Douluo: Purple Brilliance Shines, Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Are Forever

Chapter 129 Wild Dai Yueheng, Taken Back to Claim Credit with Master (4K)

As arranged by Xu Tianze, the Shence Battalion broke into smaller units and quietly infiltrated the Mingdou Mountains from various directions.

Xu Tianze and his group's destination was the original stronghold of the Hand of Death.

Before heading to Star Luo City to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, the Shrek Academy team made a special detour to the Mingdou Mountains, where they destroyed the Hand of Death and killed the evil soul master, the Death Messenger.

It was precisely because of this that the Grim Reaper launched a counterattack in his dying moments, severely injuring the Shrek Academy's regular team members.

In the end, of the seven members of the main team, one died and three were seriously injured, leaving only Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochen who were able to barely continue to compete in the tournament.

The group walked through the Wenlan forest and stopped outside a cave. The entrance was dark and narrow, emanating a pungent and unpleasant stench of mold and decay.

"Eek—"

It smells awful.

Di Qiu'er frowned slightly and raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose.

"Qiu'er, take two people with you and go in to scout ahead. Here, take this with you."

As he spoke, Xu Tianze took out four gas masks from his storage soul tool and handed three of them to Di Qiu'er.

This place used to be a stronghold of evil spirit masters, so there may be corpse poison and miasma here.

Moreover, so much time has passed, and we don't know what the situation is like inside. If we want to go in and investigate, we must be fully prepared and take precautions.

"it is good."

Di Qiu'er turned around and gave the order to select two personal guards.

Soon, the four of them put on gas masks and equipped themselves with trigger-activated soul-guided shields. Two bodyguards, armed with soul-guided firearms, led the way, with one clearing the path and the other bringing up the rear. Di Qiu'er, holding the Golden Dragon Spear, followed closely behind Xu Tianze, walking in the middle.

Upon entering the cave, flames rose from Xu Tianze's palms, illuminating the pitch-black passageway.

By the firelight, the four could see that the cave ceiling and walls were covered with traces of explosion and corrosion, as well as scattered, blackened bones, making the entire cave eerie and terrifying.

"A-Ce, is this the place where a group of Soul Kings and Soul Emperors from Shrek Academy were caught off guard and suffered a crushing defeat?"

Xu Tianze gave a soft "hmm," "This should be it. They did do a good thing, eliminating a malignant tumor for the local residents and merchants. It's a pity they played such a good hand so badly."

If they hadn't been so arrogant, and had had a Super Douluo personally overseeing things, or even just a few soul-guided shields, they wouldn't have been so badly harmed by a Soul King-level evil soul master.

The four proceeded cautiously, and without any accidents, they reached the end of the cave smoothly.

"Are we really going to be stationed here from now on?"

Xu Tianze nodded. "Don't be fooled by how dirty, messy, and poor it is now. After cleaning it up, it shouldn't be much worse than the conditions in the military camp. Most importantly, this place is hidden and safe, with a network of passageways, making it a perfect secret base for our army."

"So what do we do next? Clean up?"

"Let me use the ultimate fire to clean this place up first, and burn all that filth to ashes."

At the same time, the intense heat would cause the rock layers to flake off, thus creating more space inside the cave.

After a moment of contemplation, Di Qiu'er raised her small face and said, "Let me do it, and you can use your Sun Martial Soul to assist me, okay? I can also take this opportunity to test the power of the Golden Flame Phoenix Feather Armor."

"Of course it's no problem."

They left the cave, and Xu Tianze ordered the soldiers who had come with them to retreat to the Wenlan Forest to avoid being affected by the intense heat of the extreme fire.

After everything was ready, Di Qiu'er changed into the Golden Flame Phoenix Feather Armor and held the Golden Dragon Spear.

As the Sun Martial Soul rose slowly behind the two, the Fire Feather Phoenix flew out of the Phoenix Feather of the Heavenly Realm on its own, soaring joyfully around the Sun Martial Soul.

As the phoenix danced in the heavens, fiery feathers fluttered down, and golden fire lotuses bloomed all around Di Qiu'er, even igniting blazing golden flames on the golden dragon spear.

With the ultimate power of the Golden Dragon combined with the ultimate fire, Di Qiu'er was now terrifyingly strong.

She skillfully wielded the Golden Dragon Spear Pro, the gilded spearhead spinning rapidly to create a golden dragon phantom, with golden flames flowing across its lifelike scales.

As she twisted her waist and thrust out the dragon spear, a dragon's roar split the rocks and pierced the clouds, and the entire golden flame dragon rushed into the cave like a torrent of lava.

Wherever the extreme fire passed, the rotting corpses piled up in the cave instantly vaporized, and the stark white bones turned into specks of golden light, which drifted away with the wind.

Under the scorching heat of thousands of degrees, the rock walls peeled off layer by layer like wax, and the cave ceiling was constantly lifted by the impact of the flames. Before the rubble even hit the ground, it melted into a red liquid in the air.

When the dragon's shadow dissipated, the once cramped cave was now a completely different world.

