Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 173 Ghost Emperor: After today, how much fighting power will the mighty Sky-Supporting Douluo still have!

"What do you mean by saying that when our trainees arrived at the Mingdu Tang Clan branch, they saw the branch had been bombed, and they didn't even have a chance to challenge them?"

In Shrek City, at the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Dongfeng stared into deep thought as he looked at the video of Tang Xie sent by Qian Gu Zhangting.

"Grandpa, that's the situation. Anyway, well—"

Qian Gu Zhangting stammered for a while, then, meeting his grandfather's increasingly strange gaze, he forced himself to say, "The Mingdu Tang Clan is finished. The eldest daughter of the Yu family, citing the Mingdu Tang Clan's rebellion against official duties, mobilized the Central Army Corps' forces across units to attack the Tang Clan's businesses around Mingdu."

"Many cities are under martial law, so our college's final exam is essentially canceled. What should we do?"

"What?! I'm so happy the Tang Sect is doing so well—I'm so sad!"

Qian Gu Dongfeng almost blurted out his true feelings, but he suppressed his disobedient smile and waved his hand, saying, "You can do these things yourselves. I have many things to do and need to focus my energy on the Spirit Transmission Tower. Go on."

"Okay." Qian Gu Zhangting left, and whether it was his imagination or not, he felt that the moment the dean's office door closed, he heard his grandfather's maniacal laughter.

"Hahahaha, ahahahaha————"

The image of Qian Gu Dong Feng slapping the table and having a blast flashed through Qian Gu Zhang Ting's mind, much like the smug look of a villain in a movie.

Shaking his head, the grandson of the Spirit Pagoda hummed a little tune as he walked, swaying around the Spirit Pagoda.

"The FBI is a master at their operations; I, too, must produce some results."

As future plans flashed through his mind, and he recalled how someone in Mingdu had effortlessly defeated a Title Douluo-level three-word Douluo Armor Master, Qian Gu Zhangting couldn't help but furrow his otherwise handsome brows.

Now that Shrek Academy is free of pressure, that guy is becoming too popular, and his cultivation speed and combat power are both monstrous.

On the awarding platform, Bai Xue Liu's ranking on the Continental Ranking rose to 48th place, with established Limit Douluo, Super Douluo, and top-tier Title Douluo all ahead of him.

Furthermore, people inside the Spirit Pagoda would often discuss what he was, calling him a "unparalleled genius in thousands of years on the continent," which annoyed Qian Gu Zhangting.

I have my limits too. I am your future boss. Instead of sucking up to me, you're discussing an outsider?

Once I'm in charge, I'll definitely send all of you old fogies who love to talk big and do nothing to the "clean water" department!

As he walked, he arrived at the Soul Spirit Research and Development Department. Just as he was about to step forward and show off his power, he saw the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu leading a slender young woman inside, giving instructions. He immediately shrank back.

A few days ago, her grandfather recommended Leng Yaozhu to become a lifelong laborer in the Blood God Legion, which offended people quite a bit.

However, the girl she brought with her was extraordinary. Judging from the fluctuations in her soul power, she seemed to be a Soul King. When did the Spirit Pagoda produce a genius that she didn't know about?

"Young Master Qian Gu, is there something you need?"

Just as Qian Guzhangting was lost in thought, Leng Yaozhu's cool voice drifted out from the R&D department.

Qian Gu Zhangting suddenly shuddered and said with a forced smile, "I was just taking a walk, I didn't expect to find you here, Deputy Tower Master Leng, what a coincidence! Is this your disciple?

As he spoke, he revealed a simple and honest expression, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Leng Yaozhu's back.

Gu Yue stood quietly, her long, white hair flowing smoothly over her slender shoulders like brocade, highlighting her stunning beauty. Her bright red eyes gleamed with an indifferent light, showing no intention of making any progress by greeting the grandson of the Spirit Pagoda.

Having witnessed extraordinary geniuses, the arrogant Silver Dragon King didn't even bother to glance at ordinary top geniuses like Qian Gu Zhangting.

However, Qian Gu Zhangting became somewhat interested, as he hadn't seen such an "arrogant" second-generation figure as Gu Yue at the Spirit Pagoda for a long time.

She's really beautiful, it's a pity she's too young.

Leng Yaozhu glanced at Qian Gu Zhangting and said indifferently, "My disciple Gu Yue has just returned from advanced studies at Mingde Hall. He is quite interested in soul guidance technology and soul spirit research, and will be visiting more often in the coming days. No need to ask any further questions."

That's very impolite. Your grandfather wants to get rid of me so he can take over the Phoenix Clan in one fell swoop. As the deputy tower master, I don't need to be polite to you. Don't be so eager to die!

