Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 343 The Pledge of Allegiance: Tang Wulin's Crisis
The atmosphere in the restaurant seemed to freeze. Erming stared in shock at Qian Gu Qitian, while Daming remained silent.

Qian Gu Qi Tian calmly picked up the tea on the table and took a small sip.

Soon, Da Ming's eyes concealed their shock.

Not long ago, when news of the artificially created ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit spread, Da Ming guessed that it was the work of the Soul Beast Lord of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The information revealed here makes it clear that there is a significant bond between the Spirit Pagoda and that person, or at least that person has infiltrated the Spirit Pagoda organization very deeply.

But he never imagined that such a relationship existed between them!
Da Ming frowned slightly and said:
"Human, this joke is not funny."

It's kind of funny that the Emperor Qitian is so great throughout the ages.

"A joke? Since I've managed to get here and utter the words 'Star Dou Great Forest,' isn't that enough to prove my identity?"

"and--"

A slight smile curved the corners of Qian Gu Qi Tian's lips.
"A soul beast falling in love with a human doesn't seem like such an unacceptable thing, does it?"

Upon hearing this, Da Ming shook his head:

"This is different."

He still couldn't believe that the Lord of Soul Beasts would fall in love with a human.

Qian Gu Qi Tian seemed to have lost his patience: "Whether you believe it or not, the facts are right here. If you two still doubt my identity, I have reason to suspect that you are dissatisfied with my Star Dou Great Forest."

"You two shouldn't forget your current identities..."

Warning...

Da Ming's eyes darkened, but he still made no move.

Erming, standing beside him, seemed to sense the threat in Qian Gu Qitian's words. His copper bell-like eyes flashed with a fierce light, as if a faint scarlet light was surging within them.

"Since you are the chosen man, your strength must be extraordinary. Then let me have a go at you!"

Erming grinned, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

Logically, this terrifying aura should have been enough to overturn the entire restaurant, but in reality, nothing happened; only the snow-white tablecloth trembled slightly.

A bronze fist, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, hurtled straight toward Qian Gu Qitian's face.

Nanali, standing next to Qian Gu Qitian, changed her expression and instinctively reached out to block the punch for him.

As a spirit-type soul master, she was not good at close combat. Facing Erming, whose true form was the Titan Giant Ape with extreme strength attributes, she was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

But she still took action without hesitation.

Qian Gu Qi Tian moved even faster. His expression turned cold, and he pulled Nanali, who was trying to block his way, into his arms. He then swung his left hand out with a powerful palm strike.

His left sleeve ripped open inch by inch, revealing his jade-like skin underneath.

A faint golden light shimmered on the bulging muscles, as if they were covered with a layer of gold leaf.

"boom!"

Even though Qian Gu Qi Tian and Er Ming had both withdrawn their soul power and were only colliding with their physical bodies, a terrifying shockwave still erupted around them as their fists and palms clashed.

The table in front of the two could not withstand the weight, and the expensive wooden dining table shattered, the snow-white tablecloth ripping open with a sizzling sound.

Just as the collision was about to cause even greater damage, Qian Gu Qi Tian's body flashed with silver-white light, and the four people who were originally in the restaurant immediately entered a silver-white space.

Da Ming's expression changed slightly, clearly shocked by Qian Gu Qi Tian's methods.

Erming was equally surprised.

He never expected that Qian Gu Qi Tian would be able to withstand his punch.

Qian Gu Qi Tian knew that he had to show some real skill when facing the Ming Dynasty and the Second Ming Dynasty.

The best way to face these two former gods, Da Ming and Er Ming, as a king is to defeat them in their area of ​​expertise.

Qian Gu Qi Tian's body had already been strengthened by Mu Ye using the Body Sect's secret techniques. The physical enhancement brought by the dual bloodlines and the amplification brought by the Mountain Dragon King's torso bones allowed Qian Gu Qi Tian's physique to reach the god-level during his titled Douluo period.

Now, Qian Gu Qi Tian's strength has reached level 95, and his physical strength has also been further enhanced!

"You think you can measure me?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the spine behind Qian Gu Qi Tian shimmered with an earthy brown light, and the power of the Mountain Dragon King further amplified his strength.

At the same time, Qian Gu Qitian also pushed the Body Sect's secret technique to its limit. His body, which had already reached the strength of the Flawless Golden Body, shone with golden light, and the surging blood energy made Qian Gu Qitian's power rise to a new level!
The situation between the two, who were originally evenly matched, changed in an instant. Qian Gu Qi Tian tightened his grip on Er Ming's fist slightly, and a sound of bones being squeezed reached the ears of everyone present.

