NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 176: Challenging the Guardians of the Seven Holy Pillars
Chapter 176: Challenging the Guardians of the Seven Holy Pillars
"The aura is so terrifying, even with my cultivation, I can't withstand such an attack."
"Although this person has a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, his cultivation is only at the ninety-fourth or fifth level. How can he be so strong?"
The heart of the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King was trembling.
Even though it was a ruler roaming the sea, fear filled its heart.
"Quick, dive into the deep sea!"
The Evil Demon Tiger Whale King roared angrily, not caring about the reaction of its clan at all, and dove first.
In any case, it couldn't let itself fall into danger.
"Are you still thinking you can leave now?"
Qin Xiao looked down coldly at the Evil Demon Tiger Whale's actions.
Using his mental power, he slowly pushed the seven Thunderbolt Stars to launch an attack.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The speed of the thunder was incredibly fast.
Even when a large number of thunderbolts converged into thunderbolt planets, their speed did not diminish much, which could be described as terrifying.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
The Thunderbolt Stars fell onto the sea surface, erupting with powerful soul power, causing a huge mushroom cloud to rise on the sea surface.
"No wonder, no wonder he wanted us to retreat so far."
Even though they were fifty miles away, Xiaobai could still feel the terrifying power contained within.
Honestly speaking, if it were caught in the center of that energy storm, it wouldn't survive.
Beside Xiaobai, hundreds of members of the Demonic Soul Great White Shark tribe were also stunned.
They knew Qin Xiao was powerful, but they had never thought he could be this powerful.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
A fifteen-meter-long Demonic Soul Great White Shark asked with a trembling voice.
"We don't need to do anything, just wait."
Xiaobai stopped the tribe's attempt to investigate.
It feared that if they got too close, the tribe members might be accidentally injured.
At the same time, it also believed that with Qin Xiao's cultivation level, they didn't need to take action at all.
At least for now.
After who knew how long, Xiaobai's gaze condensed.
When the thunderstorm dissipated, the sea surface was in chaos.
Blood had dyed the sea ahead red, and the bloody smell spread far with the sea water and the sea breeze.
Countless huge corpses undulated with the waves.
One hundred, two hundred, or five hundred?
Xiaobai didn't know, and couldn't see clearly.
Only by going near each corpse could an accurate count be obtained.
It didn't have the mood to think about so much now.
Because Qin Xiao's arrival occupied all its attention.
"Y-your Majesty."
"Are you, are you injured?"
Xiaobai tried hard to suppress its excited emotions, but its voice still trembled.
If it was the Sea God and Poseidon it feared the most before, now it had to add Qin Xiao to the list.
And Qin Xiao had to rank very high on that list.
Qin Xiao shook his head slightly, "You can now take your tribe to clean up the battlefield and even enter the territory where the Evil Demon Tiger Whales are located to reclaim your lost territory, and even obtain more."
"Your Majesty, does this mean... the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King?"
Xiaobai suddenly thought of a possibility.
"It's already dead."
Qin Xiao replied indifferently.
Yes, the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King was dead. Under the bombardment of the seven Thunderbolt Stars, apart from a soul bone, nothing was left.
At the same time, he also took out the soul bone from the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King's body and showed it to Xiaobai.
"It's true. This is real!"
"It's dead, that damned fellow is really dead."
"Brother, did you see that? Your revenge has been avenged today."
"Rest in peace, our deceased tribesmen."
Xiaobai's voice was very complicated.
Qin Xiao could see crystalline tears overflowing from Xiaobai's eyes.
He knew this was tears of joy.
"Don't cry, take action."
"I also need to return to the Sea God Island for my next assessment."
Qin Xiao said, walking past Xiaobai's side.
Many Demonic Soul Great White Sharks spontaneously made way for Qin Xiao.
Their gaze towards Qin Xiao also changed.
Full of awe and gratitude.
"Your Majesty, you are the benefactor of our Demonic Soul Great White Shark tribe. If you need anything, even if Xiaobai has to risk its life, it will repay your kindness."
"My tribe is also willing to give everything for you."
Watching Qin Xiao's back, Xiaobai shouted loudly.
It was very grateful.
However.
Qin Xiao didn't look back, just waved his hand with his back to Xiaobai.
"Your Majesty still hasn't returned."
On the Sea God Island, in front of the Seahorse Holy Pillar, Ning Rongrong couldn't conceal her worry.
"Rongrong, have you ever thought about what His Majesty went to do?"
"He went to kill powerful hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, and one of them is one of the three overlords of the Sea Soul Beasts, the Sea Spirit Beast. How could he come back so soon?"
