Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 297 The Demon Emperor with Bad Intentions

Then, the evil woman turned her gaze to Ma Hongjun's body, her eyes becoming focused and deep.

She tilted her head slightly and muttered thoughtfully, "As expected, the soul disappeared, just like the demon soul great white shark."

Her voice was soft, but it revealed an inexplicable excitement, as if she had discovered something of vital importance.

As if a light bulb had flashed in her mind, the expression on the evil woman's face became more and more excited, and the strong murderous intent in her eyes when she looked at Tang San gradually dissipated, and was replaced by another more obscure but malicious look.

That gaze was like a cold poisonous snake, making people feel uncomfortable.

Then, she shifted her gaze to the rest area of ​​the Nevernight Palace, where she saw Lan Fuzi and Bai Xiu Xiu talking and laughing, and the scene looked very harmonious.

The evil woman's brows furrowed instantly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she soon relaxed her brows.

As if he had noticed something, Lan Fuzi, who was chatting happily with Bai Xiu Xiu, suddenly felt something in his heart for no reason and subconsciously turned around to look in the direction of the evil woman.

However, when her eyes swept over, she only caught sight of a familiar figure from behind. Although it was just a figure from behind, Lan Fuzi felt as if struck by lightning. Her whole body trembled violently, and her lips trembled slightly as she murmured involuntarily, "Mother?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Bai Xiu Xiu noticed Lan Fuzi's abnormality and followed her gaze, but saw only an empty space and nothing special.

"No, nothing." Lan Fuzi waved his hands in panic, pretending to be calm.

She knew very well in her heart that she was definitely not mistaken. The person just now was undoubtedly her mother, the Demon Emperor.

But Bai Xiu Xiu must not find out about this. You must know that the Demon Emperor wiped out Bai Xiu Xiu's entire family. If Bai Xiu Xiu finds out about her mother, she will definitely "explode" instantly, and the situation will be difficult to handle.

"This is quite a farce."

Liu Xing couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of regret. They, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, had long been well aware of the Shrek Academy's domineering style.

After all, in the last competition, their academy had injured Ma Xiaotao during the competition, and as a result, Shrek Academy forcibly took away their eighth-level soul guide, the Sword of Judgment.

Now, the people from the Holy Spirit Sect killed Ma Hongjun on the field, and the fierce reaction of Shrek Academy was completely within Liuxing's expectations.

However, the Holy Spirit Sect is not the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy that Ren Xuanzi controlled at that time.

The Holy Spirit Sect is an organization of evil soul masters with many powerful people. Even a strong person like Xuan Zi cannot easily overwhelm the Holy Spirit Sect.

In Liuxing's view, Shrek Academy's behavior was a classic example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He couldn't help but wonder, if the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy had a Super Douluo like Zhongli Wu leading the team, how could Xuanzi have dared to threaten the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and snatch the Sword of Judgment from them? He probably wouldn't have dared even if he had the guts.

However, what Liuxing never expected was that Ma Hongjun died so easily.

You know, he was one of the protagonists! Who could have imagined that he would die so easily in this game, without any chance of fighting back? It's really sad.

Because Tang Ya suddenly had a problem and was suspected of being possessed, Scorpion Tiger Douluo could only give up the next game on behalf of Tang Ya.

The people of Shrek Academy looked gloomy as they silently carried Ma Hongjun's body off the stage.

Huo Yuhao personally used his ultimate ice ability to carefully freeze Ma Hongjun's body, just to preserve his body as much as possible and prevent it from rotting prematurely.

Tang San, on the other hand, was left alone on the competition stage.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, as red as burning flames, emitting a chilling aura.

He stared coldly at Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan, each word etched with the icy warmth of winter. He said in a chilling voice, "Referee, she's conceded. We've already won three individual elimination matches. We've decided to forgo the next one and go directly to the team competition."

Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan couldn't help but shudder when he was stared at by Tang San with such an undisguised gaze.

He was full of doubts, not knowing how he had offended Tang San. He always felt that there was a strong murderous intent hidden in Tang San's eyes when he looked at him, which made him feel extremely baffled.

He didn't know that deep in Tang San's heart, he had already planned his own death.

In Tang San's opinion, he had already clearly helped Ma Hongjun admit defeat, but Zheng Zhan failed to rescue Ma Hongjun in time. It was clear that he was deliberately watching Ma Hongjun die.

