Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 229 Wind and Fire Tornado
With a single blow, the Soul King coughed up blood, his bones shattered inch by inch, and he lay on the rubble, barely clinging to life, completely incapacitated.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Gu Yuena's figure teleported directly to the last Soul King amidst a spatial ripple.

Her actions were more direct and more... ruthless than Yin Chen's.

In her fair, jade-like palm, a crimson fireball was being compressed at an astonishing speed, instantly collapsing from the size of a basketball into an energy core the size of a pigeon egg, yet radiating an aura of destruction.

Under the horrified gaze of the Soul King, Gu Yuena expressionlessly pressed the extremely concentrated fireball against his unsuspecting chest.

"boom--!!!"

A deafening, violent explosion suddenly resounded through the night sky.

A violent burst of flames shot into the sky, forming a small mushroom cloud.

The terrifying shockwave ripped a layer off the surrounding ground.

The charred figure was instantly blasted away at the epicenter of the explosion, and was torn to pieces while still in mid-air. The moment it hit the ground, it completely lost all life.

A single, decisive blow.

Compared to Yin Chen's precise strikes that left room for maneuver, Gu Yuena's attacks were merciless.

These two Soul Kings were not among the top in their level. Their martial soul quality and soul ring configuration were far inferior to the core disciples carefully cultivated by Shrek Academy.

Even Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, who had just been promoted to Soul Master, were able to steadily suppress their opponents.

Moreover, they were facing Yin Chen and Gu Yuena, two monsters who could not be fathomed by common sense, and they were launching a sneak attack in a manner that was almost instantaneous.

Their defeat was inevitable from the very beginning.

Having dealt with the two attackers, Yin Chen didn't even glance at the fate of the two men in black. With a gentle flick of his wrist, a soft yet powerful gust of wind appeared out of thin air, precisely catching Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong before they were about to fall to the ground, and gently placing them on the ground.

Seeing that Yin Chen and Gu Yuena arrived in time and rescued Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong with lightning speed, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan all breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, an uncontrollable rage erupted from the depths of Beibei's heart.

He almost, just a hair's breadth away, and his junior brother was about to die right in front of him.

"You bunch of scum, die!"

Bebe let out an angry roar, and the lightning on his body instantly surged several times over. He no longer held back and launched a frenzied attack on his opponent with an almost desperate attitude.

Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan were in the same boat; their lingering fear and anger caused them to erupt completely.

The Xuanwu Shield was no longer a simple defense, but transformed into the heaviest siege hammer, and the figure of the Soft Bone Rabbit also carried an unprecedented chilling killing intent.

Their opponents, under the three men's fierce and murderous attack, were instantly routed and forced to retreat in disarray, facing imminent danger.

Just then.

"Crack...knock..."

A faint but distinct cracking sound came from the lifelike golden statue.

The golden light was fading at a visible speed, revealing once again the face of the black-clad Soul Emperor, twisted with extreme fear and humiliation.

The seal on the "Golden Road" will eventually have an expiration date.

The Soul Emperor staggered out of the shattered golden shell, panting heavily, his face as pale as a dead man, his eyes filled with the shock of surviving a catastrophe.

He looked around the battlefield, and his heart sank to the bottom.

His five Soul King subordinates were now either dead or crippled. Two were instantly killed by the silver-haired man and woman who appeared out of nowhere, and the remaining three were also on the verge of defeat under the frenzied attacks of the three Shrek kids; their defeat was only a matter of time.

The tide is gone.

A ruthless and resolute glint flashed in the eyes of this Soul Emperor.

He suddenly waved his hand and let out a sharp whistle, which was their pre-arranged signal to retreat.

Immediately, his soul power erupted, and without any intention of lingering in battle, he turned and fled for his life into the depths of the dense forest.

Where there is life, there is hope.

"Isn't it... too naive to only be thinking about running away now?"

Yin Chen watched the Soul Emperor's retreating figure without hesitation and gently shook his head.

From the moment this top-level distress flare was launched, the fate of these assassins was sealed.

Even without his and Gu Yuena's appearance, Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi on the city wall would never allow any attacker to leave within a hundred miles of Shrek City alive.

His and Gu Yuena's actions merely brought this predetermined ending to life ahead of time.

Yin Chen turned his head and exchanged a glance with Gu Yuena beside him.

There were no words, no communication.

But that tacit understanding was on full display at this moment.

With just a glance, they understood each other's every thought.

Yin Chen slowly extended his right hand, palm facing upward.

In an instant, an invisible, violent current of air gathered in his palm, causing the surrounding air to hum deeply. Countless fallen leaves and dust were swept into the air, forming a visible and ever-expanding vortex.

On the other side, Gu Yuena extended her crystal-clear, jade-like left hand.

A ball of crimson-gold flame spontaneously ignited in her palm. It was no ordinary flame, but an energy body composed of highly condensed pure fire element, containing extreme destructive power.

Both of them simultaneously fixed their gazes on the back of the Soul Emperor who was fleeing for his life.

"The fire was fueled by the wind."

"The wind fanned the flames."

"—Fire Tornado!"

The two spoke in unison, as if they had rehearsed it a thousand times.

Yin Chen suddenly raised his right hand upwards, and the huge whirlwind instantly transformed into a towering tornado that roared outwards.

With a gentle push of her left hand, Gu Yuena sent the crimson-gold flame, like a shooting star, precisely into the core of the tornado.

boom--!!!
Wind and fire merged perfectly at this moment.

The originally invisible tornado was instantly dyed apocalyptic crimson.

Countless sparks, carried by the gale, transformed into thousands upon thousands of deadly fiery blades, burning and tearing everything in their path.

The entire dense forest was illuminated by this terrifying fire tornado with a diameter of over ten meters, and the scorching heat even made Beibei and the others, who were dozens of meters away, feel a stinging sensation on their skin.

Although this was not a true spirit fusion skill, the combined power of the two, along with their seamless teamwork, far exceeded what an ordinary spirit emperor could handle.
