Chapter 184: Heavenly Net Dual Covers and the Imperial Maiden Douluo

Following the night breeze, Zhang Lexuan smelled a nauseating, fishy stench in the air. Zhang Lexuan barely propped herself up; the power of the previous strike had reached the Titled Douluo level, and her internal organs had all been severely damaged because of it. Just as she wanted to speak, she uncontrollably vomited a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with some fragments of internal organs.

"Hehehe..."

"Don't try to make any more futile resistance. In your current state, let alone resisting this seat, I'm afraid it's difficult even to stand up. Obediently take your little junior sister and return to the Holy Sect with this seat. With your aptitude, you are destined to be cultivated by the high-level members of the Holy Sect in the future and become a generation of great fierce beasts after us, hehehe..."

A flash of despair crossed Zhang Lexuan's eyes. An Evil Soul Master Super Douluo—this was far from an opponent she could handle. If they were in their prime, she and Han Ruoruo might have had a chance to escape, but unfortunately, they had fallen into the other party's trap. Not only was their soul power almost exhausted, but their bodies were also severely injured. Facing a Super Douluo, I'm afraid it was more ominous than auspicious.

"Holy Spirit Sect... you rats in the gutter, sooner or later, there will be no place for you on the continent..."

A flash of blood appeared in Zhang Lexuan's eyes. She didn't need to think about how miserable the consequences of being captured by the Holy Spirit Sect would be. Looking at Han Ruoruo, who had temporarily fainted due to the aftermath of the attack, Zhang Lexuan gritted her teeth and got up quickly to escape, then helped her up. Rather than losing her mind and becoming a puppet to be humiliated, she would rather die in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Han Ruoruo was usually gentle in character, but she never lacked strength, and in some aspects, she was even more decisive than her. The two were especially similar in this regard; they would rather die than fall into the hands of Evil Soul Masters and be humiliated.

Having made up her mind, Zhang Lexuan did not hesitate. She channeled the only remaining soul power in her body toward her dantian. Visibly, blood-colored patterns appeared on her originally snow-white skin, and the sinister middle-aged man's eyes darkened slightly, then he chuckled.

He slowly stretched out a somewhat withered hand, and a pink halo emerged, followed by two pink covers. Their appearance was somewhat similar to a certain necessity for women.

His tool martial soul was called the Heavenly Net Dual Covers, belonging to the control system. The cultivation limit of the martial soul itself was not high, and the martial soul itself was not powerful, which led to his own combat power always being at a fluctuating level. But it wasn't until he came into contact with the cultivation path of Evil Soul Masters that he finally discovered a heaven-defying point of his own martial soul.

As long as he practiced dual cultivation with a woman, his martial soul could plunder the other party's potential and soul power to feed back to him. The stronger the woman's strength and talent, the greater the amplification he could receive. And the women whose potential and soul power were plundered by him were almost all squeezed into human husks by his martial soul afterward. Relying on this ability, in just thirty years, he had risen from the Soul Ancestor realm all the way to the Super Douluo level, and joined the Holy Spirit Sect more than a decade ago, becoming a highly respected offering.

And this time, when he went out to search for targets, he happened to meet Zhang Lexuan and her companion who were traveling within the Star Luo Empire. With the uniqueness of the Moon martial soul and the Shaking Gold Rope martial soul, he recognized their identities and followed them, looking for an opportunity. Finally, he caught the chance when they entered the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul rings and made his move, using the secret techniques of the Holy Spirit Sect to control the two major herds to hunt and exhaust them, while he sat back and reaped the benefits.

As for why he didn't make a move directly, the reason was also very simple: his strength as a Super Douluo had a lot of "water" in it, and his martial soul had no outstanding features other than the ability to devour women's potential and soul power to amplify himself. Facing Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo in their prime, he really might not be able to win.

Accompanied by four purple and five black, nine soul rings appearing, the pink halo slowly enveloped Zhang Lexuan and her companion. The light of the black sixth soul ring flickered. Under this pink light, Zhang Lexuan's originally swelling body slowly returned to its original appearance, and then she sat on the ground with a dull look in her eyes, completely losing the ability to resist.

The Imperial Maiden Douluo's mouth split even wider. That's right, his title was "Imperial Maiden"! Having no culture, after breaking through to Titled Douluo, he once wanted to set his title as "Dual Covers," until he saw the term "Imperial Maiden Three Thousand" in an ancient book, which changed his mind. His reputation was among the worst in the entire Holy Spirit Sect, but since he had already become an Evil Soul Master, he didn't care about these things anymore. For him, being able to grasp the current power and status was the most important thing. Look, Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo were his bargaining chips to consolidate his status and even go further.

Just think about the senior sister of the Shrek Inner Court and the Golden Fairy falling into Evil Soul Masters one after another—what a blow this would be to the reputation of Shrek Academy. Maybe the Sect Master would be happy and reward him with a few more Sun Moon noble ladies. That feeling...

Hehehe...

Just as he was preparing to step forward and take the two women away, a stream of ice-blue light suddenly came from afar at high speed. Shu Yan looked at the two women who had lost consciousness, then looked at the Imperial Maiden Douluo, whose soul rings were flickering and whose face wore a wretched smile, and he roughly understood what had happened.

