Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Chapter 165, Subduing the Sect

"Waaaaah"

The nine-tailed fox roared to the sky once more, its hundred-meter-tall body radiating boundless power. Its fiery red fur was ablaze with demonic flames, and its enormous pupils held a captivating power.

If an ordinary person were to make eye contact with a nine-tailed fox, they would instantly be trapped in an endless illusion.

Finally, to everyone's astonishment, the nine-tailed fox actually stepped into the void and flew up into the air, then rushed towards the direction where Feng Gang and Li Mei were.

From their perspective.

A thousand meters above the ground, a fiery red fox, a hundred meters tall and over three hundred meters long from head to tail, runs freely through the air, its nine tails dancing in the wind, each tail radiating an aura that seems to tear the heavens apart.

Upon seeing this, Feng Gang panicked and his body trembled uncontrollably.

He hadn't expected that this nine-tailed fox could actually fly. He glanced at Li Mei beside him, frowned, and in a life-or-death decision, forcefully pried her arms off, decisively abandoned her, and then quickly flew away on his sword.

Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.

"Gang?" Li Mei's eyes went from confusion to shock, and finally to despair.

Her emotions surged and fluctuated, going through several different phases, before finally, her body, under the influence of gravity, plummeted to the ground.

Just then, the nine-tailed fox drifted sideways in the air, stretched out its claws, grabbed her body, opened its blood-red maw, and swallowed her whole.

Inside the Nine-Tailed Fox's space.

This is a space that exists in a state between existence and non-existence. It is a temporary space formed by the fusion of different martial souls. Dong Qing is lying in a corner of the space, pretending to rest.

"That scumbag deserves to die!" Hu Liena's murderous intent surged instantly.

She quickly controlled the nine-tailed fox to chase after Feng Gang. Suddenly, the demonic flames around the nine-tailed fox surged, and its speed more than doubled as it rapidly pursued Feng Gang.

While Hu Liena was controlling the nine-tailed fox, Dong Qing gripped Li Mei's neck tightly with his hand. The terrifying strength made it impossible for her to break free of his arm, no matter how hard she tried to punch or kick.

She is currently inside the Nine-Tailed Fox's space, and all her soul power, soul bones, and soul skills are sealed. Apart from her physical strength, she cannot use any other power.

Just as he was about to crush Li Mei to death, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of her slightly protruding belly.

"Um, excuse me, but before you die, I have a question for you. You already had a child, yet he still abandoned you. Is your man really that heartless?"

Dong Qing suddenly stopped, not out of womanly compassion. He had only asked out of curiosity and had no intention of letting her go. Unfortunately, Li Mei kept crying, and her hot, salty tears soaked his palms.

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena couldn't help but turn around and look. She also discovered that Li Mei was pregnant, which deepened her hatred for the scumbag man even further.

Out of hatred for the house, she even glared fiercely at Dong Qing, her eyes seemingly saying, "If you dare to have such scumbag tendencies, I'll destroy your manhood."

Dong Qing shrugged helplessly, indicating that he would never do such a thing.

Then he looked at the pitiful Li Mei, and out of pity for her, decided to give her a quick death, leaving her with a complete corpse, so that even in hell, she would be a whole person.

Just as Dong Qing stretched out his hand, his palm beginning to gather soul power, preparing to shatter her heart meridian with a single blow.

The female leopard suddenly raised her head, her pupils filled with intense hatred, and calmly said, "Your Highness, do you want the Fire Leopard Sect to submit to you alone?"

She is a direct descendant of the Li family and the biological daughter of the previous sect leader. The current sect leader of the Fire Leopard Sect is merely a puppet installed by the Li family.

That's why she was able to force these unrelated Fire Leopard Sect disciples to join the ranks of those protecting the Feng family.

But Li Mei never expected that her decision to defy everyone in the Li family would ultimately lead to her being cruelly abandoned by her husband.

"Fire Leopard Sect?"

Dong Qing stroked his chin, seemingly pondering whether the Fire Leopard Sect possessed any special value. After all, it was only one of the four lower sects, not a special family like the Min Clan, which possessed unique abilities that ordinary sects did not have.

It seemed that they had noticed what Dongqing was thinking.

To survive, for the sake of her unborn child, and for revenge, Li Mei continued, "Your Highness, the Fire Leopard Sect alone may not interest you, but the Rock Antelope Sect, the Beehive Sect, and our Fire Leopard Sect have a very good relationship."

