Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 40 You guys actually dared to come!
Long Chen, sitting in the back row, rubbed his sore bottom and stared longingly at the two people in the front row.

Xu Ming, sitting in front of him, looked at him sympathetically:

"You'll get used to it. Those two are too aloof for us to get involved in."

Lin Yan, sitting opposite, leaned over and whispered:
"Have you guys noticed? Gu Yue's tone only softens slightly when she's with Lu Jun..."

"Shh!" Su Yu quickly covered her mouth. "Keep your voice down, or they'll hear you."

The train fell silent instantly.

After a long time, the Soul Guidance Train continued to travel smoothly on the track to Tianhai City. The scenery outside the window rushed past, and sunlight shone through the glass into the carriage, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Lu Jun closed his eyes and diligently cultivated and meditated, while Gu Yuena's gaze fell on him seemingly absentmindedly, as if she was pondering something.

Long Chen in the back row was fast asleep, drooling almost onto the shoulder of the teacher in charge, while the other senior students were whispering about the tactics for the competition.

Everything looks normal.

Under these seemingly normal circumstances, Lu Jun seemed to sense something, his eyelashes suddenly trembled, and he abruptly opened his eyes.

"Wait, this is... Oh no, there's danger!"

Lu Jun sensed the danger and almost instinctively used his Ice Abyss Sword Martial Soul, swinging it forward without hesitation.

The sword's edge drew a brilliant blue arc, and a large number of ice crystals formed an ice wall that instantly rose from the ground in front of them, protecting everyone.

Everyone was shocked by Lu Jun's behavior.

"how--"

The questioning abruptly stopped as a deafening explosion rang out in front of the Soul Guidance Train!
"boom!!!"

The entire soul-guided train shook violently, the tracks ahead were shattered, and the train tilted sharply amidst a piercing metallic twisting sound, almost derailing and overturning.

The shockwave from the explosion swept in like a raging torrent, and the ice wall that Lu Jun had built shattered and crumbled in the intense heat, turning into countless ice crystals.

At the same time, Lu Jun's soul power was completely drained in an instant.

The explosion was far greater than Lu Jun had anticipated!
Terrifying flames and turbulent flow of soul energy engulfed the entire carriage, threatening to drown everyone inside.

At this critical moment, Gu Yuena's purple eyes suddenly lit up with a silver light.

"do not move."

She gave a low shout, the sound piercing through the explosion and reaching Lu Jun's eardrums, and reached out to grab Lu Jun's wrist.

Lu Jun felt a blur before his eyes, and the scenery around him seemed to be torn and distorted by an invisible hand.

Space folds in an instant, blurring the boundary between reality and illusion.

He felt his body being enveloped by a gentle yet irresistible force, as if he had fallen into a silver galaxy.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, the two figures vanished into thin air.

The flames of the explosion engulfed the spot where they had been standing, the entire carriage twisted and deformed in the high temperature, and the metal frame groaned under the strain.

Using spatial teleportation, Gu Yuena brought Lu Jun to a safe location. Releasing Lu Jun's hand, her gaze swept over the still-raging explosions in the distance, her tone calm:
"Good reaction, but remember to dodge first next time, don't be reckless."

"Ah."

Lu Jun looked down at his hands.

She saved me again.

"Brother Lu! Sister Gu Yue! Are you alright?!"

Long Chen's shout broke the delicate atmosphere of the moment. He came running from the other side, covered in dust and dirt, followed by his equally disheveled teacher and other team members.

"Enemy attack!!" the teacher in charge shouted immediately.

Zhao Tianyu reacted quickly, immediately releasing his martial spirit. He gripped the Thunder Battle Axe in his hand and looked around warily.

However, before everyone could react, more than a dozen dark figures rushed in from all directions!

They were dressed in black robes and wore masks. They moved swiftly and with a clear objective, all heading straight for Lu Jun's location.

Seeing this, Lu Jun couldn't help but curse in his mind.

Speak of the devil and he appears. It must be you guys, right?

Tang Sect!

"Shh!"

A dark figure instantly approached, a flash of cold light in its hand, and a sharp dagger spirit pierced straight into Lu Jun's legs, clearly intending to incapacitate him.

Lu Jun's eyes turned cold, and the Ice Abyss Sword instantly materialized in his hand, ready to counterattack.

"What a courage!"

A cold, murderous female voice suddenly rang out.

The next second, a figure clad in jet-black battle armor appeared and stood in front of Lu Jun.

"boom!"

Before the attacker's dagger could even touch Lu Jun, he was blasted away by a terrifying force, his body exploding into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air!
"Master Aunt?" Lu Jun felt immediately relieved when he saw Leng Yulai.

Leng Yulai was clad in jet-black battle armor, and beneath her eerie mask, a pair of cold eyes flashed with chilling killing intent.

With a gentle wave of her hand, several streams of fiery soul power swept out like sharp blades, instantly slicing several black-robed men in front of her in half at the waist.

"Protect the students!" she ordered coldly.

At the same time, another figure appeared on the scene. Gu Chenyu's martial soul, Blood Demon, was released instantly, nine soul rings rose from his feet, and he struck out with a palm, causing a terrifying soul shockwave to sweep across the entire scene.

"Buzz!"

All the men in black robes froze, their eyes behind their masks instantly losing focus, as if their souls had been severely wounded. They all knelt on the ground, blood flowing from their seven orifices.

The teacher in charge reacted quickly, instantly covering his entire body with his three-word battle armor, protecting the students behind him, and shouted sternly:

"Everyone, gather immediately!"

Gu Yuena stood beside Lu Jun, her purple eyes scanning the surroundings, and whispered, "People from the Tang Clan?"

Lu Jun gripped the Ice Abyss Sword tightly, his gaze solemn:

"I don't know, and I didn't see any Tang Clan insignia on them."

"However, since they dared to do something like this, they'll definitely tear off all the symbols related to the Tang Clan. Those persistent ghosts."

Lu Jun said this through gritted teeth.

Is she some kind of stunning beauty?
Is he worth the Tang Clan's attention?

Moreover, this is happening on a soul-guided train.

What, do I have the same constitution as Tang Wulin, and something always happens whenever I ride a soul-guided train?
Leng Yulai snorted coldly:
"No matter who it is, anyone who dares to touch my Spirit Pagoda must die."

A cold snort came from beneath Leng Yulai's battle armor mask. Her slender fingers suddenly spread open, and a pair of wings burning with purplish-black flames suddenly unfolded from her back.

The terrifying fluctuations of soul power caused the entire scene to tremble, and nine soul rings rose up one after another beneath her feet.

"Wow!"

A phoenix cry tore through the sky, and a huge dark phoenix phantom materialized behind her.

The phoenix's wingspan was a full twenty meters, and each feather was burning with a purplish-black flame capable of scorching the soul.

"Since you dare to come," Leng Yulai's voice was as cold as ice from the deepest hell, "then you shall all stay."

With a flick of her right hand, the Dark Phoenix unleashed a rain of fire.

The purplish-black flames seemed to have a life of their own, precisely targeting each of the black-robed figures.

Enemies touched by the flames didn't even have time to scream before turning to ashes in the distorted space.

A man in black robes tried to block with his soul-guided shield, but the purplish-black flames penetrated the defense and ignited him from the inside out.

In the blink of an eye, only three of the dozen or so attackers remained, struggling to hold on.

"Your Majesty Dark Phoenix." Gu Chenyu sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "We told you to leave them alive, but we still don't know which organization they belong to."
