Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 228 Rescue
On the highest battlement, besides the city defense generals, there were several figures with profound and unfathomable auras, standing with their hands behind their backs, silently watching the increasingly intense fluctuations of soul power in the distant forest.

In the distant woods, blinding lightning flashed intermittently, accompanied by violent roars and raging soul power fluctuations, clearly indicating an extremely fierce life-or-death battle was taking place.

With his superhuman eyesight, Yin Chen clearly recognized one of the figures on the city wall as Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, also known as "Bright Phoenix Douluo".

Beside Yan Shaozhe stood a disheveled old man, gnawing on a greasy chicken leg. His distinctive appearance could only be matched by Xuanzi, the "Gluttonous Douluo."

Even the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were alarmed.

"Let's go, let's go help out."

Yin Chen only pondered for a moment before making a decision.

His first reaction was to watch the show, but when he saw Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi, he immediately changed his mind.

With the academy's disciples sending out the highest level of distress signal, and even the dean and elders paying close attention, what would Yan Shaozhe and the others think if he, as a leading figure among the core disciples of the outer academy, simply stood by and watched the show without taking any action?
Either don't come at all, or if you're here, you absolutely can't just stand by and do nothing.

This is not only to do Huo Yuhao a huge favor, but also to maintain and solidify his perfect persona of having both outstanding talent and character.

Gu Yuena was incredibly intelligent and immediately understood Yin Chen's considerations.

She had no objection and immediately nodded.

The two exchanged a glance, then without further hesitation, their figures blurred, their soul power erupted, and like two arrows shot from a bow, they rushed out of the city gate and hurried towards the location where the battle had broken out.

On the city wall.

When Yan Shaozhe saw the two familiar figures rush out of the city without hesitation, he was slightly taken aback at first. Then, when he recognized that they were Yin Chen and Gu Yuena, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

Talent is certainly important, but character and responsibility are the truly indispensable qualities of a leader.

Xuanzi, who was beside him, paused slightly while gnawing on a chicken leg.

A glint of interest flashed in his cloudy old eyes as he looked at the two figures that were gradually moving away, especially the white-haired boy with a time-based martial soul who even he found somewhat unfathomable.

When Yin Chen and Gu Yuena arrived at the edge of the dense forest where soul power was surging, the battle had already entered a white-hot stage.

Upon arrival, they were immediately captivated by the magnificent yet deadly scene before them.

Beneath the night sky, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong floated in mid-air, their bodies tightly embracing each other. Behind them, the light and shadow of the Goddess of Light Butterfly and the Spirit Eye intertwined and merged, radiating a dazzling golden light that could not be described in words.

A magnificent, sacred golden path, seemingly capable of judging all things in the world, extended from their fused light and shadow, instantly enveloping a black-clad Soul Emperor who was about to unleash a powerful soul skill.

Under the blinding golden light, the ferocity and killing intent on the Soul Emperor's face froze.

His body, from flesh and blood, rapidly transformed into a lifelike golden statue at a speed visible to the naked eye, along with his soul power that was about to erupt, all of which were sealed within the cold metal.

"Clang—"

With a loud crash, the heavy golden statue fell from the sky and slammed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

This is the fusion skill of the two martial souls—Brilliance Amidst Decline, The Golden Path.

On another battlefield, the fighting was equally fierce.

"Roar--!"

With a deafening dragon roar, Beibei's entire body was covered in blue-purple dragon scales, its muscles were bulging, and its dragon eyes burned with raging fury.

He had fully unleashed his domineering Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, his four Soul Rings—two yellow and two purple—shining with dazzling light, demonstrating his powerful cultivation that had already reached the Soul Master realm. Every claw swing and tail flick he made carried a violent thunderous force, leaving the black-clad man opposite him, who was also a Soul King, in a sorry state, forced to retreat step by step.

On the other side, Xu Sanshi's heavy Xuanwu shield stood in front of him, its surface shimmering with black light, forcefully withstanding the frenzied attack of a Soul King.

Behind him, Jiang Nannan moved with the agility of a rabbit. Her figure transformed into afterimages under the moonlight. With each flash, a sharp kick would follow, attacking another Soul King who had been blocked by her and Xu Sanshi from an unbelievable angle.

Both of them had four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, shining brightly on their bodies.

However, using a martial soul fusion skill of the level of "Golden Road" also took a huge toll on Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

As the golden light faded, the two men's faces turned ashen, their soul power almost completely drained. Unable to maintain their flight any longer, they plummeted helplessly from the sky like kites with broken strings.

Just then, another mutation occurred.

Two figures dressed in black burst forth from the shadows deep within the dense forest.

They were two Soul Kings who had just caught up, their auras chilling and their killing intent palpable.

Their target was crystal clear. They completely ignored Wang Dong, who was also exhausted. Two poisoned blades transformed into two streaks of black lightning, pointing directly at Huo Yuhao, who was falling from the sky and had no power to resist.

Anyone with eyes could see that this meticulously planned assassination had only one target from beginning to end—Huo Yuhao.

"court death!"

In a flash, Yin Chen and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance.

Without a word, the two had already made the same decision in their hearts.

In the next instant, their figures vanished from the spot.

Yin Chen activated his third soul skill – [Dream Shadow].

His figure instantly appeared in front of one of the black-clad Soul Kings.

The Black-Clad Soul King was intently watching Huo Yuhao fall, completely unaware that the enemy would appear out of nowhere in such a bizarre way.

When he realized something was wrong, Yin Chen's seemingly ordinary right fist was already inches away.

On Yin Chen's right hand, the air underwent violent, high-frequency distortion and compression.

A punch was thrown.

A piercing shriek, like tearing silk, echoed through the air.

An invisible spiral storm formed by ultra-high pressure airflow crashed onto the Soul King's chest.

"puff--!"

The Soul King's face froze in horror. His protective soul power was pierced through as easily as paper, and his clothes and armor turned to dust.

An irresistible force, containing terrifying tearing power, blasted his body away like a cannonball.

Along the way, he crashed into several large trees that were as thick as a person's embrace, and finally became heavily embedded in a huge rock.
