Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 43 Li Zhexian's Death Remains Unknown, Heavenly Dou City Under Chaos

"Roar--!"

Zhao Wuji's roar shattered the ice seal.

The five-meter-tall Martial Soul True Body galloped through the forest, its boundless soul power like an out-of-control raging tide, repeatedly washing over every inch of the land.

"Where can you escape to in such a short time?!"

He swept over broken branches and logs, and muddy potholes.

No!

still none!

Not a trace of it could be detected!

At this time.

The rain gradually subsided.

A pale, bluish-gray hue appeared on the horizon.

This made Zhao Wuji even more anxious.

No matter how he tried to activate his soul power to perceive it.

Li Zhexian's aura vanished completely, as if evaporated from the face of the earth.

"That kid has an 80% chance of dying if he gets scratched by my Martial Soul True Body!"

"But I can't gamble..."

"This child is too monstrous!"
"He must not be allowed to live!"

The intention to kill was made up.

He no longer tries to sense things in vain.

They then began the most savage destruction.

Boom boom boom——!
The giant fist crashed down like a meteorite.

Rows of trees were broken.

The ground was ripped up by the violent force, creating a series of deep craters.

He wanted to turn this entire area upside down, digging three feet into the ground to find Li Zhexian.

The roar shattered the tranquility of the early morning.

Without the cover of the night rain.

Such noises were especially jarring under the gradually brightening sky.

In the distance, the faint sounds of footsteps and voices could be heard.

Zhao Wuji's massive body suddenly stopped, and his expression turned extremely ugly.

"Damn it!"

He remembered Qin Ming's reminder.

Li Zhexian was a man with a wide circle of friends!

Don't stay here for long.

Zhao Wuji dispelled his Martial Soul True Form, and his burly figure disappeared into the depths of the dilapidated forest.

He must immediately take Ma Hongjun and flee to Tiandou City.

Tiandou Palace.

Xue Qinghe, who hadn't slept well the night before, had just finished the Crown Prince's morning lessons.

Walking beneath the towering red walls.

At this moment, she was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

But then I thought about going to Lotus Lake later.

Having dinner with that jerk made her feel good again.

"We need to get back to the palace quickly."

It rained heavily all night last night.

It made the weather so hot and humid, like a steamer.

She needed to go back and wash up before taking the Three Immortals Chicken to her appointment.

That bastard can be picky about his tastes.

You can taste whether the chicken has been steamed for too long or too short.

Thinking to himself, Xue Qinghe's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile.

The Crown Prince's bedroom.

Xue Qinghe wiped her long hair; although she was still dressed as a man, a breathtakingly beautiful softness could be seen in her.

And just then.

The serpent spear swept over with a gloomy expression, glanced at Xue Qinghe, and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Young Master, there is some news that you must... remain calm upon hearing it."

"Ok?"

Xue Qinghe paused in the act of wiping her hair.

A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in my heart.

"explain."

"Last night, a battle between Soul Masters took place in the eastern suburbs. Judging from their aura, they were probably at the Soul Saint level."

"Eastern suburbs..."

Xue Qinghe's body suddenly stiffened.

She immediately understood the meaning behind the spear's words.

The eastern suburbs—that was Li Zhexian's residence.

“Li…Li the Immortal…where is he?”

"There's a faint smell of blood at the scene. Li Zhexian... has disappeared."

The color drained completely from Xue Qinghe's face.

She swayed three times before grabbing the corner of the table behind her to steady herself.

call--!
Xue Qinghe vanished in a flash.

Ignoring the fact that her hair was disheveled and she was only wearing silk stockings, she rushed out of the palace.

Far away.

A chilling sound pierced the ears of the serpent spear.

"Seal off the entire city!"

"No one is allowed to leave!"

Dugu Mansion.

back kitchen.

Dugu Yan was tending a pot of soup.

Every now and then, pick up a little powder and sprinkle it in.

The kitchen staff watching were terrified.

Miss Dugu has never cooked before, so don't confuse cooking with making poison.

Just then, the maids who had gone out to buy groceries returned.

They didn't notice Dugu Yan, and were excitedly discussing among themselves:

"You haven't heard? Last night, a fight broke out between Soul Masters in the eastern suburbs!"

