Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 587 The Two Being Hunted

Tianhai City outskirts.

The night was as dark as ink, thickly spilled across the earth. The surroundings were so quiet that it was almost oppressive, with only the wind whistling past one's ears, as if telling of a hidden crisis.

Two figures clad in black robes, like ghosts in the night, hurried along the winding path, their robes fluttering in the wind, leaving blurry trails in the silent night.

"Yiran, hurry up, or we'll be in trouble if those guys catch up." Wu Siduo said to Zheng Yiran behind her as she walked quickly.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yiran's eyes flashed with anger, and she said, "Those people from the Temple of War are really going too far. They actually attacked us without even knowing the facts."

Wu Siduo pursed her lips, which were originally quite beautiful but now seemed a little dry. "It's just their duty, after all, I'm..." Her voice gradually lowered, like smoke being blown away by the night wind, carrying a hint of helplessness and loneliness.

Seeing Wu Siduo's somewhat dejected appearance, Zheng Yiran immediately realized she had said the wrong thing. "Alright, Wu Siduo, you didn't want to become like that. You're a victim too!"

Wu Siduo's eyes glazed over for a moment. A victim? Was she a victim? After all, she had actively accepted the other party's power, and without that power, she and Yi Ran might have already perished at sea.

Back in the ocean, when Wu Siduo was on the verge of death, the zombie virus inside her body completely broke out, and she eventually transformed into Oukser.

Using the power of the Orcs, they wiped out the group of demonic great white sharks and successfully escaped with Zheng Yiran.

Wu Siduo also knew something about Oukser. After all, they were all going out to explore the world, and Wu Changkong and the others would naturally impart important information about the outside world to these students. Among them was information about Oukser.

Wu Changkong even told them that Ye Xinglan had once transformed into Ouke and attacked Xu Lizhi.

Undoubtedly, from the outside perspective, Ouke is almost synonymous with evil spirit masters, and the Federation is cracking down on him with even greater intensity. After all, such beings who can grant ordinary people spirit power are simply too dangerous.

If an ordinary person suddenly possesses immense power but lacks the corresponding character and temperament, it could easily lead to social unrest and cause significant problems for the Federation's administration.

However, the only thing that made Wu Siduo feel fortunate was that although she transformed into Oukser, she did not lose her mind and attack Zheng Yiran.

Even the monstrous worm in her mind was willing to communicate with her and pointed her in the direction of Douluo Continent.

Otherwise, even if they could discern directions in the vast ocean, finding the location of Douluo Continent would take a tremendous amount of time. And during that time, other unforeseen events could easily occur.

They landed at a port in Tianhai City.

Unfortunately, their landing site was extremely close to the direction of the three major fleets, so after landing, they were surrounded by a squad from the Temple of War.

Chen Xinjie, the supreme commander of the three fleets, is the master of the Temple of War. As the largest violent institution in the Federation, how could Chen Xinjie not send people from the Temple of War to help at this critical moment when troops are about to be dispatched?

What's even more troublesome is that the group from the Temple of War happened to witness Wu Siduo's Oxer-like appearance, so it's easy to guess what happened next.

Fortunately, the members of that War God Temple team were not strong. The team leader was a six-ring Soul Emperor, and the others were five-ring Soul Kings.

So after spending some time, Wu Siduo and Zheng Yiran easily defeated them, but they were also targeted by the people of the Temple of War.

"Let's go. I heard that Nan Fusheng is now the governor of Tianhai City. Once we enter the city, we'll ask him for help." When Wu Siduo mentioned Nan Fusheng's name, a complex expression flashed across her face.

"Mm." Zheng Yiran nodded silently, her eyes revealing a hint of weariness and anticipation. She was tired of the long journey and hoped to find refuge with Nan Fusheng.

Both of them had simple makeup on their faces, which they did to avoid trouble.

"Wait." At this moment, Wu Siduo suddenly reached out to protect Zheng Yiran, looked around, and said sternly, "Who's lurking around there? Come out right now."

"Sneaky? I should be the one using that word."

A male voice rang out, and Duanmu Yan, dressed in clothing bearing the insignia of the Temple of War, emerged from the shadows of the path in front of Wu Siduo, blocking their way. His shadow was stretched long in the moonlight, like an insurmountable barrier.

