Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

He didn't know how long he had been killing; he only knew that the endless stream of heads stretched as far as the eye could see, until the last person who had charged at him fell at his feet.

"Who the hell is there?!"

A demonic roar, mixed with an explosion of soul and spirit power, echoed through the sky.

The deserted streets remained silent, offering no response to his devastating attack, which carried the power of lightning.

"You actually dodged it? You little beast!"

Originally, Yu Luomian was supposed to cause him trouble on the first day, but by making good use of the rules, Qian Shui hid behind the so-called 'King of Slaughter' woman without hesitation. After escaping, he activated his full stealth and found an inconspicuous place to rest.

However, despite all their calculations, they hadn't anticipated that not only Dugu Bo and Yu Luomian were driven into the Slaughter City, but also dozens of Soul Saints from the Heaven Dou Empire and several other lower-level Soul Masters.

At first, only a few dozen people rushed towards Qian Shui's residence without warning, and Qian Shui, with her perception fully activated, easily discovered them.

His first instinct was to slip away, since winning a hundred Hellfire Slaughter Arenas was enough; killing even one more person would be a waste of energy and effort.

To his surprise, he was besieged by several Soul Saint level experts before he had run far. This continued no matter which direction he went, and more and more people came to attack him until he was surrounded by hundreds of people.

At this point, he roughly understood that many of the degenerates were driven there, some were probably spontaneously trying to recruit new people, some were bribed, and some were just passing by and were coerced.

But in any case, the situation had already been set in motion. Adhering to the defensive strategy of attacking if there was no way to escape, he no longer held back and began a massacre with his swords!

Unfortunately, the Killing Capital is different from the outside world. The environment here constantly affects people. The one who chased him was blinded by rage, and the one who killed him was also blinded by rage. The only thing he still retained was his fighting spirit.

Fortunately, these people were just uncooperative fallen individuals, not a team capable of coordinated combat. If it were a different Soul Master team, Qian Shui would have no chance of dealing with them.

"You were surrounded by nearly a thousand people, and you didn't even get a scratch! You're truly a monster!"

Those below the Soul Emperor level only require a single strike to decapitate; even if there are many enemies, they can only be depleted of soul power.

"It's really you!"

Only a group of people of considerable size, a group of high-level Soul Masters, would be capable of planning and launching this attack, and there must be a sufficiently strong leader to suppress these unscrupulous degenerates in a place like the Killing City.

The one who suddenly attacked him was Yu Luomian, who could transform into a dragon and whose combat power in the City of Slaughter far surpassed that of Dugu Bo, unless Dugu Bo recklessly used poison.

Despite the grand scale of the event, which was originally intended to be a fatal blow, Qian Shui managed to dodge it, but Yu Luomian remained completely unconcerned.

Yu Luomian's attack had almost torn half of Qian Shui's body apart. Even though he narrowly dodged it, at least three of his ribs were reduced to ashes.

Just then, the enormous body of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King appeared behind Qian Shui, with Title Douluo Dugu Bo standing on it.

At this moment, feeling his almost depleted soul power and near-fatal injuries, Qian Shui felt somewhat annoyed, annoyed that he had looked down on soul skills. If he could release his fifth soul skill now, the situation wouldn't be so bad.

But his opponent gave him no time to be frustrated; two extremely powerful attacks, brimming with killing intent, were aimed directly at him.

'That's the only one I can try!'

As an energy body, the soul almost ignores the laws of the material world; passing through walls and traveling at high speeds are among its characteristics.

But all of this requires the support of soul power. Even if Qian Shui's primordial spirit leaves his body, he will not engage in any strenuous activities, nor will he stray far away.

Even when launching a coordinated attack, it will only be launched simultaneously the moment the main body gets close, thus balancing stealth and surprise.

However, this was a last resort. The farther away from the main body, the more difficult it was to control, and the greater the consumption of soul power. Just like a soul imprint, once the distance is too far, there is no signal. To connect, both mental and soul power need to be concentrated.

