Chapter 51: The Death God's Envoy Under the Sea God's Command!
Without another word, Elder Xuan activated his martial soul and annihilated the remaining bandits in an instant.
Then, he transformed into a streak of light, soaring away at full speed.
To further increase his velocity, he activated a flight type soul tool, despite already possessing natural flight capabilities as a Titled Douluo.
His rage burned like a wildfire, leaving him with only one thought
To tear that so called Death God's Envoy into pieces!
"Elder Xuan… I'm Still Stuck Under This Rock!"
Wang Yan, watching Elder Xuan vanish into the distance, felt a mix of shock and frustration.
"Elder Xuan! I'm still trapped here!"
Pain shot through his legs, confirming his worst fears
They were completely broken.
It seemed like he'd be stuck in a wheelchair for a while.
Luckily, as the team's teacher, he wasn't a competitor.
His injuries wouldn't directly impact the upcoming tournament.
But the problem was…
With the devastating losses among the team members,
How was Shrek Academy supposed to win?
Was he, the incompetent teacher, going to be the one responsible for shattering Shrek's millennia long glory?
A heavy sigh escaped his lips as he turned to Bei Bei.
"Bei Bei… You and the others who are still capable of moving, take the survivors somewhere safe."
"Also, gather the bodies of the fallen."
"Elder Xuan… can't be relied upon right now."
Under normal circumstances, he would never say such disrespectful words.
But so many promising students had died today his heart was torn apart with grief.
He no longer cared about rank or hierarchy.
Shrek Academy had suffered one of its greatest losses.
Bei Bei nodded firmly.
Then, he turned to Xu Sanshi and the others.
"Anyone still able to move, help out! We need to make sure no more of us die!"
The remaining team members quickly sprang into action.
They dug out the unconscious Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng,
Carried Ling Luochen to safety,
And painstakingly gathered the remains of Yao Haoxuan and the others.
Zhu Lu's Hatred
In contrast, Zhu Lu stood motionless, her eyes burning with pure hatred.
Dai Huabin's death had devastated her.
And whose fault was it?
The evil soul masters were obviously responsible…
But in her mind, Elder Xuan was equally to blame.
How could a Rank 98 Super Douluo, someone who had promised to protect them,
Allow a mere Soul King to make a fool out of him?!
If someone told her that a Titled Douluo failed to rescue students from a Soul King, she wouldn't have believed it.
The power gap between a Rank 98 Douluo and a Rank 50 Soul King was astronomical.
Her fists clenched tightly.
"He did it on purpose…"
"There's no way a Super Douluo couldn't save a single student from a Soul King!"
"He let Huabin die!"
"I'll make him pay!"
Wang Dong's Struggle
Meanwhile, Wang Dong's face was pale.
She was trying to figure out a way to escape from the Death God's Envoy.
She was only a Soul Elder.
The power gap was far too great.
And worse
She had completely exhausted her soul power fighting the bandits earlier.
At this point, she couldn't even activate a single soul skill.
Was she going to die here today?
The thought filled her with unwillingness.
The Death God's Envoy
The Death God's Envoy dragged Wang Dong out of the cave, arriving at a secluded clearing.
In the clearing, twelve eerie figures stood motionless
His undead minions.
Looking at them, he grinned.
"Ten years… Just give me ten more years…"
"Even Titled Douluo will have to kneel before me!"
Then, his gaze shifted to Wang Dong.
"As for you… It's time for you to become my newest undead servant!"
A thick black mist billowed from his body,
Surging toward Wang Dong!
Divine Intervention
Just as the mist was about to engulf her, Wang Dong's eyes suddenly shut.
And then
A towering blue gold figure emerged behind her,
Radiating divine might.
The black mist instantly vanished, as if it had been utterly erased from existence.
A man holding a golden trident stood there,
His face filled with anger and majesty.
Tang San had arrived.
The Death God's Envoy's Fear
"W Who… Who are you?! This is impossible!"
"I I can't move!"
A wave of sheer terror swept over the Death God's Envoy.
This aura…
It wasn't just Titled Douluo level
It felt even stronger!
The Sea God Speaks
Tang San sighed.
"I am simply a father… who loves his daughter."
His expression remained stern, his voice booming with divine authority.
"You dared to threaten my daughter not once, but twice…"
"I see now… You are beyond redemption."
A Desperate Plea
"Wait WAIT!"
"I am the Death God's Envoy! The chosen representative of Death itself!"
"You can't kill me!"
The Death God's Envoy's voice quivered.
He had too many ambitions left unfinished.
If he died here… all his dreams would vanish!
Tang San hesitated slightly, a thoughtful expression crossing his face.
The Death God's Envoy?
That gave him an idea.
What if… instead of a Death God's Envoy…
He created a Sea God's Envoy?
A New Plan
Tang San's mind raced.
He had been desperately searching for a successor to manipulate someone to serve as his agent on the mortal plane.
But so far, his efforts had been fruitless.
However
If he chose a representative to act on his behalf…
He could influence the world without breaking divine laws.
And if anyone questioned him, he'd simply say
"This person is the next inheritor of the Asura God's throne."
Asura God's path was one of slaughter.
Evil soul masters also pursued slaughter.
With enough justification, it wouldn't seem too suspicious.
Of course
This Death God's Envoy would never truly receive the Asura God's inheritance.
And once he had served his purpose,
Tang San would eliminate him.
For now, though
He could put this pawn to use.
The Deal
Tang San gazed down at the Death God's Envoy.
"If I let you go… You will continue slaughtering innocent people."
"That is something I will not allow."
"But…"
"Power itself is neither good nor evil."
"It is the wielder that determines its morality."
"If you serve under my guidance, I may be able to correct your evil ways."
"From today onward "
"You are forbidden from harming the innocent."
"You may only hunt evil soul beasts to strengthen yourself."
The Death God's Envoy: "???"
(Author's note: The Death God's Envoy is just a temporary pawn. Eventually, he'll become an experience pack for the protagonist.)
