Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 367: The Furious Zhongli Wu

"One Qi Great Handprint!"

"Bang!" As the hurricane hand descended, Nightmare Douluo forcibly suppressed the discomfort throughout his body, unleashing several defensive spirit barriers above his head despite the erosion of blood. Unfortunately, Wu Xuan's hurricane hand wasn't just any ordinary attack; it was a compressed release of the Wind of Annihilation.

Following a series of crisp sounds, the soul guide barrier exploded, and the hurricane hand smashed firmly into Nightmare Douluo.

A low groan came from his throat, and Nightmare Douluo's face turned extremely pale in an instant. The next moment, blood gushed out of Nightmare Douluo's mouth like a fountain.

He was severely injured by the blow and on the verge of death. Before Nightmare Douluo's body could hit the ground, Ye Guyi's sacred sword pierced through his broken body again.

Nightmare Douluo falls!

"Hmph! Damn you." Looking at the two corpses, Ma Xiaotao seemed to vent her anger, and two phoenix flames fell directly on the corpses of the two evil Douluo.

As the bodies turned to ashes, three strange bones floated out from the two corpses.

These two evil soul masters, Title Douluo, exploded three of the most common thousand-year soul bones. Surprisingly, there wasn't even a single ten-thousand-year soul bone.

"How dare you be a sect elder with just this little stuff!" Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but belittle him.

Zhang Lexuan didn't show any disdain when she saw this. She raised her hand to collect the three soul bones and said with a smile, "Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones are such a rare treasure that not every Titled Douluo can possess. It's already a great harvest to have this."

"Senior Sister, in this case, let's give these three soul bones to the academy." Ma Xiaotao said.

"Yeah!" Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly. She didn't need these three soul bones.

"Wu Xuan, let's go quickly. The Holy Spirit Cult has lost two Titled Douluo. Zhongli Wu will definitely go crazy." Ye Guyi stepped forward after calming down the surging soul power in his body.

"Why are you leaving? The ultimate goal of this operation has not been achieved yet!" Wu Xuan said as he put away the hurricane battlefield that covered the entire venue.

Upon hearing this, the three women looked at Wu Xuan in surprise, not understanding what other goals he had not yet achieved.

"Haha, we are here to kill the evil soul master as a by-product. What I really want to do is to destroy the foundation of the Xishui League in Mingdu." Wu Xuan explained with a smile.

"How to destroy it?" Ye Guyi asked curiously.

"Gambling is not allowed in the Sun-Moon Empire's Continental Soul Master Elite Competition, so there is this Soul Instructor Elite Competition. You can imagine that among the three major gambling games, the funds injected into one round of gambling disappeared. You can imagine the attitude of the nobles of the Sun-Moon Empire towards the Xishui League in the future." Wu Xuan couldn't help but sneer as he spoke.

Hearing this, the three women suddenly realized that this outcome was not difficult to predict. The bureaucrats and nobles who had lost all their capital would not care about whether they were evil spirit masters or not. In their rage, they would definitely demolish the Xishui League headquarters.

"Hurry up and make sure to pack up and take away all the funds injected into the Xishui League gambling." As he said this, Wu Xuan handed a starlight sapphire storage soul guide that was as big as a heart-protecting mirror to Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao.

"Yes!" The two women nodded and then left quickly. As for the mecha in the starlight sapphire, Wu Xuan had placed it in the Poseidon Pavilion the day he became the Pavilion Master.

"As for the two of us, pack up all the rare metals needed for the competition and take them away!" Wu Xuan said to Ye Guyi who was standing aside.

"No problem!" Ye Guyi nodded, and then with the cooperation of Wu Xuan's Silver Scale Griffin's left leg bone, dozens of tons of rare metals were loaded into the undead demiplane.

A bountiful harvest! The four of them swept through a mountain of gold soul coins and savings cards, all of which were packed away. Even without counting, it was estimated to be worth 500 to 600 million. This clearly demonstrates the wealth of the bureaucrats and aristocrats in Mingdu. Unbeknownst to Wu Xuan and the other three, their impulsive surprise attack had directly destroyed the credibility of the three major black markets, effectively shutting down the first Soul Master Elite Competition before it even officially began.

