Douluo Continent: From Internal Martial Arts to the Law of Heaven and Earth

Hundreds of meters away from the two sisters, Zhu Qinggao revealed a hint of contempt and disdain. His soul power suddenly ignited and exploded, and his figure flashed like a ghost, instantly arriving at the spot where the two sisters had been. With a casual toss, he flung the old servant he was carrying onto a thick tree branch. His figure flickered again, the black shadow turning like lightning, and the next instant he returned to his original position. His movements were fluid and without the slightest hesitation, as if he had never moved. However, at this moment, he now held two struggling girls in his hands.

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, who were forcibly restrained, tried to resist, but Zhu Qinggao simply touched their backs with his finger and used his powerful soul force to seal the flow of the two sisters' soul force.

He casually tossed them aside, letting Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing's delicate bodies slam to the ground. Zhu Qinggao's gaze swept across the distant battlefield, his expression somewhat grave.

The old servant, hanging from the tree, gave a bitter smile as he looked at the two Zhu sisters whose acupoints had been sealed, and sighed repeatedly in his heart.

Zhu Zhuyun's expression was indifferent. She pulled Zhu Zhuqing behind her and stared sharply at Zhu Qinggao without saying a word.

Zhu Qinggao glanced at the man and tiger fighting in the distance, and after confirming that it would not affect his side, he slowly turned around, looked at his two daughters, and said in an icy voice: "Zhu Yun, Zhu Qing, you are very good. You almost ruined my grand plan."

"Is your grand plan to use your two daughters as tools, as stepping stones for you to climb up the Dai family, at the cost of our lifelong happiness?" Zhu Zhuyun said sarcastically.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, but just looked at the man in front of her with disgust.

Zhu Qinggao sighed with feigned helplessness, deliberately softening his voice: "Zhu Yun, Zhu Qing, I'm doing this all for your own good. Once you enter the Dai family, you'll have countless riches to enjoy, and your future will be bright."

"Whether life is bright or you're stuck in that iron cage that's been magnified many times over, or living with a political machine all day long, don't think I don't know. In order to plot against the Heaven Dou Empire, you followed the Dai family's orders to carefully train a very small number of collateral bloodlines with mutated martial souls and then sent them to the hands of the great nobles and royal family members of Heaven Dou, treating them as pawns as well." Zhu Zhuyun bluntly exposed Zhu Qinggao's hypocritical face.

Zhu Qinggao's face darkened, and he retorted, "What do you know? Sacrificing for the empire is their honor, and also the glory of their family!"

Zhu Zhuyun remained silent, clearly not intending to pay any more attention to Zhu Qinggao; being caught by him this time was just her fate.

No one would have expected that Tang San, the genius of the Heaven Dou Empire, would suddenly appear and fight against the powerful figures of the Star Luo Empire, and the location was not far from Star Luo City.

This caused her plan to fail prematurely. After all, with two powerful figures fighting, the city gates would definitely be closed, and everyone's attention would be focused on this area. If they appeared, they would be directly exposed to the eyes of the Star Luo experts on the city wall, which would be no different from walking into a trap.

She had originally hoped that the Tangshan battle would end quickly, regardless of victory or defeat, or that Zhu Qinggao would arrive a little later, but unfortunately, both of her hopes were dashed.

Zhu Qinggao is unaffected by any objective factors, but Zhu Zhuyun doesn't understand why the black-haired girl who easily killed three Soul Saints just now stood by and did not help Tang Shan to deal with the Star Luo Soul Douluo as soon as possible.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuyun refused to cooperate, Zhu Qinggao sneered: "Heh, since you don't intend to listen to reason, then don't blame me for taking force. I'll just drug you and send you to the First Prince's residence. Once the deed is done, it'll be done."

"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'you all'!" Zhu Zhuyun, who had been silent, suddenly changed her expression and glared angrily at the man in front of her.

"What do you mean? It means exactly what it says. If we send both of you to the Crown Prince, sisters serving the same master, wouldn't that please him even more?" Zhu Qinggao said matter-of-factly.

"You scoundrel! Don't forget, Zhu Qing is still engaged. Aren't you afraid Dai Lingtian will come after you for this?" Zhu Zhuyun never imagined that one day she would have to rely on the existence of a runaway prince to protect her sister. It was truly laughable.

"Shut up! You should show the respect due to His Majesty. How dare you address him by his name?" Zhu Qinggao scolded, then continued nonchalantly, "What status can a runaway prince have? I'm doing this for your own good. After all, you did run away, and Prince Weiss must harbor resentment. If you two serve him well, you'll have a better future."