Dugu Yan paused for a moment before continuing, "But, rest assured, His Majesty will definitely return safely."
Ning Rongrong nodded heavily, "Mm."
"Rongrong, Yan Yan, he's back."
Suddenly, Meng Yiran lightly exclaimed, pointing to the distance.
Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan's gaze followed.
Sure enough.
Qin Xiao was walking towards them with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, you're back."
"Did you succeed?"
"Rongrong, isn't that question unnecessary? Is there a possibility of failure when His Majesty takes action?"
The group surrounded Qin Xiao and chattered like sparrows.
Qin Xiao gave an affirmative answer, "The Evil Demon Tiger Whale King has been slain by me. The King of the Demonic Soul Great White Sharks is cleaning up the aftermath, and the third trial has been completed."
"Congratulations, Qin Xiao."
Far away, the Sea Horse Douluo rushed over to congratulate him.
His face was still full of complexity.
The strength of the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King was well known to him.
As a hundred-thousand-year soul beast with powerful cultivation, and guarded by numerous clan members, no one could kill it without the intervention of the Great Sacrifice of Sea God Island. Even the strongest of the seven Holy Pillar Guardians, the Sea Dragon Douluo, couldn't do it.
He couldn't help but admire in his heart. What kind of successor had the Sea God found?
"Thank you."
Qin Xiao clasped his hands in gratitude to the Sea Horse Douluo.
The Sea Horse Douluo smiled and nodded, about to turn and leave. But Qin Xiao saw his intention and stopped him, "Please wait a moment."
"Do you have any more business?" The Sea Horse Douluo was somewhat surprised. He didn't know what Qin Xiao wanted.
Qin Xiao smiled slightly, "I want to undertake the next trial."
"The next trial."
The Sea Horse Douluo was taken aback.
If you want to undertake it, just do it. Why bother telling me about it? Can I still control you?
"Is it too soon? Don't you want to rest for a while?"
"I don't think it's necessary."
After listening to the Sea Horse Douluo's words, Qin Xiao shook his head calmly.
"Alright then, good luck to you." The Sea Horse Douluo didn't know what else to say.
"Thank you." Qin Xiao nodded and asked, "I wonder if you have time now to accept my challenge?"
"I have time."
"Wait a minute."
"What did you say? You want to challenge me?"
The Sea Horse Douluo widened his eyes, looking at Qin Xiao with a puzzled and bewildered expression.
He even doubted whether he had misheard.
"Yes."
Qin Xiao nodded gently. "My fourth trial is to defeat the seven Holy Pillar Guardians within twelve hours. It's better to strike while the iron is hot. So I decided to challenge the Guardian of the Seahorse Holy Pillar first."
That's right.
Challenging the seven Holy Pillar Guardians was the next trial for Qin Xiao.
And Qin Xiao's task was even more challenging than Tang San's trial in the original story.
The Sea Horse Douluo: "."
The way you said it makes it seem like there's some kind of inexplicable connection between us.
"Since that's the case, I think you should be more cautious. After all, you just climbed the one thousand and first step before the Sea God's Temple. You also killed the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King on the sea. Now you're rushing to challenge us. Are you sure everything is alright?"
He asked solemnly.
"No problem, even if I only have one-tenth of my soul power now, it's more than enough."
Qin Xiao replied earnestly.
This mud horse.
One-tenth of his soul power and he doesn't take the seven Holy Pillar Guardians seriously?
The Sea Horse Douluo opened his mouth, completely unsure of what to say.
Truly, Qin Xiao's words were too damaging to their self-esteem.
No.
He was sure that Qin Xiao simply didn't treat them as equals, not at all.
"Well, then I'll accept your challenge. I also want to see the might of the young Title Douluo."
The Sea Horse Douluo gritted his teeth and agreed to Qin Xiao's challenge.
Don't steam the buns just to show off.
Let's do it.
It wasn't long before the battle began.
However, the battle quickly came to an end.
With the Sea Horse Douluo's cultivation, just one Titan Sky Cannon from Qin Xiao would have been more than enough to deal with him.
"I lost."
The Sea Horse Douluo's face was filled with a lost expression.
However, when he recalled the Titan Sky Cannon that had narrowly missed him, the feeling of unwillingness in his heart dissipated.
Just a little bit more, if it weren't for Qin Xiao deliberately missing, he would be lying down now, not standing.
"I concede."
Qin Xiao clasped his fist towards the Sea Horse Douluo and then proceeded towards the next pillar.
"No, I have to go and see for myself."
"I can't bear it alone."
The Sea Horse Douluo watched Qin Xiao's direction as he left, gritting his teeth and following.
