Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

But then I thought, Liu Erlong is still there and can be saved.

There are so many poor, innocent women, it's too tragic.

None of the members of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group are innocent; they all deserve to die.

"Alright, let me test just how powerful your Contra is."

However, when Ning Xingchen returned, the battle seemed to have already ended.

Flander and Yu Xiaogang have been arrested and pinned to the ground.

"Huh? Zhao Wuji got arrested too?"

"Could it be because of the battle here that he attacked?"

In the center of the square, Liu Erlong and three other women stood together, each of them bearing injuries of varying degrees.

Nine other women have also been arrested.

"Why hasn't the second brother returned yet?" Iron Wolf asked. The treasure vault had been raided, and even the hidden box had been taken away. How could he not be nervous? This box was going to be handed over.

"Boss, I'll go take a look," a Soul Emperor volunteered.

"Go!"

After speaking, Iron Wolf looked at the three women in the arena, a knowing smile appearing on his face.

"Aren't you going to surrender?"

“My Qingyu Mercenary Group only has those who die in battle, none who surrender,” said a woman who looked to be in her early twenties standing next to Liu Erlong.

Her figure was just as stunning as Liu Erlong's, and she wore a blue dress with a beautiful face that looked like it had stepped out of a painting.

Even when threatened by the Iron Wolf, he did not back down at all. Even though his whole body was covered in blood, it could not hide his special aura that was innate to him, making people want to possess him.

His martial spirit is quite good; it's an extremely rare Azure Phoenix, no wonder it's called the Azure Feather Mercenary Group.

Iron Wolf laughed when he saw how stubborn Qingyu was.

The more stubborn you are, the more he wants to conquer you.

"Qingyu, look at them. I'll give you ten breaths to consider. If you don't surrender to me, I'll have them put on a show right here and now so you can see how we treated your deputy commander back then."

"By the way, your deputy commander is really good, really enjoyable... haha!"

"You...you deserve to die!" Qingyu said helplessly.

"Sister Qingyu, let's fight them!" Liu Erlong said.

"ten……"

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked everyone to come, none of this would have happened..." Tears welled up in Qingyu's eyes.

"Boss, don't surrender. What good will it do if you surrender?"

"Do you still believe in the character of these wolf cubs from the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group?" A slender woman shouted loudly among the group of captured women.

"Nine!"

……

"Eight!"

"Qingyu, if you surrender and submit to me, I might spare everyone else except you, how about it?"

Iron Wolf stopped counting after reaching eight, probably because he knew that his Iron Wolf mercenary group didn't have a good reputation.

Counting to the end will only make Qingyu fight them to the death, since a living Qingyu is definitely more fun than a dead one.

"Sister Qingyu, don't listen to him."

"Yeah, at worst we'll die together."

Qingyu pondered for a moment and said, "Iron Wolf, how can I trust you?"

Iron Wolf smiled and said, "To show my sincerity, I can let half of the people go first. As for the other half, that depends on your own performance."

Release them first?

This made Qingyu waver somewhat.

"Are you sure?" Qingyu asked.

Iron Wolf nodded and said, "You're the only one in my heart. I can ignore them."

That's what he said, but Iron Wolf couldn't suppress a smug look on his face.

How arrogant is Qingyu in the Mercenary Guild normally?

We still have to submit to his tyranny.

What good would it do to release them?

Now that they've been released, we can easily send people down the mountain to secretly capture them. Besides, they're all injured, making them even easier to catch.

After all, they are wolves. Now that the meat is right in front of them, how could they let it fly away?

Iron Wolf's calculations were so elaborate that even he himself admired them.

Qingyu really had no other choice.

Left with no other choice, he could only lower his head and dispel the spirit possession.

"Erlong, you just joined and we're already letting you... sigh, you should leave. And Qingshui, Qinglin, the rest of you who are seriously injured should leave first."

"Erlong, please take care of them as they leave." Qingyu chose to leave the most seriously injured ones.

Of the twelve women, six can walk.

When the Iron Wolf mercenaries had Qingyu under control, Iron Wolf suddenly said, "Kill all three of these men."

