Chapter 161 What will you do? Only God knows…
Ling'er, that's such a sweet way to address her!
"Yan Shaozhe, you hypocrite, die!"
Three purple, five black, and one red—nine terrifying spirit rings appeared behind her, and an evil aura approaching the extreme spread outwards. Even Cai Meier, who was next to Yan Shaozhe, lost her footing and was blown away.
Yan Shaozhe's expression turned cold. He spread his bright and holy phoenix wings, two yellow, two purple, and five black, with nine soul rings shining around him.
[Okay, everyone says Lao Yan doesn't have 100,000-year spirit rings, so I'll change that; but I've reread the original novel, and it doesn't seem to mention Lao Yan's spirit ring configuration. Maybe I'm reading the wrong version?]
Only then did he notice a red figure tucked under Feng Ling's arm.
"You—what do you want to do with Xiaotao?!"
Feng Ling did not answer his question. Her pitch-black seventh spirit ring suddenly flashed, and a sharp cry once again resounded through the sky. A huge purplish-black phoenix appeared and pounced on Yan Shaozhe.
Xian Lin'er had already been ambushed and seriously injured. Cai Mei'er was still in a daze. Although Qian Duoduo was eager to see Yan Shaozhe suffer a setback, he could still distinguish right from wrong. He quickly took out his martial soul, the Black Dragon Shield, to provide Yan Shaozhe with a layer of defense.
Unexpectedly, even with Qian Duoduo's help, Feng Ling's flying tackle still sent Yan Shaozhe flying backwards for a full hundred meters before he came to a stop.
"puff!"
Yan Shaozhe felt a metallic taste in his throat and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with horror.
Feng Ling's cultivation level is even higher than his own, which is at level 95!
"Ling'er, you—"
That familiar face was once again fully displayed before Yan Shaozhe, but those beautiful eyes were an unfamiliar gray-blue, devoid of their former gentleness, filled with evil and tyranny.
Yan Shaozhe understood that Feng Ling had fallen into the realm of evil spirit masters, and that she had killed countless people over the years to surpass him in cultivation.
Thinking about this, Yan Shaozhe felt a surge of self-blame and anger, and his gaze towards Feng Ling changed, now filled with murderous intent.
Feng Ling naturally noticed the change in Yan Shaozhe's eyes and sneered, "You still want to kill me, don't you? Yan Shaozhe, your hypocritical nature has never changed!"
Ignoring Yan Shaozhe's ugly expression, Feng Ling turned her gaze to Cai Meier, who was flying towards Yan Shaozhe, and Xian Lin'er, who was also looking over with worried eyes, and sneered.
"Look at our Dean Yan, still as womanizing as ever! These two, like me, were probably fooled by your sweet talk, weren't they?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er's faces turned green.
The titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect who had originally intended to come to help all stopped in their tracks, looking like they were watching a good show.
Everyone loves to hear gossip.
Yan Shaozhe roared, "Enough, Feng Ling! You're not getting away today!"
Then, taking the lead, he unleashed his ninth soul skill, Phoenix Descent.
A brilliant flame of light burned, and in that instant, he seemed to have transformed into a true divine beast, the phoenix, charging towards Feng Ling with an aura of intense light and fire.
"You?!"
Feng Ling sneered, and with a flash of purple light, she disappeared from her spot, replaced by a cone-shaped object.
"————That's right!"
As the vice dean of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department, Qian Duoduo recognized what it was at a glance.
"It's a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell! Defend!"
Yes, the Holy Spirit Cult wouldn't be foolish enough to go head-to-head with Shrek Academy. After all, they have the Sun Moon Empire backing them!
The Sun Moon Empire has no shortage of soul tools, and with the Holy Spirit Cult supported by the massive underground black market, the Evening Water Alliance, obtaining a level nine fixed-position soul-guided shell is not difficult. Moreover, this one is a high-temperature, high-explosive type that focuses on lethality.
