Unfortunately, Qian Renxue is a hopeless romantic, and following someone like that won't end well.
The teams heading to Wuhun City for the competition arrived at a valley.
"Um?!"
As soon as Lin Chuan sat down in front of the carriage at Tianshui Academy, he sensed a chilling aura coming from afar, originating from the cliffs on both sides of the path.
"Xiao Chuan, what's going on?"
The carriage curtain was suddenly lifted, and Dugu Yan was the first to lean out.
Lin Chuan didn't explain much, but his expression was serious. "Yanzi, quickly call everyone out. There might be a battle later, so don't stray too far from me."
"Understood, Xiaochuan!"
Dugu Yan nodded, wasting no time, and beckoned the group of girls to come outside the carriage.
"Something's wrong! Everyone on alert!" The captain of the royal guard team also noticed that something was amiss and shouted, immediately raising his hand to stop the team.
The royal guards positioned at various points in the formation immediately raised their shields.
The teachers from various colleges also stepped out of their carriages to observe the surroundings.
Just then, countless rocks tumbled down like raindrops, but because the falling rocks were so neatly arranged, they looked unusually abrupt.
The situation suddenly became extremely critical.
After all, a place like this, with cliffs on both sides and only one way in and out, would be a dangerous place in any world, making it quite convenient for ambushes.
"Royal Guards, defend!"
At the command of the Royal Guard captain, all members reacted immediately.
Since not all of them were Soul Masters, they quickly split into two groups. The Soul Masters were responsible for breaking the falling rocks, while the ordinary royal guards raised their shields to block the falling rocks and also to be wary of subsequent attacks.
In a short time, a defensive line was formed, temporarily blocking all the stones.
Truly worthy of being the elite of the Heaven Dou Empire!
"What a quick response!"
Looking at the hundreds of well-trained soldiers before them, the Soul Masters from various academies were also taken aback, deeply shocked by the scene before them.
"Xiao Chuan, are you alright?"
Several figures arrived one after another beside Lin Chuan and the others.
Lin Chuan gently shook his head, "We're fine, let's leave here first!"
Almost without being reminded, the members of the fifteen Soul Master academies abandoned their vehicles and rushed towards the exit of the rift valley, led by their respective teachers.
"Dean, these people are far too audacious! They actually dared to attack the Royal Guard!"
Shuiyue couldn't help but speak loudly.
Shui Lanxin silently observed the situation around her, her heart heavy.
Those who dare to openly attack a convoy bearing the flag of the Heavenly Dou Empire are clearly not ordinary bandits. Judging from their actions, they are obviously organized, or even premeditated.
There are very few people on the entire continent who have the courage and ability to do this.
"They're coming, get ready for battle!" Lin Chuan's deep voice suddenly rang out.
Within their perception range, thousands of auras had already surrounded them, including several exceptionally powerful auras that were rapidly swooping down.
"Leng Man, protect the children!"
Shui Lanxin looked solemn, and a sense of pressure arose in her heart.
Finally, just as they were about to leave the rift valley, the two sides clashed in close combat.
In terms of numbers, the participating academies of the Heaven Dou Empire were slightly inferior. Even though they had a considerable number of Soul Masters, they were blocked immediately upon the first collision.
Lin Chuan wasn't serious. He casually picked up a long spear and easily pierced through the black-clad man coming towards him, but his attention remained focused on the others.
The high-level Soul Masters from each academy were entangled by the high-level black-clad bandits, and the situation reached a stalemate for a time.
Just then, five figures suddenly appeared and attacked Lin Chuan from different directions.
"Are they coming for me?"
Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding.
"Come on!" Five men in black arrived almost simultaneously, each with a bright soul ring appearing behind them, illuminating the entire battlefield with three colors in an instant.
Three Soul Douluos and two Soul Saints—they really went all out!
"Don't think about it!"
A sharp, delicate voice rang out, and Shui Lanxin immediately stood in front of Lin Chuan, her eyes revealing a fierce aura. Heavy soul power fluctuations surged from her body, and her eight soul rings flashed one after another.
