Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Yan himself possesses an ability similar to elemental immunity and rapid recovery. Combined with two recovery soul skills that last for 100,000 years, it is conceivable that his recovery is comparable to Wolverine from Marvel, and his defense is far superior to ordinary people. Others can't even take any damage from him. His future enemies will definitely be in despair.

"Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding..." Yan pondered and felt his improvement, and then once again possessed his martial soul. Eight soul rings pulsated around his body, one yellow, two purple, one black and four red. The eight soul rings rotated and rippled around him.

With a thought, Yan's blood-red soul light enveloped the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, and a golden-red light instantly swept out, carrying a strange pressure and an unfathomable noble aura, causing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to unconsciously release its own domain to resist.

Yan's eighth spirit ring is naturally at the 100,000-year level and he has gained two spirit skills, one of which is the Phoenix Domain he is currently using.

This domain is extremely special, far more powerful than ordinary fire domains. Once unleashed, any non-living matter within its range will be assimilated by the phoenix flames.

Moreover, within this domain, Yan's Phoenix Flame fire attribute ability will be increased by fifty percent, and he will be immortal within the domain, able to use Phoenix Flame to regenerate at any time with almost no consumption.

This Phoenix Domain complements his Soul Bone Skill Rebirth in Flames extremely well. Yan is already invincible and cannot lose health, and with these two powerful 100,000-year Soul Skills, even if he were to go head-to-head with a demigod, they would have no way to deal with him.

"I feel incredibly powerful right now." The Phoenix Domain swept across and enveloped the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and a strange, pulsating golden-red flame appeared in Yan's palm.

This is the second 100,000-year soul skill of his eighth soul ring, Undying Flame Burning. Don't underestimate this small flame; it possesses the characteristics of phoenix flames. Once attacked, it will burn continuously until it completely incinerates the opponent.

Phoenix Flames are an extremely powerful and troublesome force, and this 100,000-year-old soul skill is guaranteed to hit within the Phoenix Domain, and is also a lock-on skill outside the domain, making it almost impossible to dodge.

This powerful skill compensated for Yan's attack methods, giving him stronger combat capabilities. Overall, he was quite satisfied with this trip to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Chapter 403 The Death of Davis

"Uh! Good, good wine." Late at night, on the streets of Tiandou City, a drunken blond youth stumbled along the road. He was obviously drunk and almost bumped into roadside debris several times along the way.

Upon closer inspection, the young man was quite good-looking. He was 1.8 meters tall with broad shoulders. Although he was somewhat unkempt, he was still quite handsome. His long blond hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and he just looked a bit颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, decadent, or颓废).

"Mu Bai, I didn't expect you to have changed so much over the years. Why haven't you come home for so long?" As the blond youth was walking, a male voice suddenly came from behind him. The youth named Mu Bai stopped in his tracks, his eyes becoming clearer. He shook his head and turned around.

On the moonlit street, behind Dai Mubai, a blond youth who bore a striking resemblance to him appeared out of nowhere.

The young man had long, golden hair that cascaded down his back, a lazy expression on his face, and a shimmering purple light in his eyes. He was even taller than Dai Mubai.

Although it was casual, his smile still revealed a hint of a superior's smile.

“Davis.” Dai Mubai was much more awake now, and the light in his eyes immediately became alert. He noticed that everything around him seemed different from usual. There should be quite a few pedestrians on this street at this time, but there was no one here today.

"Mu Bai, it's a bit inappropriate for you to call me 'Big Brother' like that! We're brothers, after all. It's been so many years, and I've missed you terribly." Davis's gaze swept across Dai Mu Bai's face as he said calmly, "Mu Bai, your appearance in Wuhun City last time was truly unexpected. If it weren't for Tang San's sudden accident, we might have been able to have a fair fight. You've already succeeded by making it to Wuhun City. But you should understand that doing so forces me to take action against you. However, since you later withdrew from the competition, I'm not that petty. The Heaven Dou Empire isn't a peaceful place after all. Come back to Star Luo City with me."

"Davis, stop pretending. When have you ever stopped attacking me?" Dai Mubai's tiger-like eyes were filled with coldness as he said in a chilling voice, "I've already hidden myself in the Heaven Dou Empire, why are you still so aggressive?" Davis's gaze suddenly turned domineering, and his entire body seemed to relax, his broad shoulders and equally sinister face appearing exceptionally handsome at this moment.

“Mu Bai, you should understand that I am your elder brother, and I will inherit our father’s position in the future. You have to do what I say. You are a prince of the Star Luo Empire. What kind of thing is it for you to stay in the Heaven Dou Empire? I can tolerate you living as a playboy, but you must stay in Star Luo City. There is no room for discussion on this matter.”

