"Kid! You're right, in this world, strength is everything! You've messed with someone from Shrek Academy, and you're not leaving here easily until you give us an explanation!"
Flender's slightly sharp and gloomy voice, filled with undisguised anger, came from the street corner not far away, like the hooting of an owl.
Immediately afterwards, led by him, Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong and other teachers from Shrek Academy, with gloomy faces, quickly walked through the crowd of onlookers and came to the center of the field.
The sight before them instantly ignited their fury—Ma Hongjun lay limp on the ground like a lump of mud, his face smeared with blood, only able to utter weak groans.
Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others were on high alert, their faces filled with shock, anger, and humiliation; their opponents were merely a young man and a young woman.
Flender adjusted his signature crystal glasses, his gaze behind the lenses sharp as an eagle, fixed on the leisurely Jiang Zhen. His voice was icy and suppressed: "Dare to touch someone from Shrek Academy, kid? Don't you think you're taking me, Flender, too lightly?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen curled his lips into a contemptuous smile, not even bothering to give this so-called "Four-Eyed Cat Owl" Soul Saint a proper look.
He made a fist with his right hand, and the surrounding water vapor instantly condensed and compressed, exuding a powerful aura like that of the deep sea.
The next moment, he casually grasped a huge halberd with a ferocious shape and a cold gleam emanating from its blade.
The halberd tip pointed diagonally at the ground, and the invisible pressure seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
"What?" Jiang Zhen's voice was calm, yet carried a chilling undertone. "Want to test the sharpness of my halberd?"
Bing Di , who was standing to the side, was already impatient. Her emerald green eyes swept over the Shrek Academy teachers as if they were a few pieces of trash waiting to be disposed of.
She gently tugged at Jiang Zhen's sleeve, her tone a mixture of annoyance at being dampened and eagerness: "Zhen, why waste words with these small fry? I'll take on two, you take on two, let's finish this quickly, how about it?"
Jiang Zhen casually glanced at the group and said, "Alright. That old Soul Emperor and that short, fat Soul Saint are yours. This four-eyed cat-owl and that gorilla are mine."
"You arrogant brat!"
Zhao Wuji was known for his violent temper; he had never been treated with such contempt before.
He roared, his muscles bulged, and a powerful surge of soul energy began to emanate from him.
Although they couldn't discern Jiang Zhen and Bing Di 's specific levels, relying on their superior numbers and the fact that they were all Soul Saint level experts, they didn't believe that these two young men could cause any trouble.
"Martial Soul, Possess!"
Flender knew the importance of striking first, and although he was angry, his fighting instincts made him immediately summon his martial soul.
A giant phantom owl appeared behind him, its wings spread, bringing a strong gust of wind.
However, Jiang Zhen and Bing Di acted even faster!
Almost the instant Flender finished speaking, Bing Di 's figure vanished from its spot and appeared in front of Li Yusong and Yu Xiaogang as if by teleportation.
She didn't use any fancy soul skills; she simply raised her seemingly delicate, fair hand.
Absolute zero!
A wave of extreme cold swept over him, and before Li Yusong could even fully summon his Dragon Pattern Staff, he felt his soul power, blood, and even his thoughts being frozen in an instant!
His face remained frozen in astonishment, yet he had transformed into a lifelike ice sculpture, reflecting a chilling light under the streetlights.
Shao Xin didn't even react.
He felt an irresistible chill sweep over his entire body, turning him into an ice sculpture.
Bing Di didn't even bother to look at them a second time, as if they had just casually swatted two flies.
On the other hand, Jiang Zhen's actions were even more straightforward and brutal to the extreme.
Facing Flender, whose seven spirit rings shone brightly after the possession was complete, and Zhao Wuji, who had already possessed a martial spirit and exuded a violent aura, Jiang Zhen simply took a step forward casually.
This step, however, seemed to be touching the pulse of the entire space!
boom!
An invisible, terrifying pressure, as deep as a bottomless abyss, suddenly spread out from him!
Flender's figure, which had just taken off, suddenly froze, as if he had crashed into an invisible wall. With a muffled groan, he was forcefully pushed back to the ground, staggering backward with a look of horror on his face.
