Chapter 44 Li Bai's Soul Ring.
"Clang!"
A clear, resonant sword cry seemed to come from beyond the heavens, echoing throughout the entire Spirit City!
A massive, illusory Azure Lotus Divine Sword, entirely formed from pure sword intent, appeared out of thin air directly above the Spirit Hall's main hall.
The sword was a hundred meters long, radiating azure light, with countless tiny sword energies swirling and dancing like lotus petals.
It exuded an endless, terrifying sword intent, seemingly capable of cleaving the heavens and annihilating all laws!
This giant Azure Lotus Sword hovered there silently, making no direct attack.
"Boom boom boom!"
But the overwhelming pressure of the sword energy enveloped the entire core area of the Spirit Hall as if it were a tangible force.
The guards on the city walls struggled to even stand under this pressure, and Soul Masters below the Soul Saint level felt difficulty breathing and their soul power stagnated!
"Enemy attack!!!"
A shrill alarm instantly resounded throughout Spirit City!
Almost simultaneously, from the Pope's Hall, the Hall of Offerings, the Hall of Douluo…
one after another, incredibly powerful auras erupted!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several figures shot into the sky like lightning!
The leader, with golden hair and eyes, an ancient face, exuded an aura as hot and holy as the sun.
It was none other than the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu!
Beside him, Pope Bibi Dong held a scepter, her purple eyes filled with murderous intent, her killing aura almost tangible!
Behind her, Spirit Hall elders such as Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Demon Subduing Douluo, as well as several hidden Title Douluos, all appeared!
All eyes were fixed on the Azure Lotus Giant Sword floating in the air, radiating endless sharpness, and below the giant sword, the three small figures that attracted all attention.
Especially the swordsman in green robes carrying a wine gourd, who seemed nonchalant!
Qian Daoliu's cloudy golden eyes flashed with an unprecedented light.
He stared intently at Li Bai, his voice booming like a great bell, echoing throughout the heavens and earth:
"Who dares to offend my Spirit Hall?!"
The entire Spirit City, with its millions of inhabitants, held their breath, gazing up at the two opposing forces in the sky.
Everyone understood.
A clash between top-tier experts, one that would be etched in history, was about to erupt.
Ye Lingling and Ye Zhong stood behind Li Bai, feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the opposing forces, as if from gods and demons, their hearts pounding in their chests.
Ye Lingling's palms were drenched in cold sweat with tension.
She hadn't expected that her teacher Li Bai's so-called "method" would be so direct and domineering!
However, facing the Spirit Hall's all-out attack of top-tier forces, Li Bai simply took another lazy swig of wine, then swept his drunken eyes over Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and the others, letting out a burp.
He casually said, "I am Li Bai from Beidou Academy."
"I've come to Wuhun City for nothing major, just to ask you for a few people."
His tone was as indifferent as haggling over vegetables on the street.
Qian Daoliu's gaze, as intense as the sun, first swept over Li Bai.
Finally, it landed on Bibi Dong, whose face was pale, his brows furrowing slightly.
His voice carried a barely perceptible question: "Bibi Dong, what's going on?"
Although he had long resided in the Hall of Offerings and was detached from worldly affairs, he knew that Bibi Dong had recently been recruiting the Nine-Hearted Begonia Soul Master who had lifted the curse.
Now, seeing the other party's posture, and the uniquely aloof young woman standing behind the green-robed swordsman, how could he not understand?
It must be Bibi Dong's methods that had provoked someone she shouldn't have, attracting this evil star!
Bibi Dong sensed the meaning in Qian Daoliu's gaze, her beautiful face as if covered with frost.
She stared intently at Ye Lingling, her heart filled with shock and anger.
She never expected that Ye Lingling would actually side with Beidou Academy.
Moreover, Beidou Academy acted so arrogantly and domineeringly, daring to attack the Spirit Hall headquarters for the sake of a single student!
"Grand Elder," Bibi Dong's voice was icy, carrying a hint of suppressed anger, "This person has trespassed into the Spirit Hall, challenging its authority. She must not be let off lightly!"
Although she was wary of Li Bai's strength, as the Pope, how could the Spirit Hall maintain its dignity if it yielded in front of everyone?
Moreover, she also intended to use this opportunity to test the strength of the Beidou Academy.
This swordsman in green robes could unleash such sword intent; his strength was absolutely terrifying.
But to what extent, she needed to assess it personally!
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu's deep golden eyes flashed, but he didn't immediately express his opinion.
He also wanted to use Bibi Dong to probe the background of this mysterious expert.
The prestige of the Spirit Hall was important, but an unknown and powerful enemy required even greater caution.
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Li Bai chuckled and took another gulp of wine. He casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
His nonchalant demeanor was completely out of place with the tense atmosphere before him.
"Not releasing him?"
He glanced at Bibi Dong with hazy, drunken eyes, his tone tinged with mockery.
"Then you can try and see if you can stop me."
The moment his words fell, a terrifying sword intent, far purer and sharper than the previous Azure Lotus Giant Sword, seemingly capable of severing all shackles and rules of the world, erupted from Li Bai's body like a volcano dormant for millennia!
"Buzz!"
The soul power in the world instantly became violent, and the invisible sword intent caused even space to subtly distort.
At the same time, rings of soul rings that sent shivers down one's spine slowly rose from beneath his feet.
Red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red.
Nine!
A full nine soul rings, all of them dazzling, radiating a fierce aura, were 100,000-year soul rings!
The blood-red light reflected on everyone's faces, clearly revealing the shock and horror of the Spirit Hall's experts!
"Nine...nine 100,000-year soul rings?!"
Ghost Douluo Ghostly Exclaimed in shock, his voice trembling.
As a Title Douluo, he knew all too well how difficult it was to acquire a 100,000-year spirit ring, requiring immense opportunity and strength.
This person before him actually possessed nine?
This utterly shattered his understanding!
Yue Guan's face turned deathly pale. He had previously thought the opponent's only strength lay in his astonishing sword intent.
Now, seeing these nine 100,000-year spirit rings, he truly understood the vast chasm between their strengths!
Bibi Dong's pupils constricted sharply, her knuckles turning white from gripping the Pope's scepter with excessive force.
She herself possessed twin martial souls and was the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, yet her second martial soul wasn't even fully equipped with spirit rings, let alone all 100,000-year ones.
This Li Bai's strength had definitely reached level 98.
Even… the level 99 Limit Douluo level.
And certainly not an ordinary Limit Douluo!
Qian Daoliu's usually calm face finally revealed unprecedented solemnity and shock!
As a level 99 Limit Douluo, the Grand Elder of the Angel God, he considered himself the strongest on the continent.
Even he couldn't possibly possess nine 100,000-year soul rings.
This swordsman who calls himself Li Bai possesses unfathomable strength and depth.
When did such a monster emerge hidden on the continent?
What exactly is the Beidou Academy?