The most terrifying thing is the super-speed movement, which consumes the most soul power. Qian Shui estimated that even though he was about to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, if he wanted to launch an attack from a distance at extremely high speed, he could only use his soul power once at most, and there was a distance limit.

To use it without too many restrictions, one must at least reach the Nascent Soul stage and have a fully formed primordial spirit.

You only get one chance!

Qian Shui pinned his hopes on this kind of attack, but he didn't have much soul power left. He could manage against either Yu Luomian or Dugu Bo, but if they attacked together, he would have to use his physical body to attack one while his primordial spirit attacked the other.

To achieve this, the distance must be close enough! And if he fails, he will surely die from the combined attack of two attacks, each at least at the level of a Contra Douluo!

With this thought in mind, all his murderous intent and anger were cast aside. He regained the calmness he had in the face of high-difficulty dungeons. Things were different now; his body was far superior to that of Blue Star, even though he was seriously injured!

Without hesitation, with only offense and no defense, Qian Shui's body was pushed to its limit, and Ming Xin Wen Xin collided with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's claws at the same time.

Dugu Bo was overjoyed. He activated the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom, condensing it in his palm. With a palm strike containing titled soul power, he slammed it fiercely towards Qian Shui.

He had a backup plan; after all, this was a killing capital, and if poison could kill people, why would he go to such lengths?

As the Poison Douluo, he was absolutely confident that even if he couldn't kill Qian Shui with one palm, he would definitely be seriously injured. With the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison Technique, Qian Shui would surely die!

Just as his palm struck, a white light flashed, seemingly carrying a vortex, and he knew nothing more after that.

"puff!"

Behind Yu Luomian, Qian Shui, holding a knife, leaned on the ground with trembling hands. Although he was vomiting blood in large gulps, the gruesome sight of blood flowing from his seven orifices was clear.

With a slight smile, Qian Shui forced herself to stand up.

'Dugu Bo actually held back... Did he think the Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom could kill me? Ice and Fire Forged Body! Invulnerable to all poisons!'

He had thought he would be more seriously injured, but Dugu Bo's mercy made him have a greater chance of survival.

"Soul Bone! But you've probably been poisoned by that old poisoner! You won't survive!"

Yu Luomian transformed into a dragon, resembling a demon. Although Qian Shui appeared to be attacking Yu Luomian head-on, his focus was actually on Dugu Bo, aiming to kill this titled Douluo with the super-powerful control skill 'Medusa Gaze' in one blow to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. However, he also showed no mercy when attacking Yu Luomian, activating the Dark Gold Terror Claw!

Although the extremely sharp attack did not completely sever the dragon-transformed Jade Luo Mian's arm, it cut it in at least half, like a cleaver stuck in the middle of a bone. One of his arms was now useless!

"You old poisoner, you really don't know your own strength when using poison. It's spread so wide, I've been affected too! Go kill him!"

Dugu Bo was practically a human biological weapon; even in death, he would be like a leaked poison gas canister. Coincidentally, the two old guys were leaning against each other! And coincidentally, Yu Luomian had a wound!

Qian Shui laughed out loud, a laugh that was unusually ferocious, his killing intent completely undisguised and had become tangible.

But he didn't move. He sat cross-legged and began to circulate his energy to replenish his soul power. At the same time, he smiled and stared intently at the Jade Crown.

"Old Poison Master, I can't move! Either you detoxify me first, or you kill him! Old Poison Master..."

Yu Luomian couldn't help but turn around and look at Dugu Bo, but what he saw was Dugu Bo bleeding from all seven orifices, lifeless, yet still releasing dark green poison.

Yu Luomian was finally terrified: "You! Pfft..."

Overwhelmed by anger and poison, Yu Luomian collapsed, roaring defiantly at Qian Shui.

"Thousand! Water!!! Little beast!!"

But soon, he stopped moving.

It was unclear whether he had fainted or died, but he hadn't moved for a long time. Finally, Qian Shui made a judgment—

It is likely that Yu Luomian is indeed dead.

Chapter 117 The Arrival of Bibi Dong

“Great Venerable Elder of the Prickly Porcupine Temple.”

"Ah."

