Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 94 Defeat
From the shadows, the figures of Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo slowly emerged, radiating a powerful aura and filled with killing intent in their eyes.

"Princess Xueke, we've come to send you on your way!"

Ghost Douluo's sinister voice rang out, tinged with a hint of mockery.

Xue Ke's heart sank. She recognized the two people in front of her—Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo from Wuhun City, two titled Douluo!
She knew she was no match for them, but she did not back down in the slightest; a resolute glint flashed in her eyes.

"People from Wuhun City? How dare you trespass into the royal secret realm of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered, "Little girl, still being stubborn even when death is imminent! Today, you are certain to die!"

Before he could finish speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo made the first move, wielding his Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum Martial Soul. Golden soul power slashed towards Xue Ke like a sharp blade, carrying a strong killing intent.

Xue Ke's expression changed, and she immediately activated her first soul skill, "Swan Guardian," instantly enveloping herself in an emerald-colored light shield.

"Bang!" The golden blade struck the light shield, causing it to tremble violently and crack, but it ultimately blocked the attack.

"Oh? Interesting, it actually managed to block one of my attacks."

A hint of surprise flashed in Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes, followed by a cold laugh, "However, this is just a futile struggle!"

He activated his soul power again, unleashing his second soul skill, "Chrysanthemums Wither, Wounds Everywhere." Countless golden petals shot towards Xue Ke like hidden weapons, each petal containing powerful cutting force.

At the same time, Ghost Douluo also made his move. Dark shadows surged around him as he activated his third soul skill, "Netherworld Shadow Kill." Countless shadow blades shot out from the shadows, intertwining with the golden petals to form a dense net of attacks that enveloped Xue Ke.

Xue Ke's heart tightened, and she immediately activated her second soul skill, "Jade Amplification." Jade-colored energy surged into her body, instantly boosting her speed and defense.

She flashed through the attack net like a nimble swan, dodging most of the attacks, but a few shadowy blades and golden petals still struck her shoulders and arms, leaving several deep wounds, and blood instantly stained her training clothes.

"Pfft!" Xue Ke spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning pale.

Her strength was far inferior to that of the two titled Douluo, and she was injured after only two attacks.

"Little girl, give up resisting, and you'll die a quicker death!" Ghost Douluo said sinisterly.

Xue Ke gritted her teeth, a stubborn glint in her eyes: "You think you can kill me so easily?"

She suddenly activated her third soul skill, "Jade Healing," and jade-colored energy enveloped her body, instantly stopping the bleeding from her wounds and allowing her injuries to heal at a visible speed.

At the same time, she held the communication jade talisman tightly in her hand, ready to crush it at any moment.

But she knew that even if she crushed the communication jade talisman, it would take time for the Soul Douluo elders outside to arrive, and in her current state, she couldn't hold on for long.

Just then, the thousand-year-old jade ginseng suddenly emitted a rich jade-colored light, which surged into Xue Ke's body.

Xue Ke felt a surge of life energy and soul power flow into her body, instantly healing her injuries and restoring her soul power to its peak state, even showing signs of a breakthrough!

“This is…” A hint of surprise flashed in Xue Ke’s eyes.

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo's expressions also changed, as they had not expected that this thousand-year-old jade ginseng would have such powerful energy.

"Not good! We can't let her absorb the energy of the Jade Ginseng!" Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted and charged towards Xue Ke again. The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum Martial Soul in his hand erupted with all its power, and the golden soul power condensed into a huge spear, which was fiercely thrust towards Xue Ke.

Ghost Douluo also made his move at the same time, condensing shadow energy into a black scythe, which he slashed toward Xue Ke's head.

Xue Ke took a deep breath, feeling the immense energy within her, a resolute glint in her eyes. She knew this was her only chance!
She fully activated her Jade Swan Martial Soul, fusing the energy of the millennium jade ginseng with her own soul power. The illusory image of the jade swan behind her instantly surged to tens of meters high, and the bright red feather crown on its head emitted a dazzling light.

"Emerald Swan - Feathers of Purification!"

Xue Ke let out a low shout. This was a soul skill mutation that she had temporarily comprehended under the stimulation of the energy of the millennium jade ginseng!

Countless emerald-green feathers fell from the wings of the swan phantom, carrying rich purifying power and life energy, and shot towards Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Wherever the feather passed, the air was purified to an unparalleled freshness. When Ghost Douluo's shadow energy encountered the emerald feather, it was like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, instantly melting away.

"what?!"

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo's expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They never expected that Xue Ke could unleash such a powerful purification attack!
In the rush, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly activated their soul power to defend themselves.

Ghost Douluo conjured a thick shadow barrier, while Chrysanthemum Douluo held his Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum Martial Soul in front of him, forming a golden defensive wall.

"Bang bang bang!"

Emerald feathers rained down on the shadow barrier and the golden defensive wall, instantly cracking the shadow barrier and causing the golden defensive wall to tremble violently.

"Crack!" The shadow barrier and the golden defensive wall shattered simultaneously, and the emerald feathers continued to shoot towards Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, striking their bodies.

"Ah!" Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo let out a miserable cry. The shadow energy and soul power on their bodies were quickly purified, and burn-like wounds appeared on their skin. Their auras instantly became weak.

Xue Ke also turned pale and swayed as she forcibly activated the mutated soul skill, consuming a large amount of soul power and the energy of the thousand-year-old jade ginseng.

But she didn't stop. Instead, she seized the opportunity and crushed the communication jade talisman in her hand.

"Buzz!" The communication jade talisman emitted a strong light, pierced through the barrier of the secret realm, and flew towards the outside world.

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo's faces were ashen. They never expected that the mission, which they thought would be a piece of cake, would turn out to be so unexpected.

Xue Ke's mutated soul skill not only severely injured them, but also allowed her to successfully send out a distress signal.

"Damn it! Retreat!" Ghost Douluo shouted, knowing that staying any longer was pointless and might even lead to him being entangled by the approaching Soul Douluos of the Heaven Dou Empire, which would be a greater loss than gain.

He exchanged a glance with Chrysanthemum Douluo, and at the same time, his figure flashed, and he fled towards the entrance of the secret realm.

Before leaving, Chrysanthemum Douluo reluctantly launched a golden soul power attack at Xue Ke, but Xue Ke barely dodged it, and it only hit the ground next to her, leaving a deep crater.

Watching Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo flee, Xue Ke could no longer hold on. Her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
