Chapter 57: Soul Saint Hu Lie, The Light Holy Dragon Counters the Black Tiger, Directly Suppressed!
Even the action of annexing the Black Tiger Sect could righteously be transformed into—
Clearing out the 'illegal armed forces' entrenched around the area for the sake of the academy's construction!
Brilliant!
Truly brilliant!
Hu Lie looked at the man before him, who was much younger than himself. Not only had the previous resentment in his heart vanished, but a deep sense of awe had also risen.
This man, not only was his strength unfathomable, but his schemes and methods were also demonic, almost supernatural!
Following such a person might... truly be the only way out for the Black Tiger Sect, no, for him, Hu Lie!
Thud!
Hu Lie no longer hesitated. He dropped to one knee, clasped his fists, his voice loud and resolute:
'Your subordinate, Hu Lie, pays his respects to the Sect Master!'
'I am willing to lead all members of the Black Tiger Sect to pledge our loyalty unto death to the Yin Yang Sect and to the Sect Master!'
'From this day forward, there will be no Black Tiger Sect in this world, only the Security Department of the Yin Yang Academy!'
Looking at Hu Lie kneeling on the ground, Yu Jingcheng nodded with satisfaction.
'Very good.'
He stood up, straightened his sleeves, a trace of cold Killing Intent flashing in his eyes.
'Since we are one family now, your troubles naturally become my troubles.'
'Uncle Gu.'
'Here.'
Gu Rong chuckled darkly, the bones in his body emitting a series of crackling sounds, clearly itching for a fight.
'Take Hu Lie with you. We're going to the Black Tiger Sect's headquarters.'
Yu Jingcheng walked to the doorway, looking out at the pitch-black night, his voice cold as a blade:
'Tonight, I will make that 'Black Tiger' a dead tiger.'
'And while we're at it, let's see just which deity dares to reach out their hand into my territory.'
...
At the same time, thirty miles outside Heaven Dou City, at the Black Tiger Sect headquarters.
The place was brightly lit, thick with Killing Intent.
The Grand Sect Master, Hu Yan, sat on a tiger-skin chair, rolling two iron balls in his hand, his face full of sinister gloom.
Beside him stood a mysterious figure in black robes, his face obscured.
'Envoy, that little brat Hu Lie has hidden in Heaven Dou City, seemingly seeking outside help.'
Hu Yan snorted coldly, a cruel light flashing in his eyes:
'But even if he fetches the King of Heaven himself, it's useless.'
'With the support of you, Envoy, and the Spirit Hall, the Black Tiger Sect is destined to be mine, Hu Yan's!'
The black-robed man let out a hoarse, low laugh:
'That goes without saying.'
'However, what His Holiness the Pope wants is not merely a Black Tiger Sect.'
'What we want is for the entire Soul Master World of the Heaven Dou Empire to be thrown into chaos...'
Yet.
Before his words could finish.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted from the direction of the main gate.
Immediately after, a mocking voice, accompanied by terrifying Soul Power fluctuations, resounded throughout the entire Black Tiger Sect headquarters:
'Thrown into chaos?'
'Since you like chaos so much, this Lord will grant your wish tonight!'
'The Yin Yang Academy is handling business. All unrelated personnel, get lost!'
Following this furious shout, the main gate of the Black Tiger Sect instantly turned into a shower of wooden splinters!
Amidst the swirling dust, three figures stepped in unhurriedly under the moonlight.
'Who goes there?!'
'How dare you trespass into the Black Tiger Sect!'
'Seeking death?!'
Dozens of Black Tiger Sect Disciples, brandishing weapons, clamored as they surrounded them.
However, when they saw the figure behind the white-robed man at the front—a figure as sturdy as an iron tower, his face full of Killing Intent—everyone's movements froze.
'Sec... Second Young Lord?!'
Someone exclaimed in shock, nearly dropping their weapon.
'Get out of my way!'
