SL—Chapter 171: One Sword Clears the Field, Everyone Stands Up
The Big Dipper formation position, emerging from the star curtain, shifted according to Ling Qianyao's will, placing the seven Shrek individuals atop the seven-star positions.
Ling Qianyao's figure immediately vanished from the spot.
The entire world seemed to have a pause button pressed in an instant, and time solidified.
As Ling Qianyao softly spoke, star ring chains simultaneously appeared beneath the feet of the seven, and seven star trails shot out from Ling Qianyao's palm, piercing through the seven-star positions.
"Bang bang bang—" Bursts of explosive sounds erupted from where the Shrek Seven Devils were located.
Starlight, like thousands of meteors streaking across the sky, carrying Ling Qianyao's supreme Sword Intent, poured down towards the seven.
Every ray of starlight contained the destructive power of the stars; the moment they touched the Shrek Seven Devils' protective Soul Power, they erupted with dazzling radiance.
The seven's defenses, under the impact of the starlight, were as fragile as thin paper and were instantly torn to shreds.
Amidst the flying dust, the Shrek Seven Devils were all defeated, lying on the ground moaning in pain, completely without the strength to fight again.
Of course, Ling Qianyao still held back a little for Ning Rongrong, not inflicting such great damage on her.
The star curtain dissipated, and Ling Qianyao stood holding his sword, his clothes fluttering, starlight flowing around him, thousands of stars rising and falling, making him appear extraordinary and transcendent.
Clearing the field with one sword.
"Pfft—"
Tang San lay on the ground, violently spitting out a mouthful of blood, struggling to lift his head, his eyes filled with horror and unwillingness, looking at Ling Qianyao, who stood like a deity, his voice hoarse, "How could..."
His pupils suddenly contracted again, looking at the Soul Rings surrounding Ling Qianyao's body in disbelief.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, an unconventional soul ring configuration appeared before everyone's eyes, and that black fourth soul ring was so dazzling!
"A ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring? How is this possible!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened, the shock on his face beyond measure.
'Impossible, how could my theory, the Spirit Hall's records, be wrong? Whale rubber couldn't possibly achieve this either, how is it possible, how is it possible…'
Flender, Liu Erlong, and the others also stood frozen in place, their mouths slightly open, momentarily forgetting to help the Shrek students.
In the shadows, Tang Hao narrowed his eyes, a cold light flickering within them.
"A ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring, indeed, no wonder his fourth Soul Skill's strength far surpasses ordinary fourth Soul Skills, capable of transformation, and possessing such power."
"Hmph, that purple soul ring before, it seems it was just a disguise. With Dugu Bo protecting him in Heaven Dou City, did he finally let loose?"
"What a Ling Qianyao, this child has deep thoughts. If he becomes enemies with Xiao San, he will be a great adversary in the future."
"However, since he is not from the Spirit Hall but from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, then there is still meaning in his existence."
"Xiao San's disposition has become somewhat fragile recently. It's just right to use this guy as a whetstone. Once Xiao San can add a soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer and his strength greatly increases, this experience will become the most precious wealth on his path to growth."
"Ling Qianyao, Star Breaking Sword, hmph, before the Clear Sky Hammer, what does it matter even if you have a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring?"
"The Clear Sky Hammer is the number one Weapon martial soul in the world. Once Xiao San, with his twin martial souls, adds a soul ring to it, his strength will surely undergo a qualitative leap."
"By then, you, Ling Qianyao, will merely be a stepping stone on his path to growth. How could my son, Tang San, lose to anyone else?"
Ling Qianyao withdrew his martial soul and Soul Rings, sighing inwardly that it was a pity. Tang Hao, in the shadows, apparently had no intention of attacking him.
Astrology showed no ill omens.
If Tang Hao were to attack him now and expose himself, with Golden Crocodile Douluo and other Title Douluo present, it would be possible for him to fall prematurely.
This guy is truly confident in the Clear Sky Hammer, arrogant beyond limits.