Leng Man remained silent, emanating an icy aura.
"We can't let you hurt young friend Lin!"
Gu Yi appeared on the other side at some point, holding a long yellow stick, exuding a powerful aura.
The three of them intercepted the five men in black. Even though they were outnumbered, they still managed to overpower the opponents by virtue of their superior soul power level.
This caused Lin Chuan, who was about to make a move, to stop abruptly.
"Alright, it seems I don't need to do it myself. But since you've taken the initiative, be prepared!"
Lin Chuan's lazy demeanor gradually faded, and his eyes flashed with red light. With a flick of his wrist, the Sunset Bow appeared in his hand.
A piercing explosion rang out, and countless arrows, spewing scorching heat, flew forward.
boom--
The arrows landed and exploded in the crowd.
The violent explosion, accompanied by flames, engulfed everyone in the vicinity. Even those who were not consumed by the flames were destroyed by the shockwave alone.
In an instant, a deafening sound echoed through the rift valley.
Many people didn't even have time to scream before they were instantly reduced to ashes.
In just one round of attacks, hundreds of people fell.
Gazing at the hellish scene not far away, Lin Chuan remained calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as if he had killed not humans, but insignificant insects.
Lin Chuan doesn't enjoy killing, but he shows no mercy to enemies!
"Stay here, all of you!"
The bowstring was drawn again, the arrow flew out, and a series of thunderous sounds resounded.
Such terrifying power, if allowed to fall into the crowd, would likely cause even greater damage, and the temporary balance would be broken.
"This little guy is really ruthless; we can't let you get involved again!"
A soft, feminine voice drifted from afar, and as the last word fell, a figure appeared in everyone's sight.
The person was still masked, dressed in white, and their age was impossible to discern.
As soon as the man in white appeared, nine spirit rings emerged behind him. A surge of energy caused the air to distort violently for a moment. He raised his hand and struck the lightning arrow with a palm.
With a loud bang, another explosion rang out, and all the arrows were intercepted.
As a strong wind blew by, the man in white emerged from the smoke, his clothes stained with some black ash, and he stared blankly at his hands.
"Good lad, this is incredibly powerful! Is this a soul skill you created yourself?"
Lin Chuan did not respond, but calmly looked at the white-clad man who had suddenly appeared.
This feeling... like a Title Douluo!
So, am I receiving the same treatment as Tang San?
A peculiar aura emanated from the man in white, and a faint fragrance filled the air. Lin Chuan felt a slight tension in his body, but he quickly broke free.
"Huh? You actually managed to break free from my aura barrier. You've got quite a few secrets, little guy."
The man in white focused his gaze on Lin Chuan, his eyes showing surprise, but also becoming increasingly interested in him.
"Don't want to talk about it? That's okay. You'll tell me when we get there. Little one, just come with me quietly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in white rushed in front of Lin Chuan and reached out to grab him.
"Get out of here, old man!"
Just as Lin Chuan was about to make a move, a cold snort suddenly rang in his ears. The white-robed man's expression changed drastically, and he quickly spun in the air. A faint yellow light transformed into a sheet, enveloping him within it.
A beam of green light suddenly struck the yellow halo, sending the man in white flying.
"You dare to attack me right in front of me, Chrysanthemum Guan? You've got some nerve! Aren't you afraid I'll rip your chrysanthemum open?" Dugu Bo arrived through the air, flashing to Lin Chuan's side in a few moments.
The two had locked onto each other with their auras, but neither chose to attack immediately.
As both are titled Douluo, the shockwaves caused by their battle are quite terrifying. If they really fight here, everyone else in the rift valley will be affected.
"Old poisoner, when did you become someone else's lackey?"
The man in white, or perhaps Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, suddenly turned much colder with his originally gentle voice.
"Your strength... really has increased!"
"Hmph, I'm not like you, willing to be someone else's lackey!" Dugu Bo sneered disdainfully, his gaze full of scrutiny. "So the Title Douluo we encountered in Heaven Dou City last time was also one of your Spirit Hall's people. Your Spirit Hall's ambitions are truly quite large!"
