Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 485: Holy Spirit Destruction (6k)

The rose-gold vortex expanded rapidly. Under Huo Yutong's control, it had no effect on matter, but instead specifically targeted mental power.

In an instant, countless evil soul masters had their heads blown off by Huo Yutong's terrifying mental power, and the smell of blood quickly spread underground.

This sudden change frightened the evil soul masters so much that they subconsciously put down what they were doing and wanted to escape.

However, it was too late. Given their situation, it had been impossible for them to escape since Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong discovered the location of the base.

Tang Wulin raised his hands above his head and then clenched them tightly.

"Ms. mist mist mist mist..."

Tens of thousands of black thorns instantly shot out from every corner of the ground, piercing the body of the nearest evil soul master.

Since the number of dark spikes he summoned was really too large and there might be a battle with the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord later, he did not use too much soul power and the power of each spike was very low.

It's just that this power is very low for him. Its attack power is still at the level of Soul Douluo, which is enough to kill most of the evil soul masters here in seconds.

The rest are all high-end combat forces, so we just need to find a way to eliminate them.

After this round of attacks, the number of evil soul masters underground dropped sharply, from thousands to less than a hundred.

Even those who managed to survive were mostly seriously injured and it was obvious that they would not live long.

"Ha, ha, um..."

The Titled Douluo with the highest cultivation level among them covered his wound in pain and took two breaths. Then he exerted force with his hands, and his soul power gushed out, suddenly shattering the three rings on his fingers.

The next moment, he was pierced through the head by dark spikes and died.

Tang Wulin frowned. The actions of this Titled Douluo-level evil soul master before his death gave him a bad feeling.

He no longer held back and suddenly dropped his hand that was raised above his head. Hundreds of dark spikes burst out from the field again, killing all the evil soul masters who had managed to survive the previous round of attack.

As a result, just as he finished doing all this, he felt the space not far away twisted, and an old figure appeared here.

It was one of the two ultimate Douluo of the Holy Spirit Church, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao.

"!"

Seeing him, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong quickly got into a fighting stance.

Their current strength is certainly not inferior to Long Xiaoyao, but Long Xiaoyao is an Extreme Douluo of the older generation after all, and no one dares to say whether he has any hidden skills.

Perhaps because of their respect for Moon En, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong subconsciously overestimated Long Xiaoyao, who was as famous as Moon En.

It’s hard to say whether the result was unexpected or reasonable. After looking at the surrounding scenery, Long Xiaoyao actually breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong and asked with a smile:

"You two little guys, are you two disciples of Moon En? I remember your names are Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong?"

Both of them were stunned.

Seeing the two people's surprised expressions, Long Xiaoyao couldn't help laughing.

"Don't make such a face, this is something that can be easily deduced."

He found a random seat and sat down, pointing at the box in front of him as if he wanted to chat with the two of them.

"Come, sit down too, and let's talk."

Tang Wulin looked at him warily.

"Senior, even if we want to talk, I suggest we go to another place. The Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord is likely to be here soon."

After a brief surprise, he also realized why Long Xiaoyao could recognize him and Huo Yutong.

As two people who have reached the Ultimate Douluo realm before the age of 20, they are very recognizable.

Less than five seconds had passed since the ring was crushed when Long Xiaoyao arrived at the battlefield. Only an Extreme Douluo could massacre the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters in such a short time.

Therefore, from the moment he saw the two young men, Long Xiaoyao probably guessed their identities.

If possible, Tang Wulin really wanted to have a chat with the Dark Holy Dragon, but unfortunately now was not the right time.

Just as the Titled Douluo died, Long Xiaoyao came. Considering that he crushed three rings before his death, one was Long Xiaoyao and the other was probably Ye Xishui. As for the last one, Tang Wulin thought it was most likely used to ask for help from the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord.

If the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord came and Long Xiaoyao joined forces with him to attack them, it would be difficult to deal with.

Long Xiaoyao shook his head helplessly.

"You are indeed smart, kid, but too smart. Sometimes you can't see many things clearly. So, let's put it this way."

He stretched out a hand and raised it above his head.

"I swear to my spirit that if Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong fight against the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, I, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, will definitely help them fight. If I disobey, I will be punished by heaven and earth."

After saying that, he winked at the two of them playfully.

"How is it, are you satisfied with this?"

