Chapter 514: The End of Shrek Academy
“I should have poisoned you all five years ago!” Du Bu Si’s gaze swept across Xuan Zi on the ground, then turned to the Shrek people who were being controlled by the soul masters, his eyes burning with rage and deep regret.
Can Long Xiaoyao, an Extreme Douluo alone, stop the beast tide?
Elder Lin and the others looked ashen, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Du, we don't want to..."
Before he finished speaking, Du Bu Si's roar came: "Don't want to? Can you erase this blood feud if you don't want to? Look at the city, how many soul masters have died in the mouths of beasts? I would rather bear the bad reputation five years ago and slaughter all of you scourges than to see this tragic situation today!"
At this moment, a white shadow fell from the sky like a stream of light and landed beside Xuanzi, frightening the soul beasts that had gathered around so that they dared not approach even a step. Xuanzi's body was cut into a human stick, lying in a pool of blood, his weak breathing was almost inaudible, but his turbid eyes suddenly widened when he saw Bai Hongying, revealing a trace of desperate fear.
Bai Hongying ignored the gazes coming from all directions. He squatted down, with the tip of the knife stopping an inch in front of Xuanzi's throat. The dark golden light reflected Xuanzi's sloppy and painful face.
"Xuan Zi, where is my granddaughter?"
Xuan Zi’s cloudy eyes slightly opened and a hoarse groan came out of his throat. He said intermittently: "Xiao Chi...she...the God of Phoenix refused...to take action...she...she was taken away by the ferocious beast...I don’t know..." Blood foam overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and it was obvious that he had exhausted all his strength to even speak.
The jumping knife drew a subtle dark golden light and landed accurately on the stump of Xuanzi's right shoulder.
With a light "Puff" sound, the blade cut into the flesh, shaving off a piece of skin as thin as a cicada's wing. Blood oozed out, and Xuanzi's body trembled violently, letting out a low wail. Bai Hongying had no expression on his face. The blade flashed again, and he slashed off another piece from his left shoulder. His movements were slow, as if he was savoring every moment of revenge.
Bai Hongying silently held the jumping knife and cut along Xuanzi's chest, peeling off pieces of flesh and blood, revealing the white ribs. Xuanzi's screams became more and more shrill, but the sound became intermittent due to blood loss and gradually weakened.
This horrific torture was seen by the beasts and spirit masters, which made them feel happy. One spirit master even suggested that everyone in Shrek Academy be executed in this way, which was enthusiastically supported by most people.
Bai Hongying used his last knife to pick out the torso soul bone, and the light emitted by the soul bone reflected the blood.
Bai Hongying stood in place, wiping his knife slowly and leisurely. The surrounding soul beasts did not dare to approach, as if they were afraid of the terrifying power of the jumping knife that could tear through space.
Even the ferocious beasts did not dare to move forward rashly, until the bear king touched his head and widened his eyes, "It can be seen that his knife was made of my claws, hehe!"
Then it was whipped by the King of All Demons with a branch.
"You still have to continue acting! Be serious!"
"Hehe! Humans, what if you kill the culprit? I want all of you to pay with blood!" When King Bear noticed that the Emerald Swan and the Hell Dragon were staring at him with unfriendly eyes, he instantly immersed himself in the role.
Bai Hongying watched coldly without saying a word, turned around and turned into a white light, heading straight to the north. The moment his figure disappeared, the soul beasts surged over like a tide. In the blink of an eye, Xuanzi's flesh and soul bones were snatched away by the soul beasts, and even the blood was buried by the dust.
The Bear King roared and the beast tide attacked again. Long Xiaoyao was besieged by the four ferocious beasts and could not hold on alone. The Soto City was on the verge of crumbling.
Elder Lin was trembling all over. Even so, in order to preserve the only strength of Shrek Academy, she had to force herself to clear her throat, and injected soul power into her voice, which spread loudly throughout the venue: "Dear reinforcements, fellow soldiers from Soto City, please listen to me!"
The soul masters were stunned, and all looked annoyed: "Shrek still has the nerve to talk? What tricks are you trying to play?"
Elder Lin gritted his teeth and continued, "We, the Shrek Academy, are to blame for what Elder Xuan did! He tore up the contract and provoked the ferocious beast, which led to today's disaster. We are willing to take all the responsibility for him!" There was a tremor in her voice, but she tried to stay calm. "But in the face of the beast tide, if we lose our composure, it will only allow the soul beasts to succeed. Everyone, we are willing to swear by our martial spirits to accept any punishment after the war. We only hope to unite and defend Soto City together!"
