Douluo Continent: From Internal Martial Arts to the Law of Heaven and Earth

"You're in charge of giving directions." Zhu Qinggao grabbed the old servant by the neck with one hand, not caring at all whether it would hurt him, and disappeared in a few leaps.

……

Tang Shan was unaware that the Zhu family's two cats had begun their escape. He and Gu Yue continued to travel from city to city, encountering all sorts of people and witnessing countless different landscapes. Their hearts were repeatedly tempered and refined amidst the hustle and bustle of the world, and their will silently accumulated strength in the face of the myriad aspects of human life. Their foundation grew increasingly solid, waiting only for the right opportunity to undergo a fundamental transformation.

Tangshan and Guyue were located in Xinghai City, a city near the sea in the Xingluo Empire.

Compared to the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire had more advanced shipbuilding technology. Giant ships were docked at the pier, and large amounts of seafood were unloaded from the ships. Occasionally, one or two sea spirit beasts could be seen struggling for a moment before dying completely and condensing into spirit rings.

At first, Tang Shan was a little surprised to see the endless rows of ships of the Star Luo Empire, but after thinking about the situation in the Heaven Dou Empire, it didn't seem so strange.

The Heavenly Dou Empire doesn't actually control much territory. The vast majority of its territory has long been divided up by kingdoms and duchies. People under its rule have different thoughts, and many of them want the emperor to take turns. This year it's my turn, but the domestic forces haven't been united. They're all using their energy to scheme against each other, so they don't have any extra time to study technology.

The Star Luo Empire is different. Although the system of princes killing each other is extremely cruel, it can select rulers with absolutely top-notch comprehensive abilities. In addition, the imperial power is highly centralized and the Dai family has absolute control over everything, so its development speed is naturally far greater than that of the loosely organized Tian Dou.

Tang Shan and Gu Yue were currently in a restaurant called Sea God's Restaurant. A huge round table was densely packed with all sorts of sea monster meat, prepared in various ways, emitting a rich aroma. Thankfully, the restaurant only had private rooms; otherwise, the intense fragrance would likely have attracted considerable attention.

It's important to know that the dishes at this restaurant are incredibly expensive, with basic charges calculated in gold soul coins. Even for a Soul Master, a single meal here would be a painful experience, let alone for someone like Tang Shan and Gu Yue to order so extravagantly. Such a situation is not unique, but it is certainly rare.

"This stir-fried sea prawn tastes really good, you should try it." Gu Yue was eating heartily while recommending the dishes she thought were delicious to Tang Shan, her little face full of satisfaction.

When eating soul beast meat on land, she would symbolically shed a few sad tears to express her grief. But when eating sea soul beast meat, Gu Yue completely abandoned her inhibitions and ate with a clear conscience. After all, sea soul beasts were traitors among soul beasts, already destined for death.

Tang Shan kept his hands busy while looking at the menu, his expression quite strange.

This restaurant is called Poseidon's Restaurant, which is fine, but what they actually sell are the Poseidon's subjects—Sea Spirit Beasts.

Selling sea spirit beasts is one thing, but the menu items are all related to the sea god. Tang Shan is really curious whether the owner of this restaurant even knows about the existence of the sea god.

If you knew the answer, wouldn't naming a dish with this name be suicidal? If you didn't know, this is still not how you name a dish; just associating it with the sea god is truly bizarre.

The exquisitely cooked seafood tasted truly superb. After entering their stomachs and intestines, it was quickly digested and transformed into pure essence, flowing into their limbs and bones. Their physical abilities began to improve again, and their cells greedily absorbed the nutrients, promoting their own transformation. Half an hour later, the two of them had devoured all the food on the table, leaving only a mess of cups and plates.

Leaning back in their soft chairs, Tang Shan and Gu Yue wore expressions of satisfaction, clearly pleased with their meal. After a while, Gu Yue asked Tang Shan curiously, "How did you know there was a restaurant like this here?"

Tang Shan raised an eyebrow and pointed to the ceiling: "I didn't know there was a restaurant here, but I do know there's someone here who's hostile towards me."

Gu Yue suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. A Star Luo Soul Saint is hiding here. He's our target this time, right?"

Tang Shan nodded: "That's right. He's in the box above us. His soul power level isn't high, around level 72 or 73."