"Davis, don't push your luck." Dai Mubai clenched his fists. After the Wuhun City incident several years ago, he had completely given up on competing with Davis and went to Blue Tyrant Academy as an ordinary teacher after the Elite Tournament.

For the past few years, he had been living a life of leisure, indulging in drinking and merrymaking every day, just to enjoy these last happy days. He thought that life would continue peacefully, but he never expected that Davis would still come knocking on his door.

Dai Mubai was furious. He had already fled to Tiandou City, but his older brother still wouldn't let him go.

The dignified Crown Prince of Star Luo actually sent his own son to capture him in Heaven Dou City; was he planning to exterminate him completely? Davis's eyes blazed with purple light as he looked at Dai Mubai, who was unleashing astonishing soul power.

"Are you going to fight me?" Dai Mubai calmly replied, coldly, "Davis, I have no interest in the throne of the Star Luo Empire, but don't push your luck, I will not go with you."

“This matter is not up to you.” Davis was naturally very dissatisfied with Dai Mubai’s tactless behavior, and with a leap, he struck out with his palm.

"Boom!" Extremely similar soul power fluctuations collided on the street, and the two tiger-patterned figures staggered back several steps after colliding in mid-air.

"Your strength has progressed so quickly." Davis looked at Dai Mubai in great shock after landing. At this moment, he had completed the White Tiger Martial Soul Possession, and five soul rings appeared on his body: two yellow, two purple, and one black. After the Elite Tournament, he worked hard to cultivate and finally broke through to the Soul King level some time ago.

However, Davis was not very excited at this moment. Instead, he stared at the opposite side, Dai Mubai, who had also released the White Tiger Martial Soul.

Dai Mubai had four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, flashing on his body. His raw strength was slightly inferior to Davis's, but he hadn't fallen far behind in the previous head-on clash.

Davis's face was grave, and his killing intent surged.

"Dai Mubai, I underestimated you. I didn't expect your strength to be almost catching up with mine. If Zhu Yun hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have thought you would have such strength." Originally, he was wary of Dai Mubai after the Martial Soul City incident, but seeing that the latter did not return to Star Luo City to compete for the throne, he relaxed his vigilance slightly.

However, the strength Dai Mubai displayed during their meeting this time far exceeded his expectations. He himself had only just broken through to the Soul King level, around level 52, yet he hadn't been able to completely overwhelm Dai Mubai in their exchange of blows. He was certain that Dai Mubai's soul power was at least level 47 or higher.

Dai Mubai coldly said to Davis, "My strength is none of your business. I've already said I have no interest in the Star Luo throne, so don't bother me anymore."

"Mu Bai, do you even believe these words yourself?" Davis said to Dai Mu Bai in a deep voice, "I originally thought you had really given up the struggle for the throne, but I didn't expect you to be secretly accumulating strength in the Heaven Dou Empire. If I hadn't come today, I wouldn't have discovered it. Maybe in a few years, you would have really caught me off guard."

"I can't help it if that's how you think, but it's impossible for you to make me go back to Star Luo City. If you keep pushing me, we can see who falls first." Dai Mubai was very cold and tough in response to Davis's questioning. He really didn't want the Star Luo throne anymore, but he was even less willing to go back to that place. As for improving his strength, he was, after all, a Soul Master. Although he spent his days drinking and having fun, he hadn't fallen behind in his cultivation.

Dai Mubai's cultivation talent actually far surpasses that of Davis. The reason he can't compete with Davis is entirely due to the age difference and his own personality. He was probably bullied by Davis a lot when he was young, so he was a little afraid of competing with his older brother and chose to run away back then.

But after all these years away, he has come out of the shadows. The reason he is unwilling to return to Xingluo is partly because he really has little intention of competing for the throne, and partly because of Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing has left him, and he alone would not be able to compete if he went back.

"You're really confident, my little brother." Davis's eyes were filled with killing intent. Dai Mubai's talent made him both wary and jealous. He knew very well that this playboy hadn't used his full strength in cultivation, yet he had gradually caught up with his cultivation level. This really made him, as the older brother, very unhappy.

"You're welcome to try and see if you can take me down." Dai Mubai wasn't afraid of Davis now. Although Davis had a higher cultivation level and an extra ten-thousand-year soul ring, the difference in their soul power was less than five levels. They were also close to Blue Tyrant Academy, so if he couldn't beat him, he could still run away. After all, he had been in Heaven Dou City for a few years and was considered a local strongman. He was confident that Davis couldn't handle him.

