Chapter 225: Transaction with Soul Beast
When Sleepy Nightmare Douluo died in Jialing Pass, the Holy Spirit Church only knew that he had never returned and guessed that he had died, but they didn't know who had done it.
But Ming Lei and Youming Douluo died in the territory of the Sun-Moon Empire, not far from the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult in the Demon Forest.
Although the bodies of the two had been burned, the traces left at the scene could not be easily erased. Such a loud noise was still noticed by some people from a distance.
Wang Nan's name had been mentioned more than once in the Holy Spirit Church. Therefore, when Nangong Wan saw the Panlong Stick falling on him, he already knew who he was facing.
Although the Sun-Moon Empire occupied most of the territory of the Sky Soul Empire, for a Titled Douluo, it only took a little effort to bypass their defenses. Then, under the induction of Tianye Fushenglong, Wang Nan soon "accidentally met" Nangong Wan who was on his way.
Although he was knocked down from the air by Wang Nan's stick, Nangong Wan was a Titled Douluo after all. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the ground, he finally endured the discomfort in his body and circulated his soul power.
Nangong Wan's body fell rapidly, creating a deep pit on the ground. For a moment, smoke and dust rose up, blocking the view inside the pit.
The spreading yellowish-brown dust quickly turned into dark green. A breeze blew up from somewhere, and the dark green smoke instantly flew towards Wang Nan.
Wang Nan was falling from mid-air chasing Nangong Wan. Before he got close, he saw the rising dark green poisonous fog. His mind moved, and his first soul ring lit up. His figure instantly exploded out, and two dark green shadows emerged from the fog, brushing past Wang Nan's body and rushing into the air.
The attack missed, and the two dark green shadows turned back like vines.
Wang Nan simply placed the Panlong Stick across his waist, swept it half a circle, and his soul core rotated. His mental power, blood power, and soul power were perfectly integrated. When the force reached the tip of the stick, tremendous power swept out, not only shattering the two rays of light and shadows, but also the surrounding poisonous fog became much lighter under the attack.
Nangong Wan finally reappeared in the poisonous fog. However, he was no longer human at this time. His figure became extremely huge, and a dark green centipede gradually became clear in the poisonous fog.
He had heard of Wang Nan's name. Even Ming Lei and Nether Douluo were defeated by Wang Nan. Naturally, he did not dare to be careless and used his martial soul's true body as soon as he made a move.
Looking at Wang Nan, who was glowing with golden light in front of him, Nangong Wan's gaze lingered on the Panlong Stick for a moment.
"The biggest mistake the Holy Church made was not taking you away sooner, allowing you to grow to this point." The voice of Nangong Wan came out of the centipede's mouth, "It's a pity that the Holy Church knew the secret of the Coiled Dragon Stick too late."
As he spoke, the color of Nangong Wan's body became darker and darker. The huge centipede turned almost entirely black. Its body stood tall, and a foul-smelling poisonous mist spread from its side.
The inky black ninth soul ring lit up, poisonous fog spread, and the space around it seemed to be corroded and cracks appeared, as if it could not bear the weight, and the whole body suddenly became tattered.
However, the next moment, the shattered space continued to spread towards Wang Nan, but Nangong Wan himself turned around and fled away.
Nangong Wan is still the same Nangong Wan. Facing an opponent like Wang Nan, he never thought about defeating Wang Nan from the beginning, and he didn't even think about fighting him head-on.
Whether it was his martial soul's true body or his ninth soul skill, he had always been looking for a chance to escape. Seeing the poisonous fog of the ninth soul skill covering Wang Nan, he took this opportunity to escape.
Wang Nan's expression remained unchanged, only the fifth soul ring beside him lit up with a dark golden light. He pointed the Panlong Stick forward, and the giant dragon coiled on the stick instantly left the stick and continued to fly forward.
The attack of the fifth soul skill came in an instant. Nangong Wan only heard a dragon roar behind him. As soon as he turned around, he was enveloped by a golden light. The ninth soul ring that was still emitting light was extinguished instantly, and the soul power of his whole body stagnated at this moment. The poisonous fog surrounding Wang Nan had lost control. Without the support of soul skills, Wang Nan moved away from the original place.
The huge Panlong Stick seemed to come from the sky and landed on Nangong Wan's body. His body fell to the ground again, but this time he could no longer use his soul power to offset the impact. The huge centipede fell firmly to the ground and disappeared.
Nangong Wan was about to get up from the ground while spitting out blood. As soon as he raised his head, he saw a golden Panlong stick pointing directly at his forehead.
"You just mentioned the secret of the Panlong Stick. How did you know it?"
"I said, can you let me go?" Hearing Wang Nan's voice, Nangong Wan didn't get up, just fell to the ground, "Although I am a member of the Holy Spirit Church, I don't usually do too many bad things."
"And I can act as an undercover agent for you. I can tell you everything the Holy Spirit has taught me. I will pass on any news in the church for you in the future."
"Please answer my question first." Wang Nan did not comment.
"Yes, yes. Some time ago, the Sun Moon Empire captured some children in Tiandou City. Some of these children's abilities were very restrained against the Holy Church, no, no, against the Holy Spirit Church. Later, after our interrogation, they learned about the Panlong Stick."
"Where are the kids?"
Hearing Wang Nan's words, Nangong Wan's mind raced. Wang Nan's martial spirit was also the Panlong Stick, and he happened to appear in the territory of the Tianhun Empire. He was probably here for those children. He knew that those children were in danger, but if he told the truth at this time, he was afraid that he would not survive.
"After the interrogation, the children were transported to Dongyang City." Before Wang Nan could ask, Nangong Wan took the initiative to speak, "We have an agreement with the soul beasts in the sea. They keep attacking the city and causing casualties. We will collect the souls and blood food of humans and soul beasts and offer them as sacrifices to the soul beasts."
"Sacrifice to the soul beast?"
"Yes, yes, it is a huge soul beast that is very similar to a whale. We discovered it a few years ago. It has serious old wounds on its body. If not for this, I'm afraid the leader would not be its opponent."
"Our leader was impressed by its fighting ability and used blood sacrifice to heal its wounds in exchange for its service to the Holy Spirit Church."
A whale-shaped soul beast. When Nangong Wan mentioned it, Wang Nan quickly remembered the soul beast he had seen on the bottom of the sea when he was practicing in the ice sea.
Seeing Wang Nan silent, Nangong Wan's eyes flickered and he spoke again, "Those children might still be alive. I was originally going to Dongyang City to deliver sacrifices. As long as you let me go, I can get information for you."
Wang Nan stared at Nangong Wan, and slowly withdrew his right hand holding the Panlong Stick. Just when Nangong Wan was rejoicing that he was able to save his life, the golden Panlong Stick suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, a crisp sound was heard, and he lost consciousness again.
