Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

The thick, dark clouds resembled a black city, giving off a very oppressive feeling.

"It's probably going to rain soon. I wonder what the weather is like where Xiaoya is. Xiaoya, where are you?" Beibei's expression grew increasingly melancholy.

A moment later, he sensed that something was wrong with the dark cloud above his head.

Because it moved so fast, and wherever their group went, the dark cloud immediately expanded.

It was as if this dark cloud was following them.

"Yan Shaozhe, it's been many years. I never expected you to become the Dean of the Martial Soul Department." A majestic male voice rang out from the clouds, and then the shape of the dark clouds began to change.

Chapter 273 The Evil Soul Master Attacks

Soon, the dark clouds transformed into the shape of a tiger's head, and a powerful, oppressive aura emanated from them.

Yan Shaozhe stopped, shielding all the Shrek students behind him, and looked at Wu Yun with a solemn expression: "Zhang Peng? You're still alive? I thought you were long dead."

"Hahaha, Yan Shaozhe, you're overthinking it. I'm not that easy to kill. But, after all these years, your mouth is still as foul as ever. What, do you want me dead so badly?" Zhang Peng's voice, like rolling thunder, came from the dark clouds.

Yan Shaozhe said coldly, "That's natural. After all, the infamous Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng is a wicked person. Since you have appeared in front of me at this time, it means that you are going to do evil again. Your teacher is kind and spared your life, but now you have only caused trouble."

As soon as these words were spoken, dark clouds surged, and then an old man in black appeared, his chilling aura spreading out, making all the Shrek students present feel slightly uncomfortable.

Zhang Peng stared at Yan Shaozhe, and after a brief silence, said, "I am naturally grateful to Elder Mu for sparing my life back then. After all, with Elder Mu's strength, he could have easily killed me."

Therefore, as long as Elder Mu is still alive, even if someone puts a knife to my throat, I would never lay a hand on anyone from Shrek Academy.

However, so many years have passed, and I haven't heard any news of Elder Mu. It's always been Xuanzi who's been active outside. Elder Mu must have been severely injured and died long ago in his battle with Du Bisi. Yet your Shrek Academy has kept this news a secret all this time. Your method of keeping his death a secret is truly impressive.”

Yan Shaozhe narrowed his eyes slightly, without offering much explanation. After all, although Elder Mu was still alive, his physical condition was extremely poor, and there was a risk of death if he were to make a move. That was why Elder Mu, the renowned Dragon God Douluo, had disappeared from the Douluo Continent for many years.

Seeing that Yan Shaozhe did not respond, Zhang Peng sighed: "Yan Shaozhe, I am here to stop you today because I am following orders. How many of you will survive depends on luck."

"Of course, don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, you are Elder Mu's student. Once things have settled down, I will personally go to Elder Mu's grave to apologize."

Suddenly, an angry female voice came from mid-air: "Zhang Peng, Elder Mu spared your life back then, but now you maliciously speculate whether Elder Mu is dead and even want to attack the people of Shrek Academy. Since that's the case, I will kill you with my own hands today."

In an instant, a dragon's roar resounded, followed by a streak of azure light that pressed down on Zhang Peng like a surging tide, unstoppable.

Zhang Peng was somewhat surprised. He waved his hands, and a large amount of black light floated up, instantly transforming into a barrier that blocked the cyan light. For a moment, the light and flames surged. He said, "Martial God Douluo Xian Lin'er, I didn't expect you to come too. Even though you have already broken up with Yan Shaozhe, Shrek Academy still arranged for you to take action together. It seems that Shrek Academy attaches great importance to this group of students."

"Enough nonsense, today is your death day." Xian Lin'er was immediately furious. She did have a relationship with Yan Shaozhe back then, but Yan Shaozhe was flirting with other women during their relationship, which undoubtedly made Xian Lin'er very unhappy.

So, in order to spite Yan Shaozhe, she chose to be with Qian Duoduo. Even though she and Qian Duoduo were already married, they were only husband and wife in name, not in reality.

"Haha, it seems you still have some lingering feelings for that past relationship. However, Yan Shaozhe, that hypocrite, is not worth the esteemed Martial God Douluo's concern for so long." Zhang Peng smiled as he said these words, merely to influence Xian Lin'er's emotions and create an advantage during the battle.