"Zhu Yun, you're absolutely right. My younger brother is quite a handful." Davis looked at the uncooperative Dai Mubai, a cold smile playing on his lips, and then turned his head to whisper into the shadows.

A beautiful figure suddenly appeared from the shadows. She slowly walked into the moonlight, and her hazy yet curvaceous figure filled Davis's eyes with infatuation.

This girl was none other than Zhu Zhuqing's older sister, and Davis's fiancée, Zhu Zhuyun. She was about the same height as Davis, with an extremely voluptuous figure and skin as white as mutton fat. She also had a smile on her face, but with a touch more gentleness.

“Zhu Zhuyun.” Dai Mubai’s eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the woman. Then, his second and fourth soul rings flashed at the same time. In the yellow and purple soul light, the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave and the White Tiger Meteor Shower were activated instantly. The intense light instantly covered Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.

Dai Mubai immediately activated his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and then turned and fled quickly. He was not an impulsive person. He could barely handle Davis and, with his combat wisdom, had a chance to fight to the death. But if Zhu Zhuyun were added to the mix, he would be doomed to defeat.

"We can't let him get away, let's chase after him." In the dazzling white light, two figures appeared one after the other. Davis looked at Dai Mubai's fleeing figure with murderous intent and hurriedly called Zhu Zhuyun to chase after him. However, the next moment, something he couldn't believe happened.

"You—" Davis called out to Zhu Zhuyun and quickly went forward, but he did not expect that Zhu Zhuyun would not follow immediately. Then, after his back was exposed, she stepped forward and slashed out. Davis only felt a pain in his back and saw a jade hand slowly withdrawing from his chest.

"Uh..." Davis was hit in a vital spot, his mouth wide open and he was breathing with difficulty. He never expected his fiancée to be so ruthless. Caught off guard, he had no chance to save himself.

Zhu Zhuyun was caught off guard and was far stronger than Davis. After piercing Davis's vitals with a single claw, her soul power quickly extinguished all of Davis's life force. The latter could still groan a few times, but it was just a last gasp before death.

"You shouldn't have been coveting my body all this time. She doesn't belong to you. It would have been so much better if we could have lived in peace. Why did you have to force me? I didn't originally intend to make a move on you so soon." Zhu Zhuyun took out a handkerchief to wipe the bloodstains from her jade-like hands and said something that almost made Davis explode with anger. His fiancée had been refusing to let him touch her, and now she was even trying to kill him because he was lusting after her body. This was simply too much.

Chapter 404 Chasing Dai Mubai

"You, you, why..." Davis pressed his neck and breathed rapidly, blood flowing continuously from the hole in his chest. The crimson blood kept increasing, and he felt more and more tired. He wanted to close his eyes, but he was unwilling and did not understand why Zhu Zhuyun wanted to kill him.

"Why would I kill you? Well, how should I put it? Probably because of the engagement." Zhu Zhuyun walked up to Davis, looked down at the man with whom she had countless ties, and casually tossed the bloodstained handkerchief onto his head.

"Daughters of the Zhu family are betrothed to the royal family from birth. Sisters fight each other, and marriage and love are not their own choice, especially love. I tried to accept you, but how are you any different from Dai Mubai? You already have me as your fiancée, yet you keep sleeping with one woman after another. You say it's because I won't give myself to you, but I don't accept that reason. I had actually resigned myself to my fate, after all, this is the fate of the Zhu family. But what can I do when I meet another man? He took my body, and I don't hate him, so you became an obstacle."

“Adulterer, adulterer…” When Davis heard these words, his purple eyes suddenly contracted. He never expected that his fiancée, who had always been reserved and unwilling to share a room with him, was actually someone else’s woman, and that was the reason she decided to take his life.

"Your Highness, let's get to know each other again. Come to think of it, we're old friends." Davis suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice. He glared at the figure approaching and pulling his fiancée into his arms, fondling the body he had long coveted. The sight made him want to vomit blood.

"This guy is supposed to be a crown prince, how could he be so careless as to follow you to Heaven Dou City alone? Is there anything wrong with this?" The guy who made Davis so angry that he almost vomited blood was naturally a certain holy son of the Spirit Hall. At this moment, he was holding a plump and proud cat, and his palm deeply felt what it meant to not be able to hold it with one hand.

Instead of stopping someone's excessive behavior, the big cat Zhu Zhuyun actively dribbled the ball and bumped into him, giving Yan Shengzi a reason to punish the pair of fouling balls. The big cat's coquettishness was very nice, at least Yan couldn't resist it.

