Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Shui Bing'er slowly woke up from her coma, and there was a blur of light and shadow in front of her eyes. She blinked, and her vision gradually became clear. She found herself lying in a simple but neat wooden house. The sun slanted in through the bamboo window lattices, weaving a fine golden net on the bluestone floor. The air was filled with the fragrance of pine wood and herbs. She tried to move her fingers, but her whole body felt as soft as if her bones and muscles were pulled out. Even breathing caused a fine pain in her chest.

"Bing'er, you're awake." A gentle voice came with the morning breeze. Shui Bing'er turned her head and saw Shi Yi sitting on a low stool made of rattan, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, his slender fingers twisting a piece of emerald dragon lily leaf. The light from the window cast a layer of light gold on his face, but it couldn't hide the faint green shadow under his eyes.

"Xiao Yi..." Shui Bing'er called softly, her voice a little hoarse. She tried to sit up, but felt weak all over, as if every bone had been drained of strength, and even raising her hands seemed difficult.

"Don't move. You overdrew your soul power that day. You should have a good rest now." Shi Yi quickly supported her and handed the dragon zhi leaves in his hand to her mouth. "Chew some of this first. Dragon zhi leaves have the effect of strengthening the body and replenishing the essence. It will help you recover your soul power."

Shui Bing'er nodded obediently and bit the dragon zhi leaf gently. The green leaf tasted slightly bitter, but soon, a warm current spread from her stomach and flowed along the meridians to her limbs. She felt her body gradually gain strength, and even the emptiness in her dantian was relieved a lot.

"How long... have I been unconscious?" Shui Bing'er asked in a low voice, her voice still a little weak.

"Three days." Shi Yi replied, with a hint of worry in his tone, "Luckily you passed the test successfully, otherwise I really don't know what I would do."

Shui Bing'er nodded, and the scene before she fell into coma emerged in her mind - the trident of Poseidon was shining with brilliant golden light in her hand, as if it had merged with her soul.

"Where is Zhuqing?" Shui Bing'er suddenly remembered and asked softly.

"She is practicing outside." Shi Yi said, his eyes fell on Shui Bing'er, with a hint of hesitation in his expression, as if he had something on his mind.

Shui Bing'er looked up at Shi Yi and found that his expression was a little complicated, as if he was about to say something but hesitated. She was moved and asked softly, "Xiao Yi, are you leaving?"

Shi Yi was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, saying softly: "I still have my own tests to complete."

Shi Yi's eyes flashed with worry. Poseidon's attitude was always unknown. Even though Shui Bing'er had passed the seventh test of the Seagod's Nine Tests, no one could say for sure whether Poseidon would have murderous intentions towards her like he did towards Tang San. After all, Shui Bing'er was not a descendant of Tang Chen, and Poseidon's attitude towards her might not be as tolerant as towards Tang San.

Shi Yi didn't dare to take this risk. He had to complete his test as soon as possible, solve the blood-red nine-headed bat king, and let Tang Chen regain consciousness. Only in this way could Poseidon see Tang Chen for the last time, willingly sacrifice himself for Shui Bing'er, and help her complete the inheritance of the Sea God.

"Go ahead if you're ready. Don't worry, Zhuqing and I will be waiting for you on the Sea God Island." Shui Bing'er said softly, with a hint of reluctance in her tone, but more of determination.

Shi Yi smiled slightly, reached out and held Shui Bing'er's hand, and said softly: "Bing'er, don't worry, I will be careful. Besides, I have made full preparations and will not take risks easily."

Shui Bing'er looked at Shi Yi's determined eyes. Although she was still worried, she knew that she couldn't change his decision. She asked in a low voice, "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning," Shi Yi replied, "I'll leave when you feel better."

Shui Bing'er was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, you must be careful and come back safely."

Shi Yi nodded solemnly and said, "I promise you, I will come back safely."

The salty sea breeze at night blew up their hair. She pressed her face against Shi Yi's warm chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat. In the distance, the waves hit the rocks, and the splashing water shattered into millions of stars under the moonlight.