Their strategy was actually quite simple: Zhongli Wu would lead his men to lure the enemy in from the front, while Feng Ling would secretly snatch Ma Xiaotao away and use a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon to catch Shrek Academy off guard, allowing them to retreat calmly.
It was like a sun falling in front of them. Even if they were unfamiliar with soul tools, as titled Douluo-level powerhouses, they could feel this deadly threat.
Without even considering why such a thing would appear in the hands of an evil soul master, Qian Duoduo activated his ninth soul skill, Wulong Zhenshi, and quickly retreated.
Around the shield, a black dragon coiled, emitting mournful roars amidst the light and heat of the explosion, but it was spared from shattering thanks to Qian Duoduo's desperate retreat.
Yan Shaozhe withdrew his ninth soul skill, grabbed Cai Meier beside him, and used his trump card, Phoenix Rebirth, to escape with Cai Meier.
In this era, the power of a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is comparable to the full-force attack of a Limit Douluo, and its kill radius is even greater.
The other titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect who were watching the show were not so lucky. These blacksmiths who lived deep in the mountains had never seen such a thing before.
By the time they used their soul skills to defend themselves, it was already too late.
The deafening explosion resounded through the sky, and the explosion and intense heat engulfed the air, turning the horizon orange-red.
Less than a thousand seconds later, three unidentified objects emitting black smoke crashed to the ground in an arc. However, they were considered relatively unharmed; the two Title Douluos of the Clear Sky Sect had already vaporized.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the Bone Dragon King beneath Zhongli Wu's feet let out a hoarse roar, its jet-black tail whipping out and knocking Mu En back a distance. Zhongli Wu also took out a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball and threw it at the elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect.
"Haha—thank you Shrek Academy for carefully nurturing this saintess for my Holy Spirit Cult! I thank you in advance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a spatial rift appeared in front of him, and he disappeared into it.
The other evil spirit masters around also used their own abilities to leave the battle.
In just a few breaths, those evil spirit masters disappeared without a trace.
For evil spirit masters who are hated by everyone, how to escape is a required course for them, and they are already very familiar with it.
They arrived quickly and left just as fast, leaving the Haotian Sect and Shrek Academy members looking at each other in bewilderment.
Sensing the brewing Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, Mu En felt powerless and helpless.
Yan Shaozhe and his group were in a period of waning strength, and this level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell could really take their lives.
They themselves were nearing the end of their lives, but they were the backbone of Shrek Academy; they couldn't be eliminated here.
Now that things have come to this, there is no choice but to fight desperately.
With a sigh and his eyes closed, dazzling flames ignited on the body of the Holy Light Dragon that Mu En had transformed into, resembling Yan Shaozhe's Radiant Phoenix Flame, though the energy levels of the two were naturally worlds apart.
He burned his life force to regain the peak power of his youth.
"Ugh~"
A massive white halo enveloped the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball. Within the halo, thousands of dragons danced, and a dense aura of light rose as if it were a tangible substance, turning the entire sky into a sea of light.
With Mu En's cultivation level, even in his partially crippled state, there was no way that this level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell could hit him head-on. Moreover, he had no less than ten thousand ways to dodge it. Even if he were hit head-on, it would not seriously injure him.
The key is that he must now control this level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell and prevent it from exploding. Therefore, Moon can only completely compress its explosion within his own domain.
Only then did Xuanzi realize what was happening, and he quickly stepped forward to help Mu En suppress the explosion of the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell.
Elder Tang from the Haotian Sect hesitated for a moment before immediately stepping forward to provide support.
Mu En's actions also saved the members of their Haotian Sect.
The three powerful figures joined forces and finally managed to suppress the explosion of the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell.
"Yan Shaozhe, I'll teach your good disciple for you! Remember, this is what you owe me! I will make sure you die at the hands of your own disciple! Hahahaha—"
Feng Ling's voice came from the distant horizon, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.
Yan Shaozhe's face flushed red and then turned pale, but he couldn't say a word.
Snapped-!
That was the sound of someone being slapped.
