The Death of Xu Sanshi

Xu Sanshi's body instantly erupted with dense dark green energy, and at the same time, his Martial Soul Xuanming Turtle, underwent a change. A dark green snake climbed onto the Xuanming Shield on his right arm, and the snake scales slowly transformed into the unique shell patterns of the Black Tortoise. His aura surged at a terrifying speed.

Xuanming Turtle, the bloodline of a divine beast awakens— Black Tortoise!

The members of the Sun Moon Team were not surprised.

After all, Xu Sanshi had already revealed his Black Tortoise Awakening once when Shrek fought against the Zhengtian Academy, which stunned Xiao Hongchen at the time.

However, shortly after that, Bao Liang specifically asked Jing Hongchen to find various cases of Martial Soul Awakening. As a result, he actually found a book that described various rare Martial Soul and their special Martial Soul Awakening, titled "On the Hidden Bloodlines of Various Martial Soul and Their Possibilities for Awakening".

This book was not only required reading at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy of London, but its publisher was even one of Shrek's own people.

After obtaining the book, the members of the Sun Moon Team studied it together for a long time, especially in preparation for targeting the two so-called Outer Court Twin Stars of Shrek Academy. They even figured out the Sacrifice conditions for Black Tortoise Awakening's awakened Soul Skill, Black Tortoise Descent.

No one on the Sun and Moon Team was surprised to see Xu Sanshi awaken his Xuanwu.

However, despite this, we still need to be cautious, after all, the other side is the Shrek Academy fanatics, and it's not surprising that Shrek people would do anything.

Isn't this guy about to go berserk?

Xu Sanshi, having completed his Black Tortoise Awakening, stared intently at Bao Liang, his killing intent undisguised. Four Soul Ring, one yellow and one purple, pulsed around him, causing even the arena beneath his feet to tremble.

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi's good friend who had known him for so long, instantly guessed what Xu Sanshi was going to do next based on her intuition alone. She anxiously called out, her voice trembling, "Sanshi, calm down! Don't be impulsive!"

But that didn't work at all.

Having lost his mind, Xu Sanshi directly used his evolved Fourth Soul Skill, Black Tortoise Displacement, to teleport, and in a flash, he arrived in front of Bao Liang.

Simultaneously, the Ring Fusion was used to combine the four Soul Ring into a single pure black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Soul Power fluctuations were terrifyingly strong.

"Third Soul Skill, Black Tortoise Power!"

A massive amount of water element instantly coalesced around Xu Sanshi, forming the Black Tortoise Domain. The gray-black domain spread out, exerting an extremely strong gravitational force on all targets within its range, suppressing their movements. At the same time, Xu Sanshi's own strength more than doubled in a short period of time, and even Bao Liang felt his steps become heavier.

Just as Bao Liang was about to use his Second Soul Skill, the Molten Fire Thousandfold Forging Manufacturing Domain Technique, to break through Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise Domain, a blood-red aura instantly enveloped Xu Sanshi's body.

The crimson liquid enveloped Xu Sanshi like bubbles, emanating a chilling aura that sent shivers down his spine. The crimson liquid even seemed to be Bao Liang as well, and the Sacrifice power contained within it gave Bao Liang goosebumps.

Upon seeing this, Bao Liang instantly lost his composure.

He used his Third Soul Skill, Instant Explosion, to blast himself and Xu Sanshi together. At the same time, he used the explosion to propel himself towards Xu Sanshi, raising his hand to reach for Xu Sanshi's head, trying to interrupt his Soul Skill channeling.

With a bang, it exploded again.

Both explosions occurred in an instant, so to outsiders it appeared as if only one explosion had taken place.

However, the Shrek Academy members, who shared Spiritual Detection Sharing, clearly saw the cause and effect of the matter, as well as just how terrifying the aura Xu Sanshi had just emitted was—it was indeed a forbidden Soul Skill that could only be activated by Sacrifice's life.

The explosion was not without effect; the Shrek team's momentum was halted by the shockwave, while the Sun Moon Team was protected from the explosion by Bao Liang's Second Soul Skill, Molten Fire Thousandfold Forging.

But all of this happened too fast, so fast that even the Titled Douluo couldn't react in time.

As the smoke cleared, everyone saw Bao Liang, his face full of anger, standing near the center of the arena with one hand around Xu Sanshi's neck.

The spot where they had just been was now a deep crater, and the stone slabs of the arena were blasted into the air.

Bao Liang was furious. He really hadn't expected that Jiang Nannan would dare to come after him so fiercely just because he had given her such a light kick.

Not only did he try to fight me to the death, but he also dared to drag Meng and Xiao into his attack range!

If that crimson energy had truly spread, Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen would have been severely injured, if Immortality!

Xu Sanshi, you've already chosen your own path to death!

