Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 72: Killing Xu Cang with a Stick, Holy Spirit Douluo Apologizes, and the Furious Long Yeyue

The two of them were arguing with each other, and none of Yu Jiutian, Ning Yun, Gu Yue, or Tang Wulin interrupted.

Compared to Ning Yun who was bewildered and didn't know why these two people became enemies, Yu Jiutian could vaguely guess what was going on.

"This is a feud between the two of them, don't interfere."

An unmistakable soft voice came into the ears of Yu Jiutian and Ning Yun.

His Majesty the Holy Spirit?

The two looked at each other subconsciously.

The old man above the competition stage noticed the nods from the senior officials on the rostrum. He said solemnly, "The second exhibition match will be between Shrek Academy and East Sea Academy."

"Please release your martial spirits and spirit rings within half a minute!"

In order to avoid the war ending as soon as it started, the old man received instructions from higher-ups to slow down the process.

Hearing this, Nan Liujing sneered, and a buzzing sound was heard. The next moment, a scene appeared that caused tens of thousands of spectators in the Tianhai Stadium to exclaim in surprise.

Three deep black soul rings, emitting a deep dim light, slowly rose from under He Jing's feet.

Three ten thousand year soul rings!

In an instant, the pupils of Xu Cang, Yu Jiutian and even Ning Yun suddenly shrank together, and the local audiences on the East Coast were also shocked by this scene.

Not to mention the East Coast, which is barren in number of soul masters, even in Shrek City, a soul master with three ten-thousand-year soul rings is a rare existence.

"Xu Cang, you colluded with the evil spirit master and attempted to assassinate me. Since you failed, you must bear the consequences of your failure."

Nan Liujing said something shocking. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed in the air. Dark blue lightning appeared and the space twisted, turning into a dark green dragon-shaped stick.

"Boom!"

With a slam of the hammer into the ground, the stage shook, lightning flashed, and cracks appeared everywhere.

The terrifying murderous intent was completely locked on Xu Cang.

A dragon soul shadow could be vaguely seen emerging behind Nan Liujing. The fierce and domineering pressure almost condensed into substance, and the air was obviously vibrating.

All the thunder-attribute soul masters in the entire stadium, unless their cultivation is far superior to Nan Liujing, will surrender before the Thunder Dragon Soul that is less than half a step to the extreme.

Wow.

Nan Liujing's words shook the entire Tianhai Stadium like a tide.

Collude with evil soul masters and assassinate?

Xu Cang's pupils suddenly shrank as he noticed tens of thousands of astonished eyes on him. He forced himself to remain calm and said in a deep voice, "Stop slandering me here. I'm a Shrek student. How could I possibly collude with an evil spirit master?"

The audience looked at Nan Liujing on the left and Xu Cang on the right, not knowing who to believe.

Nan Liujing said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. Once I kill you, the truth will be revealed. Referee, please announce the start of the match."

The old man hanging in the air was obviously a few beats slower to react.

How did an exhibition match turn into a life-and-death battle to settle a grudge?

"Let's start the game as he said." A voice that could not be ignored fell into his ears.

The old man's heart was shocked, his eyes changed, and he said unexpectedly: "The game begins!"

Xu Cang wanted Yu Jiutian and Ning Yun to help him, but was surprised to find that they had already retreated to the edge of the competition stage.

"Damn it."

Xu Cang's eyes flashed with panic. He suddenly thought of a possibility. Why was he arranged to play in a three-on-three match, and why did he happen to be facing Nan Liujing? Perhaps the academy had already discovered this and specially arranged this confrontation.

A sharp murderous intent emanated from him, undisguised. Xu Cang's heart sank, and he had no time to dwell on it. His arms bulged with muscles, and he grasped through the air with both hands. The heavy Mysterious Nether Tortoise Shield clashed to the ground, its pitch-black surface rippled with dark ripples, and his first soul ring, Mysterious Nether Shock, fiercely activated!
The deep waves shaped like an air shield swept out in all directions, accompanied by a faint roaring sound.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of spectators, Nan Liujing thrust out with a stick, and thousands of stick shadows appeared around his body, falling on the air shield as densely as raindrops.

The Xuanming Zhen, which was powerful enough to knock the opponent away or even stun him temporarily, was now like a layer of ice crystals condensed on a winter lake. After a crackling sound, it shattered on the spot and turned into countless soul fragments.

"how come!"

Xu Cang was shocked. Even if Yu Jiutian came, he would have to release the wrath of thunder to strengthen himself before he could defeat him with his Xuanming Zhen.

Nan Liujing's footsteps flashed with lightning, leaving a shadow that made it impossible to tell where he was. As he approached Xu Cang, he gripped the Coiling Dragon Staff tightly with both arms. The floating dragon scales on it faintly visible, absorbing and exhaling the lightning elements between heaven and earth, and with the sound of a passionate dragon roar, he swept the Coiling Dragon Staff out.