Just like the previous two matches, Zheng Zhan allowed Jili and Wang Xiaolei of the Holy Spirit Sect to die on the stage. In Tang San's eyes, this was an unforgivable sin.

Tang San's hatred for Tang Ya, who killed Ma Hongjun, burned like a raging fire. The Holy Spirit Sect behind Tang Ya made him hate her even more. As for Zheng Zhan, the Unbreakable Douluo who allowed Tang Ya to kill people in the arena, Tang San had already unilaterally sentenced him to death in his heart, and it was the kind that would be executed repeatedly.

Whenever he thought of this, Tang San's fists would unconsciously clench, and his knuckles would turn white.

However, at this moment he was still trying to stay rational. He knew very well in his heart that with his current strength, whether he killed Tang Ya on the spot to avenge Ma Hongjun or found Bupo Douluo to ask for an explanation, they were just unrealistic fantasies.

The cruelty of reality forced him to suppress his hatred and anger deep in his heart and endure the frustration silently.

Although he felt uneasy and confused by Tang San's murderous eyes, Zheng Zhan still walked to the Holy Spirit Sect. He came to the waiting area and asked a few questions to the people of the Holy Spirit Sect.

Upon seeing this, the remaining four members of the Holy Spirit Sect stood up at the same time. Their eyes were icy cold and filled with chill as they looked viciously at Tang San on the stage.

The eyes of both parties met in the air. In an instant, sparks seemed to fly, and murderous intent filled the entire space, making people shudder.

Afterwards, Zheng Zhan turned to face the entire audience and announced loudly, "Shrek Academy will forfeit the remaining matches in the individual elimination round and will directly enter the team competition, which will begin in fifteen minutes."

The audience was not surprised by this result.

After all, judging from the overall strength comparison, Shrek Academy is slightly inferior to the Holy Spirit Sect, and now its only hope lies in the team competition.

Moreover, judging from the tense and tit-for-tat situation between the two teams at the moment, the upcoming team battle will probably be extremely bloody and exciting, and it will definitely be a thrilling battle.

Everyone was secretly wondering how many casualties would be caused by this fierce battle.

The battle between Shrek Academy and Holy Spirit Sect was undoubtedly the most brutal contest since the start of this competition.

Not only did two people from the Holy Spirit Sect die in the arena, but Shrek Academy also lost Ma Hongjun.

Everyone understood that this was just a brutal beginning, and the subsequent battle would only be more intense. Time passed quickly in the tense atmosphere, and fifteen minutes passed in a flash.

On the competition stage, Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan shouted, "Please invite the players from both teams who will participate in the team battle to come on stage!"

On the Shrek Academy side, six people walked out one after another with steady and determined steps. The leader was Tang San, followed closely by Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, and Cao Jinxuan. Dai Huabin's face was still a little pale, but fortunately, the poison in his body had been lifted and his spirit power had recovered a little.

The main reason he came on stage this time was to use the extremely powerful Netherworld White Tiger with Zhu Lu.

Each of these six people exuded a strong aura of murderous intent. They knew the importance of this game and did not want to lose at any cost.

On the one hand, they shoulder the glory of Shrek Academy and cannot stop at the quarterfinals. On the other hand, they also want to avenge Ma Hongjun, and this hatred becomes their motivation.

On the other side, the remaining four members of the Holy Spirit Sect flashed at the same time, rose up like ghosts, and landed lightly on the competition stage.

The four men varied in height and weight, but their figures revealed they were all male. The one walking in front was the team member who had been sitting in the back seat in the waiting area.

This person is extremely tall and can be called a "giant" among the Holy Spirit Sect members.

His burly figure was a full circle larger than Dai Huabin, the most muscular of Shrek Academy's members. His broad shoulders were like two small mountains, giving people a strong sense of oppression. He strode forward, and the remaining three team members behind him were almost completely obscured by his towering frame.

The four of them came to the center of the competition stage and stood face to face with the six people from Shrek Academy. Although they had two fewer people than Shrek Academy, the aura emanating from these four evil soul masters was not inferior at all.

A cold aura was released from their bodies like a substance, spreading outwards with them as the center. The temperature of the entire competition arena seemed to drop sharply, making people feel as if they were in an ice cellar.

"Both parties inform their names."

Zheng Zhan's face was solemn and he shouted in a deep voice.