"After the Xuanming Turtle's Martial Soul Awakening into the divine beast Black Tortoise, its own Soul Skill will change."

"Furthermore, after the Black Tortoise Awakening, the awakened individual can use an area-of-effect destructive innate Soul Skill: Black Tortoise Descent."

Bao Liang's voice, amplified by his Soul Power, was clearly heard by everyone in the audience, even those in the front row.

"The condition for using the Black Tortoise Descent is that one person's life must Sacrifice."

"Just now, it was you who tried to engulf me with that crimson energy and Sacrifice me..."

"So just now, you were trying to kill me, and the people around me as well, was that it?"

Instantly, the entire square erupted in cheers and shouts.

"What? Shrek killed someone?!"

"We haven't killed him yet, but isn't the competition rule against killing?"

"It's just killing people, and they were from the Sun Moon realm anyway, so what's the problem?"

"This is a huge problem! If Shrek dares to kill Sun Moon people in the arena today, they'll dare to kill us Star Luo Empire people tomorrow! The rules absolutely cannot be broken!"

As the audience's voices rose and fell, the members of the Sun Moon Team also lost their composure. Meng Hongchen's body temperature dropped rapidly, and Xiao Hongchen took out hundreds of Soul Tool Floating Cannons and aimed them at Shrek.

"Shrek! You've gone too far! How dare you kill someone openly in the tournament!" Ma Rulong angrily took a step forward, instantly releasing the pressure of Soul Emperor.

Are you kidding me!

That Shrek is utterly shameless! How dare they act so recklessly!

I caused quite a few deaths and injuries when I fought against their seniors from the Sun Moon Team before, but at that time I could barely put on an act, and I had no evidence to prove it.

But now you're not even pretending anymore, you're just killing people outright, are you kidding me!

"No! Sanshi Shi just..."

Just as Bei Bei was about to explain and steer the conversation back towards the idea that Xu Sanshi's loss of control wasn't intentional, Bao Liang spoke again, his voice filled with undisguised sarcasm:

"Don't try to say things like it was an accident or he just lost control."

"Keep telling nonsense to ghosts."

"According to your own Shrek Academy publication, 'On the Hidden Bloodlines of Various Martial Soul and Their Awakening Possibilities,' the specific effects of the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul Awakening's innate Soul Skill after awakening into the Black Tortoise are described."

"This book is still required reading for all Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. Should I add anything else?"

Bao Liang's re-speaking caused an instant silence on Shrek's side. Even Ma Xiaotao froze on the spot, unable to utter a rebuttal—the book was indeed published by Shrek, and the Sacrifice effects of Black Tortoise Descent were indeed clearly described.

The audience erupted in a cacophony of voices, a chorus of lamentations over the shattered Shrek illusion and curses from extreme Shrek enthusiasts. Some even began throwing rotten vegetable leaves onto the ring.

Meanwhile, on the Sun Moon Team's side, Xiao Hongchen was desperately trying to stop his sister, who was about to explode with anger.

When Meng Hongchen heard that Xu Sanshi was going to Sacrifice Bao Liang and use the Soul Skill meant for Sacrifice Bao Liang against her, she instantly exploded. Her silver hair moved without wind, and fine ice shards formed in the air around her.

She now wishes she could tear everyone at Shrek to pieces!

Especially that damned bastard Xu Sanshi!

Dead silence.

After Bao Liang finished speaking, the entire Star Luo Plaza fell into a deathly silence for three seconds; even the sound of raindrops falling on the protective barrier could be clearly heard.

Seeing the Shrek members speechless, Bao Liang's expression returned to calm, but his eyes turned cold. There was no longer the fighting spirit he had shown when fighting Jiang Peng; only a chilling coldness remained in his eyes.

Speechless?

"Alright."

"Since you've already made that decision yourselves, then you should pay the price."

Upon hearing the word "price," the Shrek Seven Devils instantly understood what Bao Liang was up to.

Bei Bei: "Wait! Everything can be discussed! Sanshi didn't do it on purpose!"

Ma Xiaotao: "Referee, save him! He's going to kill Xu Sanshi!"

But none of that worked.

You're targeting Bao Liang, Bao Liang doesn't care.

But if you dare to harm Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, Bao Liang will make sure you die a gruesome death!

"He who kills will be killed by others."

"When I embarked on the path of Soul Master, I was already prepared."

"First Soul Skill, Killer Queen's First Bomb, Destruction Bomb."

With a loud bang.

Under the watchful eyes of Shrek, the Sun Moon Sect members, the referees, and hundreds of thousands of spectators, Xu Sanshi was blown to ashes by Bao Liang, leaving not a trace behind, and completely disappeared from this world.

At the same time, Xu Sanshi also officially became the first true victim in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.

"Sanshi!!!"
