Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 75 Pride and Contrast

Leng Yulai, who transformed into the Dark Phoenix, had his aura reaching its peak.

Every feather on the Dark Phoenix seemed to be made of black flames, appearing a gorgeous purple under the sunlight.

At the phoenix's tail, nine slender feathers moved without wind. They seemed light and ethereal, but they contained tremendous power.

Nanali looked at the huge phoenix with a length of ten meters that Leng Yulai had transformed into in front of her, and there was still no fear in her eyes.

As she was able to become one of the Four Dark Lords before she was thirty years old, Nanali’s strength must be very strong.

Now, her soul power is the same as Leng Yulai's, both at level ninety-seven. Although her foundation is not as good as Leng Yulai, who has been at this level for many years, Nanali is still not afraid.

She didn't know some secrets and unspoken rules, but she knew the reason why Leng Yulai had not made any progress in his cultivation over the years.

In her opinion, it was just a matter of damaging the foundation.

And she still has a future.

However, Nanali did not intend to fight to the death with Leng Yulai here.

One end is close to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, and the other side, another hundred kilometers away, is Shrek City.

If the noise of the fight attracted the attention of the strong men from the two major forces, she, one of the Four Dark Kings, would really have to die here.

This is why Nanali didn't understand why Leng Yulai dared to kill her.

"He is indeed a lunatic."

There have been rumors in the church for a long time that Leng Yulai has become a madman and pervert. Nanali thought that Leng Yulai just had the same "personality" as herself. Only today did she find out that the rumors were true.

Leng Yulai took the first step, and the dark phoenix spread its wings. The terrifying flame wave swept out in all directions with her as the center.

The dark bell that Nanali incarnated just shook a little, and a green substantial ripple spread out with her as the center, blocking Leng Yulai's flame wave.

The sixth soul ring behind the Dark Phoenix lit up, and nine feathers flew out like arrows.

The sixth soul skill, Dark Phoenix Feather.

Nine feathers were seen cutting through the air, making bursts of breaking sounds.

Nanali didn't dare to resist, but she had been locked down and had nowhere to hide.

The third soul ring behind her lit up. Looking closely, the huge bell was vibrating at a strange speed, and the green silent sound waves turned into substance and attached to the surface of the bell.

The third soul skill, magic sound protection.

This is one of Nanali's few defensive soul skills, which can reflect the attack received to the opponent in the form of sound waves.

Of course, the rebound also depends on the situation.

Ding!Ding!Ding! ...

Nine phoenix feathers arrived in an instant, hitting the surface of the bell, making a crisp explosion sound.

Leng Yulai's nine phoenix feathers did not attack at the same time, but were arranged in a long line and stabbed at the same place on the bell one by one.

The combined attack effect of the Dark Phoenix Feathers, which already had an armor-piercing effect, caused Nanali, who was not good at defense, to suffer heavy damage.

Fortunately, the third soul skill, Demonic Sound Protection, mitigated most of the damage for Nanali, otherwise she would have lost her combat effectiveness by now.

Step by step, step by step.

Nanali understood this very well.

Having suffered a loss, she no longer held back and directly used the most targeted soul skill.

"Crazy woman, you forced me to do this."

Nanali knew about the problem with Leng Yulai's spiritual sea. Seeing that the other party was going to kill her, Nanali no longer cared about her fellow believers.

The huge body of the dark phoenix spread its wings and roared as its feathers flew out.

The clear and high-pitched sound of the phoenix's cry is long and gentle, yet extremely majestic, as if it is a king.

The phoenix is the king of birds!

From her high vantage point, she swooped down toward the giant bell like an eagle hunting its prey.

"Ding-ling-ling"... The dark bell made a crisp sound, and a layer of sound waves immediately spread out from the bell, merging with the light released by the sixth soul ring behind Nanali.

The sound waves were emerald green in color and spread outwards in a tangible way.

Following the sound waves, countless dark green vengeful spirits swarmed out with shrill roars, blooming outwards like a blowout.

Ten thousand ghosts howl in the abyss, and the devil’s grudge devours gods!
The sixth soul skill, the devil’s soul’s roar.