Are you kidding me? !

Erming was terrified. He stopped dragging it out and overloaded the Titan's power. The surging Titan's blood caused a layer of blood mist to appear around his body.

Can……

That's too late.

Click~
The sound of bones cracking was clearly audible, and a sharp pain struck, causing a fine layer of sweat to immediately appear on Erming's forehead.

The pain itself wasn't a big deal to him, but the feeling of his confidence being shattered was what bothered him more.

Qian Gu Qi Tian flung away Er Ming's crippled fist, then with a clean and swift turn and side kick, sent Er Ming, who was as big as a small mountain, flying.

Meanwhile, Da Ming, who was watching from the sidelines, did not help Er Ming up; his attention was entirely on Qian Gu Qi Tian.

Just now, he had tried to use his power to break through the silver space of the Eternal Heaven.

The outcome was as he had expected.

It can't be broken!

The Ming Dynasty had not seen such stable spatial power for a long time. Even in a physical plane like Douluo Continent, there was no such stable space.

This boy is so terrifying!
Qian Gu Qi Tian released Nanali from his embrace and calmly looked at the Ming Dynasty before him:
"Why, do you believe it now?"

Da Ming slowly nodded:
"To have such strength at such a young age, even Tang San and Huo Yuhao in their prime were not as terrifying as you."

"Tang San? Huo Yuhao?"

Qian Gu Qi Tian frowned; his first thought was that the old man was insulting him.

But then I thought, that's probably not what they meant.

After all, the two most outstanding figures in the Douluo Continent today are Tang San and Huo Yuhao.

Qian Gu Qi Tian clapped his hands and warned, "Since you've chosen to cooperate with the Star Dou Great Forest, try to avoid mentioning Tang San's name. Your friendship with Tang San isn't a good thing."

"What...does this mean?"

Da Ming was somewhat puzzled.

Qian Gu Qi Tian did not answer Da Ming's question. He glanced at Er Ming, who was getting up from the ground, and said indifferently:
“If it weren’t for the fact that you have a relationship with one of my wives, I could let you die again like you did 20,000 years ago just because you attacked me.”

Ok?
The words "Equal to Heaven Through the Ages" caused a hint of confusion to appear in Er Ming's eyes, whose Dao heart was shattered. He, who was not very bright to begin with, found it difficult to understand the meaning behind "Equal to Heaven Through the Ages".

Da Ming, however, seemed to be deep in thought.

Since they both understood each other, Erming simply stopped thinking about it and said directly:
"I can't beat you, I admit defeat. But I don't understand what you're saying."

Given Qian Gu Qitian's temperament, he would have long ago scattered the ashes of someone who dared to attack him, especially someone who was his enemy.

But he still remembered that he had promised Yuanen Yehui that he would help her solve the problem of her second martial soul and resolve her inner conflict.

To resolve this misunderstanding, it is necessary to get the other party to reconcile with the Titan family.

There are many ways to reconcile, but having the patriarch Erming personally mediate is the simplest, most direct, and quickest method. "You have a bloodline inheritance on the Douluo Continent."

what? !

Da Ming's eyes widened, his originally fierce gaze replaced by a look of ignorance.

The eternal Qitian remained silent, then continued to remind him:
"Do you remember a human girl named Xiong Xiaoling?"

Erming's eyes were empty, and a memory that was almost forgotten gradually surfaced in his mind.

"The little girl picking mushrooms..."

The clear singing voice echoed in his ears, and the image of that pure and lively girl gradually became clear in Erming's eyes.

He has descendants...

But wasn't he abandoned?

Erming still clearly remembers that after he confessed his identity as a soul beast to the human girl, he left the wooden house he had built himself the next day.

So, in a fit of rage, he destroyed everything there; all the former beautification vanished and was forgotten by him.

But why would he have descendants...?

Erming remembers clearly that in his long, bestial life, he had only ever had a relationship with that girl.

Qian Gu Qitian vaguely remembered that there was a small misunderstanding between Er Ming and the girl named Xiong Xiaoling.

I know where to find the answer to your question.

"Qian Gu Qi Tian" spoke.

Erming said sincerely:
Please be sure to let me know.

"That's a story for another time."

Qian Gu Qi Tian waved his hand and got to the point.

