Douluo: I'll take the benefits, you bear the side effects

"hateful!"

He wiped out four Soul Douluos in one go, including Bai He, who was known for his speed and had a life-saving skill.

With such terrifying strength, Tang San knew that defeating Ning Chuan was already a pipe dream.

Not to mention Ning Chuan, even Zhu Zhuqing in front of him could suppress him completely despite being nearly ten levels lower in soul power.

Is it truly impossible for me to defeat Ning Chuan in this lifetime?
No, I still have the Tang Sect's unique skills. Even if I can't defeat Ning Chuan in terms of martial spirit, as long as I advance to the Title Douluo level and elevate the Xuan Tian Gong to the highest level of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, I can master Guanyin's Tears and Bodhi Blood, the two hidden weapons ranked first and second in the Tang Sect's techniques.

At that time, I will still be able to win.

Having made up his mind, Tang San planned to run away.

After clashing head-on with Zhu Zhuqing's Dark Demon Evil God Tiger true form, and catching the opponent's extremely powerful and terrifying plowing attack, he plunged into the ground, attempting to use the burrowing ability of the Cave Demon Spider to escape underground.

Before Tang San could make a move, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed his back.

At the same time, Ning Chuan's indifferent and mocking voice rang out, "Can you get away?"

"How...how is that possible? When exactly is it?"

Tang San looked up at the Frozen Dragon Platform in disbelief. Ning Chuan was still sitting on the platform, looking at him with a mocking expression.

Looking at Ning Chuan, who had just ripped open his back, his expression was indifferent. What else could he be but a clone?
Ning Chuan wasn't going to waste words with him. With a thought, his clone yanked, pulling off Tang San's external soul bone.

"what"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the arena, and in no time, the other person lost consciousness.

The next moment, a streak of blood-red light enveloped Tang San, just like last time at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and he was rescued by the God of Asura.

"Was Tang San rescued by that person in the shadows again?" Ning Rongrong asked, frowning.

"It's alright." Now is not the time to overturn the table, anyway, Tang San is already mostly crippled. He doesn't have the Haotian Nine Absolutes, nor does he have the Exploding Rings.

Now even the external soul bones have been stripped away, and the Clear Sky Hammer already has eight soul rings, but not even a single 100,000-year soul ring.

The Asura God still wants to elevate Tang San to the divine throne, so let him do it.

We'll just wait until this guy inherits the divine position, then we'll strip the Asura God Core off him.

After all, it's about getting freebies.

We still have to squeeze every last drop.

"Bing'er, you're about to participate in the Sea God's inheritance. Here, take this." Ning Chuan handed Shui Bing'er the Earth Demon Spider's external soul bone that he had just taken from Tang San.

Once the other party becomes the Sea God, wouldn't that make him the equivalent of the entire Eight Wings of the Sea God?
Otherwise, how could it be justified?

"Thank you, my husband." After putting away the external soul bone, Shui Bing'er happily kissed Ning Chuan.

Ning Chuan remained seated, gazing at the people of the Star Luo Empire. "Next, it's your turn, old ghost Dai Tianfeng. I won't mention the kill order your Star Luo Empire issued against me and my partner. Now, your Star Luo Empire has invaded my Heaven Dou Empire without cause, destroying my homeland. I'm giving you two choices: First, surrender unconditionally to my Heaven Dou Empire and incorporate the Star Luo Empire into my territory. Second, I'll eliminate you first, and then conquer the Star Luo Empire."

"Ning Chuan, do you really intend to commit such an act of extermination?" Upon hearing this, Dai Tianfeng was so angry that his face trembled.

"You should have expected this outcome from the moment you started the war," Ning Chuan said calmly, as if it were all destined to happen. Hearing this, Dai Tianfeng knew there was no point in continuing the discussion. He immediately gave the order, "Star Luo Empire soldiers, attack!"

In an instant, the vast, dark army of the Star Luo Empire surged towards Ning Chuan like a tidal wave.

"You're courting death!" Without even releasing a spirit ring, Ning Chuan merely waved his hand, and in an instant, countless crimson light spikes swept across the sky. In just one exchange, tens of thousands of soldiers were pierced through the body, their bodies riddled with crimson thorn-like crystals, dying a violent death.

This was none other than the Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart, one of the two major soul skills of the sixth soul ring of Ningchuan Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword.

Since condensing his second spirit ring, Ning Chuan has integrated the nine spirit rings of the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword into his martial soul, allowing him to use spirit skills without revealing the spirit rings.

The crimson light continued its relentless advance, reaping the lives of another seventy to eighty thousand soldiers in the blink of an eye.

With the frontline soldiers suffering such heavy casualties and the army on the verge of collapse, Dai Tianfeng and the high command of the Star Luo Empire could no longer sit idly by.

Empress Zhu Caiyun said, "Your Majesty, this person is far too terrifying. Let's withdraw our troops."

"Hmm, retreat." Dai Tianfeng's scalp tingled at the sight, but just as he was about to make a move, seventy-two streaks of azure light flew over from afar and surrounded them.

There were seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords.

Before they could react, Dai Tianfeng and the others found themselves unable to move, hanging in mid-air.

Ning Chuan's voice rang out at the opportune moment, spreading rapidly across the entire battlefield with the help of his soul power: "Alright, stop. Let's see who these people are?"

Upon hearing this, all the Star Luo Empire soldiers stopped and looked up at the sky. They saw that all the high-ranking officials of the Star Luo Empire, including Emperor Dai Tianfeng, Empress Zhu Caiyun, Crown Prince Davis, Crown Princess Zhu Zhuyun, and Duke Youming Zhu Tianhao, were trapped by the sword formation and captured by Ning Chuan.

The soldiers, already filled with fear, completely lost their morale upon seeing their emperor captured, and each one wore a bewildered expression.

Ning Chuan first put Zhu Zhuyun down, and Zhu Zhuqing immediately went to greet her, "Sister."

Zhu Zhuyun gave a bitter smile, "Sister, it was I who wronged you before."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, her originally cold face blossoming into a warm smile. "It's alright. If it weren't for you, sister, I wouldn't be where I am today. And I also know that from beginning to end, you never intended to kill me."

Zhu Zhuyun nodded, her gaze towards Ning Chuan filled with complex emotions.

Ning Chuan looked at Zhu Tianhao, "Father-in-law, are you willing to surrender?"

Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun advised:
"Father, surrender."

"Surrender, Father."

Hearing his two daughters' words, and knowing he was already a prisoner, what could Zhu Tianhao say? He gave a bitter smile and said, "The Netherworld Legion is willing to surrender."

When Ning Chuan unleashed that terrifying soul skill that was like a meat grinder, he killed mostly the White Tiger Legion loyal to the Dai family of the Star Luo royal family.

It is mainly used for deterrence.

Upon hearing that Zhu Tianhao had surrendered, the Netherworld Legion, numbering 100,000 men, also laid down their weapons without hesitation.

Ning Chuan nodded in satisfaction and put Zhu Tianhao down as well. "Father-in-law, from this day forward, the Netherworld Legion will continue to be under your command. I hope you will not disappoint me."
