Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 323 Black Cat Scratches White Cat

Lin Po sat upright on the high platform, and could naturally perceive the slightly complicated and awkward atmosphere between the three people below.

Without a doubt, the only person in the vast palace who has both the courage and the ability to do this is probably the Empress.

"Sister Lexuan, did you find this kitten?"

"Hmm! Since you're bored and looking for some fun, I'll naturally try to make you happier!"

"What? Is it not to your liking?"

Hearing the hint of disappointment in Zhang Lexuan's voice, Lin Po hurriedly shook his head in response.

"No, not at all! It's more like it's exactly what I wanted!"

joke!

His elder sister, a queen of a nation, was willing to indulge in his antics on such an important day. How could he not be happy?

"I'm glad you're satisfied. I thought you didn't like this kind of plot."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief and put on her doting smile again.

"On another note, this generation's Duke of the Underworld is quite pragmatic."

"When they launched a major offensive against the Xingluo border, they did not fight to the death alongside the White Tiger lineage, but instead chose to surrender."

"Even when they reached Xingluo City, the people of the Netherworld Duke's Mansion did not put up any resistance and sealed their soul power to await the army's incorporation."

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Po instantly understood.

No wonder Sister Lexuan was able to find Zhu Lu, a potential fatal blow, in the vast continent in just one day!
So they all surrendered a long time ago!

Just as they were chatting quietly on the high platform, three young men and women, each with their own unique features and temperament, stood at opposite ends of the arena, silently gazing at each other.

However, compared to the tension between the two boys as they locked eyes, the girl caught in the middle was having a much harder time.

The still-tall figure not far away was her ex-fiancé, with whom she had once unleashed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Netherworld White Tiger.

In contrast, the person beside her was a strange, genius young man whom Her Majesty the Empress had specifically named and ordered her father to wholeheartedly assist.

Unfortunately, the two of them harbored an irreconcilable hatred, and this difficult situation truly left Zhu Lu somewhat confused.

Unfortunately, even though Her Majesty the Empress did not specify the consequences, how could someone as astute as her not know?

If she insists on choosing Dai Huabin, it would be tantamount to giving up her own life and the lives of everyone in her family.

This is something Zhu Lu absolutely cannot accept.

Having received an aristocratic education since childhood, she would never allow the Netherworld lineage to perish because of her!
'Indeed, compared to the insignificant feelings I had before, my parents and clansmen are still more important!' Zhu Lu thought to herself.

However, just as she was cheering herself on and preparing herself mentally, Huo Yuhao, who had been exuding extreme coldness, withdrew his aura.

He then slowly walked to Zhu Lu's side and, in full view of everyone, raised his hand and put it around the girl's slender waist.

(Lin Po: "Wow! That was awesome!")
(Wang Dong'er and Ju Zi: "Yu Hao has become quite capable. Did you teach him?!")
"The Emperor once said: The enemy before us may no longer be worthy of being an enemy after a period of time."

"However, Yuhao was dull-witted and never understood the meaning of these words, thus failing to live up to the Emperor's expectations."

"It wasn't until I saw your current wretched state that Yuhao finally understood something."

"Like now, my cultivation has reached the Soul Emperor realm, while you are still wasting your time at the high-level Soul Sect, and even your ex-fiancée is in my arms. How can someone as incompetent and weak as you be worthy of being my enemy?!"

The blue-haired boy's murmur was soft, but it was enough for most of the people present to hear his whisper, which then silenced the entire room.

Isn't this kid's behavior a bit too crazy? Talk is talk, but why did you go up and put your arm around that young girl's waist?
Are you trying to infuriate Dai Huabin and win without a fight?

How exactly does His Majesty the Emperor cultivate his juniors? There seems to be something I can't quite put my finger on about it.

And it wasn't just those in the audience who had this thought; Kong Deming and others on the platform shared the same opinion, and even Zhang Lexuan's gaze towards Lin Po carried a hint of doubt.

Seeing this, Lin Po couldn't help but feel exasperated and hurriedly tried to explain himself.

"What are you looking at me for?! Look at the Soul Arena! And another thing! I never taught Yuhao to hug girls without warning!"

After hearing this, the crowd turned their skeptical gazes toward the arena and continued to watch with great interest.

On the stage, the sudden change also caused Zhu Lu to lose her composure, and she subconsciously tried to pull herself away from Huo Yuhao's chest by straining her waist.

But how could she, a Soul Master specializing in agility and attack, possibly escape the constraints of a Soul Emperor who excelled in attack, control, and support?

Moreover, with so many eyes watching her every move on stage, she couldn't refuse any of the boy's requests, even for the sake of her family.

