The Legend of the Dragon King

Millions of sword auras sailed through the air to cover Zang Xin’s body instantly. It was the Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!

Each sword’s blade aura had a unique debilitating effect. Each time he was hit, he would feel as if he had fallen into quicksand.

Since she was up against Zang Xin, the Dark Phoenix Douluo did not hold back. Her cultivation base was at rank-97. She was a top expert among the Hyper Douluos and had learned some Holy Spirit Cult Secret Techniques. However, she knew very well that there was still a huge gap between her skills and Zang Xin’s.

The Holy Spirit Cult could not craft their own four-word battle armors. It was one of the greatest problems they faced. Hence, she only had a three-word battle armor. Although her battle armor was at its maximum extent for a three-word, it was still much weaker than a four-word battle armor.

For this reason, the Holy Spirit Cult had approached the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua countless times. Without a Divine Craftsman, there was no way they could craft four-word battle armors.

However, the forces which supported the Holy Spirit Cult covertly understood that they could not allow these maniacs to have peak combat strength by possessing four-word battle armors. The forces which protected the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua were so powerful that the Holy Spirit Cult did not have the opportunity to coerce him into assisting them to craft the four-word battle armors.

A second Divine Craftsman had yet to appear on the continent.

The phoenix plume was also a kind of sword. It was made from a legendary phoenix’s plumes. By itself, it was not sharp, but it could unleash sword auras that were like sharp needles. The sword auras had the phoenix’s aura with incredible penetrating abilities.

The Dark Phoenix Douluo’s Dark Phoenix Plume was considered a divine weapon which was very powerful. It was one of her nine soul skills and also a potent ability of hers.

The Amorous Douluo snorted. He waved his glittering and translucent Amorous Sword silently. The air was blurred by a layer of mist. When the Dark Phoenix Plume’s sword aura encountered the mist, it disappeared immediately like a clay ox plunging into the ocean.

In addition, the peculiar mist spread outward at an irregular pace. The Holy Spirit Cult experts who were quickly retreating felt the air around them getting dense. Their speeds were clearly reduced, and they could not break free.

The Amorous Douluo dared not let his guard down when faced with a great expert such as the Dark Phoenix Douluo. The Tang Sect and Shrek Academy seemed to have a grudge against the Holy Spirit Cult. They loathed each other so much so that they could not bear to be near each other. As the saying went, one must be thorough in exterminating an evil. The Amorous Douluo did not have any intention of letting anyone escape. Hence, he used his battle armor’s Domain the first chance he got.

Amorous love loathed itself for wrongly devoting love for the heartless!

The two great Limit Douluos of the Tang Sect, the Heartless and the Amorous. As the saying went, amorous love loathed itself for wrongly devoting love for the heartless. Life could be cruel at times, but you might still meet people with compassion. It seemed to imply something. In reality, it was also the names of the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin’s and the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi’s Domains.

Amorous love loathes itself for wrongly devoting love for the heartless was inspired from the entangled feelings a man and a woman had for each other. When the Domain was unleashed, one’s emotions would be influenced and it would be difficult to extract oneself from the situation. It was a super powerful support-type Domain with a wide area of influence. Within the Domain, all attacks would be weakened and one’s speed would also be greatly reduced. The extent to which the soul master would be weakened was determined by the soul master’s cultivation base.

The Dark Phoenix Douluo’s Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix was a powerful move. However, it was no match for the Amorous love loathes itself for wrongly devoting love for the heartless. Evidently, it was also the case for the other evil soul masters. Their speeds slowed and they were moving in slow motion.

The Dark Phoenix Douluo dared not slack off. It was not her first encounter with Zang Xin. Naturally, she knew it would be difficult to deal with him. His Domain had once been known as the top three most loathed Domains among the three-word and higher ranked battle armor masters on Douluo Continent. It was like stickjaw. Once stuck, it was virtually impossible to break free.

The Darkness Phoenix Plume in her hand transformed instantly. She blew a sharp whistle and her sixth soul ring shone brightly. Amidst the darkness, a dark purple glow suddenly burst forth from the Darkness Phoenix Plume’s tip. It was pointed directly at the Amorous Douluo.

