Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 72 A World Without Thieves vs. Qin Ming (Part 2)

"Storm Rising Dragon Fist!"

The roar of "No Thieves Under Heaven" tore through the sky, and the sound waves shook the surrounding tree canopies violently.

His right fist, enveloped in a hurricane as powerful as the blue sky, crashed down like a meteorite with the force of a thunderbolt.

Before the fist even arrives, the wind pressure has already set off, swirling the dead leaves on the ground and making them spin wildly in the air, forming small tornadoes.

The moment the fist made contact with the ground, the entire battlefield felt as if it were being pressed down by an invisible giant hand.

The ground first caved in strangely, like a lake being struck by a giant hammer, and then with a loud bang, it shattered like a mirror.

Large boulders shot into the sky, as if the entire earth's surface had been flung into the air.

The sea of ​​fire was instantly shattered by the terrifying wind pressure, turning into countless sparks flying across the sky, like fireflies that flashed by in the summer night sky.

Even more chilling was the sight of a giant dragon formed from a hurricane roaring out of the ground.

Its entire body was engulfed in flames, its dragon scales shimmering with a crimson light, and its gaping maw seemed to lead to an abyss of hell.

Before Qin Ming could react, the wind dragon, like a red lightning bolt, snatched his body in its jaws.

"Crack!"

Qin Ming's Fiery Wolf Martial Soul, protecting his body, had its fur torn apart like fragile pieces of paper by the wind dragon's bite.

"what!"

His face contorted in agony as the immense force of his bite instantly shattered several bones in his body, sending waves of excruciating pain crashing over him.

However, the wind dragon did not stop, but instead carried him straight into the sky.

The dragon's body spun wildly in the air, tearing the thick clouds into fragments wherever it passed, as if a huge wound had been ripped open in the sky.

"It's not over yet!" The cold voice of "No Thieves Under Heaven" rang out again.

His knees bent like springs, then snapped straight, and the ground beneath his feet caved in.

He was like a rocket poised for launch, soaring into the sky at an astonishing speed.

With a whoosh, he appeared above Fenglong and Qin Ming at an even faster speed.

The red spirit rings on his body flashed several times, and terrifying spirit power converged towards one location like a tide.

All that could be seen was Wu Zetian raising his right arm, the power gathered in his fist like a volcano about to erupt, the surrounding air twisting and deforming under the pressure.

"Overlord Chasing Wind Fist - Earth-Splitting Strike!"

With that roar, his right fist, like a giant axe, slammed down on Qin Ming, who was trapped in the mouth of the wind dragon.

Qin Ming's eyes widened, filled with fear and resentment.

He struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free from the wind dragon's grasp.

"No, I can't die. Sixth Soul Skill, Shield of Blazing Fire!"

In an instant, three shields formed from raging flames appeared out of thin air, blocking his way one by one.

The shield's surface pulsed with intense heat; fallen leaves instantly vaporized upon contact with it, demonstrating the extreme temperature.

"Come die!"

However, Tianxia Wuzei's face was as cold as ice, and he didn't take the mere flames seriously at all. He punched the flaming shield.

"Crack!"

However, the moment the fist made contact with the shield, spiderweb-like cracks appeared at the point of contact and spread across the entire shield at a visible speed.

"Bang bang bang!"

The first shield shattered with a crash, followed by the second and third shields, which also broke into countless points of light.

The moment the third shield shattered, Tianxia Wuzei's fist, like a sharp spear, slammed straight into Qin Ming's chest.

"puff!"

Qin Ming spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, and the sound of bones breaking came from his chest, as if countless withered branches were snapping at the same time.

Then, a terrifying force manifested, and he fell from the sky like a meteorite.

"boom!"

A deafening explosion erupted from the ground, and a crater more than ten meters in diameter suddenly appeared in the forest.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky like a mushroom cloud, and the giant trees that had fallen to the ground were pushed back dozens of meters by the shockwave.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Qin Ming was found sprawled at the bottom of the pit, his eyes rolled back and he had passed out.

Covered in blood, his clothes were tattered, and blood slowly flowed down the pit walls, staining the surrounding soil red.

The man, named "No Thief Under Heaven," landed steadily, walked slowly into the pit, and stepped on Qin Ming's head, his tone full of mockery.

"Is this the second youngest Soul Emperor on the entire continent? I'm truly disappointed!"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who witnessed the entire battle from a short distance away, stared wide-eyed, their bodies trembling slightly. They simply couldn't believe that Qin Ming, who was usually so incredibly powerful, had been so badly defeated by Tianxia Wuzei, a mere Soul Master.

