Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 399 Fei Yan Shao Zhe, beheads the Sea God Pavilion Master, and vanishes into thin air.
The capital city was vast, the moon hung high in the sky, and fierce fighting cracked the earth, turning large swathes of land into an ancient battlefield, where blood was spilled everywhere.

Xu Tianxi descended from the sky, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, sweeping over every evil soul master as if he were pondering how to annihilate them.

He quickly made a decision and ordered, "Capture them all alive and seal their soul power on the spot; they destroyed the Imperial Prison, and they will suffer the same fate as these people!"

"Yes!" The father and son of Qian Gu and the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai responded and led their troops to capture the remaining Holy Spirit Cult forces that had lost their will to fight.

When the chains were on their bodies, some of the Holy Spirit Cult members tried to resist, which aroused their desire to survive.

However, Xu Tianxi was like a god of death high in the heavens; if anyone resisted, his eyes would immediately blaze with divine light, radiating outwards.

The bright moon behind him shone on Tsinghua University. His mental attack reached its peak during this period. Even if Zhongli Wu and Long Xiaoyao tried to withstand it, they would not fare well. Any resister who was hit would have their mental sea pierced directly, and their body and soul would be destroyed.

In previous battles, he had hardly used the power of his first martial soul, not because he couldn't, but because he wanted to hold back; he had a premonition that tonight's battle would not be so simple.

The Holy Spirit Cult's top experts fell here; the Xuanming Sect and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect entered the Sun Moon Empire; the elites of Shrek Academy and Haotian Sect were almost wiped out; the Body Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan suffered heavy losses; and Seagod Island also suffered losses. It was truly a shocking sight.

With this shift in power, the top-tier military forces of the original Three Kingdoms would be virtually unable to contend with the Sun and Moon again after this battle.

If someone wants to harm him, now is the last chance; otherwise, the original Three Kingdoms will surely fall to the Soul Guidance Legion of the Sun Moon Empire in the future, and that Sea God will not be able to forcibly descend to the mortal realm this time to coerce the orphan and widow.

After all, his nominal "daughter" had been taken away, and he had lost his biggest leverage.

Soon, the remnants of the Holy Spirit Cult were captured alive. Qian Gu Cang Hai counted the number and reported it:
“Your Highness, we have captured two Super Douluo, three Title Douluo, twelve Soul Douluo, and more than twenty Soul Saints here.”

"Yan Shaozhe has also been retied by us. The tenth elder of Haotian Sect was too weak and died in the melee."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxi glanced down, his gaze settling on Yan Shaozhe, who had returned to prison. He nodded slightly and sighed softly.
"Twelve years have passed, and it's finally time to put an end to this."

He strode towards Yan Shaozhe, his feet carrying the weight of the air, each step creating ripples in the air.

"Yan Shaozhe, it's been many years. Do you still remember the child you were back then?"

Xu Tianxi spoke loudly, his stride like a dragon and the gait of a tiger. The aura he naturally exuded made the Qian Gu father and son feel a tightness in their chests, and they only felt much better after circulating their soul power to protect themselves.

Gu Zhaoqiu floated up behind him, her battle armor and spear stained with blood. She had just killed a Title Douluo and was staring at Yan Shaozhe with murderous intent.

By this point, how could Yan Shaozhe not know who Xu Tianxi was? His face displayed an incredibly complex expression: regret, hatred, disbelief, and a sense of bewilderment…

Yan Shaozhe struggled to lift his head, gazing up at the handsome Xu Tianxi, and forced a strained smile from his parched lips, muttering:

"I remember, of course I remember. I've lived for a hundred years, and you're the only child who ever beat me. But I never expected, I really never expected, that child who hadn't even awakened his martial spirit and relied on that old man to get ahead could actually cultivate to this level?"

"Heaven has forsaken me, Yan Shaozhe..."

Yan Shaozhe sighed sadly, his expression desolate, as various past events flooded his mind, flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern...

Years ago, he visited the Xuanming Sect, claiming to be a Shrek hero, only to be slapped by an ignorant child. Indignant, he instigated the Xuanming Mistress to ostracize him. Within two years, he was forced to leave home and disappeared without a trace. Gradually, he stopped paying attention to him.