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong couldn't help but look at each other, both feeling very confused.

The feeling that this Dragon Emperor Douluo gave them was somewhat different from what they had imagined.

According to common sense, the oath made to one's own martial spirit on the Douluo Continent is the most poisonous oath, and no soul master will violate it, but can they really trust this Extreme Douluo of the Holy Spirit Church?
Seeing that they were still a little hesitant, Long Xiaoyao sighed helplessly.

"Okay, do I really look that bad? And as long as you believe me, you will have an Ultimate Douluo-level helper in the battle with the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord later. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I remember correctly, little girl, you are of spiritual attribute, right? Do you really not want to absorb it as a spirit ring? With its spirit ring energy, it will be much easier for you to condense your soul core when you break through to the Titled Douluo."

What he said does make sense. If Huo Yutong could have the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord as his ninth soul ring, then the difficulty of condensing his second soul core would undoubtedly drop sharply. This was one of the important reasons why Tang Wulin was thinking about fighting with him on the way here.

In the end, it was Huo Yutong who made the first decision. She said to Tang Wulin in her heart:
"Wulin, I think we can trust him."

At the last moment of the battle with Ye Xishui, she saw Ye Xishui's memory.

Although the content was not comprehensive, I still saw a lot of information about Long Xiaoyao from Ye Xishui.

Judging from the contents of those memories, Long Xiaoyao would most likely not do something like going back on his word.

Since Huo Yutong said so, Tang Wulin no longer had any objections.

He nodded, took Huo Yutong's hand and came to sit not far in front of Long Xiaoyao, and said in a deep voice:
"Long story short."

Long Xiaoyao laughed and said:

"It doesn't matter. Xieyan is now very close to the next catastrophe. He has been in a deep sleep all this time to prepare for the next catastrophe. The Holy Spirit Church's call for help will wake him up, but it will take at least a few minutes to wait for his rescue. This period of time is enough."

The three rings that the Titled Douluo crushed were originally a set.

Normally, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church always has multiple Titled Douluo or even Super Douluo-level evil soul masters stationed there. Even if it is not impregnable, it is something that ordinary people cannot do anything about.

The only one who could inflict a devastating blow to the Holy Spirit Church's headquarters was a powerful being at the Extreme Douluo level.

Therefore, Tang Wulin’s guess was correct. The three rings corresponded to Long Xiaoyao, Ye Xishui, and the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord respectively.

According to the original plan, if the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters encountered a crisis and the three rings were broken, the first to arrive would be Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, the two Ultimate Douluos.

With these two veteran Extreme Douluo around, even if Emperor Tian came in person, it would be difficult to destroy the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church in a short period of time.

The two Extreme Douluo only need to buy a few minutes to completely awaken the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, and then the three world-class strongmen will surround and beat him. Even Di Tian can't get the upper hand in front of this level of camp.

But now this process has been completely disrupted.

Ye Xishui died at the hands of Huo Yutong, and it was impossible for him to come to rescue her.

Although Long Xiaoyao came, it seemed that he had no intention of protecting the Holy Spirit Church together with the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord. Instead, he wanted to work with Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong to get rid of the other party.

As for the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord... he will indeed follow the original plan, but unfortunately this time he will face a beating from three Extreme Douluo-level strongmen.

Tang Wulin looked at Long Xiaoyao in front of him with a somewhat strange expression. For some reason, he always felt that Long Xiaoyao's expression was particularly open-minded, as if he had finally let it go after struggling for hundreds of years.

Long Xiaoyao smiled and asked:

"First, let me ask you a question. You were the ones who killed Xishui, right?"

A bombshell was dropped right at the start, and Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong couldn't help but hold their breath.

But both of them were men who dared to act and take responsibility, and after a slight hesitation, they nodded together.

Long Xiaoyao suddenly laughed.

"You are very honest. Although white lies are not bad, I still prefer honest children. You are very good. Moon really accepted two good disciples."

Then he let out another long sigh.

"Don't be afraid. I have no intention of seeking revenge on you. Xishui has harmed too many people. Although I want to protect her, I won't blame the person who killed her after her death."

He scratched his hair and said:
"By the way, let me tell you the story of me, Xishui, and Moon. This story has been in my heart for almost two hundred years, and I have long wanted to find someone to talk to."

