Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 279: The Soul Hunt Begins

Yang Ping'an thought for a while before refusing: "Uncle-Master, this is a big event for the Spirit Empire after all. I'd better not get involved. If something happens, it will be hard to explain. Besides, I want to train in the Star Dou Great Forest for a while and get used to my current combat strength."

Ghost Douluo nodded silently: "Alright, you've just entered the Title Douluo realm, so you do need to fight more to adapt to your body. You and Li Gui shouldn't go this time. The two of you can look after each other and ensure your safety."

Yang Ping'an quickly said, "Master, Uncle, you must be careful this time too. Besides the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, I'm afraid something unexpected might happen. No matter what, your safety should be the priority. Even if you don't get a spirit ring, don't worry too much."

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo simply nodded. With their combined strength of level 97, they would have virtually no enemies in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After everyone had spoken, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo left first, while Yang Ping'an and Li Gui stayed behind to continue their training.

In fact, Yang Ping'an was very clear that Bibi Dong's soul hunting operation would definitely encounter some unexpected events, and the most dangerous one was Ghost Douluo. After all, if the Clear Sky Sect and the others came, the first person they would target would be Ghost Douluo, the one who was gathering information, especially since the two of them had a martial soul fusion skill.

After the two left for a while, Yang Ping'an carefully deduced and analyzed the current trend. Bibi Dong personally took action, along with two level 97 Title Douluos, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, and four more Title Douluos. This force was definitely one of the strongest in the world, and even the Clear Sky Sect dared to challenge them.

Moreover, given the current situation, Tang San definitely doesn't have the Trident of the Sea God or the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, so he probably won't be able to launch a fatal sneak attack like in the original story. At least Ghost Douluo's life is still guaranteed.

The only surprise is whether Tang Chen will come or not; that's the real key point.

Yang Ping'an hesitated for a moment before speaking to Li Gui beside him: "Uncle Li Gui, I have a bad feeling. Please follow my uncle secretly. Don't show yourself unless he is in danger."

Li Gui asked, somewhat puzzled, "Ping An, is there something wrong with this Soul Hunting Operation?"

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "I don't know either. I just feel a little uneasy. Maybe I'm going to run into some trouble this time. So I need you to do as I say. Remember, unless your uncle or master is in danger, you must not show yourself."

Title Douluo's intuition is usually very accurate. Since it concerns Ghost Douluo's safety, Li Gui himself dared not be careless. He instantly transformed into a ghostly figure and followed Ghost Douluo from a distance, after all, Ghost Douluo was like a teacher and father to him.

Li Gui had already reached the Title Douluo level a year ago. This time, after absorbing two 90,000-year-old Thousand-Pound Ant King Soul Bones, his soul power has reached level 93. In particular, his martial soul is Ghost Shadow, making him one of the most skilled and fastest Title Douluos in the world at hiding.

It should be noted that a soul bone of 90,000 years is already considered one of the inherited soul bones of the three upper sects, especially the ultimate power attribute of the Thousand-Pound Ant King, which can definitely become the treasure of the Haotian Sect.

As for Yang Ping'an himself, he did not want to participate in this soul-hunting operation. Given Bibi Dong's strong personality, she would not allow anyone to touch the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python's soul rings, as these were related to her last two soul rings and even whether she could become a god in the future.

Yang Ping'an also wanted to see if Tang San and his group could interfere with Bibi Dong's soul hunting operation as in the original story, or even seize the soul rings and soul bones of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. If he succeeded, then he would have to re-evaluate his plan to seek revenge against Tang Hao.

If Tang San is destined to become a god, then I must speed up my pace and at least become a god stronger than Tang San, or even take extreme measures in advance.

After finalizing all the plans, Yang Ping'an headed directly towards the Lake of Life in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. That was the real battlefield, and if anything unexpected happened, he would become the hunter.

Ghost Douluo had already told us the locations of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, so we should be able to prepare in advance, or perhaps witness a grand spectacle, or even get revenge ahead of time.

Since absorbing three top-grade soul rings from the Thousand-Pound Ant King, Yang Ping'an's main body martial soul has acquired extremely strong earth attributes, enabling him to move quickly underground, much like the burrowing ability of the Thousand-Pound Ant.

In just half a day, Yang Ping'an arrived around the Lake of Life and could even sense the presence of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python from afar. Yang Ping'an walked to a distance of a thousand meters from them, but he did not continue to approach. Instead, he directly entered a small hill. On the one hand, he could observe the surrounding situation, and on the other hand, he could sense the changes around him through the earth. He even hid his soul power, as if he had merged with the ground.

Outside the Star Dou Great Forest, with the arrival of Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, Bibi Dong's plans for this soul-hunting operation have been completed, and now it's time for the final hunt.

Bibi Dong put in a lot of effort to deal with the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. In addition to her personal involvement, Ghost Douluo investigated the details several months in advance, and she also brought four Title Douluos with her.

These four titled Douluo are Spirit Kite Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, Holy Dragon Douluo, and Porcupine Douluo. It can be said that they have mobilized almost all of their forces for this operation.

With Bibi Dong's command, seven Title Douluos transformed into human figures and sped towards the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, while Li Gui followed closely as a ghost, with all attention focused on Ghost Douluo.