After Wu Xuan and his three companions quietly returned to the Mingyue Hotel, they saw through the soul guide screen that the Shrek team, who had participated in the first match, had just finished their match. This showed how swiftly Wu Xuan and his four companions had acted.

Afterwards, in order to avoid suspicion, the four of them came to the viewing platform of the competition venue one after another. It was also here that Wu Xuan saw the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, Zhongli Wu, and the prince Xu Tianran again.

The two of them couldn't help but look down on Wu Xuan when they saw him looking like he had just woken up.

Wu Xuan sneered at this. "I hope you, the Crown Prince, can still sit tight after hearing the news of the disappearance of over 500 million gold soul coins. And you old dog, I hope you can remain calm and not be so angry that you die after the deaths of two powerful direct descendants."

Afterwards, Wu Xuan led the victorious Shrek team away after watching two games.

As expected, the Xishui League incident happened before noon.

Xu Tianran’s residence!
"Who! Who on earth dares to commit a crime in broad daylight in my Mingdu?" After receiving the news, the furious Xu Tianran almost stood up in anger.

On the other side, Zhongli Wu was so angry that his whole body was shaking. The death of two of his direct subordinates at the same time had touched his fragile and sensitive nerves.

You know, he wasn't that furious when Lich Douluo died, but instead felt like he'd made a killing. This was because Shrek's only Ultimate Douluo was dying.

"Investigate! Go and investigate for me! Make sure to find out who did this." Zhongli Wu's voice was hoarse, like a wild beast that could explode at any time.

It must be said that Xu Tianran's methods were indeed extraordinary. If Xu Tianran had not responded and handled the situation in a timely manner, a gathering that almost turned into a riot would have taken place directly in Mingdu.

As for how the subsequent deaths of thousands of bureaucrats, nobles, and wealthy individuals were handled, Wu Xuan didn't bother to inquire. Perhaps it was because of Wu Xuan and his four companions' earlier appearance that the Sun-Moon Empire's investigation team and the large number of crazed evil spirit masters hadn't even suspected the Shrek group in the slightest.

The second round of the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition has ended, and forty-two teams have entered the third round. Among them, thirty-two teams will be able to enter the round robin. And that will depend on how they perform in the third round.

In this match, Wang Qiuer, in her first solo appearance, achieved a feat of one-on-seven. Wang Qiuer's actions propelled the Shrek team's reputation to its peak. After all, a vice-captain possessed such prowess, let alone a captain who rarely appeared in public.

In the early morning, the cool air blew through Mingdu under the rising sun, bringing bursts of chill.

Now is indeed the most comfortable season in Mingdu. Today's weather is particularly good. The sky is high and the wind is clear. It is very pleasant to walk on the streets of Mingdu, which is full of soul guidance technology, and breathe in the slightly cold air.

Mingdu seems to be experiencing endless prosperity in the past few days. No matter morning or evening, most streets are filled with bustling people.

The Continental Youth High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition has finally entered the round-robin stage. The previous chaotic situation due to the large number of participating teams has completely ended. In the round-robin competition, strong teams will begin to compete with each other. Early in the morning, a large number of people have gathered in the suburbs where the competition venue is located, waiting for the start of today's exciting competition.

The rules of the round robin are obviously not as straightforward as the results of the previous knockout rounds. All thirty-two teams entering the round robin will be divided into four groups, with eight teams in each group competing in a single round robin. In other words, each team has to play one game with the other seven teams in the same group.

In the round-robin tournament, two teams will play four games each day, and the next day, the other two teams will play four games each in the morning and afternoon. The entire round-robin tournament will last about fourteen days. The top two teams in each group will advance to the final stage.

In the finals, eight will advance to four, four will advance to two, and the finals will be held in three rounds to determine the final champion.

Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, and Tianlong Sect were all placed in Group 1. The other four teams that made it through the elimination rounds were naturally no pushovers; this was truly a group of death!
