Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 376 The Black-Robed Imperial Advisor declared victory was assured!

"Next!"

After easily eliminating an evil soul saint, Qian Lingyi's condition not only did not decrease but increased, and her aura reached its peak. Therefore, she was now full of fighting spirit, her expression was indifferent but her eyes were burning as she stared at the Holy Spirit Sect team's rest area, like a hunter sizing up his prey.

Hearing Qian Lingyi's provocative words, the Holy Spirit Sect contestants naturally could not tolerate it. Therefore, one of their remaining five contestants jumped onto the stage without hesitation.

"Holy Spirit Sect, Lu Genggeng!" This man named Lu Genggeng glared at Qian Lingyi with resentment, first stating his name, then uttering a harsh threat, "You will be punished by the Holy Emperor for harming his followers! Roar!"

The Holy Emperor is a deity worshipped by the Holy Spirit Sect, whose specific origins are unknown. Qian Lingyi did not take Lu Genggeng's threat seriously; in her view, it was nothing more than Lu Genggeng's dying words.

Lu Genggeng also released his martial soul and soul rings. His martial soul was the Abomination, a very typical undead creature with great power and a strong body. It was one of the more powerful undead creatures. Lu Genggeng's strength was Soul Emperor. Six soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and two black, flashed behind his larger, stronger, and greener body.

"So ugly!" Qian Lingyi couldn't help but complain as she looked at Lu Genggeng's appearance after he was possessed by his martial spirit.

Her criticism was spot on. After being possessed by a martial soul, Lu Genggeng's appearance was indeed quite ugly. Abominations are inherently extremely ugly undead creatures, and even if they were transformed into martial souls, they could not possibly become more attractive.

At this moment, Lu Genggeng had transformed into a round, fleshy ball over five meters tall, surrounded by dark green mist. His eyes glowed with blood-red light, appearing particularly eerie through the green mist. His black spirit ring lit up, and his body was suddenly covered in a layer of blood-red. Then, Lu Genggeng's body visibly became heavier, and he rolled and crashed towards Qian Lingyi, leaving countless cracks in his wake!

"Well done!" Qian Lingyi shouted softly, then grasped the Sun Holy Sword with both hands and placed it in front of her body. The second soul ring behind her shone brightly, and the holy sword in her hands was immediately covered with a layer of golden radiance. At the same time, a six-pointed star array appeared under her feet, as if it was continuously supplying power to her.

Lu Genggeng closed in on Qian Lingyi, the two of them less than five meters apart. Qian Lingyi took a step forward and slashed out with the Sun Holy Sword, which was filled with divine power, and landed precisely on Lu Genggeng's body.

The sword and Lu Genggeng's protective soul power clashed briefly before Lu Genggeng's soul power melted away instantly, like snow meeting the rising sun. The holy sword, filled with divine power, cleaved deeply into the body of the abomination.

"Ah—" Lu Genggeng's movements came to an abrupt halt. His scream, extremely piercing, echoed throughout the venue. Everyone saw that golden light burst forth from the body of this ugly, enormous, and evil creature. The beautiful angel sheathed her longsword and suddenly retreated dozens of meters away. Then, she flew into the air, her six angel wings unfurled, and golden light cascaded from her wings, falling upon the evil creature.

With a loud "Bang!", only Qian Lingyi remained on the stage. Lu Genggeng had long since vanished, with only the golden rain of light proving that he had once existed.

Cheers erupted from the audience, celebrating the holy angel's renewed dispel of evil. The Holy Spirit Cult members in the waiting area, however, looked extremely grim. Lu Genggeng's death was far more chilling than the previous two. This wicked angel had actually channeled the power of light into Lu Genggeng's body, then used divine power on him from the outside. The connection between light and divinity caused Lu Genggeng to explode and die instantly—it was utterly vicious!

"I'll take the next round!" One of the two girls who appeared for the first time said, with four contestants remaining in the Holy Spirit Sect. Her face was extremely gloomy and her eyes radiated a chilling ruthlessness.

"No way!" Zhang Peng decisively refused her, saying, "Yan Feng will be on stage next!"

"Yes!" Yan Feng, a disciple of the Holy Spirit Sect, immediately agreed, saying, "I will definitely tear that bastard to pieces!"

Yan Feng jumped onto the arena, and the woman immediately looked at Zhang Peng, questioning him with dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you let me go up? You knew perfectly well that Yan Feng going up there would just be suicide!"

"This is a tactic!" Zhang Peng said. "The leader's order is to ensure the annihilation of that angelic martial soul possessor. To achieve this goal, sacrifice is necessary. Only by depleting her soul power first will you have a better chance of killing her!"

