Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 216: Worried Ye Xinglan, Galaxy Sword Curtain

"Siduo, why is your face so red? Did you get hurt when you absorbed the soul bone?"

Ye Xinglan, who had just absorbed the external soul bone, opened her eyes and saw Wu Siduo, with a flushed face, leaning against a big tree in front of her.

Ye Xinglan's tone was full of worry, fearing that something might happen to his good friend.

She quickly stood up, came to Wu Siduo's side, put her little hand on her smooth forehead, and looked panicked.

"Where is Brother Qi Tian? Why can't I see Brother Qi Tian?"

Ye Xinglan herself had no idea what Wu Siduo was feeling at the moment. When she was at a loss, she subconsciously thought of Qiangu Qitian.

Wu Siduo grabbed Ye Xinglan's hand on her forehead, and said with an indescribable shyness:
"Xinglan, I, I'm fine."

"You still say it's okay, your forehead is so hot."

Ye Xinglan's tone was anxious, and he even seemed to blame Wu Siduo for not taking responsibility for her own body.

"You wait here, I'm going to go find Brother Qi Tian."

Having said that, Ye Xinglan wanted to go look for Qiangu Qitian.

Wu Siduo wanted to hold Ye Xinglan back, but her body felt so weak that she couldn't use any strength.

She also didn't expect that the method was actually true.

What Ye Xinglan saw in Wu Siduo now was the result of her taking a long time to calm down.

Looking at Ye Xinglan's departing back, Wu Siduo leaned lazily against a big tree, closed her eyes gently, and no longer thought about her troubles.

"I must become as powerful as her..."

Thinking of this, a sweet smile emerged on Wu Siduo's lips, and two small dimples appeared on her cheeks, which was very charming.

Ye Xinglan just turned a corner and met Qiangu Qitian who had returned.

Seeing Ye Xinglan's anxious look, Qiangu Qitian asked with some doubt:

"Xinglan, what's wrong?"

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any danger on this Devil's Island.

As soon as he asked this question, Qiangu Qitian suddenly realized something. Considering that the only person coming now was Ye Xinglan, everything made sense.

The confusion on Qiangu Qitian's face disappeared, and he returned to his usual calm and composed self.

When Ye Xinglan saw Qiangu Qitian, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She pulled Qiangu Qitian's arm and said quickly:
"Brother Qitian, something happened to Siduo. You should go back and take a look."

Qiangu Qitian: ...

This is indeed the case.

How could Wu Siduo become like that? As the person involved, wouldn’t he know the reason?

He didn't want to lie to Ye Xinglan, but he didn't know how to explain it to her.

Therefore, Qiangu Qitian had to comfort him first:
"It's okay, Xinglan. I was here just now. Siduo is fine."

"Really?"

Ye Xinglan was a little suspicious, but her heart told her that her elder brother Qi Tian would never lie to her.

Qiangu Qitian held Ye Xinglan in his arms and began to comfort the little girl with ease:
"Really, if you're worried, let's go back and check again."

As he said that, Qiangu Qitian picked up Ye Xinglan and walked towards the camp.

Feeling the aura coming from Qiangu Qitian, Ye Xinglan relaxed completely.

After the tension came a feeling of fatigue, so Ye Xinglan leaned on Qiangu Qitian's shoulder and took a short rest.

When Qiangu Qitian and Ye Xinglan appeared together, Wu Siduo also opened her eyes slightly.

Qiangu Qitian gently placed Ye Xinglan next to Wu Siduo. Ye Xinglan, who had rested for a while, was awakened by this slight movement.

In front of Ye Xinglan, Qiangu Qitian pretended to check it out - because there was really nothing wrong.

"Okay, Xinglan, Siduo is just a little tired. She just needs to rest for a while."

Hearing this, Ye Xinglan felt completely relieved.

Wu Siduo couldn't help feeling a little guilty when she saw Ye Xinglan, who had been worried about her for so long.

She had no intention of hiding this matter from Ye Xinglan. After all, they were "good comrades" and good sisters standing on the same front.

But obviously she could only confess this to Ye Xinglan secretly at night. This would give herself some buffer time and also give Ye Xinglan some time to accept it.

"Good Xinglan, thank you."

Wu Siduo hugged Ye Xinglan's slender yet powerful waist and said sincerely.

Ye Xinglan chuckled:
"It's okay, as long as you're okay, it's okay."

What a little fool.