"His attempt to ambush Dai Mubai in Tiandou City was very secretive. Although the Star Luo Empire encourages conflict, they are still wary of direct fratricide. To make things easier and avoid detection, he only took me with him tonight." Zhu Zhuyun leaned against Yan's chest and whispered, "This guy has become increasingly dissatisfied with me over the years. I've avoided him many times under the pretext of cultivation. This time, I was really driven to desperation by his persistent pursuit, so he devised this scheme. I hope it won't ruin your plans."

"Although it deviates somewhat from the plan, it's not a big problem." Yan hugged Zhu Zhuyun and gently kissed her rosy cheek. He didn't care about Zhu Zhuyun's plot to kill Davis. Although it was a bit troublesome, since this eldest prince dared to harass his woman repeatedly, he had a way to die.

"Accompanying Davis this time are several of his trusted retainers. Although there are no Title Douluos, there is one Soul Douluo and three Soul Saints. It won't be easy to keep them all here, but you should still have a way, right?" Zhu Zhuyun whispered to Yan, introducing the powerful figures Davis had brought to this mission. In order to completely eliminate the threat of Dai Mubai, Davis was willing to take the risk alone, and he had made sufficient preparations.

Blue Tyrant Academy's overall strength is not bad. If Davis's ambush fails, he will forcibly kidnap the person. There are also several level 70 or above experts lying in ambush on the outer perimeter. Even if they force their way into Blue Tyrant Academy, they are confident that they can take the person away. However, that would cause too much of a commotion.

"Are you talking about those few? I already took care of them before I came here. They weren't too strong." Yan casually tossed out a few corpses that had been stored in his soul tool. Looking at the several Soul Saints and Soul Douluos who died with their eyes wide open, Zhu Zhuyun was greatly shocked.

Yan had said he would arrange for people to cooperate with the plan, but she never expected the cooperation to be like this. These were four experts above level 70, including a Soul Douluo, yet they died so silently, without even a sound.

“Dai Mubai has been on his way for a while. I’ve arranged for Zhu Qing to deal with him. Let’s go take a look.” Yan pinched Zhu Zhuyun’s tender, supple skin. The Crown Prince’s wife, Dai Mubai, really felt wonderful to the touch. It was such a rare treat to finally meet her, and Yan felt it would be too much of a waste not to give the little kitten a night.

"Zhu Qing is here too?" Zhu Zhuyun's eyes were complicated when she heard that Zhu Zhuqing had arrived. Over the years, the relationship between the two sisters had eased a lot, but the antagonism from the past still left a knot between them. However, they were sisters, and it was always a good thing for sisters to be united, whether from the perspective of blood or anything else.

……

"Huff, huff, huff..." On the moonlit street, Dai Mubai ran for his life with rapid breathing. He didn't even dare to look back, but just kept speeding up and running in the direction he knew. He was extremely anxious and eager to get back to Blue Tyrant Academy.

"Since Davis is here, he probably has some backup plan. I can't just sit here and wait to die. The Dean and the others probably can't protect me. I need to find a way to contact the powerful and influential people in Tiandou City. The Crown Prince of Tiandou, Xue Qinghe, is a good candidate." Dai Mubai was thinking about a way to save himself while he was fleeing at top speed. Over the years, he had considered the possibility that the Xingluo royal family would not let him go and had thought of some ways to deal with it. However, he had not encountered any pressure from the Xingluo side before, so he had not done so.

His identity still holds great value. He is a fallen prince of the Star Luo Empire. If he were to pledge allegiance to the Heaven Dou royal family, the Heaven Dou imperial family might secretly take him in and protect him for their own benefit. However, doing so would inevitably draw him into a complex power struggle, and his life would be out of his control.

This is why Dai Mubai had been hiding his identity all along. If his identity as a prince were exposed, the powerful and influential people in Tiandou City would definitely take targeted actions, which would be very dangerous for him.

However, now that Davis has come knocking on his door, Dai Mubai is even less willing to entrust his life to this older brother. Therefore, he has already made up his mind that if this older brother continues to be aggressive, he should not blame him for betraying the interests of Xingluo and becoming a traitor.

Dai Mubai made a decision in his heart. As he was pondering it, he subconsciously sensed that something was wrong and suddenly stopped in his tracks, his expression becoming serious.

Something's not right. There's definitely something wrong around here. Dai Mubai turned his head but didn't find any pursuers. His vigilance was at its peak. He spread his senses, but still couldn't find anything. His anxiety was written all over his face, and sweat dripped from his chin to the ground.