It was like a dragon's tail sweeping across, dragging dazzling lightning flames behind it.

Xu Cang was unable to capture Nan Liujing's exact location, but instinctively sensed the fatal danger. He immediately released a complete burst of soul power, his muscles expanded, and the water element soul power enveloped his entire body. He inserted his shield into the ground, determined to fight to the end.

"boom!"

Amidst the deafening roar of thunder, the Coiled Dragon Staff exploded with a shower of lightning bolts, seemingly piercing through space and leaving tiny cracks in its wake. The terrifying force poured into the shield, causing Xu Cang to groan. His bones and flesh felt numb, like metal struck hard by a forging hammer, its concussions pounding against it.

The Xuanming Sect has been able to be passed down from ancient times to the present day, and it has not stood still. Relying on the ancestral skills, Xu Cang desperately urged his soul power, and his tall body obviously splashed ripples on the water, which was very effective in reducing the impact damage.

But his body wasn't completely relieved. There were cracks in his arms, and bones broke. The center of his shield, visible to the naked eye, was not only black from the lightning's burning, but also collapsed and cracked. The pitch-black snake pupils attached to it cried out in agony.

After completing the cudgel, Nan Liujing tiptoed into the air. The lightning floating around his body seemed to peel off like sticky threads, splitting into two lightning clones. Together, the three of them raised the Coiling Dragon Cudgel high, curved it behind their heads like a thin thread, and then slashed down heavily. The strong wind mixed with the cudgel's power was like a mountain shaking the earth.

Xu Cang was shocked. In desperation, he tried every possible means to find a cure and instantly unleashed his fourth soul skill, Xuanming Replacement.

His body vanished, and the person who was being chopped down appeared in the place of the frail Ning Yun. She stared upward, her eyes hazy, her blood curdling under the pressure, a deathly aura looming.

This scene happened so suddenly that except for the real strong ones at the scene, no one else could react at all and was still wondering how Xu Cang would respond.

The old man naturally realized that something was wrong at the first moment, but even for him, it was too late to take action.

Just when Ning Yun was about to die under the chopping, the power of thunder and lightning gushed out from Nan Liujing's body like a fountain, and the whole person seemed to return to heaven and earth and disappeared.

As the shadow of death faded, Ning Yun's legs softened and she sat down with a thud, her face extremely pale.

"what happened?"

It was not until this point that the audience realized that something was wrong.

On Yu Jiutian's side, Xu Cangxian appeared with a confused look on his face, and the two brothers stared at each other.

Yu Jiutian understood immediately, his eyes bloodshot as he asked, "You replaced Yun'er?"

Xu Cang was stunned and turned his head to look, but found that the place where he was just now was no longer where Nan Liujing was chopping. Ning Yun himself had just fallen to the ground.

He wanted to explain, but suddenly above his head, thick lightning magma twisted and condensed in the air, turning into a blurry human figure.

A suffocating pressure surrounded him, and the airflow in the entire arena stagnated. Only the lightning element was boiling, as if cheering for its emperor.

Nan Liujing intentionally gave Xu Cang time to react, and when the blow was about to fall, Xu Cang raised his shield in panic.

With a loud bang, layers of air waves exploded, and thousands of electric arrows flew out, leaving a scorching smell and cracks in the air. The temporary competition stage was shattered in an instant, as if it had been eroded by an earthquake.

With a "bang", the Xuanming tortoise shell shield exploded and turned into light spots all over the sky.

The backlash from his shattered spirit immediately set in. Xu Cang's eyes darkened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Furthermore, his blood vessels, unable to withstand the pressure, ruptured one after another, splattering a large amount of blood, instantly staining the broken floor.

His knees softened, and Xu Cang knelt down with a blank look in his eyes, making a dull collision sound with the broken ground. Blood flowed down, leaving two blood pools at his knees.

After the attack, the Panlong Stick hovered less than ten centimeters above Xu Cang's head, and the residual power of the thunder burned his hair.

Looking at the trembling Xu Cang, Nan Liujing's voice echoed throughout the stadium: "If you apologize, I might spare your life."

Under the breathless gaze of tens of thousands of people, Xu Cang's empty eyes seemed to regain their brightness, and he raised his head and looked at Nan Liujing.

It has come to this point, how could he not understand that Nan Liujing's move was most likely approved by the college's top management.

"Really?" Xu Cang's voice was hoarse, as if he had grasped the last straw to survive.

"Of course. You are from Shrek Academy after all." Nan Liujing's eyes were cold.

Only by being alive can there be a future. Xu Cang apologized without any hesitation.