Feeling the irresistible force on her slender waist, Zhu Lu had no choice but to relax her body, pressing her alluring curves against Huo Yuhao, appearing completely submissive. Huo Yuhao: "."

Sister, what are you doing?

Can't you tell it's just an act?!

Dong'er and Ju Zi are watching from upstairs, so don't try to get close to me!

This is terrible! The original life sentence has been commuted to a suspended death sentence!

No! There's hope!
Zhu Lu's actions lacked any genuine emotion; she probably wouldn't take them seriously.
What appears to be an incredibly stiff intimacy to outsiders is interpreted by a certain white, sick cat as flirtatious lovemaking between adulterers.

As a result, Dai Huabin's mind, which was already on the verge of dementia, completely lost control in an instant and fell into extreme anger.

Ignoring Han Ruoruo's warning, he instantly activated his White Tiger Martial Soul, with his first and third soul rings flashing behind him, and charged straight at Huo Yuhao and his companion.

"Aaaaah! White Tiger Protective Barrier! White Tiger Vajra Transformation! You all, die!"

Fortunately, Dai Huabin's weak cultivation level was what it was; no matter how fast he went, he would still take a few seconds to cover a hundred meters.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao had some time to plan his tactics.

“Miss Zhu Lu, you will be the one to fight this deadly battle, and I will be responsible for assisting you from the side.”

As if afraid that Zhu Lu might be too afraid of death to act freely, Huo Yuhao quickly added another sentence.

"Don't worry, with me here, you won't get hurt in the slightest!"

The warm breath near her ear made Zhu Lu blush. As she nodded slightly, her resistance to the unfamiliar young man suddenly lessened considerably.

If I could stay by his side forever, that wouldn't be bad.

However, Zhu Lu was well aware of the importance and urgency of each matter.

She forcefully suppressed the thoughts surging in her mind, and with a sway of her body, she broke free from Huo Yuhao's embrace in the blink of an eye, leaving behind afterimages in the place.

"Netherworld Thrust!" Zhu Lu murmured coldly as she completed her Martial Soul Possession in the shadows.

The first soul skill was activated, with dark claws extending from the fingertips, aiming straight for Dai Huabin's ribs.

"Too slow! White Tiger Fiery Wave!"

As Dai Huabin's body grew larger, he couldn't help but sneer. His second soul ring suddenly flashed, and a pale yellow beam of light shot out from his mouth, forcing Zhu Lu to abandon her attack and nimbly retreat.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao, standing on the sidelines, had a faint blue light flash in his eyes, and his mental detection sharing quietly activated, providing timely assistance to the girl.

In that instant, Zhu Lu, who was experiencing a million-year-old soul skill for the first time, felt that all the changes in the world were within her eyes.

Every subtle movement of the other party, the direction of their attack, and even their emotional fluctuations could be clearly imprinted in her mind.

Then came another fierce exchange of blows and dodges. Dai Huabin, who was still in a rage, suddenly regained a sliver of clarity and looked at Zhu Lu with a very gloomy gaze.

After all, given his cultivation level and overall qualities, the fusion material of the mere Netherworld White Tiger could not possibly have fought him for so long.

Moreover, after so many years of getting along, no one knows Zhu Lu's fighting habits and dodging angles better than him!
With her determined intent to kill, she had absolutely no chance of winning.

However, from the start of the battle until now, apart from the first attack which was somewhat effective, the rest of the attacks have been a complete waste of energy.

Not only could the person in front of him predict all his attack paths, but the occasional release of his first or second soul skill could also hit vital points.

Although the attack power is not high, it is impossible to break through his defense in a few moves.

But the advantage lies in the number of times it happens, and over time, even with the amplification of the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, he can't withstand it!

At this moment, Dai Huabin was suddenly startled and involuntarily looked towards the edge of the ring.

Huo Yuhao stood there calmly, without moving an inch from beginning to end.

Moreover, he was playing with a soul tool he had never seen before, clearly not taking his battle with Zhu Lu seriously.

What a contemptuous attitude!
Dai Huabin's fragile heart trembled violently; the extreme humiliation made him temporarily forget his inner fear.

"What kind of skill is it to rely on external forces!"

Seeing Dai Huabin lose his mind again and rush towards her, Zhu Lu calmly activated her second and fourth soul skills, "Netherworld Hundred Claws" and "Netherworld Transformation".

With the assistance of Huo Yuhao's shared mental detection, a hundred or so claw shadows rained down, aiming straight for his vital defenses.

This time, the White Tiger Martial Soul's third soul skill, which it had been proud of for ten thousand years, finally lost its former prestige and was completely shattered by the Spirit Cat Martial Soul's second soul skill.

"Ah! My back! You bitch! Why didn't your whole family die with the White Tiger Duke's mansion?!"
