Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spirit Ball, Come Out, Haki Dance!

Chapter 124 Interception (2)

The sounds of battle echoed through the sky as Sword Douluo's longsword clashed with the soul skills of Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, creating a shower of light and the deafening clang of metal against metal.

Ye Xuan leaned against the inner wall of the carriage, and he could clearly sense the soul power fluctuations of the Serpent Spear Douluo rapidly approaching.

As agreed beforehand, the meticulously planned scheme to fake his death and escape was finally about to begin.

He turned his head to look at Meng Yiran beside him. The girl was frowning, staring anxiously at the battlefield outside the window, her small hand unconsciously clutching his sleeve.

Ever since she embarked on her journey to Wuhun City, she had been constantly uneasy. In her eyes, besides dependence, there was also a deep affection that she herself was unaware of.

Ye Xuan sneered inwardly. Tang San, Tang San, your girlfriend, whom you cherish so much, has already unknowingly reserved a small space in her heart for me, an outsider.

This faked death was not only to escape, but also to completely sever the last possible connection between you and her.

"Brother Xuan Ye, will Sword Douluo and the others be alright?"

Meng Yiran's voice trembled slightly, interrupting Ye Xuan's thoughts.

Jiangzhu, standing beside him, also looked worried, her hands clenched tightly as if she were ready to offer assistance at any moment.

Ye Xuan raised his hand and gently patted Meng Yiran's hand, his tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable firmness.

"Don't worry, Sword Douluo is a Title Douluo, and Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo may not be able to gain the upper hand. Our staying here is the best support we can give to our teachers."

He knew that these words were merely words of reassurance; once the Serpent Spear Douluo made his move, this place would become the focus of the entire battlefield.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a powerful surge of soul energy swept over the carriage like a dark cloud, causing it to tremble violently as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed. They're here! Almost instinctively, he shielded Meng Yiran and Jiangzhu behind him, and his soul power instantly circulated, causing four soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, and purple—to suddenly rise.

The phantom of the "Tyrant Tiger" martial spirit appeared behind him, and the roar of the tiger repelled the oncoming shockwave.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, the roof of the carriage was ripped off by a tremendous force, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere.

A figure clad in a black cloak, his face obscured by a mask, hovered in the air, a spear in his hand gleaming with a chilling light—it was none other than the Serpent Spear Douluo!

His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, sweeping over the three people in the carriage before finally settling on Meng Yiran. The killing intent in his eyes was so intense it was almost tangible.

"Tang San's girlfriend?" The Serpent Spear Douluo's voice was hoarse and cold, filled with undisguised malice. "Since she's his woman, then she's dead!"

With a flick of his wrist, the spear pierced the air and hurtled straight toward Meng Yiran.

The speed was so fast that it gave people no time to react.

Jiangzhu cried out in alarm, but was unable to move due to the pressure of that terrifying soul power.

Meng Yiran turned pale with fright, her pupils contracted sharply, and for a moment she forgot to dodge.

At this critical moment, Ye Xuan suddenly pushed Meng Yiran away and leaped up to shield her.

"If you want to hurt her, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

His voice was loud and clear, carrying a sense of resolute tragedy.

His soul power erupted without reservation, and his fourth soul skill, "Heavenly Tiger Tribulation - Annihilation Kill," was activated instantly. Three black claw-like beams tore through the air and headed towards Serpent Spear Douluo's spear.

"Overestimating yourself!" Serpent Spear Douluo sneered, his spear slightly deflecting to easily avoid the claw strike. Then, his strength surged, piercing straight through Ye Xuan's defenses and stabbing fiercely into his chest.

"Pfft!"

Blood gushed out, staining Ye Xuan's clothes red.

He could clearly feel the excruciating pain of the spear piercing his body. Although the Serpent Spear Douluo had deliberately avoided vital points and used a special method to simulate a fatal wound, the heart-wrenching pain was incredibly real.

Ye Xuan groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained fixed firmly on Meng Yiran.

Meng Yiran witnessed this scene right after Ye Xuan pushed her away.

The moment the spear pierced Ye Xuan's abdomen, she felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain making it hard to breathe.

"Brother Xuan Ye!" she cried out in anguish, trying to rush over, but Jiang Zhu held her back tightly.

"Don't go! It's too dangerous!"

Jiangzhu cried as she tried to persuade him, saying that she could sense the terrifying soul power emanating from the Serpent Spear Douluo, which was something they could not possibly contend with.

The Serpent Spear Douluo looked at Ye Xuan, who was blocking his way, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. Then, a cruel smile appeared on his lips.

"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

He suddenly pulled out his spear, and Ye Xuan staggered back a few steps, blood gushing from the wound in his abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, Serpent Spear Douluo's soul power surged, and his fifth soul skill, "Serpent Spear Breaking Boundaries," was activated. The spear transformed into a giant snake shadow, carrying a world-destroying momentum, and smashed fiercely towards Ye Xuan.

"don't want!"

Meng Yiran's eyes were bloodshot, and tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.

At this moment, Liu Erlong, who had already defeated her opponent on the other side of the battlefield, saw Ye Xuan in danger. She roared angrily, unleashing her soul power as she charged towards the Serpent Spear Douluo: "Let him go!"

But it was too late.

The Serpent Spear Douluo's fifth soul skill had already hit Ye Xuan, and the huge snake shadow instantly swallowed his body.

After a loud bang, Ye Xuan's body was torn to shreds by the impact of the soul skill, turning into a cloud of blood mist that drifted into the air.

"Brother Xuan Ye!"

Meng Yiran let out a heart-wrenching cry, and collapsed to the ground as if all her strength had been drained away.

Her eyes widened as she stared intently at the spot where the blood mist had dissipated, her gaze vacant, as if she had lost her soul.

The image of Ye Xuan standing in front of her kept replaying in her mind.

The words, "If you want to hurt her, you'll have to step over my dead body first," were branded into her heart, causing her unbearable pain.

She felt her world completely collapse at that moment.

The Serpent Spear Douluo looked at Meng Yiran, who was lying on the ground in a state of madness, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Having completed his mission, he lingered and vanished from the battlefield in a flash.

With the departure of the Serpent Spear Douluo.

The Chrysanthemum and Demon Douluo engaged in a fierce battle that lasted for a quarter of an hour.

Ultimately, they realized they couldn't defeat Sword Douluo. After exchanging a glance, they quickly retreated with the remaining five Soul Saints.

The fighting on the cliff gradually subsided, leaving only a devastated battlefield and a group of people still in shock.

The Blue Tyrant Academy team members gathered around, their faces filled with grief and shock as they looked at Meng Yiran, who was lying on the ground, and the empty carriage.

"Xuan Ye... Xuan Ye, he..." Dai Mubai's voice choked, unable to speak. Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and the others also had tears in their eyes.

Xuan Ye was not only their deputy captain, but also their brother. Now, he died protecting Meng Yiran, which was hard for them to accept.

Tang San, supported by Yu Xiaogang, also walked over.

He stared in astonishment at the spot where the blood mist had dissipated.

Xuan Ye is dead?
