Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 542 Old Friend Zhang Peng (Daily Written Version)

A complex look flashed in Yan Shaozhe's eyes, his gaze narrowing slightly, but his tone was hostile. "Zhang Peng, you're still alive? Are you planning to have me finish you off today?"

"Yan Shaozhe, your mouth is still as foul as ever. Today we'll see who takes over whom."

The enormous dark cloud tiger head let out a deafening roar, and a terrifying pressure instantly erupted, covering Huo Yuhao and the others like a tidal wave.

"Zhang Peng, you brat, can't you see I'm here too?"

Elder Xuan threw a punch, and the enormous fist of soul power instantly left a long trail in the air, growing three times larger in the wind.

"Elder Xuan, how have you been?"

The enormous dark cloud tiger head let out a deafening roar, and a terrifying pressure instantly erupted, colliding with Elder Xuan's giant fist of soul power, creating layers of aftershocks.

Amidst a deafening roar, the black tiger's head exploded, revealing an elderly man dressed in black.

He stood on a black cloud, his skin was extremely dark, his eyebrows were uneven, and there was a large black "king" character on his forehead.

Contrary to his deep voice, he was very thin and small, unlike the tall and imposing figures of ordinary tiger-type martial soul possessors.

Compared to Elder Xuan, who was already faintly merging with the phantom of the Taotie, the disparity was stark, and their auras seemed to be on completely different levels.

Despite his appearance, his martial spirit is actually a degraded version of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Even among evil martial spirits, it is considered extremely powerful.

Elder Xuan sneered, "I am indeed well, but I foresee your demise today. Elder Mu spared you back then, and now you dare to appear before us?"

Zhang Peng said in a deep voice, "I am grateful to Elder Mu for letting me go. I will always remember this kindness. But Shrek Academy should not go too far. You have never been lenient when hunting soul beasts. The number of 100,000-year soul beasts you have killed is no less than that of the Body Sect, which triggered the beast tide."

"I merely kill some soul beasts to cultivate my blood; I've never done anything immoral. How am I any different from other soul masters? To put it bluntly, don't you also increase your strength by killing soul beasts?"

"After all these years of not appearing before the world, what more does Shrek Academy want from me?"

"snort."

Elder Xuan's expression shifted, revealing a hint of unease in his heart: "I am not here to debate with you today. Since you accepted that old bastard Jing Hongchen's invitation to intercept and kill my Shrek students, then you shall leave your life here today."

At this moment, half of the sky had turned black, with streaks of yellow light flashing continuously; it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a change in the color of heaven and earth.

"Damn it, you Shrek bastards are still as unreasonable as ever. Who said I came here to ambush you? Leave your stuff and you can get lost. But today, your opponent isn't me!"

Zhang Peng also cursed angrily, but he still subconsciously moved a little further away. He was really worried that he would be slapped to death by Elder Xuan.

Just then, Xian Lin'er moved, letting out a long howl. In a flash, she soared into the sky.

Intense flames erupted from her body. The flames were actually blue in color. Meanwhile, Xian Lin'er's body was growing taller. In the blink of an eye, she had grown to over five meters tall, and she was now wearing a layer of blue armor.

Her armor was like scales covering her entire body. Huo Yuhao didn't know Xian Lin'er's real age, but from her conversation with Yan Shaozhe, he could tell that this Dean Xian must be quite old.

But now, seeing Xian Lin'er unleash her armor, with nine spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—rising from her feet, her enlarged body seemed to have become younger, like a girl in her early twenties. She also exuded a heroic aura full of fighting spirit.

"Martial God Douluo Xian Lin'er?" The deep voice suddenly took on a strange tone. "Didn't you two break up? How come you're still with that hypocrite Yan Shaozhe?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Since Elder Xuan's opponent today isn't you, then I'll take on you!"

Xian Lin'er was furious; this was truly rubbing salt in the wound. She grabbed at the air with her right hand, and a burst of azure flame erupted, instantly transforming a spear into her grasp.

Soul tool! Huo Yuhao immediately recognized that the spear was a soul tool, and it should be a close-range soul tool.

Level 8 near-body soul guide device.

Xian Lin'er pointed her spear forward, and a deafening dragon roar erupted from her mouth. In an instant, azure flames burst forth, transforming into a gigantic dragon head that charged towards Zhang Peng.

Yan Shaozhe's figure also rose into the air, and he smiled slightly, saying, "Zhang Peng, you're getting worse as you get older. You actually colluded with the Sun Moon Empire, finding yourself a good employer!"

The old man in black roared, "Bullshit, bullshit! I have no idea what the Sun Moon Empire is, nor do I know anything about the Mingde Hall. I just know that you Shrek people have treasures. Hand them over now, and you can get lost!"

While the battle raged on, Qian Duoduo calmly began giving Huo Yuhao and He Caitou extra lessons.

Qian Duoduo said, "Yuhao, watch carefully. This level of battle is rare, and it will be very helpful for your future cultivation."

"This man in black is named Zhang Peng, and his title is Scorpion Tiger. He is an evil soul master. His martial soul needs to constantly devour animal blood to evolve. Relatively speaking, he's not too excessively evil."

"Although Shao Zhe was sharp-tongued just now, he actually said a lot of good things about the other party during the Sea God Pavilion meeting. While Xiao Tao was partly responsible, the main reason was because of his younger self."

"Our teacher once caught him, but because his martial soul's evil aura wasn't strong and he had never harmed anyone, he let him go. After all these years, his cultivation level has probably reached the Super Douluo level."

The aerial battle was becoming increasingly intense. Xianlin'er lived up to her title as the Valkyrie of Flight, maneuvering and leaping through the air. Each time she struck with her spear, a loud boom echoed through the air.

The azure flames transformed into rings of air waves that spread outwards, forcing Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng to retreat step by step, seemingly unable to withstand the onslaught.

"Dean Yan, Dean Xian's martial soul..."

Yan Shaozhe slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot to mention. Lin'er's martial soul is very special; it's a type of mutated martial soul, and it's even possible that she's the only person in the entire world who possesses this kind of martial soul. She named her martial soul Azure Flame Dragon."

However, if you mistake it for a fire-attribute martial soul, you would be sorely mistaken. Her mutated Azure Flame Dragon martial soul is actually wind-attribute. The flames you see are azure flames produced by the intense friction of wind after extreme compression, possessing immense destructive power. Specifically, it manifests as decomposition.