The severely injured Nanali forced herself to use her sixth soul skill. A layer of fine cracks appeared on the surface of the bell. If she continued, she would even risk having her soul shattered.

Leng Yulai had not expected that Nanali would be so courageous as to use her soul skills at the cost of being seriously injured.

Leng Yulai, who was facing the invasion of thousands of ghosts, only felt that countless resentful souls had invaded her sea of spirit. The sea of spirit, which had begun to heal, was torn to pieces again by these resentful souls.

If he was uninjured, with Leng Yulai's spiritual power in the Spirit Realm, he would have no pressure even if he had to resist Nanali's sixth soul skill.

But she is injured.

This is also the reason why Nanali did not use the eighth and ninth soul skills, but instead used the sixth soul skill.

"Qiang!!!"

(The phoenix is flying, singing in harmony. - Zuo Zhuan)
The Dark Phoenix let out a sharp wail, but its long, sharp claws still grasped the huge bell.

The already damaged Dark Bell was cracked inch by inch and was almost on the verge of collapse.

Nanali didn't dare to continue wasting time. She gritted her teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood. The huge bell shrank instantly and turned into a bloody shadow and fled away.

The secret method of the Holy Spirit Church, a blood escape at the cost of burning one's life.

"Leng Yulai, just wait for me. I, Nanali, will never do anything until I have my revenge!"

Nanali, who had turned into a bloody shadow and was fleeing at high speed, was suddenly grabbed by a big hand and did not even have time to finish her harsh words.

Leng Yulai had already exited the state of his martial spirit's true body, and was half-kneeling on the ground with a listless look on his face.

Her face was pale, and two bloody tears slid down her cheeks and out of her eyes.

The intense pain coming from her spiritual sea made her unable to help but let out a slight moan.

Qiangudieting arrived in an instant from ten miles away, carrying the seriously injured Nanali in one hand.

Nanali, who was held in the hand of Qiangudieting, was shaking like a sieve. Blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth and her eyes were full of fear and despair.

She never imagined that the person who came would be a powerful person whose mental power had broken through to the god level.

Nanali is a mind control soul master, and her mental power has long reached the peak of the spiritual realm.

And just now, in her brief clash with Qiangudieting, her proud mental power was like a firefly trying to rival the bright moon.

If you don't see me, you are like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky; if you see me, it is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

Even when facing the Ghost Emperor, Nanali would not feel so powerless!

"Senior...Senior, I don't know..."

At this moment, Nanali was full of desire to survive.

"Shut up."

The simple two words "Qiangudieting" made Nanali dare not say anything.

Casually throwing the seriously injured Nanali aside, Qiangudieting walked forward to check Leng Yulai's injuries.

Leng Yulai endured the pain and said with difficulty: "Kill... Kill her, she is targeting, targeting Xiaotian."

Qiangudieting put one hand on Leng Yulai's back and used his soul power to help her steady her breathing.

"Child, don't talk for now, stabilize your injury."

Qiangudieting frowned slightly, feeling a little tricky.

Leng Yulai's old illness had almost fully recovered under Qiangu Qitian's care, but now with this injury, not only had all his previous efforts gone to waste, but the new injury plus the old one was like adding insult to injury.

Seeing the old man stabilizing Leng Yulai's injuries, Nanali widened her eyes in disbelief.

Then, the despair on his face almost overflowed.

"It's over, it's over."

After Leng Yulai was able to regulate his breathing on his own, Qiangudieting came to deal with Nanali who was lying on the side.

"I don't care what you do in Shrek City, but you've extended your hand to my Spirit Pagoda's territory, and you have designs on my grandson..."

Qiangu Dieting narrowed his eyes, emitting a chilling light that captivated the soul.

"Holy Spirit Church, do you want to start a war with my Spiritual Pagoda?"

Nanali trembled all over and said quickly: "I dare not, I dare not, I dare not."

After saying "I don't dare" three times, she trembled and said,

"This is all a misunderstanding. I'm just curious about what kind of person could make Sister Leng linger on..."

Nunnally was almost crying.

Investigating Leng Yulai and Qiangu Qitian was really just out of curiosity.

But she never expected that the little man had such a big background...

Curiosity killed the cat.

"Your status in the Holy Spirit Church is not low."

