Chapter 401 The Great Battle of Title Douluos
Chapter 401 The Great Battle of Title Douluos
Tang San slowly stopped in front of the main gate of the Hall of Offerings.
The gate was over ten zhang tall, cast entirely from fine steel, and adorned with lifelike reliefs of six-winged angels. At the point where the two doors closed, a golden angel wing unfolded, its tip pointing towards the ground, as if guarding the secret behind the gate.
The next second, Tang San raised his right hand, and the dark blue silver grass vines shot out like snakes, wrapped around the door knocker, and then pulled hard.
"boom--!!!"
The heavy door was forced open with a deafening crash, sparks flying from the hinges!
Inside the hall, the lights were on.
At the end of the long corridor was a huge hall.
Six colossal pillars stand on either side of the hall, their tops ablaze with an inextinguishable angelic flame. At the deepest part of the hall stands a ten-zhang-tall, six-winged angel statue, beneath which a figure stands with his hands behind his back.
It is indeed a thousand streams.
He wore a long golden robe, his hair and beard were all white, and his face was old but he was still very energetic.
Although he didn't release his martial spirit, simply standing there gave people the feeling that he was one with the entire hall. He was omnipresent, yet seemingly nonexistent.
Qian Daoliu's gaze traveled down the long corridor and landed on the black figure at the door.
"He trespassed into the main hall and injured the guards."
"Young man, do you know that this is a capital offense?"
Tang San did not answer, but slowly walked into the hall. His footsteps echoed in the empty hall, each step steady and powerful, as if stepping on Qian Daoliu's heart. Dark blue silver grass vines cast long shadows behind him, like a black cloak.
When he reached a point thirty feet away from Qiandaoliu, he stopped.
The two looked at each other.
Qian Daoliu's brows furrowed slightly.
He saw the purplish-black mist surrounding Tang San, his eyes corrupted by evil energy, the strange red light emanating from his nine spirit rings, and the eerie rune faintly appearing between Tang San's brows. It was a twisted scythe pattern, within which burned a ghostly green flame.
"Rakshasa God..."
Qian Daoliu's voice was deep, tinged with shock:
"You received the legacy of the Rakshasa god?"
Tang San's lips curled slightly, revealing a cold smile:
"Junior Tang San greets Senior. You have excellent judgment."
Qian Daoliu's gaze became complicated.
Rakshasa, a first-class god in the divine realm, is in charge of slaughter, evil, and revenge.
Unlike the Asura God, the Rakshasa God's power is darker and more extreme. The inheritor is often corrupted by the divine position, eventually becoming a madman who only knows how to kill.
This young man before me not only possessed the aura of a Rakshasa god, but also...
"I never imagined that after Bibi Dong's death, it would be you continuing the Rakshasa God's test!"
Qian Daoliu's gaze fell on the dark blue silver vines behind Tang San, and his pupils contracted slightly.
"Your surname is Tang. You're from the Haotian Sect? Could you be Tang Hao's son?"
Tang San's smile deepened: "Senior truly has discerning eyes. I am Tang San, my father is Tang Hao, and my great-grandfather is Tang Chen... I'm sure you're familiar with those names, aren't you?"
Qian Daoliu's expression changed slightly.
Tang Chen, the man he fought against his entire life.
Tang Chen's great-grandson was standing right in front of him, and had even received the inheritance of the Rakshasa God?
Fate is truly ironic.
Qian Daoliu suppressed the turmoil in his heart, regained his composure, and said calmly:
"Tang San, what brings you to my Hall of Offerings?"
Tang San did not answer directly. Instead, he raised his right hand, palm up, with a ball of purplish-black flame burning in his palm. Within the flame, one could vaguely see a distorted face wailing.
Those were the souls he devoured.
"Senior, I have come here to seek cooperation with the Spirit Empire."
"Cooperation?" Qian Daoliu raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Whom do you represent alone? The Clear Sky Sect? Or the Tang Family?"
Tang San shook his head: "This junior only represents myself."
"Then what gives you the right to cooperate?"
Qian Daoliu's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority: "The Spirit Empire boasts tens of thousands of Soul Masters, over a dozen Title Douluos, and its Hall of Worship is filled with powerful figures. You, a Title Douluo who has just reached level ninety, even with the inheritance of the Rakshasa God, what qualifications do you have to discuss cooperation with me?"
"Senior is right, my strength is insignificant compared to the Spirit Empire. But I have one thing that the Spirit Empire lacks: an understanding of Tang Chuan."
Qian Daoliu's eyes flickered slightly.
"More importantly—"
Tang San emphasized, "Tang Chuan and I have a blood feud. He killed my brother and caused the death of my lover. I hate him to the bone, and I wish I could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin."
His eyes flashed with a deep-seated hatred, which even moved Qian Daoliu slightly.
"Therefore, I want to kill him more than anyone else." Tang San took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions, "and I am more willing than anyone else to do everything in my power to kill him."
Qian Daoliu was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "How do you intend to cooperate?"
Meanwhile, beneath Xingluo City, the smoke of battle had not yet dissipated, and the blood was still fresh.
