Douluo Dalu - The Story of Sheng Feilong Chapter 224

"Try your best not to die, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue . " These were words that Sheng Feilong spoke with utmost sincerity . The Soul Fusion Skill Tang Wulin and Gu Yue are using was too powerful for him to block and even with the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon's strength, he wasn't certain to be able to survive it .

This is why he was relying on the second Soul Skill, one he had never used before, nor did he know how powerful it truly was . After he obtained it and got back control over his own body back then, he understood how the Soul Skill worked as was normal when one obtained a new Soul Skill, but he couldn't be sure of its power .

The only thing he knew was what he had heard and seen from Song Weihan; The latter used his own memories to let Sheng Feilong experience what he experienced when fighting the berserk Netherworld Putrefaction Demon together with She Meixiao and the others Elders of Daedalus .

Back then, the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon killed a Hyper Douluo of Daedalus, Elder Li, and devoured him whole to create this Soul Ring . This wasn't any normal Soul Ring, thus it was impossible to gauge its strength from the Soul Ring itself .

However, after Elder Li lost his life, She Meixiao came up with a plan to trick the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon; She used Yuanen Yehui's ability to summon a demon through the Gates of Hell, used it as bait to draw the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon's attention to it and have the other Titled Douluo's kill it .

Her plan worked; The Netherworld Putrefaction Demon in its berserk state, instantly ignored everything else and only focused on destroying the summoned demon as soon as it noticed the latter . During that time, it didn't attack normally however; It used the second Soul Skill, the one made from Elder Li's power and the same Sheng Feilong was using right now to attack the demon .

If even the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon with all of its power and rage made use of this Soul Skill to annihilate another demon instead of attacking it directly, just how powerful does the Soul Skill have to be?

Sheng Feilong took a deep breath and clenched his fists . The sheer amount of compressed energy inside this pitch black spear was causing him to feel fear; If he failed to control it, the amount of destruction could cause wasn't some Sheng Feilong could or even wanted to imagine . Yet, it was the only method he could think of to block Tang Wulin's and Gu Yue's Soul Fusion Skill .

The energy around the stage was growing more and more rigid, to the point where Ye Xinglan and Yue Zhengyu could barely resist it . Tang Wulin and Gu Yue were staring down at Sheng Feilong from amidst the gigantic dragon phantom . Both of them stretched their hands out towards him, causing the dragon to open its maw, with all of their amassed energy being condensed into it .

Moments later, a massive beam of seven coloured light bathed the stage in its light, shooting directly at Sheng Feilong . There was no room for him to dodge, no room to even think . He could only take a deep breath a throw the spear in his hand towards the incoming beam of light . 'Second Soul Skill; Demon Vanquishing Spear . '

A pitch black flash of light shot through the stage, piercing through the seven coloured beam without any resistance, causing it to implode upon itself, dissipating into the air in a split second . The crowd beneath them was shocked into silence, yet before they could react in any way to what just happened, the black spear impacted with the head of the giant dragon .

At that moment, it was as if time itself had stopped for a split second; As if all light in this world had suddenly vanished . Without any sound, amidst the pitch black darkness, an ash-grey explosion suddenly encased the whole stage, rapidly spreading outwards and threatening to wash over the whole Sea God's Lake .

The crowd was unable to react as the shockwaves hit them, casting through Shrek Academy's Inner Court like a storm, yet the explosion didn't engulf them . The first to come back to their senses, Lan Muzi and Tang Tingmeng, grew ghastly pale for a moment before spotting a few figures at the edge of the stage, casting a barrier around it and stopping the explosion from growing outwards .

"Elder Zhou!" Lan Muzi couldn't help but cry out in shock; At the edge of the area best visible from their position stood the Scarlet Dragon Douluo Zhou Shi, one of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion's Elders . Moments later, the two of them also notice other Elders at various positions around the stage, all damming in the ash-grey explosion of energy, stopping it from laying waste to the Inner Court .

About ten seconds later, the explosion finally vanished, slowly revealing the carnage that was taking place within . The whole stage had vanished, obliterated in its entirety, leaving behind not even ashes . Flying on the same spot where he stood before was Sheng Feilong, still transformed into the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon .

