Chapter 326: Qian Renxue vs. Xuan Zi, Shrek's Final Battle
"Old fools of Shrek, seeing the hatred in your eyes while knowing there's nothing you can do to me... It's truly delightful."
"Oh, right. That old bastard Mu En died with his eyes wide open. What a pity you didn't get to see the expression on his face before he died. It was quite a sight."
Zhang Lexuan first taunted the five people before her before smiling and recounting what had happened in Mu En's final moments.
Those words instantly sent the fury of Mu En's four disciples skyrocketing.
"Zhang Lexuan, you deserve to die!"
"The teacher trusted you so much back then, entrusting everything to you, yet you betrayed him!"
"Today, I'll avenge Teacher by killing an ungrateful wretch like you!"
Yan Shaozhe cursed furiously.
He could no longer suppress the rage in his heart.
In the next moment, the phantom of a Bright Phoenix appeared behind Yan Shaozhe.
His figure vanished from where he stood as he charged toward Zhang Lexuan.
Seeing Yan Shaozhe launch his attack, Kong Deming and Bibi Dong's group didn't move to block it for Zhang Lexuan.
They knew Zhang Lexuan was more than capable of stopping Yan Shaozhe's attack herself.
Faced with Yan Shaozhe's assault, Zhang Lexuan remained completely calm.
The corners of her lips curled upward into a sinister smile.
She reached toward the void and clenched her hand.
A silver spear appeared in her grasp, while nine soul rings rose around her.
The eighth and ninth soul rings were both hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
The silver spear in her hand was a level 9 close-combat soul tool known as the Silvermoon Divine Spear.
This level 9 soul tool had been used by Kong Deming when he was young.
Kong Deming had since given the Silvermoon Divine Spear to Zhang Lexuan.
Zhang Lexuan possessed the same Moon martial soul, making her soul power attributes exceptionally compatible with this level 9 soul tool.
In her hands, the combination could produce a combat strength greater than the sum of its parts.
Not only that, but Zhang Lexuan's soul power had now reached rank 95.
A few months ago, after killing Mu En, Zhang Lexuan had taken the three hundred-thousand-year soul bones from his body.
After returning to the Spirit Empire, Zhang Lexuan used the Spirit Empire's spirit soul technology to establish a spirit soul contract with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
The complete origin energy of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, combined with four hundred-thousand-year soul bones, provided an astonishing amount of energy.
It directly raised Zhang Lexuan's soul power by a full five ranks, allowing her to leap to rank 95 and become a Super Douluo.
Zhang Lexuan swung the Silvermoon Divine Spear.
The power of the silver moon surged forth, directly shattering Yan Shaozhe's attack and sending him flying dozens of meters.
"Yan Shaozhe, after all these years, you still haven't made any progress."
"And you actually think you can avenge Mu En? What a joke."
Zhang Lexuan raised her head and spoke with undisguised disdain.
"Zhang Lexuan, don't get too pleased with yourself. If Shaozhe can't do it, then there's still me!"
Xuan Zi circulated the soul power throughout his body and suddenly struck toward Zhang Lexuan with his palm.
"Xuan Zi, there are five of us here today."
"You Shrek people actually want to bully someone younger by relying on your seniority? Keep dreaming."
Bibi Dong raised a finger.
A streak of purple light shot from her fingertip, instantly neutralizing Xuan Zi's attack.
At that moment, Qian Renxue, who was standing beside Bibi Dong, became interested.
"Sister Dong, I'd like to use this old bastard Xuan Zi to hone my combat strength. I want to see whether I can defeat him despite being at a lower rank."
Qian Renxue's soul power had now reached rank 96.
Although she was two ranks below Xuan Zi, she had the confidence to use him as a stepping stone.
First, she possessed the Six-Winged Angel martial soul, a true god-level martial soul.
Second, she had already condensed Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores. The quality and total amount of her soul power far surpassed that of an ordinary Rank 97 Super Douluo.
Third, her spiritual power had already reached the level of a Limit Douluo—the Spirit Domain realm.
Fourth, every one of her soul rings was at least a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Both the number and power of her soul skills far exceeded those of soul masters at the same rank.
Fifth, she also possessed the Angel God's divine weapon, the Angel Holy Sword.
Compared with other soul masters, Qian Renxue's only weakness was her lack of combat experience.
Ever since she was young, she had been the little princess of Spirit Hall.
Even when her subordinates sparred with her, they were always extremely cautious, afraid of accidentally hurting her.
After all, back then, Qian Renxue was the beloved treasure of the former Pope Qian Xunji, the Grand Worship Qian Daoliu, and the God King Yun Yuan.
Even though Qian Renxue had repeatedly told them not to hold back, none of the soul masters under her command had dared to let her experience a true life-or-death crisis.
But Xuan Zi wasn't a member of Spirit Hall.
Naturally, he wouldn't hold back against Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue wanted to experience what true combat felt like—to fight to her heart's content.
Seeing the excitement in Qian Renxue's eyes, Bibi Dong didn't refuse.
"All right, Xue'er. This old fool is yours."
Bibi Dong nodded with a smile.
She then glanced toward Zhang Lexuan and Kong Deming.
"As for the other four small fry, leave them to the two of you. I know you have a deep grudge against Mu En."
"Although Mu En is already dead, let his four disciples bear the brunt of your anger."
After arranging everything, Bibi Dong pulled Ye Qingxian along with her and rose into the sky to watch the battle that would lead to Shrek's destruction.
Below, Qian Renxue slowly walked forward.
With every step she took, another soul ring rose into the air.
Each soul ring that appeared made the pupils of Shrek's members contract violently.
"How is that possible? Every single soul ring is a hundred-thousand-year soul ring or older?"
"Could it be that she has obtained the Angel God's divine position from ten thousand years ago and received the Angel God's divine trial?"
The members of Shrek couldn't help but speculate wildly.
For a soul master to possess such a terrifying soul ring configuration, there were basically only two possibilities.
One was that they possessed twin martial souls.
The other was that they were a divine heir.
But for someone with the Six-Winged Angel martial soul to possess twin martial souls, the other martial soul would also have to be a god-level martial soul.
But was that even possible?
How could someone with two god-level martial souls possibly exist in this world?
"Seventh Soul Skill: Taotie Divine Bull Avatar!"
Xuan Zi roared as all his soul rings were released.
His seventh soul ring flashed with dazzling light!
With a thunderous boom, the enormous Taotie Divine Bull Avatar descended upon the world!
A gigantic beast spanning dozens of meters stretched across the sky.
It possessed the body of a ram, eyes growing beneath its armpits, tiger-like teeth, and human-like claws. Its enormous spiral horns pierced straight into the clouds.
Vast earth-gold soul power swept in every direction, while an overwhelming aura of ferocity capable of devouring everything descended upon the battlefield.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Angel Avatar!"
Qian Renxue's clear, melodious voice rang out.
A gigantic golden Angel Avatar, a hundred meters tall, appeared behind her.
Soul power surged throughout the Angel Avatar.
An Angel Sword formed entirely from soul power appeared in its hand, pointing directly at the Taotie Divine Bull opposite it.
At this stage of the battle, Qian Renxue wasn't in any hurry to use her divine weapon, the Angel Holy Sword.
What she wanted was a battle where she could fight to her heart's content, not a battle of absolute suppression.
Having a divine weapon and fighting without one were two completely different things.
Moreover, she was the Angel God's successor.
With the Angel Holy Sword in hand, her combat strength could increase by at least twofold.