Hearing this, Nanali's eyes sparkled, and at this moment, her desire to survive reached its peak.

"Senior, I am one of the four new dark kings of the Holy Spirit Church, codenamed Dark Bell."

Qiangudieting could judge from Nanali's soul power that her status in the Holy Spirit Church was definitely not low.

If we kill it here, we will inevitably have too many entanglements with the Holy Spirit Church in the future.

If he did that, Qiangu Qitian might end up falling into a bigger vortex.

This result is also what Qiangu Dieting wants to see.

"Dark Bell..."

"Senior, just call me Little Bell."

Nunnally kept a very low profile.

She would do anything to survive.

Qiangu Dieting looked at the king in front of him who was so sensible, and there was no need to use coercion and inducement.

"I'll give you a chance to live."

"Senior, tell me."

Nanali endured the severe pain and knelt on the ground swiftly, extremely respectful.

"I know that there is a secret method in the Holy Spirit Church that allows people to keep secrets. I only have one request, keep secret everything you know about my grandson and Xiao Leng. You are a smart person and you know what to do."

Leng Yulai on the side was able to stand with difficulty. She knew that her considerations were not good enough.

Nowadays, Qiangudieting’s approach is currently the safest one.

In order to prevent Nanali from trying any tricks, Leng Yulai prepared to personally urge her to take the oath.

How could Nanali dare to be clever? The person opposite her was an old fox. Did she have the capital to do so?

She bit her finger, drew a strange symbol on the ground, and then began to swear:
"I, Nunnally..."

… “Senior, can I go now?”

Nanali's face was pale and her spirit was extremely depressed. She looked much worse than Leng Yulai.

What supports her now is the desire to survive.

"get out."

Nunnally's petite body immediately disappeared.

Qiangu Dieting looked at Leng Yulai and suddenly asked, "Xiao Leng, do you like Xiaotian?"

"Ah I……"

Leng Yulai was caught off guard by the question. She hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say.

In the end, she just lowered her head with a slight blush on her cheeks.

Qiangu Dieting smiled kindly and said, "Okay, I've seen this trend between you for a long time."

"Then... Senior, do you have no objection? After all, I am older than Xiaotian, much older..."

At the end, Leng Yulai couldn't continue.

Before this, Leng Yulai's feelings for Qiangu Qitian were vague, and even she herself did not realize how important Qiangu Qitian was in her heart.

But the appearance of Nanali completely confused her and also lifted the last veil.

When she heard Nanali mention Qiangu Qitian, she became nervous and angry, and could hardly control her emotions...

At that time, her heart was filled with the eternal love.

Leng Yulai truly felt what it felt like to love someone.

"What's wrong with that?" Qiangu Dieting understood. "Hey, I was also 200 years old when I had Xiaotian's mother. Xiaotian's grandmother is a lot younger than me."

"At that time, I only had desire. As for you and Xiaotian, I can see the bond between you two."

"Although I am of the same generation as your father, you should still call me the same as Xiaotian from now on."

Qiangu Dieting still couldn't forget it and wanted to take advantage of his old friend.

Leng Yulai has no feelings for his cheap father.

Ever since she awakened her martial spirit, she has never received even a trace of care from her father.

Only in the hazy memories of childhood, there is a picture of her sitting on her father's shoulders and clapping her hands happily.

At that time, her sister Leng Yaozhu was sitting on the other side and also smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Whether you love or not, it has become the past and is no longer important.

She now has something more beautiful that is worth protecting.

"Grandpa."

When Leng Yulai said these two words, he felt a burning sensation on his face, but in his heart, he felt a little happy.

"You recovered well before, it seems that Xiaotian is fully capable of helping you heal." Qiangu Dieting's words were still gentle, "Xiaotian's heart is much more mature than his appearance. He is very wary, but he was able to accept you so quickly, which shows that he has you in his heart."

"But, we'll have to put up with that kind of thing for a few more years."

Qiangu Dieting warned.

Leng Yulai nodded with a red face to show that she understood.

She spat lightly: "Who cares about that kid's two taels of meat."

……

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Qiangu Qitian returned home.

After bidding farewell to Qiangu Ming, Qiangu Qitian pushed open the door of the villa.

