Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 221 If Xuanzi, this evil soul master, becomes the master of the Sea God Pavilion, what will the world think of you? (Bonus Chapter)

"Senior brother, should you kill this person, or should I do it?"

Xu Tianxi stared calmly at Lin Huiqun and asked Ye Yulin for her opinion.

Ye Yulin shrugged: "I didn't bring any good weapons. You come on, I see you're pretty good at killing."

His junior brother is truly ruthless and cruel; Qian Duoduo is the third Title Douluo he has killed.

With a single strike, a century of cultivation vanished into nothingness—how tragic and laughable!

Lin Huiqun's face was as crazed as a vengeful ghost. She gripped the locks and roared angrily, like a mad beast making its death throes.

"You little beast, what grudge do I, Shrek Academy, have against you that you would resort to such cruelty?!"

"Our Shrek Seven Devils have rendered meritorious service to the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years. Who on the continent does not know the name of our ancestors? Who does not know that our Shrek Seven Devils have stood firm for ten thousand years? You have recklessly committed murder, and you will surely die a terrible death!"

Xu Tianxi looked at her, and couldn't help but sneer, saying angrily, "You Shrek Academy has been a scourge to the continent for ten thousand years, and you still have the nerve to talk about merits?"

"Not to mention my Sun and Moon Kingdom, which of the original Three Kingdoms royal families didn't consider you a thorn in their side? You rode on their heads and acted arrogantly for thousands of years. If you hadn't always been powerful and kept preventing the unification of the continent, you would have been wiped out long ago."

"As for grudges, of course there are. My surname is Xu, not Kong. Are you aware of that?"

Lin Huiqun retorted angrily, "So what? Are you some kind of prince of the Sun and Moon Palace?!"

"That's not it."

Xu Tianxi shook his head, his smile turning cold: "My surname Xu originates from the Xuanming Sect. Xu Sanshi is my half-brother. Are you aware of this?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Huiqun's body trembled violently, her pupils contracted sharply, and her face showed a mixture of fear and terror. "You, you are a descendant of the Xuanming Sect? But how did you get here? What does the Xuanming Sect want?"

"I came here for revenge, of course—for Xuanzi and for Yan Shaozhe."

Xu Tianxi smiled faintly, raised his left hand at a 45-degree angle, and a dark golden light appeared, transforming into a dark golden Xuanwu shield, which he held horizontally in front of him. He walked step by step toward Lin Huiqun.

His face was cold, his voice was deep and magnetic, and it conveyed a chilling killing intent and rage.

"Many years ago, you twelve inner court students of Shrek Academy were persecuted by Xuanzi in the Star Dou Great Forest. Eight died and four were injured. Among the eight who died, one of them was my mother, Kong Xiyue."

"Yan Shaozhe went to the Xuanming Sect to apologize, and in front of me he spoke of some bullshit honor, which insulted my late mother; at that time I made up my mind that I would personally smash your Shrek honor to pieces and trample you all under my feet!"

"Clang—" The prison door opened automatically, and Xu Tianxi stepped into Lin Huiqun's vicinity, shield in his left hand and knife in his right.

"What happened at Xingluo Square is just the beginning, and so are you. Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er are outside discussing how to save you, but all they can get are your corpses, and sooner or later, they will end up like you."

The Demon God Blade reflected a snow-white, cold light. Xu Tianxi's tone was frighteningly calm, and his gaze was deep and intense. This filled Lin Huiqun with fear, as if what was about to approach was not a young man, but a deadly being who would take her life.

"No, no, we also regret what happened to your mother, but that was Xuanzi's fault. He has already been crippled by you, and Elder Mu has also passed away. Isn't that enough?"

At this point, Lin Huiqun seemed to realize that the other party was truly willing and wanted to kill Shrek Academy's high-ranking members. In a panic, she began to give up all the principles she had upheld throughout her life.

"You, you wanted to use us to negotiate with Shrek Academy, didn't you? I control the treasures in Shrek Academy's Treasure Pavilion and Shrek City's external trade. As long as you're willing to let me go back, I'll definitely give you enough benefits. How about it? How about it?"