As soon as these words came out, discussions broke out in the city. Du Bu Si narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Take responsibility? That's easy to say! You're admitting your mistakes now, not because you know you're wrong, but because you know you're going to die! But..." He paused, his eyes swept towards the approaching beast tide, "Humph, let's keep this account for now, and we'll talk about it after the fight!"
Du Bu Si had said so, and although the other reinforcements had some reservations, they also went out of the city to resist the beast tide. The soul beasts attacked frantically, and with the help of the reinforcements, the city defense troops on the top of the city were firmly guarded, and the battle between the two sides entered a complete stalemate.
Unfortunately, when it rains, it pours. Just as Long Xiaoyao was in a stalemate with the beast, a rapid sound of breaking through the air came from afar. A Titled Douluo wearing a Dragon Pavilion uniform came rushing over. He had an icy aura and nine soul rings flashing behind him. He was obviously coming from the distant northern border. He was suspended in the air a few hundred meters away from Long Xiaoyao and said urgently: "Lord Dragon Emperor, urgent news from the northern border! A beast tide has erupted in the far north. The Far North Heavenly King is in charge of this beast tide. Jade Dragon Douluo, please return to Dragon City as soon as possible to take charge of the situation!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked, especially the spirit masters of Tianlongmen and Dilongmen, who were even more shocked, because their hometown was in Dragon City!
How could Soto City be as important as Dragon City? Moreover, these were all troubles caused by Shrek Academy. Helping them was a favor (although there was no favor), but when Dragon City was in trouble, it was no wonder that they were trying to protect themselves.
Long Xiaoyao frowned suddenly, turned his head to look at the Title Douluo, and said in a deep voice: "Something happened in the North? Lord of the Far North... Why did they suddenly attack?" There was a hint of doubt in his voice. The current Lord of the Far North was the Ice Sky Dragon Girl Shiva, who was definitely one of his own! However, this did give him the most sufficient reason to evacuate this place of trouble.
The visitor lowered his head and said, "I don't know the details, but the beast tide is unprecedented in scale and is coming with great force. If you don't go back, I'm afraid the North Territory will..." His tone was urgent, and it was obvious that the situation was urgent.
Long Xiaoyao frowned, his eyes moving between Soto City and the envoy, and whispered, "Longcheng..." There was a hint of hesitation in his voice. It might not be a good idea to just run away, so he had to pretend.
But the soul masters from Tianlongmen and Dilongmen could no longer sit still and asked Long Xiaoyao to take them back to Longcheng for support. For a time, the morale of the Soto City defenders dropped sharply.
Just when Long Xiaoyao was in a dilemma, Du Bu Si suddenly flew forward, and a large amount of green light filled the air, and he actually resisted the huge pressure from the ferocious beasts.
"Old Long, you should go now! The environment in the north is harsh. Dragon City won't last long without an Extreme Douluo like you. Leave this to me!" His voice was as loud as thunder, with unquestionable determination.
Long Xiaoyao had a complicated look in his eyes. He deserved to let Mu Xing see what an honest man was.
Seeing that Long Xiaoyao was still hesitating, Du Bu Si snorted coldly, shook his body, and turned into a giant 100 meters tall in the air. A strong green light bloomed all over his body, and a golden halo was faintly visible in the green light, looking like a solemn statue of a god.
"As long as the Beast God Emperor Tian doesn't fight, I can handle it! Soto City is just a plain battlefield, the ice and snow in the north are deadly. You are the pillar of Dragon City, go back quickly and don't waste time here!"
Long Xiaoyao glanced at the ferocious beast in the distance, his lips moved, and he tried his best to save the man's life.
Then he looked at Du Bu Si, "Try your best to show your strength, intimidate them, strive for a chance to negotiate, and hold on as long as possible until we come back!" He slapped out with his palm, and the phantom of a dragon claw forced back the ferocious beast, then turned into a black light and disappeared into the sky with his subordinates.
“As long as the Beast God doesn’t go into battle? Isn’t Senior too confident?” Huo Yuhao, who was hiding in the beast tide with simulated soul skills, curled his lips. He didn’t expect that the first war he participated in would be a war between soul beasts and humans.
