Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 900: The Seven Killing Swords of the Dark Sea Absorb the Soul Ring

Zhu Wuneng frowned slightly, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, and asked softly, "Master, are we really going to start this early? The battle hasn't even entered its most brutal stage yet."

Chen Xiaojun smiled gently, his eyes as sharp as torches, looking at the two groups of beasts fighting fiercely in the distance, and said slowly: "It's almost time, Wuneng, if we hesitate any longer, I'm afraid we will miss the best opportunity."

Zhu Wuneng still muttered unwillingly: "But...but if we wait a little longer, until they suffer more casualties, won't we be able to relax more easily?"

Chen Xiaojun shook his head slightly, with colorful lights flashing in his eyes: "Look at those two leaders, they have gradually distanced themselves and started to launch long-range attacks, what does this mean?"

Chen Shurui's eyes flashed with enlightenment when he heard this. He looked at Chen Xiaojun and asked, "Sixth Brother, do you mean that they don't want to fight anymore and are preparing to retreat?"

Chen Bin rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Isn't this obvious? Shu Rui, don't be so slow."

"I think they have suffered a lot of casualties. If they continue to fight, their group will be seriously damaged."

"As leaders, they naturally have to weigh the pros and cons and consider the overall interests of the tribe."

Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly and said, "What's more, there is a group of us waiting here eagerly."

"These beast king-level beings are quite intelligent, especially the two leaders, who are almost at the threshold of the true king level. How could they not know our intentions?"

Ma Liang echoed, "Yes, these beast kings are very cunning. They won't let us get away with it easily."

Chen Mu sighed and said helplessly: "It's really not easy to take advantage of them."

"But, speaking of which, apart from our team, which other team can sit back and reap the benefits of a fight between two large groups of beasts?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wuneng had no choice but to nod. Although he was still somewhat unwilling, he also understood that this was indeed the best time to take action.

…………

An unprecedented, soul-shaking roar suddenly broke through the battlefield.

Along with the thunderous sound, a huge monster, the Green Scaled Snake, quickly shuttled through the dense forest at an astonishing speed.

Its body was so large that it almost blocked out half of the sky, and its scales sparkled with a faint green luster in the sunlight, like a terrifying totem carved from jade.

Every time the Green Scaled Snake twisted, the ground trembled slightly. Its cold snake pupils were fixed on the two groups of soul beasts fighting not far away, and its eyes flashed with unquestionable murderous intent.

Then, a heart-pounding moment came. It suddenly opened its huge mouth that was big enough to swallow a large soul beast, and an extremely rich and colorful venom gushed out.

This time the venom quickly condensed and transformed in the air, turning into a sudden "acid rain".

Every drop of this acid rain contained a deadly poison that was enough to corrode metal and stone and dissolve the soul. It poured down towards the two major groups of soul beasts in a precise and deadly trajectory.

Unlike the previous poison formation, which used a large-scale defense and the spreading poisonous fog to form a defensive purpose, this time the transformed spirit was purely for attack.

Every drop of venom is a deadly dart, hitting the vital point directly and indiscriminately threatening every life present.

The acid rain was as dense as arrows, carrying the terrifying power to corrode everything, covering the area where the two major groups of soul beasts were located.

Those soul beasts that had no time to dodge or were weaker in strength let out shrill wails the moment they came into contact with the acid rain. Their bodies were quickly corroded and turned into pieces of bones. Some of them did not even have bones left, leaving only pools of green mucus, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench.

Faced with this sudden disaster, some soul beasts quickly summoned soul power shields to protect themselves and their companions in an attempt to resist the erosion of the acid rain; some used their speed advantage to shuttle through the acid rain; and others took advantage of the terrain to hide in rock crevices or dense bushes.

However, the Green Scaled Snake obviously had no intention of giving up.

There was a cruel light flashing in its cold snake eyes. It opened its huge mouth again and another wave of venom gushed out.

This time, it condensed the venom into long and thin poisonous whips, like a spirit snake coming out of a cave, with a whistling sound, and lashed at the soul beasts that tried to resist or escape.

Wherever the poison whip passed, whether it was the tough bark or the hard rock, it was corroded into holes. Those soul beasts that were unfortunately hit instantly lost their combat effectiveness. Some were even pierced through the body by the poison whip. The blood and venom intertwined, dyeing this ancient forest red.

