Douluo Continent: The Butterfly, Starting from the Authority of Death

"Do I even have a choice?"

Zhang Peng's voice was bitter, and his expression was full of sorrow.

"Why isn't it there?"

Xia Die smiled slightly. "Haven't you made your choice?"

"for example……"

Xia Die snapped her fingers.

The flowers in the flower field swayed gently, and several spaces began to distort.

Butterflies fluttered and danced, and in the distorted space, the previously hidden entities revealed themselves.

No more, no less, twelve soul beasts.

The butterflies that flew out of the Butterfly Flower Field used a circling motion to restrain the twelve soul beasts that were just one step away from leaving the sea of ​​flowers.

"Your Excellency, you are not being honest." Xia Die tilted her head. "However, I am willing to give you another chance."

"How did you find out?"

Zhang Peng's face turned ashen; his twelve beasts could be used as another way for him to shed his skin.

His composure just now was to reassure the girl in front of him. He planned to use the beast tamer to leave the domain, and then temporarily merge into the beast's soul using a soul skill, so that he could leave safely.

As for fighting, Zhang Peng never even considered it. With Wang Xian'er at level 97 and a girl of unknown strength, he would have no chance of survival if he had less than 20% of his strength.

Unexpectedly, the opponent still noticed my use of the eighth soul skill in secret.

With just this sea of ​​flowers, he imprisoned twelve spirit beasts comparable to Soul Douluo in one fell swoop. These were the twelve beast tamers he had carefully selected.

"You underestimate me."

A soft, melodious voice rang out, "The sea of ​​flowers belongs to me. Isn't it normal that you're trapped within it and can't escape?"

"Miss Xia Die, you know that's not what I'm asking about," Zhang Peng pressed.

These soul beasts are at least at the Soul Douluo level, while the one in front of us is only a Great Soul Master. Even if he has the ultimate attributes, he shouldn't be this strong.

"Your Excellency," Xia Die sighed, "should I say you're clever, or that you're a fool?"

"You guessed that the crack in the sky was caused by me, so why do you think I didn't stop your escape plan?"

"I control the realm of death, and your soul beast's soul is not truly loyal to you."

Zhang Peng remained silent, while Xia Die's voice was deafening.

Which evil spirit master collects souls, and those souls will obediently submit, just like a powerful brick flying through the air.

"May the vengeful spirits who are still alive find peace." Xia Die's voice echoed through the sea of ​​flowers.

The butterflies in the sea of ​​flowers danced in the realm of the mythical butterfly, guiding the twelve beast souls with a special frequency.

The twelve summoned soul beasts broke free from the shackles of their martial souls.

They looked at the butterfly with gratitude, and then transformed into specks of light that drifted across the heavens and earth.

"My power!"

Zhang Peng's expression suddenly changed, and the twelve beast envoys he had carefully selected disappeared.

"Your Excellency, what will you choose?" Xia Die looked at the other person, not in a hurry at all.

Twelve Contra-level beast wielders could indeed inflict a devastating blow on Xia Die.

However, standing next to her was Wang Xian'er, who was level 97. Under the coverage of the domain, it was similar to a team scene.

The Butterfly can absorb the soul power of the other party with their consent and store it in the sea of ​​flowers to use as a battery.

The power she originally stored in the sea of ​​flowers belonged to the great battle in Xingluo City. Now, with the addition of Wang Xian'er's soul power, she was able to suppress the twelve beast envoys who were only left with resentment.

"Are you still going to struggle?" Xia Die snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Zhang Peng.

Wang Xian'er stood to the side, quietly watching this scene. She had also noticed that Zhang Peng had just released his beast tamer in an attempt to escape the domain.

I don't know much about death attributes, but he is still a level 97 Title Douluo. It would be too low of him not to be able to see that the opponent is preparing to escape.

Not everyone is like that Elder Xuan from Shrek Academy, who can cause a group of students to die while leading a team out.

"Zhang Peng, it's only ten years. Isn't your life worth ten years of service?"

Wang Xian'er spoke up at the opportune moment.

She didn't understand why Xia Die would try to win over Zhang Peng; was it simply because Zhang Peng kept his promises?

However, since Xia Die was going to do it, she would assist her from the side.

"Your Excellency, the Immortal Physician, we are not in a hurry."

Xia Die's eyes were deep and unfathomable as she sized up Zhang Peng, who remained silent. She blurted out, "Sir, the more you struggle, the more excited I become... uh."

"Sorry, I accidentally brought up a character from a storybook." Xia Die coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment.

"You didn't hear me, try again."

Xia Die spoke with righteous indignation, her expression conveying the message that as long as she wasn't embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed.

This interruption eased the tense atmosphere considerably.

"You've won. Now, place the restriction on me!"

Zhang Peng sighed deeply. His escape plan had failed, and he had no other choice.

Knowing so much about the other party, you either have to die or serve them.

Just like Wang Xian'er said, it's only ten years. Just grit your teeth and stomp your feet and it will pass.

"I hope you keep your word." Zhang Peng looked at Xia Die, his voice sounding helpless.

"That's only natural."

Xia Die nodded and walked towards Zhang Peng.

Wang Xian'er's expression tightened, and she unconsciously locked her martial spirit and mental power onto Zhang Peng, fearing that he might make another move.

Xia Die stretched out her fair palm and gently placed it on Zhang Peng's forehead.

"Relax your mind." The voice drifted gently into Zhang Peng's ear.

Zhang Peng did not resist. The moment his spiritual power touched Xia Die, his sea of ​​consciousness trembled violently, his body stiffened, and the focus of his pupils rapidly increased.

"You, you..."

Zhang Peng stared blankly, and didn't react until Xia Die removed her hand from his forehead.

"I have marked you."

Xia Die took two steps back, clasped her hands together in front of her, and paused in her voice.

"Ten years from now, I will set you free."

The gentle voice echoed, and Zhang Peng's thoughts returned to his body. His voice trembled as he asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Feeling a sense of spiritual constraint, Zhang Peng realized that he was indeed under a restriction, and he couldn't reveal much information about Xia Die.

But what Zhang Peng couldn't understand the most was not the restriction, but the contact between their mental energies.

Vast, boundless... stable.

Compared to his opponent, his level 96 mental strength was like a drop of water falling into the ocean, unable to create even the slightest ripple.

Even Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult and a level 98 peak Douluo, did not give him this irresistible feeling.

The strength of one's mental power is closely related to one's physical body and soul power; however strong one's mental power is, there are certain limits.

Once this limit is exceeded, the body will disintegrate and the soul power will dissipate.

But what about the butterfly in front of me?

Her mental strength is far inferior to that of a Great Soul Master, let alone a peak Douluo.

At this moment, a sentence kept echoing in Zhang Peng's mind: "If you don't cultivate, you will see me like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky; if you cultivate, you will see me like a mayfly looking at the blue sky."

Zhang Peng's body stiffened, his lips trembled slightly, and a mechanical voice rang out:

"What...what exactly are you?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Die raised an eyebrow, her voice carrying a hint of danger: "Your Excellency, your words are quite presumptuous!"