What right does this arrogant little kid, with his innate level seven talent, have to challenge Shrek Academy? There's absolutely no need to pay him any attention.

However, soon, a young man appeared in the Sun Moon Empire, leading the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, stealing the championship from Shrek Academy, and killing his beloved disciple Xiao Tao and his wife Cai Meier, which greatly angered him, making him wish he could devour their flesh raw.

More things were happening. During the battle of Xingluo, Qian Duoduo, his best friend who had argued with him all his life and was always one step ahead of him, was captured and soon lost his life.

Seeking revenge, they launched a surprise attack on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, resulting in the tragic deaths of Xian Lin'er, Elder Dong's death in battle, and Elder Song's capture and subsequent disappearance.

Now... he too has fallen in Mingdu, lying here like a corpse, powerless to resist, a lamb to the slaughter, enduring endless humiliation, about to be beheaded...

Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe, drawing strength from who-knows-where, pressed his legs together to stand up, leaning against a few pebbles to maintain his upright posture, and shouted:

"Do you want to avenge your mother's death? Come on! My fine head, Yan Shaozhe's, is right here! If you have the guts, come and take it!"

He raised his neck, patted it with his hand, and sneered, "Grandpa's neck is stiff, you'd better use more force, otherwise your strength won't be enough!"

Xu Tianxi walked closer, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He slowly withdrew his right hand from behind his back and asked in return:
"When did I ever say that settling scores meant killing you here?"

"Although Cai Meier, Qian Duoduo, and Xian Lin'er weren't exactly honorable when I killed them, and this very cell of yours is where I beheaded Qian Duoduo back then, you, Yan Shaozhe, are still different from others. Don't worry so much."

Yan Shaozhe's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock, "You killed all three of them?! You beast, what do you intend to do to this dean?!"

Xu Tianxi ignored Yan Shaozhe's insults, smiled, softened his tone, and said:

"I once thought of giving you a way out. If you are willing to hold a ceremony in Mingdu on behalf of the surrendered Shrek Academy in the name of the last dean of Shrek Academy, and preferably to put on some dances and entertainment during festivals, then the Sun Moon Empire will not be short of issuing you an identity certificate."

"If Dean Shrek becomes an ordinary citizen of the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy and Shrek City will be disbanded, and everything Shrek belongs to the Sun Moon Empire. This would be a relatively dignified ending for Shrek. Would you consider it?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe was so enraged that he almost spat water in Xu Tianxi's face. His eyes were bloodshot, he was panting heavily, and he roared with his head tilted back:

"You want to make me, the Dean, a tool of your Sun Moon Empire, to have me personally destroy the hope in the hearts of Shrek Academy and its people? You're dreaming..."

"Even if you raze Shrek City and Shrek Academy to the ground, the spirit of the Shrek people will forever remain in the hearts of the people of Douluo Continent. Sooner or later, someone will rise up and drag you all down to hell!!!"

Yan Shaozhe spoke with all his might, expressing his vision for the future.

"Those who support Shrek Academy are the nobles. Once I've wiped them all out, do you think anyone will be mourning at your graves? You're dreaming." Xu Tianxi shook his head, sighed softly, and his voice trailed off:
"Sigh, things have come to this point, do you think you still have a choice?"

Yan Shaozhe's expression changed. "What do you mean?"

"Of course, I'll make you a cripple. I want to take the path of benevolence, but you refuse to cooperate, so I'll have to resort to tyranny and eliminate you completely. You made the choice."

Xu Tianxi smiled faintly, and suddenly released spatial flames from his right hand, striking Yan Shaozhe's lower dantian with lightning speed using the Black Tiger Claws Heart style.

"Ah...no...you can't do this, you can't destroy my soul core, no..."

Yan Shaozhe cried out in pain, his old face contorted with deep wrinkles, becoming extremely ferocious and terrifying.

At the same time, his face aged rapidly, and a large amount of luminous soul power was forcibly extracted from his lower dantian, along with Yan Shaozhe's life energy.

