NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 141: Is There a Possibility That You’re Just Too Weak?
Chapter 141: Is There a Possibility That You're Just Too Weak?
"What, all dead!"
"That was more than a dozen Soul Saint level powerhouses, and they were even boosted by soul skills from support soul masters. At least seventy percent of them had the strength of Soul Douluos."
The Marshal and the others were even more shocked from afar.
However.
While everyone was still in shock, the Thunder Titan swiftly grabbed one of the Soul Saints in its hand.
Ugh, ah.
The Soul Saint immediately let out a scream.
The thunderous power entwined around the Thunder Titan's palm gave him a sensation of excruciating agony.
"What are you waiting for, attack together and kill him!"
The Marshal was the first to recover and loudly issued the command.
Yet, before anyone could act, the Thunder Titan performed a chilling act that froze everyone's blood.
With a tug of its hands, the Soul Saint was torn in half, and then, like discarding trash, the Thunder Titan threw the Soul Saint's corpse away.
"Are you, are you a demon?"
The Marshal's eyelids twitched.
He had come through a sea of blood, but few were as bloodthirsty as Qin Xiao.
Hearing the Marshal's words, Qin Xiao thought seriously for a moment, then nodded, "To my enemies, yes."
In Qin Xiao's mind, once someone was determined to be an enemy, no method was too brutal.
He wanted to instill fear in his enemies, to deter anyone from offending him.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Someone initiated the chant, and soon, a battle cry echoed.
They charged towards Qin Xiao, alongside the Marshal, like madmen.
"Star Shine Technique."
As they charged, an anomaly occurred; streaks of starlight fell upon them.
Under Qin Xiao's watch, the aura of five or six out of the eight surged in an instant.
They even gave off a strong impression.
And a crown of stars also descended upon Qin Xiao.
Of course, the effect it brought was completely opposite to the others; Qin Xiao clearly felt a force suppressing him.
Speed, strength, soul power, and even the range of his spiritual sense were diminishing.
"Looks like this is the legendary Star Crown martial soul?"
Qin Xiao frowned slightly, surmising the identity of their wielder.
The Star Crown martial soul, during his era, was deeply hidden.
But in later generations, it became the ruler of the Star Luo Empire, its power not to be underestimated.
"But you're ultimately wrong."
Qin Xiao looked at the charging crowd, shaking his head with pity.
The weakening affected me, but what does that have to do with the Thunder Titan?
Facing these people, Qin Xiao didn't even bother to act himself.
Roar!
The Thunder Titan roared and extended its massive hand, swatting two people away.
No way.
Comparable to a Title Douluo but not actually being one.
Even if their soul power reached the standard, without a Title Douluo's ninth soul skill, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
"It's fine, those two being repelled created an opportunity for us. Now, this beast's face is its biggest opening."
"Everyone, attack its head with me."
Seeing this, the Marshal was not alarmed but pleased.
Under his lead, except for the Soul Douluo controlling Liu Erlong, the remaining five charged at the Thunder Titan like madmen.
They knew that this Thunder Behemoth was like a mountain; only by destroying it could they hope to kill Qin Xiao hiding behind it.
Seeing their intention, Qin Xiao smiled slightly, "Didn't expect you'd so wish for the Thunder Titan to die. Then let it die."
His voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard it clearly.
"What does this mean?"
"Is he giving up on resisting?"
"..."
A look of astonishment flashed in everyone's eyes.
They didn't understand what Qin Xiao meant.
But then, a bizarre scene unfolded; as Qin Xiao commanded, the Thunder Titan indeed stopped attacking.
What's going on?
The Marshal and the others found it even more strange.
But this hesitation was only momentary.
The next instant, after exchanging glances, they made a decision.
"Damn everything, brothers, since this kid is seeking death, let's grant his wish."
With the Marshal's command, he, wielding a huge axe with a blade stretching over a dozen meters, aimed to decapitate the Thunder Titan.
Clearly, he intended to kill it in one strike.
Not just him, the others also used their ultimate moves.
Various dazzling and powerful soul skills were hurled at the Titan like they cost nothing.
"Ah, what's with these people and one soul skill?"
