Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

After Tang San left, Tang Chen's expression seemed to subtly change; half of his body turned bright red, while the other half remained normal.

A strange voice suddenly came from inside Tang Chen's body: "Tang Chen, your body can't take it anymore, why are you still waiting for that Yang Ping'an? Wouldn't it be better to go back to the City of Slaughter now? You are the true King of Slaughter there."

Tang Chen himself appeared extremely distressed: "Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, you should stop thinking about it. I will never return to the City of Slaughter. If you want to go back, go back yourself. At worst, we'll fight to the death."

The crimson figure seemed incredibly sinister: "Your body is already riddled with holes, and you don't even have many days left to live. Why won't you go back to the City of Slaughter? You can continue to live there, and even continue to exist as a high and mighty being."

"Yang Ping'an is coming soon. He's stronger than you now, and I don't want you to die too soon."

Tang Chen let out a strange laugh: "I didn't expect you to have moments of fear. But have you ever thought about changing your host? I think Yang Ping'an is quite good."

The crimson figure seemed to yearn for it: "Yang Ping'an could indeed be a good host, but you should know that neither you nor I are his match. Rather than taking the risk, you might as well return to the City of Slaughter and live a carefree life."

Tang Chen gritted his teeth: "The City of Slaughter isn't a place you can just return to whenever you want. For the sake of the Haotian Sect, Yang Ping'an must die. You have no hope if you help me; otherwise, we'll both die together."

The crimson figure hesitated for a moment: "Even if I use all my strength, I still can't truly possess the body of a Limit Douluo. Compared to Yang Ping'an, I have a better candidate."

Tang Chen sneered, "You're just a cowardly coward who only knows how to take advantage of others. I know your target is my great-grandson Tang San, but that's impossible. I'd rather die than let you have your way."

"If you are willing to cooperate with me, I can give you a completely new body, and you will be incredibly powerful in the future, even able to rule the entire world."

The crimson figure seemed tempted: "What's your plan?"

Tang Chen laughed heartily: "As long as you cooperate fully with me and allow me to unleash my full power, I can severely injure Yang Ping'an with the Asura Demon Sword, and even destroy his soul. Then, wouldn't the entire world be yours to rule?"

The crimson figure hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Very well, I hope you won't disappoint me, otherwise you will also suffer a terrible death, and even the entire Haotian Sect will suffer a terrible death."

As time went by, Tang Chen's body gradually calmed down, and the fierce aura he originally exuded gradually disappeared, eventually transforming him into an exceptionally peaceful old man.

Tang Chen waved his finger, and two words appeared on the originally smooth stone wall: "Killing Trap".

The two characters "杀局" (killing game) sound incredibly powerful, seemingly exuding boundless killing intent, and also like a chess game, seemingly possessing some kind of wisdom, like a scheme.

"Yang Ping'an, I'd like to see just how tough your life really is. Will you truly survive this deadly trap I've set?"

Tang Chen then rested and recuperated in the secret room, preparing to welcome Yang Ping'an's arrival, which was also his final move to kill Yang Ping'an.

This deadly situation is by no means simple; it involves more than just Tang Chen, and the target is not just Yang Ping'an.

Compared to the other two Limit Douluo, Tang Chen's talent is higher. He seems to be stronger in terms of intelligence and other aspects. Otherwise, he could not have made the Clear Sky Sect the number one sect in the world, and even the Spirit Hall had to avoid his sharp edge back then.

In a military camp somewhere in the Heaven Dou Empire, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and Ning Rongrong were sitting together, and even Sword Douluo had come to the camp.

Upon receiving news that Yang Ping'an had defeated Qian Daoliu, Sword Douluo immediately arrived at the front-line military camp of the Heaven Dou Empire. This news was of immense importance and significance.

Especially since Sword Douluo knows that Yang Ping'an has a grudge against the Clear Sky Sect, and will probably challenge Tang Chen immediately after defeating Qian Daoliu, then Heaven Dou City will probably become the battlefield of the two Limit Douluos, and some unknown changes may occur.

Sword Douluo immediately summoned all the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School near Heaven Dou City back to the sect, while he himself quickly went to the front-line military camp. This matter required Ning Fengzhi to make the decision.

At this moment, the four of them looked extremely solemn. According to their original assumptions, Yang Ping'an should have joined the Martial Soul Empire long ago. How could news of Yang Ping'an defeating Qian Daoliu suddenly appear?

Moreover, this news has been widely confirmed. The battle between the two has spread for dozens of kilometers over Tiandou City. In particular, their earth-shattering aura is incredibly oppressive, and no one would doubt the authenticity of this battle.

Ning Fengzhi remained silent for a while before speaking: "Uncle Jian, what do you think is the relationship between Yang Ping'an and the Spirit Empire? Logically speaking, Qian Daoliu has a high status within the Spirit Empire. If Yang Ping'an wanted to challenge him, he wouldn't be able to do it so openly in Spirit City. I feel like there's something wrong with this."

Sword Douluo pondered for a while: "This battle can't be faked. Our spies in Spirit City have also confirmed it. Could it be that they had a falling out over something? But if they really had a falling out, given their personalities, they wouldn't have given up so easily. In fact, the entire Spirit City suffered no losses. They seem to be sparring, but why make such a big fuss?"