As soon as he entered the room, Qiangu Qitian saw Leng Yulai sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and knees bent, in a daze.

At first glance, Qiangu Qitian noticed something was wrong.

He frowned and said in a serious tone: "Why is your injury getting worse?"

Qiangu Qitian, who possesses healing abilities, can tell a person's general condition with just one glance.

Not to mention, it was Leng Yulai, who he spent every day with.

Leng Yulai took a shower after coming back and changed into her usual black miniskirt.

She glanced at Qiangu Qitian and saw that he looked serious but concerned, and she felt an indescribable joy in her heart.

But what was shown was that Leng Yulai said coldly: "What do you care!"

Seeing that Leng Yulai didn't take care of his body, Qiangu Qitian was furious.

He walked quickly to Leng Yulai and sat down next to her. He unceremoniously pinched her wrist with one hand and put the other hand on her forehead.

Leng Yulai felt a little uncomfortable with Qiangu Qitian's rough actions, but she just let Qiangu Qitian do it.

"Wasn't the Sea of Spirit already repaired? How come it's broken again?!"

Qiangu Qitian's voice rose three points.

"What does it have to do with you?! I...what are you doing?!"

Leng Yulai felt dizzy and her body was pressed against Qiangu Qitian's legs.

With her strength, it would be effortless for her to break free, but she just struggled a few times symbolically and didn't make any more violent movements.

"Snapped!"

Qiangu Qitian hit that round butt.

An amazingly elastic and soft touch came from the palm of my hand.

Qiangu Qitian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the feel would be so good.

Leng Yulai's face was filled with shame and anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "You little brat, you actually dared to hit my fart..."

"Snapped!"

Qiangu Qitian glared again in annoyance.

"I let you have nothing to do with me."

"I won't let you go!"

"Snapped!"

"You're still hitting me!"

"Snapped!"

"you……"

"Snapped!"

……

"Why don't you resist?"

Qiangu Qitian looked at Leng Yulai who was lying motionless on his legs and couldn't help but ask.

How could he not know that if Leng Yulai didn't want to, he wouldn't even have the chance to make the first move.

Leng Yulai's eyes were filled with tears and she looked a little aggrieved.

When she looked up, her usually proud and cold face was now tearful, and she looked so weak that I felt sorry for her.

She lowered her head and whispered:

"Yes, sorry."

Qiangu Qitian couldn't believe his ears.

This woman just said... sorry?

"Yes, sorry."

Afraid that Qiangu Qitian didn't hear it, Leng Yulai added another sentence.

This time, the sound was a little louder.

"From now on, don't take care of your body like this anymore."

Qiangu Qitian's words also softened a bit.

For some reason, he had a hunch that Leng Yulai's injury this time was related to him.

"Ah."

"Let me treat you first."

"Ah."

It was the first time that Qiangu Qitian saw such a docile Leng Yulai, and he was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

When the wood dragon's soul entered Leng Yulai's body, the latter trembled all over and let out a low moan.

The most difficult thing for Leng Yulai to deal with now is not the external injuries, but the sea of spirituality.

After feeling that it was about the same, Qiangu Qitian retracted his martial spirit and said:
"After I finish my bath, I'll give you some blood to drink."

After saying that, he prepared to get up and leave.

"Hehe." Leng Yulai, feeling that his condition had recovered a lot, looked at Qiangu Qitian with eyes as if he was looking at prey.

Qiangu Qitian paused and felt all the hairs on his body stand up.

He turned his head somewhat mechanically and saw Leng Yulai's beautiful face with a morbid excitement.

Her breathing seemed a little heavy, her red lips opened and closed, and her chest rose and fell like surging waves with her breathing.

The seamless transformation between the yandere and weak state caught Qiangu Qitian off guard.

"You, what are you going to do? I'm warning you, don't do anything rash!"

Seeing Leng Yulai stand up, Qiangu Qitian couldn't help but warn him.

"Haha, weren't you quite tough when you spanked me just now? Why are you so cowardly now?"

"Coward? Haha...wait, you, you are repaying kindness with enmity!"

"Repaying kindness with enmity? You said that yourself, how can you say it's repaying kindness with enmity?"

"You, if you keep doing this, I won't treat you anymore?"
