Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 164 Blood Six Falls, Ghost Emperor's Ingenious Ideas, Meeting of the Three Giants: Cao Yunzang

"Your Majesty, please take your man away; I will not kill a federal hero like him unless absolutely necessary."

In the award ceremony, the boy's clear and magnetic voice echoed, announcing the end of this three-move battle.

Feng Zaixing was well aware that his reputation was based on the Blood God Legion, and he absolutely could not kill Blood Six today, otherwise he would be destroying his own reputation.

Cao Dezhi gave Feng Zaixing a deep look, nodded, and walked towards Xue Liu.

He could tell that Feng Zaixing had held back in his final move.

But the next moment, his pupils dilated sharply: "Blood Six, you?"

"Sect Master, I said I would definitely take revenge; now that we've been defeated, I don't want to live anymore." Xue Liu ignited the flame of his life, determined to die.

Cao Dezhi hurriedly pointed several fingers, intending to stop Xue Liu, but it was to no avail. Once the flame of life was ignited, even a Limit Douluo was powerless to reverse the situation.

Feng Zaixing shook his head slightly. He had the Life Tree and had burned his life before, so he had the experience to stop Blood Six; but in the current situation, he didn't need to do so.

This was bound to happen sooner or later, ever since he decided to take action against the reclusive sects.

"raging!"

The flame of life burned out, and Xue Liu fell to ashes, leaving nothing behind except his three-word battle armor.

Cao Dezhi lowered his body, put away his three-word battle armor, his expression sorrowful, and then summoned the Ruthless Sword, soaring into the sky.

The situation was more serious than he had imagined; a young man even more amazing than Yun Ming had emerged in the Federation.

"The conferment of ranks continues."

Feng Zaixing spoke up to ease the awkward situation, and the way the Federal Speaker and the Minister of the Army looked at the young man changed drastically, no longer showing any contempt.

"it is good."

The new rank insignia appeared on the bodies of the Yixin Society members, and the young men and women were filled with pride, standing tall and proud.

As Gu Yue completed the awarding of medals, a mischievous voice echoed in his mind.

"How about it, Big Silver Dragon? Can you finally give up? Your brother is really strong now."

Gu Yue immediately raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "What's so special about this strength? Before I transformed, I could take him down with just a little finger."

"But you are very weak now. The past is the past, and the present is the present. Why don't you talk about the Dragon God era?"

'

Na'er unleashed a barrage of attacks, reminding Gu Yue to recognize the reality that she is currently a weakling.

Gu Yue gritted her teeth: "————"

That idiot is awful, but what he said does seem to make a little bit of a point.

Unless there is some great opportunity, I probably have no hope of suppressing Feng Zaixing by force in the short term.

With no hope of restarting Plan A, we will continue with Plan B: covert infiltration.

"I'll have Di Tian look for any other hidden sects that deserve to die—hmm, Haotian Sect is not bad."

With his superior intelligence, Gu Yue saw this as a good opportunity to weaken human power amidst the chaos and let the ferocious beasts vent their anger.

In the Douling Continent, at an important warehouse of the Tang Sect.

A swarm of bald swarms foraged for food among the blood and bones, crows cawing on withered vines, and the once-prosperous Tang Clan was now desolate.

"Whoosh!" A melodious sword cry suddenly rang out, and a crescent-shaped black light swept up, startling away thousands of birds.

The Ghost Emperor, high in the sky, noticed this scene, descended, and laughed at the instigator: "What has gotten into you, making you angry with a bunch of beasts?"

"Many of my strongholds in Douluo Continent have been destroyed, and many of my subordinates were there."

A cold, alluring voice drifted from her purplish-red lips. A terrifying figure, like a ghost of the night, emerged from the dark earth. A purplish-black light enveloped her voluptuous, tall, devilish figure. Her face was strangely beautiful, frighteningly white, and bore a resemblance to Leng Yaozhu.

Dark Phoenix Douluo, Leng Yulai.

"It was expected; they were always intended to be expendable."

The Ghost Emperor chuckled nonchalantly, then, as if recalling something amusing, chuckled and teased, "Those reclusive family experts who admired you rarely survived. Is that why you're angry?"

"Those disgusting things are just trying to use our power to do things they can't do themselves. Otherwise, why would their families tolerate their contact with our sect?"

Leng Yulai said coldly, "But they suffered heavy casualties, and most of our intelligence network in Douluo Continent was destroyed. Rebuilding it will be extremely difficult."

"The Federation has ruthlessly wiped out twelve long-established hidden families and sects, but also eliminated all those involved."

Leng Yulai sneered, "Everyone says that our Holy Spirit Sect is ruthless, but we wiped out the entire Tang Sect on the Douling Continent, and the number of Title Douluos we killed was only a fraction of theirs."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor gave a wicked smile: "We have caused at least millions of deaths in the Douling Empire. It's a lame joke for evil soul masters to mock others for being ruthless."

"Old Ha killed countless people to resurrect the twelve Death Knights; your breakthrough is also thanks to these resources."

With the Dark Blood Demon and Dark Hummingbird gone, Leng Yulai, who was ranked last, automatically became the Second King; a large number of elites of the Holy Spirit Cult died, and Leng Yulai received more than twice the resources, and recently advanced to level ninety-eight.

Leng Yulai snorted and didn't say anything more.

The Ghost Emperor's eyes flickered with ghostly light as he glanced at the soul-guided light screen in Leng Yulai's hand, which was broadcasting the Mingdu conferment ceremony live. His gaze then turned to Feng Zaixing.