Xu Tianxi walked up to her, paused, as if remembering something, and tilted his head to reveal a smile:
"I forgot to tell you, Xuanzi might not be a cripple anymore. He's an undercover agent of evil spirit masters who infiltrated your Shrek Academy. He recently tricked Gong Changlong and one of your students with unlimited potential into coming to Heaven Dou City and returning to the embrace of evil spirit masters."

"What did you say? Xuanzi is truly a... lurker..."

Lin Huiqun's expression changed drastically, and she was about to start cursing.

Xu Tianxi didn't give her a chance to finish speaking. He raised his sword and slashed horizontally, beheading her in one stroke.

Large splatter of blood shot out, and Lin Huiqun's head fell to the ground.

Xu Tianxi took a few steps forward and smiled at Lin Huiqun, who was still somewhat conscious:

"Perhaps after a few years, he will regain some of his power from the evil spirit masters and return to Shrek Academy to reclaim the Sea God Pavilion Master position that rightfully belongs to him. If an evil spirit master becomes the Sea God Pavilion Master, guess... what the people of the entire continent will think of you?"

"If I were to raise my arm and call upon the people to destroy the evil spirit masters' lair and annihilate Shrek Academy, wouldn't the people of the world rejoice? Wouldn't Shrek Academy... be infamous for eternity?"

Lin Huiqun stared wide-eyed, her breath fading away.

"Farewell, the first Super Douluo I've taken down."

Xu Tianxi flicked the blade, and with a few swift strokes, extracted six soul bones from Lin Huiqun's corpse.

Unsurprisingly, one of them was a 100,000-year-old soul bone, and it was the head soul bone, which was second only to the torso bones in importance.

On the other side, Ye Yulin also skillfully removed Qian Duoduo's soul bone.

Five powerful soul lights rose from the cell next door. Xu Tianxi looked down and saw that the most powerful soul bone was actually a torso bone.

"A 100,000-year-old torso bone? No wonder this guy could withstand a Bear King's claw and survive. Shrek Academy's foundation is truly remarkable."

Xu Tianxi was secretly alarmed. These guys from Shrek Academy were really big shots. Their strength was probably built up from a deep foundation.

"Haha, we've struck it rich! Shrek Academy, the number one academy for ten thousand years, is truly something else! A 100,000-year head soul bone and a 100,000-year torso soul bone—even if we traded them for something else, Shrek Academy might not be able to offer anything better!"

Holding the soul bone, Ye Yulin was overjoyed, his eyes filled with its powerful soul light. This was only the second time in his life that he had seen a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

The last time he saw a 100,000-year-old soul bone was in Star Luo City, when he watched Jing Hongchen dismantle Shi Yang's soul bone.

Of the six soul bones, the torso bone is the most important, followed by the head soul bone, and the limb soul bones are the least important. If Shrek Academy were to take out their soul bones, they would definitely take out the limb soul bones.

Whether four limbs and soul bones that are 100,000 years old can compare to these two is hard to say.

Xu Tianxi nodded happily and smiled, "Senior brother, you've gained a lot this time. Perhaps you can also try to reach level 95."

"Hahaha, not easy, not easy. Your senior brother has already absorbed four soul bones in his early years. This 100,000-year soul bone can only help me for a while, it can't let me break through directly."

"Moreover, breaking through to level 95 is not easy. Unless you have a very large amount of energy, you can only comprehend the breakthrough, which is very difficult."

Ye Yulin held the 100,000-year-old torso skeleton with great affection, her eyes fixed on it.

Xu Tianxi chuckled and shook his head, his gaze falling thoughtfully on the 100,000-year-old head bone in his hand.

He didn't want to absorb this soul bone, but it was a rare and top-tier choice for other geniuses. Who should he give it to?
The faces of Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Xu Sanshi, Ye Guyi, and others appeared one by one in Xu Tianxi's mind. Gradually, only the last handsome and indifferent face remained.