Zhao Wuji was the first to bear the brunt. He felt as if he was not facing a person, but rather the weight of the entire ocean!
His iconic Immovable King form, which he relied on for fame, groaned under the crushing weight of this pure aura, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
"True Spirit Body!"
Zhao Wuji's eyes were bloodshot as he felt an unprecedented threat of death. He roared and was about to unleash his strongest seventh soul skill at any cost.
However, Jiang Zhen had lost patience.
"Like an ant trying to shake a tree."
As the cold words fell, Jiang Zhen's Raging Tortoise Halberd moved.
There were no dazzling lights or shadows, no complicated moves, just the simplest and most direct thrust!
At the tip of the halberd, an extreme darkness condensed, as if swallowing all the light.
Pfft—!
A soft sound, like a hot knife cutting into solidified butter.
Zhao Wuji's illusory Martial Soul form, which was about to fully unfold, suddenly froze.
He looked down in disbelief at the menacing halberd that pierced his defenses as easily as through a sheet of paper, and then precisely pierced his heart!
The halberd tip emerged from his back, carrying a spray of scalding blood and shattered heart tissue.
"Well..."
Zhao Wuji opened his mouth, but could not utter a complete sound. The violence and anger in his eyes were quickly replaced by endless confusion and deathly silence.
His massive body swayed, then gradually went limp.
A Soul Saint, renowned for his defense and strength, was so easily killed with a single halberd strike!
quiet!
A deathly silence!
Everyone at Shrek Academy, whether students or teachers, stood frozen in place as if under a spell.
"Old Zhao!"
"Teacher Zhao!"
Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others let out heart-wrenching screams, their eyes filled with unbelievable terror.
The invincible Teacher Zhao in their hearts, the immovable King who could break through the encirclement of more than ten Soul Emperors of the Spirit Hall, just like that... died?
Flender watched helplessly as his old friend fell into a pool of blood, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot as he roared in anguish and rage: "No—!!!"
Jiang Zhen, expressionless, pulled the Raging Tiger Whale Halberd from Zhao Wuji's chest, leaving a trail of blood. He casually lifted his foot and kicked Zhao Wuji's still-warm corpse aside, as if cleaning up an eyesore of trash.
The halberd trembled slightly, unleashing a graceful flourish that dispersed all the bloodstains, restoring its dark, serpentine appearance as if it had never tasted blood.
His icy gaze swept over the remaining Shrek members, who were terrified, and his voice was like the pronouncement of death: "Anyone else who isn't afraid of death may continue."
Standing behind the students, Yu Xiaogang struggled to suppress his fear and unease, his voice trembling uncontrollably as he screamed, his voice a mixture of bravado and cowardice:
"This...this gentleman...to get by in this world, you need...not just strength...you also need...a powerful background...!"
"I...we are from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy! I...I am also the biological son of Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! I...I am also an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall, enjoying elder privileges...!"
He seemed to regain some confidence as he spoke, and although his voice still trembled, he tried to adopt a commanding tone: "Now... I... I order you... to stop immediately! Apologize to... to us! This matter... will... be over! Otherwise... the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Spirit Hall... will never let you off!"
Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others standing nearby were all taken aback upon hearing this.
They knew that Grandmaster came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but they didn't know that he also had the identity of an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall? This background sounds terrifying enough!
However, Jiang Zhen's reaction plunged them into despair.
Jiang Zhen seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world; the mocking curve at the corner of his mouth widened, turning into an undisguised sneer.
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon? Just a mudfish. Honorary Elder of the Spirit Hall? That's a joke."
His voice was full of disdain, "Is this all you're going to say before you die? These worthless titles? Are you done? Then get going."
He raised the Raging Tortoise Halberd in his hand once more, his chilling killing intent locking onto Yu Xiaogang!
Suddenly, a deep, hoarse voice, imbued with soul power, rang in Jiang Zhen's ears.
"Boy, this matter ends here! Some people are not to be trifled with! If you dare to make another move, I'll make sure you're nothing but dust!"
