The Legend of the Dragon King

It was a woman as well. She appeared to be less than twenty years old. She wore a veil that concealed her face and was clothed in white. Her well-proportioned hourglass figure could be seen indistinctly under the white veil. A fair-skinned hand stretched out and a finger was extended to touch the back of Ye Xinglan’s head.

The starlight appeared once again precisely behind her head.

“Ding!” There was a crisp ringing sound as the finger was pushed away by the impact. Ye Xinglan turned illusionary, and an emaciated palm grabbed at her cheek and missed.

The momentary engagement lasted for a very short period of time, but two attacks had already been launched by each opponent. The woman in white silently returned to Li Mengjie’s back and fused into her before vanishing completely.

It was the Witch. It was Li Mengjie’s Witch martial soul.

Li Mengjie’s figure flashed. There was no way to tell which soul skill she had unleashed as her body moved so swiftly, leaving behind a series of remnant shadows. An emaciated hand reached for Ye Xinglan once again.

Ye Xinglan’s Stargod Sword had already appeared in her hand by this point. She was not in a rush or panicked by the situation. She swung the sword in her hand and conjured sparkles of starlight that immediately interlaced into a large net in the sky. It was her second soul skill, the Sword God’s Net.

When seen from below, it was just like fireworks in full bloom. It was not emitting a very powerful aura, but even Qiangu Dongfeng could not help revealing his astonishment upon seeing the sword.

It was a sword aura with a concealed and concentrated essence! It appeared to be powerless, yet in reality, the sword aura was concealed inside and it would only trigger an outburst when it came into contact with the target.

The Witch Douluo Li Mengjie giggled loudly. She stretched out her finger repeatedly while casting a series of shadow hands to touch the knots between the Star God’s Net one at a time. The Star God’s Net burst and ruptured completely into pieces. However, the sword aura had also burst forth and produced a series of low hums which echoed through the sky.

Li Mengjie’s maneuver was halted for a moment as a result. A speckle of starlight had arrived in front of one of Li Mengjie’s illusions brazenly.

“Zoom!” There was a quiet sound as the illusion vanished, leaving behind only one Li Mengjie in the sky. The tip of the Stargod Sword was clamped between her index finger and middle finger.

“Good girl. Impressive, impressive.”

Another pure white silhouette appeared once again. Her body began spinning and produced a powerful aura which surged around her. The unexpected suction force pulled at Ye Xinglan’s body, making her slide sideways.

It was the Witch’s Devil Dance!

Ye Xinglan retracted the Stargod Sword in her hand, and her entire body seemed to have fused with the light of the sword. She surged skyward and struggled free from the constraints. In the next moment, a speckle of dazzling starlight descended from the sky akin to the morning star.

She had used her third soul skill, the Starfall Sword, to effectively break free and counterattack.

The Devil Dance remained unchanged. The vortex expanded abruptly for a moment before it suddenly closed as if it was attempting to devour and destroy the starlight.

However, thousands of meteors rained down looking like a planetary bombardment. The vortex was tainted with dazzling starlight in a split second.

It was her fourth soul skill, the Sword Meteor Shower.

The witch leaped up while the vortex disappeared. The meteor shower seemed to have turned into her accessory. For some reason, Li Mengjie was standing side by side with the Witch. One of them was exquisite while the other was hideous. They were holding each other’s hands. While their silhouettes spun around, Li Mengjie suddenly vanished.

There was a dagger in the witch’s hand. Time seemed to slow down when the dagger was swung about, and a lovely voice echoed through the sky.

“I…have…missed…you…”

As these four soothing words reverberated in the sky, even the people watching the battle from below felt their bodies go numb all over.

The sweet look of the witch’s eyes and her sweet smile appeared alluring especially when her face was partially concealed by the veil.

Those four words that came from her mouth sounded so enticing that any man would find it hard to stop himself from being lost in his wild fantasies of her.

The Witch’s dagger had arrived before Ye Xinglan’s body as she was speaking those words. As the dagger passed, it left behind waves of ripples in the sky.

Ye Xinglan’s gaze changed ever so slightly upon seeing the ripples, and her body fell back at lightning speed. The four words spoken by the witch had not managed to affect her in the slightest.

No outside influence could interfere with a soul master whose only love was for her sword! Ye Xinglan’s willpower was absolutely the strongest and most outstanding of the Shrek Seven Monsters. None of the other Monsters could even compare to her.