At this critical moment of life and death, the strong men from the two major tribes finally let go of their grudges and hatreds, and they began to join forces to fight against this terrifying green-scaled snake.

They used their respective strengths and advantages, some were responsible for restraining the actions of the Green Scaled Snake, while others were responsible for finding opportunities to launch a fatal attack.

........................

Chen Xiaojun whispered, "Alright, everyone get ready. We should attack quickly before they completely retreat and deal with the Bilin Snake."

"Remember, our primary targets are those severely injured beast kings. And Old Seven and Old Eight, you two should keep your eyes open."

Zhu Wuneng heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, Master, don't worry, we will definitely catch those seriously injured guys and will never let them escape."

Chen Shurui whistled and nodded, "Sixth brother, don't worry, we will choose the target and kill it first."

Chen Bin patted the Seven Killing Sword in his hand and said, "We will not miss the opportunity to beat the downed dog."

Ma Liang looked solemn and reminded in a low voice: "Everyone should be careful. These beast king-level beings are not so easy to deal with even if they are seriously injured."

Chen Mu also agreed: "Ma Liang is right, we can't take it lightly."

Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly and glanced at everyone approvingly: "Very good, everyone has made mental preparations."

"Well, let's get started now."

After saying that, Chen Xiaojun took the lead and moved forward. His figure shuttled through the woods like a ghost, quickly approaching the direction of the two large groups of beasts.

The others followed closely behind, each using their own skills to quickly move towards the goal.

Everyone rushed into the group of soul beasts, and on this land stained with blood, a thrilling hunting operation began.

Zhang Ci flew in front of the leader of the blazing guardian beast, and in front of the leader of the shadow scaled beast was Chen Xiaojun!
………………

The smoke of the battle gradually dissipated, and the tense atmosphere eased. Zhu Wuneng said with deep emotion: "After spending so much energy, it's finally over."

His voice was a little tired, but it couldn't hide the joy of victory.

Chen Mu gently patted Chen Shurui and Chen Bin's arms and encouraged them, "Go, Old Seven and Old Eight, go absorb the spirit rings that belong to you."

Chen Shurui and Chen Bin nodded and walked towards their chosen spirit rings. Chen Mu sighed, relaxed, and smiled at the others, "Let's go touch those spirit bones first, maybe there will be some surprises."

Zhang Ci agreed, "Yes, there are so many corpses of Blazing Guardian Beasts and Shadow Scaled Beasts here, I think there should be a few soul bones as well."

Ma Liang's face lit up with a gentle smile. He looked around and said, "Okay, now we can start collecting our spoils."

Chen Xiaojun called him, "Wait a minute, Xiaoliang, follow Teacher Zhang and go to the valley where the Blazing Guardian Beast is."

Hearing this, Ma Liang asked curiously, "Sixth Brother, why are you going there? Are you planning to take advantage of the fact that there are no powerful Blazing Guardian Beasts there to raid their lair?"

Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly and explained, "Well, the lair of the Shadow Scaled Beast is hidden in a complex cave underground, and it is quite difficult to find."

"But the lair of the Blazing Guardian Beast is located in that conspicuous valley. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

After hearing this, Zhu Wuneng said with some concern: "Are the two of them enough? It is impossible for all the Blazing Light Guardian Beasts to come here. There should be some guarding power in the nest. What if there are still powerful soul beasts?"

Chen Xiaojun had already made plans. He said, "Ningxia and Cuilan are already waiting over there. Together with Teacher Zhang and Xiaoliang, this combination should be enough."

"If we really run into any trouble, you two should take them out first. We will go over and join you as soon as we are done here."

Zhu Wuneng suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this: "So they are there. Young Master, you are indeed cunning, oh no, you are resourceful."

Chen Xiaojun rolled his eyes, speechless.

Chen Mu also laughed and scolded: "You are so cunning, Lao Liu."

Ma Liang said confidently: "Don't worry, leave it to us. We will definitely complete the mission successfully and return with rich spoils."

Then Zhang Ci also nodded.

