The Legend of the Dragon King

When that happened, she transmitted a voice message to Qiangu Dongfeng expressing her wish to take part in the next round.

She would never repeat the Boxing King Douluo’s mistake, of course. As a result, she was constantly launching attacks as she fought against Ye Xinglan, but she was also paying attention and observing Ye Xinglan’s responding technique.

Li Mengjie was surprised to learn that she was incapable of detecting any weakness to exploit in this young maiden. Not only Ye Xinglan was rich in actual combat experience, she was also skilled in utilizing her advantage. From the beginning of the battle, her sword’s consciousness remained condensed and stored. Even when she was engaging in a counterattack, she never unleashed her full attacking ability. Li Mengjie felt like there was no opportunity for her to take advantage of the young maiden at all.

Her skill that transformed her into the dagger was known as the Witch’s Red Dust Dagger. There was a possibility that the opponent’s life energy would be absorbed by her upon coming into contact with the dagger even for a split second. She would devour a very small portion of the life energy absorbed.

An ordinary person’s life energy was utterly meaningless for her. She was only interested in the life energy of Title Douluo-ranked powerhouses. Moreover, the opponent’s life force must be youthful and filled with vitality in order to replenish her needs.

In any case, Ye Xinglan chose to dodge without the slightest hesitation.

On the other hand, when Ye Xinglan began to launch counterattack, Li Mengjie could sense that the piercing aura unleashed from her Stargod Sword was definitely at Swordsoul rank. Additionally, she could tell that Ye Xinglan’s rank did not belong to the preliminary Swordsoul rank.

‘Are all the students cultivated from Shrek so powerful?’

Li Mengjie squinted her eyes. She had never expected this situation would take place and that the opponent would be more difficult to finish off than she had imagined.

Even so, she had taken the lead to unleash her martial soul avatar. How long would she be able to last in her martial soul avatar state?

Why did many high-ranking powerhouses choose to sound out the opponent at the start of the battle? It was because many powerful techniques would consume too much energy upon utilization.

For example, martial soul avatars and battle armor domains were very demanding. Generally, the person that utilized these abilities would be at a disadvantage unless the opponent was defeated in one move, just like how Xu Lizhi defeated the opponent and achieved victory in the previous battle.

There was no doubt that Ye Xinglan was about to unleash a huge move at this point. The most crucial factor was that the Witch Douluo Li Mengjie could clearly feel that the move was going to be a grave threat to her! Had it not been for her martial soul avatar or battle armor, she predicted that it was highly possible that she would fail to withstand the attack.

At her rank, she would never hesitate during such a crucial juncture. Otherwise, she would have died long ago. The Witch appeared once again, but she was pulled back into Li Mengjie immediately this time.

The old and fragile figure swiftly fused with the seductive silhouette. Then, a ghastly image appeared.

The silhouette remained as tempting as ever, but the face belonged to Li Mengjie. An old woman’s visage was suddenly paired with an alluring figure. It appeared exceedingly odd and inharmonious.

Her expression looked like she was struggling somewhat. Her aged facial features began to twist and change as if she was straining to turn herself young and beautiful. In the end, only half of her face transformed successfully.

When seen from one side, it was an exquisitely beautiful face with bright eyes and a sweet smile. However, when seen from the front, her face actually had contrasting halves. Half of it was Li Mengjie while the other half had the Witch’s facial features.

It was her Witch’s avatar, the Devil Transformation!

After she had completed her transformation, Li Mengjie’s held her staff in her right hand and the dagger in her left.

Then, a stream of dazzling starlight shone down from the sky. It was as if the light was carrying millions of galaxies as it illuminated the entire place instantaneously.

It was Ye Xinglan’s sixth soul skill, the Swordstar Soul!

Speckles of misty radiance began to glow on the Witch Douluo Li Mengjie’s body, as if she was sensing something. Pieces of battle armor covered her body rapidly as she completed the process of suiting up.

Her battle armor was very special. The left side of her armor was black while the right was white. Those colors contrasted with one another just like her face.

She had unleashed her three-word battle armor in order to resist Ye Xinglan’s attack.

