SEC Chapter 374 Bibi Dong, long time no see!
Chapter 374 Bibi Dong, long time no see!
The true form of the Vast Ocean Dragon Horse unleashed a deafening dragon roar, and the Sea Horse Douluo raised his fist high, as if to gather the power of the entire sea area into this one punch!
Immediately afterwards, endless azure soul power was frantically compressed and condensed, forming a terrifying blue energy sphere with a diameter of more than ten meters in front of Seahorse Douluo. Inside, it seemed as if stars were flowing and waves were roaring. Electric snakes crawled on the surface of the sphere, emitting destructive fluctuations!
The next moment, Seahorse Douluo's fist suddenly slammed out!
The enormous blue energy sphere, like a comet falling from the heavens or a meteor carrying the raging waves of the ocean, carried the will to purify all evil. Trailing a long, azure tail, it tore through the air at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, emitting a deafening roar, and fiercely attacked Tang San, who was enveloped in the dark blue silver true body below!
This punch was not a simple energy impact; it contained Seahorse Douluo's profound understanding of the power of the sea. The name "Comet Meteor" signifies that it combines the terrifying impact of a falling comet, the extreme speed of a meteor, and the boundless power of the sea!
Before the fist even landed, the terrifying pressure had already descended.
This caused the dark blue silver grass around Tang San to tremble violently, emitting a mournful cry of being unable to bear the burden, and even the black light on the surface of his true form seemed to dim a little!
The ground below was also crushed by the invisible force of the fist.
Facing the terrifying eighth soul skill of Seahorse Douluo Ouya, Comet Meteor Sunset Fist, which carried the raging waves of the sea, Tang San's eyes blazed with a dark purple light. Instead of retreating, he stirred up the destructive desire that had been amplified after obtaining the power of the Rakshasa God!
"Hmph, a mere Title Douluo? Today I'll show you what true power is!"
Tang San let out a low shout, and the black eighth spirit ring under his feet, which came from an 80,000-year-old evil spirit beast called the Soul Devouring Demon Vine King, suddenly burst out with a deep, dark, and eerie light!
"Eighth Soul Skill, Demonic Vine Soul Devouring!"
Tang San's Dark Blue Silver True Body behind him suddenly expanded violently. Countless Dark Blue Silver Grasses were no longer just vines, but their tips suddenly split open, turning into ferocious maws filled with sharp teeth, flowing with viscous dark energy, and seemingly capable of devouring souls!
Immediately afterwards, all the giant mouths of the Dark Blue Silver Grass simultaneously aimed at the incoming azure energy comet, and then spewed out a torrent of purplish-black energy that was condensed to the extreme, as viscous as liquid darkness, and with edges that tore through space!
This torrent did not rush in a straight line, but rather spun and intertwined rapidly in the air, forming a dark vortex that kept collapsing inward, as if dragging everything into nothingness.
A terrifying suction force emanated from the center of the vortex, distorting even the light!
This is the evil soul skill that the Soul Devouring Demon Vine King bestowed upon Tang San. It can not only devour the enemy's soul skill power, but also erode the soul, dragging everything into a deathly silence like the void!
Almost at the same time.
Knowing the principle that "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold," Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun also took decisive action!
"Sixth Soul Skill - White Tiger Annihilation Strike!"
The evil-eyed white tiger behind Dai Mubai roared, its claws crossed in front of its chest. The violent soul power and ferocious aura were compressed wildly, transforming into a dark gold cross-shaped blade with dark gold cracks on the edge, carrying the power to destroy everything. It struck first after being attacked later, and fiercely slashed at the side of the azure comet!
"Sixth Soul Skill - Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike!"
At the same time, the evil fire phoenix behind Ma Hongjun spread its wings angrily, and all the flames instantly condensed at the tip of its beak. Then it transformed into a thin, needle-like beam of fire that burned with deep, dark purple evil fire and seemed to be able to pierce through metal and soul. With a sharp whooshing sound, it pierced straight into the core of the azure comet!
In an instant, in the sky.
Three powerful soul skills imbued with an aura of evil, ferocity, and destruction.
It crashed into Seahorse Douluo's Comet Meteor Sunset Fist from three different directions!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A terrifying explosion, beyond description, erupted over Purple Pearl Island!
Immediately, the four energies, each with a distinct nature yet all incredibly powerful, collided, tore at each other, and then annihilated each other like four out-of-control primordial beasts!
The dark vortex frantically devoured and corroded the energy of the azure comet, emitting terrifying hissing sounds, but the boundless power of the ocean contained within the comet was also constantly impacting and purifying the darkness.
