Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 406 Testing, Clash, Battle of the Peak

"Zhongli Wu is one thing, although he's an evil soul master, he's still on the same level as me." Du Busi glanced at Jing Hongchen sideways, "I didn't expect that you, at only level ninety-four, could stand so firmly in front of the two of us."

Upon hearing Du Bu Si's words, Zhong Li Wu also turned his gaze to Jing Hong Chen, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Because Shrek Academy in this world was so weak and Lin Yun basically made it unable to take care of itself, Xu Tianran didn't take Shrek Academy seriously at all, and naturally didn't seek cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult.

Originally, Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, was revered by Xu Tianran as the National Preceptor of the Sun Moon Empire. However, with no cooperation between the two sides, he naturally had no connection with the Sun Moon Empire anymore.

That being said, in truth, the Holy Spirit Cult is actually the only one among all the Soul Master factions that does not have prejudice against Soul Guidance Devices, and even vigorously develops them.

Ye Xishui, the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, is a Level 9 Soul Master. The other Third Elder, Ming Lei Douluo, is also a Level 9 Soul Master. Moreover, judging from the fact that he was able to take out a Level 9 fixed-position soul guide cannon to give to Huo Gua as a favor, he can even make a giant rocket.

Besides these two, it's hard to say whether the Holy Spirit Cult has any other level nine soul masters.

Even with just these two, the Holy Spirit Cult's emphasis on soul tools is already evident.

Ye Xishui, the Death God Douluo who possesses the Death God Tower, a level 9.5 soul tool, and the Netherworld Thunder Douluo, a level 9 soul tool capable of creating level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannons.

With these two around, Zhongli Wu would never underestimate Jing Hongchen, the Mingde Hall Master. The Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology is only more advanced than their Holy Spirit Sect's. Who knows, he might actually be able to use his level 94 cultivation to contend with himself and Du Busi, both level 98 Super Douluo.

Facing the gaze of the Poison Immortal, Zhongli Wu said calmly, "Don't look down on me. I don't care about these things, nor do I care how many people will fight over them. I only want to bring the Golden Tree back to the Holy Church and offer it as a sacrifice to the Holy Emperor and the Holy Spirit."

Upon hearing this, Du Busi frowned immediately.

In contrast, Jing Hongchen's innocent smile deepened.

The idea of ​​poison not dying was good, but Zhongli Wu was not fooled. Apart from Xuanzi, probably no one really thought that Jing Hongchen, the Mingde Hall Master, was weak. His words just now were more out of fear of Jing Hongchen, so he wanted to drag Zhongli Wu into the mess and have the two of them work together to eliminate Jing Hongchen.

After all, he possesses a set of soul tools that are difficult to defend against, making him a more formidable threat than other soul masters of the same level.

Zhongli Wu clearly didn't have this idea. No matter how nicely the Holy Spirit Cult talked, it couldn't change the fact that they were evil soul masters. In this situation, the more turbulent the waters, the more forces would participate in this chaotic battle, which would naturally be more beneficial to their Holy Spirit Cult.

Zhongli Wu wouldn't be foolish enough to give others the opportunity to attack him.

As for Jing Hongchen, needless to say, he's an old fox. He can basically guess what the other party is planning with just a glance or an expression. As soon as Du Busi opened his mouth, Jing Hongchen understood.

To be honest, if he were besieged by the Body Sect and the Holy Spirit Sect, he would really have to lead the Mingde Hall to retreat in disgrace. But obviously, the triangle is the most stable, and Zhongli Wu clearly wants to maintain this stable situation.

That makes things easier...

"Sect Master Poison need not worry about such things. Since I dare to stand in front of you, I am naturally confident that I can hold my own against you two for a few moves. In this situation, we can each rely on our own abilities," Jing Hongchen said 'humbly'.

"A dog that bites doesn't bark." Poison Undying's eyes sharpened slightly.

It was precisely Jing Hongchen's seemingly gentle yet cunning demeanor that made Du Busi, this reckless and simple-minded creature, particularly unhappy; otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to join forces with Zhongli Wu to take action.

The sense of threat posed by Jing Hongchen was in no way inferior to that posed by Zhongli Wu, the super evil soul master.

"You're right, then let's see who uses the most methods." Since brains aren't working, let's use our muscles!

Du Busi took the initiative, stomping his right foot on the ground and instantly shooting his body into the sky, transforming into a dark green pillar of light. The terrifying aura of a level 98 Super Douluo spread unchecked in all directions.