With a gloomy face, Xian Lin'er charged towards Zhang Peng. Behind her, a flash of azure dragon light appeared and disappeared. A loud dragon roar rang out, and then scorching azure flames erupted from her center, sweeping towards Zhang Peng.

Zhang Peng was not to be outdone. His martial spirit was the Scorpion Tiger, a variant of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which was naturally extremely powerful. He let out a tiger's roar, and a large amount of black light burst forth, pushing aside the cyan flames. Almost instantly, he transformed into a huge black tiger.

A pair of dark purple eyes revealed a murderous intent.

Behind it, there was a long scorpion tail, where dark clouds condensed.

He let out a low roar, flicked his scorpion tail, and streaks of dark light condensed into fine needles, attacking Xian Lin'er. This was a powerful soul skill he had mastered: Scorpion Tail Needles. Any life struck by the Scorpion Tail Needles would basically be poisoned.

Xian Lin'er was not to be outdone. As an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, her strength was beyond doubt. She immediately took out a spear of the eighth-level soul tool level, let out a loud dragon roar, and a phantom of a blue flame dragon appeared behind her. Her figure suddenly became a few sizes larger, and her aura was even more powerful than before.

After years of research by Shrek Academy, it was discovered that once a Soul Master reaches the Super Douluo level, they can use their Martial Soul True Body while maintaining their human form. This combat method is called True Body Descent.

Compared to fighting in her beast form, Xianlin'er is actually more skilled at fighting in her human form, so she naturally adopted the method of descending into her true form to fight.

Then, a large amount of cyan flames condensed on the spear, and the temperature of the air rose. She wielded the spear so tightly that it was impenetrable. The scorpion stingers struck the spear, producing a clanging sound. All the scorpion stingers were shattered by Xian Lin'er. Then, she instantly appeared in front of Scorpion Tiger Douluo and began to fight him.

"Dean Yan, will Dean Xian win?" Ye Xiaosheng asked with some concern.

"You should have faith in her. After all, Lin'er's title is Martial God. Countless people have been defeated by Lin'er back then. Although Scorpion Tiger Douluo is also very powerful, I believe in Lin'er." Yan Shaozhe said with a faint smile.

Suddenly, a chilling aura filled the surroundings. Yan Shaozhe, with his keen senses, immediately emitted a white light from his body, dispelling the chilling aura in an instant.

"Who's there? Sneaking around like that, come out now." As the Phoenix Douluo, Yan Shaozhe naturally has a certain degree of restraint against evil soul masters. Although it is not as strong as the Holy Angel's suppression of evil soul masters, he can still gain a certain advantage in battles against evil soul masters.

"Dean Yan's perception is truly keen," an aged voice rang out.

"Yes, we almost killed these Shrek students, but it looks like we'll have to fight you again." A hoarse voice rang out.

As soon as he finished speaking, two elderly men who looked to be around seventy years old appeared around the Shrek exchange students. They each had nine spirit rings under their feet and exuded a powerful aura.

The two are Wanhun Douluo and Zange Douluo, both elders of the Holy Spirit Cult and evil soul masters at the Title Douluo level.

"Are you Zhang Peng's backup plan?" Yan Shaozhe sensed that the situation was not good. Although he trusted Xian Lin'er's strength, he knew that Xian Lin'er would not be able to defeat Scorpion Tiger Douluo in a short time.

Chapter 274 Shrek Academy Suffers Heavy Casualties

He also had to fight these two guys while protecting the Shrek students. Undoubtedly, this was a very difficult task, since protecting people meant having to be distracted.

Xian Lin'er also noticed the sudden appearance of two Title Douluos in the arena. After repelling Zhang Peng, she shouted anxiously, "Elder Xuan! The students' safety is now in serious danger. Aren't you going to take action?"

Actually, Xuanzi was traveling with her and Yan Shaozhe at first, but he left halfway through the flight, saying that he did so to cover his tracks. However, he would also keep an eye on the Shrek exchange students in secret.

Elder Xuan?

Upon hearing this name, Zhang Peng immediately had the idea of ​​making a run for it. After all, Xuanzi was a level 98 Super Douluo, and if Xuanzi joined the battle, the scales of victory would tip in Shrek Academy's favor.