"Oh dear, I heard there's been a river of blood, arms and legs everywhere!"

"Tsk tsk, and it was a teenager who died, what a tragic death!"

pat-

The spoon fell to the ground.

Dugu Yan slowly turned around, and the emerald green that had disappeared in the depths of her pupils glowed faintly again as she stared coldly at the servants who were speaking.

"What...did you say?"

The servants were then startled and hurriedly knelt down in worship.

"Miss Dugu!"

"You just said...where...was there...a battle between Soul Masters?"

"The city... the eastern suburbs, Miss, died a terrible death..."

The servant woman hadn't finished speaking.

Dugu Yan rushed out of the kitchen like a gust of wind.

Dugu Bo, who was meditating in the courtyard, saw her in such a state and asked in confusion:
"Yanyan, what happened?"

Dugu Yan gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice:
"Li Zhexian...something has happened!"

"what?!"

Ye Mansion.

"Mother! Come with me!"

Ye Lingling was completely different from her usual quiet and gentle self.

He practically grabbed his mother, Madam Ye's hand, and ran out of the mansion without saying a word.

A hint of surprise flashed across Ye's mother's dignified and aloof face.

This was the first time she had ever seen her daughter so out of control.

"Lingling, how can a young lady behave so disrespectfully?"

Ye's mother frowned.

"Could it be that Li Bai, the banished immortal, has a fondness for boorish women?"

"Mother!"

Ye Lingling's azure eyes were already brimming with tears, and her voice was trembling with sobs.

"Li Zhexian...it seems something has happened to him!"

"Um?!"

Madam Ye's expression changed drastically.

She grabbed her daughter's wrist with her other hand and walked three steps faster than Ye Lingling.

"What happened? Tell me on the way!"

Suburbs of Dongcheng.

That elegant little courtyard nestled against the woods...

Perhaps, it can no longer be called an "institute" at this moment.

Looking around, bricks, tiles, and wooden beams were scattered all over the ground, with broken walls, scorched earth, and deep pits everywhere.

Even last night's torrential rain couldn't completely wash away the faint smell of blood in the air.

This shows how fierce the battle was last night.

The ruins were surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

A squad of royal guards strode in and sternly ordered the area cleared.

Xue Qinghe kept a straight face.

Step by step, I entered this once-familiar courtyard.

The devastation that greeted her eyes drained the last trace of color from her already pale face.

Her steps were heavy and slow.

His gaze swept over the broken brick walls, the overturned soil, and the scorched pits inch by inch...

She carried an almost cautious fear.

She was afraid of not finding that familiar figure, and even more afraid... of seeing a scene she couldn't bear.

at this time.

Another commotion broke out on the periphery.

Dugu Bo, accompanied by Dugu Yan who exuded a cold and fierce aura, and Madam Ye, holding the tearful Ye Lingling, arrived almost simultaneously.

The four witnessed the horrific scene before them.

The air froze instantly, creating a suffocating atmosphere.

"Who...who did this...?"

Dugu Yan's delicate body trembled, and patches of blue scales appeared on her neck.

Ye Lingling's azure eyes lost focus.

"The most urgent task now is to find the banished immortal."

Dugu Bo's gaze was cold and sinister.

Li Zhexian had done a great favor for the Dugu family.

He is not someone who is ungrateful.

If Li Zhexian was truly murdered.

He, Poison Douluo, will make that guy understand what it means to be worse than dead.

Madam Ye clenched her fists tightly, and a chilling frost crept onto her elegant face.

"Investigate! Utilize all of the Ye family's resources in Tiandou City! Dig three feet into the ground, find Li Zhexian!"

Li Zhexian is the hope for the Ye family's Nine Heart Begonia to surpass the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda.

She wouldn't allow anything to happen to Li Zhexian.

Xue Qinghe stood silently in the center of the ruins.

Her face was eerily calm.

However, at that moment, her eyes suddenly trembled.

Her gaze.

Nailed under a piece of broken tile—

There, lying quietly, is a familiar umbrella.

The umbrella was torn, the bones were broken, and it was covered in mud.

It was yesterday...

The one she personally gave to Li Zhexian.

It's still past midnight today, tonight~~
Thank you, dear readers!
