Douluo Dalu: Starting With Tom Cat
Chapter 315: We Were Just About to Fight to the Death
CHAPTER 315: CHAPTER 315: WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH
Outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a full seven Titled Douluos, leading a full ten thousand soul masters, were eyeing the castle before them like tigers.
"Proceed according to the original plan. When it is late at night, we will launch a surprise attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and catch them off guard."
Yue Guan’s slightly feminine voice sounded.
"Her Majesty the Pope is just too careful. With the martial soul fusion skill of you and me, plus the other five great Douluos and ten thousand soul masters, to fight a mere Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can be done with ease."
Gui Mei said sinisterly, his words full of the meaning of having victory in his grasp.
The seven Titled Douluos looked at each other and smiled. There was nothing wrong with these words.
However, confidence was confidence, but the few of them had not underestimated them. On the contrary, their eyes were very grave as they looked in the direction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
This was the number one sect under the Clear Sky Sect. And it was also guarded by Chen Xin. The style of Chen Xin fighting one against many in the Soul Master Tournament was still vivid in their minds.
What’s more, the Chen Xin of that day had not yet had Ning Fengzhi’s assistance. If the continent’s number one auxiliary was added to him, hiss... his combat power would simply be off the charts.
So Bibi Dong, for the sake of stability, and also after Shen An had said that he could destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family with just a mascot...
She had decisively pressed all the remaining Titled Douluo power on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect here.
Gui Mei looked into the distance. How far was the vision of a Titled Douluo? He saw the patrolling disciples on the castle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Soon, he saw a strange phenomenon. A disciple was actually carrying a fruit platter and snacks.
’Are they so leisurely?’ Many question marks arose in Gui Mei’s heart. Immediately, his gaze then moved with it.
Immediately, Gui Mei’s aura was stunned for a moment. Yue Guan, who had a tacit understanding with this old partner of his, couldn’t help but look over.
"Old Ghost, what’s wrong?"
"Look, is the one on the castle the Second Priest?"
Gui Mei said in a hoarse voice.
"How is that possible? How could the Second Priest go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Yue Guan said with a smile, his gaze also following.
The other five great Titled Douluos also followed.
On the city wall, an old man in a gold robe with silver embroidery and with both hair and beard white was playing a game of chess with the white-robed Chen Xin on the city wall.
The expressions of the two were warm, with a feeling of meeting a worthy opponent.
Yue Guan: ???
The other five great Titled Douluos: ???
No, we were just about to fight to the death. What on earth is the Second Priest doing?
Something was wrong. Out of ten parts, twelve were wrong.
"Old Ghost, what should we do now? How did the Second Priest run off to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Her Majesty the Pope doesn’t know." Yue Guan’s face carried worry.
The face of Gui Mei, hidden in the shadows, became uncertain.
In the entire Spirit Hall, who didn’t know that the Second Priest was the lackey of the Great Priest, Qian Daoliu?
Now that the Second Priest had come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, this was definitely an extremely bad signal.
"We can’t wait until night to go up. We have to figure this matter out now. Is this Second Priest just trying to stop Her Majesty the Pope from making a merit, or does he have other purposes?"
"The seven of us will press up together and go and find out!"
Gui Mei said sharply. The other Titled Douluos nodded one after another.
In an instant, seven streams of light sped towards Chen Xin’s direction.
Chen Xin’s brow raised. "The people have come. Then it will be up to Senior Golden Crocodile to handle it later."
The Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded slightly. He was now over one hundred and fifty years old, his age even higher than Qian Daoliu’s. For Chen Xin to call him senior was also appropriate.
"Don’t worry. With this old one here, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will surely be safe and sound today. It’s just that my Young Master in the future will still need the power of your esteemed sect."
Chen Xin also smiled. This was a matter that had been discussed long ago.
"Second Priest, you’ve come at just the right time. At this critical moment of the Spirit Hunting operation, let us all make a move together to take down Chen Xin!"
Gui Mei said first, wanting to set the nature of this matter.
In an instant, petals, a ghost shadow, a snake spear, and other attacks struck at Chen Xin.
A brilliant light shone in the Golden Crocodile Douluo’s eyes. His entire body was covered in a layer of golden scales. His left foot suddenly took a step forward, and his two hands fiercely pressed down.
A strong golden light suddenly burst out, like a wall, blocking these seven offensives.
Chen Xin, feeling the Golden Crocodile Douluo’s vast soul power, sighed in his heart. Spirit Hall’s foundation is really deep.
Just based on the performance of the Golden Crocodile Douluo at this moment, he was even a notch inferior.
The seven from Gui Mei’s side, seeing the Golden Crocodile Douluo make a move to block them, their hearts suddenly sank. It’s bad.
They still wanted to continue to make a move but saw the Golden Crocodile Douluo snort coldly. Nine soul rings surged out.
"How dare you!"
A huge crocodile phantom appeared from behind him. The sixth soul ring on his body instantly shone brightly. The huge phantom seemed to have turned into a solid entity, roaring up to the sky.