"right……"

Before he could utter the other few words of apology, Xu Cang suddenly felt a flash of lightning passing by his side. The next moment, the huge head was chopped off and rolled in the air. Before it completely disappeared into the darkness, Xu Cang had only one thought left in his mind.

It's not about apologizing...

"You lied, and I'll kill you even if you apologize!"

Nan Liujing's voice, mixed with soul power, was transmitted into the flying head.

It was like a devil's sound filling his ears, and Xu Cang's last bit of consciousness was filled with powerless rage.

boom.

The headless corpse collapsed with a loud bang, like the sound of a bell waking up tens of thousands of people in the stadium, and the air in the entire stadium was almost stagnant.

Dead...someone's dead. Really killed!
A Shrek student was publicly beheaded!
Click, click!
The first to react were the major media outlets, with countless cameras aimed at the head that drew an arc in the air and then fell to the ground.

Xu Cang's face still had an expression of confusion and resentment. It was a pity that it was too bloody, otherwise it would be completely suitable for the cover page.

Yu Jiutian helped Ning Yun to stand up. The two of them, along with the other four Shrek students in the audience, stared at the tragic scene with wide eyes.

Especially Xu Lizhi, when he saw his cousin's head being cut off, the resentful look in his eyes was like a sharp sword piercing into his heart. His crotch felt hot and he peed his pants on the spot.

Suddenly, Nan Liujing's calm voice spread, shocking countless people:

"I, Nan Liujing, have been offered a bounty for assassination by Xu Cang from Shrek Academy. Today, I will kill him. As a student of the continent's number one academy, Xu Cang conspired with an evil spirit master. Not only is he guilty, but Shrek Academy is also guilty. I demand a public apology from Shrek Academy!"

The sound was like thunder, spreading all over the world.

In the audience area, Tang Clan's Amorous Douluo Zang Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head. You kid really gave me a surprise, but this will cause too much trouble.

Some of the old stubborn people in Shrek Academy would never allow a public apology, even if they were truly wrong.

No, he has to go back to Shrek City.

A group of officials from the Tianhai Alliance, the presidents of various colleges, and the presidents of vice-professional associations looked towards a box in the stadium with panic.

In the distance, Wu Zhangkong, who was accompanying Shen Yi, had a solemn expression on his face. "His Majesty the Holy Spirit allowed Liu Jing to take action the entire time. He must have tacitly approved it. But murder is murder, and Liu Jing was still reckless. He shouldn't have questioned Shrek Academy in front of everyone."

"Questions have arisen. There's no room for negotiation." Shen Yi said in a deep voice, "Apologizing means proving that the students are colluding with evil spirit masters, which will have a huge impact on the academy's reputation. If we don't apologize, the academy will be put on the spot and an explanation is required."

She understood too well that at this point, even if the students' collusion with the evil soul master could be salvaged, the Federation, which was hostile to the academy, would definitely spread negative news about the academy. They had waited for this day for too long.

In an instant, the entire stadium was in an uproar, and everyone was whispering.

Nan Liujing stood alone on the competition stage, his expression as calm as water.

Gu Yue asked Tang Wulin to return to the team. She went straight to Nan Liujing and said in a pleasant voice with unparalleled solemnity, "I saw the evil spirit master attack and kill Nan Liujing with my own eyes. The location was on the spirit train when Tiandou City was attacked."

"Nan Liujing was in the carriage and saved dozens of people. He is also an honorary citizen of Tiandou City. His honors can be checked!"

Nan Liujing looked at Gu Yue, only to see her raise an eyebrow at him and kiss her red lips, as if to say, "I'll help you add fuel to the fire."

Nan Liujing raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Okay, then let's make this fire burn even brighter."

The words "Honorary Citizen" were like a blockbuster bomb, exploding in the crowd.

You know, in Douluo Continent, the title of Honorary Citizen is not so easy to obtain. This is not a simple award for bravery.

Acts of bravery are usually rewarded with certificates and bonuses, which are very generous, but are still a long way from being an honorary citizen.

It means that you have made an unparalleled and outstanding contribution to a city. Once you get it, it will be permanently included in the city's historical celebrity list.

For a moment, the audience's eyes changed when they looked at Nan Liujing.

I don't know who is leading the charge, but suddenly, an excited voice rang out:

"Shrek, explain!"

"Shrek, explain!"

The stadium was soon filled with excited voices, one wave higher than the other.

People did indeed admire Shrek Academy, having heard countless tales of its famed past twenty thousand years. But they loathed evil spirit masters even more. These sewer rats had caused untold harm across the continent.

Even Tianhai City had suffered from the rebellion of evil soul masters thirty years ago, with more than a thousand people killed and injured. It was a painful memory that no one could forget.

hum~
Just as the crowd was excited and shouting, suddenly, a green-gold light spread across the sky above the stadium, and a tall figure appeared. Her face was beautiful, clean and elegant, and full of life.