"Old Ji, I, Xu, have always considered you a brother. Let me see if you can break through the limits of swordsmanship..."

After much deliberation, Xu Tianxi made up his mind to give the soul bone to Ji Juechen.

He is the most competitive person in the team besides himself. When his strength increases, the pressure on the whole team increases.

Xu Tianxi believed that Xiao Hongchen and Xu Sanshi would work even harder to cultivate after knowing that Jian Chi had become stronger, and that this was the best choice for both the individual and the team.

"Ding~ Ding"

Just then, Xu Tianxi's soul communication device suddenly rang.

Xu Tianxi connected the soul communication device, and a female voice came from the other end.

"Boss, Teacher Luanfeng told me that she wants to take me with her when the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group leaves Mingdu after the negotiations, so that I can directly enter the military for training. Should I agree?"

The person who dialed the communicator was none other than Yu Mengdi, who had recently become Luanfeng's apprentice, reporting the situation to Xu Tianxi.

Xu Tianxi thought for a moment and answered loudly, "Yes, why wouldn't I? Joining the army for training is a good thing!"

"You absorbed a lot of essence in the battle against the Xishui Alliance and formed a new soul spirit. Your soul power is increasing rapidly. It's a good time for you to go to the army to settle down and consolidate your strength."

"Come find me before you leave, and I'll bring you a parting gift."

……

After a day of hustle and bustle, the capital city of Ming returned to silence as a wrangling negotiation meeting, specially prepared for the Sun and Moon factions and the three great empires, commenced.

During the negotiations, Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er delivered impassioned speeches, and a large number of guardian Douluo from the Tianhun and Douling countries chimed in to support them, completely unaware that their most important target for this trip had already perished before the meeting.

On the side of the Sun Moon Empire, Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin showed no sign of yielding. The three Soul Master Corps Leaders sat high in front, while four Level 9 Soul Masters and more Level 8 Soul Masters treated the negotiation field like a garbage dump, with spittle flying everywhere, showing no manners whatsoever.

On the third day of the negotiations, Xu Tianxi, feeling curious, took his people to see it. Before they even arrived, they heard Ye Yulin and Yan Shaozhe arguing loudly. Ye Yulin, red-faced and with a thick neck, even took off his leather shoes and banged them on the table.

"Yan Shaozhe, go to hell! You're the dean of Shrek Academy who's been humiliated countless times, a Super Douluo who's over a hundred years old and still hasn't broken through to level ninety-six, what gives you the right to swagger around here!"

"Damn it! You wanted to save people? Let me tell you, you don't have Qian Duoduo or Lin Huiqun! If you want ordinary students, you'll have to trade your soul bones!"

……

Xiao Hongchen's lips twitched uncontrollably: "This... is the legendary top-level negotiation scene? It's more like a street brawl in a vegetable market!"

Xu Tianxi rubbed his forehead, turned his head, and took a deep breath, saying, "This is called a frank exchange between the two sides, where they can fully share their opinions."

Xu Sanshi's neck cramped up: "That scene is just too outrageous!"

Xu Tianxi continued translating the coded language: "As long as you can reach an agreement on one person's terms, it means the negotiation was worthwhile, and you shouldn't worry about the process."

Meng Hongchen covered her mouth and whispered, "Then what was the final result..."

"Both sides have reservations about the outcome of this exchange."

Xu Tianxi covered his forehead and frowned, saying, "I can't make this up anymore, so let's leave it at that..."

……

On the seventh day of negotiations, the talks temporarily came to a close.

Through Shrek Academy's active efforts, the Sun Moon Empire proposed to return the bodies of Lin Huiqun and Qian Duoduo for the price of six ten-thousand-year soul bones.

Upon witnessing the gruesome deaths of the two, Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er were so enraged that they vomited blood and fainted from grief. The people from Douluo Three Kingdoms took them away, and the Sun and Moon faction offered to provide medical services, but this was refused, and negotiations were temporarily suspended.
