Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 371 Backstabbing a Teammate

Zhou Xinghao, who had transformed into a fortress, searched everywhere for Wang Dong'er's whereabouts. However, after completing a 360-degree rotation, he still couldn't find her. He subconsciously looked up at the sky, but she wasn't there either!

"I love shooting at clumsy targets like you the most," Wang Dong'er's voice came from behind Zhou Xinghao.

Zhou Xinghao's face turned red. Although he couldn't see Wang Dong'er, he knew what was going on. The audience below the stage could see it even more clearly. Wang Dong'er was always behind Zhou Xinghao. The attack range of the soul-guided turret was only aimed at a 180-degree area in front. Because it could rotate, there were naturally no heavy cannons behind it. Wang Dong'er took advantage of this weakness. When the soul-guided turret spun, her figure followed Zhou Xinghao's soul-guided turret like a ghost, but she was not in a hurry to attack.

Using the footwork she learned from Chi Yuan at the Zizai Sect, Wang Dong'er completely outmaneuvered Zhou Xinghao. Zhou Xinghao now had an invincible shield and a soul guide shield, so she wasn't foolish enough to attack when he was fully armed. It was better to wait for Zhou Xinghao to exhaust his soul power.

It's important to know that both the Invincible Shield and the Soul Guidance Shield consume Soul Power when activated. Coupled with the Soul Guidance Turret on Zhou Xinghao's body, he won't be able to hold out for long.

It's not Wang Dong'er who should be anxious.

Cold sweat instantly streamed down Zhou Xinghao's forehead, but the fact that he was able to represent the Sun and Moon team here meant he had exceptional abilities.

He also has ways to deal with this situation.

At the top of the porcupine-like soul-guided turret, just slightly behind his neck, a ball of silver light suddenly rose up and then exploded instantly above his head.

It was clear that a silver wave of energy burst outwards in an instant.

Wang Dong'er, who was originally close to the protective barrier behind him, was suddenly pushed away by a huge force. With a look of surprise on her pretty face, she spread her wings to counteract the powerful push.

Zhou Xinghao released a shockwave grenade, a special type of soul tool that is also used for attack. It generates powerful shockwaves within a certain range to destroy enemies. At this moment, Zhou Xinghao's actions clearly indicated that he was using the shockwave grenade to indiscriminately attack himself and Wang Dong'er, thereby achieving the goal of driving Wang Dong'er away from him.

This is precisely the kind of approach that inflicts heavy losses on both sides, while harming the enemy by a thousand.

However, Zhou Xinghao's invincible shield was still in effect. Although it consumed a lot of soul power, he finally found an opportunity, turned around, and locked onto Wang Dong'er's figure.

Almost simultaneously, the hundreds of cannons on his body spewed out blinding tongues of fire. At this moment, he was no longer a hedgehog, but a terrifying metal storm meat grinder.

Various soul-guided rays and soul-guided projectiles, including but not limited to high-explosive shells, fiery shells, decomposition rays, paralyzing rays, freezing rays, shock bombs, and explosive shells, instantly covered an area with a diameter of twenty meters centered on Wang Dong'er's body.

The sudden burst of metal storm was just like Zhou Xinghao's mood at this moment; the anger of being teased by Wang Dong'er erupted completely at this instant.

At such close range, and given that Wang Dong'er is not known for her defense, once she is caught in his all-out attack, it will be extremely difficult for her to break free.

However, facing the metal storm, Wang Dong'er smiled slyly again, a ring on her finger glowed faintly, and the next moment, just as the metal storm was about to tear her apart, she disappeared...

Yes, it disappeared without any warning.

"Clang!"

Wang Dong'er's figure reappeared behind Zhou Xinghao, and a winged guillotine slashed at Zhou Xinghao's back. The sharp light aura surged powerfully into the soul-guided cannon platform, and the entire base shook because of this attack.

"Instant teleportation!?" Zhou Xinghao was dumbfounded again. The dazzling blue and gold wings slammed into the soul-guided cannon platform. Without the invincible shield, no matter how sturdy the metal of the soul-guided cannon platform was, it was just a drop in the ocean to withstand the attack of a Soul Emperor!

The Free Gate is not a traditional Soul Master sect and rejects Soul Tools. To be on the safe side, Ji Lin spent a lot of money and used Meng Hongchen's channels to equip Wang Dong'er and the others with a variety of life-saving Soul Tools, of course, the teleportation ring being one of them.

Below the stage, Xiao Hongchen was full of doubt. Where did Wang Dong'er get the teleportation ring and the previous propulsion soul tool? You know, teleportation rings are extremely rare, and only the Sun Moon Empire has the ability to make them.

Meng Hongchen, standing beside him, glanced furtively at Xiao Hongchen before lowering her head guiltily.

This could be described as her betraying her own teammate.

Zhou Xinghao still tried to struggle and frantically spun around to attack, but Wang Dong'er's footwork, which she had learned from Chi Yuan, was very exquisite. She stuck to Zhou Xinghao's back and her wings were like two large guillotines, constantly slashing out.

