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

Chapter 45 - I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it!

At the same time, sensing the anomaly, Xiao Xiao activated her Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron martial soul. A flash of black light, and the cauldron descended from the sky, landing on the ground with a loud thud. Xiao Xiao's first soul ring also lit up—the Cauldron Tremor!

"Huh?" Qian Lingyun let out a soft exclamation, and dodged the attack range of the cauldron at the same time as she activated her soul skill.

The cauldron missed its target, and Xiao Xiao's expression turned serious.

Since the start of the round-robin tournament, Qian Lingyun has been arguably the fastest opponent she has ever faced.

Even the top-tier agility-type battle spirit masters at the three-ring Soul Master level probably wouldn't have much speed.

"How dare you! I haven't even bothered you yet, and you dare to mess with me?" After landing smoothly, Qian Lingyun tidied her messy hair and shook her head in dissatisfaction. "Looks like you need a little help!"

After speaking, Qian Lingyun's second and third soul skills flashed simultaneously, and two clones leaped up from her shadow, paused in mid-air for a moment, and then rushed straight towards Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.

Her true form was already enveloped in dense black mist. With the speed boost from this soul skill, she crossed the distance between the two of them in the blink of an eye and arrived in front of Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao's eyes narrowed, and she raised her hands in front of her. Her demeanor suddenly changed, and a touch of gentleness appeared on her face. Immediately afterward, the two yellow soul rings on her body suddenly merged into one, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron floated above her head, and a jade-green flute appeared in her hand.

This jade flute is very long, with lifelike phoenix reliefs on it. Compared to the steadiness of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, holding this flute gives it a more ethereal and fairy-like beauty.

The spirit ring lit up quietly, and a faint melody began to play. The melody wasn't particularly melodious, but it had a viscous quality. A layer of emerald green light then spread outward from Xiao Xiao's body.

"Twin Martial Souls!" Almost everyone who watched the match exclaimed in unison.

Only Qian Lingyun scoffed from within the black mist, "Even if you slow me down, do you think you can stop me? How naive."

"Of course not, but my cauldron can!" Xiao Xiao smiled, and the pitch-black Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was summoned back by her and smashed down from mid-air.

"burst!"

Xiao Xiao's confident smile froze on her face before it even lasted a second, thanks to Qian Lingyun's loud shout.

When Qian Lingyun's right arm scythe touched the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, it actually disintegrated automatically, and at the moment of disintegration, it burst out with terrifying energy.

In that surging surge of energy, the immense explosive force shattered Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron almost instantly. Without any added soul skills, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was utterly powerless to withstand the destructive force of the divine equipment's autonomous explosion.

Martial Soul is the foundation of any Soul Master. The moment the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron shattered, Xiao Xiao felt as if she had been hit by a giant hammer.

A mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth, and his forward-moving body collapsed. Blood spilled from his seven orifices. He had fallen into a deep coma.

The referee belatedly realized what was happening and hurriedly sent Xiao Xiao off the field. Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at the expressionless Qian Lingyun.

"Why are you looking at me? She's too weak! How could I have imagined she'd pull this on me!"

After saying that, Qian Lingyun ignored the proctor's helpless expression, shook her aching right arm, and walked straight toward the black wall of fire.

Explosive Scythe is the only active skill of Death Scythe.

Using this soul skill will cause the arms to explode in death, but it can unleash power far exceeding one's cultivation level. If Qian Lingyun were to release the poison within at the same time, the feeling would be... well, you know!

Of course, as an arm bone with the ability to attach to external spirit bones, it also has certain repair properties like other external spirit bones. Although the repair time is relatively long, it can indeed grow back on its own.

Without any hindrance, Qian Lingyun crossed the raging black wall of fire, waved her hand to dismiss her clone, and looked at the panting Wang Dong, she said curiously, "Huh, I always thought you must have some skill to dare to bet with me, but you can't even beat a clone of mine at 70% strength."

"Just as useless as that girl next to me with twin martial souls."

"What did you do to Xiao Xiao?!" Wang Dong roared angrily.

"It's nothing much. She looked pretty tired, so I just took her to a hospital bed to rest for a few days! Anyway... you can't win, so it's good for her to rest for a few days!"

With that, Qian Lingyun shook her head in disappointment and raised her hand to remove the fire wall behind her.

As the wall of fire dissipated, Wang Dong'er saw the pool of blood on the ground and seemed to understand something. She clenched her fists, her eyes turned red, and the fluctuations of her soul power increased.

"As expected, without those annoying eyes, you can't even fight the most basic battles anymore." Qian Lingyun looked at Wang Dong, vaguely seeing a guy stabbing her body with a sword in her fragments of memory.

Suppressing her urge to stab this guy to death, Qian Lingyun still politely extended her right hand, now devoid of the scythe, and beckoned to Wang Dong with her finger, saying, "Come here!"

"Second Soul Skill, Butterfly God's Light!"

Beneath the dazzling purple soul ring, the wings formed by Wang Dong's Goddess of Light Butterfly martial soul also shone brightly.

Above the azure wings, the golden light patterns burst forth with intense brilliance, like tiny suns that had been ignited.

All these light patterns were concentrated on the forewings, and the golden light patterns on both wings shone brightly at the same time.

Wang Dong's entire body was bathed in gold at that moment, making him the most dazzling presence in all sixteen arenas of the competition almost instantly.

On the viewing platform, because the black wall of fire was so completely obscured, the teachers who were observing other competition areas instantly shifted their gaze. What they saw was a pair of dazzling wings moving forward and launching a powerful attack.

"Endless Combo!"

Under the dazzling light, Qian Lingyun activated the second skill of her left leg divine equipment. Although the light was not intense, its power was still not to be underestimated. Qian Lingyun simply swept her leg, and hundreds of black curved blades rushed towards the dazzling little suns in the direction their master swept.

Why did Qian Lingyun use this skill? It all started with the origin of the prototype of this divine equipment—the left leg soul bone.

The source of her left leg soul bone was a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit in the Star Dou Great Forest. This Soft Bone Rabbit had a daughter named Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu had a daughter named Tang Wutong…

This time, it seems Qian Lingyun is helping her grandmother discipline her granddaughter...

As the smoke cleared, Qian Lingyun stood unharmed on the ground, taking out a small file from somewhere and gently trimming her nails. She said softly, "I'll give you time to unleash your ultimate move. I won't interrupt you during this time. Let's begin! Don't keep me too bored."

"You'll regret this," Wang Dong said in a deep voice. After saying this, he closed his eyes, and two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, lit up simultaneously. Golden halos began to rise from the dazzling blue wings on his back, and he raised both arms to meet the forewings.

Fifteen, fourteen…ten, nine…five, four, three, two, one…

As the final second arrived, a golden pillar of light suddenly rose, and Wang Dong's wings of the Goddess of Light Butterfly transformed completely into a brilliant gold. With the ascent of that golden light, he rose like a butterfly rising from the ashes. As his body ascended, the golden pillar of light curved, transforming into a terrifyingly large crescent-shaped blade of light.