Under the scan of the purple light, it opened up a space in the Amorous Douluo’s Domain. Subsequently, she stomped the ground and the light ring under her feet unleashed a dark purple radiance. The dark purple flames spread outward in layers. Wherever the flames passed and collided with the Domain, the Domain’s powers would be diminished.

Upon confronting the dark purple radiance, Zang Xin’s body suddenly became translucent. His eyes were warm and gentle as he stared at the Dark Phoenix Douluo, seemingly looking at his most beloved woman. He had a grievous gaze. The instant she noticed his gaze, the Dark Phoenix Douluo quickly shut her eyes. The Amorous Douluo’s martial soul was the Amorous Sword. For those not familiar with him, he appeared to be an assault system battle soul master.

In reality, the Amorous Douluo was a spiritual control system battle soul master. It was an esoteric skill of his. Each of his soul skills was related to a kind of spiritual control. He was also known as the greatest controller. Among the known Limit Douluos, in terms of large-scale controlling abilities, he was definitely the best.

Zang Xin’s fifth soul ring shone. When the dark purple light shone on him, he vanished like a phantom. The dark purple light passed through him. In the next instant, Zang Xin was already upon the Dark Phoenix Douluo.

Retrospect!

It was a soul skill that was considered worthless by many back then. However, the Amorous Douluo had adopted it as his fifth soul skill. The skill was only effective against weaker opponents. It turned out to be an absolute great skill when applied correctly.

Its effects were simple. After he entered the condition of Retrospect, he would be immune to all energy-type attacks in an instant. Nonetheless, his illusory body was not immune to physical attacks.

When energy-type attacks hit his body, Retrospect’s effects would be activated. He would instantly backtrack along his opponent’s energy attack’s trajectory to appear before his opponent.

That was the function of this soul skill. It was deemed useless because the enemy had to be weaker. Otherwise, by unleashing Retrospect, he would appear right before the enemy. Would this not be considered committing suicide?

After Zang Xin had cultivated to the rank of a Title Douluo, the experts of the soul masters’ realm finally understood just how far-sighted he was.

Back then, the Spirit Pagoda’s master had commented about the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin. His words were, “Although the Amorous Douluo isn’t the most powerful Title Douluo I know, he’s an opponent whom I would not want to face. All his soul skills are despicable in every way imaginable.”

He was referring to none other than the Retrospect soul skill of Zang Xin.

The Retrospect could transport him to where his attacker was. As a spiritual control system soul master, Zang Xin had an array of formidable controlling soul skills. Qiangu Dongfeng almost gotten himself skinned alive during a sparring session with him.

Currently, the Dark Phoenix Douluo was facing Zang Xin’s immense power which was being unleashed.

The Retrospect had sent the Amorous Douluo to appear before the Dark Phoenix Douluo. Zang Xin’s eyes were full of emotion, seemingly reminiscing over a past event.

His voice was pleasing to her ear. He said softly, “Once.” His first soul ring shone.

The Dark Phoenix Douluo’s emotions went into a cheery state. Even though she had sealed her ears and eyes, she was still shaken by Zang Xin’s whispers. In the depths of her heart, she felt the feelings she had when she first met the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming.

Also, her Darkness Phoenix Plume instantly returned to its initial form when she unleashed the Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix.

His first soul skill, Once. It drew out the purest of emotions from the depths of the heart. A person’s heart and soul would be influenced as if struck by one’s first love. Everything would be rewound to where it was a second before.

It was his first soul skill! He had been selected into the Tang Sect’s inner hall precisely because of this soul skill. He was then carefully nurtured by the Douluo Hall.

The combination of both these soul skills, the Retrospect and Once could undo anything.

Every experienced soul master knew that once the Amorous Douluo’s Retrospect soul skill succeeded, it would be followed up with Once. However, even when they knew that these two soul skills would be used successively, they had no way of overcoming the deadly combination for a hundred years. The most they could do was to defend themselves in any way they could.

Nevertheless, the Amorous Douluo’s combo attack had its shortfalls. He could not unleash an attack directly because his own emotions would also be affected. Otherwise, he would be truly invincible.
