Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 174 Warming Up

"The Flying Thunder God Technique is still the most useful, as it can catch the opponent off guard."

Chen Xuan yanked the spear back, but the momentum was too great, and the Wind Sword Sect disciple's neck was severed, rolling to the ground, his blood staining the soil.

With a thud, the headless corpse fell to the ground, soaking in a pool of blood.

He glanced at the rapidly approaching Feng Bailong, then stopped and used his space-time ability once more.

Having learned his lesson before, some people are not immune even when their hearts are pierced. This time, he's learned his lesson; he's determined to survive even after his head is chopped off.

When Feng Bailong arrived, only a golden flash remained, and Chen Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

Looking at the blood all over the ground and the headless corpse lying in the pool of blood, Feng Bailong's face was so gloomy that it could drip water, and his killing intent surged.

This was a prodigy nurtured by the sect, who should have had a glorious life, but today he died tragically in the Soul Beast Forest. How desolate!

"Boy, I don't care who you are, killing my clan's disciple, my Wind Sword Sect will never let you go!" Feng Bailong roared, his eyes bloodshot, as if they could spit fire.

When Chen Xuan reappeared at the exit of the Soul Beast Forest, he was already standing at the entrance.

He peeled away the soil to reveal a gleaming silver weapon, which was the Flying Thunder God Kunai he had buried beforehand.

"So slow, it's only flown a few miles." Chen Xuan closed his eyes and sensed the coordinates of the kunai. It was moving rapidly and had probably flown four or five thousand meters.

From the very beginning, he never intended to defeat those people; he would kill as many as he could. However, the people from the Wind Sword Sect and the Spirit Hall, seeing that his soul power was only level 51, underestimated him before they knew his methods and abilities, and were thus killed by him.

If these people acted cautiously and knew about the Flying Thunder God's abilities beforehand, Chen Xuan wouldn't have much confidence in getting close enough to use the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He began to form hand seals, but needed to delay the process a little longer.

"I have to make things difficult for you."

Chen Xuan gazed at the distant forest. As the last imprint fell, the humidity in the air rose again, and the water molecules stirred wildly.

In front of him, water droplets condensed and gradually formed a water ring, a circular water circle with a diameter of three meters.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

The water boiled, and a massive flood surged out from within the ring, endless and numerous, as if summoned from another dimension. The floodwaters instantly submerged the outlet.

The surging tide created huge waves, like an extreme mudslide, which submerged the Soul Beast Forest. Nearby old trees and rocks were all washed away, and even areas five or six hundred meters away were affected and completely submerged by the water.

"With this level of water escape technique, it should be able to trap you for at least a few minutes," Chen Xuan estimated.

Then, he channeled his lightning chakra, infusing the kunai with a layer of lightning, and hurled it into the sky, sending the weapon hurtling through the air.

The kunai with its electric arcs is particularly eye-catching, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, adding a touch of color to the dark night scene.

Chen Xuan used his space-time ability again, disappearing from his original spot and reappearing five or six hundred meters in the air.

He infused the kunai with an electric arc, increasing its speed several times over, and easily tossed it five or six hundred meters away.

Below the Soul Saint level, he wouldn't dare say he's number one in combat power, but in terms of speed alone, he's miles ahead of the Soul King. Even if a Soul Saint came, he could at most keep up with him.

Unfortunately, soul power has always been a weakness. At level 51, he is unable to fully master these techniques that require a massive amount of soul power.

Chen Xuan threw out the kunai again, shooting it towards the horizon. Then he closed his eyes, sensing the location of the moving spell.

"Eleven or twelve li away."

Having obtained the precise location, Chen Xuan no longer hesitated and teleported away.

Next, disregarding the consumption of his soul power, he continuously used space-time ninjutsu to travel at three times the speed of sound and quickly approach Xiao Wu's location.

at the same time

After receiving the message from Feng Bailong, the Spirit Hall continued to send people to capture the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit and Chen Xuan.

This time, more than ten powerful individuals were dispatched, led by a black-robed bishop whose strength had reached the level of a Soul Douluo.

