Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

The white cranes in the distance seemed extremely frightened. The four patriarchs of the four single-attribute families were all top-tier Soul Douluo, especially Yang Wudi, who had the attack power of a Title Douluo, Niu Gao, who had the defense power of a Title Douluo, and Titan, who had the power of a Title Douluo.

But now Titan has been killed on the spot, and Niu Gao and Yang Wudi are obviously seriously injured, their fates unknown.

Bai He completely disregarded everything else, grabbed Tang Lie, and transformed into a white shadow, trying to escape from this place as quickly as possible.

Bai He truly lives up to his reputation as a rare pure agility-type Soul Douluo, and has always been known for his unparalleled speed, which even Sword Douluo probably cannot catch up with.

But at that moment, the golden dragon suddenly emerged from the ground and extended a huge dragon claw. Before Bai He could react, Bai He and Tang Lie were caught in the dragon claw's palm. With a forceful pull, Bai He and Tang Lie turned into a rain of blood, and the two top experts died instantly.

Immediately afterwards, the golden dragon let out a huge roar, and a beam of light shot out from its mouth, instantly transforming into countless tiny rays of light. Everyone who had come with Tang Lie and his group for training was pierced through by the golden light and killed on the spot, including the members of the Breaking Clan.

After everything was finished, the golden dragon transformed into a golden ray of light and flew back into Yang Ping'an's body. The surroundings immediately became quiet, and even the chirping of insects ceased, making it seem extremely eerie.

Yang Ping'an slowly walked towards Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, who were coughing up blood. Even with all their strength, they could barely sit in the pit, clearly indicating that Yang Ping'an's attack had severely injured them.

Niu Gao's face seemed filled with resentment: "Yang Ping'an, if you want to kill, then kill. Don't be so hypocritical."

Yang Ping'an looked at the two of them indifferently: "I'm not very interested in killing people. I'm only sparing your lives so you can pass on a message. Go back and tell that old guy from Haotian Sect not to die so soon. I'll go find him and avenge the one blow I struck back then in six months at most."

"Also, make it clear to him that any funeral arrangements should be made as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid he'll take those things to the grave."

Yang Wudi's eyes seemed to be filled with rage as he used the Soul-Breaking Spear to support his trembling body as he stood up.

"Yang Ping'an, what exactly do you mean? You've killed so many of us, we're now sworn enemies. Why are you letting me and Old Rhino leave? Aren't you afraid we'll come after you for revenge? Do you think a demon like you would care about a little bit of family ties?"

Yang Ping'an said calmly, "Don't talk to me about family ties. Since my parents died, I have no relatives left. Anyone who dares to stop me from causing trouble for the Haotian Sect must die."

"I find it rather strange. You two were doing quite well in the Star Luo Empire. With the Star Luo Empire's protection, your families were developing quite well. Even the Spirit Empire hasn't made things difficult for you much in recent years. Why did you suddenly decide to become lackeys of the Clear Sky Sect?"

Upon hearing Yang Ping'an's words, Yang Wudi and Niu Gao's already severely injured and dejected faces turned ashen, clearly indicating that these words had struck a nerve.

Finally, Yang Wudi gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Ping'an, our Po clan is already sworn enemies with you to the death. Don't hold back for the sake of that ridiculous family affection."

Yang Ping'an's face showed a hint of anger: "Yang Wudi, you are not worthy to talk to me about family ties. Where were you when my parents died? I killed Yu Luomian, I killed Tang Hao. Whether it is the Haotian Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, as long as they dare to appear in front of me, I will definitely make them turn to ashes."

"As for your Broken Clan, you are nothing but clowns in my eyes. If we meet again, I won't hesitate to send you all to hell together."

After speaking, Yang Ping'an ignored Yang Wudi and Niu Gao and slowly walked towards Ning Fengzhi and the other three.

"Sect Leader Ning, you seemed to be trying to mediate the conflict between me and the Haotian Sect, but judging from the current situation, it seems unnecessary."

Ning Fengzhi was immediately taken aback: "Mr. Yang, you are joking. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is just a small business, barely surviving. How dare we interfere in your conflict?"

"Mr. Yang, you can rest assured that from now on, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Haotian School will keep their distance and will absolutely not interfere in anything you do."

Yang Ping'an nodded: "That's good. When doing business, you should act like a businessman. Don't get involved in these disputes all the time, or you might bring disaster upon yourself."

"By the way, I have seriously injured Yang Wudi and Niu Gao. I will trouble Sect Leader Ning to send them back. I don't want Tang Chen to miss my message."

Ning Fengzhi quickly replied, "Mr. Yang, you can rest assured on this point. I, Ning, can certainly ensure that your message will be delivered."

Yang Ping'an ignored everyone present, and even more so Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, and left the place directly.

Ning Fengzhi and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yang Ping'an leave. Ning Fengzhi, in particular, seemed to feel immense pressure when Yang Ping'an was present, as if any slight misstep on his part would bring endless disaster to the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

After Yang Ping'an had completely gone far away, Ning Fengzhi summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to help Yang Wudi and Niu Gao recover, but the two were obviously too badly injured, and even under the light of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, they were only slightly better.

After carefully observing Yang Wudi and Niu Gao's bodies, Bone Douluo couldn't help but shake his head: "Feng Zhi is useless. Their injuries are not much worse than mine back then. It will take at least two or three years to recover."

Ning Rongrong seemed a little reluctant: "Dad, isn't Yang Ping'an going too far? He actually used such a heavy hand. After all, Senior Yang Wudi is his family."

Ning Fengzhi interrupted Ning Rongrong with a serious expression: "Rongrong, that's enough, there's no need to say any more. It seems that Yang Ping'an was right, you still lack understanding of the Soul Master world."

