Yan Shaozhe the Good-for-Nothing

After Yan Shaozhe transformed into his Bright Phoenix True Body, he immediately changed his offensive strategy, circling in the air and using his massive size and high-speed maneuverability to launch an even more ferocious siege against Bao Liang.

The distant flames poured down relentlessly, while nearby, enormous claws and a hard phoenix beak tore and slashed at Bao Liang, attempting to rip him to shreds Bao Liang one fell swoop.

But Bao Liang remained completely at ease.

With a wave of his hands, his Second Soul Skill, Molten Fire Thousandfold Forging, continuously activated, forging the surrounding Ultimate Flame into countless flaming longswords and flaming throwing knives, which were then relentlessly hurled at Yan Shaozhe's Bright Phoenix True Body.

Each of the flame weapons accurately struck Yan Shaozhe's vital points, intercepting all of his overwhelming attacks.

His ranged attacks were completely neutralized by the smelting flames, and his close-range attacks were utterly ineffective against Bao Liang.

On the contrary, Bao Liang would occasionally grab Yan Shaozhe's attacks with a casual grab, then squeeze them and turn them into a ball of flame to be absorbed back into his body.

"Dean Yan," Bao Liang replied casually, his face full of mockery, "Truly worthy of being the dean of Shrek's Martial Soul Department, you are truly blessed with a natural talent for teaching Martial Soul like the 'Phoenix'!"

Yan Shaozhe felt a chill run down his spine, vaguely sensing something was wrong, but he forced himself to calm down and continued to launch a frenzied attack.

"If I remember correctly," Bao Liang's tone grew increasingly sarcastic, deliberately emphasizing each word, "Dean Yan, you used to have a girlfriend named Feng Ling, right? I heard that quite a few things happened between you two back then, and in the end, it seems that for some reason, you ended up having an affair with a Evil Phoenix?"

"Dean Yan, your teaching skills are truly awe-inspiring, even to all those with the 'Phoenix' Martial Soul!"

"Shut up!!!"

Yan Shaozhe finally lost his temper and roared furiously.

Being touched on a sore spot is the best way to enrage someone, and it's also the most common and effective method.

In that instant, he completely lost his mind, and his attacks became increasingly ferocious and chaotic. What was once an orderly offensive turned into a reckless and indiscriminate barrage, exposing countless flaws.

A glint of light flashed in Bao Liang's eyes, and he immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He pushed off with his feet, and his whole body shot towards Yan Shaozhe like an arrow released from a bow.

Taking advantage of Yan Shaozhe's claw strike, Bao Liang and delivered a powerful whip kick, striking Yan Shaozhe's Bright Phoenix True Body in the abdomen!

Boom!

That kick landed squarely!

Yan Shaozhe's Bright Phoenix True Body froze instantly, and then, Bao Liang Liang's terrifying force, he was sent flying backward.

Before he could regain his footing, Bao Liang's leg kicked him, sending his massive phoenix body flying from mid-air back to the ground!

BOOM--!!

Yan Shaozhe's enormous Bright Phoenix True Body crashed heavily onto the ground, instantly raising a cloud of dust and debris.

The entire forest shook, and a huge crater with a diameter of over 100 meters was smashed into the ground!

More importantly, Yan Shaozhe's Martial Soul Avatar was actually shattered by Bao Liang!

With a flash of golden light, Yan Shaozhe reappeared in the giant pit, kneeling disheveled on the pile of rubble, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his aura instantly weakening considerably.

Even so, Yan Shaozhe still did not fall.

The Bright Phoenix Martial Soul is born with extremely powerful Nirvana attributes.

Even if severely injured, it will never easily perish.

Although Yan Shaozhe was already in a very bad state, it seemed that he still had a lot of fighting power remaining in his body.

But Bao Liang had long since lost interest in continuing to play with him.

He raised his right hand, and golden-red Soul Power rapidly gathered in his palm.