The shouting stopped abruptly because the person who came had nine soul rings floating on his body.

It’s still an amazing six black and three red!
Titled Douluo!

Nan Liujing and Gu Yue looked up and looked straight at Yali.

In the dark, there is a special gentle force that soothes the anger in people's hearts.

Yali slowly landed on the ground, and with a wave of her jade hand, Xu Cang's body turned into a spot of light and dissipated.

"Senior." Nan Liujing bowed slightly.

Yali nodded slightly and said solemnly to everyone, "I am the deputy head of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, and my title is Holy Spirit."

As soon as the deputy leader of Poseidon Pavilion said a few words, the stadium was stirred again.

"After investigation, we have confirmed that student Xu Cang did secretly collude with the evil soul master." Yali said in a deep voice.

hiss!
The sound of gasps came one after another. Is this actually true?

Shrek Academy, which claims to be the most righteous academy in the world, actually has students colluding with evil soul masters and trying to kill people to silence them!
exploded.

Countless cameras were pointed at Yali, spreading her words as quickly as possible. It was likely that in less than ten minutes, the continent would be in shock.

You know, Shrek Academy has always boasted of its irreconcilable opposition to evil spirit masters, but now? One of their students, a member of the Shrek Academy team, is openly colluding with an evil spirit master.

Yali's face was solemn, her gentleness gone. "The students colluded with the evil spirit master and attempted to kill and silence them. This is our academy's fault for not investigating it properly. But I promise everyone that Shrek Academy will always be against evil spirit masters and will absolutely not tolerate anyone colluding with them."

"Here, in the name of Shrek Academy, I apologize to you."

After she finished speaking, under the gaze of countless eyes, Yali made an apology towards Nan Liujing.

As the deputy leader of the Sea God Pavilion and a Titled Douluo, he apologized to a young man with three souls.

Nan Liujing and Gu Yue stood side by side, and in front of them was Yali who bowed and apologized!

Such a picture, a perfect front page!

Countless reporters were frantically writing headlines.

Only the reporter from Mingdu TV used the most memorable headline after the incident broke out.

[Shrek Academy lowered their noble heads! ]

[Shrek Academy is by no means a perfect holy place! ]

...

Shrek Academy.

boom!
The sound of a cup shattering suddenly rang out, and a terrifying force, interwoven with black and white, surged from the body of an old woman.

The ancient golden tree not far away bloomed with dazzling golden light, as if to dispel the impact of the soul power pressure. In various places in the inner courtyard, the students who were active were all shocked and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Sea God Pavilion.

Many elders in the Poseidon Pavilion were also shocked and hurriedly left the tree house and came outside.

Inside the tree house, the most advanced TV was broadcasting live footage of the Tianhai Alliance Competition.

In the picture, Yali's apology voice seemed to have not faded away yet, and the background board was the excited figures of countless audiences.

"Ya Li!" Long Yeyue's eyes widened in anger. "How dare you apologize to a child in the name of Poseidon Pavilion and the academy?"

With a flash of her figure, Long Yeyue instantly arrived outside the tree house and shouted angrily, "Yun Ming, come out!"

Under the gaze of countless inner court students and elders, a stream of light condensed from above the ancient golden tree and transformed into a young man in fluttering white clothes.

"Old Master Long." Yun Ming looked at the panting Long Yeyue calmly.

Long Yeyue's face was gloomy as he questioned, "Did you acquiesce in asking Yali to apologize on behalf of the academy?"

Apologize in the name of the college?

The onlookers' eyes widened. What...just happened?
Yun Ming said calmly, "Students who represent the academy in battle and secretly collude with evil spirit masters should be killed!"

Long Yeyue suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "It was clearly the students' own fault. How can you blame the academy? You're asking Yali to apologize in public and smearing the academy's 20,000 years of glory!"

Yun Ming said calmly, "Twenty thousand years of glory means colluding with evil spirit masters?"

Long Yeyue was choked by these words, and his expression became even gloomier.

"I will not allow the honor earned by the academy to be tarnished by even the slightest stain."

Bursts of dragon roars emerged from behind Long Yeyue. Two dragon shadows, one black and one white, intertwined. The power of light and darkness between heaven and earth were clearly distinguished, as if to suppress everything.

The other elders and students gasped for breath. Only Yun Ming completely ignored the pressure.

"In the name of the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion, I declare that a Sea God Pavilion meeting will be held immediately."

Upon hearing this, the elders looked at each other and quickly entered the Poseidon Pavilion.

Yun Ming ignored Long Yeyue's gloomy expression and looked up into the distance.

Academy, there is no construction without destruction!
He is much luckier than Ancestor Moon. At least, he has plenty of time!