This seemed to be a rare instance of Ning Fengzhi being harsh with Ning Rongrong, who immediately fell silent, her eyes appearing somewhat blank.

Yang Wudi forced himself to stand up and said, "Sect Leader Ning, you are too kind. I never expected that our four single-attribute families would bring such a disaster upon us. It is all my fault."

Niu Gao quickly comforted him, "Old Goat, how can these things be your fault? Since we chose to return to Heaven Dou City with Tang San and reconcile with the Clear Sky Sect, we were bound to face those people from the Spirit Hall sooner or later."

Everyone fell silent, especially since Yang Ping'an had just said that he had personally killed Yu Luomian. Didn't that mean that Yang Ping'an was also present during the battle with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and that he himself might have even joined the Spirit Hall?

Ning Fengzhi remained silent for a while before speaking to Sword Douluo: "Uncle Sword, what do you think Yang Ping'an's strength has reached now? Is it really possible for him to defeat Tang Chen, the patriarch of the Clear Sky Sect?"

Sword Douluo thought for a moment before speaking: "I'm not sure either. I haven't seen Tang Chen really make a move, but judging from Yang Ping'an's strength just now, he has at least reached level 98, and may even have reached level 99. You know, he didn't consume much soul power after the battle just now, which shows how terrifying his strength is."

"Especially Yang Ping'an's application of martial souls has probably reached the pinnacle of a soul master. Even Qian Daoliu of the Martial Soul Empire might not be able to do anything to him. When I was facing him just now, I felt like I was facing an insurmountable mountain. This gap is like an insurmountable chasm."

"Although Tang Lie is only level 93, with the power of his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, he is probably no weaker than Old Bones. This Yang Ping'an faced Tang Lie and the four clan leaders with ease. Even if the three of us joined, it would probably be only a matter of time before we lost."

Ning Fengzhi felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this. He knew that Yang Ping'an was so powerful and disregarded life. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were to become his enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Finally, Ning Fengzhi showed a hint of apology to Yang Wudi and Niu Gao: "I'm really sorry, clan leaders. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has limited strength and cannot help you, nor dare I help you. That's why I ignored Elder Tang Lie's invitation just now."

Niu Gao was quite straightforward: "Sect Leader Ning is too modest. There's nothing we can do about things we're not sure about. I almost dragged Sect Leader Ning into this just now."

After some discussion, the group gathered the numerous corpses on the ground and prepared to leave the Sunset Forest. However, Tang Lie and Bai He were torn to pieces by the Golden Dragon's claw, leaving only some torn clothes and corpse fragments. Titan was left with only a headless corpse. Everyone looked extremely miserable.

When everyone returned to Tiandou City, Tang Xiao and several elders of the Haotian Sect looked at the seriously injured Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, then at the remains of Tang Lie and the headless corpse of Titan, and everyone was filled with grief and indignation.

Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, due to their severe injuries, returned to their families and the Tang Clan for treatment, but the extent of their injuries drew the attention of Tang Xiao and the others.

The four elders, including the Second Elder, were extremely grief-stricken and suggested that Tang Xiao gather the entire sect's strength to kill Yang Ping'an. However, Tang Xiao remained relatively calm, especially after hearing about Yang Ping'an's killing of Tang Lie and the other four. Knowing that Yang Ping'an's strength had probably increased significantly, he could only do his best to appease the four elders, even resorting to the sect leader's authority. On the other hand, he tried to find Tang Chen to relay Yang Ping'an's words.

Just as Tang Xiao was filled with worry, Ning Fengzhi and the other three members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also looked very grim. Clearly, although they had brought back the wounded and the dead, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's complete inaction had earned them the cold shoulder from the Haotian School. At the very least, the Haotian School members felt that this alliance was meaningless.

Ning Fengzhi looked at the three Sword and Bone Douluo with a very serious expression: "Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone, it seems that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also needs to make plans soon."

Ning Rongrong was a little puzzled: "Although our situation is not good now, it shouldn't be that dangerous yet, right? Besides, we still have quite a few disciples who have gone to the front line."

Ning Fengzhi sighed: "Judging from Yang Ping'an's appearance, he seems to be determined to fight the Haotian Sect to the death. Just as he said, he will probably go and cause trouble for Tang Chen within half a year. If Tang Chen falls, we will have no hope of fighting against the Martial Soul Empire."

Seeing the confusion in Ning Rongrong's eyes, Ning Fengzhi spoke again: "Rongrong, it seems Yang Ping'an was right. You do lack understanding of the Soul Master world, and you haven't had enough experience."

Ning Rongrong quickly spoke up: "Dad, am I right? Yang Ping'an is so bloodthirsty that he doesn't even spare his own maternal grandfather. He will probably become even more lawless in the future."

Ning Fengzhi gave a bitter smile: "Rongrong, you are still too naive. If Yang Ping'an hadn't been thinking about that sliver of family affection, Yang Wudi and Niu Gao would probably be dead long ago. They wouldn't have had any chance of escaping from Yang Ping'an's hands."

"Rongrong, remember this: the world of Soul Masters is inherently cruel, with little regard for kinship. Haven't you seen enough instances of fathers and sons killing each other and families splitting apart over treasures?"

"There is only one rule in this world, which is that the strong are respected. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was almost destroyed by the Spirit Empire precisely because we lacked strength. That's why we need to be cautious in Heaven Dou City and have to consider the Clear Sky Sect's feelings in our actions and deeds, since they are stronger."

"Especially with this incident, if we act rashly, I'm afraid the four of us won't be able to return safely from Sunset Forest. You must understand that Tang Lie and his group of five are not much weaker than us." (End of Chapter)
