Chapter 338 I Avoid His Edge?
Amidst the swirling snowflakes, the slowly approaching blue figure gradually became clearer.
The newcomer was dressed in a simple dark blue outfit, his blue hair fluttering gently in the wind and snow. His face was excessively young, even possessing a youthful handsomeness. It was none other than Tang Chuan!
"Little friend Tang Chuan!"
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Ning Fengzhi cried out in surprise.
His voice was filled with the excitement and sob of someone who had escaped a desperate situation, and the light of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda seemed to brighten a little because of its master's emotions.
At this moment, Dugu Bo was still lying at the bottom of the pit, barely able to lift his eyes to look at the figure in the swirling snow. He grinned, his blood-stained mouth trying to laugh, but the laughter aggravated his injuries, and finally turned into a rather sentimental sigh.
"Hey kid, you finally made it back."
Yang Wudi's grip on the Soul-Breaking Spear loosened slightly, and Niu Gao's taut, iron-tower-like body also relaxed a little; both of their eyes shone brightly. Even the Sword Douluo, whose aura was faint in the ruins, seemed to sense something, his fingers twitching almost imperceptibly.
In this desperate situation, the true savior has finally arrived!
On the other hand, the atmosphere at the Spirit Hall suddenly plummeted to freezing point.
"It's...it's him?!" The Serpent Spear Douluo's voice was hoarse, his grip on the serpent spear tightened, and he unconsciously glanced at Qian Renxue beside him, his brows furrowing slightly.
As for the Porcupine Douluo, the poisonous mist around him surged uneasily, and he subconsciously took half a step back.
At the same time, Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo exchanged a glance, both seeing the deep fear in each other's eyes. They knew the terrifying strength of this young man better than anyone else present.
"Second Brother!"
Despite his injuries, Demon-Slaying Douluo urgently addressed Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was standing not far away: "This boy is Tang Chuan, the one we reported on before! He's incredibly strange; his strength has increased unbelievably, and he has close ties with the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest! The situation has changed today; perhaps we should temporarily..."
Upon hearing this, Thousand-Pound Douluo added in a deep voice, his tone solemn:
"Second Brother, his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is unpredictable, capable of both healing and attacking simultaneously—unheard of before. And judging by his aura, he's much stronger than the intelligence reports suggest. We mustn't underestimate him. Perhaps we should retreat for now and reconsider our strategy after the Pope appears?"
However, upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes showed no seriousness, but rather an undisguised contempt and displeasure. He, the second elder of the Spirit Hall, a peak level 98 Douluo, who had dominated the continent for decades, was being advised to back down before a mere teenager?
Immediately afterwards, he slowly turned his head, his vertical pupils sweeping over Qianjun and Jiangmo, his voice as firm as metal, carrying an undeniable majesty and arrogance:
"Temporary withdrawal? Waiting for Bibi Dong?"
"Hmph! A mere brat, barely out of his teens, manages to conjure up some impressive ice and snow with a few lucky encounters, and expects me to avoid his sharp edge? Below level ninety-eight, all are but ants."
"I'd like to see how many moves you, this supposedly legendary brat, can withstand!"
His arrogant words were indeed resounding.
In his view, any field or talent is futile in the face of the qualitative change in soul power and the power gap brought about by absolute level.
Tang Chuan's appearance was merely adding a slightly more special ant to this encirclement and suppression effort.
Beside Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, was experiencing extremely complex emotions. She stared blankly at the increasingly clear face in the wind and snow, the face that had once stirred her heart. Her heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, both cold and painful.
My fingertips dug deep into my palm, sending a slight stinging sensation through me.
But it was nothing compared to the turmoil and bitterness churning in my heart.
Why did he come...? He really did come.
To save these people, I became completely opposed to the Spirit Hall and to myself.
Qian Renxue's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. Reason told her that she should be on high alert and think about how to deal with this powerful variable, but her emotions grew wildly like weeds, making her want to escape from this place and not want to see him in this state or from this position.
"Bibi Dong...it's all because of that stupid woman, Bibi Dong!"
Qian Renxue cursed through gritted teeth in her heart.
"If it weren't for her radical schemes and stubbornness, which pushed the Spirit Hall, Tianxing Academy, and Tang Chuan to such an irreconcilable point, why would I have to face such a heart-wrenching choice?"
On one side is the Spirit Hall that nurtured him and the mission flowing through his veins; on the other side is…
She dared not think any further and could only force herself to look away, her nails digging deeper into her flesh. Only this real pain could keep her rationality at bay.
"You little devil, die!"
Just then, Golden Crocodile Douluo roared, and his already imposing body erupted once again with a terrifying ripple of soul power.
This time, he didn't even bother using soul skills. He simply pushed his soul power and physical strength to the limit as a level 98 peak Douluo. He transformed into a golden light that tore through the wind and snow, and charged towards Tang Chuan, who had just landed, in the most ruthless and direct manner!
The phantom of the Golden Crocodile King roared and solidified behind him, and the oppressive feeling brought by its pure power made the space itself groan under its unbearable weight.
This impact was enough to level a small hill!
Golden Crocodile Douluo wanted to crush this special ant in front of everyone in a crushing way, to defend his unquestionable dignity as a peak Douluo!
Faced with this deadly collision that would make any titled Douluo tremble with fear, Tang Chuan didn't even flinch. Just as the golden streak of the Golden Crocodile Douluo was less than ten feet away from him, and the violent wind was already making his clothes flutter, Tang Chuan was completely unfazed.
hum!
Two vast auras that defy description.
It rose from Tang Chuan's body without warning and then spread outwards!
Immediately afterwards, a flash of light appeared, and two figures solidified and materialized as if they had been born from ice crystals, one on the left and one on the right of Tang Chuan. The space rippled slightly.
On the left stood a woman dressed in white, with silver hair cascading like a snow waterfall, an exquisitely beautiful and aloof face, and eyes like ancient, cold stars. She simply stood there, and the surrounding snowflakes seemed to come alive, dancing joyfully around her, the very space seeming to freeze slightly in her presence.
On the right is an Ice Jade Scorpion with a graceful and slender body, its entire body resembling a carving of the finest jade, exuding an aura of nobility and dominance!
They are the Snow Empress and Ice Empress, two of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North!
This sudden turn of events left everyone present, including the charging Golden Crocodile Douluo, in a state of shock and disbelief.
"What is this? A 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form and a human woman?"
The level of those two auras seemed to completely surpass their understanding of soul beasts!
Just as everyone's thoughts were sluggish, Tang Chuan suddenly moved.
He didn't even move his feet; he simply raised his right index finger towards the golden light that was now within reach, and then gently tapped it on the head of the Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"The Realm of Eternal Freeze!"
Suddenly, a dazzling ice-blue light shone brightly in the Ice Emperor's jade-like scorpion eyes! This wasn't a soul skill, but rather a domain of innate talent—absolute control over the ultimate ice! (End of Chapter)