The Imperial Maiden Douluo looked at the suddenly appearing Shu Yan, his expression changed drastically, especially when he saw Shu Yan attack him directly without saying anything. His brows darkened, and then he said in a deep voice:

"Boy, this has nothing to do with you. This seat is an offering of the Holy Spirit Sect..."

Shu Yan's ice-blue soul power surged, interrupting the words the Imperial Maiden Douluo hadn't finished. A piece of the nearby sky was rendered ice-blue. He looked at the Imperial Maiden Douluo with cold eyes, and then said slowly:

"Even if the Sect Master of the Holy Spirit Sect were here in person today, there would only be a dead end." After saying that, Shu Yan stopped holding back. Countless layered ice thorns erupted from the ground, snowflakes drifted in the clear night sky, and the surrounding forest had already been frozen unknowingly. Standing on the frozen ground, the Imperial Maiden Douluo's face was ugly. He felt the terrifying aura on Shu Yan's body; even without seeing the soul rings, this aura still made him shudder.

He looked at Zhang Lexuan and her companion wrapped in countless ice crystals, and a flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes. The next second, an even more dazzling pink light bloomed, and in an instant, his figure disappeared from where he was. Shu Yan snorted coldly, a silver light flashed, and he also disappeared from where he was...

Above mid-air, two completely different auras constantly collided, and terrifying soul power fluctuations scattered. The surrounding mountains trembled, and the clear night sky was covered by dark clouds at some point. A fierce wind whistled, and a cannonball slid past Shu Yan, then plunged into the forest below, triggering a huge explosion and leaving a giant crater tens of meters deep on the ground.

The Imperial Maiden Douluo from the Sun Moon Empire was not only an Evil Soul Master Super Douluo but also an 8.5-level Soul Tool Master. What he had just fired was an 8th-level soul tool cannon, and the number of defensive and offensive soul tools of a similar type on his body was staggering. It could be seen that he knew very well what his combat power was, otherwise, he wouldn't have prepared so thoroughly.

"Boy, go to hell!"

A frantic roar came from above. The clothes on the Imperial Maiden Douluo's body were already damaged. He frantically drove the dozens of cannon barrels behind him, and countless soul tool aurora beams and cannonballs flew out, triggering a series of huge explosions below. Fire lit up the sky. Facing a life-and-death crisis, this Imperial Maiden Douluo chose not to hold back anymore. The fusion of soul tools and soul skills gave a sense of destroying the world.

After a burst of bombardment, the forest within a radius of more than ten miles was already ablaze with fierce fire. The Imperial Maiden Douluo coughed up a mouthful of black blood, his eyes and spiritual power searching everywhere. He had only collided with that young man for less than three rounds before he was beaten into serious injury. If it weren't for the existence of the body-protecting soul tool, he would have been seriously injured and dying. The remaining sanity made him understand the horror of the opponent. His attacks were mostly not to kill Shu Yan, but to create a possibility for his own escape.

Just as he threw out several 7th-level timed soul tool bombs to the surroundings again, in the firelight, Shu Yan, who had just been bombarded, was spotless. His palms had become as crystal clear as jade, like a piece of top-quality mutton-fat jade. But others might not be able to feel it, but the Imperial Maiden Douluo's pupils contracted uncontrollably at this time, and a look of extreme horror and distortion appeared on his face, because he felt how terrifying this palm was.

Powerhouses at the Super Douluo level and above have a hundred times more anticipation of crises than ordinary soul masters. Facing this palm that could no longer be avoided, at the last moment of his life, he roared: "No!!!"

Subsequently, his entire brain completely disappeared as if it had been melted, his spiritual sea was extinguished, and his life aura was completely cut off. A generation of Evil Soul Master Super Douluo fell into the hands of a sixteen-year-old boy just like that.

Collecting a head soul bone and a right arm bone dropped by the Imperial Maiden Douluo, Shu Yan threw his corpse into the Undead World.

The physical body of a powerhouse at the Super Douluo level contains extremely powerful energy, which is also very tempting to the several kings in the Undead World and can produce significant amplification for them. Shu Yan naturally wouldn't be sloppy.

A space channel opened not far away, and the Snow Empress brought several people out. She looked at the two soul bones in Shu Yan's hand, then commented:

"Your mastery of 'Great Cold No Snow' is somewhat beyond my expectations, but there are still some flaws in the details. After I guide you a bit more later, it will be solved. Su Tong, you are also an Ice Sky Snow Maiden soul master. I will teach you the 'Three Absolutes' later. So-called theory is not as good as practice. If you have time, you can find a soul master one level higher than you to practice. In pressure, you humans often learn things faster."

Shu Yan nodded. The reason he was willing to fight the Imperial Maiden Douluo was nothing more than to test what level his own strength had reached.

Facts proved that the Imperial Maiden Douluo was a piece of trash. This was the evaluation Shu Yan gave him, and it could be considered the best evaluation, because this guy really disappointed him too much.

If he had known this guy was trash, Shu Yan should have killed him instantly from the beginning, saving these two minutes of time.
