Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 139 Annihilation Mission! (3.4k)

Poseidon Island, in a wooden house.

"Sister Tao, how are you feeling?"

On the boudoir bed, Zhu Ziyang and Ma Xiaotao sat facing each other, their palms pressed together and fingers interlocked. Ma Xiaotao's pretty face was flushed with a sickly pallor, her lips pursed, her expression a mixture of pain and pleasure. Zhu Ziyang, on the other hand, had a solemn expression as he continuously circulated his extremely cold soul power, channeling it into Ma Xiaotao's body through his palms.

"Much better!" Ma Xiaotao's voice carried a hint of coquettishness, but was mostly weak, as she answered Zhu Ziyang's question.

"That's good." Zhu Ziyang's eyes showed helplessness. After opening his eyes, he glanced to the other side awkwardly and said. He finished his cultivation, silently withdrew his palm, and stepped off Ma Xiaotao's embroidered bed.

Every time Zhu Ziyang came to help Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire, it was a huge test for him. Because Ma Xiaotao always dressed very scantily, her alluring figure would inadvertently be exposed to his eyes, which greatly tested Zhu Ziyang's willpower and composure.

"Sister Xiaotao, you shouldn't cultivate for the next few days. Take a break first," Zhu Ziyang said, standing up with his back to Ma Xiaotao. "I'm going back now."

"Hmm!" Ma Xiaotao murmured softly, somewhat absentmindedly. Her expression was languid as she slowly lay down, her graceful figure resting against the pillow. Her beautiful hair, like flames, cascaded over her fragrant shoulders. Her jade-like legs were crossed in a staggered manner. One hand supported her head, while the other rested on her thigh. Her eyes, slightly dazed, gazed at Zhu Ziyang's back. Her chest heaved slightly, as if she were lost in thought.

"Phew~" After walking out of Ma Xiaotao's room, Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. If possible, he really didn't want to continue like this with Ma Xiaotao, because he could feel that Ma Xiaotao's feelings for him were becoming more and more intense. At first, she still maintained the reserve of a senior, but now, she was beginning to offer a subtle temptation.

We really need to deal with Ma Xiaotao's lustful desires as soon as possible, otherwise, Zhu Ziyang is genuinely afraid he won't be able to resist the temptation.

As her strength increased, Ma Xiaotao's evil fire became increasingly difficult to control. Even without actively cultivating, her evil fire would slowly accumulate, which meant that Zhu Ziyang now needed to clear the evil fire from her body every ten days to half a month to ensure that she would not lose control.

In the third month after Jiang Nannan entered the Inner Academy, she began her first patrol mission. Naturally, she was accompanied by Zhu Ziyang and Dai Yueheng. This operation was also the first practical cooperation exercise for the current cohort of team members. The teachers in charge of leading the team were Elder Song and Cai Meier.

Their destination was the Heavenly Soul Empire, and their goal was to wipe out a group of evil soul masters wreaking havoc in a remote town of the empire. According to Shrek Academy's intelligence, this evil soul master group consisted of ten people, led by a Soul Douluo, and his subordinates were a group of fallen soul masters at the Soul Sect and Soul King levels. Zhu Ziyang and his companions' target was this group of Soul Sect and Soul King level soul masters. As for the Soul Douluo, Cai Meier would naturally handle him.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Led by Elder Song and Cai Meier, the group went straight to the lair of the evil soul master team and trapped them in a valley, catching them like turtles in a jar.

"These beasts!" Looking at the skeletons scattered throughout the valley, everyone gritted their teeth in hatred! With such a large number of skeletons, it was hard to imagine how many people these evil spirit masters had killed, and how many innocent lives had been lost at their hands.

"Yueheng, Ziyang, your target is that group of corrupt Soul Masters who aid and abet evil. Don't worry about that Soul Douluo," Cai Meier said to Dai Yueheng and Zhu Ziyang, her eyes filled with anger but her composure maintained.

"Yes!" Dai Yueheng and Zhu Ziyang, along with the other five, nodded in agreement.

