Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 294 Death of Ma Hongjun

As soon as Tang San finished his words of surrender, Bupo Douluo, although full of helplessness, had to act according to the rules.

However, it was too late and tragedy was inevitable.

"puff--"

A dull and terrifying sound was heard, accompanied by a shocking blood light rising into the sky.

The spear in Tang Ya's hand, emitting a cold blue light, moved at a terrifying speed that exceeded the speed of sound, like a scythe of the god of death, ruthlessly piercing through all obstacles.

At this moment, it pierced straight through Ma Hongjun's chest, cruelly taking away his living, beating heart.

This sudden and tragic scene was like a bolt from the blue, instantly striking everyone present.

Everyone was stunned by the bloody and shocking scene. The entire venue seemed to have been paused at this moment, leaving only a suffocating silence.

"No, Fatty!"

"Fourth brother!"

"Hongjun!"

The cries of grief that came one after another instantly broke the silence.

Tang San's eyes were instantly filled with dense bloodshot, like a wounded beast. He stared in disbelief at the familiar figure with blood splattering in mid-air. He seemed to be cast under a spell, standing there blankly, his mind blank, completely unable to accept the cruel reality before him.

On the other side, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were extremely anxious the moment they saw this scene, and their rationality was completely overwhelmed by grief and anxiety.

They desperately broke through the crowd, jumped down from the stands, and ran towards the competition arena, shouting in surprise and full of worry for Ma Hongjun.

"Why? Xiaoya!"

Beibei stood there like a wooden sculpture, as if he had lost his soul, and all life force instantly disappeared from his body.

His legs went limp and he slowly fell to his knees with his whole body weak. His eyes were empty and lifeless, and the pain in his heart completely drowned him like a surging tide.

He subconsciously pinched his heart tightly, as if only in this way could he slightly relieve the pain in his heart that felt like it was being pierced by thousands of arrows.

Everyone from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect was now in deep sorrow and shock, unable to maintain their usual composure.

Everyone felt as if something was choking their throat, making it difficult to breathe, and their expressions were numb and dull.

Ma Hongjun was a student of Shrek Academy, shouldering the honor of representing the academy. Tang Ya was also a former student of Shrek Academy and the leader of the Tang Sect.

Yet, now, she had personally created this tragedy that had grieved her loved ones and delighted her enemies. How could they not feel heartbroken and filled with grief and indignation? This heavy blow, like a huge rock, weighed heavily on everyone's heart, leaving them unable to let go for a long time.

In this heartbreaking moment, Flanders ran towards the ring like a madman, stumbling.

He leaped onto the ring, stretched out his arms, and steadily caught Ma Hongjun who was slowly falling from mid-air.

Hot blood gushed out like a fountain from the shocking wound on Ma Hongjun's chest, splashing on Flanders' body and instantly dyeing his clothes red.

Flanders hugged Ma Hongjun tightly, covering the terrible hole in his chest as big as a bowl with his hands, as if by doing so he could block the life that was constantly slipping away.

Tears burst out of his eyes like a flood, and his tearful face was filled with sorrow and despair.

His voice was trembling, and he kept murmuring with tears in his eyes: "Xiaopang, it's okay, hold on, you will be fine!"

Then, he roared at the top of his lungs, "Someone! Where are the healing spirit masters? Where did they all die? Come and save them!"

The roar was filled with endless anxiety and helplessness, echoing in the silent arena and piercing everyone's heart.

Yu Xiaogang stood quietly by the side, his cheeks twitching slightly, his lips tightly closed, and he remained silent.

With his profound knowledge and rich experience, how could he not see that Ma Hongjun's injuries were beyond recovery.

He knew very well that unless the gods from the divine realm came to the world in person, no one in this world could save Ma Hongjun's life.

After all, even though a soul master's vitality is much stronger than that of an ordinary person, his heart has been ruthlessly destroyed. Even a high-ranking Titled Douluo would have no chance of survival after suffering such a severe blow.

Liu Erlong covered her mouth tightly with both hands, her body trembling violently, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes, and she was sobbing uncontrollably.

She watched helplessly as the once lively and cheerful little fat boy's life was hanging by a thread, but she was powerless to do anything. The grief in her heart was like a surging wave that was difficult to calm down.

