Chapter 65 First Encounter with Xue Qinghe_1
In front of Xu Sheng, the phantom of an enormous Nine-Hearted Begonia bud appeared once more, the buds twisting and blossoming abruptly…
A strong crimson light shone directly into Gu Rong's pupils…
His eyes gradually whitened, and the seventh soul skill, Bone Dragon True Body, was instantly interrupted. Forced to revert to his normal size, his body shrank back…
Gu Rong's body instinctively tried to move, but found it completely impossible.
Over such a long period, his limbs had gradually succumbed to deep paralysis from the Nine-Hearted Begonia's toxins, compounded by the effects of the sixth soul skill.
Let alone moving, he couldn't even muster the ability to think now!
"Ninth soul skill, Blood Mulberry Final Domain!" Xu Sheng's icy face showed no intention of sparing Gu Rong, as the profound ninth soul ring beneath his feet flared fiercely…
A voice that spawned a sense of affinity abruptly rang out, "Xu Sheng, I implore you to spare Uncle Bone! He didn't mean to be your enemy; he just wanted to test your strength!"
Speaking, of course, was Ning Fengzhi, who hurried alongside Xue Qinghe, promptly intervening.
Without having activated his Martial Soul True Body, Gu Rong didn't know what Xu Sheng's ninth soul skill was, but he was certain it was not easily withstood!
Therefore, he dared not gamble!
Should they lose a Title Douluo level powerhouse of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, the entire sect might become destabilized…
There was a flicker of sharp light in the eyes of Xue Qinghe beside Ning Fengzhi.
"This guy of the same age as me… has already reached the Title Douluo! And that Blood Litchi Flower with a scent of blood, is this the reason for its resonance with his Martial Soul??"
Moreover, under Bone Douluo's complacency, the fact that Xu Sheng could instantly gain perfect control and be poised to kill him…
Xu Sheng turned around, his icy gaze briefly sweeping over Ning Fengzhi, and the ninth soul ring at his feet gradually dimmed… .
Then with a wave of his hand, the tendrils of the Nine-Hearted Begonia retracted…
Gu Rong, who was paralyzed in the air without any support, fell straight down to the ground, kicking up dust in all directions…
"Bone Douluo has been defeated! Just what level of strength does this young man possess!"
Bystanders around were all dumbstruck…
After all, this Bone Douluo was a level 90 Hyper Douluo, not some weak fodder like them!
That was a name of certain authority on the entire Continent!
And today, a youth not even twenty years of age had spectacularly beaten him in the sky!
"Heavens, mom, what did I just witness? A peer of mine nearly executed that veteran powerhouse from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, Bone Douluo…"
"Let's go, let's go; there might be an even bigger fight about to happen!"
Ning Fengzhi, with a grave expression, turned to Xue Qinghe and instructed, "Qing He, have the soldiers clean up the scene, and this matter must absolutely not be leaked!"
If word of Xu Sheng's terrifying talent reached the ears of the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, they would certainly not miss the chance to recruit him.
And if he were to refuse their offer, Xu Sheng's future prospects would be worrying!
Certainly, Ning Fengzhi had his own ulterior motives; although according to Chen Xin, Xu Sheng had no romantic feelings for Ning Rongrong.
Yet, if the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect could bind themselves to Xu Sheng, his future achievements could certainly elevate their status, possibly making them first among the upper three families!
Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Xue Qinghe responded, "Yes, Master."
Then with a steely gaze, he calmly commanded the soldiers behind him, "Everyone, clean up the scene and enforce a gag order. Whatever happened today—if anyone leaks it…"
The soldiers who received the order began dispersing the civilians around Tiandou City, centering on Xu Sheng and the others…
"Everyone not involved, leave immediately, or face execution without mercy!"
"Anyone present, swallow this matter. Should any information be leaked, you will be tried as a criminal!"
"Get out of here! What are you looking at?"
Soon, under the soldiers' intimidation and dispersal, all the civilians left the area anxiously...
"Teacher, everyone has been dispersed."
Xue Qinghe's gaze turned to Gu Rong, who was collapsed on the ground, and he thought, "Bone Douluo looks like this, probably due to the dual effect of poison and paralysis..."
Ning Fengzhi nodded and stood up again. "It's troublesome, Qing He"
He had briefly looked at Gu Rong's injury, which was not substantive, but the excessive paralytic toxins made it difficult for him to even move...
Next, Ning Fengzhi stretched out his hand, and his Martial Soul, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda with its seven-colored glow, slowly formed in the palm of his hand...
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black – seven Soul Rings appeared at his feet...
"Seven Treasures Glaze, Boost Sixth Day!"
The gentle glow from the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda enveloped Gu Rong...
The latter's consciousness gradually cleared, and the toxins that had flowed into his limbs from his blood began to dissipate constantly...
After a while, the almost recovered Gu Rong slowly stood up from the ground, looking at Xu Sheng standing beside him with a cold demeanor, feeling a slight fear in his heart.
Gu Rong recalled the scene that had just happened, and his heart pounded incessantly...
Luckily, he silently thought, "If it wasn't for Feng Zhi stopping him, I would have almost been taken away by this youngster!"
It was indeed his underestimation this time, but the terror of Xu Sheng's soul skills was also beyond his imagination...
Ning Fengzhi asked with concern, "Uncle Bone, are you alright?"
In his heart, he smiled wryly. This time, Uncle Bone had indeed been bested by a junior, and he couldn't help but wonder what Uncle Sword would say if he knew, surely another round of merciless mockery.
Gu Rong shook his head, then earnestly looked at Xu Sheng, "I'm fine. It's just the old adage, 'The waves behind drive on those before.' Xu Sheng, I, Gu Rong, concede defeat in this competition!"
Upon hearing this, the cold eyes of Xu Sheng casually glanced at him, offering no verbal response...
Seeing Xu Sheng ignoring him, an embarrassed Gu Rong coughed...
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Xue Qinghe, then introduced to Xu Sheng, "Oh yes, Xu Sheng, let me introduce you, this is the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, Xue Qinghe! He is also my disciple!"
Xu Sheng's gaze sized up Xue Qinghe, who stood in front of him, dressed in a royal robe, his demeanor showing a refined and approachable elegance, vaguely carrying a few traits of Ning Fengzhi...
The latter, in turn, was carefully examining Xu Sheng with his eyes...
Xu Sheng took a deep breath inwardly and said calmly, "Xu Sheng, at your service, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xue Qinghe didn't seem to have a woman's appearance at all, even the Adam's apple and the overall physique appeared no different from that of a normal man, surely the work of that soul bone.
No wonder Qian Renxue could take Xue Qinghe's place and remain unscathed within the royal household of the Tiandou Empire for so many years; such composure was admirable indeed.
Xue Qinghe's lips curled up slightly in a friendly gesture, offering his hand, "No need for formalities, Xu Sheng. Just call me Qing He!"
Xu Sheng frowned slightly but still reached out to give a light handshake...
The tender smoothness that came from Qian Renxue's palm during the brief touch caused ripples of emotion in Xu Sheng's heart...
Because Qian Renxue's skull had disguised her appearance, but if one were to actually touch her, the substance had not changed!