The exposed rock strata still gleamed with a dark red glow, like a scorched wound on the earth.

Meanwhile, in Wenlan Forest.

Ye Guyi was carefully wiping her soul tool when a subordinate suddenly came to report.

"Reporting to Captain Ye, we have discovered a small squad of seven soldiers from the Star Luo Empire on a mountain road three miles outside of Wenlan Forest."

"We have just infiltrated the Mingdou Mountains and are not yet firmly established. It is not wise to alert them. As long as they have not discovered our army, we should ignore them. There will be plenty of opportunities to fight them later."

"But those people look like the White Tiger Guards."

Upon hearing the words "White Tiger Guards," Ye Guyi abruptly stopped wiping herself.

During her time in the military camp, she learned a great deal about military common sense through various channels. She had naturally heard of the White Tiger Guard's reputation.

The White Tiger Guards are the private army and retainers of Duke Dai Hao of the Star Luo Empire, and they are absolutely the elite of the elite.

Why would these people appear in the Mingdou Mountains if they weren't guarding Duke Baihu?

"Are you sure you didn't admit your mistake?"

"They are wearing white armor specially made for the White Tiger Guards; I will not mistake them."

After pondering for a moment, Ye Guyi decided to ask Xu Tianze for his opinion. "I will go and inform His Highness. You wait here."

At this moment, the high temperature was still lingering where Xu Tianze was, so she dared not approach rashly.

So she took out the communication soul tool that Xu Tianze had given her, which was somewhat similar to a walkie-talkie in her previous life, to keep in touch at all times.

"Your Highness Your Highness..."

"...What's wrong?" Xu Tianze's voice came through the communication device.

"Your Highness, there's been an update. Our men have spotted traces of the White Tiger Guards not far from the Wenlan Forest. I've come to report."

"How many of them are there?"

"It's a seven-person team."

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end, and then Xu Tianze's voice came again shortly after.

"Ye Guyi, can you hear me?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Take six guards and go check the situation. It would be best to leave one alive and bring him back for a thorough interrogation."

"Yes, Your Highness."
-
On the rugged and difficult mountain path, a group of seven people, fully armed, kept walking.

It is worth noting that the leader only had one arm left, with the right sleeve empty. If Xu Tianze were here in person, he would surely recognize him at a glance as Dai Yueheng, the eldest son of the Duke of Baihu.

His right arm was lightly scorched by Xu Tianze's extreme fire during the competition, and then turned to ashes.

As he walked, Dai Yueheng paused slightly, as the wound on his right arm inexplicably began to burn and ache.

"Young Master, are you okay?"

Dai Yueheng covered the wound on his right shoulder with his left hand and shook his head. "It's nothing."

“There is a large forest of Wenlan trees nearby. Wenlan trees prefer shady and cold places. It is probably because this place is cold and damp, coupled with the long journey, that the injuries occurred. Young Master, let’s rest here for a while.”

Seeing the worried looks on his subordinates' faces, Dai Yueheng forced a bitter smile. "I'm fine. The mission comes first."

After the tournament, Dai Yueheng lost his right arm forever. Even Wang Xian'er, the Healer Douluo, who was known as the most powerful healing-type Soul Master in the world, could not completely heal the wound caused by the destructive attribute combined with the extreme fire.

After his injuries stabilized, Dai Yueheng followed his original plan and joined the Western Army Group, serving under Duke Baihu.

After walking about 100 meters, Dai Yueheng stopped again.

"stop!"

"Young Master, are you still feeling unwell?"

"Don't you guys feel that the atmosphere here is a bit strange?"

The six White Tiger Guards exchanged glances and immediately activated their Martial Souls. Among them were two Soul Masters and four Soul Venerables, forming a hexagonal formation to protect Dai Yueheng in the center.

"As expected of the Star Luo Empire's elite troops, their noses are sharper than a dog's. Execute Plan B, launch a full-scale attack!"

At Ye Guyi's command, six bodyguards immediately sprang out from their ambush position.

The three formed a small team and launched a pincer attack on Dai Yueheng and his group.

"Enemy attack!" Dai Yueheng's eyes widened in anger, his White Tiger Martial Soul manifested, and six spirit rings slowly emerged from beneath his feet.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle.

Holding the Holy Sword, Ye Guyi fearlessly approached Dai Yueheng, a six-ring Soul Emperor.

She was not weak to begin with. Facing an ordinary Soul Emperor, she dared not say she could win, but she could at least hold her own for a short time. Moreover, the Soul Emperor in front of her was disabled, which greatly reduced his strength.

Losing his right arm had a significant impact on Dai Yueheng. He was not yet fully able to fight with only his left hand and could only temporarily suppress Ye Guyi by relying on his Soul Emperor-level Soul Power advantage.

"White Tiger Protective Barrier! White Tiger Vajra Transformation! White Tiger Demon God Transformation!"

Dai Yueheng maximized his power, wanting to defeat Ye Guyi as quickly as possible and lead the White Tiger Guards out.