"Bullshit!" the woman said angrily. "My sister and I can even kill a Title Douluo together. How could a mere Soul Saint need help from others?"

"Ha!" Zhang Peng sneered, "This is an individual elimination tournament, it's all about one-on-one. You and your sister know better than I what your skill level is in a one-on-one fight!"

"This..." The woman fell silent instantly.

However, in the brief moment of their argument, the match on the arena had already ended. Yan Feng, also a Soul Emperor with a Skeleton Martial Soul, was no different from the woman saying that facing the increasingly powerful Qian Lingyi was tantamount to suicide. Qian Lingyi directly executed the Holy Spirit Sect disciple with a single Holy Spirit Slash.

"Hehe, very good!" The black-robed national advisor on the platform laughed in anger when he saw that another of his disciples had died. If he hadn't been very confident in the strength of the Wu Yun and Wu Yu sisters, he would have been unable to sit still at this moment.

"Now it's our turn, sisters, to take the stage, isn't it?" the woman said through gritted teeth. She was Wu Yun, the elder of the Wu Yun and Wu Yu sisters.

"It's not time yet!" Zhang Peng shook his head, then said to the last male disciple of the Holy Spirit Sect in the waiting area, "Gu Yu, you go!"

"...Alright!" Gu Yu, the contestant, had overheard Zhang Peng and Wu Yun's conversation. He knew perfectly well that going on stage with his current strength would be suicide, but he dared not disobey Zhang Peng's orders. So, he looked at Wu Yun and Wu Yu and said, "Two Holy Maidens, avenge me!"

Gu Yu stepped onto the arena with a look of fearlessness, which deeply moved the Wu sisters, Wu Yun and Wu Yu, and their hatred for Qian Lingyi reached its peak. Zhang Peng, who saw this scene, couldn't help but sneer, thinking to himself, "So many disciples were not sacrificed in vain after all!"

The martial souls of the Wu sisters, Wu Yun and Wu Yu, are called the Soul of Vengeance. This is a very unique and powerful evil martial soul, awakened from extreme hatred. The higher their hatred for a person, the greater their combat power will be when facing that person. This is why Zhang Peng, knowing that Yan Feng and the others were no match for Qian Lingyi, still let them fight.

They were cultivating Wu Yun and Wu Yu's hatred towards Qian Lingyi, and it seems to be working very well. Wu Yun and Wu Yu's hatred has reached its peak, and coupled with their own cultivation levels and strength, eliminating a Soul Saint-level angel is more than enough for them!

On the arena, Qian Lingyi's sword struck down, piercing Gu Yu's heart. The holy power of light immediately spread from Gu Yu's heart to his limbs and bones, igniting the sins within him. Under the scorching heat of the holy fire, Gu Yu let out a miserable wail, a wail that truly broke the hearts of all who heard it and brought tears to their eyes.

But Qian Lingyi remained unmoved. As an angel, one must not only have a compassionate heart, but also a ruthless one. Only in this way can one completely eradicate the evil spirit master.

Gu Yu was burned to dust by the sacred fire and dissipated into the air. This was the fifth evil soul master that Qian Lingyi had killed. The audience immediately cheered enthusiastically. This time, there were more cheerers than silent ones. No matter when or where, people always hope to see justice triumph over evil.

"Wu Yun and Wu Yu!" The black-robed Grand Preceptor, seeing the cheers of the audience, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He murmured, and the two sisters, Wu Yun and Wu Yu, in the Holy Spirit Slash waiting area immediately froze, their faces simultaneously revealing evil smiles.

"Finally, it's our turn!" The two sisters' voices were perfectly synchronized. As their voices trembled, their figures also swayed. The two figures seemed to merge into one, yet they also seemed to remain one, making one doubt one's own eyes.

On the arena, Qian Lingyi stood at the edge, closing her eyes to regulate her breathing. She had killed five evil soul masters in a row, including one Soul Saint and four Soul Emperors, which had taken a toll on her. Fortunately, she received a gift of light for each evil soul master she eliminated, which replenished her soul power and improved her realm.

She had a premonition that if she eliminated three more Soul Emperor-level evil Soul Masters, her Soul Power would be able to reach level 79.

As she was thinking, she sensed a new opponent stepping onto the stage. She subconsciously opened her eyes and saw a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old standing opposite her. The girl had a sickly smile on her face, and her body was surrounded by sins that were about to materialize.

Qian Lingyi couldn't help but frown. She could sense that this girl's strength was extraordinary, far surpassing that of the previous five evil soul masters. In this match, she had to be extremely cautious!

"Holy Spirit Sect, Wu Yun!"
