Chapter 195: Killing Ju Douluo

Everyone on the scene saw Ju Douluo's desperate stance, and each of them reacted extremely quickly.

All of them each activated their own soul skills to attack, and to some extent widened the distance from Ju Douluo.

Especially Lin Gong, as a Control System Title Douluo, disregarding the consumption of soul power, summoned countless Purple Emperor Bamboos to assault Ju Douluo.

Long Gong Meng Shu even roared, "Ju Hua Guan, is a friend truly a friend? Back then you harmed our friends for personal gain; today is the time you repay with your life."

Ju Douluo let out a wild laugh, "Meng Shu, Lin Gong, today I will settle this once and for all. I have killed so many of you, you have killed Old Ghost; today only one side will survive."

Ju Douluo's body was bathed in brilliant golden light, a terrifying aura surged skyward, and the Strange Fungus Sky‑Reaching Chrysanthemum instantly grew immensely huge, emitting endless radiance.

Each petal resembled a Moon Blade, forming a massive tornado that seemed to envelop several hundred meters around.

A voice echoed from the sky, "Ju Hua Can, ground full of wounds, fallen flower breaks hearts!"

This is Ju Douluo's Ninth Spirit Skill, and at this moment Ju Douluo pushes Life Force and soul power to the limit, completely disregarding life, exhausting all effort to unleash the technique's full power.

Moreover, Ju Douluo's target at that instant was crystal clear, charging straight toward Yang Xiong.

It was evident that Ju Douluo knew that even fighting desperately he would be slain by Jian Douluo and the others, and Yang Xiong, so young, had become the leader of this group; Gui Douluo's death was definitely orchestrated singlehandedly by Yang Xiong.

But as the two drew near, Ju Douluo shouted, "How is that possible, you actually ingested the Strange Fungus Sky‑Reaching Chrysanthemum?"

Yang Xiong snorted, "What's so strange? The Strange Fungus Sky‑Reaching Chrysanthemum I took shares the same origin as your martial soul, and it is truly mature Immortal Herb; we should be able to sense each other."

A hint of fear flashed in Ju Douluo's eyes, "That's impossible; back during the Soul Grandmaster Competition, you hadn't taken the Strange Fungus Sky‑Reaching Chrysanthemum yet."

A smile tugged at Yang Xiong's mouth, "We met a year ago, didn't we? Too bad you didn't show your face then; otherwise, your patron behind you might not have been able to stay hidden."

Ju Douluo was a bit stunned, "What exactly do you know?"

Yang Xiong snorted, "Your Spirit Hall is ambitious; since the Soul Hunting Operation began, it has become the prelude to your Spirit Hall's downfall. In the future I will uproot the Spirit Hall completely."

Ju Douluo shrieked, "That's impossible; you're just a minor Soul Grandmaster, how could you shake the foundations of my Spirit Hall? Go die!"

Seeing Ju Douluo pour all his force toward Yang Xiong, Niu Gao reacted instantly, rushed to Yang Xiong's side, and directly activated his Ninth Spirit Skill: Absolute Defense—Heaven Cracks Earth Splits.

The entire space seemed to form a whole, and a massive armored giant rhinoceros stood rigidly before Ju Douluo.

But for the desperate Ju Douluo, even Niu Gao's Ninth Spirit Skill was hard to resist; after all, Ju Douluo is a ninety‑five‑level Title Douluo.

Yang Xiong merely snorted coldly; Ju Douluo seemed to intend to use him as a shield, but he had greatly underestimated himself.

Yang Xiong's Sixth Soul Ring flashed, and his entire body transformed in that instant; facing Ju Douluo's desperate Ninth Spirit Skill, he steadfastly resisted with all his might.

While the two clashed with full force, a gigantic Purple Emperor Bamboo fell from the sky as if it could tear heaven and earth, and simultaneously a massive dragon and a strange snake lunged at Ju Douluo—clearly the combined full‑scale attack of Lin Gong and Long Gong She Po.

