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

Seeing that the seal was successful, and sensing the aura within the cocoon of light that had been forcibly suppressed and showed no signs of resistance, the two almost completely transparent phantoms of Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin in the air slowly exchanged a glance.

A century of tacit understanding, all contained in this one glance.

Their faces showed no ecstatic joy of victory, only a weariness of having exhausted everything, and a relieved calm of having accomplished their mission.

A faint, bittersweet smile managed to tug at the corners of his mouth.

For the future of the Tang Sect, and to welcome the glory of Tang San's ancestor, they paid an irreparable price, overdrawing their life essence and martial soul potential. Their cultivation in this life will probably never improve again, and they may even die on the spot due to their lifespan...

However, if we can seal Lu Jun in this way, buy time for Yun Ming, and remove the biggest obstacle for the Tang Sect, then it will all be worth it!

However, it was at this moment, a mixture of tragedy and relief, that...

Their senses, heightened by excessive exertion, simultaneously detected a change that caused their hearts to stop.

In the distance, the overwhelming aura belonging to the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming, which had been as clear as a lighthouse in the night, was approaching at a terrifying speed...

Just as it reached a certain peak, it was abruptly cut off as if by an invisible giant hand, coming to an abrupt end.

It wasn't that it gradually drifted away, nor that it became blurred due to some interference, but rather that it completely... disappeared!

It's as if they never existed!
This sudden and completely illogical change was like a bucket of ice water poured over their heads, instantly freezing and shattering the little bit of relief and hope that had just risen in Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin's hearts, which had been bought at a huge cost!
The two stood frozen in place, their illusory figures trembling violently with extreme shock and bewilderment.

"Fa...what happened?"

"Yun Ming's aura...where did it go?!"

An extremely ominous premonition, like a cold, venomous snake, suddenly coiled around their hearts, almost suffocating them.

And just as they lost their composure and were completely captivated by this bizarre turn of events...

A calm, slightly mocking chuckle suddenly rang out beside them—no, right next to the enormous silver cocoon of light.

"Tsk tsk, his emotions are truly moving, he lives up to his reputation."

"This sealing power is indeed profound."

Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin were struck as if by lightning, and they turned around abruptly.

Beside the cocoon of light, which shimmered with layers of silver radiance, another figure appeared out of nowhere.

Clad in white, with black hair flowing freely, her appearance and aura were exactly the same as "Lord Lu" who was sealed in the cocoon of light.

This Mr. Lu was reaching out his finger with great interest to gently touch the surface of the silver cocoon, as if admiring a fine work of art.

"You...you...!!"

Zang Xin pointed at the newly appeared Lu Jun, then at the sealed cocoon of light. His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence. Utter absurdity and anger overwhelmed his reason.

Furthermore, due to his own emotional state, he uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood.

I almost died of anger.

Cao Dezhi's eyes were also bloodshot, his already ethereal figure trembled violently, and his voice was hoarse as if sandpaper was being rubbed together:

"Impossible! Who...who are you?! And who is sealed inside?!"

The scene before them completely overturned their understanding.

They risked everything, even their future ultimate seal, but could it be... could it be that they only sealed a... clone?
Or is he just a stand-in?
This is the most absurd and cruel joke in the world!
It's like throwing your ultimate move at an insignificant minion; it's completely useless.

Faced with Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin's questions, which were filled with shock, anger, resentment and despair, the newly appeared Lu Jun slowly withdrew his fingers that had touched the cocoon of light, and turned his gaze to the two illusory figures in the air that were about to disappear.

His face still bore that chilling, all-knowing smile. He offered no explanation regarding the techniques of clones or substitutes, simply stating casually:
"Thank you both for your dedication. This Martial Soul Fusion Technique is truly moving and wondrous. I will accept it without hesitation."

His tone was so calm, as if he were merely commenting on the taste of a dish, rather than having just witnessed and benefited from the ultimate technique unleashed by two Limit Douluos at the cost of their lives.

These words, like a final death knell, tolled in the hearts of Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin. They instantly understood everything.

They were outmaneuvered from beginning to end.

The enemy's goal was not to fight to the death, nor to escape, but rather...

Or was it to force them to reveal their last trump card?

What is the purpose?
Could it be that they've taken it for themselves?

What a bizarre and terrifying ability this is!

An overwhelming chill and despair instantly swallowed their last vestiges of consciousness.

Without uttering another word, Lu Jun's eyes turned cold, and he casually swung the Ice Abyss Sword forward.

Two icy blue lines, condensed to their extreme and seemingly capable of freezing time and space, silently streaked across the void.

A streak swept towards Cao Dezhi's illusory figure.

A gust of wind swept towards Zang Xin's swaying, lingering soul.

"Do not--!"

Two barely audible screechs, filled with endless resentment and indignation, abruptly ceased in the air.

Where the ice line passed, the two Ultimate Douluo phantoms, carrying the glory and beliefs of the Tang Sect for a century, instantly disintegrated and vanished like wisps of smoke blown away by the wind, turning into the finest specks of light and completely disappearing into the world.

Cao Dezhi, the ruthless Douluo and master of the Douluo Hall of the Tang Sect, has fallen!
Zang Xin, the amorous Douluo and deputy hall master of the Tang Sect's Douluo Hall, has fallen!
Clean, efficient, decisive, and without the slightest hesitation.

With just two sword strikes, the only two Hall Masters of the Tang Clan in this era died.

From then on, the Tang Sect no longer had top-tier combat power like the Limit Douluo.

It's more accurate to say that this was their predetermined fate, since they were all weapon spirits.

In today's world, those with weapon spirits can no longer pose a threat to Lu Jun.

Even Yun Ming was no exception.

However, even with such a trump card to restrain the opponent, Lu Jun still dared not make any rash moves, since the other party still held the means of god-level combat power.

Lu Jun wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, he didn't need to deal with Yun Ming; plenty of people would help him with that.

At that time, he only needs to sit back and reap the benefits.

The silver light barrier still stood tall, radiating a wave of energy that sealed everything, completely isolating the clone within from the outside world.

Outside the light barrier, Lu Jun stood quietly, sensing all the information of the perfectly imprinted Emotional Heaven-Shaking Martial Soul Fusion Technique within the spiritual domain replication.

A perfect, 100% replicated god-level skill is now in hand.

Lu Jun clenched his fist lightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"I hope that this trump card of yours will make a great contribution in the upcoming operation to wipe out Shrek Academy."

Having acquired the heaven-defying skill of "Emotional Power," which is powerful enough to forcibly seal a god-level expert, he was now extremely confident in his plan to seize the vast life energy of the Golden Ancient Tree.

This is equivalent to having an ace up your sleeve that can force Shrek's top fighters to retreat, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the success rate of the operation.

A flash of light appeared, and the figures of Yuanen Zhentian, Yuanen Tiandang, Bingdi, and Xuedi appeared behind Lu Jun.

Yuan Enzhen looked at the towering silver cocoon of light, then at Lu Jun, whose aura was steady and who was unharmed. His face was filled with admiration and excitement. He bowed and said:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The plan has been a complete success. Such methods are beyond the comprehension of even the gods and demons!" (End of Chapter)