Ten minutes later, the Sea Illusion Douluo was defeated.
Twenty minutes later, the Sea Ghost Douluo was defeated.
Thirty minutes later, the Sea Star Douluo was defeated.
Forty minutes later, the Sea Woman Douluo was defeated.
Fifty minutes later, the Sea Spear Douluo was defeated.
"I never thought that all six of us Holy Pillar Guardians would be defeated within an hour."
"Qin Xiao is too fierce, it's embarrassing that I couldn't even withstand a single move from him. I really don't know how he cultivated."
"I'm the same."
"That's like saying I managed to resist two moves."
"Ah, traveling and fighting, only taking ten minutes. I wonder if the boss can hold on a bit longer against Qin Xiao."
"At least hold on for ten or eight moves, to save face for us."
The Sea Horse, Sea Illusion, Sea Ghost, Sea Star, Sea Woman, and Sea Spear Douluo watched as Qin Xiao approached the Sea Dragon Pillar.
Their hearts were pounding.
If the Sea Dragon Douluo was defeated in an instant, then they, the six Holy Pillar Guardians, would truly lose face.
Soon, the battle began.
They could all see the Sea Dragon Douluo transform into a sea dragon nearly ten meters long, roaring ferociously as he charged towards Qin Xiao.
At the same time, without boasting, his soul rings lit up one after another, like flashes of light.
Powerful soul skills covered Qin Xiao like a blanket.
"The boss really knows how to seize the initiative."
"No need to say more, his awareness is much stronger than ours."
"It's stable, the boss should be able to withstand ten moves without a problem."
In the distance, several Holy Pillar Guardians exchanged words.
They felt like they had a chance to turn things around.
Of course.
If the Sea Dragon Douluo, who was currently fighting with all his might against Qin Xiao, heard their words, he would definitely feel frustrated and want to vomit blood. Did he really have no chance of defeating Qin Xiao?
Did his cultivation at the ninety-fifth level really go to waste?
However, in the next moment, the Sea Dragon Douluo's pupils suddenly contracted. He saw a figure appear out of thin air on his massive dragon head.
It was none other than Qin Xiao.
Immediately after, Qin Xiao raised his left hand and slammed a heavy punch onto his forehead.
Undoubtedly, this punch was extraordinary, unleashing the Titan Sky Cannon.
Boom!
The Sea Dragon Douluo felt a dizzying sensation, his vision went black, and his mind went blank.
"Whoa."
In the distance, those who witnessed everything couldn't help but inhale sharply.
Qin Xiao's punch to the Sea Dragon Douluo's head also struck a chord in their hearts.
They had all faced such attacks and deeply understood Qin Xiao's terror.
Moreover, they even had the worry in their hearts that Qin Xiao might actually kill the boss with one punch!
Boom!
At this moment, the sea dragon incarnated by the Sea Dragon Douluo heavily fell to the ground in front of the pillar, kicking up billowing dust.
"That's not right, why isn't the boss moving?"
"Hurry!"
"Go see!"
The Sea Horse Douluo shouted loudly, rushing up with several others beside him.
Qin Xiao stood still, quietly watching everyone approach.
"Boss, are you okay?"
"Qin Xiao, this is just a sparring match, you didn't need to go all out like this."
"What are you standing there for? Sea Spear, go find the Grand Sacrifice and ask him to come here and save the boss. If we're any later, the boss will be gone."
With the arrival of several Holy Pillar Guardians, chaos ensued in the field.
"No need to trouble yourselves, I'm already here."
"Stay calm, everyone."
With a cold voice, Bo Saixi's figure seemed to teleport into the field.
"Grand Sacrifice!"
"Hurry and save the Sea Dragon."
Everyone hastily made way.
Bo Saixi replaced words with actions, gently waving the scepter in her hand, and a blue light fell on the Sea Dragon Douluo.
The sea dragon incarnated by the Sea Dragon Douluo dissipated, and the true body of the Sea Dragon Douluo reappeared before everyone.
"Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?"
Suddenly, the Sea Dragon Douluo spoke nonsense, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.
"Sea Dragon, are you still not awake?"
Bo Saixi frowned slightly.
However, her voice had an extremely strong penetrating power, resonating in the Sea Dragon Douluo's mind like a bell tolling.
He instantly regained his senses.
Memories flooded back into his mind like a tide.
He looked slightly dazed.
"I remember now, I am the Sea Dragon Douluo, and I am fighting against Qin Xiao."
"I lost."
Muttering to himself, the Sea Dragon Douluo looked at Qin Xiao with a complicated expression and said, "You won."
"And, thank you."
