CHAPTER 112: THREE SPIRIT SAGES
"…Cut down to the last man everyone behind the Blood Soul Team!"
The moment Zhou Chen spoke, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.
Only Dugu Yan and Yu Tianmeng's eyes shone with unusual brilliance.
Compassionate in heart, yet sharp as a sword—slaughtering all for Ye Lingling alone! How could such a man not capture a woman's heart?
Pah! Pah! Pah!
Yu Tianmeng shook her head and quickly came to her senses.
'This girl is a lesbian, so why do I feel like this guy is about to turn me straight?'
Meanwhile, Spirit Emperors Qin Ming and Lin Yang exchanged glances, and in each other's eyes, they saw trembling and horror.
There were indeed people behind the Blood Soul Team.
More than one great noble house and Soul Master family had been relying on the Blood Soul Team's repeated victories to obtain massive gambling profits.
If there had been no backing, a brutal team like Blood Soul, which had killed seven people in just twelve matches, would have long been driven out or even annihilated by the Great Spirit Arena.
After all, a high casualty rate for Soul Master teams would severely affect the Great Spirit Arena's profits.
However, precisely because someone was supporting them, the Blood Soul Team ran rampant without restraint, extremely arrogant, walking further and further down the path of self-destruction, until today they collided with an iron plate and were completely annihilated.
Qin Ming and Lin Yang could completely imagine what kind of bloody storm would be stirred up in the Great Spirit Arena and in Tiandou City after Zhou Chen spoke those four words: "annihilate to the last man"!
It might even shake the entire Tiandou Empire!
"Alright, Yanzi, Tianmeng, Qin Ming, you all take your people and leave. Otherwise, I'll be holding back when the fighting starts."
Zhou Chen still wore that gentle expression, and no one could tell that he already intended to make the Great Spirit Arena flow with rivers of blood.
"Be careful then," Dugu Yan warned him.
"Zhou Chen, don't capsize in a gutter."
Yu Tianmeng's tone was harsh, but the concern within it was unmistakable to anyone.
"Let's go."
With a wave of his hand, Yu Tianmeng carried the unconscious Ye Lingling and immediately turned to leave.
Dugu Yan, Yu Feng, Aosuo, and the Shi brothers quickly followed.
Only Qin Ming hesitated for a moment, still looking at Zhou Chen, unable to resist advising him: "The great nobles behind the Blood Soul Team all have tremendous power. It's better to resolve conflicts than to create enemies. I think..."
"Senior Qin Ming, you just need to protect Lingling and the others. You don't need to worry about other matters."
Zhou Chen smiled slightly, a very cold smile. "Today I want to see just how big their influence really is! Whether they can withstand the crushing force of my Ziwei Palace!"
Seeing that Zhou Chen's killing intent had been set, Qin Ming didn't dare to persuade him further. He returned the Pope's Token to Zhou Chen and then chased after Yu Tianmeng and the others.
Around Zhou Chen, only Lin Yang, the Purple Dragon Spirit Emperor from the Great Spirit Arena, remained.
At this moment, Lin Yang was lost in thought, his expression constantly changing.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, cupped his fists toward Zhou Chen, and said: "This young Master Zhou, it seems your three ladies are quite short on guards. Why don't I lead the Spirit Masters from the Great Spirit Arena to protect them for a while and escort them safely back to the Ye Residence."
Hearing this, Zhou Chen looked at this Lin Yang in surprise.
Was this guy trying to defect to him? So enthusiastic?
Could it be that I'm the legendary Long Ao Tian type protagonist whose mere presence makes villains kneel in submission?
What Zhou Chen didn't know was that ever since he revealed the Pope's Token, Lin Yang had already intended to show goodwill.
As a Spirit Master from a commoner background, even with his powerful mutated Purple Dragon Martial Soul and his strength as a Spirit Emperor, Lin Yang still couldn't truly become someone of high status. He had always been controlled by great noble houses and great sects, even to the point of becoming a guard at the Great Spirit Arena.
But from Zhou Chen, he saw a bright future.
Someone who could produce a Pope's Token, dared to threaten to wash the great nobles of Tiandou Empire in blood, and had connections with the Undying Nine-Hearted Begonia family—Zhou Chen was definitely a golden thigh so thick it couldn't be any thicker!
