Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 178

The fastest route from the Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire is not via the official road, but by passing through the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although Zhao Zhong's strength has not fully recovered, as long as he doesn't set foot in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, he is still confident that he can protect everyone, not to mention that there is also the extremely powerful Shen An there.

The two carriages entered the forest, surrounded by all sorts of wondrous sights. Ye Lingling suddenly lifted the curtains on both sides of the carriage and looked towards the northeast.

That was the place where they were attacked by evil spirit masters, and a soul saint died because of it. If they hadn't met Shen An, Zhao Zhong's life would have been in danger.

'Aunt Xuan, I will avenge you,' Ye Lingling murmured softly to herself.

She didn't want to ask Shen An for help. This kind of thing was risky, and how could she ask Shen An, who had helped her so much, for help?

As the carriage moved forward, the shadows in the woods grew deeper, and darkness fell.

In the secluded distance, Zhu Can, after six days of recuperation, appeared to be fine except for being slightly weak.

You Li snorted lightly: "In order to help you recover your combat strength as soon as possible, you have drained a lot of my supplies. Remember, I'm going to take the lion's share of Shen An's flesh and blood."

Zhu Can's eyes were sinister: "Alright, proceed according to plan. Except for the Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, everyone else must be silenced. We must not let a word of this slip out."

"Let's go together, hahaha, let fear spread to these poor wastes." You Li let out a chilling laugh, he enjoyed bringing fear and despair to others.

At his command, three humanoid creatures hidden in the darkness headed towards Shen An.

.........

"Something's not right, everyone be careful, I sensed that person's aura." Zhao Zhong said with a grim expression. This evil spirit master is truly persistent.

Shen An raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling as if the other party was deliberately releasing their aura.

Whoosh whoosh!

Arrows, like locusts, swarmed through the night sky, tearing at the two carriages.

"Roar!"

Zhao Zhong burst through the carriage, his eight spirit rings radiating brilliant light in the darkness. His third spirit ring lit up, and a fiery red beam of light shot from his mouth, blocking the barrage of arrows.

At this moment, Zhao Zhong's already strong body swelled even more, and his sideburns grew wildly, making him look like a male lion.

In Contra's eyes, there was no difference between day and night, and he quickly found three dark figures moving in the distance.

Just as he was hesitating whether to give chase, a voice reached his ears. He saw his figure move, his body engulfed in flames, and he fiercely pursued the enemy.

Looking at Zhao Zhong rushing towards him, You Li's gaze sharpened; he was still alive.

Zhu Can, on the contrary, looked delighted and whispered, "It's perfect to devour him. Not only will I be able to recover to my full strength, but I will also be even stronger."

You Li nodded silently. Shen An was already difficult to deal with, and if another Soul Douluo came along, the two of them would probably be doomed.

Fortunately, they were already prepared to outmaneuver each other, and as they spoke, their presence became even more discreet, as if they had completely blended into the darkness.

The three figures had stopped. Zhao Zhong said in a deep voice, "Surrender. You can't escape."

What he didn't notice was that behind him, the shadow coalesced into a massive body with protruding fangs, slowly approaching Zhao Zhong.

Zhu Can was overjoyed. He had never eaten a Soul Master of the Soul Douluo level before. His experience points would surely increase dramatically.

Zhao Zhong opened his gaping maw, unleashing his evil power, and turned around abruptly when he sensed the fluctuations behind him.

Zhu Can sneered inwardly, "Too late!"

"Don't be afraid, dizziness is normal."

A clear voice suddenly rang out, but to Zhu Can it was so chilling, as if he had fallen into a cold cave.

Zhu Can turned his head stiffly, and a fist radiating a jade color grew larger and larger in his eyes.

Before he fainted, he had only one thought in his mind.

No, this voice is so scary! Aren't I the villain?

Chapter 280 Stopping the fight between cat and mouse should be simple, right?

Boom!!

