Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 199 A mere Ninth Ring, courting its own destruction!

"Your Majesty, someone is here!"

Just as Lin Yun was admiring the imposing golden dragon scythe in his hand, Hyotei's alert voice rang out.

Lin Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and the Golden Dragon Death Scythe in his hand instantly transformed into a golden ray and returned to his brow. His originally extremely depleted appearance was also greatly restored under the full power of the Life Gold, and now he only looked a little pale and weak.

"Bing'er, who is this?" Lin Yun asked softly.

"A titled Douluo around level 91, his strength is very weak. I sensed his aura when Your Majesty was competing before," Ice Emperor replied, his tone filled with intense killing intent.

"Your Excellency, he's currently setting up an aura barrier. Should I just freeze him into an ice sculpture?"

A level 91 Title Douluo?

"No need, withdraw your soul power barrier and let him in." Lin Yun suddenly smiled.

He initially thought it was some titled Douluo who had a grudge against Shrek Academy and was planning to kill him, or someone from some faction trying to win him over. But as soon as Ice Emperor spoke, he realized who it was.

In the original story, who else, besides that little ant who got beaten up by Chicken Leg Douluo, would appear at this point in time and be so weak?

In the original story, he treated Huo Yuhao as a transformed soul beast and even wanted to capture him to exchange for a set of soul bones. So now, what does he consider himself to be?

Just when I was wondering where I could find some fun for Xu Jiawei, this little ant delivered itself right to my doorstep.

Lin Yun sat cross-legged on the bed, pretending to meditate with a smile, waiting for Cheng Gang to appear. After working for half a day to completely complete the soul power barrier, Cheng Gang appeared directly in front of Lin Yun.

"I'm really lucky! I actually managed to run into a transformed soul beast!" Cheng Gang stared intently at Lin Yun, his old face full of greed.

"Still looking? If you look at me like that again, I'll gouge your eyes out!" Lin Yun opened his eyes and rubbed his fingers together with a displeased expression.

Old Deng's gaze was even more disgusting than Nantong's, making Lin Yun feel a chill run down his spine.

Lin Yun had originally planned to have a serious talk with him, but the old man's eyes really disgusted him. Now he just wanted to kill this old man Bi Deng at lightning speed and then go and increase Xu Jiawei's strength.

On the other hand, Cheng Gang was furious after being rebuked by Lin Yun.

"Very well, you still dare to be so arrogant even though I've recognized you." Cheng Gang laughed angrily, and nine spirit rings appeared on his body, two yellow, three purple, and four black, exuding the aura of a Title Douluo.

"Although I don't know how you managed to conceal your soul beast aura, you can fool others, but you can't fool me! I can tell you're not human at a glance!"

Cheng Gang, smug and triumphant, reached out and grabbed Lin Yun by the neck to completely subdue him.

Faced with Cheng Gang's actions, Lin Yun remained motionless, only looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man, his face full of disdain.

His fearless attitude did indeed make Cheng Gang realize something was wrong, but his greed for a 100,000-year-old soul beast made him suppress his unease. All Cheng Gang could do was speed up his actions and deal with Lin Yun as quickly as possible.

Closer... even closer!

Everything around him seemed to slow down in Cheng Gang's eyes. He watched his fingers approach Lin Yun's neck inch by inch, listening to his own heart pounding.

Immense wealth is within reach!

Cheng Gang's smile gradually widened, and he was already imagining the scene of him exchanging Lin Yun, this "100,000-year-old transformed soul beast," for a complete set of top-grade soul bones, greatly increasing his strength.

Just as he was about to touch Lin Yun, a faint emerald light appeared, and an extreme chill instantly swept through the entire room. In Cheng Gang's suddenly contracted pupils, the hand he reached for Lin Yun was instantly frozen from the fingertips by the terrifyingly low temperature, turning his entire right hand into an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye.

The chill was still lingering, and before he could even react, half of his body had already lost sensation, and he was immobilized on the spot.

Salad... salad...

A rustling sound quietly arose, like the sound of multi-legged insects crawling on cloth. In the quiet room, the sound was extremely clear, and it brought Cheng Gang's consciousness, which had been dulled by the extreme cold, back to its original clarity.

Then he saw it.

A vibrant emerald green bud gradually emerged from Lin Yun's shoulder, then perched there, its small, bright yellow eyes coldly staring at him.

It was a scorpion the size of a palm, its entire body as if carved from the finest jade, so beautiful it seemed otherworldly.

"Ice...Ice Jade Scorpion!" Cheng Gang murmured absentmindedly, his hoarse voice filled with intense fear.

The overwhelming ferocity of the Ice Emperor descended upon Cheng Gang without any concealment. The aura of a 400,000-year-old beast even gave him a suffocating sense of impending death.

"You are... the seventh of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Ice Emperor?"

Cheng Gang himself was an idiot, ignorant of his own limited perspective, but as a titled Douluo, he still had some knowledge. Although he had never seen the Ice Jade Scorpion in person, he had seen its portrait.

There is only one Ice Jade Scorpion as powerful as the one before us in the entire Ice Jade Scorpion clan.

That is the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, the Ice Emperor.

"You have some knowledge, but it won't save your life," Hyotei's icy voice rang out.

Ice Emperor's answer completely put an end to Cheng Gang's anxiety. Any one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts possesses the strength of a Super Douluo or higher, and Ice Emperor, who is 390,000 years old, has terrifying strength approaching that of a Level 98 Super Douluo.

Cheng Gang was unaware that the Ice Emperor had already broken through the Heavenly Tribulation of 400,000 years, but even so, he did not believe that he had the ability to escape from the Ice Emperor's clutches.

Moreover, he was already under the control of Hyotei at this point.

The solid ice that had spread across half of his body could not be eliminated even slightly, no matter how much he activated his soul core or circulated his soul power.

"So you really are a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, that you can actually have the Ice Emperor, the king of ferocious beasts, protecting you by your side!" Cheng Gang said through gritted teeth.

Lin Yun clicked his tongue, glanced at the pathetic soul ring configuration on his body, and said with a 'regretful' tone, "With a mere nine soul rings, why court death?"

"Bing'er, send him on his way. Remember to keep his head; I still need it."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Gang's eyes widened as he heard the biggest secret before he died, but the next moment, his consciousness sank completely into darkness, and his body was completely covered by solid ice.

Hyotei transformed into human form, sat in Lin Yun's lap, and gently snapped her fingers. Cheng Gang, frozen into an ice sculpture, shattered into countless ice shards with a crack, which she then waved out the window. His face, wide open in death, still bore the intense fear of his death.