Metal fragments poured out continuously, and powerful soul tools were being destroyed at a rapid pace.

Zhou Xinghao wanted to activate the invincible shield again and then use the shockwave to find another opportunity. However, Wang Dong'er's instantaneous teleportation just now made him unable to even muster his confidence! What would be the point of doing it again? She could get away with a single instantaneous teleportation.

Zhou Xinghao realized that his biggest mistake was letting Wang Dong'er get close to him; otherwise, her teleportation had a distance limit! The Soul Guidance Turret was simply not suitable for dealing with an opponent like her.

In the end, Zhou Xinghao's soul tool was dismantled by Wang Dong'er, leaving him with no choice but to surrender and admit defeat.

Having won two consecutive matches, Wang Dong'er was in good form. Although she had used a soul tool and soul skills, which had consumed a lot of soul power, she still had a milk bottle to restore her soul power. She secretly took a few extra sips when the Sun Moon team was making substitutions.

She didn't get to participate in the last competition very often, and she was very envious of Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er's amazing performances on the stage. She had waited five years for this moment, and she was determined to have a good time.

The third player to enter the Sun and Moon team was a Soul Master named Xiao Ping. After going through the process again, both sides retreated towards the edge of their respective match stage.

Reaching the edge of the competition platform, Wang Dong'er turned around, put her hands on her hips, and looked at the other side with a leisurely air.

On the other side, Xiao Ping's eyes were sharp, like a leopard poised to pounce.

With his right hand raised high, the referee looked at both sides before suddenly lowering it to announce the start of the match.

The moment the referee waved his hand, Xiao Ping moved. His soul-guided thrusters suddenly lit up, just like when Wang Dong'er approached Zhou Xinghao earlier. He rushed towards Wang Dong'er like lightning.

That's right, he is a melee soul master, and Xiao Hongchen specially arranged for him to go head-to-head with Wang Dong'er.

Although losing this match wouldn't matter, their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team represents the face of the Sun Moon Empire, and losing too badly wouldn't be good.

As his body charged forward, Xiao Ping held a long spear in his hand. The spear had sharp points at both ends, and as he charged forward, it began to shine brightly. Three of his soul rings lit up alternately, causing his soul power to surge.

Wang Dong'er unfurled her blue-gold wings and charged towards Xiao Ping, unafraid of a head-on confrontation.

Wang Dong'er's fourth soul ring shone, and a six-pointed star array enveloped Xiao Ping. Her fourth soul skill, the six-pointed star array, released a light element array to bind the enemy and consume his soul power.

Xiao Ping remained calm. Facing the oncoming six-pointed star formation, a burst of white light suddenly shone from his chest, abruptly halting his forward momentum. A powerful surge of soul energy then emanated from his entire body. As his armor clanged against his skin, he was propelled backward.

Using this momentum, he evaded Wang Dong'er's six-pointed star formation.

Don't underestimate this forward and reverse motion. When you're rushing forward at high speed, the sudden reversal can create an impact that most people can't withstand.

This also shows that Xiao Ping has good physical fitness.

Wang Dong'er was not just a melee Soul Master. Facing Xiao Ping, who was clearly a melee Soul Master, Wang Dong'er spread her wings, and golden orbs of light rained down on Xiao Ping.

The golden sphere exploded as it approached Xiao Ping, and the shockwave made Xiao Ping dizzy.

However, he also displayed his strength. At least a dozen points on his palms, feet, legs, and back emitted the light of soul-guided propulsion devices. These soul-guided propulsion devices of varying sizes, combined with the flight soul-guided device that opened on his back, allowed him to control his body and fly diagonally in an instant. He soared into the air at an incredibly fast speed, avoiding the light of the Butterfly God, and at the same time, he rapidly approached Wang Dong'er. He pointed his spear forward, and a dazzling white light shot out from the tip of the spear, heading straight for Wang Dong'er.

Although Wang Dong'er loved to play, she was also very clever. She had been observing Xiao Ping. All of Xiao Ping's soul-guided propulsion devices were hidden in that suit of armor. The armor only covered some of his most important parts and was not a full-body suit of armor, but it made him more agile. Now that he was in the air, his agility was even more apparent. With those numerous soul-guided propulsion devices, he could make some movements that defied the laws of nature.

Wang Dong'er flapped her wings to avoid the soul-guided rays shot towards her. Floating in mid-air, Wang Dong'er released 108 golden slashes from her wings. These 108 slashes combined into a huge slash of light in front of Wang Dong'er, directly striking Xiao Ping.

Although Wang Dong'er's Butterfly God Slash could not lock onto Xiao Ping, the slash was incredibly powerful, and Xiao Ping would have a hard time dodging it.

Xiao Ping was startled. Although he was fast, the golden slash was too fast, too huge, and had a wide attack range. He had no time to dodge.

Left with no other choice, Xiao Ping pointed his spear forward, and all his armor lit up, beams of light converging into a pure white shield that protected him.

Level 7 Soul Guidance Shield.