With a deafening roar that sent chills down one's spine, Zhu Can's massive body fell stiffly to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Even someone as skilled at ambushing as You Li couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

It was just a faint heartbeat, but it terrified You Li, a cult master who spent years licking blood from the edge of a knife and rolling in piles of corpses, to the point that he almost lost his soul.

Damn it, even though it was a close-range punch, not to mention the stealth technique that was even more advanced than theirs, it's unreasonable that a single punch could knock out a Soul Douluo!

'That damned Zhu Can, he deserved to die. Did you think we could afford to provoke someone with such formidable combat power?'

While cursing under his breath, You Li silently activated his hidden martial spirit and evil skills, suppressing his aura to nothingness.

You can't show your face, or you'll be instantly killed.

As for the three puppets, although it pained me, I could only treat them as expendable pawns.

Zhao Zhong was still shaken. His attention was entirely on the three people, and he didn't even notice a master of the same level behind him.

If the opponent suddenly attacks, you will be seriously injured even if you don't die.

However, despite overestimating Shen An's combat strength again, believing that the opponent was comparable to the strong in Contra, he still underestimated him.

One punch and he's done a Soul Douluo! Even the once mighty Haotian Douluo, who dominated the continent, wasn't as powerful as Shen An during his Soul Douluo era.

Zhao Zhong looked at Shen An with gratitude, and was about to thank him when he heard...

"Senior Zhao, let's deal with these three over there first; they don't seem to be alive."

Zhao Zhong nodded in agreement, and then saw Shen An's right foot emit boundless blue light. With a light stomp, Zhu Can, who was lying on the ground, didn't even have time to scream before his head was pulverized.

And the headless corpse didn't bleed at all.

Zhao Zhong exhaled a breath of solid white air, and then flames erupted from his body as he pounced like a lion, his momentum fierce and unstoppable.

The three dark figures rose up with a total of nineteen soul rings; they were two Soul Emperors and one Soul Saint.

However, the color of those spirit rings was mostly black, not the color of ten-thousand-year spirit rings, but a deathly black.

The Soul Saint spread his wings, which emanated deathly energy, and flew into the sky, the feathers falling like sharp blades.

Two Soul Emperors, one erected a rock-like fortress, the other kept his distance and fired a bow.

Swish swish!

Neither the fortress nor the arrows caught Zhao Zhong's eye, but the feathers alone caused his expression to change drastically.

It's not that they're too strong, but rather that they're too familiar with them.

His fifth spirit ring lit up, and a lion's head formed from raging fire first blasted through the rock fortress, then broke through arrows and feathers, heading straight for the spirit saint in the sky.

The slender Soul Saint in the air used his enormous wings to protect himself, and the Turbid Evil Shield blocked the attack.

'Please, please don't let it be you.'

A terrifying thought arose in Zhao Zhong's mind. He gritted his teeth, squatted slightly, and suddenly leaped up, the powerful force causing the surrounding land to collapse.

Being merely a Soul Saint is naturally no match for a Soul Douluo, especially since the opponent's movements appear extremely sluggish and devoid of any spirit.

The wings were blasted open, and Zhao Zhong's thick arms snatched the black cloth from the Soul Saint's face without hesitation.

A pair of eyes filled with resentment, and a face covered in bloodstains, came into his view.

"Ah Xuan!" Zhao Zhong exclaimed in disbelief, before being knocked to the ground.

Shen An's gaze shifted as if drawn in.

You Li, who had been observing Shen An out of the corner of his eye, instantly sensed this rare opportunity and activated his martial spirit without hesitation.

Seventh Soul Skill: Azure Bat True Form!

Sixth Soul Skill: Bat Shadow Shuttle!

The lurking shadows suddenly transformed into a blue-winged bat, darting through the darkness at incredible speed and flying into the distance, leaving no time to react.

"I've succeeded! I've escaped! Hahahaha!" You Li was overjoyed, but he still mustered all his strength and flew forward without looking back.

"Kid, fortunes change every thirty years. When I become a Title Douluo, I'll definitely taste your saltiness." You Li, who thought he had escaped, had already begun to have wonderful fantasies.

