Of course not. The tens of thousands of souls which we managed to reap earlier are barely enough to replenish what was depleted from the Death God Pagoda previously. Why should we stop Du Busi? Long Xiaoyao is a smart man. He knows when to give up and leave. Ye Xishui gave the plainest reply possible. It was impossible to see any emotions in her eyes.
I understand. Zhong Liwu did not dare to add anything else. Even though he was the actual Supre Leader of the Holy Ghost Church, everyone knew who called the shots.
As she watched the battle which was going on in midair, Ye Xishui remained extrely calm. A faint blood-red color occasionally flickered in her eyes. A large group of powerful cultivators from the Holy Ghost Church stood behind them. They had all gathered here and waited silently for instructions not long after Du Busi had erged.
Ye Xishui definitely knew what her son was worried about. Her son feared that Long Xiaoyao might be angered by what had just unfolded. She also knew that Long Xiaoyao was calling for her. If she joined in the battle and helped Long Xiaoyao subdue Du Busi, he might just be unable to detonate his soul core.
However, why must I stop him? The deaths of millions of civilians would only be beneficial for the Holy Ghost Church. As a person who was only concerned about her interests, she would definitely not stop Du Busi.
Long Xiaoyao Long Xiaoyao!
As the battle grew in intensity, the flas on Du Busis body seed to beco material. Long Xiaoyao could no longer do anything about his mad attacks. All he could do was to try and stop Du Busi from descending.
Long Xiaoyao, do you really think you can stop ? Stop shouting for her. Since I have dared to co today, I have already thought of everything. She wont be coming to help you. Du Busi let out a burst of eerie laughter.
Long Xiaoyao was taken aback by his words. He had a strange realization that Du Busi might not be as mad as he seed.
Du Busi, why must you do this? Do you really think you can kill Xu Tianran like this? He has so many Class 9 soul engineers defending him. Even if your self-destruction is super strong, it wont be enough to kill him. The shield above the Sun Moon Sacrificial Altar alone is enough to shave off half of the impact from your self-destruction. Slaughtering millions of lives will only do the Holy Ghost Church good. You are just helping them beco stronger. Its not too late to stop. I can still help you to douse your burning fire of life and help you leave. How does that sound?
Long Xiaoyao was very clear with his words, but Du Busi continued to laugh. In fact, he seed very happy about sothing.
Suddenly, Du Busis voice beca very soft. His words could only reverberate within Long Xiaoyaos ears. My old pal, of course, I know what youre talking about. We have both lived for over two hundred years. Why would I not be able to consider that things that youve said? Our thinking is just very different. I can see that you are still a person with a heart. If not, you would never have turned up here. The truth is my action is but a small part of the entire operation. Do you really think I want to die? Of course not. But I have already sustained certain injuries which I cannot recover from back when I fended off the invaders from the Sun Moon Empire previously. I am already too old.
Just like Mu En who was just living out his life after sustaining a serious injury, I can feel my own abilities deteriorating every day. Lets not talk about becoming an Ultimate Douluo. Im not even confident of remaining a Transcendent Douluo in a few years ti. I have at most ten more years to live.
Ten years is a long enough ti for a normal human. But for people like us, it is nothing. Thats why I would rather not have these ten years. The most heroic death for a soul master is to die before the eyes of the public. In fact, I have already won. Do you know that?
Even though Long Xiao was staring at Du Busi and listening to his words, both of them were still entangled in battle. However, there was no hatred or anger in his eyes. What remained was nothing but sorrow and lancholy. Is another person from my tis really about to die?
It was almost as if Du Busi had finally found soone to converse with him as he continued. My appearance today is part of a carefully crafted plan. Theres no chance of dying in vain. In my eyes, since I am about to die, the rules no longer an anything. Do you really think the millions of lives below us can be so easily taken away? You have spent a fair bit of ti in the Sun Moon Empire. Do you really not know what trump cards theyre hiding under their sleeves? They will definitely try their best to protect their people. If not, the millions of deaths would shake the foundation of Xu Tianrans rule. But whatever trump cards they deploy will most definitely take a lot out of them. In the future, when they have to face the other nations, they will definitely be a lot weaker.