"I only tried to stake out this spot because of my subordinate's report, but I didn't expect to actually find someone? No, I should say Oxer."

Looking at the makeup on Wu Siduo and Zheng Yiran's faces, Duanmu Yan sneered and said, "Come on, there's no need to hide your beastly nature. Demons don't need makeup; no matter how much makeup you put on, you're still a demon."

"You!" Upon hearing Duanmu Yan's merciless words, Zheng Yiran was immediately enraged and was about to step forward to argue with Duanmu Yan.

"Yiran, step back. This person is dangerous." Wu Siduo immediately reached out to stop Zheng Yiran, while looking at Duanmu Yan as if facing a formidable enemy. Her eyes were full of vigilance, as if she were facing a ferocious beast.

Her intuition told her that the person in front of her was no ordinary person, and the violent insects inside her were also issuing warnings, telling her that this person was dangerous.

"Prepare to die."

Duanmu Yan glanced at the two wary figures, and his martial spirit instantly manifested, with six black and two seven-colored spirit rings rising from beneath his feet. His eighth spirit ring should have been the immortal herb he had previously consumed: the Fiery Apricot Blossom.

However, during the fusion, his seventh spirit ring, which came from Huo Tian, ​​the patriarch of the Huo Li clan, suddenly appeared and devoured the spirit of Lie Huo Xing Jiao. Therefore, his eighth spirit ring was still produced by Huo Tian.

The eight spirit rings emitted a powerful light, illuminating the surrounding darkness and making Wu Siduo and Zheng Yiran's expressions even more solemn.

"Eight-Ring Contra!"

Wu Siduo and Zheng Yiran's pupils contracted, they exchanged a glance, and then seven spirit rings instantly lit up on their bodies as they activated their Martial Soul True Form.

"roar--"

A white tiger, seven meters long, and a 15-meter-long emerald green python suddenly appeared on the spot and roared at Duanmu Yan.

The enormous white tiger crouched down, its body swelling once more, becoming even more majestic. Of its seven spirit rings, four—rings one, three, five, and seven—were shining brightly.

"Sixth Soul Skill: White Tiger Annihilation Strike".

A giant "kill" character instantly formed in the mouth of the white tiger as it spat out a wave of light, and then shot towards Duanmu Yan with undiminished momentum.

"boom!"

A terrifying explosion rang out instantly, sending up billowing smoke. The smoke, like a giant mushroom cloud, slowly rose into the night sky, obscuring the moonlight and plunging everything into chaos.

"Yiran!" Wu Siduo suddenly shouted, and then the giant white tiger's body shrank instantly, and her martial soul switched instantly, with the Netherworld Cat possessing her!

Martial Soul True Form! A large black cat, about two meters away, suddenly appeared on the spot.

"understood."

Zheng Yiran responded loudly, and six spirit rings—one, two, three, four, five, and seven—lit up simultaneously on her body.

"First Soul Skill: Azure Scale Red Poison".

Second Soul Skill: Azure Poison.

Third Soul Skill: Azure Scales and Yellow Poison.

Fourth Soul Skill: Azure Scales and Green Poison.

Fifth Soul Skill: Azure Scales and Purple Poison.

A terrifying five-colored poisonous mist instantly erupted from the Jade Scale Serpent King's mouth, completely enveloping Duanmu Yan's position. The poisonous mist, resembling colorful smoke, appeared beautiful but contained deadly danger.

After doing all this, Zheng Yiran instantly exited her Martial Soul True Form state, then flipped over and mounted the black cat that Wu Siduo had transformed into.

After carrying Zheng Yi, the Netherworld Cat suddenly exerted force with its limbs and ran away into the distance like a phantom.

beat?

What a joke! Fighting the people from the Temple of War is a complete waste of time. Who knows if they've called for reinforcements?

Moreover, they weren't far from Tianhai City, and if they alerted the soldiers checking at the city gate, they'd be in big trouble. Therefore, from the very beginning, Wu Siduo and her companion had no intention of fighting Duanmu Yan.

Winning brings no benefit whatsoever, and may even result in injury.

Given Wu Siduo's status and the fact that the two of them were once Shrek Academy students, their fate after being captured wouldn't be much better.

So, of course, the only option was to run away.

Wu Siduo's attacks were used to obscure vision, while Zheng Yiran's poisonous mist was used to buy time.

