Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 49 Xu Zhao

With that low shout, a melodious and gentle sound came from the room, seemingly the sound of the wind, or perhaps the sound of a sweet-voiced girl softly weeping.

Upon hearing this voice, Wang Nan felt a surge of sorrow. But then, a golden light flickered in his mind, and a golden figure resembling a young lion appeared and disappeared above his mind. A warm feeling spread from his brow to his entire body.

When Wang Nan regained consciousness, he turned around and saw that even Zhang Lexuan had been affected. He had a bad feeling in his heart, and it must be the opponent's control-type soul master who made the move.

Turning around to look behind them, sure enough, apart from Han Ruoruo, who had a higher soul power, everyone else was moving a little slower.

Along with the sound, a tall man rushed out of the room, surrounded by four spirit rings of white, yellow, yellow, and purple. His back was green, and two long whiskers grew from his face, clearly indicating that he had activated the Martial Soul Possession state.

"Who are you people, daring to trespass on the territory of my Qishui Sect?"

The man shouted, but his expression changed constantly after seeing Zhang Lexuan and Wang Nan's spirit rings.

"These two are quite strong, and their spirit rings are optimally matched, so they must come from a major sect. However, the sect sent people to pick up the goods today, but didn't mention anyone else coming. Could it be that someone leaked the news, and another sect is deliberately causing trouble?"

"This matter is unlikely to be resolved peacefully. We can only rely on the upper sect to intervene and strive for a decisive victory."

The man slowed his pace and softened his tone as he thought of this.

"May I ask which sect or school you two come from, and what brings you to my Qishui Sect?" the man said, gesturing behind him. "If you have important matters to discuss, why don't you come in and have a seat, and we can talk in detail?"

Although Zhang Lexuan was affected by the other party's soul skill, she still had basic judgment. If a control-type soul master attacked before they even met, it was hardly a sign of wanting to have a detailed discussion. Wang Nan, naturally, wouldn't be fooled by his low-level rhetoric.

The man was still slowly approaching, seemingly inviting Wang Nan and his companion into the room for a detailed discussion.

Just as the man was less than two meters away from Wang Nan, a yellow soul ring suddenly lit up. The man placed his hands in front of him and quickly swung his fists out, like two small hammers, smashing towards Wang Nan.

His martial spirit is the Mantis Shrimp.

Although it is called a shrimp, it has green feathers like a peacock and hands like the forelimbs of a mantis, giving it extremely strong explosive power and attack power at close range.

As he activated his second spirit ring, his hands moved swiftly and continuously toward Wang Nan, like the claws of a mantis shrimp.

His control-type soul master's soul skill was still in effect, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity before Wang Nan and the other two could fully react to prioritize eliminating the weaker Wang Nan.

But he chose the wrong opponent.

Wang Nan not only broke free from his opponent's control, but was also prepared for battle from the very beginning.

The man struck several times, but each strike landed on a pitch-black stick. A giant golden dragon was slowly swimming on the stick, its eyes fixed on his direction.

Before Wang Nan could launch a counterattack, Ma Xiaotao had already arrived at the battlefield. A loud phoenix cry rang out from behind Wang Nan, followed by a burst of flames that rushed towards the man.

However, the flames did not harm the man.

A disc-shaped object flew out of the room, came to the man's side, and emitted a black light that completely engulfed Ma Xiaotao's flames.

Seeing this, the man also took the opportunity to run into the room.

"Where to go?"

Ma Xiaotao was an impatient person to begin with, and was further disturbed by the other party's soul skill. Seeing that the man was about to run away, her third soul ring flashed, and a pair of fiery red wings unfolded behind her. She was about to follow him into the room.

"Don't go, it's dangerous!"

Wang Nan reached out and grabbed Ma Xiaotao, but even faster than Wang Nan was a golden rope. The rope flew through the air and wrapped around Ma Xiaotao's waist, forcefully pulling her back.

"Xiao Tao, where are you going?" Han Ruoruo had already caught up and asked with an unfriendly expression.

"That person just tried to lure me and Senior Sister Zhang into the room; there must be an ambush inside," Wang Nan said, and then his third spirit ring flashed.

As one end of the dragon-coiled staff slammed into the ground, a dragon's roar seemed to echo from the earth. The surrounding land shook as if an earthquake had struck, and huge cracks spread toward the houses. The houses began to shake violently, dust fell from the roofs, and the pillars supporting the houses creaked and groaned.

Wang Nan didn't actually use his full strength. His target was the missing children, who were very likely inside the house; how could he possibly let the house collapse?

But the soul masters inside the house didn't know that Wang Nan was trying to collapse the house and force them out, so they had to run away in advance to avoid being hit by the collapsing roof.

As the door opened, a total of eleven people rushed out of the three rooms.

One of them was also a Soul Emperor, but he only had a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. There were three Soul Masters; apart from the man from before, the other two were standing next to the Soul Emperor.

The remaining people were just some Soul Masters at the first or second ring level; there wasn't even a single Soul Venerable.

Zhang Lexuan had witnessed all the changes that had just occurred. As she watched Wang Nan's figure, several thoughts flashed through her mind.

"Ye Xiaosheng, use the soul tool!" In the midst of battle, Zhang Lexuan suppressed her thoughts and shouted to those behind her.

Ye Xiaosheng responded immediately, hoisting two soul-guided cannons onto his shoulders. As soul power gathered at the muzzles, two beams of white light shot towards the opponent.

A tremendous roar, accompanied by a bright flash, exploded in the enemy's crowd. Zhang Lexuan took the opportunity to call Xixi to her side.

"Take this opportunity to find those children. Be careful once you're inside, and get out immediately once you've confirmed their identities."

Xixi nodded, and in the dazzling white light, she transformed into an inconspicuous bolt of lightning and entered the room.

When the white light dissipated, the lower-level Soul Masters were all in tears, covering their eyes and ears and kneeling on the ground in agony. Only the Soul Emperor and the three Soul Masters beside him were unaffected.

Although the Soul Emperor was not affected by the Soul Guidance Device, his expression turned ugly.

They initially thought it was just a Soul Emperor and a Soul Master causing trouble, and that they could put up a fight with their numbers. However, Wang Nan's side had nine people, all of whom were at least at the third ring level. They used powerful soul tools right away, and they had almost no chance of winning.

"Please show mercy, everyone. I am Xu Zhao, a deacon of the Xuanming Sect. Is there perhaps some misunderstanding?"

"The Xuanming Sect? Not evil spirit masters?"

Zhang Lexuan frowned.