Shrek's group was quickly discovered by the evil spirit masters in the valley, and the two groups met in a relatively open mountain path.

Zhu Ziyang finally saw the face of the evil spirit master who had wreaked havoc across thousands of miles. How to put it? The evil spirit master was completely different from everyone's expectations. He did not have the madness and ferocity of a normal evil spirit master. Instead, he was dressed in fine clothes and was very refined. If it weren't for the skeleton he was holding in his arms, dressed in a wedding dress, he would definitely be mistaken for a gentleman of noble birth.

However, precisely because of this, their expressions grew increasingly solemn. Even Cai Meier quietly abandoned her slight contempt, because she was very surprised to discover that the evil soul master whose cultivation level was Soul Douluo in the intelligence was actually a Title Douluo! Her expression couldn't help but turn somewhat ugly, and she felt that it would be necessary to deal with these people who provided the intelligence when she returned.

"So you're from Shrek Academy? Are you here to attend my promotion to Title Douluo? You're very welcome!" The evil soul master was very polite, his every move like that of a nobleman, and he spoke with a refined smile on his pale face.

"Wei Changgong, stop pretending. You know our purpose," Cai Meier said coldly, her expression unchanged.

Wei Changgong—that was the name of the evil soul master before them. Intelligence indicated he was only forty years old. Originally just an ordinary small merchant in the Heavenly Soul Empire, on his wedding day at the age of twenty-five, his wife was raped and murdered by a nobleman's son, and his entire family was slaughtered. This sudden tragedy turned his joy into utter despair, driving Wei Changgong insane, and he disappeared without a trace.

When he reappeared, it was five years later, at the wedding banquet of that nobleman's son. At that time, Wei Changgong had actually transformed from an ordinary person with no soul power into a Soul Saint. He had become an evil soul master! Wei Changgong used the same methods against him, not only humiliating the bride to death, but also slaughtering three hundred members of the nobleman's family, shocking the eastern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

After avenging his great grudge, Wei Changgong did not stop killing. He began to wreak havoc in the major towns in the eastern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, successively slaughtering the nobles and nearly a million civilians in several towns. In the end, he incurred the wrath of the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family and was pursued by a Title Douluo and two Soul Douluos. He was eventually seriously injured and fled, disappearing from sight once again.

It wasn't until the last year that he reappeared in a remote town of the Heavenly Soul Empire, continuing his slaughter.

"Hehehe~ Since you're not here to offer congratulations, then die!" Wei Changgong let out a strange laugh, and then, revealing his true intentions, he attacked instantly. Nine spirit rings lit up behind him, all of them black. The white skeleton in his arms immediately grew a layer of flesh, transforming into a sinister and ghostly zombie. That skeleton was Wei Changgong's martial soul, and also his wife!

Without hesitation, Cai Meier drew a spear wreathed in dragon spirits, nine spirit rings rising behind her in perfect proportion. Holding the spear, she thrust it towards the zombie bride.

Zhu Ziyang, Dai Yueheng, and the other six Shrek Academy students did not hesitate and revealed their martial souls to meet Wei Changgong's subordinates, the group of fallen soul masters.

The term "fallen soul master" refers to a soul master who willingly degenerates, covets the cultivation speed and soul rings of evil soul masters, and voluntarily becomes their subordinate. Their martial souls and abilities may be normal, but their hearts have long been corrupted, and their hands are stained with the blood of countless mortals, making them unforgivable.

A streak of blue light flashed across the sky; it was Old Song, who had been following behind. Without hesitation, she immediately took action, joining forces with Cai Meier to deal with Wei Changgong—a righteous two against one.

Zhu Ziyang faced off against a Blood-Eyed Wolf Soul Sect member and a Copper Hammer Soul Sect member. Fighting two opponents simultaneously, he held his own, wielding the World-Pacifying Life-Saving Scythe, radiating an aura of supreme power—the nemesis of these ghostly monsters. Moreover, he had the support of a support-type Soul King behind him.

