Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 325 He didn't die; Xuanzi was just blown up.

"Child, I've come to pick you up."

Such a voice echoed in Ma Xiaotao's mind.

"Who?!" Ma Xiaotao looked up abruptly.

Her head was a little sore, a side effect of her martial soul mutation.

"?" The three Sea Douluos opened their eyes at Ma Xiaotao's startled cry, looking around warily. Then, Sea Dragon Douluo smiled kindly: "Xiaotao, this is the Sea God Pavilion, there will be no danger."

Then, no sooner had he finished speaking than a roar came from afar.

Boom—Crack—!

That was the sound of a soul-guided cannon!

If Mu En hadn't perished, Feng Ling might not have chosen to use a soul tool, lest she expose the Sun Moon Empire's current strength.

But since it was clear that war was about to break out, Ye Xishui instructed her not to hold back, to bombard and destroy as needed, since Shrek Academy had city walls and the Golden Tree. Unlike some cities in the Sun Moon Empire, where a single cannon shot could reach the city center.

Feng Ling is not only a level 97 Super Evil Douluo, but also a level 9 Soul Master. In previous underground Soul Guidance Competitions in Mingdu, she was the leader of the Xishui Alliance.

The golden tree glowed in the night sky, and a bright energy shield appeared, attaching itself to the eastern wall of Shrek City. Several fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells bombarded it, as if striking a pane of glass, blasting cracks into the shield.

"Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, come out!" Black Eagle Douluo shouted from outside the city.

Lin Huiqun, the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, burst forth from the Treasure Pavilion in Shrek City, transforming into a streak of azure light and arriving in mid-air. She was none other than the mother of Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy, a Super Douluo with a cultivation level of ninety-seven, second only to Xuanzi in the Sea God Pavilion.

"Black Hawk, I didn't expect you to dare return to Douluo Continent?" Lin Huiqun said coldly. "Are you here to die?"

Black Hawk Douluo laughed, "Back when you forced me away, I was just a Soul Douluo. I said then that I would come back for revenge. Look, here I am!"

Lin Huiqun glanced at the group of soul-guided artillery emplacements a few kilometers behind Black Eagle Douluo and frowned. As one of the few elders in Shrek Academy who openly supported the development of soul-guided technology, she could immediately tell that this group of soul-guided artillery emplacements was extraordinary.

"So you really joined the Sun Moon Empire?"

Black Hawk Douluo stood in mid-air, looking at her speechlessly: "Then where else can I go?"

"Enough talk. I'm here for revenge." Two enormous wings appeared behind Black Hawk Douluo. "I advise you to be serious, or I'll blow up this city wall."

This is the Holy Spirit Cult's plan. Black Eagle Douluo and Divine Eagle Douluo were sworn enemies in the past, fighting each other their entire lives, but Black Eagle was indeed no match for her. Their fight would draw more attention, giving Feng Ling the opportunity to capture someone.

"Since you, a heretical soul master, have come seeking death, then I won't hold back."

The Azure Shadow Divine Eagle's true form and nine spirit rings appeared, transforming into a streak of azure light. This streak of light was incredibly fast, even faster than instantaneous teleportation. In the blink of an eye, she was already in front of Black Eagle Douluo.

However, Black Hawk Douluo did not seem to intend to dodge. The moment he saw the sharp eagle claws coming, a layer of transparent light waves emanated from his body. Lin Huiqun's claws grabbed at them, but it felt as if he had grabbed a thick layer of cowhide. He could only penetrate a little, but he was immediately bounced back by a force.

"Azure Eagle, we know each other too well. Although your cultivation is above mine, the existence of your soul tool has narrowed the gap between us. Besides, I am, after all, a Title Douluo specializing in agility-based attacks. How could I not have prepared for this kind of assassination attack?" Black Eagle Douluo chuckled. The soul tool he had just used was a level nine soul tool he had exchanged for through merit within the Holy Spirit Cult. It could reflect two physical attacks within a day and then recharge for four days. It was similar to the ability of Red Dust Protection.

"It's my turn!" Black Hawk Douluo shouted, and his figure disappeared.

Lin Huiqun's eyes hardened, and she instantly transformed into a streak of green light, and the two began a chase in the sky.

"How dare you! You dare to cause trouble in Shrek City? Do you really think we have no one to rely on?!" A deep voice rang out, and seven Super Douluo auras appeared on the Shrek City wall, led by Xuanzi.