Ning Tian and the others stood there quietly, looking confused and at a loss.

Faced with this sudden change, they had no idea what to do.

Zhang Lexuan's expression was solemn and complicated as she slowly turned her gaze towards Tang Ya. This girl who had once taken away Bei Bei's true heart had not only degenerated into an evil soul master, but had also brutally murdered Ma Hongjun in public.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but worry about Beibei's future. With Beibei's personality, it was impossible for her to give up Tang Ya, but Tang Ya had already fallen and killed Ma Hongjun. She really didn't know how Beibei should face all this?
At this moment, Tang San rushed to Ma Hongjun anxiously and opened the Blue Silver Domain without hesitation.

In an instant, the blue-silver light full of vitality enveloped the entire venue, and the soul power containing powerful vitality rushed into Ma Hongjun's body like a surging river.

However, the reality is extremely cruel. There is not enough Blue Silver Grass here for the Blue Silver Domain to absorb more vitality.

The little vitality transformed from Tang San's own soul power was just a drop in the bucket for Ma Hongjun's fatal injury, and it was completely unable to prevent the rapid slipping of his life.

"Brother Sansan, I don't want to die!" Blood kept gushing out of Ma Hongjun's mouth, and his voice was as weak as a candle in the wind.

He uttered these words with difficulty, and the weak voice was like a sharp knife, piercing the hearts of everyone around him.

Everyone felt their hearts suddenly twitch, their eyes turned red involuntarily, and tears welled up in their eyes.

"No, Fatty, you won't die, you definitely won't!" Tang San's breathing was rapid and disordered. He was anxious and tried his best to snatch Ma Hongjun back from the hands of the god of death.

In a panic, he even hurriedly took out several precious magical herbs that he had obtained from the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

He desperately extracted the vitality contained in the magic grass, trying to use it to prolong Ma Hongjun's dying life.

At this moment, he was full of regret and pain. If he still had the magical Acacia Heartbreak Red in his hand, then Ma Hongjun might still have a chance of survival.

However, the Acacia Heartbreak Red was now in Xiao Wu's possession, and she was far away, deep in the Star Dou Great Forest. The situation was extremely urgent, and there was no time to retrieve it. On the other side of the arena, Liu Xing and the others exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with astonishment and sighs.

For Shrek Academy, this was undoubtedly an unprecedented blow. In the long history of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, Shrek Academy has always been a symbol of strength, and there have been very few casualties among its students.

In previous competitions, Shrek Academy always relied on its strong strength to defeat its opponents on the field, and it was rare for students to suffer such a heavy blow in the competition.

And today, they witnessed with their own eyes that Ma Hongjun fell on this cruel arena, his heart pierced and taken away by the Blue Silver Overlord Spear. With such a serious injury, it can almost be concluded that there is no way he can be saved.

In fact, Meteor is not without a way to save Ma Hongjun. The Soul-Devouring Knife in Ye Guyi's hand is made of extremely precious gold of living things. The huge vitality contained in it is enough to help Ma Hongjun reshape his heart.

In addition, the magical effect of Acacia Heartbreak Red and the life divinity possessed by fireflies may create a miracle and save Ma Hongjun's life.

However, Liu Xing and the people of Shrek Academy are neither relatives nor friends, and are even in a hostile position to some extent.

He is not a kind-hearted, unprincipled good guy, so he naturally won't help without reason.

So, he just stood quietly by, watching this heartbreaking scene silently, with indifference in his eyes.

Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot and he was heartbroken. He staggered to Tang San's side, stretched out his trembling hands, and tightly grasped Tang San's shoulders.

His body couldn't stop shaking, and his voice became hoarse and broken due to extreme sadness: "Xiao San, stop it, the fat guy is gone!" Those words seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and every word was filled with endless sorrow.

Hearing this, Tang San froze instantly. Ma Hongjun was already dead at this moment. His originally warm body gradually became ice-cold. The stiff touch coming from his fingertips mercilessly announced the disappearance of life.

"Asshole, how dare you kill my Shrek Academy people right under my nose!"

Xuan Zi, with his white hair standing on end, was furious and appeared on the ring like a ghost in an instant.