A giant phantom, hundreds of meters tall, emerged from a pillar of dark green light. The giant's face was none other than that of Poison Undying, a domineering and arrogant man.

Du Busi looked down at the golden tree at his feet, and at Zhongli Wu and Jing Hongchen beside it. A provocative smile appeared on the giant's face as he beckoned with his finger.

As for Yan Shaozhe?

They were completely ignored.

He, a "weakling," really wasn't qualified to participate in a battle of this level.

"Truly the demeanor of a strongman." Jing Hongchen murmured, his obese figure also disappearing. The next second, a muffled toad croaking sound rang out in the air, and a giant toad with metallic luster on its skin materialized from the void.

Those cold, iron-red eyes stared at Du Bu Si without any emotion.

"Gu...quack!!!"

With that croak of a frog, the clanging of metal against metal rang out continuously. One after another, huge cannon barrels "grew" out of the metal toad's body. Each cannon barrel exuded a terrifying aura. Each of those cannon barrels, which emitted the smell of gunpowder, was capable of firing level eight or even level nine fixed-position soul-guided shells!

In the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect version, the most powerful fixed-equipment Soul Master is none other than the Mingde Hall Master before us, the Red Dust Douluo Mirror Red Dust!

He is undoubtedly the master of war and the king of artillery. He may not have the most methods, but he is definitely the most lethal on the battlefield. He can be described as a mobile artillery platform and a metal fortress!

The dozen or so cannon barrels had already accumulated soul power and were ready to unleash a devastating attack at any time. As long as Jing Hongchen installed the cannonballs, he could fire ten level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs at the same time.

Knowing full well that the battle for the Golden Tree would definitely gather the most powerful forces in Douluo Continent, how could Jing Hongchen not be prepared?

If it weren't for the fact that one of the armories in Mingde Hall had been stolen during preparations for war, causing his blood pressure to spike, he could have brought twice as many level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.

Yes, Lin Yun's other Sun and Moon Armory, which he purchased for zero yuan, has also been discovered.

However, only the crime scene was discovered. Lin Yun, the mastermind, is currently still at the Lake of Life, enjoying a romantic moment with Gu Yuena.

It's impossible to find a single thing.

However, it doesn't matter. Even with only fifteen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, Jing Hongchen already has enough confidence to face the two level-nine-eight powerhouses, Du Busi and Zhong Liwu!

"Poison Sect Master, are my methods still worthy of your attention?" Jing Hongchen's signature voice came from the mouth of the metal toad, as more than a dozen cannons were simultaneously aimed at Poison Undying.

The feeling of being locked down immediately heightened Poison Undying's sense of crisis.

"Good lad, I underestimated you." Poison Undying's eyes were cold and sharp. In the original story, if the attack by the Body Sect hadn't happened inside the Mingde Hall, Poison Undying probably wouldn't have been able to suppress Jing Hongchen for long. Under his all-out attack, Poison Undying could at most only defend, and couldn't possibly restrain Jing Hongchen.

This toad covered in cannon barrels doesn't look like a frog at all; it looks more like a hedgehog.

Being in Mingde Hall, a place that belongs to him and is located hundreds of meters underground, is definitely not a friendly place for Jing Hongchen, a level nine soul master with maximum output.

This kind of terrain, where it's not one's own territory and one can bomb at will without any regard for the consequences, is Jing Hongchen's favorite battlefield.

Zhongli Wu on the ground looked at the two forces that had confronted each other in the sky. He first glanced at Yan Shaozhe, then casually said a few words before disappearing from his spot and reappearing on top of the Bone Dragon. He then piloted the Bone Dragon and soared into the sky.

"For Uncle Long and my mother's sake, I'll spare your life. If you know what's good for you, get out of here. Otherwise, even if I don't intervene, you're doomed. Don't expect me to save you; you're not worthy."

To be honest, Zhongli Wu was a bit speechless about this "nephew".

The fact that she was the offspring of his own mother and Long Xiaoyao made him even more troubled. Compared to this complicated family relationship, his affair with Feng Ling seemed insignificant.

If you were to ask Zhongli Wu to kill Yan Shaozhe, he definitely wouldn't dare. Before he clearly understands Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui's attitudes, even if he had two more lives, he wouldn't dare to make a move.

Let alone killing Yan Shaozhe, if Yan Shaozhe were truly on the verge of death, he might even have to intervene to save him.

Do you really think he really means it when he says he won't save them? He was just telling Yan Shaozhe to be smart and get lost.