Then they were met with a barrage of fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs. "Arrogant!" Xuanzi waved his hand, and a huge defense formed from earth-attribute soul power blocked their way.

Then, the shield that had been formed was shattered.

"What!" Xuanzi and the other elders were shocked.

"This power... a level seven fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, no, it's level eight!" Qian Duoduo exclaimed. "Elder Xuan, should we try to snatch it from it?"

Elder Xuan coughed twice. For some reason, ever since he returned to Shrek Academy, he seemed to have some kind of hidden ailment in his body, which sometimes prevented him from using his full strength.

"Don't we have such a thing in our academy?" Xuanzi asked.

"We've captured level 8 soul tools before and even manufactured some, but the quantity was far too small!" Xian Lin'er said, looking at the flashing light a few kilometers away. "Moreover, those we captured were all equipped with self-destruct devices, so we dare not blindly disassemble and study them."

Xuanzi looked up at the two figures chasing each other in the sky, thinking that with Elder Mu having just passed away, there were probably more people eyeing Shrek Academy than just this group; the guys from the Body Sect might also come looking for trouble. If they could really seize these cannons, it would undoubtedly strengthen Shrek Academy's fighting power.

"Alright! Then I'll give it a try!" Xuanzi stamped his foot, and the true form of the Taotie Divine Ox appeared, soaring out of the city. "Qian Duoduo, follow me!"

However, the moment they stepped off the city wall, a rumbling sound came from the other three directions at the same time!

"Not good!" Xian Lin'er frowned. "The enemy has launched soul-guided attacks simultaneously around Shrek City, and the sounds are very similar to the ones from before. That means there are at least four Title Douluos operating a group of Level 8 soul-guided turrets. Black Hawk Douluo isn't here for a one-on-one fight; he's really here for revenge!"

At least five accounts were banned!

The level 8 soul-guided cannons have an extremely long attack range, and Shrek City does not have any high-altitude reconnaissance soul-guided devices, so they simply cannot detect these pre-deployed cannons.

Xuanzi made a decisive decision: "Everyone of the Sea God Pavilion, listen to my command! Apart from me, send two elders in each of the other three directions. We must not let the enemy destroy the city walls! The Golden Tree is inside the academy, which is too far away from the other three directions."

"Yes!" All the elders dispersed at the same time. Apart from Xuanzi, Qian Duoduo and Elder Zhuang of the Tree of Life Martial Soul remained on the east side.

"Elder Xuan, are you still going to rob us?" Qian Duoduo asked timidly.

Xuanzi, brimming with heroic spirit, declared: "Go! Why wouldn't I go! I'll be right back! You don't need to come along!"

After saying that, the Taotie's true form reappeared and soared into the distance.

Upon seeing Xuanzi rushing towards him, the Title Douluo in charge of the artillery array gave a cold smile. He had three Level 8 Soul Guidance Artillery turrets beside him, and upon seeing Xuanzi approach, they immediately chose to fire continuously, leaving only three shells in their chambers. Then, he vanished.

Xuanzi released his Martial Soul True Form in mid-air during the journey. His strength as a level 98 Super Douluo made him fearless. Relying on his powerful earth-attribute Martial Soul and physical body, he continuously adjusted his defenses along the way, testing the strength of the level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannonball.

To his surprise, after being bombarded by these soul-guided shells in succession, he even had to activate his full defensive power to avoid injury. His martial soul body was indeed tough and resilient; all those chicken legs he ate hadn't been for nothing, which was why he hadn't died every time his team got into trouble.

Having finally reached a point about four kilometers away, Xuanzi spotted the three soul-guided cannons. He walked over, thinking to himself, "These external possessions are truly unreliable. So what if the cannonballs are powerful? I'm here, I'll still have to run away obediently. This time, I won't chase you. These cannons are far more valuable than a trash Title Douluo like you!"

On the eastern city wall, Elder Zhuang watched as Xuanzi reached a point several kilometers away, then suddenly asked Qian Duoduo, "You said the level-eight soul tools you seized earlier might explode..."

Before he could finish speaking, an explosion even louder than the shells that had just been fired rang out, and a cloud of smoke and dust, like a small mushroom cloud, appeared in the distance.

Since we're already here, it would be a shame not to blast it a couple of times.