Ju Douluo suddenly roared, "Even if I die, I will still use you as a shield."

The massive Strange Fungus Sky‑Reaching Chrysanthemum emitted an extremely terrifying Explosion sound in that instant, and within a radius of nearly a hundred meters the golden light seemed to envelop everything, brimming with dreadful energy.

Especially, Ju Douluo stared fixedly at Yang Xiong, as if wanting to watch Yang Xiong fall.

But Yang Xiong was not frightened at all; his body countered Ju Douluo's explosion, and even each fragment of his body that was damaged instantly regenerated.

Only then did Ju Douluo realize what Yang Xiong's Sixth Soul Skill was—a Immortal Body just like Bibidong's Ninth Spirit Skill. He ended up with a face full of resentment, his whole being turning to void, while a strong voice of unwillingness echoed in the air.

"Old Ghost, I'm here to accompany you!"

When the scene finally calmed again, Ju Douluo, having exhausted his Ninth Spirit Skill and self‑detonated his soul power, had turned into fragments, even leaving a massive crater nearly a hundred meters wide around.

And Yang Xiong gradually returned to normal, as if he had taken no damage at all.

Only then did everyone on the scene sigh in relief, though Yang Xiong's combat power and survivability truly surprised them.

Yang Xiong didn't linger; he directly inspected the area, confirming that Ju Douluo, after self‑exploding, had become fragments and left nothing behind.

Gui Douluo had already been slain, and after a quick search on his body, Yang Xiong obtained a dark‑colored Right Leg Soul Bone, which seemed to be of excellent quality.

The bone should possess dark and speed attributes, and its age is extremely high—probably over fifty thousand years.

Everyone felt a sigh of lament; this battle in the Star Dou Great Forest was unusually smooth, the two Ju Gui Douluo fell on the spot, all Soul Saints from the Spirit Hall who arrived were slain, and the Spirit Hall suffered heavy losses again.

Especially since the Ju Gui Douluo had roamed the Soul Master World for decades, and even their martial souls were engraved on the Pope Token, showing their influence in the Soul Master World.

Niu Gao, Yang Wudi and Bai He quickly dealt with the scene, trying to erase all traces of the battle; the Spirit Hall must not discover that Ju Gui Douluo died at the hands of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, or a terrifying retaliation would surely follow.

When the cleanup was nearly finished, Yang Xiong finally reunited with Ning Rongrong and the others.

At this moment Tang San and Xiao Wu clung tightly together, both feeling as if they had survived a catastrophe; this time they truly were in great danger.

When they saw Yang Xiong again, Tang San's expression was a bit odd, "Yang Xiong, thanks for saving Xiao Wu and me this time; otherwise she would have been in danger."

Yang Xiong smiled, "We're all classmates; helping each other is natural, and besides, our main goal this time was to kill Ju Gui Douluo, which also fulfills an earlier promise."

Back then, to win over the Overlord Dragon Snake Clan, Yang Xiong not only gave Long Gong a seed of Immortal Herb, but also gave She Po a Divine Medicine, and most importantly promised to help them slay Ju Douluo, since the hatred between the sides ran deep.

At this moment Long Gong and Lin Gong gazed at the ash‑turned Ju Douluo and the fallen Gui Douluo, their faces showing a thrill of a great revenge finally settled, as if a years‑long knot had been untied.

Even Jian Douluo and Ning Fengyuan felt a sense of great vengeance; now the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Spirit Hall are mortal enemies, and this also avenges the casualties from the previous Soul Hunting Operation.

Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python watched Xiao Wu with extreme caution, clearly uneasy about Yang Xiong's group.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiong, Tang San and the others who were originally from Shrek sat together chatting, and Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were overjoyed; the two sisters hadn't seen each other for five years, as if they had endless things to say.

Yang Wudi, Bai He, Niu Gao and the others looked at Tang San, their eyes filled with conflict—on one hand anger, on the other a hint of helplessness.