Even though Yuanen Yehui was a woman of few words in the past, that was also due to her family issues. Now that the knots in her heart had loosened, she was smiling more frequently than ever.

On the other hand, Ye Xinglan had completely focused, both physically and mentally, on her cultivation. She had barely indulged in distracting thoughts since she was always engaged in painstaking cultivation. She was only emotionally attached to the people around her, such as Xu Lizhi and her companions.

The unfamiliar voice could not possibly affect her at all, no matter how gentle and alluring it was.

The distorted light around the dagger was something else. The light had only covered a very small area, but Ye Xinglan could clearly feel that the aura was similar to Tang Wulin’s Millennium Cloud technique. The dagger contained the power of space-time.

She made a judgement in that split second and concluded that the Witch Douluo’s space-time power was not only capable of reducing the opponent’s lifespan, but it could also devour the opponent’s time-related abilities. It was because of this that it had such a small area of effect.

A cold glint flashed through Ye Xinglan’s eyes. In the sky, her body had suddenly stopped moving. Sparks of dazzling starlight suddenly burst forth from her body and made her appear as if she had turned translucent.

Her seventh soul ring glowed brightly. Instantly, the soft humming sound that was heard in the beginning of this battle echoed through the sky once again. This time, a scene took shape in every person’s mind. It felt as if a magnificent divine sword was about to be drawn from its sheath.

It was her seventh soul skill and martial soul avatar, the Stargod Sword Body!

“Ding!” She launched Stargod Sword again. It struck the tip of the dagger with incredible accuracy. There was a piercing humming noise as the dagger was pushed away.

As the distorted light shattered, Li Mengjie appeared next to the witch once again.

She had a rather foul expression on her face. “Bad little girl!”

Her talon-like right hand stretched out and grabbed the shoulder of the Witch by her side. In the next moment, the Witch suddenly transformed into a stream of white light and condensed in her palm.

It had become a long, slim staff. On the tip of the staff, there was a figure that looked just like the Witch. Li Mengjie swung the staff in Ye Xinglan’s direction, releasing a puff of glowing white mist.

It was a mist made up of thousands of long, fine needles, and it immediately covered every possible direction that Ye Xinglan could use to evade the attack.

Ye Xinglan did not bother to dodge in any case. In her Stargod Sword Body state, she was the sword and the sword was she.

In the sky shimmering with dazzling starlight, a spark of light suddenly illuminated to correspond to Ye Xinglan. She thrust her Stargod Sword forward to split the glowing mist right down the middle.

There was a flash piercing radiance that vanished soon after.

The Witch Douluo’s silhouette flickered as she had no choice but to take evasive action.

She swept her staff horizontally, and a howl echoed through the sky. All the light around them suddenly vanished and turned into pitch-black darkness.

It was the Witch’s Pitch Darkness!

Ye Xinglan remained calm and composed as before. A speckle of starlight illuminated above her head once again as she was confronted by the Witch’s domain-like ability. The starlight absorbed the matter in its surroundings and Ye Xinglan quickly vanished.

It was her fifth soul skill, the Star Sword!

In the sky, an incomparably piercing aura began to emerge and spread out at a shocking speed. It felt as if the sky was being torn apart while the light of countless stars appeared. The dazzling starlight illuminated the sky with unparalleled brightness, shimmering as it dispersed the pitch black darkness.

“Huh?!” The Witch Douluo Li Mengjie was astonished. The darkness converged into one point and revealed Li Mengjie’s form once again.

When she had engaged in hand-to-hand combat earlier, she could tell that Ye Xinglan was a girl that had only broken through to Title Douluo-rank recently.

Even though it was absolutely shocking for her to learn that the girl had made a breakthrough to Limit Douluo at such a young age, she was still far weaker than herself judging by her combat experience and inner secrets.

Yet, the more she fought against the girl, the more uneasy she felt.

Their battle did not look as intense as the earlier rounds, but that was not really the case. Fighting at close quarters like this was very risky because it was highly possible that the soul master would lose immediately upon being hit by the opponent.

In reality, Li Mengjie had already seen the truth behind Xu Lizhi’s victory in the previous match. Xu Lizhi’s four-word battle armor would not have lasted too long. Had it not been for the Boxing King Douluo’s arrogance, leading him to underestimate the opponent and attack carelessly, Xu Lizhi would have eventually revealed his weaknesses. The result would have been different Da Mo had fought more carefully.