Gongyang Mo's martial soul is the Rainbow Dragon, a dragon martial soul known as the Dragon King's Companion. It is a rare support-type true dragon, possessing powerful support abilities comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a weapon-type martial soul. Gongyang Mo, with the strength of a Soul King, directly unleashed all his amplified soul skills on his companions. This was a battlefield where life and death were irrelevant; he couldn't afford to hold back.

Beside him was Ling Luochen, a control-type Soul Master, who was also giving her all to help Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng on the main battlefield. These two inner court disciples were directly fighting five opponents head-on, taking on two Soul Kings and three Soul Grandmasters. Jiang Nannan was also fighting a Soul Grandmaster, using her speed advantage to outmaneuver the Fallen Soul Master whose strength was close to that of a Soul King, while also holding back a Soul Venerable who wanted to launch a surprise attack on Gongyang Mo and Ling Luochen.

In this way, the six of them directly blocked the other nine, holding their own and even gaining a slight advantage.

"Thump!"

The Life-Saving Scythe struck the bronze hammer, which immediately emitted a mournful cry. The Bronze Hammer Soul Master's face showed fear, and he retreated more than ten steps before stopping. He and the Blood-Eyed Wolf Soul Master exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with fear and panic. The extreme light of the Life-Saving Scythe was too terrifying for them, and neither of them wanted to launch the first attack, so they passed the buck to each other.

However, Zhu Ziyang would not give them a chance to breathe. His second and third spirit rings lit up at the same time, releasing an extremely bright and dazzling radiance in an instant. Zhu Ziyang, carrying the light of judgment and punishment, rushed forward quickly. The World-Soothing Scythe in his hand drew a semi-circle from behind and was raised into the air. With an irresistible force, it slashed down at the two fallen spirit masters.

"Ah!" In the critical moment, the Blood-Eyed Wolf Soul Sect actually forced the Copper Hammer Soul Sect to retreat, while they themselves retreated. The Copper Hammer Soul Sect's eyes were bloodshot with rage, but apart from fear, there was nothing left in his eyes.

The scythe, imbued with the intent of judgment, cleaved the Copper Hammer Soul Sect in two. Under the illumination of the light, the Martial Soul was cleansed of its sins, turning into wisps of smoke and dissipating.

The Blood-Eyed Wolf Soul Sect member naturally couldn't escape Zhu Ziyang's judgment either. His first soul ring lit up, and he gently swung the World-Saving Scythe. After a flash of light, a fine head flew off.

After dealing with the two Soul Masters, Zhu Ziyang turned to look at his companions. With Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng working together, only two Soul Kings remained of the five Fallen Soul Masters, struggling to hold on. Meanwhile, Jiang Nannan had prioritized eliminating the Soul Venerable and was now suppressing the remaining Soul Master. The battle situation was already quite clear.

In mid-air, the combined attack of the two Super Douluo, Elder Song and Cai Meier, was simply too much for Wei Changgong, a newly promoted Title Douluo evil soul master, to withstand. He was forced to retreat steadily and kept looking for an opportunity to escape.

But how could Old Master Song and Cai Meier let him escape? Old Master Song waved his hands, and several beams of azure light shot towards Wei Changgong like a volley of arrows. Wei Changgong couldn't dodge in time, and one of his arms was pierced by the azure light. He panicked and tried to escape, but the zombie bride immediately rushed towards him, only to have her back completely exposed to Cai Meier's eyes.

A golden light flashed in Cai Meier's eyes, and without hesitation, she thrust out the Evil-Slaying Dragon Soul Spear, piercing directly through the Zombie Bride's body and into Wei Changgong's heart! Wei Changgong stared in disbelief at the spear that had pierced his heart, his eyes filled with resentment and relief, gradually losing their luster.

Wei Changgong, dead!

With Wei Changgong's execution, the Shrek Academy's main team successfully completed their mission of eliminating the enemy without any accidents or casualties.

This is the efficiency and strength that Shrek Academy should have.
