Chapter 44: Fierce Battle

"You discovered it?"

A trace of surprise appeared on Zhang Peng's face, but he soon laughed.

"That's true, it's normal for a Support Soul Master to be particularly attentive to Soul Guidance Devices."

"I came here because I have some interest in you, as well as that little Evil Soul Master girl over there."

"She is not an Evil Soul Master," Wang Xian'er retorted.

"That is not for you to say." This book is first published on Tiantiankan Novels for your entertainment, TTK. TW, providing you with an error-free and well-ordered reading experience.

The Scorpion Tiger suddenly kicked off the ground, rushing toward Xiadie like an arrow released from a bow, kicking up clouds of flying sand and stones.

"Do you think I don't exist?" The wings behind Wang Xian'er flapped, and countless feathers scattered from them.

Arrows entwined with life energy headed toward Zhang Peng's Martial Soul Avatar.

"You are not a Sacred System Soul Master, just a weak Life System Support Soul Master; even if you have realized some offensive means, it is nothing more than that."

Zhang Peng's Martial Soul Avatar erupted with purple energy, and a giant claw formed entirely of energy slammed down fiercely.

"Boom—"

The ground caved in, forming a crater several meters wide, and the flying stones created a violent shockwave that spread to the surroundings.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

Feathers and flying stones collided, emitting crisp sounds like weapons hacking at each other.

"Not good." Zhang Peng sensed something; his pupils contracted, and surprise flashed through his blood-colored eyes.

In his line of sight, Wang Xian'er had already broken through the explosion smoke and reached him, soul power compressed and gathered in her fist.

She threw a punch, and the soul power aura of a 96th Level Titled Douluo suddenly expanded.

"Bang!"

Zhang Peng retreated several meters and let out a muffled groan.

When he regained his composure and looked, his Martial Soul Avatar was covered in dense cracks.

"Impossible, how could this level of power damage my Martial Soul Avatar!"

Zhang Peng's voice trembled; although they were both at the 96th Level, the opponent was just a Support Soul Master!

"That is..."

The blue-purple flowers around Wang Xian'er, which were clearly not normal plants, caught Zhang Peng's attention.

That feeling was both familiar and strange.

"A Domain, it's a Domain!?"

Doubt, shock, bewilderment.

It was one thing for a Healing Spirit Master to use the Death Element, but how could she have a Death Attribute Domain?

Are you a Healing System Titled Douluo, or an Undead System Titled Douluo?

A Domain—even he did not have one.

And that death aura drifting over, which was absurdly pure.

Is this right?

When Wang Xian'er launched her attack earlier, Zhang Peng faintly sensed that all his attributes seemed to have weakened.

Especially his Martial Soul Avatar, which was actually almost shattered by a Healing System Soul Master with some combat capability.

"A twenty percent reduction to all attributes, with additional special effects on the Martial Soul Avatar." Based on the data in his mind, Zhang Peng quickly analyzed part of the answer.

"Not an Extreme Attribute Soul Master, so why does she have an Extreme Attribute Death Domain?"

Zhang Peng stared fixedly at Wang Xian'er, as if wanting to see right through her.

Having fought the opponent for so long, as a Dark and Poison Attribute Soul Master, how could he not see that Wang Xian'er's use of the Death Attribute was not very good?

It could not be an Extreme Attribute.

But her Domain was, without a doubt, an Extreme Attribute Death Domain.

He had originally thought that since they were both at the 96th Level, it would not be difficult to take down a Support Soul Master who had just fallen into depravity.

He had not expected that the problem now was not whether he could take her down, but that he had to consider how to retreat.

"Zhang Peng, were the souls of the Evil Soul Masters in the prison devoured by you?" Wang Xian'er's tone was grim, and her soul power surged out.

"I did not devour their souls," Zhang Peng said. "When I found them, both of them were already dead."

"I have no need to tell you why they were dead; in any case, I didn't kill them, so don't get the wrong idea."

"To me, Evil Soul Masters or ordinary Soul Masters, there isn't that much difference; at best, they are all just predators of Spirit Beasts, nothing more."

"Also..."

Zhang Peng's voice paused.

"I was once a person of the Star Luo Empire, but I haven't been for a long time. Don't even think about making me go back or anything like that; you don't have the qualifications."