Seeing this, Qin Xiao inwardly sneered.
Since you all so desire it, I'll grant it to you.
Thinking so, he spoke softly, "Self-destruct."
As his voice fell, fine cracks appeared on the Thunder Titan's body, with powerful thunderous energy bursting out.
Boom!
Like the sky collapsing and the earth cracking, a small mushroom cloud rose from the scene.
Far away, Liu Erlong was being carried away by a Soul Douluo, running frantically.
Farther away.
Some support soul masters hidden in the shadows were stunned.
They had never seen such a powerful soul skill in their lives.
After a while.
As the dust settled.
When Liu Erlong could see the figure becoming clear within the dissipating dust, her eyes showed a sense of relief.
Good.
Qin Xiao wasn't dead.
"How, how are you not dead?"
The Soul Douluo beside Liu Erlong showed a look of terror in his eyes.
After pondering for a moment upon hearing the question, Qin Xiao seriously replied, "Is there a possibility that you're just too weak?"
"You..."
The Soul Douluo was at a loss for words.
More than twenty Soul Saints and seven Soul Douluo level powerhouses, and you call such a lineup weak?
To assemble such a force, the Star Luo Empire had practically emptied its coffers.
Even the emperor's personal guard was dispatched.
And yet, they were nearly annihilated!
Following this battle, the Star Luo Empire was severely weakened, and it was unknown how long it would take to recover.
"Cough cough, kid, don't be too arrogant. I'm not dead yet!"
At this moment, not far from Qin Xiao, a person struggled to rise.
It was none other than the leader known as the Marshal.
His face was covered in blood and scars, and without his mask, his features were indiscernible.
However, Qin Xiao saw burning rage in his eyes.
"Eh, you're actually not dead?"
Qin Xiao showed a hint of surprise.
Hearing this, the Marshal's eyes filled with sorrow.
His survival was the result of two other Soul Douluos sacrificing themselves to protect him.
"I, I'm going to fight you to the death!"
As he said this, the Marshal gathered his last bit of strength and charged towards Qin Xiao.
"The you just now couldn't do it, and the you now have even less of a chance."
Seeing this, Qin Xiao shook his head slightly and then threw a punch towards the Marshal with his left hand.
Titan Sky Cannon!
Boom.
The air groaned under the burden.
The next moment, a hole the size of a bowl appeared in the Marshal's chest.
"Marshal!"
The last Soul Douluo on the field let out a desperate cry.
The Marshal slowly turned around, opened his mouth as if to say something, but before a word could come out, he slowly fell.
"Now it's your turn. Release Liu Erlong, and I might choose to leave your body intact."
"Or, I'll personally make sure you're obliterated."
Qin Xiao's light voice floated across the field and into the ears of the remaining Soul Douluo.
"Ha, hahaha."
He laughed as if he had heard a joke, "You've killed so many of us, and you expect me to spare her?"
"It's not impossible. Commit suicide. Exchange your life for hers."
His face became increasingly deranged.
"Ah, this..."
Qin Xiao paused, seemingly troubled.
"Hmph, so you refuse?"
"How about this, I'll show you a treasure," Qin Xiao said seriously.
Undoubtedly, the man rejected Qin Xiao's proposal.
I want your life, and you want to show me a treasure?
What a joke!
"To tell you the truth, I am a professional dead man; no treasure can sway my heart. I only want your life, or his."
The Soul Douluo beside Liu Erlong spoke with a cold tone.
And Liu Erlong also secretly shook her head at Qin Xiao, as if to tell him she wasn't worth him doing this, just kill the man and avenge her.
However.
Qin Xiao's decisions weren't easily swayed by others.
The next moment, soul rings began to emerge from beneath Qin Xiao's feet.
Red!
The first one was a startling red soul ring.
Far away, the remaining Soul Douluo was stunned.
His heart throbbed violently in that instant.
But, the next moment, the third soul ring on Qin Xiao suddenly lit up.
And he vanished from the spot.
"Where did he go?"
The Soul Douluo was dumbfounded.
"Don't look. I'm right behind you."
Qin Xiao's voice sounded eerily from behind.
"You!"
