Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 340 A Century-Old Story
Outside Tiandou City, all was quiet. Everyone was stunned by Mu En's attack and remained silent for a long time.

The appearance of Long Xiaoyao had already made everyone feel the pressure brought by the Limit Douluo, and Mu En's attack that knocked Long Xiaoyao down was even more shocking to everyone.

Moreover, no one expected that the strongest person in Shrek Academy was not Xuanzi, but the Dragon God Douluo Mu En, whose fame had already resounded throughout the continent a hundred years ago.

What was even more unexpected was that what was originally just a wager between the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy would actually involve three Limit Douluos.

Although I didn't immediately recognize who the figure that had just appeared was, the aura emanating from him was undeniable.

Whether it was the Heavenly Soul Empire watching the battle or other Soul Masters, they realized that the strength of the Sun Moon Empire was not only in Soul Tools. If Shrek Academy won, that would be fine, but if they lost, who could stop the Sun Moon Empire's attack?

The three people high in the sky had no idea what the others watching were thinking. Mu En simply looked at the figure that appeared in front of him and felt a slight tremor in his heart.

Years ago, it was this figure before him that captivated his attention. He gave his love to this person without reservation, but due to an accident, they never saw each other again.

Even after all these years, and now that he is very old, he still cannot forget the person in front of him, even though she is not showing her true face at this moment.

"You've finally agreed to show yourself to me." Moon sighed softly. "It was my fault back then, that you embarked on the path of an evil soul master. I was too soft-hearted and let you go."

"Under your protection, evil spirit masters have committed countless atrocities. Since all of this started because of me, it's time to put an end to it. I apologize."

“No, I’m the one who should apologize.” Just as Mu En raised his right arm, Ye Xishui suddenly spoke, causing him to abruptly stop.

"what do you mean?"

Ye Xishui raised her hand and took off the cloak on her head. Although she was about the same age as Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, she did not look too old. Although she was no longer young, it was still clear that she was a peerless beauty a hundred years ago.

“You’re not the only one who hasn’t been able to let go all these years.” Ye Xishui’s expression was not good, and her voice slowly rang out, “I didn’t come to see you because I didn’t know how to see you.”

"It wasn't because of your affair with Xiaoyao that I embarked on the path of an evil soul master. At the time, I was already a member of the Holy Spirit Cult. The Holy Spirit Cult didn't want to see the Black and White Holy Dragons destroy the Cult's plans together, so I was ordered by the Cult Leader to sow discord between you and Xiaoyao."

"If anyone should feel guilty, it should be me who has wronged you." Ye Xishui looked at Mu En's tall and straight figure in front of her, her eyes deep and filled with unconcealed sorrow.

As a fellow Limit Douluo, she knew that Mu En, though seemingly powerful, was already at his limit. He was just using some kind of power to maintain his current appearance. Once his soul power was exhausted, his body would disappear completely along with his lifespan.

"Now that your time is up, there are some things I've kept in my heart for so many years, and I should tell you the truth."

“I should have returned to the Holy Spirit Cult to report back much earlier, but I really developed feelings for you when I was with you. And between you and Xiaoyao, my choice has always been Xiaoyao.”

Mu En seemed to be stunned for a long time, listening to the events of a hundred years ago being recounted by Ye Xishui again, but he didn't seem as excited as he had expected.

Perhaps after a hundred years, his feelings for Ye Xishui have faded, and what he still cares about is just an obsession, or even just an unwillingness to believe the truth.

Back when he traveled the continent with Ye Xishui and Xiaoyao, all three of them were already powerful Soul Masters. How could they easily mistake one person for another, ultimately leading to a grave mistake?

Perhaps it wasn't just Mu En himself; even Long Xiaoyao simply didn't want to believe the truth.

"Thank you." Moon bowed slightly and sighed softly. "Thank you for telling me all this. With that, I have no regrets."

After speaking, his expression turned serious, and his eyes transformed into vertical pupils like those of a dragon. "The past is gone, let all that has passed end today." Long Xiaoyao, who was standing to the side, had already adjusted his posture and leaped into the air again, giving Mu En a complicated look.

He could also hear what Ye Xishui had just said. Although Ye Xishui had fallen in love and did not act according to the Holy Spirit Church's arrangements, an irreparable rift had still formed between him and Mu En.

"I have done many wrong things. If I can die by your hand, I will die without regret."

Long Xiaoyao slowly raised his head. "In the past, when we fought, I always lost to you by one move. In the end, you got the title of Dragon God, and I could only get the title of Dragon Emperor."

"Today, let's settle this once again."

After speaking, a hoarse dragon roar resounded from Long Xiaoyao's throat, and blood splattered from his mouth along with the roar. His body transformed into a huge black dragon and soared into the sky.

"Xiaoyao!"

Ye Xishui let out a soft cry. How could she not see that Long Xiaoyao was already determined to die, just like Mu En at this moment, unleashing his power without any regard for what was behind him?

"You've never owed me much, so why this?"

The black dragon that Long Xiaoyao had transformed into seemed to have heard Ye Xishui's voice, and its huge dragon head turned back slightly to take a look.

"Throughout my life, I have spent half my life fighting evil and protecting the righteous, and the other half serving as an accomplice to tyrants. I only wish to die and cleanse myself of all my sins."

Long Xiaoyao paused for a moment, his dragon eyes gleaming slightly. "Although we are not husband and wife in name, we have loved each other. This is the last thing I can do for you."

After saying that, he no longer hesitated. Although he knew that Moon's strength was now above his own, he still charged forward without fear.

"Xiaoyao..."

Ye Xishui watched Long Xiaoyao fly away, called out softly, and looked at the sky above where light and shadow intertwined, her expression constantly changing.

Looking back, he saw the Holy Spirit Cult members staring at him with fervent eyes. Zhongli Wu, who was in the lead, slightly opened his mouth, as if calling for his mother.

A look of disgust flashed across Ye Xishui's face. Finally, she sighed softly, as if she had made a decision, and flew upwards.

On the ground, in the central army, which was completely protected by the Sun Moon Empire's army, Ju Zi, dressed in full armor, was looking up at the sky in the distance.

Beside him, an old man stood quietly, also looking up into the distance.

"Master Kong, how is the battle going? Do you think we have a chance to win?"

Kong Deming shook his head slightly, his face extremely grim. "As expected of Shrek Academy, they actually have such hidden strength."

“I’m not sure if we can win this fight, but after today, we will have two fewer opponents.”