Given Zheng Yiran's terrifying venom from the Azure Scale Serpent King, it's unlikely that the member of the War God Temple would stubbornly choose to force a breakthrough.

"boom!"

The poisonous mist was suddenly cleaved apart by a flaming blade of light, and then swept towards the Netherworld Cat with undiminished momentum.

Even though Wu Siduo was carrying Zheng Yiran, she was always aware of her surroundings. So, just as the blade was about to strike them, she nimbly flipped over and dodged it.

"This is troublesome!"

Watching the figure emerge from the poisonous fog, its body wreathed in seven-colored flames, Wu Siduo's heart sank.

"How could that be? That's the ultimate fire!"

Even more unbelievable than Wu Siduo was Zheng Yiran. At this moment, her gaze was fixed on Duanmu Yan. Seeing the other party's unharmed figure, she also felt immense pressure.

With her ultimate attribute countering most poisons, there's no doubt that her Jade Scale Serpent Venom is already mostly useless against Duanmu Yan.

Even if the poisonous mist just now wasn't the strongest poison she possessed, it probably wouldn't make much difference to Duanmu Yan; at most, it would just require more soul power to burn it.

"We have no intention of fighting you. Can you spare our lives?" Looking at Duanmu Yan, Wu Siduo rarely yielded.

There was no other way; before and after landing, she and Zheng Yiran had already gone through a series of battles. Even though there was food in their storage soul tools to replenish their strength, their mental state remained tense.

Simply put, they were exhausted, both physically and mentally. But after reaching the shore, they were constantly being hunted by the Temple of War, leaving them with very little time to rest.

"Even if you beg me, I won't let you go. Today is the end for both of you," Duanmu Yan said coldly, looking at the two people opposite her.

"Why? We haven't hurt a single person since we got ashore, so why do you insist on killing everyone?" Zheng Yiran said angrily, looking at Duanmu Yan across from her.

"Hmph!" Duanmu Yan sneered. "It's not that I haven't hurt anyone, it's just that I haven't had the chance to hurt anyone yet. As for you, I can sense that you're not an Oukser, so why are you speaking up for this evil Oukser?"

Zheng Yiran said coldly, "So what if it's Ouke? My partner didn't become like this voluntarily. And whether she's evil or not isn't for you to decide. What right do you have to judge her?"

"Just because she is an Oxher, I have the right to judge her. If I let her go today, she could cause trouble for many people tomorrow. So, to prevent that from happening, I will destroy her today."

With that, Duanmu Yan raised the Melting Scale Blade in her hand, pointing it directly at Zheng Yiran, "As for you, as a human, you've colluded with the Oukser. Today, I will execute you and this Oukser together."

"Prepare to die."

Duanmu Yan let out a low shout, took a step forward with his left foot, and swung the Melting Scale Blade forward, sending a flaming blade of light slashing towards Wu Siduo.

There are no tricks involved; brute force is the key!

With a single slash, without any imposing aura, the blade light felt like a shooting star to the two opponents, its terrifying pressure causing their very souls to tremble.

Without a doubt, if they were to be stabbed like that, they would both die a horrible death.

At the critical moment, Wu Siduo reacted quickly and activated her first soul skill, Netherworld Thrust, amplifying her speed and successfully dodging the blade at the last second.

Even so, the feeling of being slashed by a blade still sent chills down their spines; the members of the War God Temple on the other side were truly intent on killing them.

"Yiran, you go first."

Wu Siduo threw Zheng Yiran off her and stared intently at Duanmu Yan opposite her before speaking.

Seeing Wu Siduo's appearance, Zheng Yiran didn't say anything and turned to run away. She knew very well that with her poison attribute countered by the opponent, staying here would only add to Wu Siduo's burden.

"Wu Siduo, you must stay safe!"

Zheng Yiran's two-word battle armor unfolded its metal wings, carrying her body away into the distance.

"We can't let him go after Yiran; we have to keep him occupied."

The Netherworld Cat landed silently on all fours, its blue and green eyes fixed intently on Duanmu Yan, flashing with ferocity.

Its body crouched slightly, like a cheetah poised to pounce, ready to face the impending battle at any moment.

Meanwhile, Duanmu Yan is closing in on Wu Siduo step by step, and a life-or-death battle seems inevitable...
