Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 421 Withstanding the Explosion Head-on, Completely Overwhelmed

A level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell and seven level 7 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, buried near the load-bearing column on the first floor, were simultaneously detonated from a distance. The devastating energy shockwave engulfed everything in an instant, like a tsunami.

"You are seeking death!"

Leng Yaozhu was furious, her phoenix eyes burning with raging flames. Without any hesitation, she used her seventh soul skill, Heavenly Phoenix True Body, and four-word battle armor!

"Wow—!"

A clear and melodious phoenix cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

A burst of brilliant flames erupted, and an enormous, magnificent, and noble celestial phoenix, burning with raging celestial phoenix true fire, appeared out of thin air, perfectly enveloping Leng Yaozhu.

At the same time, a set of exquisite crimson battle armor with four characters, flowing with liquid flame-like light and engraved with phoenix patterns, instantly covered her entire body.

Faced with this terrifying explosion that could level half of the far north city, Leng Yaozhu chose the most domineering and direct approach: to withstand it head-on.

She pushed the power of her Heavenly Phoenix True Body to its limit, and the surging Heavenly Phoenix True Fire swept outward from her center, transforming into an indestructible wall of flames that forcibly restrained and compressed the destructive shockwave of the explosion into a relatively small area.

At the same time, her terrifying soul power, reaching level ninety-eight, poured out without reservation, precisely protecting every innocent life within the blast radius, including the terrified front desk staff and the panicked guests on other floors of the hotel.

Thanks to her incredible all-out burst of power and protection, the actual damage and casualties caused by this level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, along with seven level-seven fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, were reduced to a negligible level.

Apart from the area near the explosion's epicenter being completely destroyed, the main structure of the hotel and most of the people were preserved.

This incredible scene left both Titan Snow Demon King Atai, who had just rushed into the hotel, and Dong Zi'an, who was piloting a red mecha, completely stunned.

Atai's enormous snow demon face was filled with shock. He glanced at the red mech beside him and said in a deep voice:
"Is this the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo in her enraged state? Judging from her cultivation and explosive power, she's probably just one step away from reaching the Limit Douluo realm."

He paused, then couldn't help but criticize Dong Zi'an:
"Why do I feel like she's much stronger than you? And you're supposed to be a Limit Douluo..."

Dong Zian inside the mecha: "…………"

Brother, I'm just a commoner who climbed up step by step through military merit and risking my life. Reaching level 99 is already a stroke of good luck.

How could they possibly compare to Leng Yaozhu, a genius from the Leng family with a history spanning millennia and profound heritage?

Can this be the same?

Leng Yaozhu had no time to pay attention to their shock. She roared, and the light of her Heavenly Phoenix True Body intensified. She transformed into a streak of crimson light that tore through the sky, and her speed exploded to its maximum in an instant, almost like teleportation.

In just a second, she rushed to the ruins of apartment 404 on the fourth floor.

Her gaze swept across the ground, revealing corpses and ice shards, but she couldn't find Lu Jun. She felt a slight sense of relief; not seeing him meant he was probably alright.

Immediately afterwards, her immense mental power swept across every corner of the hotel like mercury, instantly and accurately locking onto Lu Jun's location. He was on a higher floor corridor, confronting the three remaining enemies.

The next second, Leng Yaozhu appeared next to Lu Jun with a terrifying speed that was almost like a spatial jump.

The speed was so fast that even Lu Jun didn't have time to react. He only felt a blur before his eyes, and then a familiar and reassuringly warm aura appeared beside him, and he was pulled to a warm back.

Lu Jun was completely stunned when he saw his teacher beside him, who was covered in armor, surrounded by phoenix flames, and looked like a female war goddess descending to earth.

Holy crap... Teacher, aren't you only level 98? How come your performance and speed are even more impressive than a typical level 99 Limit Douluo?
Leng Yaozhu quickly scanned Lu Jun from head to toe, and only after confirming that not even a single tear was on his clothes did she finally feel completely relieved.

She shielded Lu Jun tightly behind her, her posture resembling that of a mother phoenix protecting her young.

She raised her cold phoenix eyes and looked at the three wounded enemies in front of her, who were terrified by her sudden appearance.

The severely injured Soul Douluo and the two disheveled Title Douluos. Leng Yaozhu's pretty face turned colder than ever before, her voice filled with overwhelming rage and killing intent:
"You three scum, you're asking for death!"

Before the words were even finished, a terrifying pressure of soul power, like a mountain collapsing or a vast ocean being overturned, crashed down upon the three of them. "Pfft—"

The already severely injured Soul Douluo couldn't even utter a sound before his body exploded into a cloud of blood mist as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, becoming utterly dead.

The two titled Douluo were also struck as if by a heavy blow, both spitting out a mouthful of blood and collapsing to their knees uncontrollably, their faces filled with endless fear and despair.

Faced with Leng Yaozhu's rage, they couldn't even muster the thought of resistance.

Leng Yaozhu didn't even bother to use her soul skills; she simply stretched out her hands from a distance and made a grasping motion.

Two enormous fiery phoenix claws, formed entirely from the Heavenly Phoenix True Fire, appeared out of thin air and grabbed the two Title Douluos in their palms as easily as catching chicks.

"No...spare my life..."

The two men cried out in anguish for mercy.

But Leng Yaozhu's eyes were cold, showing no pity whatsoever, and she suddenly clenched her phoenix claws.

"Pfft!"

The Heavenly Phoenix True Fire swept across, instantly incinerating the two Title Douluos who were high and mighty in the eyes of ordinary people.

But Leng Yaozhu still retained some rationality, and managed to leave both of them barely clinging to life.

Prepare to interrogate them.

After resolving all the crises with a wave of her hand, Leng Yaozhu cautiously scanned her surroundings with her mental power. Only after confirming that there were no hidden dangers did she deactivate her Heavenly Phoenix True Form and Four-Word Battle Armor, returning to her original appearance.

She turned around, the icy killing intent on her face instantly transforming into immense concern and worry. She placed her hands on Lu Jun's shoulders, scrutinizing him carefully from head to toe, her voice trembling with lingering fear.

"Lu Jun, are you really not hurt? Is anything bothering you? Tell the teacher quickly!"

Seeing her teacher's nervous expression, Lu Jun felt a surge of warmth in her heart and quickly shook her head, giving her a reassuring smile.

"Teacher, I'm really fine, I'm not hurt at all. They only chased me for less than a minute before you came back and took care of them all in a flash. I didn't even break a sweat, how could I possibly be injured?"

He sighed inwardly once again:
The teacher is really amazing!

How long has it been?

The whole process probably only takes a minute, right?
"...I was still arrogant as before, thinking that they would not dare to attack you because they recognized me as the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda."

Leng Yaozhu sighed, then continued:
“I didn’t expect the other party to be so bold… No, I can’t think like that, and I can’t give the initiative to the other party, otherwise it will really be over. I will definitely correct this next time.”

Lu Jun remained silent, even though he also felt that Leng Yaozhu's decision was somewhat problematic.

However, no one can make the right choice in every situation, so this was the result of Lu Jun deliberately letting things go and not reminding Leng Yaozhu.

Anyway, he could cover his own losses, and by the way, while he was fighting those Green Skull organization members alone, he had already used his mental power to invade their memories.

Lu Jun's expression turned cold.

That's right, the Green Skull organization, and that goddess in their description, who is suspected to be Tang Wutong's appearance.

Is Tang Wutong still in Douluo Continent?
So, how outrageous must her cultivation level be after ten thousand years?