Seeing Lin Yang's extremely obvious gesture of goodwill, Zhou Chen didn't want to damage his self-esteem, so he nodded and said: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Lin Yang."
"It is my honor to serve you, Young Master Zhou."
Lin Yang bowed excitedly all the way to the ground, then looked up and whispered: "According to what I know, some of the people behind the Blood Soul Team are currently in VIP boxes 7, 15, and 38. Young Master, you should act quickly before they escape."
"Thank you."
Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes, and with a flash of light in his hand, a purple Big Dipper Token appeared.
"This is the token of my Ziwei Palace. If Mr. Lin Yang ever feels unsatisfied working at the Great Spirit Arena, you are welcome to come to Ziwei Palace."
Taking the token, Lin Yang was overjoyed—this was exactly what he wanted from Zhou Chen!
He excitedly cupped his fists and said: "I will first escort the three ladies back to the Begonia Ye Residence, then return to support you, Young Master."
After speaking, Lin Yang waved his hand and summoned over 10 Spirit Kings from the Great Spirit Arena to follow him as he chased after the members of the Huangdou Team.
Watching as Lin Yang and Qin Ming escorted Ye Lingling and the others away, Zhou Chen had no more reservations and immediately prepared to kill according to the VIP box numbers Lin had provided.
However.
Just at that moment, with a crisp clattering sound, the crystal screens of seven or eight VIP boxes above the Great Spirit Arena were shattered one after another!
Then, the tens of thousands of spectators in the central main Spirit Arena all clearly saw dozens of figures leap from these VIP boxes, or simply hover in the air using their flight-type Martial Souls!
And all these figures were Spirit Masters!
Because they all had their Martial Souls and Soul Rings activated!
In an instant, exclamations rose and fell, many people shockingly gasped.
Everyone was shocked not because these dozens of people were Spirit Masters.
As spectators in Tiandou City, they had all seen big scenes and wouldn't be startled by such a small commotion.
What truly shocked everyone was that among these dozens of Spirit Masters, the lowest were Spirit Kings with five Soul Rings, there were eight Six-Ring Spirit Emperors, and even three Seven-Ring Spirit Sages!
Three Spirit Sage powerhouses!
Since Spirit Sages of level 70 and above are bestowed the title "Sage," it is because their strength has transcended the mortal realm!
A battle-oriented Spirit Sage, while unable to overturn rivers and seas, can resist a thousand soldiers and rampage without hindrance!
According to Spirit Hall, there are fewer than four hundred living Spirit Sages registered on the entire Douluo Continent.
Even including reclusive hermits and hidden reserves from various factions, the number might at most double, absolutely not exceeding eight hundred.
Eight hundred Spirit Sages sounds like many, but compared to the tens of millions of people and thousands of cities on the Douluo Continent, it's as insignificant as a drop in the ocean—pitifully few!
Normally, the spectators at the Great Spirit Arena mostly saw Soul Master battles at the Spirit Grandmaster and Spirit Elder levels.
Seeing battles between Spirit Kings of level 50 or above was already an extraordinary event.
Just like today, when it was heard that two Spirit King teams would be fighting, tens of thousands of people came flocking to the Tiandou Great Spirit Arena.
But now, they were seeing a full three Spirit Sages!
Spirit Sages far beyond the level of Spirit Kings!
Now, no one was complaining about the earlier suspension of the Soul Master match. On the contrary, they were all excited.
The spectators first watched a massacre, with the seven Blood Soul Team Spirit Masters dying miserably, which sent their adrenaline soaring;
Then, they saw Spirit Sages, a rare sight for ordinary people, appear. For most people, encountering three Spirit Sages today would be enough for them to brag about for a lifetime!
Most importantly, the reason these three Spirit Sages, eight Spirit Emperors, and dozens of Spirit Kings appeared was clearly to cause trouble!
It seemed... they were here to cause trouble for that youth in purple who had just bisected the Blood Soul Team leader Shi Hun with a single sword, a youth as handsome as jade!
In other words, the audience was in for more exciting shows to come!