As for His Majesty, although he won't support me, he probably won't oppose me either. After all, the Third Prince has already escaped, and Zhu Qing's existence is quite awkward. I'm doing this to help His Majesty sort things out."

Zhu Zhuyun was so angry that her chest heaved violently. Her full breasts rose and fell with her rapid breathing, their curves eye-catching. If her soul power hadn't been sealed and her body hadn't been in a state of temporary weakness, she would have bitten off a piece of flesh from this bastard even if it meant her death. How could a person be so shameless?

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the man in front of her with an indifferent expression and remained silent, completely disappointed in Zhu Qinggao.

Zhu Qinggao frowned, feeling somewhat troubled by his silent daughters. As he had said, if the two sisters refused to cooperate, he planned to drug them and send them over directly. Of course, it would be best if they cooperated, but now it seemed he would be disappointed.

Zhu Qinggao paced anxiously back and forth, utterly bewildered as to why his two daughters were so determined to escape; it was completely abnormal. Clearly, he had never considered things from the sisters' perspective and therefore couldn't comprehend their yearning for freedom.

The ground was still shaking, and the battle ahead had not stopped. Zhu Qinggao, whose gaze lingered on the battlefield for a moment, recalled his earlier words, and an unbelievable thought surfaced in his mind.

He turned around abruptly, looking at Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing with a strange expression: "You two don't actually like that guy from Tangshan, do you?"

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing were puzzled. They had reason to suspect that Zhu Qinggao might have some mental problems. This was the first time they had seen Tang Shan, and they had only seen him from afar. How could they have fallen in love with him so easily?

Neither of them paid any attention to Zhu Qinggao and remained silent. However, Zhu Qinggao thought he was right. At the same time, he suddenly realized why the two sisters were determined to run away—after witnessing the prodigy's demeanor, how could they possibly look up to anyone else? Even if he was the eldest prince of Xingluo.

Thinking he had figured out the truth, Zhu Qinggao had a thought: if Tang Shan died, would his two daughters obediently cooperate with his plan?

The thought struck Zhu Qinggao, but he always put his own interests first. Participating in the current battlefield was bound to be risky, and he had to carefully calculate the gains and losses.

Sending Zhu Yun and Zhu Qing to the First Prince this time should be able to mitigate the negative impact of Zhu Yun's escape. However, it won't be so easy for His Majesty to make up for this mistake. If I can help the Fourth Prince kill Tang Shan, perhaps I can not only offset my mistakes but also receive some rewards.

With this in mind, Zhu Qinggao had made up his mind—in his view, cutting off his two daughters' thoughts of Tang Shan was a minor matter; the most important thing was the huge benefits he could gain after assisting in killing Tang Shan.

However, it would be difficult to participate in their battle; a suitable opportunity must be found.

Zhu Qinggao unleashed his soul power, snapping the tree branch in two. He then instructed the old servant who had fallen to the ground, "Keep an eye on them and don't let them escape again. I need to assist the Fourth Elder in killing that Tang Shan."

"Yes, Master." The old servant struggled to his feet and bowed to Zhu Qinggao.

Having regained some strength, Zhu Zhuyun struggled to sit up. Sensing the restrained yet powerful aura emanating from Zhu Qinggao, she felt a sense of helplessness and a pang of guilt towards Tang Shan. In her opinion, if she and her sister hadn't been by Tang Shan's side during the fight, Zhu Qinggao wouldn't have suddenly lost his mind and inexplicably developed murderous intent towards him.

Overwhelmed by guilt, the girl couldn't help but speak up, trying to dissuade Zhu Qinggao from taking action: "If you just rush over like that, be careful that Star Luo expert doesn't distinguish friend from foe and might just kill you with a casual slap."

"That's impossible, unless the Fourth Elder has lost his mind." Zhu Qinggao's answer was very casual, clearly determined to deal with Tang Shan.

Chapter 343 Yuanshi Seal

The fist and the tiger's paw collided, creating ripples. The man and the tiger clashed wildly not far from Xingluo City. Every time their limbs touched, a dull thud resounded, and their power was overwhelming.

Tang Shan gripped the tiger's paw tightly in his palm, tensed his leg muscles, and suddenly raised his thick thigh, delivering a powerful knee strike that, with the force of his entire body, went straight for the giant tiger's throat.

As the giant tiger withstood the impact of the knee strike, it rapidly gathered soul power in its tiger's mouth, and a thick white light wave suddenly formed and blasted out.

Boom!