"I have never learned any methods specifically for destroying a person's soul core, so I had no choice but to forcibly shatter your lower dantian. Just bear with it for a bit, there's more to come later."

Xu Tianxi offered kind words of comfort, then abruptly withdrew his right hand, splitting two fingers into a scissor shape, and unleashed two surging beams of soul light, striking Yan Shaozhe's chest and the area above his brow respectively.

That is where the Soul Master's middle and upper dantian are located.

Xuanzi was crippled but regained his soul power and re-condensed his soul core in his middle dantian. With this precedent in mind, Xu Tianxi naturally learned from the experience and decided to destroy all three dantians of Yan Shaozhe.

"what……"

Yan Shaozhe's screams grew louder. Bloody holes appeared between his eyebrows, in his chest, and in his dantian. He was like a leaky wooden bucket, and his 100 years of cultivated spiritual power quickly dissipated.

For a Soul Master, losing all their power in one day is a fate worse than death!
Having given up, Xu Tianxi flipped his left hand and delivered a treacherous palm strike, which landed on the art exhibition's chest.

He had experience with this technique, which could destroy all the meridians in a person's body.

"puff--"

Yan Shaozhe was sent flying, his body crashing into a pile of rocks like a withered tree, his breath so weak he was almost gone.

"Dig them out and lock them up. Execute them together with Song Yunzhi on a chosen day. Our country must kill two Sea God Pavilion Masters at once to announce this to the world and deter all disobedient subjects on the continent!"

Withdrawing his hands, Xu Tianxi issued the most forceful and ruthless order: to use the most domineering methods to break the backbone of all Shrek people on the Douluo Continent, which was also the final fishing tactic.

The execution ground at that time will likely also be the final graveyard for many Shrek people.

Do Shrek Academy have a seed of revenge? Just wipe them all out.

Upon hearing this, the rubble burying Yan Shaozhe's body began to tumble, perhaps indicating that Yan Shaozhe had also realized Xu Tianxi's purpose in doing so.

"Yes." Qian Gu Canghai happily accepted the order. He knew that with Xu Tianxi's personality of killing people by destroying their spirit, he and his son were very likely to serve as the executioners.

"Let's clean up the battlefield." After dealing with Yan Shaozhe, Xu Tianxi didn't make any more moves. He simply glanced at the Holy Spirit Cult experts. Among them were Zhang Peng and Xuanzi, two familiar faces, but he didn't recognize the others.

He didn't kill Xuanzi; this person's identity is even more special, so it would be better to execute him in public one day.

Furthermore, his cultivation level is advantageous to angel soul masters, making him a good fit for Ye Guyi, thus maximizing the benefits.

The return of an angel's descendant to slay Xuanzi, the evil soul master who was once the quasi-sea god of Shrek Academy, will have a significant impact.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to the battlefields in other directions of Mingdu, and a solemn light immediately rose in his eyes.

Kong Deming was personally overseeing things at the palace, but at the very beginning of the operation, the original Three Kingdoms Allied Forces threw two level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells and a large number of level-eight and below fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, causing a huge commotion.

It's obvious these fixed-position soul-guided shells came from the Holy Spirit Cult. Whether they killed anyone or not, he doesn't know. The old emperor was so shocked, he's probably dead.

The full moon hung high, fiercely clashing with the light and shadow of the High Priest of the Sea God. The Sea Soul Masters also seemed to be forming a battle formation, occasionally launching fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs, making the defending forces there hesitant to act.

There are so many concerns when fighting on home soil.

"Should we go take a look..." Xu Tianxi pondered the battle situation while secretly recovering his soul power.

Suddenly, his intuition alerted him, his pupils dilated sharply, and he roared at his surroundings:

"No matter what happens here, don't follow me! And don't worry about me!"

"What?" Gu Zhaoqiu asked, puzzled.

The next instant, a silver beam of light fell from the sky, enveloping Xu Tianxi and carrying his body away.

"How is this going?!"

Gu Zhaoqiu's eyes turned red, and he swept his gun forward, only to miss. The beam of light disappeared too quickly, in just a moment.

Soon, silver pillars of light descended from the direction of the palace, their power profound and beyond the comprehension of many.
