soul Bone Skill on her."
"What good does that do?"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin was somewhat puzzled.
The [Mirror Image] Soul Bone Skill was, honestly, a real chicken rib of a skill. It could only be used to make a single recording.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin really couldn't figure out what Ning Xuan's purpose was in doing that.
But Ning Xuan didn't answer him. Instead, he smiled rather mysteriously,
"You'll understand in the future, Grandpa Sword."
The [Mirror Image] skill was certainly useless.
But what if he used Emotional Value to upgrade and mutate the Soul Bone Skill?
A cold smile curled at the corner of Ning Xuan's mouth.
"I suddenly feel that rather than killing her, perhaps doing this will make her suffer even more."