Qian Daoliu received the message from his subordinate. The centenarian knew it was about his granddaughter, and even with his cultivation level, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

The news was good, but unfortunately it annoyed him, since his prized possession had been taken!

No! It's like our own cabbage has been snatched up by someone else!

Although Qian Daoliu had watched Qian Shui grow up, he was well aware of Qian Shui's exceptional talent. In fact, Qian Daoliu was somewhat prepared and was taking a wait-and-see approach, since he knew that Qian Renxue was very likely to become a god!

If one must have a partner, they must be of equal social standing; otherwise, Qian Renxue will inevitably face only withered bones in a tomb!

After all, Chihiro's mother was like that.

"Let the Pope see this too!"

With the intention of causing Bibi Dong some trouble, Qian Daoliu had someone deliver it to Bibi Dong.

……

"Your Holiness the Pope, the High Priest proclaims a message!"

Bibi Dong, who was handling official business, was a little puzzled. Why would that old guy Qian Daoliu send her a message?

Stroking her brow, Bibi Dong replied, "I understand."

The messenger tactfully put down the opened letter.

After a while, having finished her official duties, Bibi Dong picked up the letter of award.

Regarding the explanation to the Spirit Hall, the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo discussed it. Since they didn't quite understand Qian Shui and Qian Renxue's actions anyway, they decided to write down everything they knew about the cause and effect clearly, without mixing in personal feelings or evaluations.

Therefore, what Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong saw was only a record of what they had seen and heard before Qian Shui entered the City of Slaughter.

Bibi Dong's inner thoughts are actually quite complicated. Back then, Qian Shui and Qian Renxue awakened their martial souls at the same time on Qian Renxue's sixth birthday, and Bibi Dong was not originally present.

She loathed everything about the Qian family, and Qian Renxue was Qian Xunji's bastard child; she would never go to such a place.

Qian Xunji did not force Bibi Dong in this regard, and on his daughter's joyous occasion, he did not want to see Bibi Dong's sullen face, so Qian Daoliu would not care either.

However, Qian Shui awakened twin martial souls. Although he was only at the first level of innate soul power, Qian Daoliu, who personally awakened the martial souls for Qian Shui, said it was not that simple. He should have been at full innate soul power, but the appearance of the second martial soul caused a change.

Perhaps because her second martial soul was too strong, Qian Shui's innate soul power was forcibly weakened to level one.

In Qian Xunji's original opinion, a child with innate level one soul power was a useless piece of trash, even with twin martial souls, he was nothing special. But this child started cultivating on the spot and broke through several levels of soul power on the spot!

With such a strange talent and the special nature of his martial soul, Bibi Dong was summoned!

Qian Shui was very clever; he gave up cultivating the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and discarded the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect like trash. Coupled with Qian Renxue and his own unique talent, he received special treatment.

Ghost Douluo, who possesses a similar martial soul to Qian Shui, and Bibi Dong, who also has twin martial souls, were placed before him, allowing him to choose his teacher!

In the end, Qian Shui chose Bibi Dong, because she liked pretty older women.

However, this reason has fallen apart over time, since Qian Shui was practically indifferent to her teacher.

This kid is clearly doing this for Qian Renxue!

Bibi Dong was very disgusted at the time, but she had to endure it until Qian Shui hunted the soul for the first time!

She simply abandoned Qian Shui in the Tian Dou Great Forest and left him with only a dagger before she left!

She believed that there was no need for such a thing as a disciple, let alone a friend of an illegitimate child!

At the same time, Qian Shui's birth also brought out one of the few remaining signs of humanity in Bibi Dong. She herself was an orphan adopted by the Spirit Hall, and she had nowhere to go, but Qian Shui did! He possessed the spirit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

If he could leave the Heaven Dou Great Forest and return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, perhaps he could escape the Spirit Hall, which she regarded as a den of demons!

The only consequence is that you will be punished.

However, Qian Shui did not do as she expected. He really did not return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Perhaps Qian Shui was young, but that did not hinder his strength at all!

Before the age of six, I was able to train myself, but I never expected this!