"If these two sects also follow the Fire Leopard Sect and join His Highness the Holy Son's cause, surely His Highness will no longer look down on our Fire Leopard Sect?"

As she said, with three sects joining Dong Qing's ranks one after another, his power will surely become even greater. At the same time, what is most noteworthy is that the Rock Antelope Sect and the Beehive Sect are both among the future seven major sects, and their strength should not be underestimated.

It's important to understand that the Spirit Hall is a Spirit Master organization, and the Pope is merely the nominal holder of the highest power. Even the Pope of the Spirit Hall cannot command the Title Douluos of the Hall of Worship.

Because all the titled Douluo in these Halls of Worship are private forces loyal to Qian Daoliu and the Qian family.

Moreover, if Dong Qing wants to take over the position of Pope of the Spirit Hall, he will naturally need to establish his own private power; relying solely on the Min clan is not enough.

“I can understand your desire to live, and I can understand that you can bring the Fire Leopard Sect under my command, but what guarantees that the Rock Antelope Sect and the Sparrow Bee Sect will willingly join my ranks?” Dong Qing’s eyes flickered slightly, and he asked in a questioning tone.

Although he was puzzled, Li Mei's actions had at least managed to buy him a chance to live. At least Dong Qing released his grip on her neck and decided to let her continue speaking.

As the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, Dong Qing could force other sects to join his cause, but this was no different from Bibi Dong's Soul Hunting Plan, both of which were acts of antagonizing the entire Douluo Continent.

He really didn't want to do such dirty things unless absolutely necessary, and he didn't like forcing others.

Seeing that Dong Qing was interested, Li Mei tidied her hair, sat cross-legged in front of him, and said, "Of course I want to live. As for how to ensure that the Rock Antelope Sect and the Sparrow Bee Sect join Your Highness's ranks, Your Highness can rest assured. I am good friends with them."

She also had a secret she didn't tell: after Dong Qing wrote the two poems, "Seeing or Not Seeing" and "Dancing Lightly in Pairs," he had already become an object of worship in the hearts of the leaders of these two sects.

Even without Li Mei acting as a go-between, he could have subdued those two sects on his own.

"Is this what a woman's vengeful nature is? It's really a bit terrifying! It seems I should try my best not to offend women in the future. Either eliminate them completely, or don't offend them at all," Dong Qing thought to himself.

Seeing that Dong Qing was still pondering, Li Mei continued, "The most important thing is that Your Highness, you don't necessarily have to kill me, do you? It was the Feng family, not the Li family, that attacked the Martial Soul Branch Hall of Longxing City. I am willing to become Your Highness's follower and completely sever ties with the Feng family and the Feng family."

Chapter 166, Eating Ice Cream

Just then, Hu Liena had already caught up with Feng Gang by controlling the nine-tailed fox. Behind her, the nine tails exuded boundless power. In the blink of an eye, the nine tails multiplied by more than ten times, transforming into super-long tails that were thousands of meters long.

"Boom boom boom"

Like thunder rumbling in the sky, nine tails, each a thousand meters long, danced wildly, while a terrifying storm accompanied him, greatly affecting Feng Gang's flying speed on his sword.

Faced with such a terrible storm, Feng Gang realized that he might not be able to escape. In despair, his eyes became even more ferocious.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Wind Sword Piercing the Sky".

Instantly, all the wind and air around him gathered on the Wind Sword Martial Soul in his hand, its sharpness fully revealed, giving it an aura that could break through everything.

But Feng Gang did this not because he wanted to fight anyone; he just wanted to break through the storm and escape by flying on his sword again.

Upon seeing this, the nine tails, each a thousand meters long, behind the nine-tailed fox suddenly lashed out with lightning speed.

Feng Gang hurriedly tried to dodge on his sword, but unfortunately, all around him was a powerful storm formed by the nine tails of the Nine-Tailed Fox. His sword-riding was already wobbly, making it even more difficult to dodge.

One tail, two tails, three tails... After barely dodging three tails that were a thousand meters long, Feng Gang was finally hit by the fourth tail as it lashed out.

With a loud bang, a deafening sound echoed in the sky. Feng Gang coughed up blood, and was instantly half-dead by the nine-tailed fox's tail.

"Die, you scumbag." It was unclear who Hu Liena was cursing, but under her control, the nine-tailed fox lashed out with several more tails.

Feng Gang, whose own martial soul is a weapon spirit, is inherently inferior to those with beast spirits in terms of physical ability. He simply cannot withstand the immense force carried by those thousand-meter-long tails.

