Peerless Dragon and Serpent

Chapter 88 Peerless Dragon and Serpent

As it was drawn in, the jet-black spirit ring slowly enveloped the martial spirit on Li Xun's hand. The instant the two made contact, a surge of violent energy, accompanied by traces of electricity, rushed into Li Xun's body like a flood bursting its banks.

"Hiss~"

He clenched his teeth, and his forehead was instantly covered with fine beads of sweat.

Even with prior preparation, Li Xun still nearly couldn't bear the pain from the energy surge. This energy was far too immense for a Soul Master of his current level, far exceeding his current limits.

Li Xun's body was constantly being pushed up by energy that he couldn't absorb quickly, expanding like a balloon, only to deflate and return to its original state. Strands of electricity were slowly seeping out of his body because there was no effective way to release them.

His clothes were already tattered and torn by the electric current, revealing his solid muscles underneath, but beneath this strong exterior were cracks all over the place.

Blood slowly seeped out; every second was an immense torment for Li Xun.

"Brother Li Xun." Zhu Zhuqing clenched her hands tightly in front of her chest, her face full of worry.

Li Xun's impressive performance over the years made her subconsciously overlook the risks of absorbing spirit rings beyond her limits.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong became extremely anxious and rushed to Sword Douluo's side, wanting to ask if there was any way to help Li Xun reduce the risk.

"Rongrong, Zhuqing, you must believe in Xiaoxun. He has always been able to absorb spirit rings beyond his level since he was a child." The veins on the Sword Douluo's hands behind his back bulged.

He wasn't confident about Li Xun's ability to absorb knowledge beyond his level this time, but as an elder, he had to remain calm in front of the younger generation.

After calming Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing down, Sword Douluo turned his gaze to the distance. He sensed three auras approaching the cliff at an extremely fast speed.

Not long after.

Three figures appeared in Sword Douluo's field of vision.

Considering that Li Xun was at a critical moment, Sword Douluo instantly unleashed a powerful aura to intimidate outsiders.

Unexpectedly, the three were not surprised but delighted, and they even increased their speed, heading straight in this direction.

"The Dragon and Snake couple have met Your Majesty and dare to inquire about Your Majesty's title."

The person arrived before the voice.

Two elderly men, one male and one female, each holding a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, quickly approached Sword Douluo and bowed respectfully.

The two elderly men appeared to be in their fifties or sixties. Although they looked quite old at first glance, their clothing was clean and neat, and their full heads of white hair were combed very neatly. They were clearly people who paid great attention to etiquette.

But the girls between them seemed a bit more casual.

Although her looks were not as striking as Zhu Zhuqing's and Ning Rongrong's, her purple outfit was extremely daring, highlighting her curvaceous figure.

"So it's the peerless dragon and snake. My title is 'Sword'." Sword Douluo smiled slightly, nodded gently to the three of them, and withdrew his aura completely.

The legendary Dragon and Snake couple are quite famous on the mainland. Dragon Duke Meng Shu is an 80th-level Soul Douluo, while Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang is a 60th-level Soul Emperor.

Although the two are not strong on the surface, they have a martial soul fusion skill. With their soul power combined, they can contend with ordinary titled warriors.

"So it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sword Dao Chenxin." The dragon and snake couple exchanged a glance, relieved, and bowed again.

If it were any other account ban, they might be more cautious and leave this place as soon as possible.

However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always had a good reputation, and there are no negative comments about the titles bestowed upon them. So it's worth stopping here for a moment to ask what their plans are.

"Your Majesty, this place is not safe to linger. A 100,000-year-old soul beast is rushing towards us from behind." Dragon Lord Meng Shu leaned on his dragon-headed staff and slowly walked to Sword Douluo's side.

"I already knew about this." Sword Douluo glanced at the three with a smile. "This soul beast came to chase after the three of you?"

"Ahem, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. My wife and I are with our granddaughter, how could we dare to provoke such a powerful soul beast?"

Fearing that Sword Douluo might misunderstand, Dragon Lord waved his hands repeatedly: "My wife and I are currently with our granddaughter near the boundary between the inner and outer Star Dou, searching for a suitable soul beast for her."

Unexpectedly, the 100,000-year-old soul beast followed us like a madman, rushing out from the inner circle and heading straight in this direction. We had no idea what was happening and could only run away.

"Oh, judging from this young lady's soul power fluctuations, she has clearly just reached level 30. Why would you and your husband risk taking her to the inner circle to hunt for soul rings?" Sword Douluo expressed doubt about Dragon Duke's explanation.

The peerless dragon and snake couple stood in front of the 100,000-year-old soul beast, and did not avoid it even when they sensed its aura, which was largely an attempt to shift the blame.

If that's the case, then he'll have to teach them a lesson. He'll test the couple's Martial Soul Fusion Technique to see if it's as powerful as rumored, capable of contending with a titled expert.

"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. If it weren't for the circumstances, we would have already left the Star Dou Great Forest." Snake Granny's heart tightened when she saw the half-smile on Sword Douluo's face.

"A few days ago, my wife and I were chasing a Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, but unfortunately we were intercepted by a group of people. We had no choice but to stay here, hoping to find a similar soul beast as Yiran's third soul ring."

Snake Granny immediately recounted how she had fought with the Shrek Seven Devils over the soul beast.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Sword Douluo frowned slightly upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that this matter would involve the Shrek Academy students.

Snake Granny Chaotianxiang spoke angrily. It seemed that she had been quite frightened by the pursuit of the spirit beasts behind her, and her anger towards those who had stolen her granddaughter's spirit ring had also increased.

However, considering the character of the younger generation at Shrek Academy, Sword Douluo didn't say anything.

"This fourth spirit ring is ten thousand years! What incredible talent!" Just as Sword Douluo was talking with Snake Granny, Dragon Duke exclaimed.

For decades, the Dragon Lord had roamed the continent and had never heard of anyone being able to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring at level forty.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, the second spirit ring of this child who was absorbing the spirit ring was different from that of ordinary spirit masters. It was actually a purple thousand-year spirit ring.

Upon hearing this, Snake Granny and Meng Yiran were startled and quickly moved to the side, their gazes passing over Sword Douluo and looking towards Li Xun's location.

"This is impossible..."

"Huh?" Snake Granny and Meng Yiran were both astonished and exclaimed at the same time.

Li Xun is at a critical moment and cannot be disturbed in the slightest. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong frowned and quickly moved a few steps to the side to protect Li Xun behind them.

Seeing the two girls so wary, the Dragon King coughed lightly to hide his shock, while giving the Snake Woman a meaningful look.

"Your Majesty is too kind. It is truly this child's talent that has caused us to lose our composure." Dragon Lord led Snake Granny and Meng Yiran back to Sword Douluo's side, thus indicating that their side harbored no ill will.

"It's alright. Not to mention you, even the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is amazed by Xiao Xun's talent." Sword Douluo smiled and put his hands behind his back.

I've been by Xiaoxun's side every step of the way as she grows up. Now that the child is being praised by others, I feel proud too.

As a titled Douluo, he had heard countless praises in his life, and it had been a long time since he had felt truly satisfied.

"Your Majesty, this child is at a critical moment in absorbing the spirit ring. What are your plans next?" Long Gong said a few more words of flattery, then looked solemnly in the direction of the spirit beast.
