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

Chapter 381, 451-452—The Uncrowned King of Group Battle Defeats the Limit Douluo

"Oh my! There are so many people! I'm so scared!"

With a delicate, orchid-like gesture, Huanhua's posture among the petals shifted from a lazy, relaxed pose to a serious, upright one.

The branches that had been coiled around the ground also stood up one section at a time.

For some reason, looking at this strange plant that was growing taller and taller, Du Bu Si felt that something bad might be about to happen.

Crack! Crack!

A crisp, melodious sound of new shoots emerging came from the upright stems of the Illusion Flower.

A group of bizarre creatures burrowed through the skin of the Illusion Flower's roots and, guided by the branches, swiftly pounced on the nearest Soul Master!

"Damn it! What the hell is this thing?!"

A powerful individual unleashed their strong soul skill, blasting the ferocious half-creature in front of them into pieces.

But the mutilated creature felt no pain and continued to bravely withstand his attacks, lunging forward and tearing off half of his body.

"These are all the soul beasts I've eaten!" Huanhua covered her lips lightly, chuckling as she drove these powerful soul beasts, now dead and enslaved by her, and said mockingly:

"Don't worry, you'll be going to join them soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a scream came from the dense, net-like branches.

The first Soul Master to be eaten has appeared! His position was not good; he was too close to these puppet Soul Beasts and was instantly surrounded and attacked by seven or eight strange creatures.

The nearby titled Douluo were about to lend him a hand when they were blocked by even more branches.

Therefore, they could only watch helplessly as the powerful Soul Master was torn apart and swallowed by a cross-shaped branch with serrated spikes at the top.

Judging from the constantly writhing bark on the branch, he was still alive, at least alive when he was swallowed…

Glug!

The phantom flower, seated cross-legged in the center of the petals, chewed a few times in the void, slowly swallowed a mouthful of air, and then, with a rosy complexion, pointed to the branch that had swallowed the Soul Master:

"Ta-da! Look, it's back!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention back to that ugly branch!

Crack! Crack!

Another crackling sound rang out as the branches sprouted, and a thin, pale yellow membrane appeared at the cross-shaped tips of the branches.

The membrane gradually expanded into a strange object resembling a flower bud, and then expanded at a high speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, the petals were torn apart by a naked figure, revealing the soul master who had just been swallowed.

Good news, he's back!

Bad news: He only has an upper body left!

The soul master with only his upper body had a blank stare and a dazed expression, as if he were a puppet being driven by the branches below.

It raised its hand and pulled out a bluish-gray longsword, and even the phantom of a spirit ring appeared above its head.

"The people she eats will become puppets that she can manipulate at will?" Poisonous Undying swallowed, a sense of fear creeping into his heart.

No wonder this guy was so unconcerned about calling for people to gang up on her; it turns out... she's the kind of magical creature who gets more excited the more people come.

Above, the white dragon gazed at the exploding, multicolored soul skills below and couldn't help but question Qian Lingyun: "You tame such a dangerous and evil creature, aren't you afraid of playing with fire and getting burned?"

"What do you mean, taming evil creatures? What nonsense are you spouting?" Qian Lingyun was taken aback at first, then let out a melodious laugh. She said:

"She's not an evil creature! She's my powerful, beautiful, and resilient half-body! She's the one I trust most in the world! Because… she and I are one! One heart, two bodies, one will!"

"What, now that you can't do anything to me, you're resorting to verbal sparring?" Qian Lingyun said, wiping the sweat from her forehead and observing the battle below with great interest.

More and more Soul Masters are falling victim to this. Although they haven't been eaten yet, they are already showing signs of fatigue on their faces, and faint bruises are appearing around their eyes—one of the symptoms of chronic poisoning!

From the very beginning, Huanhua had already laid a trap. She first used those ferocious puppet soul beasts to attract most of the soul masters' attention, and then used some tentacles and vines to inflict as little pain as possible on these powerful soul masters.

The accumulated wounds, once exposed to the toxins permeating the air, will gradually weaken the various abilities of a Soul Master.

Perhaps it's occasional muscle twitches, or perhaps it's a slowed reaction time.

