Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 221 The Path of Continuous Breakthroughs in Battle (Part 2)

The Fourth Hell is a dark swamp that punishes the dissatisfied and the angry. The swamp is like a dense forest, filled with the damp smell of earth. The submerged trees and shrubs still retain their original shapes, adding a strange and mysterious atmosphere to this desolate hell.

"Let's use flying instead!"

The swamp's mud and vegetation were intertwined, making the road extremely muddy and difficult for the group to walk on. Their trouser legs and shoe heels easily became covered in unclean mud.

A love of beauty is a girl's nature, and even the most powerful girls cannot escape it. As soon as Qian Renxue made this suggestion, she immediately received the support of Huo Wu and Ye Lingling.

All three women supported the idea, and the minority had to submit to the majority. Moreover, Xiao Yu himself deeply resented the muddy, slippery, and difficult-to-walk-on road and did not express any objection.

"let's go!"

Huo Wu walked up to Xiao Yu with great joy. Originally, she had been quite upset about her inability to fly, but now she was actually quite glad. Whenever she needed to fly, she could have Xiao Yu's embrace all to herself.

"Hey Qian Renxue, what are you doing?"

But this time, before she could even reach Xiao Yu, Qian Renxue suddenly reached out and grabbed Huo Wu's wrist.

Qian Renxue smiled playfully, her eyes fixed on Huo Wu, her gaze almost tangible, as if it could pierce through Huo Wu's body: "Didn't I say I'd take you flying? I can do that too, so I won't trouble Xiao Yu."

As she spoke, two pairs of golden spirit wings, each over three meters long, unfurled from Qian Renxue's back, gripped Huo Wu's wrists, and took flight.

"Ah, Qian Renxue, fly slower!"

Only the occasional screams of Huo Wu remained in the air as the two figures leaped into the sky and disappeared from Xiao Yu's sight.

Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly. Qian Renxue's actions were a typical case of settling personal scores under the guise of official business. However, he knew that Qian Renxue was sensible and would at most scare Huo Wu. She would never actually do anything to harm her.

"Lingling, let's go!"

As Xiao Yu released his four black wings, he hovered above the ground and said softly, "The demonic beast guarding this place hasn't shown itself yet. It might appear high in the sky soon. Lingling, stay close to me!"

He wasn't worried about Qian Renxue. With her current strength, unless she encountered a monster with ferocious beast-level combat power, it was really hard to say who would be whose prey.

Ye Lingling nodded obediently. The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone flight skill was activated, and the two of them slowly floated up and flew in the direction where Qian Renxue had left.

Qian Renxue originally wanted to teach Huo Wu, who was at odds with her, a lesson. However, she secretly used her soul power to fly at super-high speed during the initial flight. When she saw that the time was right, she immediately slowed down. Before long, Xiao Yu and Ye Lingling caught up with her.

"Xiao Yu, you've finally arrived!"

Huo Wu is also strong-willed. Although she was afraid, she didn't utter a single word of surrender.

Seeing Xiao Yu chasing after her from behind, she felt even more confident. She broke free from Qian Renxue's grasp and threw herself into Xiao Yu's arms, clinging to him like an octopus, not daring to let go for a moment.

Qian Renxue let out another cold snort upon seeing this.

Xiao Yu could only smile wryly at this, since it was he who was going to establish the harem, and he could only silently bear these troubles himself.

Fortunately, there was still the gentle, virtuous, and understanding Ye Lingling; otherwise, he would have lost countless brain cells just dealing with the conflicts in the harem.

The four continued flying forward. After an unknown amount of time, as they ventured deeper into the air, it began to thin.

In a very instant, alarm bells suddenly rang in Xiao Yu's spiritual sea. Without time to think, he fully released his Netherworld God Domain, enveloping himself and the three women, Qian Renxue, Huo Wu, and Ye Lingling.

The next moment, a gray shadow suddenly fell over the sky, followed by a deathly attack that swept across the entire sky in a carpet-like fashion.

A hint of relief flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes: "Such a powerful aura! If you hadn't activated your domain in time and taken that attack head-on, the two of us would be fine, but Lingling and that other person would have been in danger!"

Huo Wu, who was referred to as "that person," snorted lightly, but did not refute it. With her strength, the attack she just received was enough to severely injure her, a Soul Emperor who had just absorbed her sixth Soul Ring, when she was caught off guard.

"Let's go down first, something big is probably coming!"

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, and the three women nodded in unison. After all, none of them were Title Douluo. Whether Xiao Yu and Qian Renxue used their martial souls or Ye Lingling used her soul bone skills to fly, they all needed to consume soul power to support it. They did not have an advantage in the aerial battlefield.

Because the Fourth Prison was full of mud, the group finally managed to find a patch of grass where they could put their feet.

Just as they landed, the enormous creature hurtling towards them from afar finally came into view.

It was a skeletal dragon over a hundred meters long, its entire body reduced to a skeleton, its bones gleaming white like jade, emitting a faint fluorescent glow. A five-meter-long horn grew from its head, its back was covered in sharp bone spikes, and in the very center were a pair of wings, also reduced to bones. When these enormous bone wings were spread, they seemed capable of unleashing a hurricane that could topple anything.

Inside the giant eye hole of the bone dragon, a cluster of eerie blue flames ignited, and those flames seemed to be alive, constantly flickering.

This is the guardian of the Fourth Prison, the Berserk Bone Dragon King.

The bone dragon quickly spotted Xiao Yu and his companions, and with a roar, the surrounding vegetation and the earth began to tremble violently.

Ye Lingling and Huo Wu, who were weaker, grunted and took several steps back.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu also roared angrily, and powerful energy transformed into a ring-shaped shockwave beneath his feet. The shockwave and the sonic attack emitted by the bone dragon canceled each other out, and Ye Lingling and Huo Wu barely managed to stabilize themselves.

This bone dragon's strength is probably already very close to that of a level 95 Title Douluo!

Xiao Yu judged the strength of the Berserk Bone Dragon King almost instantly. Considering the terrifying combat power of the dragon race, which is naturally higher than that of the same level, even Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, whose soul power reached level 95, would probably only be defeated when they encountered this Bone Dragon King.

"That's what makes it interesting!"

Xiao Yu's lips curled into a smile, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit. Only by fighting against strong opponents could he reach the Soul Douluo realm more quickly. Moreover, this Bone Dragon King was filled with the aura of death and darkness, making it perfect as his eighth soul ring.