News of Dai Yutian's death spread like wildfire among the defending troops, causing the surviving soldiers to collapse in morale and retreat in disarray. The army of the Martial Soul Empire had already breached the outer city and was advancing into the inner city, leaving a trail of flames and cries of agony in its wake.
However, it was at this moment of despair that...
Five figures descended from the sky, blocking the path of the Martial Soul Empire's army.
Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chenxin, Bone Douluo Gurong, Yang Wudi.
Five powerful figures at the Title Douluo level stood in a row, their imposing presence overwhelming.
At the front of the Martial Soul Empire's army formation, six figures stood side by side.
The leader was none other than Golden Crocodile Douluo.
He was tall and strong, with white hair and beard, and a resolute face as if carved by a knife. Nine soul rings surrounded his body.
A level 98 Super Douluo, with the Martial Soul Golden Crocodile, a powerful figure in the Hall of Worship of the Martial Soul Empire.
After Bibi Dong's death, he became the commander-in-chief of the Spirit Empire's external conquests. At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze as cold as ice, sweeping over the five people opposite him.
Behind him, five titled Douluo stood on either side.
Each one of them exuded a suffocating aura of pressure.
Canglang Douluo, level 93, Martial Soul: Cangyue Wolf King. He is thin, with a sinister face and a pair of wolf eyes that gleam with a ghostly green light. He excels in speed and group combat.
Crimson Tiger Douluo, level 92, Martial Soul: Crimson Flame Tiger. He is burly, with a full beard, and his body is surrounded by dark red flames. He has a violent temper and is known for his strength.
Xuanhe Douluo, level 92, martial soul Iron Feather Xuanhe. Tall and slender, with white hair flowing down his shoulders, a pair of gray-white wings gently flapping on his back, with a cold and aloof temperament, he is skilled in aerial combat.
Stone Turtle Douluo, level 91, Martial Soul: Vajra Stone Turtle. He is short and stout, with grayish-brown skin covered in cracks resembling a tortoise shell, possessing astonishing defensive capabilities; he serves as the shield of the team.
Azure Python Douluo, level 91, Martial Soul Azure Scale Python. He has a long and narrow face, cold eyes, and a faint bluish-green poisonous mist swirling around him. He is a poison-type Soul Master, just like Dugu Bo.
Six titled Douluo are facing off against five.
A decisive battle that will determine the fate of Xingluo City is about to erupt.
Golden Crocodile Douluo narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the five people before finally settling on Dugu Bo.
"Dugu Bo, are you sure you want to get involved in this mess?"
Dugu Bo sneered, and a turquoise poisonous mist enveloped him, transforming into a gigantic phantom of a Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor: "Old man Golden Crocodile, if your Martial Soul Empire destroys Star Luo, the next step will be Heaven Dou. Rather than waiting for you to come knocking on our door, I'd rather send you flying back here first."
"You think you can take me?" Golden Crocodile Douluo scoffed.
"With us alone." Sword Douluo Chen Xin stepped forward, his longsword unsheathed, his sword intent soaring to the sky.
Ning Fengzhi stood at the back, holding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in his palm. The pagoda shone with light, and six amplifying rays of light simultaneously fell on Dugu Bo, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Yang Wudi.
"The Seven Treasures manifest as Glazed Glass, with the following attributes: first, Strength; second, Speed; third, Soul; fourth, Defense; fifth, Attack; and sixth, Enhancement!"
All attributes boosted!
A huge white bone phantom appeared behind Bone Douluo Gu Rong, its bones creaking and emanating a chilling aura of death.
Yang Wudi's Soul-Shattering Spear trembled, its tip flashing with cold light, exuding a chilling killing intent.
Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted coldly and raised his right hand.
"Since you wish to die, I will grant your wish."
"Let's do it!"
With a low shout, Golden Crocodile Douluo leaped up and charged straight at Dugu Bo!
His speed was extremely fast, covering a hundred zhang in an instant. With a palm strike, golden light shone brightly, and a golden crocodile phantom appeared in his palm, opening its blood-red maw to bite at Dugu Bo's throat!
The Golden Crocodile Tears Through the Sky!
Dugu Bo was prepared. The phantom of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King coiled around his body. He raised his hand and waved, and a stream of emerald green poisonous mist transformed into a venomous python, heading towards the golden crocodile!
"boom--!!!"
The two forces collided, unleashing a deafening roar!
The poisonous mist dissipated, the golden light shattered, and the two each took three steps back!
A hint of surprise flashed in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes:
"Dugu Bo, your poison is even stronger than rumored."
A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Dugu Bo's mouth, but he let out a cold laugh:
"Old man, you're quite strong too."
The two attacked again simultaneously!
Golden Crocodile Douluo unleashed both hands simultaneously, each palm strike carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks! Dugu Bo's movements were unpredictable, weaving through the palm winds, with poisonous mist following closely behind, constantly eroding Golden Crocodile Douluo's protective soul power!
On the other side, Sword Douluo Chen Xin faced off against Azure Wolf Douluo and Crimson Tiger Douluo.