He was quite meticulous, and even while running away, he didn't forget to observe his surroundings. Just now, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. From the time he ran until he stopped, about ten minutes had passed, and he had taken at least a thousand steps. Under normal circumstances, he should have already rushed into the Blue Tyrant Campus by now, so why was he still on the street?

Although he didn't know why this was happening, Dai Mubai, who had just been ambushed by Davis, was extremely cautious. Realizing that he had been subjected to some inexplicable trick, he dared not continue running around and quickly stopped to observe his surroundings.

The moonlight shone like water onto the earth, and the surrounding streets were still familiar to Dai Mubai. However, from a certain direction emanating a cold aura, he sensed a faint killing intent permeating the air, an aura that was enough to threaten his life.

Suddenly, everything became very quiet. The sounds that should have been on the street disappeared at the same time, and the scenery in front of me seemed to be covered by a thin veil. Everything became unclear at this moment.

A faint figure gradually became clearer ten meters away from Dai Mubai. When he saw who it was, Dai Mubai's eyes became extremely solemn.

"Zhu Qing, what are you doing here?" Dai Mubai looked at the person he had been longing for day and night, but his heart was no longer burning with passion. The cold and beautiful woman with a youthful face and a large, round belly was his fiancée. He had abandoned her once and then chased after her for thousands of miles, only to have her taken away by another man in the end, which was the pain that would haunt him for the rest of his life.

Dai Mubai dreamed of holding this girl in his arms again, but when Zhu Zhuqing appeared again, he felt only coldness and a trace of fear in his heart.

Zhu Zhuqing was snatched away by the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. Dai Mubai hated that guy immensely, but he also had to admit that he was someone he couldn't afford to offend, and even the entire Star Luo Empire might not be able to afford to offend. Therefore, Dai Mubai had long since given up on this ill-fated relationship.

However, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly appeared again this time. Considering Davis's pursuit earlier, the perceptive Dai Mubai sensed the atmosphere of a conspiracy. He was likely being targeted by the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, which made him fearful.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai in front of her, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"Dai Mubai, I hate you. Letting me send you on your way is a good thing for you, and it can also put an end to what happened between us."

"Hahaha, hahahaha... I, Dai Mubai, a useless prince, what merit do I possess to be personally plotted against by the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?" Dai Mubai suddenly laughed, a loud and unrestrained laugh. He looked around, trying to find the person he both feared and hated, and shouted sharply, "Why, why? I clearly gave up everything, why won't you all let me go... Come out here and speak! Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, you bastard, you're nothing but trash..."

"Bang!" Just as Dai Mubai was cursing, a figure suddenly appeared behind him and kicked him. Dai Mubai stumbled and fell face-first into the mud, his whole body aching.

"Zhu Qing, you still can't bring yourself to do it. Do you still have feelings for him?" A familiar female voice rang out, and when he realized who it was, his pupils constricted sharply.

Chapter 405 An Extraordinary Night

"Zhu Zhuyun, you... How could you... Where is Davis..." On the streets of Tiandou City, Dai Mubai suddenly turned his head and saw two rather familiar figures. Upon seeing the man and woman, his face was filled with shock and disbelief.

Zhu Zhuyun and the Holy Son Yan of the Spirit Hall actually appeared at the same time, while his good older brother Davis was nowhere to be found. Although it was just this little bit of information, Dai Mubai easily sensed the conspiracy.

Zhu Zhuyun was practically clinging to Yan, and it was obvious that their relationship was abnormal.

He understood Davis. Although he loathed his older brother, he knew that Davis was unlikely to betray the Star Luo royal family and join the Spirit Hall. Moreover, even if he did betray them, he would never tolerate being cuckolded.

The logic is simple. Just as he couldn't tolerate Zhu Zhuqing being taken away by Yan, how could Davis possibly allow his fiancée to have an ambiguous relationship with the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?

But now, with these two acting so blatantly, it seemed Davis was also in trouble. Zhu Zhuyun looked at Dai Mubai and said calmly, "He's already dead. You'll be joining him later." Even though Dai Mubai had already guessed the answer, he was still incredibly shocked when he heard the news. He shouted almost hysterically, "You, you're all crazy! A bunch of lunatics! Davis and I died in Tiandou City! Do you know how much trouble this will cause? Father won't let you get away with this! The Star Luo Empire won't let this go! You're going to start a war between the two empires! You're going to make the entire Douluo Continent restless..." Dai Mubai was shouting frantically. At this moment, he was more panicked than anyone else, but also terrified of death. He could only vent his frustration through this shouting, trying to warn these guys about the consequences.