Hu Lie roared, the Soul Power of a Soul Saint surging forth like a tidal wave, directly blasting away several Disciples blocking his path.
'Tell that beast Hu Yan to get out here and face me!'
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
A crisp sound of applause came from the inner hall.
Hu Yan, accompanied by the black-robed envoy and surrounded by a group of experts, walked out with dark expressions.
'Good, very good.'
'My dear second brother, I never thought you'd have the guts to come back.'
Hu Yan swept his venomous gaze over Hu Lie, finally settling on Yu Jingcheng and Gu Rong, a scornful sneer curling at the corner of his mouth:
'So these are the helpers you found?'
'A pretty boy and an old fossil?'
'Hu Lie, has your brain been crushed by a door?'
'Do you think you can turn the tables by bringing these two pieces of trash?'
'Who did you call an old fossil?'
Gu Rong's previously somewhat indifferent old face instantly fell.
He dug at his ear, a dangerous glint flashing in his murky old eyes.
'Young people these days, their mouths are getting filthier and filthier.'
The black-robed envoy standing beside Hu Yan had originally maintained a lofty, condescending posture.
But when his gaze met Gu Rong's eyes, his Soul trembled violently from its very depths!
That feeling... was like being stared down by a Vicious Beast from ancient times!
Coupled with the residual spatial fluctuations from when the gate shattered earlier...
The black-robed envoy's pupils constricted to pinpoints, and he screamed involuntarily:
'Sp... Spatial power?!'
'You are... Bone Douluo, Gu Rong?!'
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell deathly silent.
The ferocious grin on Hu Yan's previously arrogant face instantly froze. He looked like a duck whose neck had been wrung, unable to utter a single sound.
A T... Titled Douluo?!
One of the two Grand Elders of the Yin Yang Sect, why would he be here?!
'Oh?'
'You do have some discernment.'
Gu Rong chuckled darkly. Since he had been recognized, he no longer bothered to conceal himself.
Boom!
The pressure of 93rd-rank Soul Power erupted without reservation!
In that instant, the sky above the entire Black Tiger Sect headquarters seemed to collapse.
The faint, looming silhouette of a massive Bone Dragon appeared in the night sky, emanating a suffocating aura of death.
Thud!
Thud!
All the Black Tiger Sect Disciples present, including the Elders with weaker Soul Power,
were completely unable to remain standing under this pressure. They fell to their knees one after another, despair written on their faces.
Hu Yan, in particular, was the focus of this pressure. He was directly crushed flat onto the ground,
prostrate, his bones emitting unbearable cracking sounds.
'S-Senior, spare me!'
Although the black-robed envoy was a Soul Douluo, he could only barely hold on before Gu Rong. Cold sweat instantly soaked through his back:
'I... I am from the Spirit Hall...'
'Shut your noise.'
Before he could even fully display the 'Spirit Hall' nameplate, Yu Jingcheng impatiently cut him off.
He slowly walked up to the black-robed envoy, looking down at him from above, golden light swirling in his eyes.
'The Spirit Hall's hand has reached too far.'
'Since it has reached my territory, don't think about pulling it back.'
Before the words had even faded, a dazzling, resplendent golden light suddenly erupted from Yu Jingcheng's body!
Roar—!
A clear and resonant dragon's roar pierced the heavens!
The Light Holy Dragon manifested behind him!
Sacred, domineering, supreme!
This was the absolute Bloodline suppression belonging to a high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan!
If Gu Rong's pressure relied on sheer power to crush, then Yu Jingcheng's pressure was a judgment from the very Origin of the Soul!
Everyone in the Black Tiger Sect possessed the Black Tiger Martial Soul, a dark-attribute Beast Spirit.
Now, facing the aura of the Holy Dragon of ultimate light, the Martial Souls within their bodies seemed to have encountered a natural predator.
They trembled, whimpered uncontrollably, and even threatened to dissipate on their own!
