Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 24 Red Dust Brothers and Sisters
"Sister Lexuan, you have no sportsmanship, you ambushed me."

Zhang Lexuan's sudden attack caught Xia Die completely off guard. If Xia Die hadn't reacted quickly, she would have fallen into Zhang Lexuan's trap.

"Excuse me, Ah Die, the sparring session is about to begin."

"Alright, Sister Lexuan, you need to be careful too. First Soul Skill: Nether Sea Flower - Bestowing Extreme Rift."

A sudden burst of intense purple light erupted from Xia Die's scythe, and the power of death began to spread. She swung her arm fiercely, and a moon blade, imbued with quantum mechanics and death, shot out from the sky. It was as if an unparalleled force from the heavens itself was unleashed, slashing towards Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan's Moon Blade also collided with Xia Die's Moon Blade. As for which attack was more powerful when the two attacks were combined, it was of course Xia Die's attack. If Zhang Lexuan had used the full power of a Soul Douluo, he would have had a hard time dealing with it.

The power she used to fight the Ice Emperor last time was the power of the echo of the destiny of the memory path, not her own power. However, with her current power, she could easily kill a Soul Douluo.

However, having a general understanding of his current strength, and disregarding the power of the memories within him, the Death Titan, the God of Death, and the Death Dragon Bolyces, his current strength is roughly equivalent to that of a Soul Douluo.

In the ensuing battle, the two forces collided, and Zhang Lexuan's power was initially absorbed by Xia Die's power, but in the sky, a rift was torn open.

Torn through the void?

Zhang Lexuan was shocked. This was the power unleashed by a five-ring Soul Master. To tear through the void was something only a Title Douluo or Super Douluo could achieve.

Before Zhang Lexuan could even react in surprise, a purple scythe slashed at her.

Zhang Lexuan blocked it in time with her moon blade.

"Sister Lexuan, being absent-minded is not a good habit."

The sound of the crescent blade colliding with the scythe rang out, a violent friction sound.

Sparks and lightning flashed during the collision, and with each impact, Zhang Lexuan felt as if she were hitting a massive boulder weighing a thousand pounds.

Just how powerful is this girl? It feels like her strength is even greater than that of some Soul Douluos or even Title Douluos.

At this moment, her second and third spirit rings shone brightly at the same time. First, a silver moonlight fell on her, surrounding her with light.

Immediately afterwards, another ray of moonlight shone on Xia Die.

Her second and third soul skills were also unleashed at the right time.

The second soul skill is called Moonlight Protection, which uses moonlight to form a defensive shield to resist most damage and increases the user's attack power by 10%.

The third soul skill, Moonlight Suppression, suppresses the strength of those exposed to moonlight. They are burned by the power of moonlight, reducing the power of their soul skills by 70% and their defense by 30%, and they are unable to move for ten seconds. This skill has a great suppressive effect on evil soul masters and dark attribute soul masters, and the time they are unable to move will be even longer.

This soul skill is good, but it has no effect on Xia Die because although her martial soul is of the death attribute, it does not fall within the scope of evil soul masters.

Evil spirit masters belong to the realm of evil, but not to the realm of death.

While Xia Die is unable to move, the restriction on others is ten seconds, but the restriction on Xia Die is only three seconds. Besides, what's the use of further reducing defense? Absolute attack is the only way to win. Why bother with defense?

The butterfly's figure disappeared again, swiftly slashing down on her head.

A crack appeared on Zhang Lexuan's shield, and Zhang Lexuan didn't even know what happened; it happened so fast that she didn't even have time to react.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Xia Die in disbelief; she was giving her more and more surprises.

Xia Die seemed to sense two auras, the power of which was only at the Soul King level.

It all started a few minutes ago.

"La la la la la la!"

A pure and lovely young girl hummed a song.

She had long, silver-white hair tied in pigtails that cascaded down her shoulders. Her face looked like a beautiful, blooming ice-blue lotus. She appeared to be about fourteen or fifteen years old. A blue bow was tied in her hair, and she wore a light blue dress that accentuated her youthful charm.

She had a pair of large, bright blue eyes, a straight nose, a slender waist, and skin as white as snow—a stunningly beautiful goddess.

And she is Meng Hongchen.

"Meng, you've sneaked out to play again."

A crisp, clear sound interrupted the girl's joyful mood.

"Brother, what brings you here again?"

"Alright, it's not me looking for you, it's Grandpa looking for you."

"Ok."

But suddenly, the silence was broken by a battle in the distance; it was naturally the sparring match between Xia Die and Zhang Lexuan.

Meng Hongchen was also drawn to the battle and said, "Brother, something interesting is happening over there. I'll go take a look."

“Dream, you…”

This is the scene at the beginning when Xia Die sensed Meng Hongchen's aura. Zhang Lexuan also sensed this aura, but neither party showed any hostility nor said anything further.

But the competition between Xia Die and her was not over yet, because Xia Die was giving Zhang Lexuan more and more surprises.