Opposite of him, shielding Gu Yue and Tang Wulin stood the Sea God Pavilion's Master, Atlas Douluo Yun Ming; His clothes were ripped, his outstretched arm slightly bloodied while his hand showed scorched wounds . His hair was ever so slightly dishevelled, while his expression showed utter shock . Behind him were Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, both of them having lost consciousness with ghastly pale expressions, behind held up into the air by Yun Ming's Soul Power, that was also shielding them .

Next to him, on one side, floated another Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, shielding Ye Xinglan, who's face was similarly ghastly pale as she stared at Sheng Feilong in terror . On the other side stood Yue Zhengyu, his expression the same as Ye Xinglan's, also being shielded by another Elder of Shrek Academy .

All of them, including the Elders that had created the barrier around the stage before, were staring at Sheng Feilong with shocked expression, some more grave than the others . Before Sheng Feilong could say something, a light laughter was heard from besides him, revealing She Meixiao with a calm smile on her face . "I guess that marks six for you now, no? That should be enough . "

Although she was smiling and her voice was gentle, Sheng Feilong could notice the urgency in her voice; If he were to go further now, be it in combat or with the insults, She Meixiao wouldn't be able to keep Shrek's Elders in check .

Seeing his master like this, Sheng Feilong nodded, reverting back to his normal self while breathing out with a long sigh . Thankfully, his clothes were still intact; The uniforms of Daedalus members were made to be able to bear the strain of much more extreme transformations .

During all of this, Yun Ming didn't say a word . He only lightly waved his hand, causing new clothing to appear over his arm, then turned his attention to Gu Yue and Tang Wulin . He knew about their ridiculously powerful Soul Fusion Skill and expected them to win the moment they used it, yet they were crushed to an extent where he himself had to intervene to safe them .

"Senior, are the two of them alright?" Sheng Feilong suddenly asked loud enough for Yun Ming and the other Elders to hear, causing the former to glance at Sheng Feilong . His expression was somewhat tense, obviously not wanting for Tang Wulin and Gu Yue to be seriously hurt . Yun Mind only shook his head with a indifferent expression . "They're only severely exhausted; Nothing to fret about . "

He didn't say anything else and lifted his hand, slowly nurturing tang Wulin's and Gu Yue's bodies with his Soul Power to help them recover . All of them returned to the shore, Yun Ming and the Elders bringing Tang Wulin and the rest of the Seven Monsters to the Holy Spirit Douluo, Yali, was already awaiting them .

Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao reunited with Huang Jialong and Yuanen Yehui, both of which were still slightly pale from being exposed to the uncontrolled aura of the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon; While Sheng Feilong's Spirit Essence usually wasn't a problem when they worked together, if Sheng Feilong didn't control it to not affect them, they were barely able to stand its aura .

The Holy Spirit Douluo was giving each of the Seven Monsters a quick check-up to make sure they were really alright, but could only smile slightly in relief; Among them, Xie Xie was injured the worst, and even he would be completely fine in about a week without any help from her . Xu Xiaoyan and Jiang Wang were only knocked out and exhausted from using up their Soul power, while Ye Xinglan and Yue Zhengyu were faring even better .

The same went for Tang Wulin and Gu Yue; The two were only utterly exhausted from overdrawing their Soul Power, Spirit Power and, in Tang Wulin's case, bloodline energy . Nothing serious, as they would only need to rest for a while before being able to fight normally .

Surprisingly, though, there was another person by the Holy Spirit Douluo's side, a beautiful young woman with silver hair and an anxious expression, who was holding Tang Wulin's hand . No one stopped her from getting into contact with Tang Wulin, yet Yun Ming showed a displeased expression, while the Holy Spirit Douluo smiled .

She Meixiao waited for the Holy Spirit Douluo to finish her examination before smiling at Yun Ming . "If there is nothing else, we will take our leave today . I'm sure Your Highness Atlas Douluo won't make things difficult for us in regards to the destroyed stage, considering that it was your Seven Monsters who first challenged my disciple . . . "

Yun Ming's expression turned soured and he replied in a cold voice . "No, of course not . It was Shrek Academy's students who showed such disrespect towards an honoured guest of the academy . How could I make things difficult for you . "

After his words, She Meixiao's smile grew wider; She was pleased – Although Yun Ming agreed to her plan of using Sheng Feilong's strength to humble Tang Wulin and the others, things had gone far beyond that point . She Meixiao bowed towards Yun Ming, still smiling brightly . "Then, we will excuse ourselves here . Best of luck for everyone participating in the Fated Date Festival . "