Feng Bailong and the disciples of Fengjian Sect were the fastest to act. They were unaware that Chen Xuan was already on the kill list, but they were well aware of it and had received the latest information from His Majesty, including the activation conditions for Chen Xuan's strange ability and subtle ways to counter it.

"His Majesty said that the boy's spatial soul skill is extremely strange, appearing and disappearing without a trace. I'm afraid Sect Master Feng has already failed, so we no longer need to go to the Soul Beast Forest," the black-robed bishop said, facing his brothers.

These people are all elites of the Spirit Hall, and all of them have a spirit power above the Soul Emperor level.

"My lord, please look!"

A purple-robed bishop took out a map and pointed to several areas outside the Soul Beast Forest, all of which were necessary points to pass through on the way back to the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Your Excellency, why bother searching for their location? It's time-consuming and laborious, and we might even fall into their trap. Why don't we send people to ambush them in these five areas and wait for the rabbit to walk right into our trap?" suggested another Soul Emperor deacon.

In his view, rather than being led by the nose, it would be better to let the two escape and head south. When they were about to return to the Star Dou Great Forest, they would be at their most relaxed. Then, the Spirit Hall could launch a surprise attack and capture the boy and the rabbit in one fell swoop.

The black cardinal was an old man with white hair. He stroked his beard as he pondered and hesitated. After a moment, he nodded and agreed to the plan.

"Alright, you send someone to inform Lordiara and the brothers at the front to disperse their forces and ambush at these five locations."

In the end, the dozen or so people made up their minds, split into five groups, and set off from Wuhun City to various places to spread the information.

the other side

Late at night, the moonlight was dim and the stars had faded. After half an hour of travel and rest, Chen Xuan finally met up with Xiao Wu. Together they boarded the giant bird and soared into the sky.

Upon seeing this guy again, Xiao Wu was overjoyed, and her heart finally settled down. She had thought that this big jerk had been sacrificed so easily.

"Chen Xuan, you scared me to death! I thought you were never coming back." Her eyes were filled with emotion. This big bad guy wasn't just talking; he was really willing to risk his life for her. It wasn't child's play.

At that time, a group of powerful figures and Soul Douluos came chasing after her. None of them were less powerful than Chen Xuan. She was afraid, but this guy stayed behind to cover her retreat without hesitation, letting her leave first. He was fearless and really good.

The image of sacrificing oneself for righteousness still lingers in Xiao Wu's mind, unforgettable for her entire life. Her expression softened, no longer carrying the resentment she once did.

Previously, she really thought Chen Xuan would die in that forest, after all, the difference in soul power was so great. Along the way, she felt very sad, with guilt and disappointment. She questioned herself many times why she didn't treat this big jerk better and let him leave in peace.

The reality was that Chen Xuan hadn't died; he had come back to life unharmed. Xiao Wu was overjoyed and almost burst into tears. Her emotions were like a rollercoaster ride, going up and down.

That scene was still vivid in her mind. Her gratitude towards Chen Xuan had long surpassed her hatred, and her expression softened.

Xiao Wu was excited. The brief separation brought her the joy of reuniting with her lover, which made her involuntarily open her arms and instinctively want to hug Chen Xuan.

However, she quickly realized that their relationship wasn't as strained as before, but it hadn't reached that point either.

Xiao Wu's body stiffened, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she slowly withdrew her arm, deliberately creating some distance between herself and the outside world.

Hugging and holding hands are things that should only be done between couples.

"I'm glad you're alright. Welcome back," Xiao Wu said, her head bowed and her small hands behind her back.

After enduring six months of brutal beatings, Chen Xuan was no longer the corporate slave he once was, but if he couldn't even see the basics of filial piety, then he might as well give up on living.

Sometimes, feelings develop and are just one step away from being confessed. If no one is willing to take the initiative, it may never come to fruition.

Chen Xuan took a deep breath and decided to go all out.

He reached out and grabbed Xiaowu's slender hand, pulling her into his arms in a very direct and swift manner, without any hesitation.
