Douluo Continent: Becoming a disciple of Jing Liu, illuminating all the gods

Chapter 36 The Terrifying Ma Xiaotao

On the battlefield outside Shrek City, despite Huo Yuhao and his companions pushing their speed to the limit, they still couldn't shake off the men in black behind them. There was no way around it; the difference in their soul power levels was simply too great.

Even Wang Dong, who possesses the best soul power, only has soul power that is just over level 30.

Not to mention that Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao are only in their twenties now.

The six men in black on the other side were a terrifying lineup of five Soul Kings and one six-ring Soul Emperor!

"Why are you running? With your current mental strength, just use a soul strike on that six-ring Soul Emperor, and I guarantee he'll experience an unparalleled, exhilarating sensation!"

Just then, the lazy voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm rang out in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

"Yes!"

Huo Yuhao slapped his forehead hard, realizing he had also remembered this incident.

At this point, the situation left him no room for hesitation.

A bright purple-gold light flashed in Huo Yuhao's bright, intelligent eyes.

The Soul Emperor-level expert who was charging at the forefront felt a sharp pain in his spiritual sea.

Caught completely off guard, the leader in black lost his composure and plummeted straight down from mid-air with a muffled groan.

However, the other party was only caught off guard by the suddenness of the attack and the fact that they were ambushed.

Given that person's strength, he wouldn't necessarily perish, but he would definitely fall into a coma.

After doing all this, Huo Yuhao's spirits waned.

His mental strength had increased too rapidly, so much so that he had not yet fully adapted to its intensity.

In addition, his soul power cultivation was too low, and his physical strength was also somewhat insufficient.

When the difference between the two and his mental strength is too great, it naturally exceeds the burden he can bear.

Therefore, it's best to avoid using such full-force soul strikes until your own soul power level catches up.

……

Although Huo Yuhao sacrificed his own weakened state to temporarily eliminate the opponent's most powerful cultivator, the crisis seemed to have not diminished in the slightest.

"These side effects are too severe! I should have never listened to Tianmeng!"

Huo Yuhao complained weakly, but he didn't regret it.

After all, in times like these, escaping is incredibly difficult anyway, so it's better to be more optimistic and solve one problem at a time.

"Watch out!" Just then, Huo Yuhao heard Xiao Xiao's exclamation.

Using the last bit of strength he had left, he turned around and looked in Xiao Xiao's direction.

She's fine for now, but Wang Dong, who's not far away, is facing a huge crisis.

Two masked men with the strength of the fifth ring had silently arrived in front of Wang Dong.

But at this point, even if Huo Yuhao wanted to help, he was already powerless to do so...

They must be War Soul Kings of the Agility-Attack type, with incredibly fast speed. Wang Dong only saw two black shadows flash by before the two appeared in front of him.

In desperation, he only had time to unleash his first soul skill, barely managing to block the first attack.

The remaining man in black, however, recklessly reached forward, his fist about to strike Wang Dong's abdomen...

At that moment, a blue light descended from the sky, knocking away the Soul Master who was about to make a move.

Before the man was even placed, the sword arrived first.

As the billowing smoke dissipated, a five-foot-long sword appeared before everyone's eyes.

After the collision, the man in black fell from mid-air back to the ground, taking dozens of steps back before finally regaining his balance.

"Could it be that Shrek Academy's reinforcements have arrived so quickly?"

Their hands were trembling slightly from the collision.

"Let's see who's so bold as to attack someone from Shrek Academy!" A fierce and wild voice rang out.

Bathed in flames, Ma Xiaotao spread her phoenix wings like a fire goddess, looking down on her enemies with pride.

……

Wang Dong had already closed his eyes, ready to accept reality, but suddenly found himself in a firm yet warm embrace.

Wang Dong saw Chen Qiye, whose eyes no longer held their usual carefree and casual demeanor, but instead held a resolute look and a hint of killing intent.

Nestled in Chen Qiye's warm embrace, Wang Dong felt an overwhelming sense of security...

