Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 103: Encirclement and Suppression of Haotian Sect: Ending
As Meng Shu was thinking this, a ray of green lightning struck the fifth elder of Haotian Sect, who had no ability to resist.

"Who is it?" Meng Shu turned his head back angrily. When he saw who it was, his expression changed instantly. He asked in surprise:
"Sir, have you dealt with the elder of the Haotian Sect?"

While Lin Rong was collecting the soul guides left behind by the five elders of the Haotian Sect, he said:
"Nonsense! If that old guy wasn't dead, would he let me come over?"

"Also, you two have only completed half of this mission. Therefore, there is only one Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. You decide who to give it to!"

As he spoke, Lin Rong took out the right leg bone of a 33,000-year-old twin lotus and threw it to Meng Shu.

Meng Shu, who took over the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, suddenly felt regretful and disappeared like bubbles, and was replaced by endless joy.

"It doesn't matter if it's a piece or a piece. Fortunately, I made a desperate decision just now and delivered that attack that consumed a huge amount of soul power."

"Otherwise, if you deal with that useless Chang Haotian Sect Elder and we haven't solved any of our targets yet, we won't even be able to get the reward of a soul bone."

Meng Shu, smiling as brightly as a chrysanthemum, carefully put away the soul bone and sat on the ground with his wife Chao Tianxiang to recover their soul power.

After Lin Rong rewarded the soul bones, he came alone to the battlefield covered by the starry sky.

Because this place is shrouded by the starry sky, the two remaining elders of the Haotian Sect are still unaware of what is happening in the outside world.

So, when they saw Lin Rong appearing here, they thought that he was being chased by Lao Qi and could only flee here to seek the protection of this old man with unfathomable strength.

After seeing his young master, the old butler Yu Yuan immediately realized that his battle was the only one that had not been resolved in this valley.

"The spirit power of these two old guys from the Haotian Sect has been almost exhausted. Even if they want to die together, they don't have the ability to do it now."

"Now, it's time to end this battle."

After thinking about it, the ninth star that had been circling around him turned into a stream of light and disappeared, appearing beside the young master and protecting him.

Then, it seemed as if star-like bone marrow was flowing in his torso.

The starry sky echoed with it, and the starlight gathered together to condense into two drops of blue star dew.

This is one of the two soul bone skills of the ten thousand year nine-grade ginseng king's trunk bone: Condensing stars and casting jade!
The only two remaining elders of the Haotian Sect were each entangled by four stars and could only watch each other perform that unknown soul bone skill.

"Star-type martial souls, no matter what soul skills they have, are all so brilliant and dazzling."

Just as Lin Rong was sighing, the two drops of star dew had already penetrated the space and hit the bodies of the two elders of the Haotian Sect.

"Huh? Why is this spirit skill so ineffective..."

At first, the second elder and the third elder were puzzled about the effect of the spirit skill. However, before they could finish thinking about this, they discovered something wrong with their bodies.

Both their bodies and clothes were rapidly transforming into beautiful jade as transparent as stars.

Seeing this, they hurriedly circulated their soul power to fight against the jade-like power in their bodies.

However, the soul power of both of them had already been consumed too much in the previous battle; at this moment, there was very little soul power left in their bodies.

Faced with the overbearing power that penetrated into their bodies, this tiny bit of soul power could not shake it in the slightest.

At the last moment when the Second Elder's consciousness was about to fade away, a final thought flashed through his mind:
"Is this the end of my life? That's fine, as long as the sect still retains the spark of hope."

Afterwards, he, like the Third Elder, was completely transformed into a lifelike jade sculpture of a human.

The star-casting jade is different from Medusa's gaze.

The petrification effect caused by Medusa's gaze can be restored and reversed.

However, the jadeification caused by Condensed Star Jade is irreversible. Even if there are soul masters and soul beasts that can resist the effects of this soul skill, the part of the body that has been jadeified can only be cut off, and then the lost flesh and blood can be restored with the power similar to the regeneration of a broken limb.

Therefore, the two Haotian Sect elders in front of Lin Rong who had completely turned into jade carvings were confirmed to be dead.

The battle was over, and the old butler put away his true form of the star. The starry sky then dissipated, and the scene on the rocky beach reconnected with the valley.

"grown ups!"

Lin Rong was lamenting the two soul guides that had been turned into jade when he heard Dugu Bo's voice coming from above the clouds.

A few seconds later, Dugu Bo landed in the valley from the clouds and mist, came to Lin Rong's side, rubbed his hands and asked:
"Sir, I have successfully completed the mission. Do you think the reward for this mission can be redeemed?"

"Take it!"

Lin Rong guessed what Dugu Bo wanted to say before he spoke.

So before Dugu Bo finished speaking, he took out the 40,000-year-old left arm bone and threw it to him, and then instructed:
"Dugu Bo, I thought about it and realized that you completed the task too easily this time, so I'll give you another task."

"Do you see these two jade carvings? I want you to quietly deliver them to Tang Yuehua who is bedridden."

"If Tang Yuehua died of excessive grief, that would be the best. If not, you should know what to do!"

"Remember, this matter must be done cleanly. No traces related to us can be left, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the royal family."

jade carving?

Dugu Bo looked in the direction Lin Rong pointed, and two transparent white jade sculptures came into view.

"Is this petrification? Jadeification!" Dugu Bo walked forward to investigate, and couldn't help but be surprised:
"Damn! It has completely lost its life characteristics. It is much more powerful than my soul bone skill 'Medusa's Gaze'."

After putting the two jade carvings into the soul guide, Dugu Bo replied to Lin Rong:

"I understand. If Tang Yuehua didn't die from excessive grief, she had to use external force to make it look like she died of illness."

"This is not a difficult matter for me. My Lord, please rest assured and wait for the news of Tang Yuehua's death to spread in Tiandou City."

"Yeah." Lin Rong shook the two soul guides he got from the fourth and fifth elders of Haotian Sect and said casually:
"Get this done. When I have some free time later, I will have a big surprise for you."

The "huge surprise" he mentioned was to take Dugu Bo with him to destroy the Pozhi Clan. After he subdued Yang Wudi, he asked Yang Wudi to treat the poison in Dugu Bo's body.

But he could only do this after he reached level 60.

In order to make Yang Wudi convinced, he must be stronger than him in martial arts.

Although Lin Rong can beat him now, Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear has a sharp attribute, which happens to restrain the banyan tree roots of the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon.

The power of the first stage of Thunder Prison: Heavenly Punishment may not be able to defeat him, but the second stage of the Thunder Dragon's true form can do it.

But Yang Wudi would not allow the true form of the Thunder Dragon to condense smoothly.

At present, the banyan tree roots are unable to withstand the sharpness of the Soul-Breaking Spear in Yang Wudi's hand, and are unable to protect the Thunder Dragon's true form from condensing smoothly.

The only way to defeat Yang Wudi is to resort to a war of attrition, which is embarrassing.

But he, who has only five soul rings, cannot do that. After he breaks through level 60 and obtains the sixth soul ring, Lin Rong will be confident that he can defeat Yang Wudi head-on.

By then, he would be able to successfully subdue Yang Wudi by giving him a few rare herbs picked from the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, which were second only to immortal herbs.
