Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

His evaluation of Qian Shui was far beyond expectations. Bibi Dong and Tang Hao back then were far inferior to him. With the ability to fly, Qian Shui would probably walk on Hell Road as if it were flat ground!

However, he still harbored some illusions.

"You probably don't know how terrifying the Road to Hell is. Demon Singer, I hope you understand that a person only has one life."

"No need for all that trouble. If you don't want my teacher to settle accounts with you and the killing, you can just chop me up. You can't possibly not know why I'm here!"

'Bring on Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, the God of Slaughter? She'd be incredibly useful!'

The turbulent waters, however, left the King of Slaughter helpless.

But he couldn't really kill Qian Shui. Bibi Dong's aura had appeared once more than a year ago, and its strength was so great that it seemed to be deliberately announcing her existence. At that time, she was in a room with Qian Shui.

(Hit me? I'm really strong~~~ — Thousand Water Douluo)

"Since that's the case, then you should take the Hell Road. It'll be a worthwhile trip."

If you manage to pass the trials of Hell Road and become the new God of Slaughter, please give my regards to your elders.

The King of Slaughter's tone became noticeably colder. He knew that as long as the Thousand Waters moved, the Road to Hell would be no match for him. He needed to be able to make that judgment.

A thick red mist suddenly emanated from the King of Slaughter, and the immense aura forced Qian Shui to unleash his full soul power in defense.

'This is the aura of a Rakshasa, isn't it? This is evil?'

This was pure malice, which gave Qian Shui a more concrete understanding of evil, and it was definitely not just a simple matter of killing intent!

'Kindness really does warm people's hearts!'

If kindness is simply being helped up when you fall down.

Evil feeds on suffering; it means that even when you fall, it will make you watch helplessly as it disembowels and brutally abuses you!

The Fallen Ones sitting in the audience were all unusually excited; they all hoped to see the Hell Road open.

However, what they didn't know was that their lives had come to an end.

Apart from the God of Slaughter and the King of Slaughter, no one has ever seen the Hell Road open, because all those who have seen it are dead.

Or rather, they all became sacrifices for opening the road to hell!

'A melon from this place really tastes that good? It should be buried with you!'

Chapter 121 Safe Travels

"The behemoth pounces on its prey with overwhelming force. But I'm also in a position to dominate the airspace."

For some reason, the moment I landed on the Hell Road, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King appeared.

"Those who gave me life are unacceptable, those I gave life to are unacceptable, those I love are unacceptable, but all others are acceptable!"

With the giant sword drawn, Qian Shui showed no intention of testing the waters in the face of the colossal creature. Not even being human, he simply unleashed his full power without any psychological burden.

A large number of blood bats swarmed towards Qian Shui, and squeaking and ultrasonic waves began to fill the entire space.

"Fox's Leap of Concealment, Self-Use Version Without Soul Rings!"

Ignoring the small blood bats, Qian Shui attacked the three-headed bat king directly, leaping high and using his greatsword to slash at it with remarkable ease.

'Let me browse you first! Then unleash my ultimate move!'

With a single sword strike, he cleaved off the middle head of the three-headed bat king. In the process, he released his grip and immediately activated the Dark Gold Terror Claw Soul Bone Technique, preparing to decapitate the other two heads.

"Did you slip your hand?"

Looking at the giant sword falling into the abyss, Qian Shui didn't want to retrieve it. He just suppressed the violence in his heart, his brows furrowed, and looked at his right hand.

But there was no time for him to hesitate. A large number of blood bats swooped toward him with shrieks, while the three-headed bat king took the opportunity to recover.

"Hmph! If you can't beat them, you can't just run away?"

(Nieluda yo~——Thousand Water Douluo)

The imperial envoy asked Qian Shui, and she swiftly left the spot.

"Calm down! What's the use of being strong if you can't hit your target!"

He also had some time to reflect. The impact of the Slaughter City on his emotions was enormous. Given his previous record of almost never missing an attack on a large soul beast, that was a basic mistake he absolutely could not have made.

'At such close range, he still couldn't hit! Damn!'

Just as he was feeling discouraged, a giant snake rushed straight from the abyss towards Qianshui, followed by a large group of blood bats and a three-headed bat king in flight.

It spun several times, dodging the simultaneous attacks of both, before landing.

"Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpents!? This thing is actually useful!"

With his senses fully activated, Qian Shui instantly locked onto the giant snake. The snake's inner core was equivalent to a fire-attribute soul ring!

Mingxin was drawn, and Qianshui attacked the energy clusters on the snake's back without hesitation, instantly piercing all three clusters.

"That bastard is so annoying! Mingxin's Great Light Cannon!"

The blood bats relentlessly pursued her. As Qian Shui turned and fell, she directly gathered her soul power and used the momentum of her sword to unleash a soul power bubble, scattering the entire swarm of blood bats. The force of the bubble did not diminish and slammed into the three-headed bat king.

"Damn! This is such a waste of effort! This thing is so weak and consumes so much mana!"

He had already studied the method of condensing soul power to unleash a powerful attack. Who wouldn't love a powerful beam of light? However, this was really just a beam of light, and with his current soul power, he wouldn't be able to use it more than a few times.