He knew very well that the next game would probably be more thrilling than any previous one, especially the four players from the Holy Spirit Sect. Zheng Zhan felt a vague threat from them, which gave him a very bad feeling.

After all, evil soul masters can never be measured and judged by common sense. In the history of the soul master world, there was once an astonishing case where an evil soul master used strange and unpredictable means to single-handedly kill ten soul masters of the same level who were besieging him.

As for the four evil soul masters before him, no one knew their respective skills and methods.

Because in previous competitions, these four people had never appeared on the field and had been hiding in the dark like dormant poisonous snakes.

The evil soul masters who had appeared before were now in the rest area, and were merely substitutes for the four people in front of them.

"Shrek Academy, Tang San." Tang San's eyes were grim. As the captain of Shrek Academy's team competition, he was the first to announce his name.

"Shrek Academy, Dai Huabin." Dai Huabin gritted his teeth and forced himself to give his name despite his weak body.

"Shrek Academy, Zhu Lu." Zhu Lu raised her chin slightly and looked directly at the evil soul master opposite her without fear, the murderous aura on her body becoming stronger.

"Shrek Academy, Ning Tian." Ning Tian's voice was steady and calm as he pronounced his name word by word.

"Shrek Academy, Wu Feng."

"Shrek Academy, Cao Jinxuan."

The six people reported their names one by one in the simplest yet most powerful way. The cold murderous aura emanating from them was not concealed at all, like six sharp blades drawn from their sheaths, pointing directly at the evil soul master opposite them.

On the evil soul master side, the tall fellow standing in the front had a gloomy expression. His eyes swept over everyone in Shrek Academy one by one, and then he said in a deep voice: "Holy Spirit Sect, Lu Genggeng." His voice was unexpectedly loud, and it seemed very abrupt among the evil soul masters. Not only did this voice not have the eerie and strange feeling of an ordinary evil soul master, but it was full of masculine and heroic spirit, as if it was incompatible with his identity as an evil soul master.

"Holy Spirit Sect, Yan Feng." Yan Feng's voice was cold and hoarse. His figure looked relatively normal, but the aura he exuded was extremely cold, like a poisonous snake lurking in the darkness, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

"Holy Spirit Sect, Tang Dai." Tang Dai's voice was as light as a mosquito's whisper, almost imperceptible. His breath was concealed very well. Judging from his breath alone, he was just like an ordinary person without any fluctuation of soul power. He was tall, only half a head shorter than the majestic Lu Genggeng, but he was rather slender. He looked a little thin, but no one dared to underestimate him.

"Holy Spirit Sect, Gu Yu." Gu Yu said in a muffled voice with a hint of brute force in his voice.

He was a short and strong guy with shoulders almost as broad as Lu Genggeng, but his height only reached Lu Genggeng's waist, giving people a strange impression of being solid, heavy, and oppressive.

Four people, four completely different voices, each with its own characteristics.

When they stood there, the first impression they gave people was that they were all different, from their appearance to their temperament.

However, everyone knows that this seemingly chaotic combination must contain unknown dangers and powerful forces.

"Both sides retreated and prepared to play."

Zheng Zhan's face was solemn and he shouted in a low voice.

He glanced back and forth at the players on both teams, knowing that the upcoming match would be extremely fierce, and would probably be a fight to the death. However, because of his position and orders from above, he would not intervene.

The ten players from both sides turned around almost at the same time and quickly retreated towards the edge of their own competition stage.

At this time, the six people from Shrek Academy did not seem to be communicating, but they had already secretly used Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection sharing to start assigning tasks and arranging tactics.

On the other side, the four evil soul masters did not seem to have any verbal communication.

Their pace was not fast, but steady and orderly, as they slowly walked towards the other end of the competition stage.

The cold aura emanating from them continued to spread as they moved, making the atmosphere in the entire arena increasingly oppressive.

Seeing that both sides had retreated to the edge of the competition stage, Zheng Zhan slowly raised his right hand. His movements were steady and slow, which was a signal for everyone to get ready for the competition.

The audience's eyes were focused on his hands, and their heartbeats accelerated, as if they could feel the extremely tense atmosphere before the battle.

Seeing that both sides were already fully prepared and taking their positions, Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and shouted, "The match begins!"

This loud shout resounded throughout the stadium like a thunderclap, instantly breaking the pre-match tranquility and ushering in the prelude to the following brutal battle.
