Douluo: Wuhun Qimen Formation, control everything!

Chapter 113 War begins

Elder Xuan looked at Uncle Wang in his battle stance and asked, "Would you be interested in joining Shrek Academy?"

"Thank you for your kind offer, Elder Xuan, but let's leave it at that." Uncle Wang wiped the blood off his body and replied respectfully.

Elder Xuan nodded; he wasn't too surprised by Uncle Wang's attitude.

"Alright, now that everything's settled, we should get going." With that, he tucked the wine flask into his waistband, stood up, and walked towards the door.

Since the students had left, my tense nerves relaxed considerably.

One day later, at the east gate of Shrek City.

"Finally back!" Zhou Xuan, disguised as a merchant, looked at the three large characters on the city gate and felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

After all, Shrek City has the Limit Douluo in charge and so many Title Douluos, so it's no exaggeration to say that it's the safest place on the entire continent.

"Yes, we're finally home." Jiang Nannan looked at the familiar city gate in front of her, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her tired face.

Once they entered the city gate, they had already shed their disguises; at this point, whether they were disguised or not was no longer important.

Not long after they entered the city, several figures descended from the sky; it was Qian Duoduo, Zhou Yi, Fan Yu, and the others.

Even Zhu Kai came.

"Hahaha! Zhou Xuan, long time no see!" Qian Duoduo laughed and patted Zhou Xuan on the shoulder, then looked at him and said, "It's good to be back! It's good to be back!"

Although the group was exhausted from traveling non-stop all day, seeing the teachers brought them a sense of relief and made them feel much more relaxed.

"Let's go quickly and go back to the academy to rest for the night. The rewards for this competition will be distributed at the Sea God Pavilion later!"

Upon hearing the words "Sea God Pavilion," the eyes of several inner court disciples lit up.

Although they were already inner court disciples and usually cultivated on Seagod Island, they hadn't entered the Seagod Pavilion many times.

At this moment, upon hearing that they could visit the Sea God Pavilion, they couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Huo Yuhao, needless to say, has never even been to Seagod Island.

Zhou Xuan and Jiang Nannan, on the other hand, didn't show much emotion. Zhou Xuan was Mu En's disciple, and Jiang Nannan was Elder Song's disciple. The Sea God Pavilion members often came to visit and even had their own rooms, so there was nothing for them to be excited about.

"I need to go home first, you guys go ahead." He hadn't forgotten about Gou Dan back home after being away for so long.

“I’ll join you too.” Jiang Nannan naturally took Zhou Xuan’s hand.

Xiao Xiao, who was watching from the side, felt a little jealous.

"Okay! We'll be going now!" Qian Duoduo smiled at the two of them being so affectionate, then nodded and led everyone back to the academy.

Zhou Xuan then took Jiang Nannan home.

His residence was actually protected by Shrek people; otherwise, even in Shrek City, Qian Duoduo wouldn't dare let him wander around freely.

That was arranged by Mu En. After all, he was his own disciple, and since his disciple wasn't home, he, as the teacher, had to take good care of the house.

Dark night ancient forest.

Even if Elder Xuan and his group were slow, they would have arrived here by now.

As Zhou Xuan had predicted, aside from a few people keeping watch on them, they did not encounter any further attacks along the way.

It's unclear whether the three hotheads intimidated others or if they never intended to make a move in the first place.

But that's just right. If there really were an attack, Old Song and his group might have to reveal their identities prematurely.

The group strolled slowly through the woods.

Old Song, disguised as Jiang Nannan, squinted his eyes and said, "Hehe, Zhou Xuan's intuition was right. There really are quite a few Title Douluos lying in ambush around here."

"Looks like we old folks haven't made a move in too long. These brats have gotten too cocky!" Elder Xuan snorted coldly, holding his wine jug. He took a swig of wine and looked into the distance. "I wonder if those kids have made it back to the academy yet."

"It should be soon, Elder Xuan. Should we remove our disguises now?" Yan Shaozhe asked, frowning.

"No need. What if we scare these people away? If they dare to lay a hand on Shrek Academy, we'll make sure to leave at least a few of them alive today!" A glint of green light flashed in Old Song's eyes, revealing a hint of killing intent.

At this moment, more than three thousand meters behind them, Jing Hongchen was piloting a flying soul tool that floated in the air.

