Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 204 They are the light, condemning heresy!

Ma Rulong nodded slowly: "Indeed, I also have a soul tool that I'd like you to appraise!"

Ye Qing put his hands in his pockets and raised his chin, indicating, "Let me see."

Seeing that Ye Qing seemed to agree, Ma Rulong didn't hesitate. He directly pulled out the nearly two-meter-long Sword of Judgment from his waist-shaped storage soul tool, and then took out the Chapter of Sacrifice and put it on his back.

"I have a sword that can shatter your invincible myth!" Ma Rulong said loudly, holding a giant sword with great pride.

Ye Qing, however, simply stared at the giant sword with a strange expression in his eyes, tinged with a hint of fondness.

Good stuff, Korean!

From now on, this sword of judgment will belong to the Ye family!

The giant sword is octagonal in shape, with black and white on the left and right sides respectively. The blade is as wide as two palms. The black and white blade surface is not monotonous, but is engraved with very conspicuous black and white core magic array patterns.

Although the sword guard is a simple cross shape, it has a high degree of technological feel because its surface is also engraved with a large number of core magic array patterns.

The hilt features a black and white spiral anti-slip texture.

Although the sword is basically only black and white with no other colors, it does not look monotonous or ordinary at all. At least according to Ye Qing's aesthetic sense, this sword is really cool!

And who am I?

The owner of the Yin-Yang Soul Core!

Is there any master more suitable for this sword of judgment, which combines light and darkness?

Seeing Ye Qing staring intently at the Sword of Judgment, Ma Rulong, displaying the proper martial ethics, introduced it: "This sword is called Judgment, an eighth-level close-range soul tool, and one of our hall master's masterpieces!"

"Do you dare to test its edge?"

Ye Qing withdrew his gaze, and in a flash, he figured out how to get his hands on the Sword of Judgment. He definitely wouldn't take it by force; he wanted Ma Rulong to willingly hand over the sword.

"Giving it a try is fine, but why should I try? A level eight close-range soul tool seems to be the highest level among close-range soul tools, right?"

Due to the lack of forging methods, soul tools in this era could only be formed by melting and solidifying at high temperatures, resulting in insufficient metal strength. Therefore, the highest level a close-range soul tool could reach was level eight.

Based on the metals currently discovered by the Sun and Moon Empire, there are not enough of them to meet the hardness requirements, and there are not enough of them to meet the standard.

The former's close-range soul guides are simply unable to withstand the inscription of a level nine core magic array. Even if they are inscribed, they are unusable and have extremely short lifespans, basically needing to be scrapped after only two or three uses.

The latter simply didn't have that many, not enough to forge a level nine close-range soul tool.

"Then what do you want?" Ma Rulong asked in a deep voice.

"How about we make a bet?" Ye Qing's smile softened.

The Tang family's betting method is a unique feature of Douluo Continent and is not to be missed. Every time you initiate a Tang family bet, the other party will inevitably accept your bet and will honor their bet.

Sure enough, Ma Rulong immediately perked up when he heard the word "bet": "How do we bet?"

"You shouldn't be able to use an eighth-level close-range soul tool, right? If I'm not mistaken, that thing you're wearing on your back is probably an item that overdraws your life or potential, or both, to sacrifice a portion of your resources in exchange for the power to use this sword?" Ye Qing asked.

After a moment of silence, Ma Rulong nodded.

"Alright then, you don't need to use that seal anymore. I'll allow the seven of you to use this sword together and unleash your strongest attack. And what I want to bet is that if I can withstand this attack, the sword will be mine from now on. If I can't, Shrek Academy loses this round." Ye Qing smiled even more brightly.

"How about exchanging your lifespan and potential for ownership of this sword?"

After hearing Ye Qing's words, Dai Yueheng and the others were about to speak up to stop him, but they quickly fell silent. The semi-finals and finals were best-of-three matches, so even if Ye Qing lost this bet, it wouldn't be a big problem, since Shrek Academy couldn't lose anyway.

Ye Qing can reliably win one game in a one-on-one situation, defeating seven opponents at once. He can also reliably win one game with a two-two-three strategy. In the remaining game, he and Ma Xiaotao, both Soul Emperors, can also reliably win one game together.

So whether we win or lose this team fight doesn't really matter much.

As the team's star player, let Ye Qing do whatever he wants. After all, it's useless for them to offer suggestions, because Ye Qing simply won't listen.

So after hearing this, none of the six Shrek members said much, indicating that they would obey Ye Qing's arrangements.

After hearing about the bet, Ma Rulong's first thought was to refuse.

It's not that he didn't want to agree; if he could avoid damaging his lifespan and potential, who would be willing to burn their own foundation?

But this Sword of Judgment was lent to him by Jing Hongchen, and it has to be returned after the competition. How could he have the right to use the Sword of Judgment as a wager?

To put it bluntly, even if he were to sell his Level 6 Soul Master status, he probably still wouldn't be able to afford this Sword of Judgment.