Silver sword light intertwined with the shadows of the Azure Wolf's claws and the flames of the Crimson Tiger, bursting into dazzling light in the air! The Azure Wolf Douluo moved with ghostly speed, launching attacks from all directions, its wolf claws tearing through the air! The Crimson Tiger Douluo launched a frontal assault, the phantom of the Crimson Flame Tiger roaring, each punch carrying a scorching shockwave!
Sword Douluo fought two opponents alone, yet he was not at a disadvantage at all!
"Seventh Soul Skill - Seven Kill True Form!"
Sword Douluo let out a low shout, and his entire body transformed into a ten-zhang-long silver giant sword, with holy light flowing across its blade, as he swept out!
The Azure Wolf Douluo's expression changed, and he retreated rapidly, but he was still struck in the left arm by the sword light, and blood splattered everywhere! The Crimson Tiger Douluo roared and rammed his fists against the sword, but was knocked back dozens of steps, and his tiger's mouth split open!
"What a fine sword!" Red Tiger Douluo gritted his teeth.
Sword Douluo snorted coldly, and his silver greatsword slashed down again!
Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, faced off against Xuanhe Douluo and Shi Gui Douluo.
The skeletal phantom clashed fiercely with the Black Crane and Stone Turtle! The Black Crane Douluo's wings were like blades as he swooped down from the sky, each attack precisely striking the skeleton of the Bone Douluo! The Stone Turtle Douluo had astonishing defense, withstanding the Bone Douluo's attacks head-on, and occasionally counterattacking with heavy punches!
"Seventh Soul Skill - Bone Dragon True Form!"
The ancient banyan tree's body swelled up, transforming into a giant white bone dragon ten feet tall!
Its dragon bones were as hard as iron, and its claws as sharp as knives. With a single swipe of its claws, it sent the Xuanhe Douluo flying! With a breath of dragon breath, the Stone Turtle Douluo was forced to retreat into its shell!
However, the Stone Turtle Douluo's defense was too strong, and the Bone Dragon's sharp claws could not break through his turtle shell!
"A skeleton, and that's all the strength you have?"
Stone Turtle Douluo poked his head out from the turtle shell, grinned maliciously, and punched the Bone Dragon in the chest!
"boom--!!!"
The bone dragon staggered back three steps, and fine cracks appeared on the white bones of its chest!
Yang Wudi faced off against the Azure Python Douluo.
The Soul-Shattering Spear clashed fiercely with the Green Python Douluo's Poison Fang Needles, the shadows of the spear and needles intertwining, sparks flying everywhere!
The Azure Python Douluo moved with unpredictable speed, like a venomous snake slithering through the forest, constantly launching attacks from tricky angles! Although his poisonous mist was not as fierce as Dugu Bo's, it was still highly corrosive, and many charred spots had already appeared on Yang Wudi's robes.
"break!"
Yang Wudi roared, and the Soul-Breaking Spear surged with blood-red light. He thrust out the spear, which transformed into a giant blood-red dragon that rushed straight at the Azure Python Douluo!
The Azure Python Douluo's expression changed, and the illusory image of the Azure Scale Python coiled around his body, while the poisonous mist condensed into a shield!
"boom--!!!"
The poison shield shattered, and the Azure Python Douluo was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
"Is that all you've got?" Yang Wudi scoffed.
The Azure Python Douluo crawled up from the ruins, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with resentment and venom.
In the center of the battlefield, Ning Fengzhi held the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, six beams of amplifying light continuously falling on his own titled Douluo. His face grew paler and paler; although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was powerful, continuously providing amplification to four titled Douluo had taken a heavy toll on him.
But he dared not stop.
Because he knew that once the increase stopped, his defenses would immediately collapse.
The fate of Xingluo City rests on his Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
Golden Crocodile Douluo repelled Dugu Bo with a single palm strike, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield, his brows furrowing slightly.
The opponent's tenacity exceeded his expectations. He had thought that with the help of six Title Douluos, he could easily crush them, but he never expected that Dugu Bo and the others would actually withstand the attack.
Can't delay any longer.
"Azure Wolf, Crimson Tiger, come and help me!" Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a deep voice, "Kill Dugu Bo first!"
The Azure Wolf Douluo and the Crimson Tiger Douluo exchanged a glance, simultaneously forcing back the Sword Douluo. In a flash, they stood side by side with the Golden Crocodile Douluo.
The auras of the three titled Douluo intertwined, pressing down on Dugu Bo like three mountains!
Dugu Bo's expression changed, but he did not retreat.
He knew he couldn't retreat. Behind him lay Xingluo City, the soldiers still resisting, and the innocent civilians.
"Old poisoner, I'm here to help you!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin took a step forward and landed beside Dugu Bo, his long sword held horizontally across his chest, its sword energy soaring into the sky.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong also broke free from the entanglement of Xuanhe Douluo and Shigui Douluo, and stood side by side with Dugu Bo and Sword Douluo.
Yang Wudi's spear tip trembled, repelling the Azure Python Douluo, and he joined in as well.
Four titled Douluo faced off against six.
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone brightly, with six amplifying rays lighting up once more, further boosting all his attributes! (End of Chapter)