When these Soul Masters are weakened to a certain extent, the Illusion Flower will suddenly erupt and devour them with unparalleled power.

"It's obvious you haven't used your full strength yet! Your mind must be elsewhere!" Mu En pondered for a moment, shifting his form in front of Qian Lingyun, and sighed softly, "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"

"Hmm, is my acting really that bad? You even noticed!" Qian Lingyun frowned, chatting with Mu En while speaking in riddles.

"You haven't even revealed your spirit rings yet!" Moon said with a hint of helplessness.

"Well... I'm really sorry, I completely forgot to use my soul skill... Actually, it doesn't really matter whether you use a soul skill or not!"

"Hmm!" Moon nodded solemnly, then added, "Although I may not be your match, if I want to leave, you might not be able to stop me!"

"Oh! Thanks for reminding me!" Qian Lingyun nodded with a forced smile, and replied seriously, "You're absolutely right, so none of them should leave!"

Under Mu En's astonished gaze, Qian Lingyun raised her right hand, thereby condensing a purple ball of light.

Gently crushing the purple ball of light in her hand, Qian Lingyun let out a soft hum and said indifferently, "Barrier of Annihilation!"

The purple ball of light transformed into a nearly transparent film in Qian Lingyun's hand, enveloping the entire battle area.

"You might be able to forcefully create an opening and escape using your cultivation, but they... will all have to stay behind!"

With her back to the massive battle circle behind her, Qian Lingyun tilted her head to dodge the countless soul skills flying around her, and softly hummed a little tune with a rather strange melody.

"I don't have many years left to live. Can I trade my old life for those children?" Mu En looked down at the five Tang Clan members, his gaze grave as he shook his head. He tentatively asked, "I've never begged anyone in my life!"

"Okay!" Qian Lingyun nodded readily. She used her soul power to lift the five people lying haphazardly on the ground. Her dark red eyes darted around, and a wicked idea immediately formed in her mind:

"However, it's impossible to release all four. I should at least leave one behind, otherwise I'll lose face!"

"Should we leave one behind?" Moon made his decision after just one glance!

Beibei is his descendant, Huo Zhongxian and Wang Dong'er are his disciples, and they also happen to be the Shrek Seven Devils of this generation.

After much deliberation, of the four people, only Huo Zhanji could be kept!

After thinking it over, Mu En left Huo Zhan behind in front of the others, who had no teacher and was neither related to him nor anyone else.

"Alright, alright! Let these three go, is that it!" Qian Lingyun nodded slightly, and actually opened a small hole in the barrier of destruction, throwing the three people out.

What Mu En didn't know was that if he chose to let Bei Bei, Huo Zhongxian, and Wang Dong'er stay, out of his promise to Zhang Lexuan and his fear of the God King, she would eventually release them...

But, since we've already made the choice, let's just leave it at that!

After all, she really wanted to pry off the Eye of Fate from Huo Zhan's forehead to repair Shuangyan.

"Now that I've fulfilled my promise, shouldn't you...?"

Before Qian Lingyun could finish speaking, Mu En's soul power surged suddenly.

The increase in soul power was quite astonishing, even Qian Lingyun was taken aback.

"Hahahaha! This is interesting, really interesting. Are you going to fight me to the death?!"

After speaking, Qian Lingyun's smile vanished in an instant. She pulled out bone-piercing steel needles that emitted a golden light from her joints. Her originally steady and balanced soul power became violent and chaotic the moment the last steel needle was removed.

Having slain a full seven figures of sea spirit beasts, every breath she took carried a murderous aura as vast as mountains of corpses and seas of blood. If it weren't for Qian Renxue purifying her murderous aura daily, she would have long since…

It seems... it won't make much difference. This thing won't affect her at all; at most, it will just make her look less attractive.

With a crackling sound, veins like snakes popped out on her cheeks and forehead, and her originally delicate and beautiful face became twisted and ferocious in a few seconds.

She spoke softly in her deep, resonant voice:

"Honestly, it's been a long time since I've fought anyone at full strength! After unleashing my soul power, the rate of improvement in my body and strength is beyond your imagination!"

"Sorry! I'll have to play with you in this ugly form for now!"