The White Tiger Annihilation Slash struck the comet's flank, bursting with dazzling golden-blue light, attempting to tear apart its internal structure. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Cloud Piercing Strike, like the sharpest poisonous needle, tried to pierce the comet's energy flow at its most critical points, triggering a chain reaction of collapse.
At the epicenter of the explosion, space was violently distorted, forming a brief but dangerous chaotic energy field, with countless tiny spatial cracks flashing by.
The violent energy turbulence swept wildly in all directions like an out-of-control hurricane!
The already dilapidated Gray Shell Village below suffered further devastation.
The already burning ruins were completely blown away and crushed by the energy turbulence, the ground was plowed with deeper and wider trenches, and even the distant sea was stirred up by the shock wave to create towering waves!
The next second, Tang San's expression changed slightly. He was directly thrown back several steps by the terrifying recoil from the explosion. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun groaned, their blood churning, and the phantoms of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Evil Fire Phoenix dimmed considerably.
Meanwhile, the true form of the Vast Ocean Dragon Horse, which was transformed from the Seahorse Douluo Ouya, was also trembling with azure light. Its huge body swayed in the air, and its dragon head let out a low roar filled with pain and anger.
He never expected that his eighth soul skill, which he was determined to obtain, would be blocked and have most of its power worn away by the combined efforts of the three opponents!
Although they were not completely defeated, they also failed to inflict a severe blow on Tang San as expected.
Seeing this, Eurasia was alarmed. The strength and teamwork of these three young people far exceeded his expectations! In particular, the evil soul skill of the blue-haired youth actually had the characteristic of restraining and devouring water attribute energy, and the soul skills of the white tiger and the phoenix were not to be underestimated!
"These heretics are indeed quite capable!"
Eurasia steadied himself, the aura of his true dragon-horse form surging once more, his eyes burning with even greater killing intent. He declared, "You are no match for me! Take another strike!"
Seeing that Tang San and his two companions had barely managed to block his eighth soul skill with their combined efforts, and that their methods were strange and unorthodox, Seahorse Douluo Ouya felt an even greater killing intent and sense of urgency.
He held nothing back and was determined to completely suppress and annihilate these three people in one fell swoop!
Immediately afterwards, the true form of the Vast Ocean Dragon Horse roared to the sky, and the black ninth soul ring under its feet suddenly burst forth with a blinding black light! Instantly, a vast sea of soul power surged into the true form, and the surrounding space seemed to be filled with endless water elements!
"Ninth Soul Skill - Heavenly Dragon Tornado Annihilation Fist!"
At this moment, the roar of Eurasia was like the wrath of the sea god, resounding throughout the heavens and earth!
The Vast Ocean Dragon Horse stood suspended in the air, and the Sea Horse Douluo raised his fist high once again. But this time, what he gathered was not a simple ball of energy, but rather the vast water elements of the entire sea!
Instantly, centered on the dragon horse's true form, a towering, azure water tornado, over a hundred meters in diameter, appeared out of thin air, with lightning crackling and waves roaring within it.
It seems to contain the most violent and destructive power of the ocean!
The next moment, the fist, wreathed in terrifying tornadoes and destructive energy, was like a fallen pillar of heaven or a hammer of divine punishment, carrying the destructive will to crush everything, and fiercely slammed down on Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun, who had just regained their footing below!
The power of this attack far surpasses that of the previous eighth soul skill!
Before the fist even arrived, the ground below the entire Gray Shell Village area undulated and collapsed violently like waves! The air was completely expelled, forming a vacuum zone. The terrifying pressure caused Tang San's Martial Soul True Body to groan under the unbearable strain, and his movements became extremely sluggish!
"What? Such a powerful aura! No wonder it's the ninth soul skill of a Title Douluo."
Tang San's expression changed slightly, and his eyes flashed wildly with purple-black light. He rapidly circulated the Rakshasa Divine Power within his body, attempting to activate his soul skill again to resist, but he felt a sense of powerlessness!
Behind him, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were even paler than before. Under such pressure, even circulating their soul power became extremely difficult!
However, at that moment, without warning, a blurry figure appeared in the void behind the three of them, seemingly formed from the purest shadows and evil.
It was a woman wielding a gigantic, menacing scythe.
The black figure did not attack, but simply swung the huge scythe in its hand lightly towards the location of Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun.
There was no earth-shattering sound, no burst of energy.
As if an eraser wiped away pencil marks, or as if scissors cut open a scroll, the space rippled with a strange, water-like purple-black ripples where the sickle passed.
Immediately following, just as Ou Ya Na's ninth soul skill, imbued with the power of annihilation, was about to fall.
The figures of Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun, along with the evil aura emanating from them, vanished into thin air without warning, like bubbles!