Both Wanhun Douluo and Zangwu Douluo showed fear on their faces. This was partly due to Xuanzi's strength, and partly because Xuanzi had killed a large number of evil soul masters during the campaign to eliminate them in the Douluo Three Kingdoms. Therefore, Xuanzi was currently notorious among the evil soul masters.

If Xuanzi catches me, I'll surely die.

The Shrek Academy exchange students immediately perked up, and many even showed relieved smiles on their faces, because everyone knew about Elder Xuan's strength. As long as Elder Xuan took action, everything would be fine.

However, Beibei frowned and looked serious, appearing somewhat out of place among the group of Shrek exchange students who were all beaming with joy.

Because he knew Xuanzi's personality, if the other party had been keeping an eye on this place from the shadows, he would definitely take swift and decisive action when the two newly titled Douluo joined the battle.

After all, both of these guys were evil spirit masters, and everyone present was basically aware of the hatred between Elder Xuan and evil spirit masters.

"Could it be that Elder Xuan is hiding in a faraway place again, just to drink and eat chicken legs?" Bei Bei asked helplessly.

Last time, the Shrek team suffered a severe blow because Elder Xuan was drinking and eating chicken legs. If it happens again this time, the Shrek exchange students will be in danger.

Yan Shaozhe's mood was extremely heavy at this moment, because he knew that Elder Xuan had gone to ambush the Sun and Moon Exchange Student Team, so Elder Xuan was not here at all, and Xian Lin'er's shouts were undoubtedly in vain.

Xian Lin'er was also a little confused, her mind racing: "Strange, why hasn't Elder Xuan come out yet? Logically speaking, Elder Xuan should have come out to help."

When Zhang Peng noticed that Xuanzi still hadn't come out, a smile gradually appeared on his face: "It seems you're just bluffing. In that case, we won't hold back. Ten Thousand Souls, Hatred, attack together."

"Okay." Wanhun Douluo and Zange Douluo responded in unison.

Although they still had doubts, since Zhang Peng had spoken, they naturally had to act immediately. After all, Zhang Peng was in charge of the attack on Shrek Academy. If they disobeyed Zhang Peng's orders, they would be reprimanded by Zhongli Wu when they returned to the Holy Spirit Cult.

Nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—immediately appeared on the body of the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo. At the same time, a large, jet-black banner also appeared in his hand, with faint purple-black vengeful spirits floating on it. This was his martial soul, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Meanwhile, the Abomination Douluo let out a low roar, and his body rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into a green humanoid monster. He was about twenty meters tall and his waist circumference was also over twenty meters, making him look extremely terrifying. This was his martial soul, Abomination. Now that he had activated his martial soul true form, he was undoubtedly a powerful being.

The two then launched an attack and immediately engaged Yan Shaozhe in battle. This was because Yan Shaozhe's martial soul was the Phoenix of Light, which had a certain suppressive effect on evil soul masters, and Yan Shaozhe was a level 95 Super Douluo.

Therefore, even though the two used the level-nine defensive soul tool temporarily bestowed by Zhongli Wu, they could only hold off Yan Shaozhe and could not defeat him. However, in the process of shaking the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo had already released a large number of vengeful spirits into the outside world. Some of the vengeful spirits were burned to death by the Phoenix Flame, while some of the vengeful spirits burrowed underground, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

However, the situation on the other side was different. As a super Douluo-level evil soul master, Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng's strength was among the top in the Holy Spirit Cult. Moreover, thanks to the level nine defensive soul tool temporarily bestowed by Zhongli Wu and to be taken back later, Xian Lin'er's attacks were greatly weakened. Therefore, Scorpion Tiger Douluo was now forcing Xian Lin'er to retreat steadily.

Xian Lin'er gritted her teeth and tried her best to hold on, partly because she wanted to protect the students, and partly because she didn't want to lose to Yan Shaozhe.

Seeing out of the corner of his eye that Xian Lin'er was about to lose, Yan Shaozhe's emotions were also stirred.

Although he and Cai Meier are now husband and wife, he still can't completely let go of his former lover, Xian Lin'er. If Xian Lin'er hadn't chosen Qian Duoduo back then, perhaps Xian Lin'er would be his wife now.