In front of them was a soul guide device resembling a radar, with a soul guide screen on it displaying a bunch of red dots, just like a radar chart.

He counted them; besides Shrek, there were more than twenty others.

"Hehe, looks like quite a few people have come this time. We're in for a fight."

He smiled at the red dot on the screen, then pulled out a level nine defensive item. To be honest, he hadn't expected there to be so many people.
In this situation, protecting his own life is the most important thing. After all, he is not one of those traditional soul masters. In terms of physical strength alone, he is not that strong.

Xu Tianqiong had also arrived, standing atop a giant tree like a feather, gazing out over the entire forest.

His target this time is a 100,000-year-old embryo, and he will not make the first move unless necessary.

As a former Shrek Academy student and also a classmate of Elder Xuan, he knew how powerful his old classmate could be if he really went berserk.

Besides, there were people lying in ambush in many places in this forest, including those from the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Fighting Spirit Empire, some Soul Master Academy members, and some rogue cultivators who were planning to try their luck.

Among these people, none were below the level of a Title Douluo.

As titled Douluo, they were all well aware of their peers' true intentions, but they all had a tacit understanding and lay in ambush.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend; they are now the united front.

However, no one made the first move. The one who did so would inevitably suffer Shrek's strongest counterattack.

No one can be sure they will survive Elder Xuan's counterattack.

So everyone is waiting!

Meanwhile, on a hillside more than two thousand meters away from them, several members of the Body Sect were lying in ambush.

"Sect Master, we can't make a move yet!" Jin Peng advised from the side. He could see that no one wanted to be the first to take the lead at this time, and he naturally didn't want to either.

Poison couldn't kill him and he was getting a little impatient.

"You're the sect leader, and I'm the sect leader?" Poisonous Immortal glared at Golden Roc beside him. "What kind of behavior is this, cowering like this?"

"But Sect Master, even if we manage to steal the items, we'll be the next Shrek! We'll inevitably be besieged and become the target of everyone's attacks!"

"What's there to be afraid of? They're just a bunch of insects, nothing more than a Xuanzi. Do you think I'd be afraid of them?" Du Busi flicked his hand, his soul power surging.

He then jumped suddenly, and a large crater instantly appeared in the ground.

If Poison Doesn't Die, it leaps high into the air, its entire body grows larger, and green poison tattoos cover its whole body.

"Come at me if you dare!" he shouted, and flew towards the Shrek team.

Those hidden in the shadows all exchanged glances: "Finally, someone has made a move!"

All that's left is to wait for the opening battle to end, and then it's up to each person to rely on their own abilities.

A series of booming sounds echoed through the sky, and Poison Undying's voice resounded like thunder in the forest. Even ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts were terrified and scattered in all directions upon hearing this voice. "Xuanzi! Hand over the item!" Poison Undying's soul power transformed into a thick green pillar of light.

Soon, two more figures appeared behind them.

Poison Undying chuckled: "What? Aren't you afraid of becoming the target of everyone's criticism?"

Jin Peng gave a wry smile: "Sect Master, please stop joking. You've already gone in, how can we, as members of the Body Sect, back down?"

Then, a great golden light shone from his body, and he grew much larger, calmly surveying his surroundings.

"Besides, you're right, they're just a bunch of insects! Even if they all come at us, my Body Sect isn't afraid!"

Elder Gu's arms, which were now significantly stronger, stood beside Du Busi, clearly indicating the same intention.

The corners of the mouths of the people hiding all twitched.

Although they may be a bit timid, isn't it a little disrespectful to say it so bluntly?
Xu Tianqiong didn't seem to care much about the poison's inability to kill him, since they were all old guys from roughly the same era.

He chuckled and shook his head: "That old poison monster is still the same, but I didn't expect him to come in person."

"Poisonous Old Monster! I didn't expect you to be here too!"

Elder Xuan's deep voice rang out in mid-air, and a bright yellow light shot into the sky.

The Taotie martial spirit possessed him, and the clothes on his upper body were torn.

"What? You also want a soul beast embryo?" Elder Xuan touched the storage ring on his hand.

Although the item was no longer on him, his action still attracted everyone's attention.

"So what if it is? Are you going to hand it over yourself, or am I going to come and take it from you?"

"What arrogance! If you have the guts, come and try. Targeting Shrek Academy like this, aren't you afraid of being purged later?" Elder Xuan flew into the air, his eyes showing no fear whatsoever.