"Aren't you going to tell Sister Bing'er?" Zhu Zhuqing leaned in Shi Yi's arms and said softly.

"I've already told Bing'er. Don't worry, Zhuqing, you just stay with Bing'er on Poseidon Island." Shi Yi gently stroked Zhu Zhuqing's long black hair and said softly.

Shi Yi looked at the dorsal fin of the Demon Soul Great White Shark looming on the horizon, and the mark of the Shura Demon Sword felt slightly hot between his eyebrows.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stood on tiptoe, and her soft lips blocked his unfinished words. The soul power fluctuations of the Nether Spirit Cat spread ripples in the night, and eight soul rings flickered under her feet.

"Um……"

Shi Yi looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was blushing, and said jokingly, "That's a good way to use your soul skills."

Zhu Zhuqing gave Shi Yi a glare, but the corner of his eyes was watching the Demon Soul Great White Shark in the picture not far away.

Ever since Tianmeng came into being, Zhu Zhuqing felt that there was no difference between soul beasts and humans.

The cry of the Demon Soul Great White Shark penetrated the clouds, as if urging Shi Yi. When Shi Yi was about to turn around, Zhu Zhuqing took out the Acacia Heartbroken Red from her soul guide and handed it to him.

Shi Yi looked at the gorgeous Acacia Heartbroken Red in front of him, and his eyes were filled with tenderness. He carefully put it into his soul guide, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing deeply and said softly, "Wait for me to come back."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but more of it was determination and trust. She said softly: "You must come back safely, Sister Bing'er and I will be waiting for you here."

Shi Yi didn't say anything else, just gently shook her hand, then turned and flew towards the Demon Soul Great White Shark not far away. His figure looked particularly tall and straight in the moonlight, like a sword drawn from its sheath, with an indomitable momentum.

Zhu Zhuqing stood there, watching his figure gradually disappear into the night. The sea breeze brushed across her cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. She looked up at the starry sky, silently praying in her heart that Shi Yi could successfully complete the mission and return safely.

At the same time, Shui Bing'er was lying in the wooden house, looking at the night sky through the bamboo window. Her heart was also filled with worry and expectation. She knew that Shi Yi's journey was extremely dangerous, but she believed in his strength and determination.

"Xiao Yi, you must come back safely." Shui Bing'er whispered softly, with a hint of determination in her eyes. She took a deep breath, feeling the soul power gradually recovering in her body, and secretly made up her mind to recover her strength as soon as possible, pass the test, and share the pressure for Shi Yi in the future.

Zhu Zhuqing returned to the cabin and gently opened the door. She saw Shui Bing'er lying quietly on the bed, looking out the window. She walked to the bed and said softly, "Sister Bing'er, Xiao Yi has already left."

Shui Bing'er nodded and responded softly: "I know. He will definitely come back safely."

Zhu Zhuqing sat beside the bed, holding Shui Binger's hand, and said softly: "We must also recover our strength as soon as possible, and give him a surprise when he comes back."

Shui Bing'er smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Yes, we must become stronger so that we can fight alongside him."

Shi Yi stood on the broad back of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, and the sea breeze whistled past, bringing a salty and bitter smell to his face. The Demon Soul Great White Shark was extremely fast, and the splashes of water when it broke through the waves sparkled silver in the moonlight, as if countless stars were jumping on the sea.

Shi Yi leaned forward slightly, and gently stroked the smooth skin of the Demon Soul Great White Shark with his palm, feeling the surging power in its body. The Demon Soul Great White Shark's low cry echoed on the sea, as if responding to his touch. Its dorsal fin cut through the water, leaving a long white wave mark, like a silver ribbon extending in the dark night.

The night sky was dotted with stars, and the moonlight sprinkled on the sea, reflecting a sparkling scene. Shi Yi looked up into the distance and could vaguely see the outline of Hanhai City looming in the night. The city was like a huge lighthouse, standing at the junction of the sea and the sky, emitting a faint light.

