How could the people of Sea God Pavilion not recognize Xuan Zi's face?
"Hahahaha, surprised? Unexpected!" Yuwen Tuo laughed heartily. "He was besieged by the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, and I ultimately reaped the spoils,
personally killing him. Do you know, the way he pleaded with me before he died, hoping to exchange his life to offset my hatred for your Shrek Academy, was truly like a clown."
"How could I agree? I told him that sooner or later, I would send all of you down to join him. Today, Mu En is the first. Watching him die with his eyes wide open, you don't know how exhilarated I feel!!!"
"Hahahaha, no, I think I'm the villain now, so it should be, 'Hehehehe.' Ah, that's better!"
"Yuwen Tuo!!!" Yan Shaozhe roared, his eyes bloodshot, with a trace of black aura swirling in his pupils.
It seemed Yuwen Tuo's provocation had stirred the evil power hidden deep within his bloodline, showing signs of awakening.
This guy's relationship with the Holy Spirit Cult was profoundly deep: his grandmother was the Grand Cult Master, his grandfather was the Chief Enforcer, his uncle was the True Cult Master, and his aunt, also his ex-girlfriend, was the Deputy Cult Master.
Whose relationship with evil soul masters could be closer than Yan Shaozhe's? Even the ethical connections were bizarre.
Yan Shaozhe had never expected that his moment of indecision back then, for the sake of Shrek's sense of justice, being unable to bring himself to directly kill Yuwen Tuo, would lead to such massive repercussions.
Elder Mu was dead, and Elder Xuan was also dead. Shrek's two pillars of strength had simultaneously collapsed. For Shrek, "crippling" wasn't even enough to describe it.
It was akin to having both legs broken, instantly becoming a cripple.
"Yuwen Tuo, why... why did you go to this extent?" Ma Xiaotao was utterly despairing. If, before, there was still a sliver of possibility between her and Yuwen Tuo.
But now, he had summoned Poison Douluo to kill Elder Mu and personally slain Elder Xuan, making him and Shrek utterly irreconcilable.
She had indeed absorbed his soul power for six years, but she had never intended to harm his life. Moreover, she had clearly promised to compensate him with everything she had, and to protect him for the rest of her life. Why couldn't he forgive?
"Yan Shaozhe, Ma Xiaotao, you finally feel the hatred, don't you? All these years at Shrek, I survived each day by clinging to such hatred," Yuwen Tuo said sharply. "But from today onwards, I will no longer conceal my hatred. Just wait. This remnant soul and severed head are just the first gift I send to your Shrek. The revenge that follows, I will repay you, drop by drop, with my own hands."
"Haha, well said, Tuo'er. Retribution with pleasure, that's the style of our Body Sect disciples," Poison Douluo said with a satisfied laugh.
He didn't need his disciples to be submissive just because their enemies were powerful. Taking revenge when there was hatred was the style of the Body Sect.
"Alright, Tuo'er, Sect Master, today was a great victory. We should also show some grace. Let's not provoke these mediocre, defeated dogs anymore. Let's go home!" Spirit Brain Douluo said.
"Fine, then let them have a good funeral here, hahahaha!!!"
Poison Douluo nodded, swept a disdainful glance over Shrek, then rapidly departed with the Body Sect's elders.
None of Shrek's Titled Douluo dared to move a single step to pursue.
Xuan Zi's head indeed ignited their greatest hatred and anger, but it also shattered their last bit of morale.
Within a single day, learning of the deaths of both Mu En and Xuan Ziāhow could they possibly accept that?
They no longer had any confidence to face Poison Douluo, an Ultimate Douluo who could even kill Mu En.
As for Yuwen Tuo, unless he happened to be alone and cornered by Shrek one day, it would likely be difficult to kill him.
Only Ma Xiaotao impulsively spread her wings, preparing to give chase. She couldn't allow Yuwen Tuo to leave her presence again.