Qiangu Qitian shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"By the way, Brother Qitian, Siduo, do you want to know what kind of soul skill that external soul bone gave me?"

Ye Xinglan couldn't wait to share it with the people close to him.

"What is it?"

Wu Siduo really wanted to know how powerful a hundred thousand year level external soul bone would be.

Ye Xinglan didn't intend to keep the secret, she simply stood up and walked a few meters away from Qiangu Qitian and Wu Siduo.

Apparently, she was not prepared to describe her soul skills in words, but decided to demonstrate them.

She had her back to the two of them, and a silhouette appeared on the transparent sword pattern on her forehead. A ray of bright starlight added color to the originally transparent sword body.

Ye Xinglan's entire body seemed transparent, floating in the air, appearing and disappearing.

At this moment, the pair of azure blue eyes turned into the twinkling starlight on the forehead, and the whole person seemed to be integrated with the sword pattern named Tongming.

Qiangu Qitian carefully felt the energy fluctuations emanating from Ye Xinglan, and soon he came to a conclusion.

"The unity of man and sword..."

Qiangu Qitian had not expected that Ye Xinglan had only fused an external soul bone, but her attainments in swordsmanship had already surpassed ninety-nine percent of the existence in this world.

Sword spirit masters, or spirit masters who use swords as a means of attack, are not uncommon on the mainland.

Even still occupy the majority of existence.

Swords are the preferred weapons for most beast spirit masters to match their battle armor, because they are much easier to learn than other weapons.

But the difficulty of practicing all weapons to a higher level is undoubtedly similar.

There are quite a few who can comprehend the meaning of sword, and some even reach the second level of agility and the third level of solidity, but they are not many.

Even though the fourth level of human-sword integration is extremely rare, there are still people who can reach this level.

But there has never been anyone as young as Ye Xinglan who has reached the fourth level of artistic conception. The state of unity of man and gun that Gu Yuena had previously displayed was also a fake. (Set in 163)

But Ye Xinglan is the real deal!
A hundred thousand year old soul bone can achieve this, how terrifying!
In addition, Qiangu Qitian also discovered that Ye Xinglan in this state seemed... impossible to lock.

Qiangu Qitian tried to use his mental power to capture Ye Xinglan's existence, and even used the power of time and space elements, but he found that Ye Xinglan in his current state was on the boundary between reality and illusion. He could be seen but not touched. He existed and did not exist at the same time. It was very magical.

"I am looking forward to the power of this sword..."

The bonus brought by absorbing soul bones alone is so great, so how terrifying is the power of this sword!
Finally, Ye Xinglan’s accumulation of strength was completed.

Qiangu Qitian couldn't help but raise his head and look at the dim sky.

Because he felt a strong energy fluctuation from there.

Wu Siduo also imitated Qiangu Qitian's movements and cast a curious gaze towards the dark night sky.

Suddenly, tiny spots of light appeared in the dark night sky, so small that even Qiangu Qitian could hardly see them.

But not long after, those spots of light quickly enlarged in Qiangu Qitian's sight, and the previous dots of starlight became more numerous.

One, two, three...

Finally, it's a piece.

All the starlight gathered together to form a wide silver waterfall falling from the sky.

In addition to starlight, there are also countless sword intentions flowing in this waterfall.

The silver sword waterfall cascaded down, reflecting a dazzling brilliance in the sea not far away!
External soul bone soul skill——Galaxy Sword Curtain.

"The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns..."

Seeing such a scene, Qiangu Qitian couldn't help but think of a line of poetry he had seen in his previous life.

Just change the word "Yellow River" to "Milky Way".

Of course, the starlight only lasted for a second and was gone in an instant, just like a brilliant firework.

For Ye Xinglan, a Soul Master, to be able to perform such a heaven-defying soul skill for just one second is already enough to defy the heavens.

After performing her soul skill, Ye Xinglan directly broke away from the state of unity between man and sword. That move just now had directly drained all her energy, not even a drop was left.

Qiangu Qitian was quick-witted and quick-handed. He caught the girl and held her in his arms. Life energy continuously flowed through Qiangu Qitian's palm and into the girl's body, restoring her energy.

With the infusion of Qiangu Qitian's huge life energy, Ye Xinglan quickly recovered from his extremely weak state.