The speed of the Demon Soul Great White Shark gradually slowed down. Shi Yi felt its body sinking slightly, as if it was adjusting its direction. He took a deep breath, feeling the coolness brought by the sea breeze, but his heart was calm. He knew that he was almost back to the mainland. As the distance got closer, the outline of Hanhai City gradually became clear. The towering city walls looked particularly majestic under the moonlight, and the runes inlaid on the city walls flickered faintly in the night. The lights in the city were dotted, like the stars in the night sky, giving people a warm and peaceful feeling.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark stopped in the sea not far from Hanhai City, and the low cry sounded again, as if saying goodbye to Shi Yi. Shi Yi gently patted its back and whispered: "Thank you, you have worked hard all the way."

The Demon Soul Great White Shark swung its tail slightly, splashing water, and then slowly sank into the sea, disappearing into the deep seabed. Shi Yi stood on the sea, his right leg soul bone flashing, holding his body steadily, and then slowly flew towards the direction of Hanhai City.

A few days later, Shi Yi stood at the entrance of the killing town. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and decay. The town seemed to be forgotten by time. The buildings on both sides of the street were dilapidated, and the walls were covered with dried blood and scratches from swords.

Shi Yi took a deep breath, then walked towards the tavern in the center of the town.

Pushing open the door of the tavern, the noise instantly flooded into my ears. The tavern was filled with people of all kinds, their eyes full of greed and murderous intent. Shi Yi's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and several malicious eyes fell on him.

"New here?" A big man with a face full of flesh stood up, blocked in front of Shi Yi, and sneered, "Boy, this is not the place for you to come."

Shi Yi ignored him and walked straight to the bar. Seeing this, the big man's eyes flashed with anger, and he reached out to grab Shi Yi's shoulder. However, before his hand touched Shi Yi, he was shaken away by a powerful soul force, and the whole person flew backwards and hit the wall heavily.

The tavern instantly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shi Yi. Shi Yi ignored their gazes, and the murderous intent in his body instantly swept the entire tavern, and then he whispered to the bartender: "Open the mechanism and let me in."

The bartender glanced at Shi Yi with awe in his eyes, and then opened the old-fashioned mechanism at the bar.

Shi Yi looked at the dark pit and jumped down. Although the people who came to the tavern to accept the test wanted to follow Shi Yi in, the murderous intent that Shi Yi showed just now did not dare to let them make any move.

Shi Yi walked quietly in the dark passage. He walked along the passage with a calm heart.

Walking out of the passage, Shi Yi came to the entrance of the City of Slaughter. A familiar figure appeared in front of Shi Yi.

"I was wondering who broke the rules today and entered the city of slaughter. It turns out that you don't want to kill me." The woman in black veil bowed to Shi Yi, still revealing her proud cleavage.

"Can you take me to see the King of Slaughter?" Shi Yi chuckled as he looked at the woman in black veil.

"Oh? Are you here to see the master again?" The woman in black veil looked at Shi Yi and smiled meaningfully.

"It seems they have been here. However, I am not them. I am here to deal with your master." Shi Yi said with a smile.

The black-veiled woman's expression changed, and she said, "Don't kill me. Even if you are the God of Killing, you can't be disrespectful to the master!"

"Really?" Shi Yi looked at the woman in black veil and chuckled, "Then let me put it another way. I want to be the master of this city of slaughter."

The moment Shi Yi finished speaking, he felt a blood-red figure rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.

Wujian appeared in Shi Yi's hand in an instant. Shi Yi faced the sudden attack without changing his expression. At the moment when the blood-red figure appeared, Shi Yi suddenly swung the Wujian in his hand with a force as powerful as thunder, as if to tear the world apart.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the sword body and the sharp claws collided with each other, and a strong energy wave burst out in the air. The woman in black veil was instantly blown away by this strong energy wave. For a moment, the two of them were in a stalemate.