Xia Die's second soul ring lit up.

“The mournful cry falls like rain.”

At this moment, Xia Die swung her scythe, and raindrops fell like a meteor shower. This soul skill was Xia Die's second soul skill, which caused quantum attribute damage to people.

Although Zhang Lexuan's shield could withstand the attack, she suddenly became unable to move, leaving a flickering mark.

This state is quantum entanglement. For a moment, Zhang Lexuan forcibly broke free, but at the same time, her defense, speed, and agility decreased significantly.

Zhang Lexuan was also stumped by Xia Die's soul skills. The first soul skill tore through the void, and the second soul skill was a group attack, but she didn't know what effect it had on her. Her martial soul was directly frozen, and her body was as if petrified, so she couldn't use her soul skills at all.

Zhang Lexuan clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her fingertips gleaming with silver light. The crescent moon behind her instantly burst forth with dazzling light, like a bright lamp suddenly lit, illuminating the entire battlefield. With a slight movement of her fingertips, silver-white moon blades materialized from the void, carrying a chilling aura, and whistled as they slashed down towards Xia Die.

With a single slash of its scythe, Xia Die instantly tore through the void, and the moon blades pierced directly into the void rift.

Xiao Hongchen was also stunned. The girl, who looked to be only twelve years old, was able to tear through the void.

But soon, Xiao Hongchen was truly terrified by Xia Die's power.

Xia Die slowly focused her eyes, her slender hand touching the blade, and the scythe emitted a purple light.

Xia Die raised her hand from the blade, and purple blood slowly dripped onto the scythe. The power of death grew stronger, enveloping everything around her.

Xia Die slowly opened her eyes.

Xia Die swung her sword fiercely, unleashing a crescent-shaped blade that was dozens of times larger and higher than before. The blade was like a harvester, and anything that touched it withered away.

All life was extinguished by this blade. If the power of death is only this, then one of the Twins of the Other Shore, the daughter of the Titan of Death, is too much of a underestimate.

Zhang Lexuan's fifth spirit ring lit up, and the silver moonlight surged, transforming into a giant net shimmering with ancient runes. It collided with the blade of death; this was her fifth spirit skill, Silver Moon Net, a collision with the power of death, the moonlight and the power of death resonating with each other.

At this moment, the attacks from both sides became the scythe of death. Wherever the moonlight passed, trees in the forest were cut down, leaving only bare trunks standing in place, looking utterly desolate.

Where death affects, decay lingers for a moment.

However, Zhang Lexuan did not consume much soul power in the end. The death blade formed by mobilizing the exclusive power of the Golden Descendants was indeed a huge drain on her own energy.

Now that my soul power is almost depleted, it seems I need to become stronger. The reason I didn't use my fourth soul skill is that I will directly be pulled into the domain where the Death Dragon, Bolykes, is located.

"It seems I've lost, Sister Lexuan. I need to become stronger in the future." Xia Die put away her sickle, leaned against a tree with one hand, and panted heavily.

However, she could actually fight a protracted battle, but the soul skills of the five soul rings of her first martial soul consumed too much soul power, making it difficult to sustain a prolonged battle.

If you don't use your first martial soul, you can fight a protracted battle using your second martial soul.

Zhang Lexuan stepped forward, touched Xia Die's soft purple hair, and said, "Alright, I'm only relying on the fact that I'm three realms higher than you. Otherwise, I might not be your match. You surprised me a lot. It's hard to be your match among people of the same realm."

Xia Die stood up, looked in one direction, and said gently, "Your Excellencies, is it beautiful?"

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were discovered from the very beginning, and now they both look utterly shocked.

Anyway, Xiao Hongchen didn't know what she was thinking. Meng Hongchen stared intently at Xia Die's stunning beauty; she was so pretty and adorable.

Even if it were me, in her presence, I would be plain, beautiful, and unyielding.

"Hello, sister and little sister. My name is Xiao Hongchen, and this is my sister Meng Hongchen."

Zhang Lexuan said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Lexuan, and her name is Xia Die. I'm sorry that my sparring match attracted you."

"It's okay, it's my sister who was attracted to this place."

Xiao Hongchen was still shocked by the talents of these two. One was a five-ring Soul King at the age of twelve, while Zhang Lexuan was even more terrifying, already a Soul Douluo at the age of twenty-four.

Xiao Hongchen had a slight idea of ​​trying to win him over.

When Xia Die heard Xiao Hongchen's name, she fell into deep thought. She had originally planned to go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but now that he was here, it seemed easier for her.

"A very nice name."

Zhang Lexuan said with a smile, "It's alright, little brother and sister, where are you from and where are you going?"

Xiao Hongchen said, "We are students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and we need to go back."

From their conversation, it was learned that Zhang Lexuan and Xia Die were also planning to find an academy, but considering that all the entrance exams for academies had now ended, Xiao Hongchen invited them to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

In the next chapter, Zhang Lexuan will definitely meet Jing Hongchen, and she will also reunite with Kong Deming.