She lay in Qiangu Qitian's arms and happily introduced her soul skills:

"My move is called Galaxy Sword Curtain. It was not given to me directly by Tongming. Instead, it brought me to the Star God Sword, and I found it myself in a bright starry sky. This move is very gorgeous, and the damage is also terrifying. With my current soul power, if I fight against an ordinary Soul Saint who has no vigilance, I have the confidence to kill the opponent instantly."

"But—at night."

When Qiangu Qitian heard that Ye Xinglan could kill a Soul Saint in one second, his heart trembled.

An ordinary Soul Saint, that’s fine.

As for why there is a time limit, Qiangu Qitian can also understand it. During the day, the starlight is blocked by the sun, which has a certain limiting effect on Ye Xinglan's star power. The night sky belongs to the world of the moon and stars.

"Xinglan, you are awesome."

Wu Siduo was also happy for Ye Xinglan.

She originally felt guilty for obtaining two hundred thousand year spirit rings, but after seeing Ye Xinglan's transformation, she felt more balanced.

"That's not all." Ye Xinglan continued excitedly, "I'm already level 40! But unfortunately, the three spirit rings of my first spirit have been used up. If I want to advance, I have to go back and get another spirit from the Spirit Pagoda to become a Soul Sect Master."

Ye Xinglan was not worried that he would not be able to advance immediately and delay his cultivation.

Our predecessors have long proven that even if a soul master does not absorb soul rings, his soul power will still accumulate in his body, and he will be able to upgrade quickly after absorbing the soul rings.

Hearing this, Qiangu Qitian was prepared. He took out a soul storage device from Wushuang and handed it to Ye Xinglan:
"Xinglan, I have prepared it for you a long time ago. Find some time to absorb it."

Before coming, Qiangu Qitian knew the soul power of the two women. He estimated the approximate time. After speculating that Ye Xinglan might encounter such a situation, he prepared a thousand-year soul suitable for Ye Xinglan.

If they are willing to give away a hundred thousand year soul bone, then a thousand year soul is just a drop in the bucket, right?
As a warm-hearted man (or scumbag), it is reasonable for him to do everything in a comprehensive manner.

Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo were both stunned. They didn't expect Qiangu Qitian to be so thoughtful.

Girls are always moved by details one after another until they fall completely...

Ye Xinglan came back to her senses. She did not take the soul that Qiangu Qitian handed over to her. Instead, she stood on tiptoes and kissed Qiangu Qitian's lips.

Seeing this scene, Wu Siduo's cheeks couldn't help but turn red, and she remembered what she had done behind Ye Xinglan's back before.

While feeling guilty, Wu Siduo also felt an inexplicable pleasure...

Qiangu Qitian and Ye Xinglan's kiss ended with Ye Xinglan's rapid breathing.

After looking at Wu Siduo with some apology, Qiangu Qitian introduced the soul in his hand:

"The four thousand year old Sword Star Flower has petals that resemble swords and is born in the starlight. It is one of the most suitable souls for you."

But at this moment, Ye Xinglan didn't care at all about the type, quality, and age of the soul that Qiangu Qitian gave her.

She only knew that her elder brother Qi Tian was very good, very good...

Late at night.

Wu Siduo's Dark Demon Unicorn Dragon's trunk bone and Ye Xinglan's second soul were planned to be absorbed tomorrow, so now it was time to rest.

Dinner was simple, still grilled fish fillets made from the meat cut from the swordfish.

"Good night, Brother Qitian."

"Goodnight, my girls."

After watching Wu Siduo and Ye Xinglan enter the vine house, Qiangu Qitian also turned around and entered his own hut.

Qiangu Qitian, who had just laid down on the small bed woven with soft vines, had not yet closed his eyes when he felt a strange breath approaching.

Qiangu Qitian knew that a new old devil was coming.

It is impossible to say that I am not mentally tired at all.

The current Qiangu Qitian has not yet left the scope of human beings and still gets tired.

But to say that I was exhausted would be equally wrong.

No matter it was the trial and battle with the Nightmare Demon in the morning, or the protection of Wu Siduo and Ye Xinglan in the afternoon, the consumption was not too great for Qiangu Qitian, and he could still hold on.

And Qiangu Qitian didn’t think there was anything wrong with this.

After walking out of the vine house, Qiangu Qitian walked towards the direction of the breath he sensed.

Soon, he saw an extremely abstract face.

Qiangu Qitian swore that if it were not for the memory of the original work, the appearance of the person in front of him would be more convincing than saying that he was from a circus, rather than an old demon.