Beibei saw several sea spirit beast vengeful spirits fly out from the ground. When he sensed the powerful aura of the Soul Douluo level on them, he immediately felt a headache coming on.

Among the students present, there were no Soul Masters. Although Shrek students were quite outstanding and could even fight against ordinary Soul Masters, evil Soul Masters and vengeful spirits were not ordinary beings.

Therefore, the Shrek exchange students faced considerable difficulties when dealing with these spirits.

So he instinctively called for help: "Dean Yan! A vengeful spirit at the Contra Douluo level has appeared."

He didn't want to see so many people die because of evil spirit masters again.

"Hmm, another vengeful spirit?" Yan Shaozhe felt relieved when he realized that the vengeful spirit was still some distance away from Beibei and the others.

With a casual wave of his hand, a large number of flames floated and flew towards the soul beasts and vengeful spirits. These flames were mostly phoenix-shaped and looked extremely beautiful.

But before the flames even reached him, a hint of heartache appeared in the eyes of the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, and he whispered, "Explode!"

Making this decision was difficult for him, as these vengeful spirits were extremely important to his Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but he had no choice but to do so because Zhongli Wu had given the order to assassinate the Shrek exchange students.

Bang bang bang!

The sea spirit beasts exploded one after another, and the dark light engulfed Beibei and the others. When the light dissipated, a large number of severed limbs, mixed with human figures, fell from mid-air to the ground.

A strong smell of blood filled the air.

The ground, which was originally yellowish-brown, was now stained red with blood, and cries of agony filled the air.

"This..." Yan Shaozhe's breath hitched. He immediately flew to the place where the exchange students had fallen and checked on Beibei's condition as soon as possible. When he found that Beibei was only slightly injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Bei Bei is Mu Lao's great-grandson. If he were willing to ask, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department would definitely do everything in its power to create a large number of life-saving soul tools for him. Bei Bei's survival this time was also due to this.

However, the situation of the others was much worse. Yan Shaozhe checked briefly and found seven corpses, while Ye Xiaosheng had lost both legs and a buttock and was on the verge of death.

Ye Xiaosheng's face was as white as paper, and his voice was barely audible: "Dean...it hurts, my butt hurts."

Chapter 275 Ye Xiaosheng's Last Words

Yan Shaozhe's face showed sorrow. He held Ye Xiaosheng's hand, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the other half of Ye Xiaosheng's body was hanging from the tree, dripping blood continuously.

He said, "Xiaosheng, it's normal for your butt to hurt while you're stuck in a tree. I'm not a support or food-type Soul Master, so I can't save you. If you have any last words, please say them as soon as possible, and I will definitely pass them on to the person you want to pass them on to."

Ye Xiaosheng opened his mouth with difficulty, and blood gushed out: "Dean Yan, please tell Dean Qian for me that I am sorry. I learned some advanced soul guidance technology and concepts at Sun Moon Academy, and I should have brought these technologies and concepts back to make the soul guidance system stronger, but now I can't do it."

"Cough cough cough..." He coughed violently a few times, and a large amount of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed from his mouth, making his face even paler.

However, he still looked at Yan Shaozhe with difficulty and said, "Dean Qian has always been very good to me. Of course, when I was in the outer academy, I failed to be selected as a core disciple of the martial soul system because my martial soul was not good enough. I was disheartened and felt that my future was bleak."

"It was Dean Qian who didn't look down on me, recognizing my talent to become an excellent Soul Master. He recruited me into the Soul Guidance Department as a core disciple, which allowed me to gradually enter the Inner Academy and eventually become a Level Six Soul Master. Dean Yan, my storage Soul Guidance Device contains some rare metals I bought at Sun Moon Academy, as well as some Soul Guidance Devices I crafted. I hope you can give it to Dean Qian."

After saying these words, he laboriously raised his right hand, on which was a bright green bracelet with the character "Night" engraved.

This is his storage soul tool.

Yan Shaozhe's eyes were red, his expression was sorrowful, and he choked out, "Xiaosheng, don't worry, I will definitely do what you said."

"Okay...that's good...I'm relieved then..." Ye Xiaosheng forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. Then his eyes gradually lost their light, and his previously raised hand seemed to have lost all its strength, falling heavily to the ground.
