Chapter 214 The Appearance of the True Form Douluo and the Dragon Emperor Douluo
As soon as Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, an overwhelming pressure, like a tangible tsunami, crashed down from two directions!
Ahead, a dark green light shot into the sky, its violent aura tearing through the clouds. The towering figure of Poison Undying stood proudly in the void, surveying his surroundings before letting out a deafening laugh, "Hahaha! What a rare sight! The hypocrites of Shrek Academy, the evil spirit masters from the gutter, have all gathered together today! Very well, very well indeed!"
His laughter roared like thunder, carrying the domineering and tyrannical power unique to his original martial soul, which diluted the pervasive evil aura to some extent.
Behind Yan Shaozhe, another kind of extreme pressure descended silently. It was not as flamboyant and unrestrained as Poison Undying, but it was far more profound and terrifying. A tall old man silently floated in mid-air. His face was as ruddy as a baby's, his silver hair was neatly styled, and his long, snow-white eyebrows drooped to his cheeks. His hands were casually behind his back.
He didn't release the slightest fluctuation of soul power, yet he remained completely unfathomable.
Yan Shaozhe's heart sank to the bottom. The appearance of Du Busi was already an unexpected disaster, but the mysterious old man behind him made him feel a chill run down his spine.
With his cultivation level of 95 Super Douluo, there are very few beings in the world whose depths he cannot perceive at all! Each one is a legend that can shake the continent.
The silver-haired old man's gaze swept calmly across the entire area, finally settling on Poison Undying. His voice was steady yet carried a hint of the vicissitudes of time, "Poison Old Monster, I didn't expect your old bones to still be in good shape. Back then, your elder brother, Poison Must-Death, insisted on fighting against Mu En, only to meet his end. Today, you reappear here, do you think that with Mu En gone, there's no one to see you off and reunite with him?"
Upon hearing this, Poison Undying's pupils contracted sharply, and the arrogance on his face vanished instantly, replaced by extreme solemnity and disbelief. He stared intently at the old man, his throat dry. "You—you old ghost, could you be—?"
Seeing the fierce expressions of Du Busi and Yan Shaozheru as they faced their enemies, the silver-haired old man nodded slightly, a smile that seemed to be both reminiscing and wistful on his face. "Time passes in the mountains, but a thousand years have passed in the world. I have not appeared in the world for many years, and my old friends have passed away, and half of my acquaintances have also died. Even Mu En has left before me, which is truly a pity."
He sighed softly, a sigh filled with complex and indescribable emotions—nostalgia, regret, and a hint of imperceptible loneliness. His gaze shifted to Yan Shaozhe, becoming calm and serene. "I've made an exception today to come down from the mountain, to see if Mu En's chosen successor has truly inherited his teachings. Remember this well, I am Long Xiaoyao."
Long Xiaoyao!
These three words were like three thunderbolts from the heavens, striking Yan Shaozhe and Du Busi hard in the hearts of both!
Yan Shaozhe's body trembled violently, and the color drained from his face instantly. He almost blurted out, "Dragon Emperor Douluo? You...you're still alive?"
Even Poison Undying gasped in shock, the surging dark green light around him fluctuating erratically. He exclaimed, "Dark Holy Dragon Long Xiaoyao? You old monster, you're still alive!"
Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao! Dragon God Douluo Mu En!
This is the legendary Black and White Twin Holy Dragons that once illuminated an era, representing the two ultimate peaks of light and darkness in dragon martial souls!
Their power far surpassed that of ordinary Title Douluos, becoming a symbol of an era. Everyone believed this Dark Sacred Dragon had long since vanished with the passage of time; who could have imagined that he would reappear here, in such a way!
What stirred up Yan Shaozhe's heart even more was why such a legendary senior, who should have been a model of righteousness and a friend and foe of his teacher, would appear with an evil soul master like Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo.
Yan Shaozhe forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, took a deep breath, straightened his robes, and bowed respectfully to Long Xiaoyao, "Junior Yan Shaozhe greets Senior Long. I never imagined that I would be able to see your celestial face in my lifetime."