Yan Shaozhe was stunned for a moment, and saw Cai Meier beside him still in the slapping posture, her eyes slightly red.
"You're really something, Yan Shaozhe—you're such a scumbag!"
Before he could offer any flowery explanations, another crisp slap rang out. Cai Meier, completely disregarding her composure, slapped him with both hands, cursing as she did so.
"I'm such an idiot, how come I only realized your true colors now!"
Xian Lin'er, who was in the distance, also struggled to get up, rushed up and slapped Yan Shaozhe hard across the face.
Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er, who have always been at odds, surprisingly reached a brief agreement on the matter of whipping Yan Shaozhe.
You take the left one, I take the right one, making Yan Shaozhe quite enjoy himself.
The two women hit him harder and harder, making his ears ring and a metallic taste rise in his throat.
Qian Duoduo felt a surge of urge to kick Yan Shaozhe, that shameless guy, too.
"Mei'er, you hit too hard! Go easy on me! Ouch, Lin'er, why are you choking me?!"
After exiting his Martial Soul True Form state, Mu En's hunched body swayed uncontrollably, but he managed to restrain himself.
This is terrible! Moon originally estimated he could live for about five more years, but now, he'd be lucky to last two more.
Watching the Shrek Academy deans put on a farce in front of everyone, Moon felt a headache coming on.
Is there any hope left for Shrek if it's handed over to these people?
Seeing Mu En's ugly expression, Qian Duoduo immediately roared, "Yan Shaozhe, aren't you ashamed enough?!"
His shout finally made Xianlin'er and Cai Meier stop.
Yan Shaozhe seemed to have lost all his strength and lowered his head.
Old Tang sighed, stepped forward and bowed to Mu En, "—In any case, I thank Lord Dragon God for his help this time. I hope that my sect's young master will not suffer the same harm as last time at your esteemed academy."
Moon seemed to have truly run out of strength; he simply nodded silently without saying a word.
Seeing this, Elder Tang didn't say anything more. With a wave of his hand, he took the three Title Douluos who had turned to charcoal and left the Lima Plain.
On the way to meet Zhongliwu and the others while carrying Ma Xiaotao, a dark green fist suddenly appeared in front of Fengling.
Feng Ling instinctively tried to dodge, but it was as if there was a suction force pulling her from the fist. No matter how she flapped her wings, she could not avoid the punch.
With no other option, she folded her hands together, while the evil phoenix wings behind her closed, protecting her inside.
Bang!
Like a kite with a broken string, Feng Ling was struck hard and sent flying backward, unconsciously loosening her grip on Ma Xiaotao.
A blue and white figure was already waiting on the ground, and with outstretched arms, caught Ma Xiaotao as she fell from the sky.
Ma Xiaotao had already fainted, her beautiful face bearing an unnatural purplish-red tinge.
-
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched speechlessly. The things that happened at Shrek Academy weren't surprising after all.
His eyes turned gold and black. He placed Ma Xiaotao on the ground, raised his hand and patted her forehead. Black light flashed on his hand, and the purplish-red evil energy that was wrapped around Ma Xiaotao seemed to have found its home and entered Huo Yuhao's body.
Feng Ling was also a meticulous person. She injected the original power of her Evil Phoenix Martial Soul into Ma Xiaotao's body in advance, intending to continue to guide Ma Xiaotao's Martial Soul mutation so as to complete the subsequent Spirit Ascension.
Even though he couldn't take Ma Xiaotao away, Yan Shaozhe could only helplessly watch his apprentice turn into a wicked soul master.
If it weren't for encountering Huo Yuhao, that supermodel monster, Ma Xiaotao might have actually been led down the path of an evil soul master.
"Why?"
Huo Yuhao's expression became somewhat strange. After absorbing the evil energy, he vaguely felt that his level 45 soul power bottleneck had been broken through, and he had advanced to level 46.
That is, after all, the source power of a Super Douluo. I just don't know if this counts as getting something for nothing.
