Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 79 Encirclement and Slaughter: Blood Qi Absorption Too Slow

The next morning, above the waterfall

As Tang Hao watched the cave collapse, countless rubble scattered on the ground, his killing intent erupted completely. The ground began to tremble, and the rubble turned to dust.

"Who? Who exactly is it?"

At this moment, Tang Hao did not detect any unfamiliar soul power fluctuations, and even the aura emanating from the Blue Silver Emperor had completely disappeared.

In his anger, he suddenly noticed several powerful, flowing characters on the intact waterfall cliff to his right. He silently read them from top to bottom.

"Your grandfather was here."

"What a fine way to say 'your grandpa was here'!"

"What a great tourist trap!"

The Haotian Hammer, radiating murderous intent, was gripped in Tang Hao's hand. He roared several times in fury and slammed it down on the characters inscribed on the cliff face. The thousands-of-pounds Haotian Hammer shattered the entire waterfall, the commotion causing the river to change course, rushing down to either side.

The river washed away almost the entire area within a mile, and dozens of animals that couldn't escape were swept away by the current, resulting in many deaths and injuries.

"You call yourself a grandfather? If I, Tang Hao, were to catch you, I'd blast you to smithereens!"

As the Blue Silver Emperor vanished completely, he seemed to lose his mind and searched rapidly within a five-mile radius. Whether small or large, all animals fell victim to his cruelty and were blasted to pieces.

Tianshui City, Tianshui Academy

A Soul Master, exuding an aura of coldness and utter aloofness, was sorting through a mere 50 envelopes.

"Ji Wuming, you bastard! You went to study at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and actually started hanging out with that poisonous woman. Is this why you haven't come to Tianshui City to meet me yet?"

Shui Bing'er almost crushed those 50 envelopes. If she hadn't heard the name Ji Wuming from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team at the Soul Master Competition two years ago, she wouldn't have known Ji Wuming's whereabouts.

But when she learned about it, especially when she heard about his ambiguous relationship with Dugu Yan, she was quite angry. What angered her even more was that when she was about to go to the Tiandou Royal Academy, she was told by a scout from her clan that Ji Wuming had already left the Tiandou Royal Academy and his whereabouts were still unknown.

Suddenly appearing from behind, Shui Yue'er looked at Shui Bing'er, who had been angry for a year, and kindly said...

"Sister, don't be angry. According to my inside information, we will be going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in three months for the annual academy exchange competition. We'll see who's the best in the Soul Arena and defeat her in one fell swoop."

"Moon, you scared me to death!"

After calming down, Shui Bing'er's gaze became extremely firm.

"You're right, that bastard Ji Wuming doesn't like weaklings. I need to become stronger."

Even if Dugu Yan is already a Soul Master, so what? Relying on his Soul Venerable strength, he is still capable of fighting her.

…………

Meanwhile, the Dugu family...

Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo beside her with a worried expression and asked,

"Grandpa, we haven't heard from Brother Ji for so long. Could something have happened to him? Why don't you go to Poseidon Island and check on him?"

"Yan Yan, that brat is incredibly lucky. He even has the Sea Spear Douluo by his side. He'll definitely be fine. As for why there's been no news yet, maybe he's undergoing grueling training."

Dugu Bo could only comfort his granddaughter with his limited understanding of Ji Wuming. During this time, he occasionally went to Hanhai City, but he received no news of Ji Wuming coming ashore.

He wanted to go to Seagod Island but couldn't. Firstly, he was the honorary retainer of the Heaven Dou Empire and had to protect his granddaughter's safety. Secondly, Seagod Island never received land-based Soul Masters, especially Title Douluo like him, and he didn't want to put Ji Wuming in a difficult position.

"Yan Yan, you have to trust that kid. Maybe he's hunting spirit beasts somewhere right now, trying to get his sixth spirit ring?"

"Grandpa, it's only been less than a year. How could Brother Ji have obtained his sixth spirit ring so quickly?"

…………

At this moment, inside the City of Slaughter

"Let's congratulate player number 16258 once again on achieving a brilliant four-game winning streak in the Hellfire Arena."

At this point, Ji Wuming had only played four matches in seven days, and he was already dissatisfied with the amount of blood energy he had gained from the matches.

As he stepped out of the hellish killing field, many of the fallen on the street looked up at him, gripping their weapons tightly, their eyes gleaming with fanatical killing intent.

After Ji Wuming had moved some distance away from the Hell Slaughter Arena, a Fallen Soul Master at the Soul King level shouted loudly,

"The battle against the five Soul Masters has left No. 16258 with almost no Soul Power. If we kill him, we'll have an endless supply of Yellow Spring Dew."

"To kill a newly emerged winner on a winning streak is the greatest honor of my life."

"kill--"

…………

Hundreds of corrupted soul masters, adhering to the principle of striking while the iron is hot, charged towards Ji Wuming.

Ji Wuming was overjoyed. Four days had passed, and these fallen ones had only just organized a proper large-scale attack. He couldn't wait any longer.

Ji Wuming gathered strength in his legs and leaped into the air, his blood energy erupting, a dark red mist swirling around him.

"Boom——"

As the blood mist suddenly exploded, many of the Fallen Ones who participated in the encirclement were blasted away. Ji Wuming gripped the hilt of the Blood Thunder Spear.

"You should feel honored to be the first to die by my soul skill."

The latest novel is first published here!

"A stormy night, the wind and rain penetrate to the extreme."

The Blood Thunder Spear shot out, carrying a surging wave of blood energy, and pierced towards the many Fallen Ones marked by the Blood Killing Aura.

No matter what weapons or martial spirits they used to resist, when they were unable to use their own soul skills, they were like one weak person after another being pierced through the chest, and the blood energy around their bodies was forcibly devoured by the Blood Thunder Spear at that moment.

"How...how is this possible? He can use soul skills?"

"No, this is not a spirit ring skill, but his self-created spirit skill."

"This self-created soul skill must rely on blood mist to lock onto the target. Everyone, quickly dispel the blood mist on your bodies."

…………

The Fallen Ones at the rear were utterly terrified. He watched as the spear, like a nimble and ferocious beast, relentlessly stabbed and drained the life force of their prey before them.

And the blood aura clung to them was even stronger.

Upon hearing this, the Fallen Ones at the forefront of the encirclement and slaughter began to brush off the bloodthirsty aura clinging to them.

"I can't shake him off, he's stuck to me."

Before he could finish speaking, the Fallen was pierced through the armor protecting his chest, and his corpse turned into blood that surged into the spear.

"boom--"

In less than two seconds, the bones inside the heavy armor turned to ashes and scattered away, and the armor crashed heavily to the ground.

Ji Wuming watched as the fallen soul masters closest to him died one after another in a gruesome manner, and he himself was about to follow up and kill the charging fallen ones. He spoke with great emotion.

"Slow, still too slow!"

The spear dissipated, and Ji Wuming's two soul-guided rays pierced the bodies of two Fallen Ones. The Blood Thunder Spear reappeared in his hand, and he moved like a phantom, swiftly appearing and disappearing among the crowd. With each strike, death followed, and blood splattered all over his body.

Five minutes later, numerous rubble, weapons, and armor lay scattered on the ground in a chaotic mess, and all the corpses transformed into a torrent of blood energy that surged into the Blood Thunder Spear.
