Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

“But Fengzhi, if that happens, Tang San will surely die. When Tang Hao goes crazy, he doesn’t care about anything.” Chen Xin said worriedly. He knew Tang Hao well. Even if this matter had nothing to do with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he would definitely blame them for not going all out.

Although Chen Xin was not afraid of Tang Hao at all, the saying goes that those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. Tang Hao is now all alone, and if he wants to take revenge on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Chen Xin really cannot guard against him forever.

"Don't worry, Tang San won't die." Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly. "Even if Tang Hao doesn't come, someone will still come to rescue him. A few days ago, I wrote a letter to a friend and asked him to meet me in the canyon ahead today. I think he should have arrived here by now."

At this moment, the vanguard entered the mountains and stood between two low hills. Suddenly, a cold aura came from the mountains on both sides of the path. Everyone present was a Soul Master, and their sense of danger was extremely sharp. In an instant, their hair stood on end.

The captain leading the Royal Knights shouted, "Everyone on alert! Something's up!"

The Royal Knights guarding the Soul Masters immediately raised their lances. The participating Soul Master academy students, however, looked relaxed and carefree. With so many talented Soul Masters here, what did they have to worry about? Although these students were far fewer in number than the Royal Knights, in a real fight, their strength was disproportionate. Moreover, the instructors leading each academy were all powerful figures, with at least a dozen Soul Masters at levels sixty or seventy. Such a team was more than capable of facing an army of over ten thousand.

However, they had no idea what kind of opponent they were about to face.

Chapter 176 Assault

Countless rocks fell like raindrops from the hills on both sides, not only abruptly but also falling in a very orderly fashion.

This is when the overall quality of the Royal Knights became apparent. Although not all of them were Soul Masters, their overall strength was formidable.

The hills on either side weren't very high, which meant the force of the falling rocks wasn't overwhelming. The knights of the Royal Knights retreated a few steps, leaving only a narrow passage in the center, their lances raised high, and faced the falling rocks head-on.

As the spears moved and stones fell, they used their spears to constantly deflect the falling stones to the side. The spears of the five hundred warriors formed an iron defense line. In such unfavorable terrain, they did not allow a single stone to pass in front of them for a short period of time. They were indeed well-trained.

However, as more and more rocks fell, the royal knights gradually began to be unable to withstand the onslaught. Some particularly large rocks crashed down on the various teams, separating them.

That was their real purpose. These rocks weren't meant for attacking, but rather to block unnecessary targets, allowing them to focus all their efforts on dealing with the person they needed to deal with.

However, the people from various academies were not afraid and got off the carriages one after another. They were not ordinary people who could not even kill a chicken, but the most elite young soul masters.

At this moment, thousands of men in black suddenly appeared on the hills on both sides, rushing towards the various academies at an astonishing speed.

A dazzling array of lights began to flash as everyone from the various academies completed their Martial Soul Possession and prepared for battle.

Some people even took the initiative and attacked these guys who looked like 'bandits'. When they thought they could easily defeat their opponents, they were hit hard by their opponents.

Among these men in black, there were actually a large number of Soul Masters, including dozens of Soul Kings above level 50. Such a powerful force could not be fielded by just any organization. The teachers from various academies immediately realized that this was not a bandit raid, but an organized attack.

At this moment, the Royal Fighting Team faced the fewest enemies, only a few dozen men in black, but the danger was the greatest because three of them were special. The pressure emanating from them made even Qin Ming, a level 68 Soul Emperor, very uneasy.

"Three people, all Soul Saints." Qin Ming's face was extremely ugly. Which force could send out three Soul Saints so easily?

"Teacher, why don't they release their martial spirits?" Dugu Yan asked in confusion.

"To conceal our identities, don't be careless. Even without releasing their martial souls, Soul Saints are no weaker than me." Qin Ming, with his martial soul activated, roared, "Children, you go deal with the other men in black. Leave these three to me."

Qin Ming couldn't let his children directly face Soul Saints, so today he was prepared to fight three against one. If his opponents didn't release their Martial Souls, he should be able to hold out for a while. At worst, he would die here, but as long as he could breathe, he wouldn't let anything happen to his students.

Thankfully, his girlfriend Zhou Yan didn't come today, which was his last consolation.