Visibly, his body turned into a rain of blood, exploded in mid-air, and finally turned to ashes and disappeared under the scorching flames of the nine-tailed fox.

......

Nine-Tailed Fox Space.

"He's dead, and you still want to be my follower?"

"Since he abandoned me, his life or death is none of my concern."

"But I find it hard to believe you!"

"Trust? Is that enough?"

Looking at Li Mei kneeling at his feet, gazing up at him, Dong Qing smiled. He gave her a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Interesting! You're a very interesting woman! In that case, I'll reluctantly accept you as my follower."

Thus, Dong Qing now has another agility-type Soul Douluo under his command, as well as the Fire Leopard Sect behind this Soul Douluo. Furthermore, with Li Mei's mediation, he has a high chance of subduing the Rock Antelope Sect and the Sparrow Bee Sect.

As for whether Li Mei is trustworthy?

This is a pointless question. There are not many people in this world who can be trusted. As long as she can be used by you, why bother about whether she is loyal or not?

For a woman like Li Mei, whether her husband lives or dies is not a big deal, especially since Feng Gang eventually abandoned her. As long as he doesn't harm the child in her womb, she basically won't harbor any hatred towards you.

If Li Mei's unborn child were to die today because of the Spirit Hall, Dong Qing would absolutely kill her without hesitation.

Because this kind of woman can never be trusted.

.....

Just as Hu Liena was controlling the Nine-Tailed Fox back to Longxing City, Dong Qing suddenly thought of something very strange: why were all the sects under his command the same type of martial spirit?

The Min Clan is a pure Min lineage sect and the core pillar of his newspaper department. Over the years, thanks to the Min Clan, newspapers have been able to successfully spread to all areas of the mainland.

Li Mei, who is currently under Dong Qing's command, is an elder of the Fire Leopard Sect and the strongest person in the sect. The sect leader is just a puppet, so she can represent the Fire Leopard Sect to announce that she has joined Dong Qing's ranks.

According to Dong Qing's observation, the Fire Leopard Sect's Fire Leopard Martial Soul, even with the word "fire" in it, cannot change the leopard's speed attribute, making it a sect that is definitely an agility-based sect.

Even... the Rock Antelope Sect and the Beehive Sect, these two sects that might voluntarily submit to him under Li Mei's persuasion in the future, seem to be agility-based sects as well.

But now is not the time to think about that; Hu Liena is currently tugging at his ear and scolding him.

"Junior brother, can't you take on at least one male follower? All of you are women, are you planning to ascend to heaven?" Hu Liena was furious.

Good heavens, not long ago they took in Zhu Zhuyun, and now another woman from the Fire Leopard Sect has come along, and they've even managed to bring the Fire Leopard Sect under their control.

She wasn't jealous; followers were just followers, underlings. It was just that she felt Dong Qing's forces were too female-dominated, all of them women.

This is like a war legion composed entirely of women, which feels extremely strange to Hu Liena.

"Senior sister, you've misunderstood. I just..." Before Dong Qing could finish speaking, Hu Liena had already covered his mouth with hers, and he could only taste the ice cream she offered.

The sweet taste is so delightful that you'll want to linger.

On the other side, Li Mei stood obediently to the side, her eyes lowered, not looking around much. She just wanted to do her job well.

Longxing City, the Feng family.

"In order to pay tribute to the souls of the 577 deacons of the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Longxing City, everyone in the Feng family who exceeds the size of a cartwheel will be executed!" Zhu Zhuqing shouted loudly.

She wore a light red, fitted women's armor, held a crescent-shaped short blade, rode a tall horse, and wore a purple-gold crown, looking exceptionally heroic and dashing.

No sooner had he finished speaking than five thousand cavalrymen under Dong Qing's command swarmed in on horseback, barging into the Feng family's residence with utter arrogance. They were cold and ruthless, drawing their scimitars and beginning to massacre the Feng family.

As for the five thousand cavalry under Hu Liena's command, although they did not move an inch, they still firmly surrounded the Feng family, and absolutely no one could escape.

Seeing Zhu Zhuyun's envious expression, she knew that this was a special power granted to Zhu Zhuqing by Dongqing, and she also seemed to want this power to command thousands of cavalry.

It's important to understand that even the Empress of the Star Luo Empire doesn't possess military power, while those who serve under Dong Qing wield substantial military authority.

It is clear that this so-called follower status was not something worthless, but a truly noble status, in no way inferior to the aristocratic status of the two great empires.
