Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 437 Defeat
The battle between Du Huang, the sect leader of the Body Sect, and Xu Chenhuan, the sect leader of the Star Crown Sect, lasted for more than an hour.

The story ends with Du Huang using Xu Chenhuan as a punching bag and brutally beating him from beginning to end.

The reason it ended wasn't because Xu Chenhuan voluntarily admitted defeat, but because Du Huang had fought for so long that his vital energy hadn't been depleted because of his Golden Body, but his Asura Divine Power was almost completely exhausted.

Although Du Huang was confident enough in his current physical strength, what if there were a way to break through his physical defenses?

Of course, he wasn't referring to Xu Chenhuan, but rather to the two from Tiandou.

After all, if this old man really had that ability, he would have used it already, and he wouldn't have been beaten from beginning to end.

Therefore, it is still very necessary to retain a portion of the Asura God's power as a precaution.

On the high walls of the fortress, Lin Rong, who was eating melons, noticed that Du Huang was looking at him, so he spoke before Du Huang could:
“Your Body Sect is a hidden sect of the Heaven Dou Empire, and should rightfully be my subordinate.”

"But now that you have become a god, you must be unwilling to be subordinate to anyone."

"I can also tell you very clearly that there will only ever be one master of the Heavenly Battle."

"Poisonous Emperor, if you are willing to submit, I welcome you. But if you are not, then take your Body Sect and get out of the territory of the Heavenly Dou Empire."

"You can choose to settle in the Star Luo Empire, but that is a place I want to conquer. If you choose to settle in the Star Luo Empire, then you will have to make the same choice again sooner or later."

"In addition, you can also choose to leave Douluo Continent and find an island in the vast sea to settle down, making the Body Sect a true secluded sect, and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world."

"If you are not satisfied with these two options and believe you have the ability to create a third option, you might as well give it a try."

This choice infuriated the members of the Body Sect, who gathered around Du Huang and chattered incessantly.

"enough."

After a few seconds of silence, Du Huang said something indifferently.

Intimidated by the sect leader's imposing presence, the members of the Body Sect immediately shut their mouths like quails tucking their necks in.

Seeing this, Du Huang looked around at the group and said, word by word:

"From this day forward, the Body Sect will leave its ancestral home and relocate to the Star Luo Empire."

After saying that, disregarding the extreme shock of the Body Sect members, he led them away from the border fortress.

Although the Rakshasa God's thoughts had been preventing him from inheriting the position of the Asura God, what he was shown could not be faked.

Just from the age, cultivation level, and strength of the new emperor of Tiandou, one can tell how powerful the otherworldly inheritance he possesses is.

That's bad enough, but the other party also possessed the inheritance of another person from another world named Tang San.

Different world.

Du Huang couldn't imagine what kind of existence the other world was. It seemed that all visitors from the other world carried a legacy that was unimaginable in their own world.

Although there were only two visitors from the other world, Lin Rong and Tang San.

This is why Du Huang is extremely wary of Lin Rong, who possesses the inheritance of two other worlds. The methods of other worlds are varied and unpredictable; what if there are methods specifically designed to target him?

Lin Rong was somewhat surprised by Du Huang's choice.

He had assumed that even if Poison Emperor ultimately chose to move the Body Sect away from the Heaven Dou Empire, he would still choose to fight him before that.

The thought that the other party had inherited the position of the Asura God gave Lin Rong a clue as to the reason behind the matter.

"In the original novel, the Sea God was able to show Qian Renxue's inheritance test to Tang San as if it were a pornographic film. After Bibi Dong inherited the Rakshasa God's position, she should be able to do something similar with her source of power."

"Poisonous Blade probably learned of my strength through this method, which is why he chose to back down." With one of the two gods gone, only Xu Chenhuan remained.

Although he didn't have a continent-wide monitor like the Rakshasa Divine Sense to report the situation outside to him, he was not without self-awareness, since even the powerful Sect Master of the Body Sect chose to back down. So after the Rakshasa Divine Sense left, he quietly slipped away without saying a word.

Similarly, without the mainland broadcasting device, he was unaware that the two gods of the Spirit Hall, who had defeated the Golden Crocodile and the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong, had already perished.

At this moment, Xu Chenhuan was still fantasizing about joining forces with the two gods, Jin E and Bibi Dong, to get back at them.

There was just one thing he couldn't understand.

Tian Dou and Xing Luo were both top-tier god-level combatants before this. After he and Du Huang became gods, they each belonged to two different empires, turning it into a three-on-three battle.

But now that the new emperor of Tiandou has expelled such a powerful god-level warrior as Du Huang from the empire, it's no different from crippling himself.

This operation turns a three-on-three situation into a two-on-four situation.

"Could it be that the new emperor of Tiandou is a power-hungry person?"

Xu Chenhuan managed to come up with a plausible reason.

……

A few days later.

Rumors spread across the continent that one of the two gods of the Spirit Hall, the War God Golden Crocodile, had supposedly perished.

The night raid on the border fortress that day saw the God of War, Golden Crocodile, confront the Heavenly Emperor, and there has been no news since then, so this rumor is quite credible.

When the rumors reached Xu Chenhuan's ears, he was preparing to replace the Xingluo royal family's Dai family with the Xingguan Xu family.

"That old bastard Golden Crocodile is dead?"

Upon hearing this news, Xu Chenhuan was completely stunned.

With one of the two gods of the Spirit Hall suspected to have fallen, one of the four gods of the Star Luo Sect is gone, leaving only three.

One Pope of the Spirit Hall, one Sect Master of the Body Sect, and finally himself.

"It's good that they died. Four against two, we have the advantage. Three against two, we still have the advantage."

"Moreover, the Spirit Hall, with only one god remaining, is unable to suppress my Star Crown Sect and Body Sect. The Star Luo Empire is showing signs of a separation of powers."

Although Xu Chenhuan and Jin E were of the same generation, they were not close friends. Even if they were, they would only show sadness at most. When it came to the interests of the sect, even the deepest friendship had to give way.

"With such a big deal as the old man's death, the Pope from the Spirit Hall who is currently in seclusion should be appearing soon."

He was completely unaware that the Pope of the Spirit Hall he had spoken of had already gone to hell to join the Golden Crocodile.

At this moment, he was still focusing his energy on replacing the Star Luo royal family.

While such a thing can achieve the desired result through absolute force, doing so carries many hidden dangers and would also lack a legitimate basis for action.

Otherwise, the Spirit Hall wouldn't have forced the Dai family prince to marry the daughter of a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall in order to indirectly seize imperial power.

However, the Spirit Hall cannot break ties because it does not belong to the Star Luo Empire.

However, the Star Crown Sect is different. It is a hidden sect of the Star Luo Empire and a part of the Star Luo Empire. In the Star Luo Empire, which values ​​individual martial prowess, it has the qualifications to compete for the royal family.

Therefore, seizing the throne of the Star Luo royal family does not require as much trouble as the Spirit Hall; absolute force is all that is needed to take over the throne of the Dai family royal family.