"Teacher Qin, what are you afraid of? They're just three Soul Saints. I'll kill them with you today." Tian Lin held the Demon Sword and stood beside Qin Ming.

Qin Ming wanted to dissuade him, but then he thought that Tian Lin's true combat strength was already no less than his own, and with his help, the other children would be much safer.

"Brother Tianmeng, what are the martial spirits of these three people?" Tianlin asked. He needed to confirm the opponent's information and fighting style before he could use his strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

“Let me sense them: they are a battle axe, a snow wolf, and a painting,” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm replied.

“So, it should be two strong attackers and one controller. That painting should be somewhat similar to Shi Nian’s; both are martial souls that lure enemies into an illusion.” Tian Lin pondered, then leaned closer to Qin Ming and whispered, “Teacher Qin, the martial soul of the leftmost person among the three is a snow wolf, which is countered by your Fiery Azure Wolf. You deal with him. The remaining two, one axe and one painting, can be left to me.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's eyes suddenly widened. "Snow Wolf, Painting, Axe? You are... martial arts..."

Those who can become Soul Saints are naturally famous figures on the continent. The three people in front of them are a group. Back in the Soul Emperor era, their fame was no less than that of Zhao Wuji. They had already joined the Spirit Hall. No wonder they don't use their Spirits and wear masks. They are probably afraid that people will recognize their identities.

Qin Ming almost blurted out the three people's identities in his excitement, but luckily he quickly shut his mouth.

He wasn't a fool. Since the Spirit Hall had attacked in masks, it meant they didn't intend to kill everyone. Otherwise, why would they hide their identities? But if he openly revealed his identity, everyone who heard it would die, and he would be harming people.

“Since the attack wasn’t intended to cause widespread killing, it must be aimed at someone. Is it Xiao Tian?” Qin Ming glanced at Tian Lin beside him. “No, if it were Xiao Tian, ​​three Soul Saints wouldn’t be enough, and they wouldn’t have left without their Martial Souls. The other academies should be the same, with one or two Soul Saints leading a group of Soul Kings to buy time. The real main force will head towards the target.”

"Tang San!" After brainstorming, Qin Ming quickly identified the Spirit Hall's true target, and only Tang San, with his twin spirits and birth from the Clear Sky Sect, was the most likely candidate.

"Xiao Tian, ​​listen to me. In the upcoming battle, focus on defense. Their target isn't us. If we stall for time, everything will be fine," Qin Ming whispered a warning.

Tianlin nodded; it seemed Qin Ming had already deduced the truth.

The leader of the men in black pointed at Qin Ming, "Just now, this person seems to have discovered our identities."

He heard the word "martial arts".

"In that case, he's doomed." With that, the burlyest of the three threw a punch at them.

Judging from his physique, he should be the Soul Saint of the Giant Axe.

"Your opponent is me!" Tianlin stood in front of Qin Ming, using his demonic sword to block Qin Ming's iron fist.

Qin Ming then unleashed a burst of fire at the other Soul Saint, the Snow Wolf Soul Saint.

At the same time, the other members of Huang Dou also engaged in a chaotic battle with a large number of men in black. Although the opposing side was of a higher level, none of them used their martial spirits, so for the time being, the people on Huang Dou's side were not at a disadvantage.

"Hmph, a mere Soul King dares to compare strength with me? Get back!" The Giant Axe Soul Saint suddenly unleashed his power, the force of which caused the ground to tremble.

"Heh, retreat? You don't even need to use your Martial Soul. If you can make me back down, I'll change my surname to 'stupid' today, the 'stupid' of 'idiot'." Tian Lin smiled confidently, and the demonic sword continued to thrust forward.

"What?" The Giant Axe Soul Saint was shocked. He found that his fist, which was wrapped in a huge amount of soul power, was now as if it were made of paper. It was easily pierced by the demonic sword. At the critical moment, a giant axe appeared in his hand and struck the edge of the demonic sword, finally deflecting the demonic sword.

At the same time, the opponent's seven spirit rings—two yellow, three purple, and two black—were all revealed, and the first spirit ring was still flashing.