Only a distorted, purplish-black spatial ripple remained in place, which was rapidly closing up.
"What?!" Staring at the scene before him, Eurasia was horrified. This sudden change was completely beyond his comprehension! Spatial transfer? Or some kind of intervention from a higher level of power?
However, he was already too late to stop his ninth soul skill, which he was unleashing with all his might!
"BOOM—!!!!!"
Having lost its target, the Thunder Dragon's Annihilation Fist slammed solidly into the already ravaged Gray Shell Village below!
Amidst a deafening roar, a massive, charred crater, over a hundred meters in diameter and tens of meters deep, suddenly appeared! The soil around the crater turned vitrified, seawater poured in with a hissing sound, and thick smoke and steam billowed into the sky!
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying shockwave swept across the entire island again, and even the distant sea surface was whipped up by tsunamis several meters high!
As the smoke and dust dissipated, the true form of the dragon-horse that Eurasia had transformed into floated above the giant pit, its azure eyes filled with surprise, anger, and a hint of lingering fear.
He looked around and his spiritual energy spread out like a tide, but he could no longer detect any trace of Tang San and the others. Even the strange black figure had vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
"Spatial teleportation? This is... a divine technique?" Eurasia was utterly shocked. Could there be such a terrifying being interfering behind the scenes?!
Clearly, these three are no ordinary evil spirit masters!
But at this moment, he had no time to delve into it further.
At the edge of the giant pit below, the faint breaths of Purple Pearl and the few remaining, severely injured and unconscious fishermen were as weak as candles flickering in the wind.
Eurasia dared not delay any longer. He immediately deactivated his Martial Soul True Body, transformed into a blue light, and swooped down to land beside Purple Pearl. He quickly checked her and found that Purple Pearl was severely injured and had a lot of strange toxins remaining in her body, but at least she was still alive.
He immediately channeled his pure water-attribute healing soul power into Purple Pearl's body to stabilize her life force, while also glancing at the other survivors.
"We can only take them back to Seagod Island for treatment first, and then report this matter in detail to the High Priest!"
Ou Ya acted decisively, using his soul power to lift up Purple Pearl and several surviving fishermen. He took a deep look at the spot where Tang San and the other two had disappeared into thin air, his eyes filled with solemnity.
This matter seems to be more complicated and dangerous than he had anticipated.
Without lingering, he led the survivors, transforming into a streak of azure light, and sped towards Seagod Island, leaving behind only the burning ruins, corpses scattered everywhere, and the shockingly huge crater on Purple Pearl Island.
...............
Meanwhile, on the border of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
A tattered troop was seen heading towards Wuhun City.
The carriage bumped along the muddy road, the sound of its wheels rolling over gravel particularly jarring.
The remaining hundred or so people moved with unusual slowness. Everyone looked tired and fearful. Their armor was tattered and stained with blood. The once magnificent carriage in the center of the group now had its canopy torn and its gold paint peeling off, casting a long, dilapidated shadow in the setting sun.
Inside the carriage, Bibi Dong sat cross-legged. The purplish-black Rakshasa divine power flickered around her like a candle in the wind. Each attempt to gather was interrupted by the rampant Asura killing intent within her, resulting in a violent cough and purplish-black blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
Hu Liena stood by her side, carefully wiping the cold sweat from her forehead with a damp silk handkerchief.
"Teacher, have some water," Hu Liena said softly, handing over a water pouch.
Bibi Dong shook her head slightly, her gaze piercing through the gap in the carriage curtain as she looked towards the gloomy sky, and said:
"Lena, how far are we from Spirit City?"
"At the current speed... it will take at least five more days to reach the nearest camp," Hu Liena replied in a low voice, her fingers unconsciously clenching her handkerchief.
Five days was far too long for the severely wounded and weakened teacher, and for this remnant army that was constantly at risk of being pursued or ambushed.
As her cultivation resumed, suddenly, the spiderweb pattern on Bibi Dong's forehead lit up. She, who had been in a weakened state during her cultivation, abruptly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with undisguised horror. In a flash, she rushed out of the carriage and looked towards the sky ahead.
"Teacher!" Hu Liena exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this and followed her out.
The remaining hundred Soul Masters instantly went on alert, their Soul Rings lighting up as they protected the two figures in the center. All eyes nervously scanned their surroundings; the wilderness was silent, save for the howling wind.
But Bibi Dong's gaze remained fixed on the sky ahead, which was clearly empty, yet she seemed to see something terrifying, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
The next instant, the air rippled like water, and a blue figure appeared silently in mid-air, as if he had always been there.
"Bibi Dong, it's been a long time!" (End of Chapter)