So, unsurprisingly, the three-headed bat king was unharmed, except that some of his fur was burned.

Qian Shui ignored all of that, made a comment, and immediately took out Wenxin and attacked the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.

The killing intent in his heart grew stronger and stronger. The fleshy tumor of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent continuously released black light. He himself moved very fast. Qian Shui became more and more anxious, as if he were obsessed with drawing cards, determined to get the result no matter what.

But it did indeed break through nine tumors; 'Damn, they really are relentless!'

The three-headed bats attacked relentlessly, leaving Qian Shui with no choice but to dodge and weave.

He's currently in a predicament where he can't attend to both ends. He's not afraid of either opponent in a one-on-one fight, but he's somewhat inept in a one-on-one situation.

If you can't activate your primordial spirit against the giant serpent, how can you prepare its inner core if you annihilate its soul? The most disgusting one is the three-headed bat king; all three heads must be defeated simultaneously to kill it.

Normally, Qian Shui could do this easily, but he was hesitant now. Not only might a soul attack be ineffective, but his mind wasn't clear enough, causing his accuracy to plummet. Slaying a snake would be easier, but it was too big.

The situation was extremely dire. The Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent had finally released its inner core, but this did not mean the end of the matter; on the contrary, it was the most dangerous moment yet.

These two, a snake and a bat, showed no intention of cooperating or holding back. They attacked without any restraint, solely to kill Qian Shui!

A massive black vortex appeared, 'Trying to self-destruct? I've been waiting for you!'

Qian Shui stopped entangled with the three-headed bat king and, in a flash, his primordial spirit possessed him and rushed directly towards the head of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent, annihilating its soul in one strike!

"Inner core obtained! Let's go! No more fighting!"

Having grabbed the inner core, Qian Shui gave the Three-Headed Bat King the middle finger and then flew towards the exit on his sword.

……

"It's him?"

Qian Renxue was currently traveling through the villages between Tiandou City, inspecting the lives of ordinary people.

Thanks to her promise to Qian Shui, Qian Renxue's perspective finally shifted to ordinary people.

Unfortunately, in any world, a performance-style report is inevitable. At the beginning, a large number of officials accompanied the procession. Unsurprisingly, the ordinary villages were cleaned up and filled with life, except that there were a lot of Soul Masters.

After a few such incidents, Qian Renxue learned her lesson and began to travel incognito, but this also brought the awkwardness of having no public identity.

The position of Crown Prince is truly extraordinary. If there is nothing to do with hostile forces, what about the forces of enemy countries?

If it weren't for Qian Renxue, but if Xue Qinghe were alive, he would have been gone many times over by now.

"Your Highness?! Sigh, my luck is really bad..."

The speaker was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He was accompanied by only a little girl, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Silver and gold?"

Qian Renxue only brought three silly younger brothers and a few Soul Saint bodyguards with her on this trip, and she encountered Qian Shui's teammate Yin Jin.

Nearly three years have passed since the last Elite Tournament ended, but the impact of that competition on the entire Douluo Continent continues to unfold. Yin Jin and Chen Sha, as support players, were indeed not as outstanding as others, but they were still quite astonishing.

Although there weren't many support characters with offensive capabilities, and they only barely reached the Soul Master level, they still caused a great sensation at the time.

After all, Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the number one sect in the world, was present, and his reaction was genuine.

"teacher…"

"Lingling, don't be afraid, as long as it's not the Spirit Hall! I'm sure His Highness the Crown Prince would want to recruit me, a former member of the Spirit Team who has defected!"

Qian Renxue secretly rubbed her forehead. 'The eldest son of the Yin family defected to the Spirit Hall? And I ran into him?'

On the one hand, because of Yu Qianshui, she certainly wouldn't take any silver or gold.

On the other hand, she is also the young master of the Spirit Hall and the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. These two positions are contradictory, so how can she make a decision?

"Young Master Yin, why don't you come back to the Crown Prince's residence with us and discuss this further?"

"Okay~"

There's no decision yet, so we'll just have to wait and see. She doesn't know exactly what happened, and the final outcome will depend on how serious the consequences are.

...

"What was the meaning behind Yin Shao's previous remarks about defecting from the Spirit Hall?"

Seeing the travel-worn Yin Jin and the girl with him, Qian Renxue, who had settled down for a private chat, began her questioning.

"literal meaning."

Yin Jin picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then poured a cup for the girl sitting next to him.

"Oh? Then won't Young Master Yin introduce the girl next to you to me?"

Yin Jin pursed his lips, looking quite helpless, as if this was the key point.

"Her name is Ye Lingling, and her martial soul is the Nine-Hearted Begonia. I don't need to say anything more, right?"

When it comes to the Nine-Heart Begonia and the Ye family, Qian Renxue roughly understands what's going on.

When he said goodbye to his teammates, Qian Renxue was also by his side. He heard every word of Qian Shui's advice, but at the time, she was preoccupied and didn't think too much about it.

But now, the long passage of time has not erased that memory, and she has finally begun to have doubts.

"The Three Earthly Sects?"