He looked at Ma Hongjun, who had already lost his breath of life. His usually kind face was now as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and flames of anger burned in his eyes.

He suddenly swung his right hand, and his powerful soul power instantly condensed into a huge yellow palm, which slapped towards Tang Ya with an overwhelming force.

"Master Xuan."

Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan subconsciously opened her mouth to stop it.

Her eyes swept over Flender's look as if he had been struck by lightning and his heart was dead, and she saw the grief-stricken expressions on Tang San and others' faces. The words on her lips seemed to be stuck by an invisible hand and she could no longer say them.

Her heart was filled with entanglement and helplessness. On the one hand, she understood Xuanzi's anger, and on the other hand, she was well aware of the complexity of the matter.

"No, Master Xuan!"

Seeing this, Beibei, Huo Yuhao and others were extremely anxious and exclaimed in unison.

They rushed towards Xuan Zi without hesitation, trying to stop Xuan Zi from attacking Tang Ya.

Their eyes were filled with anxiety and worry. At this moment, they did not want to see Tang Ya get hurt at all, even if she had just committed an unforgivable mistake.

"boom--"

Just when the yellow giant palm was about to hit Tang Ya, a dark red light flashed by like lightning.

A man wearing a mysterious mask and a black robe suddenly stood in front of Tang Ya. It was Zhongli Wu.

He steadily caught Xuan Zi's angry blow. The powerful impact caused the air around the ring to vibrate violently, stirring up a gust of wind.

"Taotie Douluo, Xuanzi, bullying the weak with your strength, is this the style of the new leader of the Sea God Pavilion?" Zhongli Wu had no expression on his face, his voice was cold, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain.

His figure stood firm in the strong wind, like a towering mountain, exuding a chilling aura.

Xuanzi's face instantly became even gloomier, like a dark night covered with dark clouds. He clearly felt a strong sense of threat from Zhongli Wu.

The man in front of him, the national teacher of the Sun-Moon Empire and also the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, was actually a Super Douluo who had reached level 98 like him. Moreover, judging from the fight just now, the opponent's strength seemed to be even stronger than his.

"She killed my Shrek Academy students. She must give me an explanation."

Xuan Zi gritted his teeth and spoke in a deep voice, enunciating each word. He knew Tang Ya's identity and background very well, but at this moment Tang Ya had already degenerated into an evil soul master and brutally killed Shrek Academy students in public.

If no action is taken, the power accumulated by Shrek Academy over ten thousand years will be undermined.

"What a joke! He even killed my Holy Spirit Sect disciple. It's just a life for a life. You, Shrek Academy, still owe us a life."

Zhongli Wu showed no sign of weakness and retorted coldly. His tone was full of provocation and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Grand Master, Your Majesty Taotie, please calm down."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Tianran hurriedly tried to persuade loudly, with a smile on his face, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"On the competition stage, swords and knives are merciless, life and death are determined by fate, and casualties are unavoidable. Furthermore, the competition must continue, and so many eyes are watching!"

Although he wanted to laugh out loud at this moment, his reason told him that he must not let Xuan Zi and Zhongli Wu fight here.

After all, this is Mingdu, the core area of ​​the Sun-Moon Empire. Once these two Super Douluo fight each other, the Sun-Moon Empire will inevitably suffer the most damage. He does not want to see such a situation happen.

Xuanzi's expression became increasingly gloomy. At this moment, in the huge stadium, the eyes of hundreds of thousands of spectators were all focused on them. Every glance was like a sharp needle, piercing his heart and causing a dull pain.

More importantly, this game is being broadcast live to the entire continent, and countless eyes are watching this tense scene.

If he continued to pester people here, although his original intention was to seek justice for Shrek Academy and speak up for the deceased Ma Hongjun, others might think that Shrek Academy was too petty and vindictive.

After all, in previous competitions, there were also cases of students dying in other participating teams, but they did not make a big fuss or cause trouble.

If he still refused to give in, it would probably resent some people and negatively impact the good reputation that Shrek Academy had worked so hard to build.

Furthermore, Xuanzi knew very well that the Holy Spirit Church before him was not a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied.

Completely different from other ordinary participating teams, the Holy Spirit Church is a huge force and even has an Extreme Douluo in charge, so it is not easy to bully.