"Tsk tsk, a two-word Soul Emperor defeating a three-word title. Yun Ming wasn't this monstrous back then. His growth rate is even faster than I imagined."

"Dark Phoenix, how confident are you in killing him?"

Leng Yulai raised her chin and said coldly, "Are you underestimating me? I can kill him with one hand."

"Instead of worrying about this little thing, you should worry about Yun Ming; Cao Dezhi is back, he no longer has any worries, and he will definitely come after us. You know the power of the Sky-Piercing Spear better than I do."

"Gagagagagaga——————Anyone who believes the story of a cross-sea chase is a fool. No matter how powerful Yun Ming is, he cannot easily cross the endless seas."

The Ghost Emperor burst into wild laughter, laughing so hard he could barely breathe: "Although my injuries haven't fully healed, as long as I find a place to hide at sea, Yun Ming, no matter how powerful, won't be able to find me!"

"Moreover, he has suffered two setbacks in front of the Federation and has lost his edge. He is no longer the Yun Ming he once was. I am considering whether to continue to make Shrek City my primary target."

Leng Yulai frowned and said, "Since we're going to retreat, we'd better make arrangements quickly, otherwise another batch of our men will die."

"Die, die! He killed my men, so I'll kill the civilians; just like Feng Zaixing said, the civilians here will hold them accountable!"

The Ghost Emperor rubbed his hands together and chuckled wildly: "I can't wait to see what it would be like for the Shrek people to be condemned by everyone!"

Suddenly, he called out behind him, "Blood Eyes!"

"grown ups."

The dark shadows gathered, transforming into a figure in gray, with a female voice and bloodshot eyes.

"How's the communication with the Douling Emperor going? Is he willing to cooperate with us?" the Ghost Emperor asked with a smile.

"Of course he agreed." Dark Blood Eyes said respectfully, "The Douling Royal Family only has two Super Douluo who have no hope of breaking through to the limit realm. After I and Lord Hades went to him, he readily agreed, explained all the military deployments, opened the national treasury, and let us take the resources and soul guide weapons."

"I have seen it with my own eyes. There are many level 9 soul tools that Tang Sect has traded with them, including many level 9 fixed soul tool shells, and even two level 10 ones. However, the activation switch is with Tang Sect."

"Hmph, we've wiped out the Tang Clan branch, and I already figured out the activation code. Do you think they'll refuse to cooperate?"

The Ghost Emperor scoffed coldly, soaring into the sky. He chuckled sinisterly, "I heard that the Tang Clan's underground arsenal in Tiandou City was blown to smithereens. What if I planted some shells here and detonated them remotely when Yun Ming and the others arrived?"

He turned his bloodless face to the side, his ghostly eyes fixed on Douluo Continent, his voice growing softer and his expression increasingly crazed.

"How wonderful that scene would be?"

"After so many years apart, I never imagined things would change so much."

Lord Poseidon, Cao Dezhi, all alone, finally met Yun Ming and Zang Xin, who had been waiting for him. They looked at each other and sighed.

The principle of holding small meetings for important matters and large meetings for minor matters applies everywhere. The three ultimate powerhouses, Yun, Cao, and Zang, met to discuss the future of the two endangered forces.

Zang Xin spoke first, describing the situation: "The Tang Clan was originally the biggest financial backer of the dove faction, many hidden sects, the Shen family, and some small and medium-sized families. The hawk faction, the Guo family, also received our funding."

"We are involved with several of the largest manufacturers and distributors of soul tools in the Federation today, accounting for one-third of them—"

We hold a controlling stake, and we own 60% of the remaining two-thirds; the production capacity of the Tiandou City headquarters arsenal can easily support a war.

In short, the Tang Clan controls the lifeline of the Sun Moon Federation's soul tool enterprises, making them a veritable oligarch, which is also the reason why Feng Zaixing is making every effort to dismantle them.

"But! The Great Explosion of Tiandou City changed everything."

Even now, Zang Xin still can't bear to recall it, and said with deep sorrow, "The military factory was completely destroyed. In order to cope with the huge compensation, we paid off one-third of our Soul Guidance Device holdings. The Federation will never give us another chance to rebuild the arsenal."

"The researchers and their achievements are all gone. The new research institute doesn't even have a framework. Our soul guidance technology has regressed by thousands of years."

"The layout of Douling Continent has been destroyed, and the series of effects have even begun to affect Xingluo."

Cao Dezhi's veins bulged as he calculated the gains and losses: "Including the destruction of the hidden sects, the Tang Clan's strength is less than a third of what it was ten years ago."

Yun Ming sighed, "Shrek's reputation has been severely damaged, and the new generation is powerless. If this continues, Shrek may be finished once I die."

Cao Dezhi concluded: "It now seems that the hawks are getting restless and may soon put war on the agenda."

"Moreover, their attitude is extremely tough. If we don't back down, we will become their target as well."

"Bang!"

Yun Ming slammed his fist on the table, angrily saying, "Sometimes I really want to kill my way to Mingdu and fight them to the death!"

"But we are not as good as before. The people will not support us. The hawks act domineeringly, but they can't find fault with what they do."

Cao Dezhi scratched his head and said, "To restore our reputation and strengthen our strength, I think we should split our forces into two groups."

"What do you mean?" Yun and Zang both looked at him.

Cao Dezhi cleared his throat and slowly began to speak: "I think—"