During the Clear Sky Sect war, the three major single‑attribute families suffered heavy losses, and the mastermind behind it all was Tang San's father, Tang Hao.

But considering the thoughts and outlook of the three, they didn't want to over‑transfer their anger onto Tang San, who wasn't even born then.

Of course, because the events were so secret, no one knew that the original mastermind of the war was Tang San's mother.

Xiao Wu was still a bit carefree, "Xiao Xiongzi, thanks for saving me this time; this Star Dou Great Forest is my territory, Sister Xiao Wu can cover you."

Yang Xiong replied helplessly, "Then thanks to Xiao Wu, but I have my own motives this time."

Xiao Wu instantly flared up, "Do you still intend to come to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Ten‑thousand‑Year Soul Beasts? Sister Xiao Wu warns you: you may not strike at Da Ming Er Ming, or I won't be polite."

Yang Xiong laughed, "That's not the case; although Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python are powerful, I'm not after those two this time in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"You've lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for so long; haven't you encountered other hostile or evil Ten‑thousand‑Year Soul Beasts?"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes at Yang Xiong, "Xiao Xiongzi, what are you talking about? Ten‑thousand‑Year Soul Beasts are forged after countless hardships; I haven't seen any others either."

"Also, I warn you, you may not hunt high‑level Soul Beasts casually in the Star Dou Great Forest, or Sister Xiao Wu won't be polite."

Yang Xiong couldn't help but retort, "You little rabbit, we just saved your life, and you turn your back on us so quickly?"

Xiao Wu swiftly grasped Ning Rongrong's hands: "If you want to save me, it's Ning Rongrong who saved me; I won't thank you, you scoundrel. Who told you to hunt a Hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beast with such single‑mindedness?"

Ning Rongrong gave Yang Xiong a white glance, then quickly patted Xiao Wu's rabbit ears, looking rather pleased: "Xiao Wu, don't worry about Xiao Xiongzi; he thinks only of getting stronger all day, even the time he spends with me has dwindled."

Xiao Wu's eyes flicked: "By the way, Xiao Xiongzi, I know of a Soul Beast whose strength is formidable; purely in combat power it's not weaker than Great Brightness Er Ming, but unfortunately it isn't a Hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beast."

Yang Xiong thought carefully: "What you're talking about can't be that Dark Demon Evil Tiger, can it? That Dark Demon Evil Tiger is indeed powerful, but unfortunately it's not the one I'm after."

"By the way, you must have seen those three big ants, right? Those three big ants are the ones I truly seek; can you tell me where they are now?"

Xiao Wu's face also showed surprise: "Xiao Xiongzi, how do you know about those three Thousand‑jin Ant Emperors?"

Beside them, Tang San's eyes showed puzzlement: "Xiao Wu, what are Thousand‑jin Ant Emperors? Are they powerful?"

Xiao Wu nodded: "In the Core Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest there are three Thousand‑jin Ant Emperors. They are three brothers, their ages should exceed ninety‑thousand years, and their strength is immense; even Great Brightness Er Ming has fought them multiple times."

They are extremely covetous of the environment around Life Lake; unfortunately they lost several battles to Great Brightness Er Ming, but their power is indeed great, basically not inferior to Er Ming.

Tang San was also shocked: "A ninety‑thousand‑year‑old Thousand‑jin Ant Emperor—how is that possible? How can an ordinary Thousand‑jin Ant cultivate to ninety thousand years?"

Xiao Wu shook her head: "San Ge, I'm not sure about that, but those three Thousand‑jin Ant Emperors are like overlords in the Star Dou Great Forest; even a lone Hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beast wouldn't dare provoke them lightly."

Yang Xiong instantly grasped Xiao Wu's meaning; the Star Dou Great Forest certainly has other Hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts, but since they're also Hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts, he guesses Xiao Wu won't help him hunt them.

Of course Yang Xiong didn't care about those top‑tier Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest; he only wants the Seventh Spirit Ring now, and the real plans for the other two Spirit Rings have long been set.