He wasn't the only Title Douluo from Shrek Academy present!
"It's just Shrek Academy! So what if we robbed them? Do you think my Body Sect is afraid!?"

Upon hearing the words "Body Sect," the pupils of those hiding in the shadows all contracted.

Each person who saw the three people who were poisoned to death already had a guess in their hearts.

But when I actually heard those three words, my heart was still filled with turmoil.

"Moreover, today I'm not only going to snatch the soul bone embryo, but that student in your team with the Body Spirit Martial Soul should also be a disciple of our Body Sect, right?"

"Bullshit! What do you mean, a disciple of your Body Sect? He's a student of Shrek Academy!" Elder Xuan hadn't expected that this old guy would actually set his sights on Yuhao.

"Such arrogance! Let me see if your fists are as big as your words!"
"Jin Peng! I'll hold off Xuan Zi, you take Huo Yuhao back!" He roared, and a dense, dark green light suddenly shot into the sky, dyeing it dark green.

The spirit rings on his body shone brightly, and his physical form instantly increased more than tenfold.

Even Elder Xuan was somewhat alarmed by the sight of three 100,000-year-old soul rings.

However, he was not intimidated by the poison that could not be killed.

"Then give it a try!" An equally powerful aura erupted from him.

A monster with the body of a sheep, eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth, human claws, and a pair of huge bull horns appeared out of thin air, directly using its Martial Soul True Form - Taotie!
The two instantly engaged in battle in the sky.

A series of deafening roars suddenly exploded in the sky, and the color of the sky changed because of the battle between the two.

Elder Jin and Elder Gu's soul power surged, and their aura was in no way weak.

It reached down towards "Huo Yuhao".

At this moment, as if receiving a signal, the people hiding in the shadows all made their move at once.

In a one-on-one fight, they certainly wouldn't be a match for Elder Xuan and Poison Undying, but these students are definitely the best bargaining chip.

Trading these students' lives for the storage ring in Elder Xuan's hands would be far easier than fighting him.

"Attack!" Loud shouts echoed through the forest.

Auras of titled Douluo surged into the sky.

Aside from the battlefield against the Sun Moon Empire, it's rare to see so many Title Douluos fighting.

At this moment, everyone has only one goal: to capture Shrek's students alive.

However, Jing Hongchen did not make a move because his soul guide detector told him that these students seemed to be terrifyingly strong.

Xu Tianqiong didn't make a move; he disdained using such methods to get what he wanted.

In an instant, the Shrek Academy team was surrounded by twenty Title Douluos.

The situation seemed to have reached a dead end.

Strangely, however, they didn't show any signs of fear on their faces.

Apart from Jin Peng, most of the titled Douluo present were not at the level of Super Douluo.

This means that they were no match for Song Lao and his two companions.

Although Wang Bo had great confidence in the strength of Elder Song and his group, he couldn't help but twitch when faced with so many Title Douluos at the same time.

He really wanted to fight, but his reason told him that now was not a good time to fight.

With so many Title Douluo's attacks falling at the same time, no matter how strong he is, he can't possibly withstand it.

"Xuanzi, do you still want to fight me? Your students are in danger!" Du Busi revealed a hint of mockery on his face.

"Old man, I didn't expect you to use tricks now?" Xuan Lao, who was in mid-air, noticed the commotion below and a mocking look appeared on his face.

"Hahaha! This wasn't arranged by me. It's probably because Shrek Academy has such a bad reputation that so many people are attacking them!"

Du Bu Si thought Elder Xuan would be nervous, after all, he knew that Elder Xuan regarded his disciples as his own life.

But now, there wasn't a trace of panic on Elder Xuan's face.

"Well? Hand over the goods, and I'll guarantee your safety!"

"Dream on!" If the people below were really students, he might actually hand over the stuff.

But now?

"If you want to fight, then fight!" Spatial rifts appeared around the two of them.

However, Elder Xuan had no intention of stopping, and his eyes were filled with a stern look as the body of the Taotie Divine Ox swelled up.

"You're really crazy!" Even Poison Undying never expected Elder Xuan to act so impulsively.

With a cold snort, he clasped his hands together, causing the space around Elder Xuan's body to violently distort.
One after another, enormous black holes appeared, tearing at Elder Xuan's body relentlessly.
