Chapter 230: The Sleeping Dragon Returns
It is not easy to keep a Super Douluo.
Just like when the Sun-Moon Empire attacked the Sky Soul Empire, even though Zhongli Wu's sneak attack was successful, Du Bu Si still escaped.
If Zhongli Wu was determined to escape, Wang Nan alone would not be able to stop him. Moreover, if he was really in a desperate situation, he could even ignite the fire of life in exchange for the power of the Ultimate Douluo.
However, Zhongli Wu did not take the opportunity to detonate the beast spirit to escape from here, but wanted to launch another sneak attack and kill the threat of Wang Nan, the Holy Spirit Church, here.
The power of the Death Demon Puppet can silently attach itself to the enemy, and Zhongli Wu can rely on the special martial spirit to get close to the enemy and attack them when they are not prepared. Countless soul masters have died from this sneak attack.
Therefore, when Zhongli Wu appeared behind Wang Nan, he was already confident of victory. Although detonating the beast spirit would also cause him to suffer backlash and even his cultivation would regress, it would be worth it as long as he could eliminate a major threat to the Holy Church.
It’s a pity that the biggest advantage of a sneak attack is that it takes the opponent by surprise. Once the opponent is prepared, a sneak attack will only lead to your own defeat.
Wang Nan was well aware of Zhongli Wu's methods. When he sensed something unusual, he had already expected that Zhongli Wu would appear behind him.
Although the body's movements were restricted at this moment, the soul power in the body continued to flow. The torso bones behind him lit up, and the golden light penetrated the body to reflect the shape of the spine.
Unmoving as a mountain.
The black sickle in Zhongli Wu's hand was about to pierce into the armor on Wang Nan's back, but the next moment, no matter how hard he exerted his strength, the sickle in his hand could no longer fall.
Wang Nan's ninth soul ring, which had never lit up before, finally shone for the first time.
At first, there were only a few scattered stars that seemed brighter than before. They flickered and jumped around Wang Nan. Then, more and more stars joined in. They gathered together to form a long silver river of light.
Ancient, majestic, arrogant, and with an lingering sadness, the complex atmosphere spread out from Wang Nan as the center, as if another world had been opened up between heaven and earth, with stars floating in the world, or as if a long-sleeping dragon had awakened from the long river of time and was once again roaming the universe.
The ninth soul skill, the sleeping dragon returns to the universe.
This is another area of skill.
The moment the domain unfolded, Zhongli Wu behind Wang Nan could no longer feel the existence of his martial soul and soul power, and the long sickle in his hand also dissipated.
The fifth soul ring around Wang Nan also lit up. Zhongli Wu's body did not move, and he could only watch the golden Panlong stick growing bigger and bigger.
The field attack does not distinguish between friend and foe. Even though Wang Nan has controlled the range, Du Bu Si on the other side was also affected. The soul power in his body suddenly stagnated. For a moment, he was just like an ordinary person.
Du Bu Si's body fell from the air, but his eyes were still fixed on Wang Nan. He watched as a huge golden shadow appeared behind him, holding a long stick high in his hand and smashing it down hard towards Zhongli Wu.
Time seemed to be stretched infinitely, and countless fragments flashed through Zhongli Wu's mind. He had a mutant martial soul, his parents were peerless masters, and he grew up smoothly under the cultivation of the Holy Spirit Church and became the leader of the Holy Spirit Church.
He thought he could continue like this and become a strong person like his parents, but he didn't expect his life to stop here.
Feeling Wang Nan's rising aura and looking at the spirit rings lighting up around him, Zhongli Wu had completely understood that Wang Nan had not lied to him, and was not being stubborn to save face after being ambushed by him, but had really been waiting for his attack for a long time.
He no longer thought about why Wang Nan knew his methods so well, and did not put up any resistance. His martial spirit and soul power were suppressed, and he no longer had any other methods.
The domain unfolded, Zhongli Wu's martial spirit and soul power were suppressed, and the power that bound Wang Nan naturally dissipated. The soul core rotated, the soul power surged, and the spirit and energy merged into one, condensing on the Panlong stick. Turning to face Zhongli Wu, he swung his arms down, and the huge shadow behind him also swung a stick.
Wang Nan released and retracted his ninth soul skill immediately. Du Bu Si in mid-air stabilized his body again, but he could no longer sense Zhongli Wu's breath.
"boom--"
It was not until this moment that a huge roar was heard from here.
……
On another battlefield, on the main peak of Mingdou Mountain Range, Ye Xishui was sitting cross-legged in a tent meditating. Suddenly, his mind moved, he slowly opened his eyes, and walked out of the tent.
The breeze was blowing, the surrounding space was fluctuating, and Long Xiaoyao came and stood beside Ye Xishui.
"What's wrong?" Long Xiaoyao spoke softly as he looked at the densely packed Sun and Moon Empire troops stationed at the foot of the mountain.
"Nothing." Ye Xishui glanced in the direction of the Xingluo Empire, and suddenly a feeling of loss arose in her heart for no reason, but it was as if she had broken free from the shackles that had bound her for many years.
In Mingdu, the lights in the prince's bedroom suddenly came on. Under Juzi's care, Xu Tianran put on the prosthetic leg made of the soul guide and stood up from the bed.
"You're pregnant, so take a good rest. I'll take care of it."
"Yes." The war was stable and Juzi had returned to the palace. After hearing this, she lowered her head and nodded, but she did not look up for a long time until Xu Tianran walked out of the bedroom, then she stood up straight.
"What happened?"
Xu Tianran walked along the corridor towards the study, surrounded by guards in front and behind. Before he even reached the study, he spoke to the person behind him.
Hearing Xu Tianran's low voice, the guard who had just woken up Xu Tianran felt cold. Although Xu Tianran was still handling state affairs as the crown prince, the old emperor was seriously ill, and Xu Tianran's aura was getting stronger day by day, no different from a real emperor.
In addition, Xu Tianran was physically disabled and had an unstable temperament, so the guard was already complaining in his heart. However, since Xu Tianran asked a question, he couldn't help but answer it, so he had to bite the bullet and speak.
"Just now, a battle report came from the front line of the Sky Soul Empire. Three Titled Douluo from the Body Sect broke through the defense line of the imperial army camp and detonated the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide in the camp. The Fire Phoenix Soul Guide Group..."
"Hmph!" A cold snort came from Xu Tianran's nostrils, and the guards on both sides had already kneeled on the ground.
"Where's the phoenix?"
"Fire Phoenix Douluo... was also killed by the leader of the Body Sect, Du Bu Si." The Luanfeng that Xu Tianran mentioned, that is, Fire Phoenix Douluo, was the old woman who faced Du Bu Si head-on.
Hearing the guard's trembling voice, Xu Tianran took a deep breath and said in a much calmer tone, "You all get up. Where's the Imperial Master? Has he come back?"
"Your Highness, after the reinforcements arrived at the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group, they did not see any trace of the Imperial Master. However, according to the surviving soldiers, a major battle broke out in the rear at the same time as the military camp was attacked. I'm afraid the Imperial Master..."