Gu Yue's face showed a hint of doubt: "That doesn't make sense either. If the other party came to find you, why would they specifically come to Xinghai City in Linhai?"

Tang Shan shrugged: "I'm also very puzzled, but that obvious malice is undeniable. If he didn't have any ill intentions towards me, I wouldn't have sensed anything from that distance."

Tangshan's premonitions can be divided into two categories: one is a passive crisis premonition, which can be sensed and detected within a certain range, regardless of whether it is malicious or not, as long as it is dangerous, such as Xiong Jun and Zi Ji who are sitting on the roof of the Sea God Restaurant.

Another type is an existence that is malicious and can endanger his life. This kind of sensing has no distance limit, and its range is not limited to the Star Luo Empire. There are many other places as well, but there are more in the Star Luo Empire.

As for who else is there, well, there is a very threatening presence in the direction of Wuhun City.

If the sense of crisis from other directions was like a bright light bulb, then the sense of crisis from the direction of Wuhun City was like a large lamp hanging from the ceiling, extremely dazzling.

Considering the powerful figures in Wuhun City, Tang Shan didn't need to think much to know who harbored such malice towards him—Bibi Dong, what grudge do we hold that makes you hate me so much?

To be honest, Tang Shan didn't understand. He hadn't provoked the other party. At most, they had a clash of wills, and he ended up suffering a small loss and almost getting mentally damaged. After that, they never saw each other again. So why did the other party hate him so much? Was that right?

"When will we take care of him?" Gu Yue stood up, gently rubbed her slightly swollen belly, and asked Tang Shan softly.

Tang Shan's blood and qi circulated slightly, accelerating the digestion of the seafood feast he had just eaten. Looking at the bustling streets outside, he casually said, "We'll make our move whenever he leaves the city. Let's cooperate well this time; a great battle awaits us in the future."

Tang Shan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the ever-moving source of danger located in the Star Luo Empire. He had a premonition that if he defeated the opponent, his karmic ties with the Star Luo Empire would be temporarily resolved.

……

Zhu Zhuyun's clothes were soaked through and clung tightly to her body, outlining her exquisite curves. Her wet hair clung to her neck and shoulders, adding to her disheveled yet alluring aura.

She held Zhu Zhuqing's small hand tightly as they darted through the mountains and forests, her eyes sharp and alert. Only after scanning her surroundings to make sure it was safe did she gradually slow down, her breathing erratic.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Zhu Zhuyun was panting heavily, her tight-fitting clothes outlining her voluptuous curves, her breasts heaving and swaying in a captivating arc.

Compared to her older sister, Zhu Zhuqing suffered greater damage; her face was pale, her eyes were somewhat dim, and her body was almost completely drained.

"Sister, did we escape the pursuit?" Zhu Zhuqing asked weakly, her body swaying slightly.

“They should still be following us, but the scent tracking will temporarily fail after we enter the water. Although they can re-lock onto us using some special soul skill, it will still take quite a while. We can rest here for a while longer,” Zhu Zhuyun said calmly, stating her deduction.

"Sister, why don't we split up and run? That way we'll have a better chance of escaping," Zhu Zhuqing said earnestly, raising her small face.

Zhu Zhuyun refused without hesitation: "No, you'll definitely be the first one caught. What's the point of me running away if you get caught and taken back?"

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing still wanted to speak, Zhu Zhuyun helplessly flicked the girl's forehead: "And don't forget, I am their real target. Your fiancé has already run away. If he runs away too, it won't be a big problem for you, little kitten."

But my fiancé is still in Xingluo City. They'll definitely do everything in their power to bring me back. Even if you're brought back, they won't let me go, understand? My silly sister.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed slightly upon hearing her sister's subsequent words. Her initial thought of sacrificing herself for her sister was completely extinguished by Zhu Zhuyun's analysis.

Seeing the subtle change in Zhu Zhuqing's expression, Zhu Zhuyun revealed a beautiful smile, raised her head, and looked at the unknown road ahead: My sister, you are so adorably silly. We are sisters, and you and those two from the Dai family can definitely achieve Martial Soul Fusion. If you were really captured and taken back, you might not have come to capture me. Unfortunately, I will not allow you to do that. After all, I am the older sister.