"If I want to leave, you cannot stop me."

"Is that so?" A giant meteorite accompanied the voice as it smashed down from the sky.

Zhang Peng looked up into the distance; a meteorite that blotted out the sun grew larger and larger in his retina.

"Does a mere 92nd Level who thinks they are comparable to a 95th Level think they are a match for a 95th Level Titled Douluo?"

"Don't overestimate yourself; furthermore, this lord is a 96th Level Titled Douluo."

His Martial Soul Avatar dissipated, and Zhang Peng's right hand condensed a giant purple-black tiger claw, which he slammed down toward the meteorite falling from the sky.

"Boom—"

The meteorite shattered, and countless fragments flew everywhere.

Huang Jinxu appeared behind Zhang Peng.

A star-light blade with a trailing stream of light swept out, flying straight toward Zhang Peng's neck.

"Hmph, useless!"

Zhang Peng's soul power surged throughout his body, yet that feeling of weakness, like that of a drowning person, struck him once again.

Before he knew it, a field of purple flowers had appeared beneath Huang Jinxu's feet as well.

"Impossible!"

Zhang Peng was shocked and turned pale.

A blade of light condensed from stars grazed past Zhang Peng's neck; the chilling sensation of it passing by made the hairs on Zhang Peng's body stand on end.

Streaks of black light rapidly condensed and took shape, turning into countless needles flickering with black light, heading straight for Huang Jinxu's face.

Huang Jinxu had no choice but to retreat and block.

"There is also me."

A green orb of light attacked from the side, possessing a scorching Life Breath and intertwined with a certain amount of death aura, existing in an unstable state.

And in the process of unleashing the attack, Wang Xian'er was also rapidly closing in on Zhang Peng.

Likewise, beneath Wang Xian'er's feet, there was a small-to-medium-sized flower field area.

"Two identical Domains, what on earth is going on?"

Zhang Peng felt his brain was about to seize up; not to mention whether two identical Domains could even exist, even if they did, they shouldn't be appearing on Wang Xian'er and Huang Jinxu.

"Sixth Soul Skill—Jin Chan Tuo Qiao."

One of the passive defensive soul skills of Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng, it is triggered automatically when he receives an attack he cannot resist.

At the cost of consuming thirty percent of his soul power, he is instantly teleported to the place he wishes to go, with a range of one thousand meters in diameter.

The energy intertwined with Life and Death elements exploded at the location where Zhang Peng had previously been.

The impact energy descended, causing the ground surface to crack and churn, blasting out a deep pit nearly ten meters wide.

"Hoo, hoo—"

Scorpion Tiger Douluo gasped for air, his chest heaving, as he kept recalling the scenes that had just occurred.

A 96th level healing Titled Douluo, plus a 92nd level Titled Douluo, beating him, a 96th level Super Douluo, until he had to flee in a panic—is this scientific?

What Zhang Peng cared about most was how the two inexplicable Domains came to be, which was a discussion for later.

A Domain with the Extreme Death Attribute, and its effects were this outrageous.

Could it be that the Star Luo Empire had researched something capable of deploying a Domain through a Soul Guidance Device?

"No, impossible."

Even the Sun Moon Empire couldn't manage that, let alone the Star Luo Empire.

Think, you blockhead, think!

Where exactly did the problem arise?

He had thought that taking down Wang Xian'er would be easy, and even adding a Heavenly Fiend Douluo who boasted of being able to contend with a 95th level Titled Douluo wouldn't amount to much, but the result...

"Why do you possess the same Domain, and it is also a Domain of the same Extreme Death Attribute?" Zhang Peng was completely baffled.

Zhang Peng's gaze subconsciously swept toward the corner behind Wang Xian'er and Huang Jinxu, in the direction of the shivering Xiadie.

There was indeed a faint aura of the Dark Attribute, but it couldn't be her.

A little brat, impossible.

A Domain is a combat space formed by Spirit Power and soul power; the soul power portion can also be replaced by a certain amount of heaven and earth energy, but what about the Spirit Power?

This kind of rule-based Domain requires an unimaginable level of Spirit Power from the holder; bestowing a Domain upon others is simply unheard of.

A little girl who looks twelve or thirteen years old.

Is it possible?

Not to mention the issue of soul power, her Spirit Power shouldn't reach the standard either!