Chapter 177 Dugu Yan's Ultimate Skill: Heavenly Scale Soul-Slaying Saint

"What are you doing? To deal with a mere Soul King, you not only used your Martial Soul, but also your Soul Skill!" The last man in black shouted sternly when he saw that the Battle Axe Soul Saint had been exposed.

It seems that the Soul Saint of the painting is the leader of the three.

"That kid's sword is strange. When I punched him, I clearly used my soul power to protect myself, but he was able to easily pierce through my defense. If I hadn't summoned my martial soul in time, my hand might be ruined," the Battle Axe Soul Saint said, frowning.

He didn't understand the meaning of true damage. If Bibi Dong were here, she would definitely have noticed that this characteristic was exactly the same as her sixth soul skill, Eternal Creation.

"Oh, is that so? A Soul King can actually ignore the Soul Saint's soul power defense. In that case, let me test him." A glint flashed in the eyes of the Scroll Soul Saint, and a massive spiritual force immediately attacked Tian Lin. Clearly, he was a Soul Saint of the spiritual type.

Tianlin smiled slightly and said, "Why do you have to play with my mental power? In that case, come and visit my Sea of ​​Spirit."

Tianlin simply opened his spiritual sea, allowing the spiritual power of the Soul Saint opposite him to rush in.

"Oh, we have a guest. Well then, I'll give him a good welcome." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm smiled dangerously, and its million-year-old mental fluctuations immediately rebounded. In just an instant, the mental power of the Scroll Soul Saint was bounced back.

"Well!"

This guy is even worse than the Battle Axe Soul Saint from before; mental damage is far more dangerous than physical damage.

"Big brother!" Battle Axe Soul Saint immediately helped him up.

The Scroll Soul Saint, still somewhat dazed, rubbed his head and said, "You're right, this kid is strange. We shouldn't hold back anymore, otherwise we won't be able to hold him off, and we might even be killed by him."

At this moment, the Scroll Soul Saint did not hesitate any longer, and a beautiful scroll painting full of mountains, rivers and plants appeared in his hands.

"Seventh Soul Skill, True Form of the Painting".

This Soul Saint actually activated his Weapon Soul True Form to deal with Tian Lin. At the same time, the painting enveloped Tian Lin, "Sixth Soul Skill, World in the Painting."

The sixth soul skill after activating the true form of the martial soul is indeed extraordinary. Tianlin felt as if he were truly in a beautiful world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. Compared to Shi Nian back then, this illusion of the Soul Saint in the painting was even more realistic.

People who are trapped in such a dream world find it extremely difficult to escape.

At the same time, the Battle Axe Soul Saint, carrying a huge battle axe, walked step by step toward Tian Lin. Although he dared not kill Tian Lin, he could temporarily cripple one of his hands and feet, which would also remove a major threat to their Spirit Hall Academy.

Seeing Tianlin trapped in the illusion and motionless, Dugu Yanyu, Tianheng and the others were very anxious. They wanted to go to his rescue, but they were also held back by many men in black and could not get there at all.

"Damn it, how dare you hurt my brother! I'll take the lives of all of you!" Dugu Yan's eyes flashed with a green light, as if she had returned to the state she was in when she was deeply poisoned.

"Oh no, Yanzi has gone mad! Stone millstone, stone inkstone, set up the formation!" Yu Tianheng quickly gave the order, and the rest of Huang Dou immediately gathered together.

The Shi brothers set up the Xuanwu Shield Formation above their heads, making thorough defensive preparations.

This was certainly not because Dugu Yan had been poisoned again, but because of the soul bone technique of the 50,000-year-old poisonous electric salamander skull she had obtained years ago. It was because of this move that Qin Ming had never dared to let her go into battle, otherwise, once it was used, people would die, and not just one or two.

Dugu Yan raised her hands above her head, and in the sky, terrifyingly dark purple-black clouds had gathered. "Die, all of you! Strong acid—deadly poison—extinction rain!"

As Dugu Yan shouted out the name of her soul skill, a torrential downpour began to fall on their battlefield. The rain, like the dark clouds, was entirely purplish-black. Wherever it fell, whether grass, trees, or rocks, it was instantly corroded to nothing.

But strangely enough, the small area where Tianlin was standing was completely untouched. Clearly, even though Dugu Yan was furious, she still remembered not to harm her younger brother.

