Chapter 142: Lingxu Takes Action, A Woman's Intuition Is Still Quite Accurate
Chen Luoyun now has the heart but lacks the strength; seeing the Third Princess she was protecting being captured, she grips her long sword tightly.
Opposite her is a Level 89 Spirit Douluo, someone who has been famous for a long time and whose abilities are not weak.
If the opponent were only two or three levels higher in soul power than her, she would still have the confidence to fight and a chance to kill them, but to slay them now is truly too difficult.
"Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!" Chen Luoyun's spirit rings flash, and her long sword transforms into a rain of swords that crashes down.
However, the tall man's spirit rings appear; his martial soul is a long spear, and as he brandishes it, it is as if he is twisting it into a flower, blocking all the incoming sword rain.
Seeing this, Chen Luoyun releases the final few hundred sword shadows in an instant.
Under the cover of the sword shadows, Chen Luoyun steps directly onto her martial soul and flies rapidly toward the direction where the Third Princess was just taken.
But the moment she flies out, a massive net covering the sky descends, unexpectedly capturing Chen Luoyun and pulling her down.
"Boss, we've got her!"
That Level 78 Soul Saint had not actually left; he appeared to have left, but in reality, he was lying in ambush here.
Chen Luoyun struggles with all her might, but the more she struggles, the tighter the bindings become.
"Stop struggling. Although your soul power is Level 81, three levels higher than mine, even a Level 84 or 85 Spirit Douluo wouldn't find it easy to break free from this soul skill of mine."
Chen Luoyun says: "That is for others," as a sharp long sword slashes past, cutting open the net that was binding her.
Just as Chen Luoyun rises, the opponent unexpectedly uses the Third Princess as a shield, and the tall man says: "I knew that Goddess Luoyun wasn't just for show. With the Third Princess in our hands, I advise you to put down the long sword in your hand, otherwise, I am also clear about what everyone will do next."
"After all, we only need to bring her back to complete the mission; as for the process of the mission, no one will pursue it."
"Boss, we haven't touched a princess yet."
The man beside the Third Princess looks at her with a lecherous expression, his hands even beginning to stroke her body.
The Third Princess of the Star Empire is truly beautiful, on par with Chen Luoyun; the only difference is that the Third Princess still looks slightly green.
As for this Chen Luoyun, she is of the type that is already fully ripe.
For an ordinary person, the Third Princess should be screaming in this situation, but she does not; at this moment, she is instead calmer than before.
"Sister Luoyun, go, don't worry about me," the Third Princess says.
But how could Chen Luoyun easily abandon the Third Princess?
"Don't touch the Third Princess," Chen Luoyun says.
The tall man laughs: "You say don't touch, so we don't? But not touching is possible; if you don't resist and come back with us, I can guarantee that we won't touch a single hair on the Third Princess along the way."
"Of course, for you, I must seal your soul power."
Seeing Chen Luoyun hesitate, the tall man continues: "Don't believe me? Then how about I swear on my life?"
"Sister Luoyun, I'm going to die anyway if I go back, but you can leave, hurry and go, don't believe them," the Third Princess says.
Chen Luoyun's heart struggles; she knows the consequences of having her soul power sealed by the opponent, but if she doesn't, the Third Princess she promised to protect will certainly meet a tragic end.
Seeing Chen Luoyun hesitate, the tall man reveals an inscrutable smile at the corner of his mouth and says: "I will count to ten; after I finish, I cannot guarantee what my subordinates will do to this princess."
Ten.
Nine.
Three.
When counting to three, the tall man deliberately emphasizes his tone!
After a long while, he finally says two.
"Fine, I agree!"
Chen Luoyun replies helplessly; she compromises, though this is also a helpless move.
And Lingxu thinks that this Chen Luoyun is also quite stupid.
Once she has agreed, isn't she just at the mercy of others?
If she didn't agree and fought, perhaps there would be a glimmer of survival; originally, the chance of survival was in her own hands, but now it has fallen completely into the opponent's hands.
Just as Lingxu thought, the moment the tall man seals Chen Luoyun's soul power, he turns his back on his word, having succeeded.
"Haha, leave this place to me, you all go to the ship."
"Thank you, Boss!"
"Remember, you can't play her to death!"
Chen Luoyun says in terror: "You just swore you wouldn't touch us!"
"Haha!" the tall man laughs loudly: "They say women have big chests and no brains, and it's true; you believe a man's oath?"
And just as the man is laughing triumphantly and preparing to make a move, his expression suddenly freezes, and he falls straight down.
"Boss!"
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh no, the boss has no breath left."
"He's dead!"
"The oath has been fulfilled!"