At the same time, a terrifying pressure, as imposing as a mountain and filled with domineering and bloodthirsty aura, surged from the shadows like an invisible tide, attempting to forcefully suppress Jiang Zhen's mind and make him submit.
The power of this pressure far surpasses that of a Soul Saint, and even ordinary Title Douluos would find it difficult to match!
Tang Hao , who had been hiding in the shadows, finally made his move.
To him, although Yu Xiaogang was a waste, he was still connected to the Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong, and might be useful to Tang San in the future, so he couldn't die now.
He was confident that with his reputation as Haotian Douluo and his powerful telepathic aura, he could intimidate this arrogant brat.
Jiang Zhen paused slightly due to the sudden transmission of sound and the oppressive aura.
He was indeed stunned for a moment, and instantly matched the source of the voice and the domineering aura in his mind— Tang Hao !
When Yu Xiaogang saw Jiang Zhen pause, the frozen fear on his face instantly transformed into a look of elation at surviving a disaster and a renewed sense of pride. He thought that his background had finally intimidated the other party, and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something polite.
But before he could utter a sound, Jiang Zhen's face showed an expression of extreme disgust.
He abruptly raised his head, his gaze like two cold lightning bolts, piercing precisely to a corner by the street. His voice carried clearly throughout the area, filled with contempt and provocation:
"Hiding your true colors and resorting to such underhanded tactics to fool people? Tang Hao ! You're just a stinking rat hiding in the gutter, are you too ashamed to face the light of day?"
These words shocked everyone present!
Tang Hao ?! Is he the legendary Haotian Douluo?! He's been lurking in the shadows all this time?!
"You're asking for it!"
Being directly called a "stinky rat" enraged Tang Hao , who was hiding in the shadows!
Boom!
A colossal black hammer, wreathed in a dark red aura of slaughter, descended like a meteor from the sky, tearing through the night without warning and crashing down upon Jiang Zhen with a terrifying force capable of destroying everything!
However, faced with this earth-shattering attack, Jiang Zhen merely snorted coldly and casually flicked and parried the Raging Tiger Whale Halberd from bottom to top!
Clang—!!!
A deafening clang, as if tearing the soul apart, resounded through the heavens!
A violent shockwave erupted from the point of impact, shattering the doors and windows of the surrounding shops!
The enormous phantom of the Haotian Hammer was actually deflected by Jiang Zhen's seemingly casual flick, crashing into the open ground in the distance and leaving a deep crater, but it did not harm Jiang Zhen in the slightest!
Jiang Zhen stood with his halberd in hand, his figure as steady as a rock, not even the hem of his clothes was disheveled.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, a tall, imposing figure, dressed in a tattered black cloak, stepped out of the shadows.
With each step he took, a spirit ring quietly appeared beneath his feet, as if he were climbing stairs towards the throne.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black...
When the eighth black spirit ring appeared, the Shrek Academy members almost stopped breathing.
Then, the ninth spirit ring, with a soul-chilling crimson color, rose slowly like a blood moon descending!
Red! A 100,000-year soul ring!
A Title Douluo! And a Title Douluo with a 100,000-year soul ring!
"Dad! Is that you, Dad!"
Tang San trembled with excitement, tears welling in his eyes. His blacksmith father, who was usually a drunkard, was now appearing before him with such an overwhelming and domineering presence?!
Tang Hao 's gaze, hidden beneath his cloak, burned like two will-o'-the-wisps as he stared intently at the calm Jiang Zhen. His voice was hoarse and filled with murderous intent: "Little San, let me deal with this ignorant brat first..."
He knew that going all out in a battle within Heaven Dou City would attract the attention of the royal family and the Spirit Hall. Although confident, he did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
He said in a deep voice, "Kid, you've got some skills. If you can't fight here, dare to come with me outside the city?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen pointed the Raging Tortoise Halberd at Tang Hao again, its tip gleaming coldly. His expression remained calm and even carried a hint of pre-hunt amusement.
"Since you, you stinking rat, have come out on your own, I'll take you in first, then I'll come crush these little bugs!"