In the blink of an eye, countless dragon-headed cannons, transformed from the Victory Dragon Emperor, appeared densely in front of his palm, illuminating the entire sky with golden-red light.

Each dragon-headed cannon exudes terrifying high temperatures and a Destruction aura, with countless spinning, Explosion energy projectiles of Ultimate Flame condensing within their muzzles, ready to be unleashed at any moment.

A chilling, suffocating sense of death immediately enveloped Yan Shaozhe.

His face changed drastically, and the hairs on his body stood on end in that instant.

Driven by his survival instinct, he recklessly activated his Martial Soul Avatar once more, desperately mobilizing all the remaining Soul Power within his body to condense layer upon layer of light shields in front of him, attempting to block this attack that was enough to take his life.

But all of this was in vain in front of Bao Liang.

"Die."

Bao Liang coldly uttered two words, then waved his hand without hesitation.

In the next instant, thousands upon thousands of golden and red dragon-head cannons shot out simultaneously!

Countless Ultimate Flame warheads, accompanied by a whistling sound that ripped through the sky, poured down on the giant crater where Yan Shaozhe was located.

At this moment, the entire sky above the Star Dou Great Forest seemed to have transformed into a Huo Yu hell.

Rumble--!!!

The sound of dense explosions echoed throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest. Countless Ultimate Flame warheads fell one after another into the giant crater, instantly engulfing the entire crater in a golden-red sea.

The intense heat instantly swept across the surroundings, and the ground began to melt at a visible speed, turning into a pool of rolling lava in the blink of an eye!

Yan Shaozhe fought with all his might to resist this onslaught, while the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul desperately released its Nirvana Power, continuously repairing his body.

Even so, he almost didn't make it through.

Fortunately, the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul was born with a powerful Nirvana attribute, and through this almost suicidal self-healing, Yan Shaozhe barely managed to save half his life.

When Bao Liang finally stopped, the giant pit had turned into a pool of magma with a diameter of over a kilometer.

Yan Shaozhe was charred black all over, almost unrecognizable, with half of his body submerged in scalding lava.

If it weren't for the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul instinctively protecting his heart and vital organs, he would have been completely melted by this magma long ago.

If we don't get him out soon, he'll really die in this lava once his Bright Phoenix Martial Soul is completely exhausted.

Bao Liang looked down indifferently at Yan Shaozhe in the pool, his eyes full of disdain, and coldly spat out, "Hmph! Trash!"

"You couldn't even force me to use thirty percent of my strength, and you have the nerve to come looking for trouble?"

Upon Yan Shaozhe was not angry at all; instead, he felt an unprecedented chill rise in his heart.

Thirty percent power?!

He, a dignified Level 95 Titled Douluo, couldn't even force the opponent to reveal 30% of his strength?!

How big must that gap be?!

Besides, the other person is just a child!

Bao Liang has no immediate intention of actually killing Yan Shaozhe.

After all, Mu En can't die so early. If Yan Shaozhe dies, Mu En will definitely take risks. And if something happens to Mu En, then that good-for-nothing Shrek Xuan Zi become the Sea God Pavilion Master.

Xuan Zi, that good-for-nothing, can't stop Xu Tianran's ambition!

With Mu En dead, Shrek will be severely weakened, giving Xu Tianran a reason to start a war. And once the war starts, Tang San, that jerk, will definitely get involved.

Therefore Yan Shaozhe cannot die yet.

However, just as he was about to let Yan Shaozhe off the hook for the time being and turn to leave, Bao Liang suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked beyond the vast forest behind him into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

An extremely subtle yet incredibly powerful aura was silently approaching this direction.

Moreover, the aura it exuded carried an undisguised vigilance and wariness, clearly indicating that it had come to check the situation only after sensing the earth-shattering battle that had just taken place.

"Heh..." Bao Liang's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone playful, "There seem to be quite a few guests today."

So... what brings you here?

"Di Tian."