Long Xiaoyao looked at Yan Shaozhe, a faint trace of reminiscence and complexity flashing in his eyes. He sighed softly, a sigh that seemed to travel through a hundred years. "It is I who dare not, and have no face to see Mu En—in this life, I have wronged him so much. If I hadn't sensed that he was truly gone, I might still be spending my remaining days in that dark and hopeless place. He's gone, and only now do I realize my regret. In the end, I didn't even have the courage to apologize to his face and admit my mistakes honestly. Alas—"
This long sigh conveyed endless regret and the unbearable weight of the past.
Yan Shaozhe's heart skipped a beat, sensing something unusual. He cautiously spoke, "Senior Long, I've heard my teacher mention that you and he are close friends. Although your martial spirits are very different, one bright and one dark, both are exemplars of righteousness. But what are you doing today—"
His gaze swept meaningfully over Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo, in the distance.
Long Xiaoyao shook his head, interrupting Yan Shaozhe, a bitter look on his face. "Mu En indeed never told you the details of what happened back then, even until his death. He was saving face for me. Enough, the past is the past, there's no point in saying more."
His expression returned to calm, yet carried an undeniable resolve. "Today, out of respect for Mu En, I will spare your lives. If the poison doesn't kill you, so be it. Leave now, and we will all be at peace."
Although Long Xiaoyao's words were calm, they carried an air of dominance over the world. While he appeared casual about Poison Undying, he was far from dismissive. A true martial soul is entirely different from an ordinary one; he might not care about ordinary second awakenings, but even he had to be wary of the highest level, the Gold-grade awakening.
With his level 98 cultivation and the legendary desperate methods of his Gold-level awakening, once the poison is fully unleashed, even as a level 99 Limit Douluo, he will not win easily, and the price will be one he is unwilling to pay.
Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Senior Long! You are a reclusive master, highly respected and virtuous. Do you really intend to disregard your status and engage in such an act of bullying the weak?"
At this moment, he could only hope that this legendary figure could still retain the last bit of the integrity and demeanor of his predecessor.
Long Xiaoyao turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao and said calmly, "I have been entrusted with a task, and I must fulfill it faithfully. The debts I owe must always be repaid. I have no other request today. Have that child hand over the ring, and you may leave."
Because of the existence of the poison that cannot be killed, Long Xiaoyao did not intend to make any three-move agreement with Huo Yuhao to test his strength. In any case, he would never really harm Mu En's disciple, so he would just find a way to let them leave.
"snort!"
However, no sooner had Long Xiaoyao finished speaking than a cold snort, filled with boundless anger and disdain, rang out like a thunderclap.
Poison Undying's body suddenly surged with dark green light, like a green sun, forcing the dark aura back several feet!
He stepped forward and said, "Long Xiaoyao! You are far too disrespectful to my Body Sect and to my Poison-Undying Sect. Huo Yuhao is someone my Body Sect must have, and what he possesses is also our sect's property! You want to covet it? First, ask these fists of mine if they will allow it!"
Poison Undying's attitude towards the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons was completely different. He hated Mu En for killing his brother, but his hatred was also mixed with a trace of respect for the strong.
As for Long Xiaoyao, his heart was filled with nothing but contempt and disdain!
Regardless of his character, Moon's stance is at least correct. He is a member of Shrek Academy and will stand on Shrek's side for life.
As for Long Xiaoyao, he was born in the Heavenly Soul Empire! In his youth, he was also nurtured by the Imperial Academy and even represented the Heavenly Soul Empire in the Soul Master Competition, winning unparalleled glory. It might be an exaggeration to say that the Heavenly Soul Empire devoted itself to his upbringing, but it is absolutely true that they provided him with knowledge, enlightenment, and a platform.
However, after achieving fame and success, he drifted away and became indifferent to the rise and fall of the country, which is a sign of forgetting his roots!
Now, he's even associating with evil spirits like Scorpion Tiger Douluo. As Yan Shaozhe just said, Zhang Peng was instructed by Jing Hongchen of Mingde Hall. Long Xiaoyao came with him, and their stance is self-evident—they are practically acting as accomplices to evil, standing on the opposite side of the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent!
The blood of the brutal war with the Sun and Moon Empire thousands of years ago has not yet dried. In the eyes of Poison Undying, such behavior is nothing short of treason and defection to the enemy, an unforgivable crime!
He could fight or retreat with Moon, depending on his stance and personal grudges.
He felt nothing but contempt and a determination to fight Long Xiaoyao to the bitter end! To expect him to compromise with such a person? Absolutely not!