Unexpectedly, Ye Guyi flapped her wings and flew into the air, causing Dai Yueheng's attacks to all miss.

"Flying is the ultimate expression of freedom. Second Soul Skill, Holy Spirit Slash!"

The yellow, century-old soul ring suddenly shone brightly, making Ye Guyi, with his full head of yellow hair, appear even more noble and sacred.

Holding the holy sword, she slashed down fiercely, unleashing seven consecutive Holy Spirit Slashes, seven powerful sword energies tearing through the air.

Ye Guyi and Dai Yueheng were locked in a fierce battle, but unbeknownst to them, the outcome of the fight among the others not far away had already been quietly decided.

"do not want!"

Dai Yueheng's cry of alarm could not change the inevitable fate of his comrades.

As the last White Tiger Guard was stabbed through the heart from both the front and back, his blood stained his once-proud White Tiger armor, and he finally collapsed helplessly in a pool of blood.

Even among elites, there are vast differences. Xu Tianze's personal guard consists of Soul Kings and above, all of whom are powerful Soul Guidance System experts. Dealing with them is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

After dealing with the six White Tiger Guards, the seven of them surrounded Dai Yueheng.

"Surrender, there is absolutely no way you can escape."

"You are from the Sun Moon Empire's military! What exactly is your intention in attacking and killing my Star Luo Empire's White Tiger Guards?"

"Enough with the nonsense! Kill!"

Dai Yueheng, as expected of a top student from Shrek Academy, possessed both the strength of a Soul Emperor and the iron will of a soldier. He fought against seven opponents single-handedly, and although he was at a disadvantage, Ye Guyi was unable to capture him alive for the time being.

"Damn it! Do you think you're so great just because you're a Soul Emperor? I'll capture you, you sick cat, with my Soul Emperor cultivation."

"Form a cloud bat formation!"

Upon hearing this, the six guards immediately retreated, and the Purple Winged Cloud Bat Armor was fully armed in an extremely short time.

"What the hell is this?"

Upon seeing these six purplish-black iron lumps, Dai Yueheng was completely dumbfounded; this was far beyond his comprehension.

After a period of diligent practice, the guards have been able to initially control the humanoid soul guides without causing collisions between the two devices.

Purple bat wings unfurled from their backs, and the six of them flew through the air like bats, a dazzling display of skill.

At the same time, the exquisite Silver Frost Angel Armor also enveloped Ye Guyi's delicate body, and her white wings fluttered gently as she joined the array of Purple Winged Cloud Bats.

The six people formed a formation around Ye Guyi, and their soul power was continuously transferred to Ye Guyi through the Purple Winged Cloud Bat Armor.

During the Soul Battle Tournament, Star Luo Royal Academy once brought out a "Nine-Transformation Soul Ritual". Its biggest feature is that it can change the attribute of soul power. No matter what attribute of the soul power is input, the output is the most peaceful, attribute-free soul power that can be absorbed by any soul master.

Through it, Soul Masters can inject Soul Power into each other for a short period of time to temporarily enhance their strength, but they must also release this Soul Power within a short time.

Soul power without attributes can only be used temporarily and cannot be completely integrated with one's own soul power.

At this moment, Ye Guyi's Silver Frost Angel Armor is equivalent to a Nine-Transformation Soul Instrument. Ye Guyi can not only continuously obtain soul power to quickly replenish her own consumption, but also gather the power of seven people to unleash a combat power far exceeding her current level, allowing her to fight.

After obtaining the soul power of six personal guards, Ye Guyi's soul power level was now far superior to that of the White Tiger Soul Emperor Dai Yueheng.

She held the sword with both hands, raising it high above her head. Behind her, the phantom of a holy angel appeared, also raising the holy sword, maintaining the same posture as Ye Guyi.

At this moment, she looked noble, holy, and inviolable.

"Holy Sword!"

"Sixth Soul Skill, White Tiger! Destroy, Annihilate, Kill!"

The blade of light torn by the white tiger claws clashed with the holy sword, but after only three seconds of resistance, it crumbled instantly under Ye Guyi's merciless infusion of soul power.

Ye Guyi's fifth soul skill was now completely comparable to the full-force attack of a Soul Saint using their Martial Soul True Form.

The sword flashed and disappeared in an instant, and Dai Yueheng's mangled body was thrown high into the air, crashing heavily ten meters away.

He tried to stand up again, but his whole body was trembling violently as if it were a leaf.

Ye Guyi gently flapped her wings, looking down at the disheveled Dai Yueheng. She took out a long whip from her storage soul tool, casually swung it, and the whip tightly wrapped around one of his legs.

"Clean up the scene and the body properly, don't leave the Star Luo Empire with even the slightest clue, lest it cause trouble for His Highness."

"Yes."×6
"As for you..." Ye Guyi looked at Dai Yueheng and revealed a charming smile, "Come with me and go see the master."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Guyi spread her wings and flew away, while Dai Yueheng was upside down in the air with his feet in the sky and his head on the ground, being dragged by her to Xu Tianze to claim credit.