Song Yunzhi, as the strongest agility-attack type soul master of her time, was one step faster and stopped her.
"Elder Song, don't stop me. I need to get Yuwen Tuo back. If he continues like this, he'll only fall into eternal damnation," Ma Xiaotao said urgently.
"Slap!"
Song Yunzhi gave Ma Xiaotao a harsh slap across the face. "Calm down! What's the use of chasing after them now? Can you defeat the Body Sect's many Titled Douluo? Or do you think you can convince Yuwen Tuo to come back?"
"I..." Ma Xiaotao was speechless. She couldn't do either of those things.
"Listen, Xiaotao. Both Elder Mu and Elder Xuan are gone. Our Shrek has fallen into an unprecedented crisis. From today onwards, all the great nations will eye us covetously. The only person who can lead Shrek to rise again is you.
You are an Ultimate Fire Phoenix soul master, and you've already surpassed rank 70, with incredibly fast cultivation speed. As long as you quickly grow to a Super Douluo, you can shoulder Shrek's burden!" Song Yunzhi persuaded.
"To capture Yuwen Tuo, you are far from qualified right now. You must become stronger, stronger than even Poison Douluo, only then will there be hope!"
"Stronger... Stronger... I must become stronger!" Ma Xiaotao mumbled the words "become stronger" blankly.
That's right, she was helpless now. Only by becoming stronger, stronger than everyone else, could she defeat Poison Douluo in the future and bring Yuwen Tuo back.
As for the losses and pain Yuwen Tuo had inflicted on the academy, once she became strong, she could also help Yuwen Tuo make amends, little by little.
"Teacher... Teacher..."
A figure stumbled out from the Inner Court, staggering and swaying. It was Huo Yuhao, who had just recently taken Mu En as his master.
He knelt on one knee before the Golden Tree. "Why... why is this happening? I once had a mother, then she died. I once had Sister Tang Ya, but then she disappeared. Now, my only teacher, whom I just recognized, has also passed away..."
He wept profusely, unable to understand why fate treated him this way, making him watch his loved ones leave one by one.
Wang Dong couldn't help but walk forward, holding Huo Yuhao in his arms with a pained heart, comforting him, "It's alright, Yuhao. You still have me, your brother. I will never leave you. One day, we will definitely avenge Elder Mu and Elder Xuan."
"Revenge... Yes! I want revenge." Huo Yuhao clenched his fists. "Poison Douluo, Yuwen Tuo, you both just wait. I will make you kneel before my teacher and kowtow in apology."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's revenge list had two new names.
And their ranking was no lower than those of the Dai family. It seemed this guy truly regarded Shrek Academy as his home.
Equally furious was another person: Mu En's great-grandson, Bei Bei.
He was truly unlucky. After returning from the tournament, his wife disappeared. He hadn't even found her yet, and now his great-grandfather was gone too.
In the original work, he might have had Zhang Lexuan, his child bride, to accompany him. But now, the character of Senior Sister was completely absent, and his mental state was no better than Huo Yuhao's.
This day was clearly Shrek Academy's darkest day in thousands of years.
On the other side, after flying approximately tens of li from Shrek, Poison Douluo could no longer hold on. His injuries were too severe; he couldn't even maintain his flying ability.
His domineering presence in front of the Shrek crowd just now was merely an act of pure willpower.
"Sect Master!" Flying Wing Douluo quickly caught Poison Douluo.
Spirit Brain Douluo stepped forward to examine him, his face filled with worry. "Chaotic soul power, severe internal injuries, dislocated bones. Such heavy injuries, this won't do. We must immediately return to the sect to treat the Sect Master."
With that, Flying Wing Douluo supported the unconscious Poison Douluo. Everyone maximized their speed, rushing back to the sect as quickly as possible.
Yuwen Tuo was also extremely worried. After all, one of the reasons Poison Douluo fought to the death with Mu En was also due to his involvement. No matter what, he couldn't let anything happen to Poison Douluo.