A large group of men in black let out a shrill scream. By this time, many of them had already released their martial souls, but it was useless. Unless the opponent's soul power level was much higher than Dugu Yan's, or they had poison resistance, this poisonous rain could even corrode their martial souls.

It's an extremely terrifying move, but its weakness is also obvious. When using this ultimate move, Dugu Yan herself can no longer move and needs to continuously output soul power to make the raindrops fall.

Therefore, when the Shi brothers set up the Xuanwu Shield Formation, even Dugu Yan was included in it. It wouldn't be so easy to break through their defenses and hit Dugu Yan.

"Yanzi has completely inherited Poison Douluo's group combat ability. This is too terrifying. She took care of three-quarters of the dozens of men in black in one go," Yu Tianheng said with lingering fear.

"Yes, thankfully, Shi Mo's Xuanwu Turtle has an abnormal status resistance, otherwise I alone wouldn't dare guarantee that I could withstand Yan Zi's poisonous rain." Shi Mo nodded in agreement.

"Poison Douluo's granddaughter, indeed impressive. I never expected that a mere Royal Fighting Team could cause us such heavy losses." Looking at the tragic scene on the other side, Battle Axe Soul Saint was consumed by rage. He was no longer willing to play around. He flipped his axe and smashed it down on Tian Lin's arm. "Kid, losing your arm in this beautiful painting world is a fitting end for you."

He still seemed to be wary of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After all, if Chen Xin wanted him dead, he would have to stay in the Spirit Hall for the rest of his life. Otherwise, he would surely die as soon as he left Spirit City. Therefore, he only wanted to temporarily break Tian Lin's bones to affect his subsequent matches.

"Is that so? But I was lying to you." Tianlin suddenly snapped out of his previous state, blocking the battle axe with his demonic sword as his eyes flashed with fire. "Burn, Golden Flame Soul Destroyer!"

In an instant, the entire world depicted in the painting burst into flames.

"Haha, this is the consequence of letting that brat play at your house. Your whole house was burned down, wasn't it?" Tianmeng Bingcan laughed heartily.

This time, not only the spirit of the Scroll Soul Saint was burned by Tianlin's ultimate fire, but also his martial soul.

"Big oaf, I'll play with you later." Tianlin smiled at the Battle Axe Soul Saint, and with a flash, he teleported to the Scroll Soul Saint.

This Soul Saint had completely lost his fighting ability and was kneeling on the ground wailing. Tian Lin did not show him any mercy and slashed his longsword, giving him a quick death.

A human head flew into the sky and landed right at the feet of the Battle Axe Soul Saint.

The Battle Axe Soul Saint was horrified. His elder brother had been killed just like that?

Tianlin turned around and said calmly, "Take care of one, then it's your turn."

"Damn it, I will kill you today!" With his elder brother killed, Battle Axe Soul Saint had completely lost his mind. As for the consequences of killing Tianlin, he couldn't care less at the moment.

However, his opponents now are not just Tianlin, because Dugu Yan has dealt with most of the men in black, and the rest of the Royal Fighting Team have also been freed. Now he has to face the encirclement and killing of the entire Royal Fighting Team.

Chapter 178 The True Strength of the Imperial Battle Arrives; All Attackers Annihilated

While the other academies were locked in fierce battles, Huang Dou seemed to be having a very easy time. Although the Battle Axe Soul Saint had an astonishingly strong attack power, his weaknesses were also very obvious.

Apart from his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body, his first to sixth soul skills were all single-target attack skills. The attack range was too narrow and the attack speed was not fast enough, so for a time, he could not hit the Royal Fighters at all.

The three brothers were originally supposed to be a team, controlled by the Scroll Soul Saint Master. After controlling the opponent, they would use the Battle Axe Soul Saint's incomparably powerful attack to kill the enemy.

As for the Snow Wolf Soul Saint, he was an agile attacker, mainly responsible for surprise attacks. Unfortunately, one of his brothers has died in battle, and the other is being held back by Qin Ming.

Although Snow Wolf's Soul Saint level was higher than Qin Ming's, it was completely countered by Qin Ming's Fiery Azure Wolf. If it weren't for its Martial Soul True Body, it would probably have been defeated long ago.
