Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, Allows Me to Defy Fate

Chapter 222 Yu Xiaoheng: No Regrets

"Weren't you so tough? Weren't you going to save people?"

"What kind of skill is it to lie there like a dog now?"

Tell me! Do you regret it?!

"You've risked your precious life for these two women, don't you fucking regret it?!"

Rhine's voice echoed in the empty ice cave, trembling.

That was madness born from extreme fear.

The surrounding evil spirit masters were startled by their leader's reaction, but soon, this madness spread among the crowd like a plague.

Beating a drowning dog is always the favorite pastime of these scoundrels.

"The boss is asking you a question! Are you mute?"

"Hehe, it's probably been burned to ashes long ago, right?"

"So this young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is nothing special. His skin is quite tender, but he can't withstand being burned!"

"Regret? If he could speak now, he'd be kneeling down and calling me grandpa by now!"

Laughter and insults rose and fell.

The evil spirit masters brandished their weapons like revelers celebrating a festival, their faces contorted with excitement.

Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi slumped in the corner, closing their eyes in despair.

ended.

everything is over.

however.

Just then.

wow-

A cracking sound came from the pile of rocks.

All voices fell silent.

Rhine's eyes widened suddenly, his pupils contracting sharply.

A hand slowly pushed aside the pile of charred rubble.

Yu Xiaoheng stood up unsteadily.

"hiss……"

Gasps of astonishment rose from the crowd.

Shui Yun'er subconsciously opened her eyes, and after just one glance, tears welled up in her eyes again, and she covered her mouth, unable to make a sound.

It's too awful.

The Yu Xiaoheng before us can no longer be considered a complete person.

Because he didn't activate the Dragon God Possession in time, and there was no soul power protecting him, the clothes on his upper body had completely disappeared.

But the skin that should have been exposed has now taken on an extremely bizarre form.

His upper body resembled a wax figure melted by high temperatures, his originally white, jade-like skin now exhibiting a translucent, gelatinous texture.

Beneath this gelatinous surface, countless golden threads darted about wildly, desperately pulling at the flesh that was on the verge of disintegration.

Between those golden threads, large patches of purple crystals, like parasitic tumors, were deeply embedded in his muscles and bones, shimmering with an eerie luster in the dim light.

That was the product of being forcibly eroded by the divine punishment purple fire.

But he is still alive.

Not only was he alive, but even his pants were still barely intact, only his upper body was in this inhuman state.

Rhine stared at the body, his eyes twitching wildly.

This is impossible!

Under the divine punishment purple flames, all living beings are equal. Even titled Douluo dare not withstand it with their physical bodies. Why is this kid still alive?

On what grounds?!

Rhine was about to roar when his gaze suddenly fixed on Yu Xiaoheng's right arm.

There, unlike the torso, it did not appear to be melted.

in contrast.

His entire right arm was radiating a chilling energy at that moment.

A ring made entirely of purple fire, like a greedy venomous snake, was tightly coiled around his right arm.

The purple fire ring pulsed wildly, trying to penetrate Yu Xiaoheng's body, but was held firmly to the surface of his skin by an even stronger force.

It's not absorption.

It's rejection!

Yu Xiaoheng was trying his best to reject this spirit ring!

Once the soul rings imbued with the power of divine retribution begin to be absorbed, there is no way to stop them.

Yu Xiaoheng had known this long ago based on Yu Changkong's observations.

then……

This coercive force originating from the rules, coupled with Yu Xiaoheng's intense subjective resistance, surprisingly created an extremely delicate balance.

The soul ring formed by the Heavenly Punishment Purple Flame had to adhere even more tightly to Yu Xiaoheng's arm in order to resist his rejection.

Therefore, the absorption of the Heavenly Punishment Soul Ring was temporarily confined to the right arm, hidden by the clothing!

All that nonsense I just rambled on about wasn't meant to express any rubbish sentiments at all.

He's waiting!

Waiting for the absorption of this Heavenly Punishment Soul Ring.

but……

That's suicide!

Even with resistance to divine punishment, it's impossible to directly absorb a divine punishment spirit ring!

Yu Xiaoheng's pretense was meaningless.

Because he... is about to die.

"you……"

Rhine opened his mouth.

His gaze followed the terrifying right arm downwards, finally landing on Yu Xiaoheng's tightly clenched fist.

There, something was being held.

A metal fragment, no bigger than a thumb, gleaming with a cold, silvery-white luster.

In this world filled with purple fire and ice, this touch of silver-white seemed out of place.

But the moment Rhine saw the metal fragment, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

He subconsciously reached out and touched his neck.

It's empty.

The pendant that had been hanging there, which was called "Fragment of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Array" according to the ancient records of the other world, was gone.

Instead, there was a piece of cold-to-the-touch ordinary iron.

The image of Yu Xiaoheng's punch before he was knocked back flashed through Rhine's mind.

original……

So that's when it happened!

"Substituting one beam for another..."

Rhine muttered to himself, his face turning deathly pale.

"You've been plotting against me from the very beginning?"

Yu Xiaoheng ignored Rhein's shock.

He glanced down at the rapidly vaporizing piece of silver metal in his hand.

Yu Xiaoheng's disguise was pointless; he was doomed soon.

No wonder!

Yu Xiaoheng is so afraid of death!

How could someone choose to gamble with their life so recklessly?!

He must make a bet based on reason and evidence!

Only then will I be satisfied!

"Congratulations, you got it right..."

Yu Xiaoheng spoke.

If the jade plaque is made, that would be the best outcome.

If the jade tablet fails, then the eruption of the Heavenly Punishment Purple Flame will be the only chance of survival.

If I get my hands on this fragment, and with my resistance to divine punishment and my own powerful vitality, my success rate should be higher than Rhine's, right?

A Purple Flame Soul Ring of ten thousand years is roughly equivalent to twice the lifespan.

Even after absorbing it, Yu Xiaoheng may still be unable to defeat the Soul Emperor.

However, the 30,000-year spirit ring from the Rainbow Dragon was a perfect match, and it was an upgraded version of the Purple Flame, a Heavenly Punishment Spirit Ring...