He had to hide his body. The ferocious beasts were fine, but if those unintelligent soul beasts saw him riding on the auspicious beast, there was a high probability that new unrest would break out. More importantly, he could not be exposed in front of those powerful humans.
In mid-air, after Du Bu Si urged Long Xiaoyao to return to the Northern Territory to take charge of the situation, he led the Titled Douluo to fight against the four ferocious beasts. The morale of the soul masters in Soto City was slightly boosted, but they still could not hide their anger towards Shrek and their despair about the situation.
After using his own poison to force back the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, Du Bu Si knew that this was not a long-term solution. With the help of the Emerald Swan, humans would sooner or later fall into decline. He had no choice but to adopt the advice left by Long Xiaoyao.
He took a deep breath, and his loud voice spread across the battlefield: "Stop, I have something to say!"
The King of Ten Thousand Demons subconsciously looked downward and used branches to form a barrier in front of him.
Du Bu Si said in a deep voice: "I know you are here for Xuan Zi's crimes! He tore up the contract, attacked the Red King, and attempted to kidnap the auspicious beast. We accept this debt! But if we continue to fight like this, Soto City will be destroyed, and you soul beasts will have to pay the price. The Xingdou Great Forest wants peace, or rivers of blood. It's your choice!"
The Monster King sneered: "Peace? You humans were treacherous first, and it's too late to beg for mercy now!"
Du Bu Si suppressed his anger and continued, "Xuan Zi is dead. Shrek's crimes should not be borne by all humans. We will not protect them. You can do whatever you want with them. But if the beast tide breaks through the city, Tianhun, Xingluo, and Douling will not give up. The Sun and Moon Empire is waiting to reap the benefits. Why not negotiate terms and end the war with a ceasefire? If you want to fight to the death, I will accompany you to the end! If I detonate the soul core here, Emerald Swan will not be able to save you, and even she herself will be in trouble! Not only you, but also hundreds of thousands of soul beasts below will be killed or injured!"
"Do you think we are afraid of you?" Facing the threat from Du Bu Si, the Bear King roared and raised his claws to tear him apart, but the King of Ten Thousand Demons entangled his forearms with branches.
"Calm down, he doesn't look like he's joking!"
Xian Lin'er and others who were fighting in the battle changed their expressions. They would rather self-destruct than be handed over to the soul beast by Du Bu Si to vent his anger. However, Du Bu Si had already planned to explode with the ferocious beast, and other forces would never let them go. They could fully predict that no matter what the situation would be, Shrek Academy would be completely wiped out from Douluo Continent. It would be fine for the outer courtyard students, but the families of Shrek's senior and inner courtyard disciples would also be very likely to be implicated.
"How do you want to talk?" A clear female voice sounded, accompanied by the deep roar of soul beasts. The soul beast army parted like a tide, leaving a wide passage. Then, a gorgeous figure stepped out - more than three meters long, eight feet tall at the shoulder, covered with a layer of golden hair, shining in the sun, like translucent crystal, full of strange texture. Its shape resembled a lion, but more majestic, with four claws like dragons, and under each dragon claw was a ball of jumping golden flames.
The soul beasts surrounded it, and when it passed by, they prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to look directly at it. Even the flying soul beasts fell down one after another. The four fierce beasts stood on both sides, appearing respectful and cautious in front of the auspicious beast. The auspicious beast walked forward slowly, and each step brought an invisible pressure. The golden flames left scorch marks on the ground, and the air was filled with a hot breath.
Similarly, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Fu Rui also chose to appear in the form of a soul beast.
Everyone's eyes were firmly attracted by this sacred and majestic creature. Du Bu Si's eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed in a low voice: "This is... this is the emperor's auspicious beast?!" There was disbelief in his voice. As a level 98 Super Douluo, he had never seen such a strange and powerful soul beast. The aura emitted by the golden flames and vertical pupils made him feel a chill in his heart.
The soul masters who were fighting were even more stunned. Nebula Douluo, who was fighting for the Xing Luo Empire, took a breath of cold air, "Oh my God... Is this the soul beast that Xuanzi wanted to kidnap?!" She stared at the dragon claw stepping on the golden flame, her throat dry, "This momentum is not inferior to those ferocious beasts!" It seems that Xing Dou's trump card is hidden very deeply!
Even the people at Shrek thought Xuan Zi was really crazy. How dare you kidnap this thing by yourself? Also, why didn't you just fight him like Du Bu Si did? Is being tortured to death a decent thing?