"Since that's the case, I'll be blunt. Na'er and I have an irreconcilable hatred for Tang San, the kind that's irreconcilable. As Tang San's former friends, we don't trust you at all. Not to mention, your former sister Xiao Wu is Tang San's wife. So, we don't trust you."

"Do you know who it would be if it weren't me who came this time?"

Da Ming frowned and asked, "Who?"

"Di Tian, ​​Xiong Jun".

"Eternal Heaven is at peace," he said calmly.

Da Ming and Er Ming both fell silent.

Although they had once reached the god-level, they had not touched the god-level for many years due to the suppression of the consciousness of the Douluo Continent plane.

Without the assistance of immortal spiritual energy, it would be difficult for them, whose true forms are soul beasts, to reach the god-level.

In their current state, facing Di Tian and Xiong Jun, whose bloodlines are stronger than theirs, they might actually lose their lives here.

After careful consideration, Da Ming asked in a deep voice:

"What do you want us to do?"

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven said, "Tang San's biological son is still on Douluo Continent. Go and kill him once."

Both Da Ming and Er Ming were somewhat shocked.

"How, how is this possible?!"

"Nothing is impossible, you two. Make your choice," Qian Gu Qi Tian said calmly. "Of course, you can choose to refuse. For my wife's sake, I can let you off this time."

Yuan Enhui has a lot of influence.

Da Ming steeled his heart and said directly:
"Alright, we brothers will pledge our loyalty."

"There's no time like the present, let's go."

Qian Gu Qi Tian is not one to procrastinate; it's time to put Xiao Ye Hui's matter on the agenda.

Erming looked somewhat embarrassed and said:
"Wait a minute, it's not that I don't want to, it's just..."

He waved his limp, lifeless hand toward the eternal Qitian; the broken bones of his hand had rendered it unrecognizable.

With a wave of his hand, Qian Gu Qi Tian channeled a surge of vital energy into Er Ming's hand, instantly healing his nearly shattered hand to its original state.

Upon seeing this, Da Ming gasped in shock.

Today, the Eternal Heavenly King has demonstrated three extreme abilities.

Ultimate power, ultimate spatial control, ultimate healing power...

The Ming Dynasty could not even imagine how powerful the true strength of the Eternal Qitian was.

Looking at his right hand, which was completely healed, Erming immediately smiled with joy.

But soon, the smile on his face disappeared.

Killing Xiao Wu's child as a pledge of loyalty...?

Qian Gu Qi Tian already knew the new location of Shrek Academy and Tang Wu Lin's whereabouts. With his spatial jump, he arrived at the outskirts of Soto City from Mingdu in almost no time.

It was evening, and Shrek Academy, which was already quite deserted, had dismissed students early.

Inside a small room, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Lizhi were in a meditative state.

The conditions at Shrek Academy are harsh these days, and expensive training equipment like the Soul Guidance Mimicry Device is out of the question.

Of course, this is only temporary.

Because the Tang Sect will soon send over the necessary facilities and equipment for Tang Wulin's cultivation.

At this moment, the three of them were using the most primitive meditation cultivation method to circulate the peerless skill "Mysterious Heaven Skill" that had been passed down for 20,000 years, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies and accumulating their soul power little by little.

Suddenly, Tang Wulin, who was cultivating, stopped cultivating after completing a full cycle of his soul power.

He slowly opened his eyes, and after discovering that his two companions were both in a meditative state, he slowly exhaled and then tiptoed out of the room.

Tang Wulin gently closed the door, then glanced at it again, feeling rather guilty.

He was heading somewhere else, not somewhere else, but... to Cai Yue'er's office.

Although Shrek Academy is in such a state of decline, Dean Cai Yue'er is still extremely busy.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Shrek Academy is, after all, an organization that has been passed down for more than 20,000 years, and it has some assets that even they themselves have almost forgotten.

And now, Cai Yue'er is searching for these assets little by little.

Shrek Academy must achieve financial independence if it wants to revive.

Instead of relying on the Tang Clan for everything, as it is now.

Cai Yue'er didn't want Shrek Academy to become a vassal of the Tang Sect.

The dormitory was some distance from the principal's office. Tang Wulin felt a surge of excitement at the thought of the wonderful feeling of being with Dean Cai, and his pace quickened involuntarily.

Suddenly, Tang Wulin, who was halfway there, felt a tightness in his heart as a sense of crisis enveloped him.

The Golden Dragon King bloodline within his body began to boil.
