Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 266 Super Tonic

The Third Elder gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "Very well, at the Soul King level, I am willing to call you the strongest."

When Ji Lin heard the Third Elder's words, he almost lost his composure. Goodness, why does that sound so familiar?

In the next instant, the Third Elder's body surged with lightning, and a purplish-black lightning dragon enveloped him as it charged toward Ji Lin.

The Third Elder's title is Nether Thunder, Nether Thunder Douluo, and he is also a Level 9 Soul Master. He combines the abilities of his Martial Soul with his self-developed Soul Tools, possessing a unique set of combat abilities. Through the Soul Tools, he amplifies the power of his Soul Skills. All his attacks contain the power of Nether Thunder, which, in addition to possessing extremely strong lightning attributes, also has a trace of sinister energy. This sinister energy can only be absorbed in piles of corpses. Therefore, the more dead people are in the area, the stronger the Third Elder becomes.

Just as the Third Elder was about to rush towards Ji Lin, a crimson figure appeared beside the thunder dragon that the Third Elder had transformed into. The next moment, the crimson figure kicked the Third Elder's true form within the thunder dragon. The change came too suddenly, and the Third Elder was shocked. The crimson figure gave him an almost suffocating sense of oppression, making him feel as if he were facing death. His long-dead parents seemed to be beckoning to him.

He subconsciously activated another level-nine soul tool and an invincible shield, providing double protection.

Amidst the deafening roar, his level nine soul-guided shield was torn apart, and the invincible shield, flashing with golden light, shattered the next moment as well.

The Third Elder was kicked by the crimson figure, as if struck by a powerful force, instantly losing his balance. His body traced a long arc through the air, flying backward like a thrown boulder. The surrounding air seemed to be torn apart by the kick, emitting a sharp whistling sound. The Third Elder's figure tumbled in the air, his robes fluttering like a tattered flag. His gaze swept rapidly across the sky, seeing the ground below getting closer and closer. A strong sense of unease surged within him; he wanted to struggle, but his body seemed bound by an invisible force, unable to move. Finally, he crashed heavily to the ground, dust flying everywhere. His body slid a distance on the ground before stopping with a muffled groan. He felt as if his internal organs were shattered, the pain unbearable.

The Third Elder struggled to stand, but his body seemed to be suppressed by an immense force, rendering him unable to move. He felt his strength rapidly draining away. He looked up at the crimson figure in the air, his eyes filled with fear and despair. He knew he had been defeated, utterly and tragically defeated.

He was only kicked once, but he already knew he was going to die. His internal organs were shattered, and his bones were crushed. Even a god couldn't save him.

Looking at the white-haired, crimson-eyed figure in the air, resembling a celestial being descended to earth, the Third Elder gave a bitter smile and said, "Limit Douluo?! I'm truly lucky! It's just a trivial mission, yet I've encountered a Limit Douluo. I should have expected this. With that kid's talent and potential, how could he not be secretly protecting him? Knowing I was here, he still dared to come to rescue me. How could he not be prepared? I should have realized it the moment the soul-guided detector malfunctioned. Was I too arrogant?"

Ji Lin approached the Third Elder and whispered, "You were just unlucky."

The moment the battle ended, Ye Guyi, Meng Hongchen, and the others flew towards this direction.

Nan Shuishui, who had just gotten off Nan Qiuqiu's back, looked at the Third Elder lying on the ground, barely alive, with a trace of guilt in her eyes. If it weren't for her, the Third Elder wouldn't have fallen into becoming an evil soul master, nor would he have lost his masculine symbol.

He wouldn't have ended up like this; he had a bright future ahead of him, but unfortunately, he fell in love with the wrong person.

Nan Shuishui closed her eyes and whispered to the Third Elder, "I'm sorry, in the next life I won't fall in love with someone I shouldn't have."

The Third Elder looked at Nan Shuishui with blurred vision and murmured, "I don't regret falling in love with you, but if only you had chosen me back then!"

The Third Elder's breathing gradually weakened, his life force like a candle flickering in the wind.

"Mother."

Nan Qiuqiu hugged Nan Shuishui, trying to comfort her mother.

Nan Shuishui chuckled and patted Nan Qiuqiu's head. After this incident, her daughter had become more sensible. She wasn't actually too sad, just a little guilty. In the end, it was because of her that the Third Elder became an evil soul master. But she didn't regret it. Even if she had to choose again, she would still choose Nan Qiuqiu's father, because she had never loved the Third Elder.

Ji Lin looked at the Third Elder, who was barely clinging to life, and shook his head slightly. This is what a simp is like; in the end, he gets nothing.

If it were Ji Lin, even if the person he likes doesn't like him back, he wouldn't give up easily. He would even snatch her away if necessary. They say that forced love is never sweet, but if you haven't tried it, who knows if it's sweet or not?

Ji Lin patted Ye Guyi on the shoulder and said to her, "It's up to you now."

For Ye Guyi, a Title Douluo-level evil soul master is like a super tonic.

Nan Shuishui turned away, no longer looking at the Third Elder. After all, he was someone who had loved her, and she couldn't bear to see his final fate.

She only felt a dazzling platinum-gold light shining behind her, and she could vaguely hear chanting and sacred hymns.

Under the holy light, the Third Elder vanished into white light, while Ye Guyi felt a surge of powerful soul force within her body. Her soul force level rose steadily and soon broke through to level sixty-four.

Keep in mind that she had only recently broken through to the Soul Emperor level. Killing dozens of evil soul masters had only allowed her to level up once, but killing the Third Elder had directly allowed her to level up twice. This is the true value of a Title Douluo. It should be noted that the Sacred Angel Martial Soul is considered an ultimate attribute, and its cultivation is also slow before level 70.

The Third Elder is dead, the Holy Spirit Cult branch has been destroyed, and Nan Shuishui and the others have been rescued. Next is Nana's matter, but they need to return to Dragon City first.

Ji Lin and the others returned to the Rose Hotel in Dragon City. Nan Qiuqiu and Nan Shuishui were going back to the Earth Dragon Gate to appease the elders, and they also needed to inform the Heavenly Dragon Gate. They would be very busy these next two days.

Meng Hongchen was out of sorts and preoccupied with her thoughts. Upon returning to the Rose Hotel, she locked herself in her room.

Ji Lin then asked Chi Yuan to take Nana to the Sun Moon Empire to retrieve the souls of Nana's parents and have Ye Guyi purify the impurities in their souls so that they could be freed.

At Chi Yuan's speed, taking Nana to the Sun Moon Empire and back to Dragon City would take only a little over a day.

If Nana didn't need to lead the way, Chi Yuan would be faster on her own.