"Especially since this news spread throughout the entire continent so quickly, it's impossible to say that no one was behind it."

Ning Rongrong was also a little puzzled: "Grandpa Sword, I've been wondering lately, if Yang Ping'an really joined the Spirit Empire, why didn't he attack us in Sunset Forest back then?"

"Based on your analysis, Grandpa Jian, if Yang Ping'an had attacked us back then, we might not have been able to escape unscathed."

Ning Fengzhi thought more deeply and had more experience: "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, could it be that the relationship between Yang Ping'an and the Martial Soul Empire, which we have been speculating about, is not as close as we think? Otherwise, if Yang Ping'an and Qian Daoliu came to the battlefield at the same time, the two empires would probably have no power to fight back."

Although another silence fell, the situation seemed worse than expected.

Yang Ping'an clearly intends to challenge Tang Chen. If Tang Chen dies, the Spirit Empire will have no more scruples and will likely have to face three Limit Douluos.

Even if Yang Ping'an loses, with his strength he can definitely severely injure Tang Chen. What qualifications does a seriously injured Tang Chen have to be on par with the Spirit Hall?

Bone Douluo then spoke: "Feng Zhi, for the sake of the continuation of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we probably need to make preparations as soon as possible."

Ning Fengzhi thought for a long time before speaking: "Uncle Jian, according to the final plan we set out, you should immediately lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples in Tiandou City to leave, taking Rongrong with you, and you must leave quickly."

Ning Rongrong seemed extremely reluctant to part with him: "Dad, I don't want to leave you. If we have to go, we'll go together."

Ning Fengzhi also showed a hint of reluctance: "Rongrong, be good. You're just leaving first. Uncle Gu and I will be here soon. Besides, it's more convenient for Uncle Gu and me to act together."

In the end, Ning Rongrong and Sword Douluo left the Tian Dou front-line military camp.

Bone Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi with a hint of reluctance: "Fengzhi, it's not too late for you to leave now. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has paid too much for this war, and it's time for us to stop."

Ning Fengzhi gave a bitter smile: "Uncle Gu, it's a bit too late to say all this now. The Spirit Hall destroyed my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and we've lost over a hundred more people in this war."

"Whenever I close my eyes, all I see in my mind is the scene of that night when my family was wiped out, the endless corpses and the sea of ​​fire. If I really escape now, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep for the rest of my life."

"Fortunately, there are still Rongrong and Uncle Jian, so the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not be completely cut off from its lineage. I can say that I have given an account to my ancestors."

"If things really come to a standstill, I hope you'll protect Rongrong from now on, Uncle Gu."

Bone Douluo nodded heavily, clearly as if making some kind of decision.

Compared to Sword Douluo's formidable offensive capabilities, Bone Douluo is proficient in defense and spatial manipulation, making him the best escape artist in the world. In a real crisis, he should have no problem leaving.

Inside the Haotian Sect's military camp, Tang Xiao and the four elders had extremely gloomy expressions.

The Clear Sky Sect and Yang Ping'an were already mortal enemies, especially since Yang Ping'an had killed two Title Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect in succession, making their enmity as deep as the sea.

Now that we suddenly receive news that Yang Ping'an actually defeated Qian Daoliu, doesn't that mean Yang Ping'an has now reached the level of a Limit Douluo at level ninety-nine, and can even be considered the true number one expert in the world?

It should be noted that Bibi Dong had just entered level 99, but in terms of both prestige and strength, Qian Daoliu was superior to Bibi Dong.

The Second Elder spoke first: "Sect Master, should we return to Heaven Dou City immediately? This Yang Ping'an might challenge the old Sect Master, and might even try to kill Tang San to eliminate any future threats."

In the eyes of the Haotian Sect members, Tang Chen and Tang San were the two most important people, even more so than Tang Xiao, the sect leader.

Tang Chen is the pillar of the entire Clear Sky Sect. Only with Tang Chen's existence can the Clear Sky Sect truly dare to emerge from seclusion and have the confidence to fight against the Spirit Empire.

Tang San, on the other hand, represents the future of the entire Clear Sky Sect. His talent and strength are already exceptional, and he will surely be able to advance to the Limit Douluo level and lead the Clear Sky Sect to glory in the future.

Tang Xiao's expression was unusually solemn: "Elders, now is not the time to discuss such topics. If the Heavenly Dou Empire is defeated this time, the Clear Sky Sect will have no hope of rising again."

"As for the matter of Tiandou City, my grandfather has already made arrangements. He has written to me, telling us to focus only on the front-line battles. He has his own way of dealing with Yang Ping'an, and he can even resolve the current hidden dangers facing the entire Haotian Sect."

The elders of the Haotian Sect fell silent. They had always unconditionally obeyed any decision made by their ancestor, but this Yang Ping'an was far too powerful. He might even be the strongest enemy in the history of the Haotian Sect, and also the most ruthless enemy in the history of the Haotian Sect.

On the outskirts of the frozen forest in the far north, the Four Elements Academy could quickly establish a relatively small academy nearby.

Because the design and construction were rushed, the overall facilities are far inferior to the original Element Academy, and it is quite crowded. However, its greatest advantage is its isolation from the world. With the strength of Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er, no one dares to easily offend them.

This place is merely a refuge from the world; once the war ends, everyone will return to their original academy—it's more like a refuge from disaster. (End of Chapter)