According to Gu Yue, she is already a core member of the Yixin Society and has reached a cooperation agreement with Feng Zaixing. The Yixin Society will support Gu Yue in becoming the master of the Spirit Transmission Tower in the future.

This was undoubtedly a godsend for Leng Yaozhu.

With Yi Xin Hui present, what is the Grandson of the Spirit Transmission Pavilion? Feng Zaixing's two most powerful generals could easily take him down.

Currently, Yixinhui and Guyue still need time to grow. Leng Yaozhu won't directly overturn the table, but she will no longer pretend to be something she's not. It's nothing, Qian Gu Dongfeng made the first move.

After running into a snag at Qian Gu Zhang Ting, he gave a dry laugh and slipped away, cursing his bad luck inwardly.

Leng Yaozhu didn't take this little incident to heart and continued to help Gu Yue familiarize herself with the affairs of the research department.

Suddenly, a piercing noise came from beyond the sky.

"The East Wind of a Thousand Years, it's been many years since we last met. How have you been?" Cao Dezhi arrived riding on his ruthless sword, his handsome face showing signs of vicissitude.

"Oh, Brother Cao, you've actually come! What a rare guest." Qian Gu Dong Feng greeted Cao Dezhi with a smile, looking very relaxed.

Cao Dezhi's eyes flickered, thinking to himself, "I hope you still have some sense and can understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold' (meaning that if one's lips are gone, the other will be cold)."

The powerful figures of the Spirit Pagoda watched the meeting between the leaders of the two major forces, each harboring their own speculations.

However, they soon saw Cao Dezhi walk out with a livid face, and without saying a word, he vanished into thin air, leaving even faster than he had arrived.

Qian Gu Dongfeng sat at his desk and tossed away Cao Dezhi's half-finished teacup.

"Given the current situation, what qualifications does your Tang Sect have to discuss cooperation with me? You think I'll use the Spirit Transfer Tower to shield you from harm? Dream on!"

"What do you mean, 'Our Holy Spirit Cult hasn't even made a move yet, and the Tang Clan's branch in Mingdu has already been bombed'?"

In the Douling Empire, the Ghost Emperor, upon reading the message from Leng Yulai, also fell into deep thought.

The federal government, annoyed that they had run away, decided to intervene themselves?

Leng Yulai explained, "The Tang Clan assassinated Feng Zaixing, reportedly pushing him to the brink of death, but he miraculously survived."

"Cao Dezhi was surrounded, but Feng Zaixing released him out of righteousness. The Tang Clan was attacked by the FBI, and the Mingdu branch and Tang Clan's businesses in dozens of surrounding cities were affected and subjected to a complete crackdown."

The Ghost Emperor remained silent for a moment, then clicked his tongue and said, "It's Feng Zaixing again. Sometimes I really wonder who the evil soul master is. He has dealt a much bigger blow to the Shi Tang faction than we have."

Leng Yulai sneered, "But he occasionally leaves a sliver of hope when he attacks the Shi Tang faction. He goes all out against us. Has your injury healed?"

"Not yet. The military's attack was far too ruthless, much more serious than the injuries Yunming sustained back then."

The Ghost Emperor pressed his sternum, his face filled with hatred. "I'll avenge this sooner or later, starting with Yun Ming! Blood Eye, where are the Shi Tang allied forces?"

Dark, blood-red eyes emerged from the shadows and respectfully said, "My lord, according to their daily schedule, they will arrive at the Douling Empire in three more days."

"Alright! Get the boys ready, let Shrek hear a sound!"

The Ghost Emperor snapped his fingers, intending to give Shrek a taste of the Tang Sect's weaponry.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The sea meets the sky, and the ceaseless waves crash against the shore, extending towards the buildings where people live.

A group of powerful individuals flew along the coastline. Although they were few in number, each of them possessed an extraordinary aura. Yun Ming flew in front, spear in hand, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

"Such a powerful evil aura, such a strong smell of blood, this is Heaven Dou City."

Zang Xin frowned and said a very awkward name. Back then, after the royal family of the Douling Empire led the natives to migrate to this continent, they did not forget their old home and the capital was still called Tiandou City, but it was just a mini version compared to the one in Douluo Continent.

Long Yeyue sneered, "Then what are we hesitating for? Let's storm into Heaven Dou City together and kill all those evil soul masters!"

"With so many experts like us, even the two heavily injured Netherworld Emperors would flee at the mere sight of us. How could they dare to oppose us?"

Zang Xin frowned and said, "Sister Yue, shouldn't we try to communicate with the royal family first? The Tang Clan branch has been destroyed, and we know nothing about this place."