Poison Undying looked Feng Ling up and down in disbelief. "Your martial spirit is—the Evil Phoenix?!"
etc----
He seemed to remember hearing a romantic rumor about Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department, years ago. Yan Shaozhe wanted to inherit Mu En's mantle and marry the dark phoenix Feng Ling, planning to have a pair of light and dark phoenixes.
But in the end, it was said that something happened, and the dark phoenix mutated into an evil phoenix, falling into the life of an evil soul master, and the matter was eventually left unresolved.
As Mu En's first disciple, Yan Shaozhe also had a romantic history in Douluo Continent, having ambiguous relationships with many women. It is said that he even had a relationship with Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy. In the end, for some unknown reason, he settled down and married Cai Mei'er, and only then did he settle down.
That's strange. If Yan Shaozhe discovered that her martial soul had mutated from the Dark Phoenix to the Evil Phoenix, why didn't he kill her sooner?
Those Shrek Academy guys call themselves the continent's inspectors, intolerant of any wrongdoing? And yet they managed to discover a Super Douluo-level evil soul master?!
Poison Immortal shook his head. He had no liking for Shrek Academy. Since an evil spirit master had appeared before him, he naturally had to kill her as soon as possible! He didn't care who she was having an affair with.
As it turns out, everyone is a level 98 Super Douluo, and Du Busi is not only stronger than Xuanzi, but also much more reliable.
He was not careless at all, and immediately released his Martial Soul True Form and the Second Awakening of his Original Martial Soul, unleashing a barrage of powerful moves that left Feng Ling with no chance to fight back.
Just as Poison Undying was about to finish off Feng Ling, unexpectedly, Feng Ling's first spirit ring exploded! As if she had been fully resurrected, she roared fiercely and charged towards Poison Undying.
Poisonous Undying was startled, "This is—"
He didn't let his guard down, unleashing powerful combat and soul skills in succession, once again suppressing Feng Ling.
However, in the ensuing battle, Feng Ling's nine spirit rings kept exploding, and for a time she was evenly matched with Du Busi.
However, she did not linger in the fight. After exhaling a breath of evil phoenix, she turned and flew into the sky, quickly disappearing from sight.
As a veteran powerhouse, Du Busi understood the principle of not pursuing a defeated enemy, and he also had more important things to do.
He spat on the ground, "Damn! This is really weird, do evil spirit masters even have such secret techniques!?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the elite members of the Body Sect who had come with Poison Immortal approached him.
The vice sect leader, the Golden-Bodied Douluo Jin Peng, asked with lingering fear, "Sect Leader, what kind of move was that?"
He believed he was no weaker than this woman, but once she used that secret technique to destroy the spirit rings, he might not be her match.
Jin Peng naturally didn't have a good impression of evil spirit masters, but he was curious to know whether only this woman could do it, or whether any evil spirit master of similar cultivation level could do it.
Poison Undying said somewhat dejectedly, "I don't know either. It seems like I blew up the soul ring and gained a short but intense boost. Otherwise, I would have beaten that woman to death long ago."
Yu Tao, the big-headed doll, opened his eyes and said solemnly, "Never mind then, Sect Master. I sense that there are still quite a few powerful auras approaching. Let's go back to the sect first."
L
Du Busi glanced at everyone, then looked at Huo Yuhao holding Ma Xiaotao and made a decision without hesitation.
"That's right, let's go back to the sect first!"
Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.
Moon lay wearily on a recliner, his face ashen, half of his white hair now a pale gray. He looked like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
In Yan Shaozhe's heart, his teacher was like a father figure, and seeing him on his deathbed, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He bent down slightly and whispered, "Teacher, Xiao Tao has been kidnapped by Ling—Feng Ling and the others. Xu Sanshi, Ning Tian, and others have also requested to withdraw from school, and—"
He paused, his voice tinged with worry, "What should we do next?"
Mu En wearily squinted his closed eyes, and in his vision, even Yan Shaozhe's figure seemed to appear as a double image.
-
"I have nothing to say to you. What you'll do is anyone's guess—"