He flashed and rushed towards the Chiguang Valley with Ma Liang like a flash of lightning, leaving only two afterimages echoing in the air.

Zhu Wuneng turned and walked towards Dugu Fu, kicked his foot unceremoniously, and asked jokingly: "Hey, are you dead?"

Dugu Fu looked exhausted, as if he had just walked through the gates of hell. He gasped and replied, "It's almost done. I'm just a level 40 Quasi-Soul Sect. It's really exhausting to control a Soul Saint-level poison formation for so long."

Zhu Wuneng chuckled and said, "You were the protagonist of the entire battle just now. You were so majestic and powerful!"

Dugu Fu rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Nonsense, not only do I have to control the poison array, but I've almost used up all the toxins in my body. This is going to cost me my life."

Zhu Wuneng feigned surprise and exclaimed, "You've also used up your toxin stockpile. It's really rare to see you do that."

Dugu Fu rolled his eyes at him fiercely and said unhappily, "Don't even mention the poison in my body. Even the toxin stored in my right arm bone has been used up. It will take a long time to store it before it can be used again. You are really talking about something irrelevant."

Zhu Wuneng chuckled and said, "That's good. You usually complain that the toxins are driving you crazy. Now that you are free of toxins, you feel much more relaxed."

Dugu Fu snorted unhappily: "Oh, thank you. Without the poison, I wouldn't have much cross-level combat power. Are you gloating over my misfortune?"

Zhu Wuneng touched his nose and chuckled, "Then you go and absorb the toxins from these corpses. We can then grill them and eat them later. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

Hearing this, Dugu Fu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat all day. I'm going to eat you to death."

Zhu Wuneng chuckled and said, "Food is the most important thing for people. How can we live without it?"

Dugu Fu snorted coldly: "Haha, I think food is the most important thing for pigs."

Zhu Wuneng immediately shouted angrily: "Get lost! Hey, what do you think the young master is doing?"

Dugu Fu heard this and followed Zhu Wuneng's gaze. His eyes widened immediately. "No way, the young master actually sat cross-legged. Is he preparing to absorb the spirit ring?"

I saw Chen Xiaojun, who was not far away, walked back to the huge corpse of the Shadow Guardian Beast leader. He stared at the soul ring that was flickering with faint light, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly sat down cross-legged.

He formed seals with his hands and began to pull the soul ring of the shadow guardian beast leader slowly towards him.

The soul ring sensed Chen Xiaojun's call and began to vibrate slowly, emitting an even brighter light.

The cultivation contained in this soul ring is at least forty-five thousand years.

Chen Xiaojun stared at the soul ring in front of him that was about to be absorbed by him.

His second soul ring, the Seven Killing Swords of the Nether Sea, has never truly absorbed the power of the soul ring.

This time, as the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition was approaching, he had the task of hunting soul beasts in the mountains, which was also one of the reasons why he agreed to lead the team.

Hunting true king-level soul beasts in the core circle is too risky and does not conform to the original intention of their trip.

The soul ring of the shadow guardian beast leader can be said to be a top-quality choice, both in terms of its age and the quality of the soul beast.

It can satisfy the Seven Killing Swords of the Nether Sea's desire for spirit rings without bringing too much burden to Chen Xiaojun.

The Seven Killing Swords of the Underworld Sea is not the Sword God Pearl, and does not have the magical ability to absorb soul rings of higher levels.

The fifth soul ring that he had absorbed before, the Star Dragon Blue Lotus, was a 35,000-year soul ring that he had absorbed on his own.

And now, the 45,000-year-old spirit ring that he is about to absorb should be fine.

After more than 40,000 years of cultivation, the quality of the soul power contained in it has already reached the level of Soul Saint.

What's more, his upper soul nest is still injured. If he rashly absorbs the soul ring of a 50,000-year-old true king-level soul beast with powerful mental power, it might be dangerous.

Therefore, the soul ring of the shadow guardian beast leader is undoubtedly the best choice for him.

Chen Xiaojun took a deep breath and began to concentrate on guiding the power of the soul ring, slowly integrating it into his body.

As the soul ring gradually merged, he could feel his strength constantly rising, and the Seven Killing Swords of the Nether Sea seemed to become sharper and more powerful under the nourishment of this power.
