Chapter 310: Kong Deming: The Dragon God Douluo… How Is He This Weak?
Now, he not only intended to take Zhang Lexuan home but also to make Shrek pay a bloody price!
She was his only blood relative, yet she had suffered such injustice.
As her grandfather, he was the only one who could stand up for her now!
His poor granddaughter was deceived by the scheming old fox Mu En all this time, willingly serving as a loyal dog for the very people who had destroyed her family.
"Who are you? How dare you invade Shrek! Leave immediately, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Xuan Zi stood in midair, his Taotie True Body manifesting behind him as he barely managed to withstand Kong Deming's casual attack.
But the reckless Xuan Zi didn't care in the slightest about Kong Deming's formidable strength.
All that filled his mind was the need to defend Shrek's honor to the death.
Even if it cost him his life!
"Me? Just a lonely old man who has come seeking revenge."
"Bring out that Dragon God Douluo of yours. Otherwise, I'll flatten Shrek today."
Kong Deming's furious roar resounded across the entire sky above Shrek.
Behind him, a host of high-level soul cannons stood ready, prepared to unleash their shells at any moment.
That wasn't all. Ten li away from Shrek Academy, he had also installed several level nine fixed soul-guided artillery shells.
Once those level nine fixed soul-guided artillery shells came down, Kong Deming dared to guarantee that even a Limit Douluo wouldn't be able to protect Shrek Academy.
To reclaim Zhang Lexuan and take revenge on Shrek, Kong Deming had nearly lost his mind.
"I've come."
"May I ask why you have come to my Shrek Academy?"
Mu En's voice rang out.
His hunched figure slowly emerged from the Ancient Golden Tree, supported by Zhang Lexuan.
At this moment, he still radiated the aura of a Limit Douluo.
But in truth, Mu En's soul power was only at Rank 98. He was merely borrowing the power of the Ancient Golden Tree.
He was simply relying on its might to bluff.
Kong Deming looked at Zhang Lexuan, who had followed Mu En out, and his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
"Good granddaughter, I've come to take you home."
Suppressing his emotions, Kong Deming turned his vicious gaze toward Mu En.
"I want to take Zhang Lexuan!"
The moment those words were spoken, Mu En's heart sank.
What the hell? He had only just finished transferring his cultivation to Shrek's successor, and now this man wanted to take her away.
Did he have no manners at all?
"Absolutely not! Lexuan is one of our people. Even if I have to stake everything I have, I will never let you take her!"
Zhang Lexuan was now the designated successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master.
At a time like this, if Mu En were still timid enough to let Kong Deming take her away, then Shrek might as well have everyone commit suicide together.
That would truly make Shrek utterly useless!
"Stake everything you have? Fine!"
"Today, I, Kong Deming, will make sure Shrek has nothing left!"
With that, Kong Deming stopped hesitating and controlled one soul-guided shell after another, sending them crashing toward Shrek.
At the same time, he began charging the Silvermoon Divine Light Shield, preparing to unleash a small-scale Silvermoon Divine Light Wave against Shrek.
However, because Zhang Lexuan was present, Kong Deming didn't go too far.
He didn't activate the level nine soul-guided shells ten li away.
Nor did he use the large-scale Silvermoon Divine Light Wave.
The deaths of Shrek's people were insignificant. But if his precious granddaughter were accidentally injured, that would break his heart.
One high-level soul-guided shell after another descended, and the elders of the Sea God Pavilion hurriedly intervened to block them.
The soul-guided shells were still manageable, but the Silvermoon Divine Light Wave that Kong Deming was charging was another matter entirely.
The large-scale Silvermoon Divine Light Wave was an attack that transcended the soul master realm, already reaching the level of a god.
However, firing it consumed an astronomical amount of resources.
The small-scale Silvermoon Divine Light Wave was comparable to the full-power strike of an ordinary Limit Douluo, while its resource consumption remained within Kong Deming's means.
When the Silvermoon Divine Light Wave was fired, Mu En, once a Limit Douluo himself, naturally saw its might clearly.
"This is bad. Shrek's trump cards are almost all exhausted."
"Ancestors, please help Shrek overcome this calamity once more."
Mu En shouted and borrowed the power of Shrek's ancestors residing within the Ancient Golden Tree.
Before every Sea God Pavilion Master died, they would merge themselves into the Ancient Golden Tree.
Over the past ten thousand years, more than a hundred Sea God Pavilion Masters had contributed everything they possessed to the Ancient Golden Tree.
Although most of their power had been absorbed by the tree, a portion still remained, serving as a means of protecting Shrek.
A wall of light appeared above Shrek Academy, blocking the Silvermoon Divine Light Wave fired by Kong Deming.
But the shockwaves generated by the collision still reduced the entire inner courtyard area below to ruins.
Seeing that Shrek Academy had blocked his attack, Kong Deming narrowed his eyes.
"Spatial Imprisonment Barrier!"
A massive spatial rift appeared, its target pointed directly at Mu En.
Mu En had already sensed it, but with his realm having fallen, he was unable to react in time.
He was directly swallowed by the space opened within the Silvermoon Divine Light Shield.
Seeing this, Kong Deming was puzzled.
"This Dragon God Douluo… How is he this weak?"
It wasn't that he looked down on Mu En. In fact, he felt that Mu En was even easier to deal with than the disheveled Xuan Zi in the distance.
"Old Mu!"
The elders of the Sea God Pavilion panicked the moment they saw Mu En swallowed by the space created by the Silvermoon Divine Light Shield.
They frantically attacked Kong Deming, wanting to rescue Mu En.
"Hmph. A moth trying to shake a tree. Anyone who hasn't reached the Limit Douluo realm is nothing but an ant before me!"
Kong Deming didn't take the Sea God Pavilion's elders seriously at all.
Just as he was about to teach these ignorant Shrek fools a lesson—
Zhang Lexuan, who had just finished condensing her first soul core, made her move.
She summoned her Martial Soul True Body and launched a soul skill toward Kong Deming.
But before a Level 10 Soul Engineer, Zhang Lexuan's attack had no killing power whatsoever.
"Child, I have no intention of hurting you. I'm your family."
"Come home with me, child."
Kong Deming effortlessly stopped Zhang Lexuan and spoke with a smile.
"Family? I don't have…"
Zhang Lexuan had just begun to refute him when Kong Deming summoned his own Martial Soul True Body as well.
At the same time, Kong Deming employed a secret technique of his clan to resonate with Zhang Lexuan's martial soul.
In an instant, the bloodline within Zhang Lexuan's body began to boil.
"This… What is happening? Are you really my family?"
This scene completely shattered Zhang Lexuan's understanding of everything.
The reaction of their bloodlines and martial souls could not be faked.
The burly old man before her really was a blood relative of hers.
"Yes. To be precise, I'm your grandfather."
Kong Deming revealed his identity.
"Then… Can you stop? Shrek Academy has shown me kindness."
After acknowledging her relationship with Kong Deming, Zhang Lexuan pleaded with him.
"Child, don't let Shrek Academy deceive you."
"The destruction of the Zhang Clan back then was orchestrated by that Dragon God Douluo, Mu En, himself."
"I came here today not only to take you back to your rightful family but also to seek justice from Shrek Academy on your behalf!"
Kong Deming tried to persuade her.
Zhang Lexuan shook her head repeatedly, unable to believe what Kong Deming was saying.
"No. Grandfather, you must have misunderstood. Old Mu isn't that kind of person."