In the roar, the seven Titled Douluos all felt a tremor in their qi and blood. At the same time, they were shocked by the Golden Crocodile Douluo’s dominance.
Gui Mei’s face was ugly as he said, "Second Priest, what is the meaning of this? Please give us an explanation. Spirit Hall has been planning for today for a long time, and all of this is also for the future of Spirit Hall."
"Hehe, just fighting and killing. Don’t you have some human feelings in your hearts?"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as one of the three upper sects, has already decided to surrender to my Spirit Hall. Such a powerful assistance, you all actually want to obstruct it!"
The few from Gui Mei’s side were instantly suspicious and uncertain. They simply couldn’t believe their own ears.
No, you at least have the momentum of being the number one sect under heaven. You just surrendered like this? And for such a big matter, you kept it so tightly under wraps. Isn’t this deliberately watching them make a joke of themselves?
"What, you don’t believe it? Chen Xin, you come and tell them," the Golden Crocodile Douluo said quietly.
Chen Xin said with a smile, "Spirit Hall has contributed to the continent. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is naturally willing to conspire in great matters with it. In the future, the affairs of Spirit Hall will be the affairs of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Yue Guan was so shocked he raised an orchid finger, pointing at the two from Chen Xin’s side. "You~~ you..."
"What ’you’? This old one’s words have been said. Why haven’t you gotten lost yet!" The Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a cold voice.
To use "get lost" on seven Titled Douluos was clearly not appropriate. It was just that the Golden Crocodile Douluo, whether in terms of age or strength, clearly had this qualification.
The seven from Gui Mei’s side all had ugly faces, yet they could not do anything.
After all, facing the level ninety-eight Golden Crocodile and the level ninety-seven Chen Xin, even the seven of them did not have the confidence to take them down.
It was even not impossible for them to capsize in the gutter.
What’s more, in the dark, there were still a Gu Rong and a Ning Fengzhi.
"Let’s go!" Gui Mei shouted sharply.
They were also helpless and could only leave.
When they left, the hearts of the seven great Titled Douluos were practically dripping blood. They had brought a full ten thousand soul masters. Just the mobilization and concealment of personnel had cost countless. In the end, it was this kind of result.
The ten thousand lurking soul masters, watching the seven great Titled Douluos return in a dejected state, and also hearing the announcement to retreat, were all dumbfounded.
No, we’ve put on such a grand formation and were just about to make a merit. You’re telling me this trip was just sightseeing?
"Your Excellency the Ghost Douluo, aren’t we going to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" a bold Soul Douluo asked.
The Ghost Douluo fiercely glared. "What’s with all the talk? Just obey the order!"
The Soul Douluo was instantly as quiet as a cicada in winter and hurriedly ran off to arrange for the lower-level soul masters to retreat.
"Old Ghost, such a grand formation, and now we’re returning without any merit. If Her Majesty the Pope finds out, will we have a good time?"
Gui Mei’s face showed a bitter look. "But what can we do? That’s the Second Priest. And behind him, there is surely the meaning of the Great Priest."
As he spoke, he let out a fierce sigh. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has surrendered to our Spirit Hall. Now Her Majesty the Pope should be having a headache."
Yue Guan’s face was also grave. "You mean to say... the Young Master?"
Gui Mei silently nodded. The other few Titled Douluos also had a gloomy look on their faces.
They understood Gui Mei’s meaning. For the Spirit Elder Hall, which had never asked about worldly affairs, to make a move was for no other reason than to stand up for one person.
And this time, the surrender of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was precisely to build up momentum, to build up momentum for Qian Renxue’s future seizure of power.
Yue Guan also sighed. "Now we can only hope that Yan Chixia’s side can succeed. Although exterminating a sect cannot be compared with a surrender, it can still add a merit for Her Majesty the Pope."
...
In the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, Shen An watched this scene of brothers killing each other with a melon-eating look on his face.
"You are really sensible," Shen An did not hide his disdain.
But that Yu Luomian seemed not to have heard it at all. On the contrary, he put on a look of gratitude.
"What words from my lord? To serve Spirit Hall is my honor. This old thing has never known his place. Now that I am in power, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family will become the sharpest knife in the hands of Spirit Hall."
Shen An was noncommittal. On the contrary, he said, "The disciples of your family seem to have a lot of opinions. You go and deal with them. If you can’t do it well, then I’ll have to come."
Shen An, although his heart was filled with disgust for someone like Yu Luomian, as long as he showed enough strength, this person would surely be the most loyal of running dogs.
Shen An’s heart was kind. He couldn’t bear to see the great Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family completely exterminated. Thus, he had decided to give them a chance, a chance for the vast majority of the disciples to live.
The disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family were very much in a state of collapse at this time. Not just because Yu Yuanzhen, who had carried the glory of the family for decades, had died, but also because of Yu Luomian’s backstabbing.
Fighting within the same room—how heartbreaking this was.