Leave application form at the beginning of the month

This is my first time taking a break without updating. I've been updating continuously, and I can't keep up. I'll probably rest for one or two days, but I'll definitely resume updating on the third day.

Chapter 335 Swift Kill

Xinghai City is located near the sea. The moist sea breeze, carrying a faint salty smell, blows continuously from the sea, sweeping over the scattered houses and streets, and gently caressing the skin of passersby with the unique coolness of the deep sea.

A slightly overweight middle-aged man walked out of the city, accompanied by a voluptuous and beautiful woman. The woman's body was almost pressed against the man's, and the man was completely unreserved, not caring about the strange looks from others. His large hands roamed freely over her body, and his expression was very lewd.

After walking quite a distance, the middle-aged man finally stopped what he was doing, and by then, the woman in his arms was already panting heavily.

"Alright, baby, I have to go on my mission now. I'll come see you again when it's over." The man gently patted the woman's back in his arms, comforting her softly.

The woman's face was still flushed, and she deliberately put on a slightly coquettish voice as she said, "Then I'll be waiting for you."

The man clearly enjoyed this approach, his face full of pleasure. He took advantage of the situation again before finally releasing his tight embrace of the woman.

Whether it was her natural talent or the result of years of experience, the woman kept turning back at every step, her eyes filled with reluctance, providing ample emotional value as she slowly disappeared from the man's sight.

The man's face was flushed. He raised his large, fat hand to his nose and took a deep sniff, his face full of ecstasy.

After savoring the moment, he set off again, his face filled with greed and desire. He muttered to himself, "Tangshan, I hope I can meet you. The Fourth Elder said that if I can find you, he can provide me with ten of the most outstanding virgins. At that time, I will definitely be overjoyed."

There was a fork in the road ahead. If you followed this fork to the end, you could turn directly onto the official road laid out by the Star Luo Empire. The man walked halfway and then stopped, because someone was already waiting for him ahead.

In the middle of the road stood a man and a woman. The man was exceptionally handsome, with a high, straight nose, distinct features, and a face that combined strong angles with soft lines. He had fair skin and exceptionally bright and deep eyes, making him shine like a star.

Although the girl's face was equally exquisite and beautiful, it paled in comparison to the man's radiance. Her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, flowing smoothly to her shoulders. Her dark eyes were as clear and bright as luminous pearls, with a bright and lively gaze.

"Who are you?" The overweight middle-aged man frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

"We've been waiting for you for quite some time." Tang Shan crossed his arms and looked the Star Luo Soul Saint up and down. He really didn't expect that this person came to Star Sea City to see his lover. You're on a mission, bro.

"Waiting for me?" The middle-aged man frowned, looking Tang Shan up and down. The moment the young man's appearance matched a certain piece of information in his memory, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed, "You are Tang Shan!"

Before Tang Shan could react, the overweight middle-aged man instantly activated his martial spirit, seven spirit rings appeared, and fiery wings spread out behind him. With a sudden flap, he soared into the sky and flew away into the distance.

Tangshan?! Guyue?!

To be honest, Tang Shan wasn't surprised that the man recognized him without him trying to hide anything. But what was with the man running away immediately after recognizing him? You're a Soul Saint, why don't you be a little more stubborn and try to fight back?

Fortunately, he had Gu Yue with him this time, otherwise Tang Shan really wouldn't have been able to deal with this kind of flying-type Soul Saint who would spread his wings and fly away as soon as he saw him.

Another day of envying Tang Chen. He encountered a magic-attack opponent of the same level and managed to defeat him by going head-to-head with him. His luck is simply unmatched.

Qian Daoliu: Kid, do you have any manners?

hum!

As the Soul Saint's figure blurred rapidly and was about to disappear into the sky, Gu Yue calmly summoned his own Martial Soul, and the four Soul Rings, two yellow and two purple, pulsed up and down beneath his feet.

Her first soul skill, Silver Dragon Power, and her second soul skill, Elemental Scepter, were activated simultaneously. Silver scales covered her, and her figure grew even taller. A brilliant silver scepter appeared out of thin air and was held in her hand.

"Open!" Gu Yue shouted softly, and ripples spread through the space like water, instantly revealing a spatial passage in front of him.