"Okay, okay—"

Long Yeyue waved her hand impatiently and looked at the person behind her, "Yue'er, go and see if the little emperor is still alive."

"Yes." Cai Yue'er, her face veiled, spoke in a hoarse voice, exuding a sinister aura. With a flash of silver moonlight, she soared into the sky.

"Let's follow too." Yun Ming dared not let Cai Yue'er out of his sight for too long.

Flying into Tiandou City, the group went straight to the original site of the Tang Sect branch.

Vast swathes of land were torn up, revealing mutilated and gruesome corpses, their parts scattered everywhere.

On the ground, the dried bloodstains solidified into a line of elegantly written characters, causing everyone's expression to change:

Yunming, how does it feel to be condemned by all? Thank you for saving us. Our entire sect owes you a favor, which we will repay one day—Ghost Emperor.

"Damn it!" Zang Xin closed his eyes in anguish, while Zhao Song, Liang Xiaoyu, and other Tang Clan experts were filled with grief.

The Tang Clan experts landed swiftly, collecting the remains of their colleagues and preparing to build a cenotaph. Yun Ming looked grief-stricken; many of the Tang Clan disciples who died here were graduates of Shrek Academy.

Ya Li was sobbing uncontrollably, while Long Yeyue, panting heavily, shouted to the surroundings, "The Holy Spirit Sect, get out here! We from Shrek Academy are here!"

"OK!"

A voice far more powerful than Long Yeyue's came from beyond the sky. A gray curtain covered the sky, and a man wearing hideous armor and holding a cross sword walked through the air. Eight demonic gates opened around him, and resurrected death knights rushed out and surrounded him.

Who else could this be but Hades Douluo Harosa? His tattered armor indicated that he was injured, but his aura as an unparalleled demon king still made countless people hesitate to approach.

Long Yeyue's figure visibly froze for a moment.

"Harosa!" Yun Ming suddenly turned around, raised the Sky-Piercing Spear and shot out into the air, transforming into a blazing white light.

Harosa dared not be negligent. He unleashed his eighth soul skill, and the Ghost Emperor also walked out of the void, urging the newly formed World-Destroying Skeleton to crash into Yun Ming.

One gray and one purple, fighting side by side against Yunming, finally managed to suppress the incandescent light.

Yun Ming roared, "Ghost Emperor, you were once my defeated foe. Do you dare to duel me?!"

"You fight those old devils in the military first, and then I'll fight you one-on-one."

The Ghost Emperor retorted sarcastically, chuckling, "And your subordinates, we've been hunted relentlessly by the Federation, we'll let you taste the bitterness of it all today!"

Yun Ming's expression shifted, and he immediately noticed that soul-guided cannons were emerging from buildings all around him, each bearing the character "Tang".

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" ————

The Tang Clan's artillery fire was aimed at the Tang Clan ruins. The Ghost Emperor didn't care about the cost of people and goods. In the first round, he fired 64 level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, plus four level-nine ones!

"Damn it!" Yun Ming sighed helplessly and fired his gun at the barrage of shells. Zang Xin, Ya Li, and other experts also released their battle armor.

The two Netherworld Emperors entangled Yun Ming, and the Ghost Emperor burst into an unprecedentedly piercing laugh: "Don't be in such a hurry, Yun Ming, the bigger one is yet to come!"

"What exactly have you prepared!" Yun Ming roared in anger, his eyes instantly filled with fear as his spiritual power detected a massive surge of energy erupting from beneath the Tang Sect.

"Yali Zang Xin, watch out!"

Yun Ming flew back, and at that moment, an unprecedented shockwave erupted from the Tang Clan's underground, with the Tang Clan experts who were collecting the corpses bearing the brunt!

Without hesitation, Yun Ming rushed into the mushroom cloud at lightning speed. A figure brushed past him, accompanied by the Light and Dark Dragon Soul, without turning his head.

Harosa was taken aback: "A quasi-god, actually running away?"

The Ghost Emperor was also taken aback, but his cheerful laughter still pierced through the clouds.

"Hehehe, Yun Ming, how does it feel to have Tang Sect's fixed-position soul-guided cannons? I've planted a full sixteen level nine and two level ten ones, specially prepared for you!"

"Give them a good welcome, my men! I want to see how much fighting power the mighty Sky-Supporting Douluo will still have after today!"

"Yes, sir! Kill!!!"

The Holy Spirit followers responded in unison, and the second round of fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells was launched, this time representing the reserve of the Douling Empire's military strength.

It was still genuine Tang Clan goods, but the fireworks in the sky completely destroyed the Tang Clan ruins.
