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

After thanking them again in his spiritual sea, Lu Jun straightened his robes, pushed open the door of the cultivation room, and walked out.

As expected, Dong Zi'an was already waiting outside. As soon as he saw him come out, he immediately came forward to greet him, with a relieved expression on his face.
"That's great, my little ancestor, you've finally finished your cultivation. Although it's normal for Soul Masters to go into seclusion for several years, a dozen or even decades, your sudden six-month seclusion halfway through a mission has really worried some impatient members of the Federal Parliament, making them sigh and lament."

Lu Jun smiled slightly and asked:

"Six months... that's a bit faster than expected. Has the Speaker said anything?"

“The Speaker is quite composed, and has been suppressing the objections of the crowd,” Dong Zian said. “However, due to pressure from other councilors, about four months ago, he let Gu Yuena take over the command and lead the team to continue to the Duantang Sect’s branch.”

"You know what, that girl is really something. In the past six months, she has led her team to wipe out dozens of Tang Clan branches. The results are remarkable! Now the Tang Clan's branches in Douluo Continent have been almost completely wiped out."

"Oh? So smoothly?" Lu Jun raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with amusement. "Looks like I'm not involved anymore."

"There are still problems." Dong Zian's expression became slightly more serious. "They're in trouble now. Gu Yuena and the others are finding it very difficult to deal with a Soul Saint who has a three-word battle armor."

"Moreover, it seems that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have already realized this and have dispatched a large number of people, who are currently gathering in a large-scale mass in a city near Gu Yuena's team."

"How many people are there?" Lu Jun asked.

Dong Zian made a rough estimate:
"Currently, it has been confirmed that over a hundred experts at the Soul Saint level or above have already gathered, and the number is still increasing. Give them a little more time... and they could probably assemble an encirclement force of over a thousand people, an unprecedented scale!"

He paused, and his tone became serious:
"But don't worry, the Federation is ready and can send troops to support you at any time. They will never let your small team face so many enemies alone."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun remained silent for a moment.

He slowly raised his head, a chilling glint flashing in his icy blue eyes, and a confident and arrogant smile curved his lips.

“Not really.”

he said softly.

"Huh?" Dong Zian was taken aback, not understanding what he meant.

But then Lu Jun continued in a calm and even tone:
"It's only a little over a thousand people, why bother the federal army?"

He paused slightly, his voice soft yet carrying an absolute confidence that seemed to look down upon the world:

"I alone am enough."

Before Dong Zian could react, Lu Jun's figure blurred for a moment and then disappeared completely from the spot.

It seemed to blend into the swirling snow, leaving no trace.

The speed has been reduced from a tiny area to an inch, making it several times faster than it was six months ago!
"What the hell?!"

Dong Zian was dumbfounded. He stared at the empty space in front of him for a long time before finally uttering a curse.

"Wait... Dude, did you become a completely different person after this breakthrough? You're so fast!"

But then he thought back to when he faced Lu Jun earlier, he felt the unfathomable aura within the other party's body, which seemed to contain two terrifying energy sources. This must be because he had completed the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores and the spiritual power of the Spirit Domain Realm. He felt that it was also possible to understand.

"Forget it... this guy can't be judged by common sense at all. He achieved the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core that even a Title Douluo couldn't reach with his Soul Emperor cultivation... tsk, what a freak,"

Dong Zian shook his head, smiled helplessly, and his figure slowly disappeared into the wind and snow.

……

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, on a vast plain, the night was deep, dark clouds obscured the moon, and the world was shrouded in darkness.

The three standard mechs flew at high speed close to the ground, pushing their speed to the limit, and fled desperately towards Mingdu.

The mech's surface was covered with battle scars, clearly indicating that it had been through a series of fierce battles.

Inside these three mechs was the team led by Gu Yuena.

But their objective at this moment was no longer to take down the Tang Clan branch, but rather—to escape.

“It’s been four days.” Inside the cockpit, Wu Siduo frowned as she looked at the few red dots still flashing on the radar screen. “We’ve been working almost non-stop, running at top speed in our mechs, shaking off wave after wave of pursuers, but why… do I still feel like the most deadly danger hasn’t been eliminated yet?”

The incident began four days ago when they successfully wiped out a Tang Clan branch in a remote town and then withdrew overnight.

However, they still greatly underestimated the Tang Clan's vengeful nature.

Soon, they were attacked by an elite sniper team jointly dispatched by the Tang Clan and Shrek Academy.

This even included a peak Soul Saint equipped with a three-word battle armor.

Even someone as strong as Gu Yuena was overwhelmed and unable to cope when facing a Soul Saint with a three-word battle armor.

To make matters worse, they were currently in an area on the edge of the Douluo Continent, where the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had been operating for many years, their influence was deeply entrenched, and their informants were everywhere.

In addition, the Tang Sect's own soul guidance technology is also extremely advanced, as if an invisible net has been laid out within a radius of thousands of miles.

Thanks to the mechs' incredible speed and Gu Yuena's precise command, they narrowly avoided encirclement and deadly attacks time and time again, but they were always stuck in a quagmire, unable to completely shake off the relentless pursuit.

It was as if an invisible eye was always watching them from the shadows.

They managed to escape the pursuit temporarily by taking advantage of the complex terrain and a rainstorm, gaining a brief two-day respite.

"I heard that the Tang Clan has offered an astronomical bounty. If they could take our heads, it would make an entire family rich overnight. The price is so high that even I'm tempted to take my own head and claim the reward."

Xie Xie tried to ease the tense atmosphere with jokes, but his voice carried an undeniable weariness.

Gu Yuena snorted coldly, her tone still aloof:

"If you want to go, you can get off the mech now, we won't stop you."

Xie Xie immediately wilted and said awkwardly:

"Never mind... I just feel like we've become the most sought-after commodity in the entire continent right now."

"Now it's not just the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy that are chasing us like madmen. I heard that even the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and even the Clear Sky School have sent people. They really think highly of us."

"Indeed." Tang Wulin smiled wryly, his face filled with worry. "If it weren't for the reputation of the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda, and the rules they set, which could still deter those truly top-tier experts, we would probably be facing more than just Soul Saint-level pursuers now..."

However, his words had not yet finished.

A cold, mocking, and murderous laugh, like an owl's cry, suddenly rang out over the deathly silent plain, clearly reaching the communicators of every mech.

"Heh...you're not just highly sought-after commodities, you're a bunch of...lambs to the slaughter!" (End of Chapter)
