Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Dragon Pattern Staff, Inherited from the Azure Dragon of the East

Chapter 197 Three-on-one battle against the Void Raiders!

No trace of any spirit beasts was seen in the vicinity.

However, that sense of crisis is getting closer and closer.

"Something's not right. This aura is getting closer and closer, but why can't I see any soul beasts?" Ghost was puzzled. He was a Title Douluo of the Dark Element and was most sensitive to darkness. His face showed a solemn expression.

"No! It's here!"

"Watch out! It can disappear!"

Suddenly, the ghost seemed to remember something and quickly called out.

Just as everyone was about to make a move.

"what!"

puff!

The next second, a scream rang out, and at the same time, the sound of a human body being torn apart was heard.

Turning his head, he saw that the scout who had led the way had been torn in two, his internal organs, intestines, and blood gushing out of his body. The scene was truly disgusting.

This is an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

The fact that it could instantly kill a Soul Douluo shows that the incoming Soul Beast was extremely powerful.

"There it is!"

A cold glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Nine spirit rings appeared: yellow, purple, black, black, black, and red.

Possessed by the Death Spider King, a sharp phantom of a spider spear shot towards the side of Contra.

Bang!

A flash of light appeared in the air.

The next second, the spider spear pierced through the air.

"Not here?"

"No, it hit! Otherwise, how do you explain the sparks?"

Bibi Dong was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, the Void Raiders appeared from the darkness.

Its sharp hand was actually a large scythe, gleaming coldly in the moonlight. Behind it, wings flapped, and its body took flight, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"A praying mantis?"

"This mantis is strange; I've never seen it before. It must be a mutant."

Bibi Dong frowned.

This praying mantis, its body like solidified darkness, formless and eternal.

Its eyes were as deep as the Milky Way, as if they could devour all light and hope.

A gleam of wisdom shone in their dark eyes; they were unfathomable, like an endless void. Gazing into them felt as if one could draw one's soul into an unknown realm.

Its massive size makes it stand like a solitary peak in a misty, ethereal place.

Each of its wing membranes is like a folded shadow, which, when unfolded, can block out the sunlight and cause the wind and clouds to change color.

When it flaps its wings, the space itself ripples subtly due to its immense power.

The mantis's body is etched with the marks of time, and each of its carapaces carries a heavy sense of history, seemingly recording countless ancient legends.

Its long, slender, and powerful tentacles gently caress the void, like the fingertips of an explorer, sensing the breath of the universe.

Those who don't know it might think it has really lived for 100,000 years.

A powerful aura emanated from the mantis; its very presence was oppressive, making the surrounding space feel distorted and heavy.

Even creatures thousands of miles away could feel that heart-pounding power.

"What the hell is this mantis?" Platinum Bishop Salas gasped.

His gaze fell upon the brutal corpse of the Contra, who had been instantly killed and cut in half, lying on the ground. A chill ran down his spine, and a look of fear crossed his face.

It seemed that once this 100,000-year-old mantis soul beast set its sights on him, he was doomed.

He silently retreated behind Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, seeking protection.

"This aura doesn't seem like that of a soul beast that has just entered the 100,000-year stage, and it's rather strange, though I can't quite put my finger on why."

"The Star Dou Great Forest is indeed rich in resources. Besides the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, the Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape, there's even this fifth one. It seems it was hidden before, but why did it appear at this time?"

"Elder Ju, Elder Gui, go up and confront it, but be careful."

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly. Even she could sense that the mantis in front of her was extraordinary, definitely surpassing the two 100,000-year-old rabbits she had encountered before.

So he decided to play it safe, and the more he looked at the praying mantis, the stronger that bad feeling became.

I don't know why, but I always feel like everything is going too smoothly.

It seems as if a powerful force is deliberately orchestrating all of this behind the scenes.

Looking around, he didn't find anyone else.

"Yes, ma'am."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei nodded, and nine spirit rings—yellow, purple, and black—rose beneath them. This was a 100,000-year-old spirit beast; they dared not be careless, or they would be the ones losing their lives. "Seventh Spirit Skill: Martial Spirit True Body!"

The two decisively used this skill and attacked the mantis with all their might.

"Ninth Soul Skill: Chrysanthemums Wither, Wounds Cover the Ground, Fallen Flowers Break the Heart!"

A giant golden chrysanthemum bloomed, its golden light illuminating the night. Its petals fell and transformed into countless sharp knives, shooting towards the Void Raiders like a rain of pear blossoms.

"The ninth soul skill: Demonic Demon!"

The ghostly martial spirit was himself, and he used a control-type soul skill on the Void Raider.

Black energy surged, and from the ground emerged thick, black skeletal hands that formed prisons, restraining the Void Raiders.

The Void Raider spewed out streams of energy from its mouth, striking the skeleton prison and the incoming blades.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

An explosion rang out, and smoke billowed into the sky.

The powerful force pushed Yue Guan and Gui Mei Chong back to Bibi Dong's side.

"Watch out, it's not dead!"

Bibi Dong sensed this and quickly gave a reminder.

Immediately afterwards, he rushed out, wielding the papal jeweled scepter in his hand.

The Void Raider emerged from the smoke.

He cleaved the jeweled scepter with a single blow.

Bang!

The jeweled scepter, unable to withstand the weight, was shattered.

Bibi Dong's pupils contracted.

She knew that this gem scepter was of very high quality and was a rare soul tool.

Now it's been cleaved to pieces by this mantis with a single blow?

The other party's knife was indeed very sharp; if it had hit me, it would have been terrible.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body"

She transformed into an ugly spider and blasted the Void Raider away.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately rushed to help.

The Platinum Bishop Salas, however, was hiding behind a large rock, watching with trembling eyes.

This is a battle between Title Douluos. If he, a mere Soul Douluo, went in, he would be instantly killed just the same.

"An ugly spider."

On the mountain peak, Li Fei stood overlooking the fierce battle below, his gaze fixed on Bibi Dong, who had transformed into the Death Spider Queen.

The three titled Douluo barely managed to fight the Void Raider to a draw.

However, it seems that Bibi Dong wasn't going all out; she was still holding back.

When the crisis erupts slightly, it becomes a 60/40 split.

The Void Raiders are slightly inferior.

"Is this Xiao Wu's mother's spirit ring?"

Looking at Bibi Dong's red 100,000-year soul ring, Li Fei narrowed his eyes and revealed an evil smile.

"Go ahead and fight."

"Consume one wave first."

"Enjoy the show."

Li Fei did not intend to participate directly, but chose to watch the show.

When the Voidreaver is truly incapacitated, it will appear at the most crucial moment to rescue the opponent.

This is also his favorite move.

As time goes by.

At this moment, in the midst of the battle, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were being beaten into a sorry state.

"Use the Soul Fusion Technique directly; we can't delay any longer," Bibi Dong said.

"Yes."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei stood back to back, pressed together.

"Soul Fusion Skill: Polar Stillness Domain!"

The energy spread, freezing the Void Raider in place and slowing its body.

"Go to hell!"

Bibi Dong seized the opportunity and used the Eternal Wound to strike the Void Raider.