"Tang Chen" looked at Shi Yi with a solemn look in his eyes. He could clearly feel that although Shi Yi's murderous intent was not as strong as his, it was incomparably pure. He immediately understood what was going on.

"Are you also a tester?" The King of Slaughter looked at Shi Yi and said in a deep voice.

Shi Yi didn't say anything, but slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and the magic sword mark between his eyebrows suddenly lit up.

"Tang Chen" thought to himself that something was wrong. Tang Chen was originally influenced by Rakshasa's evil thoughts, which gave it an opportunity to take advantage of. In an instant, it understood that Shi Yi wanted to use the power of Shura to awaken Tang Chen in its body.

The sharp claws instantly broke through Shi Yi's defense, and he stood in the air with his wings spread, the blood-red murderous aura on his body almost becoming tangible.

The blood-red murderous aura condensed into blood-red rain, and every drop of blood that fell burned green smoke on Shi Yi's skin. The bat wings of the King of Slaughter covered half of the sky, and nine bat heads squirmed between the wing membranes, spewing out scarlet mist that was melting the ground into a sticky blood swamp.

"Your blood will be the best sacrifice." The voice of the King of Slaughter echoed three times, and the claws in his hands suddenly split into nine blood shadows. Shi Yi rolled sideways, and a gully ten meters deep exploded where he was standing, and the flying gravel was crushed into powder by the claws in mid-air.

"Teleport!"

Shi Yi held Wujian in his hand and rushed forward on the blood swamp that had not yet solidified. The moment the sword tip collided with the blood shadow, the blood bursting from his knuckles was swallowed by the blood-red breath, and dark gold lines climbed up his arm along the hilt. The King of Slaughter laughed strangely, and the fourth bat head suddenly expanded and sprayed out sticky sound waves - that was an infrasound attack that could shatter bones.

"Can't hide!"

Shi Yi's eardrums instantly oozed blood, but he used the trajectory of the sound wave vibration to stab in the opposite direction. The moment Wu Jian instantly pierced into the bat wing, a terrifying suction force suddenly came from the sword body, and the wound of the King of Killing turned into a vortex, twisting Shi Yi's entire right arm into a maze of flesh and blood. Countless bat teeth burst out from the inside of the wound, and the gnawing sound was mixed with the crisp sound of metal collision.

"Invincible Golden Body!"

"Shura Demon Light!" Shi Yi screamed, and a blood-red light shot out from his forehead and exploded. The King of Slaughter screamed in pain, and his bat wings spurted out smelly pus and blood. Shi Yi, who had broken free from his restraints, stumbled back. Even though Shi Yi used the invincible golden body on his right arm, many fine wounds appeared on his right arm.

The wounds of the King of Slaughter were healing quickly, and the blood on the ground was boiling and rushing towards his broken body. "Not bad, you are stronger than the two killing gods of Haotian Sect, but it's useless." The fifth head behind him opened his vertical pupils, "In this killing city, as long as there is blood food, I am immortal."

Six blood shadows suddenly shot out from Shi Yi's shadow, piercing through his shoulders, waist, abdomen and thighs.

The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone emitted a strong light, and Shi Yi half-knelt on the ground, coughing up blood. He barely supported his body by inserting Wu Jian into the ground. The concussion of the eardrum made his brain dizzy, but he still clearly saw a trace of unnaturalness on the face of the King of Slaughter - he understood that it was a sign that Tang Chen was about to wake up.

Shi Yiqiang raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of purple, and suddenly used his soul power to vibrate his vocal cords, "Tang Chen! Poseidon has been waiting for you for sixty years!"

Shi Yi's every word carried a strong mental force. The bat wings of the King of Slaughter twitched violently, and Tang Chen covered his head, his expression changing again and again.

Now! Shi Yi swallowed the Acacia Heartbroken Red instantly, and with the powerful drug's support, the blood-red eighth soul ring lit up instantly. (End of this chapter)