"Everyone must die eventually. Today, before I die, let me have a good, satisfying fight with you, one of the strongest warriors of our time!"

A miraculous scene unfolded.

Two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red—nine complete spirit rings slowly appeared on Mu En's body, and an incomparably loud dragon roar suddenly rang out.

A massive golden beam of light suddenly shot into the sky from the center of Moon's body, illuminating half the sky in a dazzling gold.

In the wheelchair, Mu En's originally hunched body slowly straightened up under the golden light, watched by Qian Lingyun, Huanhua, and others. His aged face was becoming younger at an astonishing speed, and even his withered body was gradually becoming fuller.

With a look of pride and joy in his eyes, his body slowly rose from the ground. He raised his right hand and gently beckoned to Qian Lingyun, as if he was ready.

However, Qian Lingyun noticed that his gaze ultimately remained on the three members of the Tang Clan who were fleeing into the distance outside the barrier of destruction.

Although no sound can escape through this barrier, light can.

The golden light in the sky grew stronger and stronger, and Moon's appearance became younger and younger, gradually transforming from an old man into a young man.

It has to be admitted that this old guy was quite handsome when he was young, no wonder he was Ye Xishui's backup boyfriend when she was younger...

The outward-radiating golden light gradually receded, and the clouds in the sky gradually dispersed. The dazzling sunlight shone on Moon's body, seemingly gilding it with a layer of gold.

In just a few breaths, Moon had turned completely golden, and golden dragon scales began to grow from under his skin, quickly covering his entire body.

His arms were raised one in front of the other on either side of his body, and the intense golden light in the air successively turned reddish gold, orange gold, golden gold, green gold, cyan gold, blue gold and purple gold.

The moment the last purplish-gold turned into platinum, he laughed heartily, followed by an incredibly resounding dragon roar. With a flick of his body, he transformed into a white dragon radiating intense golden light.

Even from a hundred miles away, it was clear that a huge white dragon had appeared within the Barrier of Annihilation, and the entire sky darkened at that moment.

Loud dragon roars echoed through the air, and the intense golden light made him feel as if he were swimming in a golden ocean.

"A boundless sea of ​​blood!"

Since it was a life-or-death battle at the Limit Douluo level, there was no need to hold back any longer, and both sides unleashed their most powerful and secret techniques.

Qian Lingyun sneered, and her eyes blazed with blood-red light. In an instant, her long hair turned completely blood-red.

She let out a long cry, and twenty-one vengeful spirits with animal heads the size of basketballs burst out from behind her, then suddenly surged into her body and merged with her.

Instantly, the murderous aura emanating from Qian Lingyun intensified, and the crystal-clear blood color made her look like a ruby. The terrifying blood energy surged and boiled outwards like waves.

Even the dazzling sunlight dimmed instantly the moment it touched the sea of ​​blood.

This sea of ​​blood, as vast as the sky, surged and coiled towards the white dragon circling in the sky.

As expected of top-tier evil soul masters equivalent to Limit Douluo, and as expected of the two most powerful evil soul masters in the Holy Spirit Cult at present.

Even facing the full-scale counterattack of another Limit Douluo, she can still be confident of victory!

The intense light emitted when blood and white light collided was so dazzling that even the midday sun could not rival it.

The Huanhua and Soul Master experts, who had just been fighting to the death, stopped their battle in perfect unison and began to admire the once-in-a-century ultimate battle.

The blinding flash of light lasted for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. As the blood light completely extinguished the white light inside, everyone saw a golden white dragon just poke its head out of the sea of ​​blood, only to be instantly swallowed back by the sea of ​​blood.

After that, they couldn't see anything anymore!

Amidst the sea of ​​blood, Mu En slowly opened his eyes. His previously dull, yellowish eyes had become incredibly clear, turning a deep blue, like the depths of an endless ocean: "I lost!"

"Obviously, yes!" Qian Lingyun smiled noncommittally, grimacing as she reached out to touch the wound on her back.

Five of the twenty-one blood souls I painstakingly raised were destroyed in the battle just now.

Although the injury was not painful or itchy, the violent repulsive reaction between the light attribute soul power that invaded the body and the original soul power was really troublesome.