After a brief moment of calm, Wang Dong suddenly remembered something and quickly left Chen Qiye's embrace.

She's now a boy, and if someone saw this, who knows what they'd think of the two of them.

Without any surprises, people will definitely suspect that his sexual orientation is abnormal.

At this moment, Wang Dong's "handsome face" was as red as a ripe apple, while Chen Qiye remained perfectly normal on the surface.

In the eyes of the two men in black, Chen Qiye's gaze was filled with murderous intent, and he looked cold and sinister, but in reality, his mind had already wandered off somewhere else.

The thought of the boneless sensation of Wang Dong's body in his arms made Chen Qiye's heart pound.

Let alone the dozen or so years since he came to this world, even including the twenty years of his previous life, this is the first time he has experienced such a feeling.

"Could it be that I've really fallen for her?" Recalling how he had guessed Wang Dong was in danger, Chen Qiye realized that his heart had changed.

"No, no, no, how could I possibly like her? That girl is so cunning, she must have given me some kind of love potion!"

.........

"Let's see who dares to attack our students at the gates of Shrek City!"

Ma Xiaotao roared, and seven super-powerful spirit rings—three purple, three black, and one red—rose from beneath her feet!

Upon seeing these seven exceptionally powerful spirit rings, the leader made a decisive move, waving his right hand and leading his subordinates in a hasty retreat.

"Trying to leave? If you let one of my women go, I'm not the Flame Demon Ma Xiaotao!" Ma Xiaotao was furious when she saw that the other party was about to run away.

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao's seven spirit rings shone brightly under the flames, with the second and third rings lighting up simultaneously. Intense golden-red flames erupted from her body like a geyser. With a sudden flap of her wings, she propelled herself like a fiery meteor, chasing after the six opponents.

Judging from her expression, she's clearly going to take on six people at once!

Fierce? Yes, fierce! But this is also a symbol of strength.

The enemy's six members were also very fast, but after Ma Xiaotao simultaneously used her second soul skill, Phoenix Rebirth, and her third soul skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring, her speed surpassed theirs. Moreover, in order to intercept her opponents as quickly as possible, Ma Xiaotao activated another soul skill the instant after her body flew out horizontally. No, to be precise, two more soul skills, and neither of them were soul ring skills.

Suddenly, Ma Xiaotao's legs lit up simultaneously, and circles of golden-red light patterns instantly flowed backward. Then, two beams of golden-red flame shot out from the soles of her feet.

Because her speed increased so rapidly in a short period of time, a series of explosions and shrieks erupted in the air wherever Ma Xiaotao passed.

Although Huo Yuhao and the other two were somewhat exhausted, their minds were still very clear. Seeing this scene, both of them couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.

They knew, of course, that the inner court disciples were formidable, but it was only after Ma Xiaotao initiated the battle that they realized just how powerful the woman before them truly was.

In pursuit of the enemy, she unleashed four spirit skills in quick succession. The speed Ma Xiaotao achieved at that moment was beyond their wildest imaginations. Even an eighth-ringed or ordinary titled Douluo might not be able to match her.

Furthermore, the two soul skills she used later should have originated from soul bones. In other words, Ma Xiaotao's legs should already have soul bones attached to them, and they should be identical soul bones.

With a fierce whistle and an airburst, Ma Xiaotao blasted into the six opponents like a cannonball. From the moment she used Phoenix Rebirth and Phoenix Wings Skyward to accelerate, to the instantaneous activation of the two soul bone skills that caused her speed to surge, only two or three seconds had passed.

Even when she crashed into the enemy formation, they were caught completely off guard and hadn't had time to react. Ma Xiaotao had already charged straight to the core of the other five Soul Kings.

"boom--"

All Huo Yuhao and the other two saw was Ma Xiaotao blasting into the enemy formation, followed by a terrifying explosion. A huge pillar of golden-red flames shot up more than ten meters high, and a loud phoenix cry could be faintly heard. The figure of the fire phoenix circled around the huge pillar of fire.