Chen Luoyun's heart is pleasantly surprised, because she seems to have discerned the cause of the opponent's death; it should be a shock to the spirit and soul.
"Senior, save me, this junior Chen Luoyun would be most grateful!"
At this moment, Chen Luoyun's soul power is sealed; although the opponent is dead, it will still take her some time to undo it, and this time is enough for the remaining five people to attack her.
Lingxu originally wanted to take a trip to this Sun Moon Star Continent to obtain the manufacturing methods for Soul Guidance Device technology, and of course, the various scarce resources for making them.
After all, compared to the Douluo Continent, it cannot compare to the Sun Moon Star Continent in terms of resources.
"Who is plotting against our boss? Come out!"
Everyone is looking around, and only then does Lingxu slowly walk out.
As he walked, Lingxu said, "I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen anyone this shameless. Damn it."
Lingxu looked over, his sharp gaze making those few people tremble involuntarily.
"You, you... we are Spirit Masters from the Sunset Empire, you had best weigh this carefully; our State Preceptor and Prince Xu Ming are both Level 97 Title Douluo!" the man said directly.
On the Sun Moon Star Continent, the innate talent of Spirit Masters is generally lower than that of the Douluo Continent.
Level 97 is basically the peak of the Sun Moon Star Continent.
With this threat, ordinary people would truly not dare to offend them.
But the person they met today was Lingxu.
At this moment, the Third Princess shouted loudly, "Please, Senior, save Sister Luo Yun, I am willing to offer you a portion of the Star Empire's Soul Guidance technology heritage!"
As for the Soul Guidance technology heritage, she had taken a copy when she left, and although it was incomplete, it contained the manufacturing methods for several powerful Soul Guidance Devices.
Hearing about Soul Guidance technology, Lingxu said indifferently, "If I save you, I will be offending the other two great empires!"
"That's right, you had best weigh this carefully," this Level 78 Soul Saint said.
With the leader dead, he was the backbone here.
"If we die, the empire will certainly send experts; I advise you not to interfere."
Lingxu smiled and said, "But I have already killed him; will they let me off? I might as well just finish all of you off."
The next moment, Lingxu's figure appeared beside the other two people restraining the Third Princess, and two "Bang!" sounds rang out.
The two were sent flying by Lingxu, and a point of soul power light was struck out, landing on Chen Luoyun to help her break the soul power seal.
"These people are left to you!" Lingxu said indifferently.
Having acted up to this point, Lingxu had already been very generous.
Seeing this, Chen Luoyun immediately released her martial soul.
Of the five people, two were actually already heavily injured; although it was just a casual strike from Lingxu, for these two, it was absolutely a fatal disaster.
Therefore, in reality, Chen Luoyun was only facing three people.
That Level 78 Spirit Master's martial soul was a net-type martial soul, and it just so happened that Chen Luoyun's sword was extremely sharp and could cut through it.
With the seal broken, Chen Luoyun's angry emotions also reached their peak; she erupted with all her power, beheading the third sister in an instant, and she did not let the two heavily injured ones off either.
After they were all dead, she came before Lingxu, put away her martial soul, and knelt on one knee.
"Thank you, Senior, for the grace of saving my life; please, Senior, save our Star Empire."
Chen Luoyun was actually considered a member of the Star Empire's imperial family; she was the Third Princess's cousin.
The Third Princess said, "Junior Xingxin, Third Princess of the Star Empire, greets Senior; please, Senior, save our Star Empire."
Lingxu looked at the two and said indifferently, "How are you certain that I can save your empire?"
"Senior, I am not sure either, but you were able to use Mental Power to kill the opponent in that moment; his soul power had already reached Level 89, and to kill him directly with Mental Power like that, your soul power and Mental Power must absolutely be at Level 97 or above. Moreover, you give me a feeling that is much, much stronger than even the strongest person in our empire," Chen Luoyun said.
Third Princess Xingxin said, "Senior, as long as you can help us, our Star Empire will absolutely give you the best rewards; you will be the greatest benefactor of our Star Empire."
"By the way, this is a portion of our Star Empire's Soul Guidance Device heritage; this is what I promised you, Senior," Xingxin said, taking a box out of a Soul Guidance Device and handing it over.
Lingxu came over and opened the box, discovering that it contained quite a few blueprints, but they were divided into three parts, which were the manufacturing blueprints for three Soul Guidance Devices.
Putting away these three Soul Guidance Device manufacturing blueprints, Lingxu said, "Let's go, take me to your empire to have a look!"
From their previous conversation, it was not difficult to conclude that the Star Empire was currently the best at Soul Guidance Device research on the Sun Moon Star Continent, and also the one with the most abundant resources.
And wasn't this exactly what Lingxu wanted? Lingxue Sacred Land should supplement its Soul Guidance technology in the future.