Something happened that he had not expected. Hearing what he said, Huo Yutong immediately revealed an unspeakable expression.

"Um...Senior Long Xiaoyao, I know your story from the past."

"Huh?" Long Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, "Why, have you heard from Moon?"

Huo Yutong shook his head gently. "No, I spied on Ye Xishui's memory when I was fighting her, and learned about your story with her from her memory...but the truth may not be what you think."

Long Xiaoyao couldn't help but frown.

"What do you mean, do you mean Xishui is hiding something from me?"

"Ah."

Huo Yutong sighed and asked:

"If I'm not mistaken, the thing you regret most in your life is that you didn't leave in time that night, thus hurting the teacher and Ye Xishui, right?"

"That's right."

Long Xiaoyao nodded calmly.

It was also because of what happened that night that he, once one of the Black and White Holy Dragons, chose to join the Holy Spirit Church and help Ye Xishui.

Huo Yutong showed a hint of reluctance on her face, but she finally decided to tell the cruel truth to the Dragon Emperor Douluo.

"What happened that night was actually planned by Ye Xishui."

"……What did you say?"

Long Xiaoyao looked like he couldn't understand what Huo Yutong was saying.

Huo Yutong repeated:

"What happened that night was entirely planned by Ye Xishui."

"Etc., etc!"

Long Xiaoyao quickly stretched out his hand to stop her from talking and asked:

"It's not that I didn't hear clearly, I just don't understand the logic behind it. What reason does Xishui have to do this?"

Huo Yutong couldn't help but reveal a look of compassion.

"Because she wants to bind you to the Holy Spirit Church."

"..."

Long Xiaoyao was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that he did not refute immediately, Huo Yutong told him what she knew about the scam Ye Xishui had set on Long Xiaoyao and Moon En.

"Ye Xishui was a member of the Holy Spirit Church from the beginning. The reason she approached you and the teacher was because she wanted to tie the two geniuses of the younger generation to her side. Even if that didn't work, she would destroy you, or at least make you two go your separate ways."

"As expected, both of you developed feelings for her under her deliberate inducement, which led to conflicts to a certain extent."

"But what exceeded her expectations was that the relationship between you and the teacher was much better than she thought. You didn't really become enemies because of your love for her. Instead, you reached an agreement in private to compete fairly and swear that the loser would not hate the winner. No matter what the result is, you are still friends."

"So after thinking about it, she came up with an even more outrageous plan."

"She first hooked up with the teacher because, compared to you, the teacher was the most dazzling genius in Shrek Academy at the time and the first heir to the future leader of the Sea God Pavilion. His value was much greater."

"After that, she planned something that would make you suffer for the rest of your life, so that you would never be able to face your teacher again. She also managed to tie you to her side, forcing you to work for the Holy Spirit Church for the rest of your life."

"All her actions were premeditated. Maybe she did have some feelings for you, but your whole life was ruined by her plan. To be honest, I really feel sorry for you and for the teacher."

Long Xiaoyao listened to Huo Yutong's words with a serious face and did not interrupt. However, the more he listened, the heavier his expression became. In the end, it was almost so heavy that water could drip out of it.

Although he was unwilling to believe it, many of the things Huo Yutong said could only be said by someone who knew the truth of that year. At least Xuan Zi could not know the details of these things. The only two people who might tell her were Moon En and Ye Xishui.

Long Xiaoyao knew Moon En very well, and he believed that Moon En would never tell Huo Yutong about this matter. So, did she say that everything she said was true?

Tang Wulin was stunned by what he heard.

According to Huo Yutong, it can be said that Long Xiaoyao's life was ruined in the hands of Ye Xishui. This Death Douluo was not only a demon who had killed countless people, but also a vicious woman who would deceive people's feelings in order to ruin other people's lives.

Just by listening to Huo Yutong's story, Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

After a long silence, Long Xiaoyao finally let out a long sigh.

"Maybe what you said is true, but at this moment, it all has no meaning."

He looked up.

"Moon is dead, Xishui is dead too. Even if I want to apologize to Moon or question Xishui, it's too late now."

He was the only one left of the trio, so he felt that nothing mattered anymore.

When he learned the news two days ago that the Tianhun Empire's front line had been completely defeated and everyone including Ye Xishui had died in the battle, his heart was unexpectedly calm despite the intense pain it felt.