The sky suddenly darkened as if night had fallen. Speckles of stars bloomed with radiance in the sky. All at once, the wide sky had turned into a sea of stars.

It was her three-word battle armor domain, the Starry Sky!

This was Ye Xinglan’s domain. She had imitated Xu Xiaoyan’s domain intentionally when she was making the battle armor.

The stars in her attack doubled in power under the amplification of the Starry Sky domain.

The Witch Douluo Li Mengjie’s expression turned solemn. She used the dagger in her left hand to draw a circle in front of her. It had transformed into a circular door of light pulsating with a distorted glow. When the stars dashed a short distance away from her, a portion of them flowed behind her as though they were not targeting her.

It was Li Mengjie’s eighth soul skill, the Surging Red Dust!

She raised the staff in her right hand high and conjured a white vortex. The enormous vortex began spinning at high speed along with her body. It rotated and pushed away the speckles of starlight.

It was her other eighth soul skill, the Devil Force Field!

Yes, her Witch martial soul was similar to twin martial souls in a sense.

As a result, she was blessed with so many useful soul skills.

However, her type of twin martial souls was quite different from most. Hers belonged to the category of twin souls produced from the same body where her two martial souls were either very similar or the exact opposite of one another. For example, Xie Xie’s martial soul was also the same before it had evolved into the Time-space dragon.

An amazing sight appeared at that moment.

An illusionary sky was suddenly projected below the Witch Douluo’s feet, exactly the same as the sky above her. What was even more extraordinary was that speckles of starlight had also appeared in the projected sky with a stream of galaxies.

The ground had been right below her feet, but it was as if she had been immersed in the cosmos in the next moment. She was completely enshrouded by the starry sky in all directions. In a split second, the stream of stars and galaxies transformed into a huge starry vortex and covered Li Mengjie completely.

Li Mengjie had a drastic change of countenance at last. She had never expected that Ye Xinglan would have such a formidable outburst. This power was unimaginable.

Piercing light burst forth from Li Mengjie’s body, and a layer of pink radiance spread out from beneath her feet. Starlight would fade and vanish soundlessly upon coming into contact with the misty radiance.

Li Mengjie’s eighth soul skill was already fully underway when the opponent’s attack had arrived, so it was too late for her to change her soul skill even if she wanted to. As a result, she could only initiate her three-word battle armor domain, Devil Death!

The domain would produce a terrifying effect. It was equipped with a highly damaging corrosive effect. Even though its range was rather limited, it would immediately melt away the opponent completely until there was nothing left, like bone-gnawing maggots on a corpse.

The only issue with this domain was that its coverage was relatively small. However, its advantage was that it could be used for both attack and defense.

The domain was helping her to resist a major portion of the blasts of starlight, but the amount of starlight was overwhelming. Every piercing spark was condensed from the purest Stargod Sword’s aura.

Li Mengjie was capable of neutralizing the attack, yet she was incapable of resisting the sharp sword’s consciousness contained in the sword’s aura. She found that she had begun to feel that her spirit was assaulted.

The eyes of the audience members watching the battle from below were so bedazzled by the brilliant starlight that they could not see what was happening clearly.

Such a grand scene was quite different from the earlier battles. The outburst of the Stargod Sword’s attack in this instant was quite terrifying. It was not inferior to Yuanen Yehui’s earlier performance.

Ye Xinglan, whose cultivation base had broken through to nine-ringed, was already so grown-up.

“Boom, boom, boom!” Three layers of glowing mist exploded in succession beside the Witch Douluo Li Mengjie. The starlight had burst into pieces and much of the sword’s consciousness that breached Li Mengjie earlier was removed. However, more starlight continued surging toward her in the next moment as if it had no end.

Li Mengjie felt as if she was drowning in mud. She was enduring the terrifying assault at every moment without stopping. ‘I thought that she had just reached Title Douluo-rank recently? How can she possibly sustain an attack of this extent for such a long time?’

The most crucial part was that the streams of sword tips were razor-sharp, to the extent that Li Mengjie dared not use her battle armor to withstand the attack.
