Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Descend on the Body Sect, a Great Battle Approaches

"Two extremely terrifying presences are rapidly approaching our Body Sect!" Du Busi sprang to his feet, his expression turning grave.

"What?!"

"Sect Master! Could their people be here?"

All the Titled Douluo grew tense.

"Other than the Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial family, very few people know our Body Sect's headquarters are hidden here. Who else could it be but their people?!" Du Busi's expression grew uglier.

In truth, he was starting to panic.

He had thought that even if Guang Ling and Azure Luan came from some powerful hidden faction, they couldn't stir up much trouble.

After all, with a level 97 and a level 98, weren't those two just about the strongest experts the other side had?

Yet now, the two presences he sensed rapidly approaching were actually more terrifying than Guang Ling and Azure Luan!

What the hell was going on?!

At least four Titled Douluo above level 97! That number of top-tier fighters was in no way inferior to any of the three great top-tier powers: the Body Sect, Mingde Hall, and the Sea God Pavilion!

With power that fucking awesome, why the hell were they still living in seclusion?!

Just what kind of existence had their Body Sect provoked this time?!

Though the situation was harder to deal with than expected, Du Busi was no pushover. In all his life, who had he ever feared?!

"Summon all the sect's disciples at once! Follow me to meet the enemy!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The Body Sect immediately sounded its highest-level alert, throwing the entire sect into an uproar.

After all, this alarm was generally sounded only when the sect faced a calamity that threatened to wipe it out.

"Quick! Gather at the sect entrance!"

Hundreds of Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls rushed to assemble at the sect entrance as fast as they could. Among them were many Soul Douluo.

Elsewhere.

A burly youth with broad shoulders and a wide back, bulging muscles, and long, reddish-brown hair parted down the middle was training his body techniques like mad.

He was none other than Long Aotian, the Body Sect's chief heir!

He was also the strongest of the Body Sect's younger generation!

Long Aotian frowned deeply. "What kind of expert has the sect run into to cause such a commotion?!"

He too rushed toward the sect entrance as fast as he could.

By now, Du Busi and the Body Sect's other ten Titled Douluo had all reached the top of the sect's high wall.

The disciples gathered one after another.

The next second, light enveloped the sky above the entire Body Sect, staining the white clouds gold as a force parted them.

Qian Daoliu descended with an overwhelming presence above the Body Sect, six wings spread from his back.

Whoosh!

Bang!

Golden Crocodile Douluo's imposing figure dropped from the sky.

With a boom, both his feet landed firmly atop a mountain peak opposite the Body Sect.

Spirit Hall's two strongest experts both radiated terrifying presences as they descended before the Body Sect's experts, bringing a tidal wave of fury with them.

Qian Daoliu's majestic, furious voice resounded through heaven and earth. "Hand over Old Fifth at once! Otherwise, bear the consequences yourselves!"

All several hundred Body Sect disciples looked terrified and afraid. Under that majestic pressure, many were even trembling.

Even the Titled Douluo elders wore expressions of extreme wariness.

Du Busi's heart also trembled, for he had only ever felt such pressure from Mu En and Long Xiaoyao.

The man in the sky was probably a level 99 Limit Douluo!

But even if he was a level 99 Limit Douluo, Du Busi had no fear. So what if he was a level 99 expert? This was the Body Sect's own stronghold.

If someone came knocking to kill them and they cowered, what face would the Body Sect have left?

Du Busi answered with unyielding force and aggression. "Hmph! Such big words! If I refuse to hand him over, what can you do to us?!"

"So what if you're a level 99 Titled Douluo?! You won't be allowed to run wild before my Body Sect!"

Watching the commotion ahead from a distance alongside Azure Luan, Qian Renxue, and Ye Guyi, Jin Yu muttered to himself, The sect hidden here among these towering mountains really is the Body Sect!

In front of their own headquarters, the Body Sect does have the strength to back up its arrogant challenges.

The Body Sect's Soul Masters all had Body Martial Souls.

A Body Martial Soul was an extremely special and rare kind of Martial Soul.

Generally speaking, a Martial Soul could be anything, including an animal, while a Body Martial Soul was a Martial Soul belonging to a part of one's own body, such as a hand, foot, eye, bone, or even an internal organ.

A Martial Soul that used a body part as its vessel was easier to control, and its abilities and Soul Skills could be used in more varied ways. In effect, its possessor could easily create Self-Created Soul Skills.

This kind of Martial Soul could no longer be graded by ordinary standards, because Body Martial Souls could undergo a Second Awakening and raise their upper limit!

Simply put, Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls were basically all capable of challenging opponents above their level!

The strength of a Second Awakening was divided into grades: black iron, bronze, silver, and gold.

The higher the grade, the more terrifying the power after awakening.

Du Busi had achieved the very highest Gold-Grade Awakening. With his Second Awakening activated, he was undoubtedly the strongest among those at level 98!

At his peak, he was a match for a level 99 Limit Douluo!

Du Busi really is powerful. Unfortunately, the Body Sect may not be able to stop the Great Enshrined and my ancestor. Jin Yu acknowledged the Body Sect's strength, but he didn't believe it could contend with the Great Enshrined and his ancestor.

That was because the Body Sect had obvious shortcomings compared with Mingde Hall and the Sea God Pavilion.

First, it had too few people. Body Martial Souls were rare, and the sect refused to accept other Soul Masters, so the Body Sect was destined never to grow large in scale.

Second, they rejected Soul Tools and refused to use them at all!

That meant that if the Body Sect were attacked by powerful enemies, they couldn't even use human-wave tactics, and their weaker disciples couldn't rely on Soul Tools to blast those enemies to death.

If the Body Sect encountered experts on the level of Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo, at least half the sect's people wouldn't even be qualified to join the fight and could only stand by and watch.

By now, the atmosphere was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Killing intent surged in Qian Daoliu. "Is that so? Some Body Sect you are. Since you refuse to release him, then prepare to die!"

"Hahaha! Die? How arrogant!" Du Busi burst into wild laughter, a ruthless look spreading across his face. "Do you really think our Body Sect is vegetarian?! I'd like to see what you can do to my Body Sect!!"

"Aaagh!"

Qian Daoliu and Du Busi released their Soul Rings at the same time.

Nine Soul Rings rose beneath Qian Daoliu's feet: eight black and one red.

Beneath Du Busi's feet were yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, red, red, red: two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red!

"What?!"

"Eight black and one red!"

"Three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings!"

Qian Daoliu and Du Busi were both surprised by each other's Soul Ring Configurations.

"Interesting!"

Qian Daoliu instantly struck down with a fist.

"Hmph!"

Du Busi gave a cold snort. Without the slightest fear, he punched straight up, his fist tearing through the air.

Boom!

Two terrifying forces crashed violently against each other.

The energy shock wave from the collision between the two top-tier experts swept across the entire area in an instant.