"Okay, we will return immediately, but our Star Capital City is already in danger now."
"May I ask how to address you, Senior?" Xingxin asked proactively.
Lingxu responded, "Lingxu!"
"Senior Ling, please!"
Chen Luoyun released her martial soul, then stood upon it and brought the Third Princess Xingxin along, saying to Lingxu, "Senior, let us go down first."
Lingxu said, "Let's go."
Lingxu rose directly into the air; he did not even need a soul skill, just pure soul power, and flying through the air was already a trivial matter.
Seeing Lingxu like this, how could Chen Luoyun not be amazed?
Third Princess Xingxin also could not suppress her joy; the Star Empire might be saved.
Descending from the mountain peak, Lingxu only saw a large ship.
Chen Luoyun said, "Senior, please wait for me a moment!"
Lingxu nodded, and subsequently, Chen Luoyun rushed in with her sword, killed the remaining ship guard, and then said, "My Lord, their ship is relatively fast; let us take theirs."
Entering the cabin, this was actually a Soul Guidance Device.
After entering the cabin, Xingxin said, "No wonder they were able to chase us so quickly; this seems to be an Assault Ship Soul Guidance Device researched by our empire, three times faster than ordinary ships."
Swish...
Lingxu sensed the speed of the voyage; it was indeed not slow.
Especially after injecting soul power; the more soul power injected, the faster the speed.
Perhaps to let Lingxu get to Star Capital City sooner, Chen Luoyun was channeling her soul power with all her might.
The speed of a ship actually exceeded 100 kilometers per hour.
The journey of nearly a thousand nautical miles was reached that very evening.
After arriving, Chen Luoyun used her sword martial soul to carry Xingxin in a flying manner, while Lingxu flew alone.
From the coastline to the Star Capital City of the Star Empire, there were still over 800 kilometers.
In between, Chen Luoyun rested twice to replenish her soul power, and by the next morning, the three were only a few kilometers away from Star Capital City.
But at this distance of just a few kilometers, armies with two different flags could be seen everywhere.
There were Soul Guidance Master legions; Lingxu saw Soul Guidance Cannons and the like.
And some simple Soul Guidance Devices.
Seeing this, the Third Princess Xingxin let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, it is not yet time for the general offensive."
"Senior Lingxu, what should we do next?" Xingxin asked tentatively.
Lingxu said, "I can take action for you, but at most three times, and I must receive corresponding compensation; if the compensation is insufficient, then I am sorry."
"I am interested in Soul Guidance Devices, Soul Guidance Device manufacturers, and resources for Soul Guidance Devices; of course, if there are other good things, I can also accept them."
"Since you were able to come out, you can still go back in. Once you have discussed it, come and tell me. I will be waiting for your news in this vicinity. You do not need to take the initiative to contact me; once you arrive in this area, I will naturally know."
Lingxu did not go in with them, choosing instead to wait in this vicinity.
At first, they spoke of the best rewards and favors, but these were not concrete; there was nothing Lingxu knew for certain. Lingxu wanted something concrete and practical.
After all, he did not come here to do charity or waste time; if he puts in effort, there must naturally be a return.
Xingxin also understood that the current Star Empire only had the things Lingxu mentioned that were worth offering.
"Senior, can you reveal some of your strength? So that when I return, I can report it to my Imperial Father for discussion," Xingxin said.
Lingxu said, "Didn't they say the strongest are Level 97? Remember, it is enough that I do not fear them."
"Good!" Xingxin smiled, and Chen Luoyun also smiled. Lingxu saying this meant he was likely far more powerful than them, perhaps his soul power had already reached Level 98.
"Senior, then please wait for our news," Xingxin said.
After the two finished speaking, they bowed to Lingxu and left. As the two women departed, Lingxu also moved quickly, heading toward Star Capital City, the capital of the Star Continent.
He said it that way, but he was a newcomer and did not understand anything about Soul Guidance Devices.
Whatever the other party gave, Lingxu would not be able to judge the value of these items or whether the corresponding action was worth it.
Therefore, Lingxu needed to enter the city to find an opportunity to learn, so that he would have a reason to bargain.
……
"Sister Luoyun, can this Senior Lingxu really help us turn the tide?" the Third Princess Xingxin asked again.
Chen Luoyun said, "Third Princess."
"Sister Luoyun, you should still call me by my name," Xingxin said.
"Alright, Xingxin, I am not sure either, I just have a feeling. I feel that all the Title Douluo on our continent combined are no match for him."
"Looking at his attire and the accent in his speech, he does not seem to be from our continent! Perhaps he is an expert who has been cultivating in seclusion overseas," Chen Luoyun analyzed.