Dust billowed up, obscuring their figures. Taking advantage of the situation, the giant tiger suddenly unleashed its soul power, its brute force surging as it forcibly broke free from Tang Shan's control. Its massive body lunged forward, its sharp tiger paws whistling through the air as it struck the giant's head directly before it.

Tangshan, with his swift and short stature, precisely dodged the blow while arching his back and exerting force. His broad shoulders, like giant hammers, slammed upwards, sending the giant tiger flying into the air.

Boom boom boom!

The White Tiger Meteor Shower rained down again, with energy orbs crashing down like a storm. The giant tiger steadied itself in mid-air, its limbs tensed, and pounced straight down.

boom!

The energy ball exploded on Tang Shan's crossed arms, the shockwave causing him to sway slightly. His tiger-like body pressed down, the fierce force tearing through the amethyst armor, and sharp tiger claws slashing two hideous bloody marks on his arms.

The attack did not stop. The giant tiger, which was pouncing down, raised its other paw and, with the ferocity to break the sound barrier, struck Tang Shan's chest directly.

Card wipe!

Tang Shan had no time to dodge. His massive body could only lean back slightly as the tiger's paw slammed heavily into his chest, shattering a large area of ​​his amethyst armor. A tremendous force made his chest feel tight. Although he managed to stabilize himself with his invincible body and not retreat a single step, the penetrating force still solidly affected his internal organs.

Ignoring the excruciating pain in his chest, Tang Shan advanced instead of retreating, taking large strides to close the distance with the giant tiger. His palms clamped the tiger's arms like iron pincers, and with a sudden lift, he wrapped his arms around the tiger's waist, his muscles bulging, forcefully lifting the giant tiger into the air.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, the image of the giant lifting the tiger is visually striking. Sunlight pours down, illuminating the giant's imposing, mountain-like figure and taut muscles, as well as the tiger's frantic, struggling posture, revealing every detail.

"Die!" Tang Shan roared, his voice echoing through the sky. He slammed the giant tiger into the ground with all his might, letting the tiger's claws tear apart its armor and rip open its flesh.

Boom!

The earth trembled violently, like a miniature earthquake, sending rocks flying high into the air, thick dust billowing out, and creating a huge crater in the ground.

"Again!" Tang Shan roared continuously. Despite the giant tiger's struggles and rampant soul power, he still held onto the tiger's body tightly and lifted it up again. His blood and qi boiled like a tide, his soul power surged endlessly, and his spiritual power surged like a tsunami. Power flowed through his entire body, and the potential of every inch of his body was awakened, pushing his power to the limit.

Carrying the frantically struggling giant tiger, he turned and strode towards a nearby hill. He rammed the tiger's body into the mountain, causing rocks to shatter and the hill to tremble and crack. Tang Shan carried the giant tiger and rammed it into one mountain after another, once, twice, three times... Each impact made the earth tremble and the hill shake. Dense, transparent cracks gradually appeared on the tiger's energy body.

Zhu Qinggao, who was watching from the sidelines, frowned. He never expected that the two sides, who were originally evenly matched, would suddenly change their situation in a short period of time, with Tang Shan gaining an absolute advantage with his sheer force.

It's not necessary to kill Tang Shan; perhaps helping the Four Grand Masters change the situation would improve my image in His Majesty's eyes. Zhu Qinggao quickly weighed the gains and losses, his eyes narrowed, and he decided to turn the tide at the most opportune moment.

As for defeating Tangshan, Zhu Qinggao abandoned the idea after witnessing the opponent's strength; a person should know their own limitations.

Boom!

The roar never stopped, and the cracks in the energy body condensed by the Martial Soul True Body spread rapidly, and it was not far from shattering.

Right now! Zhu Qinggao's eyes narrowed, and he immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body, transforming into a Netherworld Cat. He then used his sixth soul skill—Netherworld Shuttle—to traverse towards the battlefield.

Just as Zhu Qinggao was unleashing his full power, the battle between Tangshan and Juhu also took a turn.

Seemingly seeing that his struggles were futile and his Martial Soul Body was about to shatter, Dai Jie roared, "Kid, you forced me to do this!"

In an instant, his previously weakened aura surged back to its former glory, his eighth soul ring flashed, and a burst of blood-red light erupted from the center of his massive tiger body.

Eighth Soul Skill, Blood-Soaked Demon Tiger: Burns blood, soul power, and mental power, enters an absolute frenzy, and kills wantonly for five minutes. It will stop when one of the soul power, blood, or mental power is exhausted or when the time expires!

again!