"You!" Qingyu stared at Tielang.

Iron Wolf said, "I only said I would let your Azure Feather Mercenary Group go. They aren't. Your Azure Feather Mercenary Group doesn't have any men, right?"

Facing imminent death, Yu Xiaogang turned to look at Flander.

“Brother Flander, I’ve had a very happy and fulfilling six months traveling with you. I want to tell you that I…”

"Alright, brother, stop talking. You think it's that easy to kill me?"

With a loud shout, Flanders broke free from his restraints.

Then, with a single blow, he sent the Soul Master who was binding Yu Xiaogang flying. His wings unfurled, and he actually carried Yu Xiaogang away.

Yu Xiaogang was also holding Flander tightly in mid-air.

"Chase them! Don't let them leave alive."

At Iron Wolf's command, a Soul Emperor and a Soul King used their Soul Skills. Both of them possessed the Wind-attribute Gale Wolf Martial Soul, and a pair of wings appeared behind them as they immediately followed.

The two fled, leaving only Zhao Wuji at the scene.

Zhao Wuji had already been in a battle half a day ago. Although he had taken the medicine given to him by Ning Xingchen, his injuries had only recovered to 90% and he still needed some time to recuperate.

Furthermore, his attack on the best-defended mountain gate caused him to consume too much of his soul power, resulting in both new and old injuries, leaving him truly powerless to resist.

Ning Xingchen felt something was off; wasn't he supposed to be the hero saving the damsel in distress?

Why is it Zhao Wuji?

Just as the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group was about to kill Zhao Wuji, Ning Xingchen appeared beside him in a flash.

With a single sword strike, the soul master who had tried to kill Zhao Wuji was decapitated.

"Young Master, you've finally arrived. Oh, why are you wearing a mask?"

Although he was wearing a mask, Ning Xingchen's clothes, sword, and fighting style remained unchanged, so he could recognize him at a glance.

Meanwhile, Liu Erlong, who hadn't gone far, turned back to look at Ning Xingchen. Memories from many years ago resurfaced, and she whispered, "Is it you?"

"Did you steal the things from my treasure vault?" Iron Wolf looked coldly at Ning Xingchen.

"Where's the second son?"

Ning Xingchen said calmly, "You mean that Flying Silver Wolf? I've already killed it."

"Good, very good. None of you are his match. Step back and let me handle this." Iron Wolf said loudly and stepped forward.

This made Ning Xingchen think more highly of this Iron Wolf. He shared good things with his subordinates and took the lead in danger, which showed some of the demeanor of General Yuwen.

Chapter 74 Battle Soul Douluo, Sword Domain

Even the level 78 Flying Silver Wolf was defeated, leaving only one Soul Saint by his side, whose soul power was only level 71 and who had just recently advanced to Soul Saint.

Ning Xingchen didn't have much experience fighting against Contra Douluos, but he was quite experienced in fighting Title Douluos.

For the past year and a half, in order to hone his skills, Ning Xingchen would fight Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo once or twice a month.

It wasn't that Ning Xingchen was looking for trouble, but rather that fighting stronger opponents would hone his skills.

Holding a long sword, Ning Xingchen confronted Tie Lang in the center of the square.

Iron Wolf roared loudly, and then his martial spirit possessed him.

His martial soul is the Iron-Bone Wolf. After the martial soul possessed him, his body became stronger, and his hands turned into wolf claws. The claws seemed to have turned to iron, making them look extremely terrifying.

"You don't use a martial spirit?" Tie Lang asked Ning Xingchen, puzzled.

Almost everyone who fights Ning Xingchen asks this question.

Ning Xingchen said, "As you wish."

As he spoke, Ning Xingchen drew his Star Sword, holding two swords in his hands.

"Two-handed sword?"

"Then let's fight."

With a powerful push, Iron Wolf arrived in front of Ning Xingchen in the blink of an eye, its sharp claws about to grab him.

Although Iron Wolf was fast, it was all within Ning Xingchen's control.

Both hands drew their swords almost simultaneously.

Attack from different directions.