He spun around to see Qin Xiao with a cold smile on his lips, looking at him indifferently.
"If I can't kill you, I'll kill Liu Erlong!"
His heart hardened, knowing that at this point, he could only take someone down with him.
He intended to exert force, aiming to crush Liu Erlong's throat.
But to his horror, he found he couldn't exert any strength at all.
No.
To be precise.
He had lost sensation in his arm.
Looking down, he found his arm had been... Severed.
What kind of speed was required to sever the arm of a Soul Douluo before he could even react?
But that was his last thought.
A thunderous hammer descended from the sky, instantly smashing him to pieces.
"Is it over?"
Seeing this, Liu Erlong felt a wave of relief, followed by a wave of exhaustion.
Fortunately, Qin Xiao was quick to act, extending his hand to wrap around Liu Erlong's slender waist. He gently pulled her head to rest against his chest.
"Are you alright?"
"Is there any discomfort in your body?"
Qin Xiao looked down at Liu Erlong in his arms, asking with concern.
"I'm okay, just injured before..."
Liu Erlong spoke weakly, then as if remembering something, she hastily said, "Don't worry about me for now. Those support soul masters who were ambushing from afar have escaped. You can't let them go."
"Otherwise, once they return to the Star Luo Empire, they will regroup and pose a threat to you."
She was visibly anxious about this matter.
"It's okay, they won't get away."
Qin Xiao smiled faintly, confidently replying.
In fact, after the self-destruction of the Thunder Titan, he could no longer sense the presence of those support soul masters, knowing then they must have retreated.
"Did you have backup?"
Liu Erlong guessed something.
Qin Xiao smiled slightly, then looked towards a certain direction, "He's here."
Liu Erlong followed his gaze to see a streak of green light appearing in the sky.
Soon, it arrived in front of Qin Xiao and Liu Erlong.
A Title Douluo level powerhouse!
Liu Erlong's pupils constricted, guessing the identity of the newcomer.
At this moment, Qin Xiao introduced, "Let me introduce you. This is Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo."
Poison Douluo.
Liu Erlong wasn't very surprised; she had heard a bit about the relationship between Qin Xiao and Dugu Bo.
She said, "I've seen your Highness."
Dugu Bo's gaze flashed, "You're injured."
He said, taking out a pill, "Take this for now. It can stabilize your condition temporarily. I'll treat you later."
Liu Erlong hesitated to take it.
After all, Dugu Bo's reputation preceded him; was it really safe to consume anything he offered?
Dugu Bo's face turned green.
"Ha ha ha, Dugu Bo, it's not that I'm questioning your character, but really, you're not helping."
Seeing this, Qin Xiao laughed, then assured Liu Erlong, "Erlong, you can eat it without worry, it's fine."
"Okay."
Liu Erlong nodded and took the pill from Dugu Bo, placing it gently in her mouth.
Instantly, her eyes brightened.
Hmm, cool and refreshing with a hint of mint, surprisingly tasty.
More miraculously, in just a dozen breaths, Liu Erlong felt much better.
Her soul power began flowing more freely again.
Even, she was able to move independently without Qin Xiao's support.
"Thank you, senior."
She expressed her gratitude to Dugu Bo once more.
However, Dugu Bo clearly did not accept her thanks, "You don't have to thank me. We have no connection. If it weren't for Qin Xiao finding me, I wouldn't have come. Thank him instead."
Eh.
A look of astonishment crossed Liu Erlong's face.
Qin Xiao merely smiled slightly.
It was very much in line with Dugu Bo's eccentric character.
Direct and straightforward, no need to force a relationship where there isn't one.
"Then I thank you," Qin Xiao said cheerfully.
"Hmph, stop with the nonsense. Just give me two more acres of medicinal fields next time, that's better than anything."
Dugu Bo snorted.
However, Qin Xiao did not respond to him this time.
Asking for two acres of medicinal fields, what a joke?
"How did it go? Did anyone escape?" he then asked.
"Against a group of pure support soul masters with virtually zero combat capability, could I possibly fail?"
Hearing Qin Xiao's words, Dugu Bo rolled his eyes dramatically, then pulled out from a spatial soul device... Human heads.
