Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 405 Sword Intent Condensed

Qian Renxue was naturally unaware that the tiny bit of poison she had planted in Xuanzi's body was amplified during the battle between the two level 98 beings and entered Xuanzi's soul.

She hadn't expected that these toxins would enter the golden tree through infection.

Moreover, because she has lost Ye Xishui's blood connection, she is currently unable to sense those toxins.

She is currently meditating in Starsea City.

Just as she had envisioned, this time, the sea turtle couldn't sit still any longer.

Based on her understanding of the composition of the Sea Douluo, there should be four remaining island-guarding Douluo besides the already deceased Starfish and Sea Maiden, and the captured Sea Illusion: Sea Dragon, Sea Spear, Sea Horse, and Sea Ghost.

Then, Ma Xiaotao said that the Sea Dragon, Sea Spear, and Seahorse were at Shrek Academy. Therefore, in the Sea God Valley, there should still be one Sea Ghost Douluo and one Limit Douluo that Long Xiaoyao encountered.

Perhaps this Limit Douluo is the current High Priest and Grand Elder of the Sea God?

However, according to Long Xiaoyao and Lin Mengtong, the number of Title Douluos in Sea God Valley should be more than just these few Sea Douluos.

It doesn't matter, I'm going to kill them all anyway. And because they're Sea Douluo, I can't let them go.

Are you going to put down your knife? If you do, they will kill you.

Are you pitying them for losing their faith in the future? Once they catch their breath, they'll kill you.

Are you going to give in? If you ever find yourself back on the edge of the cliff, they'll still kill you.

It's easier to kill them than to tame these true followers of the sea god.

Every girl's first dream should be to become a carefree princess, not a vengeful demon. But there's no way around it; that's fate.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes.

She spent two days adjusting her aura and completely stabilizing her cultivation level at level 52, instead of the unstable state she had been in a few days prior when she first entered cultivation.

She slowly extended her hands, and fine scales appeared. These scales came from the White Dragon Pill, or more accurately, the Light Dragon Pill, because Qian Renxue clearly felt a kind of light energy being injected into her Angelic Martial Soul.

Subsequently, after she absorbed the external palm bones, these scales changed, turning into their current dark purple color as she activated her second martial soul. The activation of a soul bone is unrelated to the martial soul, but these scales are not soul bones, thus creating an exception.

"Why haven't they arrived yet?" Qian Renxue muttered to herself.

Just then, a telepathic message entered her mind: "You've emerged from seclusion? Come over if you have."

Qian Renxue left her secluded room and then went to the outskirts of Xinghai City.

Ye Xishui was waiting for her here: "Hai Douluo did not rashly enter the Star Sea Empire, but stopped at the border between the Divine Luo Empire and the Star Sea Empire, seemingly in a military tent over there."

Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback: "Do they intend to launch another war against the Star Sea Empire?"

"That seems to be the case, but the Shinra Empire doesn't seem willing to follow their orders, feeling it's suicide," Ye Xishui said. "Because the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps has already rushed to the border and set up artillery positions."

"There must be other moves, right?" Qian Renxue asked hesitantly.

"That's right. At Dai Hao's instigation..." Ye Xishui's expression was a bit strange, "They proposed a duel in the form of a life-or-death arena as a wager. If they win, then we'll return Sea Illusion Douluo. If we win, then Seahorse Douluo will cripple his cultivation."

"...?" No, can fighting in the arena really solve all the problems?

Could it be that one day in the future, if I successfully invade the realm of gods, that so-called God Realm Committee will still propose a ridiculous thing like a contest to determine the winner?

"What a pain." Qian Renxue shook her head. "Since they want to play this game, why not just take Seahorse Douluo's life as well? What are the rules and restrictions of this duel?"

Ye Xishui said, "It is divided into three battlefields: one for Soul Kings to Soul Emperors, one for Soul Saints to Soul Douluos, and one for Title Douluos."

"I can understand the other two, but would something like this still happen at the Title Douluo level?"

"To be honest, I find it hard to understand either. But this could be considered... a tradition within the Star Luo army, right? I witnessed this kind of thing happening in the Star Luo army from afar when I was cultivating on the Mingdou Mountains. They probably thought it was a show of force against the Sun Moon Empire, but in reality—"

Ye Xishui also looked helpless: "Actually, while they were fighting in the arena, the Sun Moon Empire's army had already aimed their cannons at them."

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment: "Then let's go and see. If it's really true, then I can go into battle."

"Didn't you say you couldn't use your ultimate move right now?"

"Her cultivation seems to have hit a bottleneck, and she's been complaining. It'll be good to let her out and have some fun sometime." The little devil chuckled. "What can I do, spoiling her so much?"

……

The Starsea Empire wasn't very large, and Ye Xishui quickly brought Qian Renxue to the border.

Ju Zi was also there, and this time, Qian Renxue and she greeted each other directly. After all, the Star Sea Empire had explicitly mentioned the Temple when it surrendered, and when Xu Jiujiu issued his statement.

However, they pretended not to know each other, exchanged pleasantries, and then got down to business.

"What kind of trouble are they stirring up, General Staff?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Young Master of the Temple," Orange nodded, "they probably think that Soul Masters are more powerful than Soul Masters when they propose these betting rules, so they're just being cunning."

That's not entirely wrong. After all, the advantage of Soul Masters lies in group battles. Qian Renxue thought to herself.

"What are our requirements?"

"An elder of the Silver Moon Temple, Begonia Douluo, said that they should change the battles between Soul Kings and Soul Emperors to a team-based format," Orange replied. "Perhaps because they knew you were coming."

"Don't tease me." Qian Renxue looked a little annoyed.

Orange suddenly felt that the young master of the temple in front of her was a little more amiable than during the last negotiation.

However, she didn't think much of it. After all, many people were watching, and it was best to just pretend and not say anything.

"Has the candidate been decided yet?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Not yet. Since the other two battlefields are one-on-one duels, the Holy Temple and our Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps will each send one person. As for the duels between Soul Kings and Soul Emperors, since you're here, it would be a shame not to join in the fun."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue, who had transformed into a little angel, pondered for a moment.

Alright, let's give it a try and see if I can solidify my sword intent here.