A little later, at the entrance to the Tian Dou region of the Star Dou Great Forest, another group of people were preparing to enter the Star Dou Great Forest.

This group was led by Tang San, and included Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, as well as two elders of the Clear Sky Sect, namely the Fifth Elder Tang Zhan and the Seventh Elder Tang Lie, both of whom were level 93 Title Douluo.

The reason why Tang San was chosen as the leader was because he knew the location of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. In particular, Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul would greatly enhance his perception ability if he deployed the Blue Silver Domain in the Star Dou Great Forest, and he could even predict danger in advance.

Although Tang San's group of five was smaller than Bibi Dong's group, all of them possessed the Clear Sky Hammer as their martial soul. In terms of pure attack power, they were even stronger than the six elders brought by Bibi Dong. Tang Xiao, in particular, had reached level ninety-seven in soul power, making him a master of the Clear Sky Hammer's power. He had reached a state of perfection with the Nine Absolute Skills of Clear Sky. If he hadn't been limited by opportunities and didn't have a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, he would have been much stronger than Tang Hao in all aspects, and might have become the next Tang Chen.

Yang Ping'an spent less than a day in the soil before he observed Bibi Dong and her group arrive at the Lake of Life. He could even sense the ghostly figure of Li Gui through the earth's resonance.

Especially now, Bibi Dong has shed her fancy clothes and is wearing golden armor, looking incredibly imposing. In terms of mental strength, she is not far behind even the Limit Douluo, having reached the peak of level 98, and is only a step away from level 99.

The battle on the scene broke out quickly. After Bibi Dong's side stealthily approached the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, the seven Title Douluos launched an attack. In particular, Bibi Dong transformed into a giant Death Spider Emperor. With each move, she could almost destroy the world. She was indeed a master who was close to the level of Limit Douluo.

Both the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python are incredibly powerful. Despite facing so many experts, they fought back desperately. The Azure Bull Python, in particular, was covered in lightning. Lightning is indeed the most domineering attribute in the world, and even Bibi Dong's Death Spider King was somewhat restrained by it.

However, in addition to its powerful soul force, Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor also possesses extremely strong toxicity, and its poison attribute energy even far surpasses that of Dugu Bo, making it undoubtedly the most poisonous martial soul in the world.

After Tang San and his group entered the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San used the Blue Silver Emperor's Blue Silver Domain to sense the changes in the surrounding Blue Silver Grass, which was spread throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Soon, Tang San sensed different information from the Blue Silver Grass. It was clear that many Title Douluo-level experts were passing by. With so many experts entering the Star Dou Great Forest, their target was probably the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. The answer was obvious. It was probably just as Tang Chen said: Bibi Dong led a group of experts to hunt down these two 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Tang Xiao said with some worry, "Xiao San, what should we do now? It's obvious that Bibi Dong led several Title Douluos into the Star Dou Great Forest, and it's estimated that there are at least five of them. I'm afraid we're going to be in trouble this time."

Tang San gritted his teeth: "That despicable Bibi Dong killed Xiao Wu, and now she wants to kill Da Ming and Er Ming. Uncle, Father, I am determined to get the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. Bibi Dong is dealing with them right now, and that is our best opportunity."

Tang San was originally a Tang Clan assassin in his previous life, so he knew how to seize opportunities. Whether Bibi Dong wanted to hunt down the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python or absorb a spirit ring, she would definitely reveal a fatal flaw, which would be his chance for revenge.

The five of them whispered among themselves, especially discussing tactics to deal with Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, since the two's spirit fusion skills were quite formidable, and even Tang Xiao could not underestimate them.

Ultimately, the four of them followed Tang San and quickly stealthily moved forward. In particular, Tang San brought his Blue Silver Domain perception to its limit, trying to sense the situation of Bibi Dong and her group as much as possible.

As a fierce battle raged at the Lake of Life, the scale of the battle was extremely large, and the range of the soul power's influence was also very wide, making it a huge target in the eyes of Tang San and his group of five.

Yang Ping'an stared intently at the situation on the battlefield. The Spirit Hall had indeed gone all out this time. Under the siege of seven Title Douluos, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. Not only were they poisoned, but their soul power was also gradually suppressed by Bibi Dong and the other seven. If they hadn't been able to rely on the powerful physical attributes of their soul beasts, they would probably have been killed long ago.

Of course, there is another reason. Bibi Dong probably wanted to absorb two 100,000-year spirit rings at the same time, so she did not go too far. Even many titled Douluo did not kill them. Otherwise, if one 100,000-year spirit beast was killed, there would be a very high probability that the other would self-destruct, which would be a loss. In addition, Bibi Dong was determined to get these two spirit rings, so it was up to Bibi Dong to kill them.

However, the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python were poisoned by Bibi Dong's Death Spider Queen. If they could heal themselves immediately after being poisoned, they might still have a chance to survive. But now that they are surrounded by seven people, defeat and death are probably only a matter of time.

Yang Ping'an looked at the battlefield and sighed in admiration. The strength of the Spirit Hall was indeed unfathomable. Such a large-scale war at the Title Douluo level was truly a rare sight.

Just then, Yang Ping'an felt a slight tremor in his right leg bone, as if he sensed a familiar aura.

Yang Ping'an's heart tightened: It really came. It seems that this vast Douluo world will eventually move along its original trajectory.
