Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 165 — Oh my, buy one get one free?

Under the overwhelming power, Tang Ya's eyes were lifeless, and she had already fallen into the wonderful environment constructed for her by the other side of the dream. Her body instinctively repeated the words that Qian Lingyun had said.

"Oh right, right, as long as you give me your things, everything will be alright," Qian Lingyun grinned, revealing her neat, white teeth, which looked particularly eerie in the darkness.

Suddenly, Qian Lingyun abruptly turned her head, looking strangely at the figure walking gracefully from the depths of the dense forest, and said sarcastically, "After watching for so long, you finally couldn't hold back and came out on your own?"

The newcomer walked to a clearing in the woods, revealing a gentle and beautiful face under the bright moonlight. At this moment, a hint of anger appeared on the woman's pretty face: "How dare you use illusion magic on us Shrek people."

"But you still took a long time to come out, didn't you?" Qian Lingyun smiled slightly, casually knocked Tang Ya unconscious and threw her into the demiplane, staring straight at the newcomer and chuckling, "Contra? What's your name? How old are you?"

"Zhang Lexuan, twenty-four years old."① Zhang Lexuan stared coldly at Qian Lingyun, pointed at her with a finger, and asked impatiently, "Where are you? Aren't you going to state your name?"

"I don't plan to."

Looking at Zhang Lexuan with slight surprise, Qian Lingyun's interest also piqued. She suggested with a smile, "If I beat you, how about you tell me how you cultivated?"

"After all... a Soul Douluo of twenty-three or twenty-four years old is truly a rare sight!"

"Kid, don't think about unrealistic things. You're just a seven-ring Soul Saint, while I'm an eight-ring Soul Douluo. You don't have much of a chance."

As she spoke, eight spirit rings—yellow, purple, black, black, and red—were revealed on Zhang Lexuan's body.

Her first and third spirit rings shone simultaneously. First, a beam of moonlight fell upon her, enveloping her in light. Then, another beam of moonlight shone upon Qian Lingyun.

Amidst the intense buzzing, Qian Lingyun's body trembled slightly, but the level nine soul tool, the Nether Thunder Armor, emitted a purple halo, shielding her from the attack.

"No martial ethics, sneak attack!" Qian Lingyun chuckled, her purple wings on her back suddenly fluttered, and she leaped backward, hovering in mid-air. Four black and three red spirit rings appeared as well.

Four 10,000-year spirit rings and three 100,000-year spirit rings—is this a Spirit Saint?

Zhang Lexuan's pupils contracted slightly when she saw the ridiculously high color of Qian Lingyun's spirit ring.

"Zhang Lexuan, right? I don't think I have no chance. On the contrary, I'm determined to hear your secret today."

Before she finished speaking, Qian Lingyun's second and third soul rings lit up in turn, and figures hidden in the black mist split out, surrounding Zhang Lexuan in the center.

This time, Qian Lingyun did not use her Rakshasa Domain to create an advantage for herself as usual.

After all… Zhang Lexuan wasn't an evil soul master, so the suppression from the Rakshasa Domain wasn't that significant for her, as for the boundless sea of ​​blood…

Oh my god! This is near Shrek City. If we make too much noise, we might get caught by a bunch of old fogies checking our water gauges!

Zhang Lexuan lived up to her reputation as a genius, clasping her hands together in front of her chest. The crescent moon behind her shone brightly, beams of moonlight continuously showering down and repelling Qian Lingyun's several clones.

Both sides are Soul Masters, so the competition boils down to their control of timing.

The moment the clones intersected in mid-air, Zhang Lexuan's fifth soul ring shone brightly, and the crescent moon in the sky suddenly turned golden. In an instant, the crescent moon separated into another crescent moon of the same size, which fell from the sky.

Fifth Soul Skill - Moonfall!

The golden crescent moon now resembled the scythe of death, its light severing trees in the forest, leaving only bare trunks standing starkly in their wake, a desolate sight.

