Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 264 Advantages and Disadvantages

Nan Shuishui then realized what was happening and whispered, "Let's go quickly."

Being able to leave this place is of course the best thing. She thought she would be imprisoned for life. Unexpectedly, her daughter brought people to rescue her in just a few days. When did her willful, capricious and mischievous daughter become so reliable?

Nan Qiuqiu bent down and carried Nan Shuishui on her back. Nan Shuishui had no soul power and was just an ordinary person. Without someone to take her with her, she had no way to leave the cave.

Stepping out of the cave and seeing the disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect, Nan Qiuqiu exclaimed with delight, "Xiao Ye, Xu Shenshu, Feng Shen, you're all alright! That's wonderful!"

Xiao Ye and the others were also extremely excited. "Big Sister, we knew you would come to save us!"

Seeing that everyone had been rescued, Ji Lin said, "Let's leave first. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we get back to Dragon City."

As soon as Ji Lin finished speaking, an old voice rang out, "You want to leave? None of you will be leaving."

A large net descended from the sky, transforming into a white light curtain that obscured the sky above everyone's heads. A figure then appeared outside the light curtain.

Upon seeing this person, Nan Shuishui, who was standing behind Nan Qiuqiu, was suddenly startled.

Standing outside the light barrier, looking down at them, was none other than the Third Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, the same old lover who had imprisoned Nan Shuishui.

He actually returned to this branch headquarters at the last minute.

The Third Elder glanced at Nan Shuishui, then turned his gaze to Ji Lin. He recognized Ji Lin as the leader among the crowd. He clapped his hands lightly. "Impressive skills. To actually manage to wipe out a branch of my Holy Sect. You few little ants dared to come and rescue people. And you even succeeded. I have to admire you. At your age, I was still a naive youth. If I had even half of your skill, I wouldn't have let someone steal my beloved." As he finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Nan Shuishui.

Then he looked at Nana, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. "I remember you. You were one of the holy servants I brought from the Sun Moon Empire. How dare you betray the Holy Church? You should know the consequences of betraying the Holy Church. Are you prepared?"

Although Nana was pale, she was not frightened by the Third Elder. She believed that Ji Lin must have a backup plan, otherwise he would not have dared to come to rescue people even though he knew that there was a Title Douluo-level evil soul master here.

Nan Shuishui's expression was complicated. She was just about to ask the Third Elder to let Ji Lin and the others go.

Ji Lin spoke first, saying, "I didn't expect you to come back at the last minute. I really don't know if it's our bad luck or your bad luck."

The Third Elder's face darkened. He knew that since Ji Lin and the others dared to come to rescue people, they must have a way to deal with him. After all, Nan Qiuqiu knew of his existence. However, he did not sense the aura of a Title Douluo nearby. Although that old Heavenly Dragon was powerful, the detection-type soul tools he had set up around him should be able to detect any Title Douluo hiding nearby. Even a Super Douluo could not hide in front of a bunch of detection soul tools unless he was a Limit Douluo. But how could that be? Apart from their Holy Spirit Cult, only Shrek Academy's Dragon God Douluo Mu En was a Limit Douluo. It couldn't be that Mu En came in person, could it? What a joke.

There were no other Title Douluos nearby, and in the eyes of the Third Elder, Ji Lin and the others below were just a group of Soul Emperor and Soul King level little guys who posed no threat at all. The only one who could resist, Nan Shuishui, was unable to use her soul power because she had taken Soul Extinction Powder. It was really hard to know where they got their confidence.

Ji Lin had no intention of wasting words with the Third Elder. The Heavenly Fire Judgment appeared in his hand, and the next moment, five spirit rings—one yellow, two purple, one black, and one red—rose from beneath his feet. At the same time, the first, fourth, and fifth spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

The clouds churned, instantly turning a fiery red. Then, a dazzling beam of light ripped through the sky, piercing the center of the valley below. The light was so intense that the surrounding air began to distort. With the arrival of the light, a colossal flaming sword appeared above the valley. It soared into the clouds, its blade gleaming with crimson light, seemingly containing the power to destroy everything. The blade was incredibly sharp, as if it could tear through space itself, freezing time in its tracks.

Ji Lin simultaneously used his first soul skill, Residual Fire, his fourth soul skill, Heavenly Fire Holy Flame, and his fifth soul skill, the Blazing King Sword. The Third Elder didn't have time to be shocked by the 100,000-year soul ring on Ji Lin's body, because the Blazing King Sword in the sky had already locked onto him.

The Third Elder felt an invisible pressure surrounding his heart. Facing the fierce hundred-meter-long flaming sword, the Third Elder's body erupted with black lightning. He waved his hand and threw out a soul tool, which transformed into a lightning net in the air to meet the Flame King Sword.

"Boom—"

The Blazing King Sword pierced through the lightning net with overwhelming force, striking the white light screen above. With a "crack" sound, cracks gradually appeared on the white light screen, and finally it shattered completely, turning into fragments that fell from the sky.

The barrier overhead shattered, and Ji Lin and the others instantly activated their flying soul tools, taking the Earth Dragon Sect disciples into the sky.

Ling Luochen, Meng Hongchen, and Ye Guyi quickly left the valley with Nan Qiuqiu, Nan Shuishui, and several disciples of the Earth Dragon Gate, while Ji Lin remained alone to confront the Third Elder.

The Third Elder did not intervene, for Ji Lin's attack with the Flame King Sword had not only shattered two of his soul tools, but the remaining power also ravaged the valley, obliterating all rocks, trees, and creatures within. Flames and dust filled the air, blotting out the sun and obscuring the path ahead. After the explosion, the valley was a scene of utter devastation, the courtyard once built by the evil soul master completely destroyed. Only scorched earth and ruins remained, testifying to the immense power of the Flame King Sword. The Flame King Sword had brought endless destruction and death to this valley.

The Third Elder stared at Ji Lin with a gloomy expression. Although those two soul tools were not level nine soul tools, they were still level eight soul tools, yet they were shattered by a Soul King. Even if this Soul King used a 100,000-year soul skill, the power was still too exaggerated. The hundred-meter flame sword just now, in terms of destructive power alone, was no less than the full-force attack of an ordinary Title Douluo. The only drawback was that it was too slow. Although it could lock onto the enemy and use its aura to suppress the enemy so that they could not move, it also left the enemy enough time to react. As long as they could break free from the pressure of the aura, they could dodge this sword.

Although this sword strike is extremely destructive and has a wide range, as long as it is not taken head-on, it is merely an aftershock, and even a Soul Saint can save his life.

Ji Lin didn't let Chi Yuan directly eliminate the Third Elder because he wanted to see just how strong he was now.
