Douluo II: The nanny is killing people indiscriminately!

Chapter 120 The Sword of Judgment
Meng Hongchen was mocking Ma Xiaotao for trying to kill Lin Xi, but then she stepped in herself. Ma Xiaotao was seething with anger, unable to vent it: "You!"

"Go ahead." Old Ma patted Ma Rulong's shoulder, his hand tightening slightly as if hinting at something.

Ma Rulong firmly replied, "Yes, I will not let you, the Hall Master, or the Empire down."

His tone was firm, and Dean Jing Hongchen's words still echoed in his ears.

"Rulong, you have always been a promising student whom the academy has high hopes for. In this Soul Battle Tournament, you must help the Holy Maiden win the championship. Ma Xiaotao is our biggest obstacle to winning the championship. I hope you can make good use of this soul tool to eliminate her."

Ma Rulong unconsciously rubbed his middle finger, or more precisely, the storage ring he wore on his middle finger, which contained the soul tool that Jing Hongchen had given him.

As he walked past Lian Chen, Lian Chen suddenly spoke up: "Brother Ma, just do what you can. Leave everything to me. Don't use that soul tool."

Ma Rulong paused, nodded hastily, and strode onto the stage.

"Remember, whatever you do, don't use it," Lian Chen repeatedly warned.

Ma Rulong didn't answer, but replied, "Don't worry."

Meng Hongchen took Lian Chen's arm and asked, "Ah Chen, what kind of soul tool did you tell Brother Ma about?"

Not only was Meng Hongchen curious, but the other members of the Sun and Moon team also came closer.

“It is the sword of judgment.” Lian Chen watched Ma Rulong’s retreating figure as he entered the arena, his brows slightly furrowed, his tone calm and indifferent, revealing no emotion.

Coincidentally, she was outside the door when the old fox handed the Sword of Judgment to Ma Rulong.

Xiao Hongchen looked surprised: "The Sword of Judgment? Isn't this the level eight soul tool that Grandpa made? And it's the pinnacle of level eight soul tools. Brother Ma's strength is simply not enough to control it. How could Grandpa..."

Old Ma silently smoked his cigarette, forcibly using the Sword of Judgment. Ma Rulong would have to pay the price of not making any progress in his cultivation for the next year.

Of course, Old Ma felt sorry for his grandson, but it was his honor to sacrifice himself for the empire and for the Holy Maiden.

……

After Meng Hongchen's two matches, Ma Rulong has basically recovered to his peak condition.

If it were a match in the same condition, Ma Rulong knew he was no match for Ma Xiaotao, but she was severely exhausted in team battles and wouldn't recover easily in a short time.

Ma Rulong took a deep breath, and the two of them stepped back, facing each other, to create distance.

This match was a showdown between the captains of the two main teams, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy, and the atmosphere in the arena was electric.

Shrek Academy played their last trump card: Ma Xiaotao appeared. If they won, Shrek Academy still had a chance to turn the tide; if they lost, there was no point in continuing.

Therefore, the final championship will be decided in this battle.

As soon as the match began, Ma Xiaotao leaped up, her fiery wings unfurling in the process. She released her martial spirit, and the Evil Fire Phoenix opened its mouth and let out a long cry. A blazing line of phoenix fire shot out, striking first.

Ma Rulong's actions were equally decisive. He threw out five invincible shields at once. The gold and red ball devices deformed and expanded, layer upon layer, building an indestructible protective barrier.

The Phoenix Fireline struck the Invincible Shield, causing a slight tremor, but no damage was found.

Ma Rulong's storage ring flashed with blue light, summoning a golden-red giant sword that hovered in front of him.

With the release of his soul ring, Ma Rulong's aura surged rapidly. He gripped the sword hilt tightly, and his soul power poured into the greatsword like a river.

Near-body soul guide?
Ma Xiaotao became alert. Ma Rulong had always used a ranged combat style in previous matches, and this was the first time he had used a close-range soul tool. She knew nothing about soul tools and couldn't tell its grade, but the fact that Ma Rulong dared to use a close-range soul tool that she wasn't good at against her at this time was enough to prove that this golden-red greatsword was no ordinary weapon.

Ma Xiaotao hesitated whether to forcefully break through the protective barrier set up by Ma Rulong. After weighing the options, she chose to take a step back first.

Her soul power recovery is limited, and she still has to play a few more matches, so she must minimize her energy expenditure.

Let Ma Rulong finish accumulating energy. At that time, he will take the initiative to open the invincible shield and launch an attack. There is no need to waste soul power to break through the invincible shield.

As for that golden-red greatsword... her strength is close to that of a Soul Saint, it's just a Soul Guidance Device controlled by a Soul Emperor, what threat could it pose to her?
Seeing Ma Xiaotao stop moving and remain still, Ma Rulong subtly raised the corners of his lips.

Just as he expected, Ma Xiaotao would not break through the invincible shield in order to conserve her soul power.

The Sword of Judgment combines the attributes of darkness and light, infusing the enemy's soul power with the power of darkness, turning the enemy into an uncontrollable dark attribute, and then judging him with the powerful attribute of light.

Ma Xiaotao is incredibly powerful; I wonder how many minutes she can withstand the Sword of Judgment?

"Ma Rulong!"

Lian Chen quickly moved to the edge of the competition platform, trying to stop Ma Rulong's behavior.

Huang Jinxu issued a stern warning: "Sun and Moon Team, please do not interfere with the competition on stage, otherwise I have the right to declare your team the loser."

Lian Chen clenched his back teeth, and his once clear and bright purple eyes darkened.

Brother Ma paved the way for her future; how could she possibly repay such a profound favor?

With one arm around Lian Chen's shoulder, Xiao Hongchen sighed and his gaze also fell on Ma Rulong.

“Chen’er, do you know? If any one of us were in Brother Ma’s shoes today, we would have made the same choice.”

Lian Chen frowned slightly and turned to look at him.

Xiao Hongchen smiled proudly: "Because we are partners. We came to the Star Luo Empire to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament, and we will do everything we can to win the championship, not only for you, but also for the glory of the Sun and Moon."

"Winning the championship would be the best reward. We won't lose, right?"

Lian Chen saw an unprecedented seriousness in the boy's eyes, which untied the knot in her heart.

The darkness in her purple eyes faded unconsciously, and she answered softly, "Yes, we will not lose."

At the center of the hilt of the golden-red greatsword, a red line gradually extends towards the tip of the sword, neatly dividing the blade in two. One side exudes a white luster, while the other side exudes a black luster.

A blood-red core magic array was flashing on Ma Rulong's waist and back, with dense blood flames burning fiercely.

That was the power of a level seven soul tool—the Chapter of Sacrifice, which uses the manipulator's life force and potential as sacrifices to enhance his physical strength and soul power, thus meeting the requirements to support the Sword of Judgment.

Ma Rulong raised the Sword of Judgment with both hands, veins bulging on his forehead, until it was high above his head. His eyes turned from black to red, which was extremely eerie.

"Awaken, Sword of Judgment!" Ma Rulong roared hoarsely, and the five layers of invincible shield withdrew in response.

The black and white luster of the golden-red greatsword instantly subsided, and instead it unleashed a golden blade of light towards Ma Xiaotao.

"He is darkness and condemns heretics!"

Ma Xiaotao had been waiting for this moment. Flames suddenly ignited around her, enveloping her in a sphere. The Evil Fire Phoenix spun around and charged at Ma Rulong, intending to attack while defending, and end the battle in one fell swoop.