If this kid really dies, and Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui both go berserk at the same time, even if he is a level 98 Super Douluo, he will be in deep trouble.

The Bone Dragon soared into the sky, appearing as two loaves of bread sandwiched with cheese, alongside Poison Undying and Mirror Red Dust, each positioned in a different location from the Golden Tree.

The momentum began to rise, the soul power began to become violent, and the air was scorching hot!

"roar!!"

"Croak—"

"hold head high……"

The giant's furious roar, the toad's crisp croaking, and the bone dragon's high-pitched dragon roar suddenly exploded in the air, and the battle was about to break out!

The dark green light spread first, and the little giant transformed from the Poison Undying, with an unparalleled aura, swung his huge fist and smashed it fiercely towards Zhongli Wu. Compared to Jing Hongchen, whose methods were unclear, he decided to test Zhongli Wu first!

Zhongli Wu naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. With his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttered in the air. Facing the attack from Du Busi, he simply calmly stomped on the head of the Bone-Stepping Dragon King with his foot.

Upon receiving the order, the Bone Dragon King's soul fire, which had been burning in its eye sockets, suddenly intensified. The power of wind and fire gathered in its mouth, with the wind fueling the fire and the fire drawing strength from the wind!

A beam of blue and red light, accompanied by a shrill and piercing dragon roar, suddenly erupted from the Bone Dragon King's mouth. The spiraling beam of blue and red light collided instantly with Poison Undying's fist.

Boom!!!

The dark green fist collided with the blue-red beam of light in mid-air, causing the entire sky to tremble violently as if it could not bear the weight. Even Shrek City beneath their feet was severely affected. Shrek City, which was already in ruins, became even more devastated under the earth-shaking impact.

The dark green fist swung forward relentlessly, smashing the blue-red pillar of light formed by the combination of wind and fire power, which then burst out and rushed past both sides of Poison Undying's body.

However, Poison Undying's punch only had the power of one punch, while the Bone Dragon King's dragon flames continued to attack. Facing the dragon flames that had not weakened, Poison Undying roared and swung both fists at the same time, alternately smashing them onto the dragon flames.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Boom!!!

Dragon Flame, like magma, was smashed into a rain of fire by Poison Undying's fist, then dripped onto the ground, igniting Shrek City beneath his feet and the surrounding forest.

Shrek City, already a ruin, now resembles a relic destroyed by a natural disaster, filled with an atmosphere of desolation and decay.

And what matched Shrek City was a scene in the sky that resembled a natural disaster.

The crimson and blue pillars of fire tore through the sky, drying up the clouds and distorting the air. The muffled thuds of the dark green giant crashing into the pillars of fire were like thunderclaps, as if they were about to shatter the sky itself.

No, the sky has cracked!

Click!

The sound of space shattering suddenly rang out. After Du Busi threw another punch, the space where Long Yan and his fist met finally shattered under the combined attack of the two level 98 experts, creating a hideous spatial rift!

The dragon's flames continued, and his punches never stopped!

The spatial rift was blasted larger and larger, eventually reaching a length of over a thousand meters, as if the entire sky had been torn in two!

"Drink... Give it to me, break!" Poison Undying roared, his dark green fist even turning a deep black under the extremely concentrated soul power.

The muscles in his arm suddenly tensed, and then he threw a hook punch!

Boom—!

This punch halted the surging dragon flames in mid-air and tore the horizontally torn spatial rift vertically toward Zhongli Wu!

Deep cracks, resembling the trails of lightning, spread towards Zhongli Wu, drawing the dragon flames along their path into the void.

Seeing this, Zhongli Wu lightly stepped down again, and the Bone Dragon King timely withdrew its dragon flames. With a tremor of its bone wings, it flew away from the place.

The next second, the spatial rift flashed across Zhongliwu's original position like lightning across the sky, and then returned to normal.

Feeling the space around him begin to tremble, Zhongli Wu's eyes also became somewhat solemn.

As expected of the sect leader of the Body Sect, his strength is truly remarkable. It's quite different from someone like him who directly broke through to level 98 by relying on the feedback from the Bone Dragon King.

But it doesn't matter, since I'm going for a summoner/beastmaster build, not a brute warrior build, and I have the Bone Dragon King.

Gold-level second awakening?

Go ahead and use it. Anyway, I have the Bone Dragon King, so I'm not afraid of you at all.

"Heh, your strength is indeed formidable, but if I and the Bone Dragon King were to attack together, how would you possibly cope?"