"Heh, let me make this clear beforehand, you cut down these trees, so don't expect me to pay for them!" Qian Lingyun slowly descended, her toes lightly touching the tree trunks, lingering in mid-air, marveling at the mess on the ground.

"You don't need to pay for it!"

Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly, and the eight soul rings on her body flashed one by one. A layer of faint silver mist rose from her feet, covering her body. Under the reflection of the silver mist, she had an even more mysterious beauty.

Even from a great distance, Qian Lingyun could sense that Zhang Lexuan's soul power and aura were increasing at an astonishing rate under the influence of the silver mist. It was as if she was gathering strength.

The crescent moon above her head gradually grew larger, moving towards a full moon. Zhang Lexuan's own beautiful eyes also shone brightly.

Her sixth spirit ring suddenly lit up, and the black spirit ring instantly rose into the air and merged into the full moon.

The full moon changed. The originally silvery-white round moon suddenly became dim, and then it turned completely black, with only a silver halo on the outermost layer.

Immediately afterwards, a silver halo descended from the sky.

Of course, that thing only looks like a halo. Its essence is that the highly compressed soul power makes the power of the soul skill too obscure, making it invisible to the naked eye at night.

"Wow, that's exciting!"

The soul skill arrived in an instant, but Qian Lingyun neither fled nor dodged. She simply stood quietly in place, grabbed her two clones, and threw them at the halo, seemingly using her clones to judge the power of the soul skill.

The two clones, devoid of any soul skills, vanished without a sound in the center of the silver halo…

In an instant, the bright moon in the sky grew larger.

Zhang Lexuan's body turned completely silver-white, and the incandescent light illuminated everything around her. In mid-air, the bright moon expanded at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had exceeded a hundred meters in diameter, encompassing all of Qian Lingyun's clones.

"Moonlight!"

With a sharp cry from Zhang Lexuan, Qian Lingyun felt the surroundings turn into a white haze, and her clone completely lost contact with her within this terrifying expanse of white light. The dazzling light lasted for nearly five seconds before slowly fading away.

"Impressive, is it a trump card combining a secret technique with a self-created soul skill?"

Under the pure white moonlight, a cocoon made of purple wings... no, we should say wings stained with silver-white unfolded layer by layer from the outside in, revealing a calm and beautiful face.

"What a coincidence. Let me introduce this. This is my self-created soul skill, Dark Protection." Qian Lingyun slightly shook her wings, and blazing black flames rose from each of her exquisite wings.

The thick layer of silvery white that had covered the wings faded away as quickly as winter snow meeting the spring sun, leaving only the exquisite and beautiful wings that looked as if they were hand-carved from amethyst.

"A woman? Were you actually faking it just now?"

Zhang Lexuan gazed at the little beauty nestled in the wings, and as if struck by a sudden thought, her eyes turned icy, and she coldly demanded:

"I remember now, I saw you in the stands during the freshman assessment. Your name is Bai Yun, right?"

"Hey! I was actually recognized." Qian Lingyun seemed surprised that Zhang Lexuan, the busy person from the inner courtyard, would actually be there to watch the freshman assessment. She was a little flustered for a moment.

Now that she's been recognized, should she silence her, or silence her?

(Original text 1: On that occasion, twelve inner court disciples faced a 100,000-year-old soul beast after being separated from their master. Eight of the twelve died in battle. But the four who survived were all among the top in the inner court, and one of them even obtained the soul ring and soul bone of that 100,000-year-old soul beast.)

Original text 2: Elder Xuan sighed and said, "Shao Zhe, don't say anymore. Actually, I wanted to resign after that mistake in the Star Dou Great Forest. But Le Xuan knelt there for so long that I couldn't bear to hurt her feelings any further, so I stayed."

Original text 3: My name is Zhang Lexuan, an assistant instructor and student in the Inner Court. My martial soul is the Moon. I am a power-attack type battle soul master. This time, I am responsible for leading and commanding the team, and I do not require any soul rings. My soul power is level 86.