"This is impossible!"
Yu Xiaogang shouted furiously, "How can anyone in this world obtain a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring? This completely defies common sense!"
"Ling Qianyao, you must have used some unspeakable means! You obtained this soul ring by relying on evil methods and the techniques of fallen Soul Masters. You will surely pay a heavy price for this evil path!"
His face flushed red, veins bulged on his neck, and his hands flailed wildly in the air.
Dugu Bo sneered, "Then what about this old man's martial soul evolution? Qianyao and they achieved such a transformation with the help of immortal herbs. How could that be accomplished by the kind of unspeakable evil methods you speak of?"
"If you're weak, practice more. All that's left of you is a stubborn mouth. Are you going to talk about pulling up seedlings to help them grow next? You brain-damaged thing."
Yu Xiaogang's words choked; he had indeed wanted to say that.
Tang San's eyes, however, flickered with a sharp light. Immortal herbs?
Recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, they are immortal spiritual items existing in the three great treasure basins.
No wonder, no wonder those rare heavenly treasures could bring such great improvement and change to Ling Qianyao and Dugu Yan.
These guys don't know the names of the immortal herbs, yet they can obtain this opportunity. It's simply a waste of heavenly resources!
He, Tang San, possesses the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and knows the origins and usage methods of those immortal herbs. He should be the one to obtain these things!
Tang San felt indignant in his heart, his eyes filled with jealousy and unwillingness. If only he hadn't listened to Teacher back then, if only he had come directly to Heaven Dou Imperial City after meeting the graduation requirements at Nuoding Academy, perhaps he could have befriended Dugu Bo earlier and obtained this opportunity!
This guy was rumored to be covered in poison gas, with green hair and a withered face, but now he was full of vigor with black hair.
Thinking about it, he must have had a condition similar to poisoning before. With his Tang Sect's poisoning methods, he could completely use the excuse of treating poison to obtain the immortal herbs in his medicinal garden!
The more Tang San thought about it, the angrier he became. Possessing knowledge, yet only being able to watch immortal herbs fall into others' hands, how was this different from having them snatched directly from his own hands?
He only felt as if a giant rock was pressing heavily on his chest, suffocating him, and a sweet, metallic taste surged up his throat. He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ling Qianyao, you have already found a path to death...
Right! Where is Xiao Wu?
Anxiety flashed in Tang San's eyes. After cursing Ling Qianyao in his heart for stealing his opportunity and complaining about his current situation multiple times, he finally remembered Xiao Wu.
He looked around frantically and saw that Liu Erlong had already held the unconscious Xiao Wu in her arms.
Her eyes were bleeding, two shocking streaks of blood snaked down from the corners of her eyes, her lips were currently bloodless, and she was moaning in pain, as if she had seen something terrifying, her entire body trembling.
Seeing Xiao Wu's tragic state, Tang San felt as if his heart was being twisted by a knife. A surge of anger instantly rushed to his head, and his rationality was instantly swallowed by fury.
His eyes were bloodshot, staring intently at Ling Qianyao. The next moment, he placed his heavy hand on the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.
His sleeve pointed at Ling Qianyao.
"Whoosh—"
The Godly Zhuge Crossbow and the Silent Sleeve Arrows were activated by him simultaneously.
"Xiao San, no!" Flender, who was walking towards him, was instantly greatly alarmed.
"Seeking death!"
Dugu Bo let out a cold snort. The pressure from a Title Douluo directly pressed those Hidden Weapons into the ground, and Tang San himself was directly face down, embedded in the surface.
Flender and Liu Erlong activated their martial soul, struggling to bear this immense pressure, and gritted their teeth, saying, "Xiao San, quickly apologize."
Even so, he was still muttering in a muffled voice, "My Teacher was humiliated, Xiao Wu was harmed. If I, Tang San, don't avenge this, how can I be content? I'm not wrong!"
What stood out was his purity and unwillingness to bow down to the so-called "evil forces".
