Douluo Continent: Azure Dragon Slays Evil, Qilin Suppresses the World

Chapter 32 News of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King

Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment.

Then they went even further. Since the big shot was one of their own, what was there to hesitate about? They just started dismantling it!

Behind him, the Azure Phosphorus Serpent King frantically spewed out poisonous mist, causing the four Soul Saints and sixteen Soul Emperors to scream in agony as their skin began to ulcerate.

The people brought by Yu Luomian were as fragile as paper in front of a Title Douluo, utterly vulnerable.

Yu Luomian was unable to move due to Zi Ji's slight pressure and could only watch helplessly as his subordinates were tortured.

He's filled with regret right now.

If I had known that there was such a monster around Xuanqing, he would never have dared to come.

Two titled Douluo with 100,000-year spirit rings—what does that mean? You can't find another one like that in the entire Douluo Continent.

Xuanqing's slightly teasing voice rang out.

"Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex? A lizard that mutated to have dragon blood dares to call itself the number one beast spirit in the world? Who gave you the courage? Fish Leong?"

Yu Luomian didn't understand who Liang Jingru was, but he knew that this was a mockery of him. He was so angry that he trembled all over, but he didn't dare to retaliate.

Dugu Bo came over after dismantling the body.

"Take your people and get out! If you dare come back, I'll break your legs."

Xuanqing put her hand on his shoulder, looking helpless.

"When did you become so kind? Not only are you not killing them, but you're also planning to let them go?"

"You're letting them go, fine, but you don't want any compensation? We were threatened, are you just going to let it go like this?"

Dugu Bo was taken aback. "That's right!"

She was so angry she was speechless. He's not usually this easy to talk to, so why did he forget to make amends today?

He looked at Yu Luomian with eyes so cold they could kill.

"That kid is right. You scared my granddaughter and threatened us. This can't be left like this. We need an explanation."

Yu Luomian gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words.

"What do you want?"

Xuanqing started counting on her fingers.

"Let's do the math. There are four of us: me, Zi Ji, the old poisoner, and Yan Zi. One hundred million each for emotional distress isn't unreasonable, is it?"

"Let's just leave it at that for the 400 million gold soul coins. Otherwise, I'll turn you all into human stumps and send you back to Yu Yuanzhen as gifts."

Yu Luomian's face turned green upon hearing this.

"You...you're extorting me."

Four hundred million gold soul coins—even if they sold their entire family, they couldn't come up with that amount.

Xuanqing's reply was incredibly confident and self-assured.

"Isn't this blackmail? If you dare to threaten me, you should be prepared to be blackmailed, or you can choose another path."

Zi Ji understood what he meant and took out a hand-drawn map from her storage ring, throwing it in front of Yu Luomian.

"There's a detailed location on this map where there's a bear-like spirit beast with excellent meat. It's exactly 70,000 years old. Hunt it down and we'll call it even."

"Or you can just give me money directly, it's one of the two options, isn't that fair?"

Yu Luomian picked up the map and looked at it carefully; the map was very detailed.

He hesitated for a moment, realizing he definitely couldn't come up with 400 million gold soul coins.

Hunting a 70,000-year-old soul beast is dangerous, but it is still possible.

Moreover, you can obtain soul rings and soul bones after a successful hunt, so it's not a bad deal.

Yu Luomian gritted her teeth.

"We've chosen to hunt souls, but we need time to prepare and gather manpower."

"No problem. I'll wait for good news within a month. If it doesn't come by then, I'll personally go to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and have a good chat with that old dragon."

He spoke casually, but the threat was palpable. Yu Luomian knew that if the task wasn't completed within a month, Xuan Qing would truly come knocking on their door.

"Alright, I will definitely bring the soul beast back within a month."

Yu Luomian put away the map and, with the help of the still-mobile guard, left in a disheveled state.

They came in all high and mighty, but left looking utterly humiliated. They've really lost face today.

Only after they had gone far away did Dugu Yan breathe a sigh of relief and throw herself into Dugu Bo's arms.

"Grandpa, I was so scared! They really were going to arrest me."

Dugu Bo patted her head.

"It's alright, Grandpa's here."

Xue Qinghe spoke with a solemn expression.

"Brother Xuanqing, what exactly is that map you gave them? A mere 70,000-year-old soul beast is enough to make you give up?"

Dugu Bo echoed.

"Yeah, that's not like you at all."

Xuan Qing smiled, and that smile was a little cheeky.

"The 70,000 years figure was obviously a lie, but the bear-type spirit beast wasn't lying to them; it really was a bear."

"However, not seventy thousand years, but the king of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, which is over one hundred thousand years old."

"Those two things, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape? They're just a matter of one claw each in front of him."

Dugu Bo's old face twitched violently.

"You're too ruthless! Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear? That thing can fight a slightly weaker ten-thousand-year soul beast in a hundred years, and can tear a giant dragon apart in ten thousand years."

"Over 100,000 years old, how strong would that be? Perhaps only a peerless Douluo could handle it?"

Xue Qinghe also gasped.

"Even if it's only ten thousand years old, apart from Yu Yuanzhen, no one in the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can rival him."

"This is over 100,000 years old? Even if the entire Upper Three Sects went together, they might not be able to come back alive."

Xuan Qing shrugged.

If someone offends me, I will give them three chances. If they offend me again, I will eliminate them completely.

"If they survive, that's the end of the matter; if they don't, then it's just bad luck."

This is said lightly, but the content is cruel.

If they really dare to go, there's a very high chance they won't come back.

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath.

"This matter is extremely serious. I need to report it to my father immediately. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is arresting people within the Royal Academy. This is a slap in the face to the Empire."

"Your Highness, please proceed. However, I must remind you that since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan dared to attack the students of the Royal Academy, they dare to do the same elsewhere."

"This time it's arresting people, next time it might be killing them. The Empire should take some action, otherwise anyone will dare to step on its toes."

Xue Qinghe expressed his sincere gratitude.

"I understand. Farewell."

He left in a hurry and went back to report.

After he left, Dugu Bo looked at Zi Ji.

"Senior, is your spirit ring... real?"

Murasaki nodded.

"Is there a problem?"

"No...no, it's just...it's too shocking. Two 100,000-year soul rings, you can't find another one like that on the entire continent."

Xuan Qing smiled.

"You all know what my spirit rings are like. I've said it before: for those under ten thousand years old, as long as their physical attributes are sufficient, they can absorb spirit rings from higher levels."

"The first spirit ring lasts for six hundred years, the second spirit ring can last for a thousand years. The difference between the first few spirit rings may seem small, but the difference becomes bigger and bigger as you go on."

Dugu Yan seemed to be deep in thought.

"It's like how you can't get fat overnight, but if you just eat a little more at each meal, you'll see results over time."

Xuanqing gave a very affirmative nod.

"That's right. The lifespan of a spirit ring isn't determined by a fixed system. As long as you can withstand it, nine thousand years for the first ring is no problem."

Dugu Bo was deeply moved. If he had known all this earlier, he wouldn't have been stuck at the bottleneck for so long back then.

Although it's late now, it's not too late to pave the way for my granddaughter.