Tang Shan, his will boiling, frowned when he saw the blood-red halo. He threw a punch at it, and as before, he touched the halo but couldn't break it.

Although the forced resistance skill could not push Tang Shan away, it also prevented him from grabbing the giant tiger again, leaving him to let the other party create distance.

He just couldn't understand what this Contra had gone through before, how he obtained the amplification-type soul skills, and why they all had a resistance aura effect at the beginning.

Its body swelled further, its eyes stained crimson with blood, and its ferocity increased even more. Losing its mind, Dai Jie let out a fierce tiger roar and, accompanied by a raging wind, pounced straight towards Tang Shan.

"Good timing!" Tang Shan showed no fear and faced his opponent head-on. Just then, a dark figure suddenly appeared between the man and the tiger.

"Fourth Elder, I'm here to help you!" Zhu Qinggao had no idea that the battlefield had changed in the short time he had traveled there. The Netherworld Cat he had transformed into looked at Tang Shan ahead, its eyes flashing with ferocity: "Huh, where is the Fourth Elder?"

call!

A massive wind pressure, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression, suddenly descended. Before Zhu Qinggao could react, a tiger's paw, stained with blood, swept across and struck him heavily.

Card wipe!

Zhu Qinggao's Martial Soul True Body shattered instantly, revealing his true form. He was struck by Dai Jie's all-out palm strike, which was driven into the air by Dai Jie's loss of reason. His bones were shattered in large areas before he crashed down, landing not far from Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing.

That seems to be the true form of the Netherworld Cat's martial soul, right? The thought arose in Tang Shan's mind, but he immediately dismissed it. Who cares if it's the true form of the Netherworld Cat's martial soul or not, anyway, I didn't do it.

The ensuing battlefield was even more intense and brutal. The giant tiger, having lost its mind, only knew how to attack and had no defense. Tang Shan also used all his amplification methods to officially activate the Titan Left Palm Bone Technique - Great Power, which he had not used before.

The vast primordial energy of heaven and earth seemed to have received a command from the sovereign, and it poured wildly into Tangshan's body. Due to the excessive concentration of the primordial energy, it even formed a blurry vortex shape above Tangshan's head.

The giant tiger's pounce, slap, lift, and slash were merely the most basic attacks, yet they possessed considerable power when executed with its terrifying size. The movements were interwoven and continuous, with a relentless killing intent.

Tangshan used his fists, palms, elbows, and knees to block and counterattack, his body clashing against Huji's attack. Each collision generated waves of air, and the loud noises continued.

The man and the tiger clashed violently, their momentum escalating rapidly. Their eyes grew even more ferocious, and the speed of their fight increased dramatically. The tearing air currents swirled around them, forming a small tornado that shot into the sky.

Centered on the battle between the two, a large area around the site was riddled with holes, and vegetation was destroyed, all affected by the aftershocks of the fight.

Gu Yue tilted her head, feeling Tang Shan's rising will and his attempt to reach a higher level. She pouted and puffed out her cheeks: "It's another one-man show. Every time you say you'll team up, you're just fooling me."

Gu Yue glanced at Dai Lingtian on the Star Luo City wall, then turned her gaze to the spot where Zhu Qinggao had crashed down. With a light step, she vanished without a trace in a flash of silver light, and the Elemental Throne she had been sitting on collapsed and returned to the world.

……

The body's acupoints are not merely acupoints; they are more like unique life nodes that are interconnected and contain profound secrets of the human body.

It is not a fixed bodily structure and cannot be detected by mental energy; the only way to observe it is through willpower.

Tangshan's will, fueled by the fierce battle, surged with each collision, breaking through to higher levels. Even without actively attacking, countless tiny points of light spontaneously surfaced in his mind, and his physical and spiritual outlines gradually became clear.

Each head-on collision is not only a fierce physical battle, but also a repeated tempering of the will. With each instance of enduring immense force, the will becomes stronger.

In a moment of inspiration, Tang Shan naturally formed a hand seal, and his blood, soul power, and spiritual power merged and erupted. A Heaven-Opening Seal was unleashed, crashing down with the power of splitting the heavens and earth.

Boom!

The berserk tiger was forcibly repelled for the first time, its massive body flying more than ten meters backward, its limbs leaving two deep marks on the ground.

No! This isn't the feeling. A sudden burst of inspiration erupted in his mind, and all his past insights into power surged forth. Tang Shan strode forward, forming hand seals and pressing down once more. He subtly adjusted his hand gestures, discarding any unnecessary force and concentrating his power even more condensed and focused.