However, the traitors and their ilk were already used to it and ran over in a flash.

Looking at the thief in the deep pit, he excitedly said, "Boss, kill him! He actually dared to steal our people, he's a real idiot!"

"That's right, you think you can just leave after offending us? Not so easy!"

"Boss, if you don't want to get your hands dirty, I can help you!"

As he spoke, the shifty-eyed man drew his Fire Cloud Blade, ready to strike Qin Ming.

Of course, the Thieves of the World wouldn't let Qin Ming go either, since judging from their previous exchange, they clearly wanted to kill him.

"Well then, farewell to the second youngest Soul Emperor on the entire continent!"

As he spoke, he slowly pressed down with his feet, his head sinking into the mud, making a gurgling sound.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who were standing by the pit, couldn't bear it and closed their eyes.

Qin Ming was, after all, their teacher, and they had spent some time together, so there was bound to be some affection between them.

However, just as Qin Ming's head was about to be crushed, an invisible force prevented his foot from pressing down any further.

"No Thief Under Heaven" glanced at a certain spot with displeasure and said coldly, "Old Poisoner, are you trying to stop me?"

Before he finished speaking, the dark green poisonous fog surged and condensed like a living thing, and Dugu Bo's figure appeared from within it.

"Ahem, little monster, could you spare him for my sake?!"

"Reason?" The voice of "No Thieves Under Heaven" was devoid of any emotion.

Dugu Bo understood that without a suitable reason, he would probably be unable to save Qin Ming from the clutches of the thieves.

He took a deep breath, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face.

“Prince Xuexing saved my life, and I became a guest minister of the Heaven Dou Empire because of this.” Dugu Bo paused, his tone earnest. “Qin Ming is, after all, a member of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I hope the Holy Son can spare him for my sake.”

As he spoke, he looked firmly at Tianxia Wuzei: "This can be considered as me completely severing ties with the Tiandou Empire."

"No Thief Under Heaven" did not answer immediately, but squinted at Dugu Bo.

The forest was completely silent, save for Qin Ming's faint breathing that seemed to tear through the air.

Dugu Bo, the titled Douluo, looked at the silent Tianxia Wuzei, his Adam's apple bobbing, and cold sweat seeping from his back.

He was well aware that his actions had crossed the line.

If someone insists on killing Qin Ming, he will absolutely not stop them.

Seeing his appearance, the thief thought to himself.

"Qin Ming is just a minor character. Although he is known as the second youngest Soul Emperor in the entire continent, there are many people who can surpass him in the future. Letting him go will allow Dugu Bo to completely submit to him, which is not a bad deal."

Thinking of this, he slowly withdrew his right foot, but his expression remained as cold as ice.

"Old poisoner," the voice of "No Thief Under Heaven" was deep and dangerous, "This is the first and the last time."

His sharp gaze pierced Dugu Bo like a blade: "You should understand what I mean. I hope you won't disappoint me."

The last few words were emphasized heavily, carrying an undeniable warning.

After saying this, he walked out of the deep pit and headed towards the wooden house without looking back.

Seeing this, the three traitors, though unwilling, could only give up in frustration.

They glared fiercely at Dugu Bo, but in the end they obediently followed in Tianxia Wuzei's footsteps.

Dugu Bo raised his hand to wipe away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, and shook his head with a wry smile.

He turned to Ye Lingling, his tone softening slightly: "Girl, give him some basic treatment. I'll take him back to the Great Soul Arena now, and we'll call it a day."

Ye Lingling nodded blankly, and the Nine Heart Begonia in her hand emitted a soft light.

She simply treated Qin Ming's most serious injuries to ensure he wouldn't die from them.

As the treatment ended, Dugu Bo picked up the unconscious Qin Ming, leaped into the air, and sped off towards the Great Soul Arena.

"Qin Ming, oh Qin Ming," Dugu Bo whispered in the wind, "you almost caused me a lot of trouble this time. But it's all for the best. After this incident, I and Prince Xuexing are even."

Meanwhile, in the direction of Shrek Academy, a disheveled figure stumbled into the gate.

It was Flander who had escaped death from the Star Dou Great Forest.

His clothes were tattered and his face was covered in blood, a sight that shocked Dai Mubai, who rushed over upon hearing the news.

"Dean?!"

Dai Mubai rushed forward and supported the swaying Flander, his voice filled with shock and worry.

"What happened to you? How did you get into this state?!"