Swish swish! ! !

A sword radiating a blue light stood directly in front of him, its crystal-clear blade a masterpiece of art.

You Li's expression changed drastically. This was no real sword; it was clearly composed of endless sword energy.

Without a word, as he flapped his wings, You Li turned and ran, but a long sword blocked his way.

East, west, south, north, and in all directions, terrifying longswords appeared in an instant, their sword energies echoing each other to form an unparalleled azure light curtain.

"Roar!"

You Li roared and flew straight into the sky again. Just when he thought he could escape with his flying ability, a long boot stomped down heavily.

"Trying to escape? I've been watching you for a long time." Shen An stomped his foot down as if he were stepping on an ant.

You Li, who had been trampled to the ground, was filled with rage. He was a Soul Douluo, but the kid in front of him didn't take him seriously at all, which made him furious.

"You dare insult me? Aren't you afraid I'll fight you to the death?" You Li threatened, his words a mix of bravado and cowardice, as all eight of his spirit rings flashed, displaying his power.

"The fish will die, but the net will not break. How dare you, a rat in the gutter, speak so arrogantly? You should just die."

"I'll fucking fight you to the death!!!"

Jerry, who was with Ye Lingling in the distance, suddenly yawned for no apparent reason. Was someone cursing at him?

Tom, sitting opposite, silently took out a towel to wipe the saliva off his face, then took a big gulp of water.

"puff!"

Jerry was now soaking wet, and he glared at Tom with his beady eyes.

'How dare this brat deceive me!'

Ye Lingling looked at the cat and mouse fighting each other with a worried expression. The enemy is still here, why are you fighting each other?

The two little ones fought from inside the carriage to outside, almost forming a phantom.

"Stop fighting!" Ye Lingling tried to stop them, but it was clearly to no avail.

Song Ming and Ji Qing, who were cautiously observing their surroundings from another carriage, also rushed out upon hearing the noise.

Then they saw the cat and mouse fighting, exchanged a smile, and realized that while they might not be of much help in fighting the evil spirit master, separating a cat and a mouse would be a piece of cake.

"You forced me to this, Bloodlust!!!"

With a loud shout, You Li's body, now in his Martial Soul True Form state, grew even taller, and a dense aura of blood emanated from his body, forming a strange mist.

His aura surged once more, and in Shen An's eyes, it was already approaching the cultivation level of the previous Black Tiger Sect Master, who was at level eighty-nine.

His dark green eyes grew even more sinister; this Blood Burning Technique wasn't something to be used lightly.

Using it would not only cause a significant decline in cultivation level, but also shorten one's lifespan, a price that truly pained him to the core.

"You're dead! I'm going to kill you! You're definitely going to die!" Youli shouted maniacally, like a mad dog that had lost its mind.

Even Zhao Zhong, who had just crushed two Soul Emperors to ashes in the distance, couldn't help but turn his head to look over; the aura was simply too astonishing.

But the next moment, he instinctively turned his head to dodge, and it was that Soul Saint named Xuan again.

Zhao Zhong's eyes were filled with sorrow and his heart was bitter. He had realized that his old friend had been controlled and turned into a puppet by someone using evil means.

Even so, how could he bring himself to do it?

Shen An watched with great interest. A life-draining secret technique, huh? Interesting, but that's far from enough.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Bats Devour the Body!" You Li shouted suddenly.

Almost instantly, he transformed into a dense swarm of bats, which scattered and flew away in all directions with lightning speed.

Each bat is as fast as a Contra-type agility-based character.

'Escape! I must escape! With my bat swarm incarnation, if even one of them can escape, I will live! I will definitely rise again!'

You Li roared inwardly. As for Shen An's so-called insult?

Just kidding, what kind of burden do evil spirit masters have with their strength? They all wish they could spend their whole lives bullying the weak and devouring the vulnerable.

Shen An...

Goodness, he looks crazier than anyone else, but he's actually the most clear-headed.

"Trying to escape? Fine, I'm not playing with you anymore. Go to hell."