The violent elemental forces surged wildly, the water spheres gathered icy cold air, the wind blades carried the sharpness to cut through the air, the ice cones flashed with a bone-chilling cold light, and the earth spikes were wrapped with the heavy power of the earth. In just a few breaths, an ocean of elements appeared around Gu Yue.

"Go!" With a light lift of her jade hand, countless attacks converged into a surging torrent, carrying immense power, and passed straight through the spatial passage in front of her. A ferocious crack suddenly tore open above the head of the Star Luo Soul Saint, who was about to disappear completely in the distance. Countless elemental attacks, like a surging tide, with overwhelming power, instantly engulfed him completely.

"Let's go." Gu Yue waved her hand, expanding the spatial passage in front of her, and looked at Tang Shan beside her.

Without hesitation, Tang Shan took the girl's right hand and stepped straight inside.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Various elemental attacks exploded on the flying Star Luo Soul Saint. If he hadn't reacted in time and activated his Martial Soul True Body in an instant, he would probably have been seriously injured by this first wave of attacks.

In the vast sky, a fiery bird with a wingspan of nearly twenty meters spread its wings, its entire body burning with raging flames. Its feathers were like solidified magma, and the terrifying high temperature scorched the surrounding air, causing it to twist and steam continuously. Waves of heat spread wildly outward from its body, making it look like a blazing sun falling from the sky.

hum!

Tang Shan and Gu Yue emerged from the spatial passage. Gu Yue summoned two extremely concentrated vortexes of wind to steadily support the two of them in the air, confronting the firebird.

"Gu Yue, we might have to rely on you from now on." Tang Shan looked at the giant firebird soaring in the sky with a sense of helplessness.

He was merely a Soul Master. Even though his soul power far surpassed that of ordinary people, he still did not possess the brief ability to remain airborne like a Soul Saint. Not to mention, the Soul Saint in front of him could not only fly, but his martial soul was also a bird, making his flight speed absolutely extraordinary.

"What do you want to do?" The giant firebird transformed from the Star Luo Soul Saint spoke in human language, asking with a fierce but weak tone.

"Isn't it obvious? Of course they're here to kill you," Gu Yue said, somewhat puzzled but matter-of-factly.

"Why? I don't think I've ever provoked you. You can't just kill me because I'm a Star Luo Soul Saint. This is indiscriminate killing." Soul Saint Ma Xiao still stubbornly retorted, hoping that the two people in front of him would let him go.

“There are three reasons.” Tang Shan paused slightly, his tone flat and even. “First, when your Star Luo Empire assassinated me, did you ever consider my innocence?”

Ma Xiao felt a little guilty and tried to argue, "How can you be so sure that the person who assassinated you was sent by our Star Luo Empire?"

Tang Shan ignored the other party's argument and continued, "Secondly, since I am under the command of the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and have the opportunity to weaken the strength of your Star Luo, why not take advantage of it?"

Ma Xiao was speechless. The other party's reasoning was indeed irrefutable. The struggle between the two empires had no right or wrong, good or evil; there was only pure interests and victory or defeat.

"As for the third reason..."

Tangshan's words seemed to carry a hint of hesitation, which caught Ma Xiao's attention.

Tear!

A massive spatial passage formed in front of Tang Shan, who leaped straight into it. His body rapidly expanded, his muscles bulged like steel, and his body grew taller and taller. Four spirit rings appeared and flashed simultaneously.

Before Ma Xiao could react to the sudden realization that something was wrong, a giant standing eighteen meters tall, exceptionally burly, and clad in heavy purple-gold armor descended from the sky. The armor shimmered with light, every inch brimming with explosive power. With his fists clenched and clenched, he slammed down with tremendous force. At the same time, Tang Shan's roar echoed across the sky: "Third! If you don't want us to attack you, then retract that attack gathering under your claws!"

boom!

The giant descended from the sky, its fist crashing down with tremendous force. The air and the sound barrier shattered instantly, and the supersonic fist landed silently on the back of the firebird, producing a deafening thud of flesh colliding. The collision of their massive bodies generated a terrifying impact, slamming the firebird's enormous body downwards, feathers flying and flames scattering.

Boom!