This is my first objective. As long as Xu Tianran isnt ntally retarded, he will definitely help achieve it. My second objective is naturally you. I knew Ye Xishui would definitely not co after starting this commotion. However, I was sure you would. I was purposely shouting around in that manner previously to attract soone elses attention. Do you really think I still dont know you well enough? You must have a reason for staying around her. I dont want to know the exact reason. All I know is that now that you are on the opposing side, you wont feel too good after I die. I dont think you can deny that, right?
My third objective pertains to Ye Xishui. She must be lurking around sowhere with her disciples and grand-disciples, waiting to pounce in and reap the fruits of our hard work. The sheer number of souls from the dead people would be too enticing for them to turn down. I have considered how they would not be able to resist this temptation before deciding to do what I am doing now. I have now successfully drawn Ye Xishui and her underlings here. The greed of evil soul masters will be their downfall.
Once I am done with my three objectives, I can allow my old body to die. I am not the only one here this ti around. Once my objectives have been achieved, the remaining ones will naturally be accomplished by the others. I have already attracted enough firepower, right? Hahahahaha!
After hearing Du Busis words, Long Xiaoyao beca very quiet. Du Busi has really drafted a very well-crafted plan this ti round. He has managed to predict how we would all act. Xu Tianran. Ye Xishui. And . All of us.
It was because he had already known how they would all act based on how events would unfold that he was willing to give up his life to gather everyone here.
But then what is his true objective?
Long Xiaoyao, I have always been very easy-going and carefree all my life. Failing to defeat Mu En is one of the biggest regrets in my life. However, I have managed to live longer than him. In the future, if you want to describe as a despicable person, I will gladly accept it as praise from you. Ti is almost up. I want you to help see how big an explosion I can create with my abilities. Oh yes, I actually have a fourth objective. I want to assassinate Xu Tianran. No matter whether I succeed or not, I want to try. If not, how can I rest in peace, right?
After finishing his sentence, Du Busi suddenly burst into a fit of mad laughter. Following which, his body suddenly froze in mid-air.
It was as if the entire sky had frozen, and all the energy pulses stopped at this very instant. Even Long Xiaoyao was no exception.
Just as Long Xiaoyaos eyes widened in shock, a dense layer of black started to vanish in the next instant. A mysterious ring of silver-white light started to appear around him.
That ring of white light rubbed and collided against the static space around it vigorously.
Du Busi revealed a sly smile as he took a last look at Long Xiaoyao. Following which, his thousand ter-tall body shrank rapidly towards the center of his stomach.
At that very instant, it was as if a black hole had ford in the middle of the sky. Copious amounts of natural qi of heaven and earth gravitated towards the center of the black hole.
Because of how suddenly Du Busis body had shrunk, everyone present, including the millions of civilians of the Sun Moon Empire, felt as if they were being sucked by sothing in the air. The tens of thousands of people that were closer to the Sun Moon Sacrificial Altar were even lifted into the air by the force of attraction. Their feet left the ground as they floated a couple of ters into the air.
Just when so of these people started to regain their composure, chaos broke loose again as screams and shouts could be heard everywhere as they tried to struggle against the force of attraction.
Du Busi had vanished, and what had replaced him was a huge piece of crystal, entirely jade-green, and radiating a jade-green glow onto its pitch black surroundings. It seed as though it could swallow all the darkness around it. Even the silver glow from Long Xiaoyaos body was being consud by it.
Long Xiaoyao revealed a bitter smile. You are truly remarkable! He could sense this soul core had been enhanced to the level that belonged to an Ultimate Douluo. The only difference was how an Ultimate Douluo had two soul cores, and Du Busi only had one.
Du Busi had burned all of his power and energy, including his soul. At this very instant, everything turned silent. But it was rely the calm before the impending storm.
Is it coming now? Everyone stopped breathing as they looked up into the sky. They could sense that a catastrophe was about to hit them.
However, at this very instant, the air in the direction of Radiant City suddenly beca illuminated. Four gentle white beams of light shot up into the sky without any warning.
These four pillars of light were initially not particularly noticeable. They were only as thick as water pails, but they imdiately began to expand at an unbelievable rate.
Very soon, these four beams had a diater of over a hundred ters as they pierced deep into the sky, their powerful light unimpeded by the grey clouds.
The energy bound within the jade-green soul core seed to be agitated by the white light, as it started to emit a low humming sound. The space around the soul core started to show signs of cracking.