But Xiao Hongchen said directly, "I agree. I'll wager this sword. If you take it, the sword is yours!"

Then he looked at Ma Rulong and said seriously, "Senior Ma, since you have the courage to sacrifice yourself, I, Xiao Hongchen, will not let you give in vain. If the Sword of Judgment loses, I will personally explain to Grandpa after we return to Mingdu!"

Although Xiao Hongchen has changed his views, he is still the same proud Xiao Hongchen! He has already lost to Ma Rulong once in terms of determination, and he will not lose a second time today!

Ma Rulong fell silent, then turned to look at the Sword of Judgment stuck beside him and nodded vigorously.

"good!"

At this moment, Ma Rulong was filled with emotion. His passion had not cooled, and he was proud to be a member of the Sun Moon Empire!

Ye Qing regained her calm and smiling demeanor, and couldn't help but silently complain in her heart: As expected of the Tang family's betting method, it never fails!

As for the referee... it's that fun guy, Shattered Star Douluo. Every time Ye Qing participates in a battle, the actual battle time is very short, unlike other teams that fight for tens of minutes or even hours. So he's happy to watch some pre-match entertainment.

Even if he watched some entertainment before the match, it wouldn't affect his ability to finish get off work at lightning speed after the match started, so Shattered Star Douluo had no intention of interrupting them at all.

The audience didn't mind at all, after all, this was an unexpected little show. They came to see Ye Qing's heroic figure in battle, and this special form of battle was much more exciting than ordinary free-for-all!

Seeing that both teams had reached a consensus, Shattered Star Douluo coughed lightly twice and announced loudly:

"The first match of the semifinals: Shrek Academy versus Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, a team battle!"

"You have one minute to release your Martial Soul and prepare. The match will begin in one minute!"

The seven members of the Sun and Moon team immediately changed their formation.

Ma Rulong withdrew the Chapter of Sacrifice, held the Sword of Judgment in both hands, and stood at the forefront. Behind him, Xiao Hongchen and the other six formed a semi-circle, placed their right hands on Ma Rulong's body, and began to gather their soul power, preparing to inject it into his body.

On Shrek's side, apart from Ye Qing taking a few steps forward, the others tacitly retreated to the edge of the arena, just like when they fought the Fighting Spirit Team last time, and began to watch the show from the sidelines.

One minute passed quickly.

"Three, two, one! The match begins!" Shattered Star Douluo gave the order.

Ma Rulong let out a low shout, and instantly raised his hands holding the Sword of Judgment above his head, pouring all his soul power into the Sword of Judgment. The others also began to inject their soul power into Ma Rulong's body through their right hands.

As soul power continued to flow into it, the Sword of Judgment gradually lit up.

The black and white blades gradually turned into a brilliant gold as soul power was injected into them. The patterns engraved on the surface began to gradually transform the soul power of the seven people, and the core magic array in the sword began to roar wildly!

Ye Qing snapped his fingers lightly, then opened his right palm. Extreme cold air gradually rose from his palm and condensed into an ice sword in his hand!

Emperor Sword: Unrivaled Ice!

"This is...so familiar!!" Just as Huo Yuhao sat down like a lackey, looking at Ye Qing, who was the center of attention above the arena, with envy, jealousy, and hatred, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm sleeping in his sea of ​​consciousness woke up.

"Hmm? Brother Tianmeng, what looks familiar?" Huo Yuhao asked, somewhat puzzled.

After hesitating for a moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm replied somewhat uncertainly, "This icy aura... I feel like I've sensed it somewhere before. It's very familiar, but I can't quite place it."

It watched as Ye Qing held the condensed ice sword in his hand, its sleepy little brain working frantically, but it just couldn't remember.

After all, it had never seen the Snow Empress, so it could not have seen Ice Extreme Peerless. The familiar aura that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm once sensed was just a trace of the Snow Empress's aura carried by the Ice Empress.

That's why it could only feel a sense of familiarity, but couldn't connect it to the Snow Emperor it had never seen before.

But there wasn't much time left for Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to think.

The attack was complete when the Sword of Judgment had drained Ma Rulong's soul power and nearly exhausted the soul power of the other six. At the moment the attack was launched, Ma Rulong was actually somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, he didn't use the Chapter of Sacrifice. Otherwise, such a massive output of soul power would have cost him at least thirty years of lifespan and potential, making him practically useless in the future.

"Come on, Ye Qing! I told you, I will use this sword to shatter your undefeated myth!" Ma Rulong shouted, his face flushed, and the Judgment Sword he held high was instantly swung down, pointing directly at Ye Qing.

"They are the light; condemn them as heretics!"

Ye Qing is of the Light attribute. When Ma Rulong uses the Sword of Judgment, he naturally combines the Light attribute of the Sword of Judgment with Ye Qing's attribute, and then reverses this huge power of Light to use the power of Darkness to judge!

The moment the Sword of Judgment connected with Ye Qing, Ma Rulong almost lost control!