"Second Master, why did you kill the First Master? Are you worthy of the glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family!"
A Soul King with blood-red eyes shouted.
Beside him were even more so disciples continuously chiming in, verbally attacking Yu Luomian.
Looking at the more than ten disciples around, a cold light was born in Yu Luomian’s eyes.
He understood that he had to properly deal with these first eyewitnesses. After that, he would lead the family to surrender. This was where his value lay. Otherwise, Shen An would not let him have a good time.
At the same time, he also did not want the family’s strength to be too damaged. These would all be a part of his power in the future.
Yu Luomian’s eyes were filled with tears. He walked towards the family disciples step by step, his mouth saying with pity, "You don’t understand. This is the result of a discussion between me and Big Brother long ago."
"Spirit Hall is too powerful. It’s really not something we can resist. I had no choice but to take this last resort. Only without the Titled Douluo-level Big Brother will Spirit Hall be willing to recruit us."
All the disciples’ eyes were abnormally angry. "There are only dragons who die in battle, no dragons who surrender!"
"You don’t understand. I am doing all of this for the family’s consideration. So just let me bear this bad name," he said as he walked.
At this time, Yu Luomian was already quite close to them. In an instant, he transformed into a dragon. His eighth soul ring shone with great light. The moment he started, it was a killing move.
In an instant, electric light flashed. A dragon’s roar sounded. Amidst a great roaring sound, the more than ten unprepared disciples were all killed by Yu Luomian.
At the same time, Yu Luomian also returned to his human form. Looking at the bloodstains on his body, he frowned slightly. Then his old face bloomed into a flower.
"My lord, you rest first. The subsequent matters, just leave them to me."
Shen An looked at Yu Luomian, his heart saying, what a ruthless character.
The reason why the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family was called a family was because most of its disciples were related. To say that these people had been watched grow up by Yu Luomian was not an overstatement.
But Yu Luomian’s killing blow was so decisive.
However, this had on the contrary given Shen An other thoughts.
’It seems I have to find a chance to have a good "chat" with this Yu Luomian,’ Shen An thought to himself. Immediately, he said, "Is there a person named Yu Xiaogang in your family? Where is this person? Summon him for me."
Yu Luomian hurriedly lowered his head. How could he not know this person? The shame of the family. And he had almost abducted his exceptionally talented daughter.
"Yes, yes. But this person is not in the family now, but is in the Heaven Dou Empire."
He’s not here?
Shen An expressed some regret. It seemed that today he could not send Yu Xiaogang to be reunited with his father.
"Alright, you can go."
Shen An gave the order. Yu Luomian immediately withdrew. Since his big brother had died so quickly, then the hard bones in the original family would surely not insist on fighting hard.
He was going to integrate the family’s power and make this foundation his base for rising to the high levels of Spirit Hall.
For a whole night, the firelight in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family was constant, and there were also miserable cries one after another.
This was Yu Luomian, with his trusted followers, clearing out the die-hard loyalists of his big brother from when he was alive.
These disciples had never dreamed that before the enemy had even attacked, they would first be met with the great saber of their own Second Master.
The original one thousand eight hundred-odd members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, at this time, only one thousand three hundred were left after the killing.
It had to be said that this family still had many hard bones. A pity that their Second Master was the softest one.
"Tianheng, oh Tianheng, you are really lucky," a thick killing intent was in the eyes of the blood-stained Yu Luomian.
He had searched for a round but actually hadn’t found Yu Tianheng.
Yu Tianheng was, after all, of the eldest grandson’s lineage. Although the matter of him killing his own big brother, besides Shen An and the Spirit Kite Douluo, no one knew now. But it was still better to cut the grass and remove the roots.
Beside him, a trusted follower suddenly said, "Second Master~~ ahem, First Master, the people from Spirit Hall have already been led into the great hall according to your instructions."
Yu Luomian nodded and showed a smile. "Alright. You can withdraw. I will handle the subsequent matters myself."
In the discussion hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, Yu Luomian, with his clothes stained with blood, burst in and directly slid on his knees to before Shen An.
"My lord, the rebels of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family have all been dealt with. In the future, this subordinate will be the sharpest knife in Her Majesty the Pope’s hand. My lord has also made a great contribution."
Shen An looked at the kneeling Yu Luomian before him with astonishment. This Yu Luomian had really, time and time again, refreshed his view of a person’s lower limit.
A Soul Douluo, and the second-in-command of a great family, could actually kneel so naturally.
The Spirit Kite Douluo just lightly pursed her lips. She had not expected that the situation would develop so smoothly.
Shen An had just injured Yu Yuanzhen with one sword strike, and Yu Luomian had decisively jumped to his face and had even personally wielded the knife to clear the obstacles for Spirit Hall.
She had originally thought it would be a great battle with some twists and turns. The result was that not a single one of their people had died, not even an injury was seen.
To this, she could only sigh with emotion: Yu Luomian, what a good dog!