He was not so excited as to want to destroy the world, nor did he have any intention of seeking revenge on those who were originally from the Three Kingdoms in Douluo. He just felt that he had let things go in an instant, and at the same time, he had lost the motivation to continue living.

After all, what happened back then disappeared with Ye Xishui's death, and he also lost the meaning of living. If Moon hadn't found a way to find him before he died and told him to take care of his two disciples, he might have committed suicide the moment he got the news.

Long Xiaoyao is actually dead, and what remains here is just an empty shell.

He shook his head slightly, turned his attention back to the two young men, and smiled:
"Forget it, since you all know it, even more than an old man like me, there is no need for me to say more. Let's get down to business."

He said seriously:

"During the years that I spent in the Holy Spirit Church to compensate Xishui, although I did not directly participate in the evil deeds, I did help them a lot after all. So you don't have to think that I am a good person. I am an unforgivable evildoer. For the sake of those people I killed, I must die, otherwise I will not be able to forgive myself."

Just as he said, no matter what he thought in his heart and what his actual behavior was, from the moment he joined the Holy Spirit Church, the once noble Dark Holy Dragon no longer existed, and was replaced by the abetting Dragon Emperor Douluo.

Over the years, whether he did it voluntarily or involuntarily, the help he had done for the Holy Spirit Church had piled up like a mountain.

If it weren't for his support, the Sun-Moon Empire might not have dared to start a war so quickly.

If it weren't for his backing, the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church might not have been so rampant.

If he hadn't been their backer, there wouldn't be so many ordinary people in this world whose families had been destroyed by the Holy Spirit Church.

Even taking the current situation as an example, if the Holy Spirit Church did not have two Extreme Douluo, it might not be possible to reach a cooperation with the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord.

He deserved to die.

"But I can't die yet."

There was pain in his eyes.

"I'm sorry to Moon. No matter whether what you said is true or not, I'm sorry to him, so I have to agree to his request. Before he died, he asked me to take good care of you two and help you. I have to do something for you before I die."

"But the problem is that you are growing too fast. In the blink of an eye, you have grown from the little fellows that Moon asked me to protect to the top warriors standing at the top of the continent. Even now, if I fight alone, it is impossible for me to beat any of you."

"So the solution I came up with is to help you hunt down the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord."

He took a deep breath and said:

"I know you will definitely find this place, and it is very likely that it will happen in the next two days. Therefore, I have been waiting for you to come here and help you hunt down this second-ranked beast among the ten fierce beasts."

"The Evil Eye Tyrant Lord is the most powerful and oldest spiritual beast in the world today, so he is undoubtedly the most worthy of you, little girl. Having him as your ninth soul ring does not mean that your top talent is wasted."

"And there's no need to feel any psychological burden. As far as I know, during the period of cooperation with the Holy Spirit Church, the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord killed many innocent people. Although this is normal for him as a soul beast, on the other hand, as humans, we don't need to hesitate to hunt him."

"In the battle with the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, I will risk my life to create an opportunity for you. You must seize the opportunity and end the battle as soon as possible. Don't leave him a chance to fight to the death. The Evil Eye Tyrant Lord is as famous as the Beast God Emperor Tian. His strength is not in vain. Even you now may be killed by him if you are not careful."

After he finished speaking, a look of relief appeared on his face.

What he didn't say was that this was the most appropriate way for him to die.

Being able to die in the process of helping Moon's disciples is the greatest redemption for him.

Only in this way, when he meets Moon again in the afterlife, will he be able to tell him without burden that everything he asked him to do has been completed.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong were speechless for a moment.

Although Long Xiaoyao did not explain it explicitly, both of them had already understood the meaning of his words.

Although they had not intended to let this Extreme Douluo of the Holy Spirit Church live, they still felt a little sad when they heard him say this.

Tang Wulin was about to say something, but suddenly stopped.

Not only him, Huo Yutong and Long Xiaoyao also felt a shock all over their bodies and raised their heads together.

Although the solid ceiling of the Holy Spirit Church headquarters was above them, they were still able to see the scene outside directly through it through their spiritual power.

The clouds in the sky were pulled to the sides by an invisible force, and a huge eye appeared between the clouds, with tremendous momentum bursting out from it.

Although there was a layer of land between him and the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, Tang Wulin had an eerie feeling as if his eyes had met.

Long Xiaoyao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Let's go and hunt legends."
