Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

Just as the defenders of Soto City were fighting desperately, the Bear King finally couldn't hold back anymore. He looked up to the sky and let out a deafening roar. The strong golden light on his body suddenly shrank and all gathered towards his claws.

The originally dark golden claws turned into bright golden color at this moment. On the sharp blade, waves of light flowed. The golden light finally stagnated on the tip of the blade, as if to tear the sky and the earth apart.

"Go to hell!" The bear king roared, raised his claws high, and slashed down towards the city wall fiercely as if he was creating the world. A terrifying scene followed - ten thousand-meter-long golden blades suddenly burst out from his dark golden claws, and ten huge holes were torn in the sky, and golden light poured down like a waterfall.

With a loud bang, the wall of Soto City collapsed under the devastating blow of the Bear King, with rubble flying and dust filling the sky. A huge gap was torn open in the wall, and outside Soto City was an endless plain. Without the barrier of the wall, the soul beasts that crossed the defense line poured into the city like a tide, and the defenders were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

"The city is broken!"

The civilians in the city fell into endless despair, their cries and the roars of soul beasts intertwined into one, and the shadow of doomsday enveloped the city.

Du Bu Si shouted angrily: "Retreat back to the city!" The poison in his body erupted, wiping out all the soul beasts in the front. He retreated into the city with the remaining soul masters and retreated inland.

The city of Soto was already in chaos. Civilians who had not yet had time to evacuate were running away crying, and the streets were crowded with people pushing and shoving each other.

The soul masters from various forces came to support Long Xiaoyao because he rescued their elites from the Sun and Moon Empire. Some of them were driven by a sense of responsibility, but more of them were to preserve their own interests. They understood the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold".

However, the protection does not include civilians, so even if Du Bu Si wanted to rescue them, he is powerless. Fighting the ferocious beasts alone is exhausting enough, and he also has to guard against the fearless siege of the hundred thousand year old soul beasts.

Other soul masters were only concerned with protecting themselves and did not care about the lives of civilians at all. Just like when the beast tide came a hundred years ago, the towns and villages around the main city were trampled into ruins by the soul beast army, and the powerless civilians became food for the soul beasts.

Five years later, the second temporary fortress that humans used to defend against the beast tide completely fell.

Sun and Moon Empire, the center of Mingdu.

The atmosphere in Mingdu has continued to heat up in the past few days. The Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is about to enter the semi-finals, and the Mingdu Soul Instructor Elite Competition organized by the three major underground forces that can participate in the gambling is also about to hold a three-way final.

While the original Douluo Three Kingdoms were desperately resisting the beast tide from the Xingdou Great Forest, almost all the teahouses and taverns in Mingdu were discussing the situation of these competitions. It was obvious that the beast tide would not affect the Sun Moon Empire, and the Continental Youth High-level Soul Master Elite Competition was more attractive.

But the underground competition that allows people to participate in the betting also makes many people unable to stop. Through this underground gambling competition, the three major forces can be said to have made a lot of money. I don’t know how much benefit they got from the tens of millions of passengers who flowed into Mingdu.

Qiangu Jingyin, who took over Long Xiaoyao's job, was very busy, busy leading people to raid the homes of, of course, the homes of Aodu Chamber of Commerce and Pingfan League. Longge was about to take over the empire, so there was no need for the so-called underground forces to share a piece of the pie.

Except for the Xishui League, also known as the Holy Spirit Church, whose headquarters was bombed, the other two underground forces were completely wiped out on the eve of the finals. Kong Deming's secret help was indispensable, and even the ninth-level soul guide of the Sun Moon Empire royal family invited by the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and the Ordinary League participated in the operation to liquidate the underground forces.

The person in charge of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a handsome appearance, a gleam in his eyes, and a faint sense of authority from a superior. If you just look at him, it is hard to imagine that he is the leader of an underground force that controls thieves and killers. Instead, he looks like an official.

"President An is not even a Titled Douluo, so how can he be in charge of the underground forces in the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire? However, it is not difficult to understand that he has the support of the Sun-Moon Empire's military." Qiangu Jingyin could tell at a glance that this man was still a long way from being a Titled Douluo.

"Since you know my background, but I don't know where you come from, are you from the imperial family?" An Litong stared at Qiangu Jingyin with a fake smile, not afraid at all. Even though his subordinates had been almost cleared out, he still believed that he could make a comeback with the military power of the Sun Moon Empire.

"President An is right. If you are here as a representative of the imperial family, why not show your true strength in the finals?" Compared to the person in power of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, the person in charge of the Ordinary Alliance is even more eye-catching.

The woman named Shangguan Weier was wearing a long red dress, with long chestnut hair tied up high in a bun. She had an enchanting figure, but her face was full of holiness. She was not panicked at all even though she was imprisoned, as if this was not the first time she had encountered such a thing.

"A young talent like you...Ah!!!" Shangguan Weier moved closer to Qiangu Jingyin, her breath as sweet as orchid, but before she could finish her words, she was so cold that she couldn't help screaming because of a hand on her shoulder.

Qiangu Jingyin did not flinch or evade, but grasped her bare shoulders and slowly applied force, "Young talent? I have heard this kind of flattery many years ago. I think I should be older than you, right?"

To crack down on pornography... no, to crack down on gangsters and evil, one must do a good job of intelligence work. Qiangu Jingyin naturally knew that many strong men had fallen at the feet of this woman. Although she looked so charming and attractive, in fact, as early as forty years ago, she was already the head of the Ordinary League. No one knew her real age. Her cultivation was even higher than that of An Litong, the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. Behind the Ordinary League was the great aristocracy of Mingdu.

The leader of Xishui League is Nangong Wan, who openly represents the imperial family. It is for this reason that Xishui League can become bigger than the other two. But the other two also represent extremely powerful classes, and even the imperial family cannot completely swallow them up. Although Pingfan League and Aodu Chamber of Commerce vaguely know that there is the shadow of evil soul masters behind Xishui League, they are not afraid of the strength of Xishui League because the interest groups they represent are very large.

Under this premise, this underground competition was held. On the surface, the Mingdu Soul Mentor Elite Competition jointly launched by the three major underground forces was to make money and earn gambling money from a large number of tourists, but in fact, this was also an important moment for the three major underground forces to reshuffle. Xishui League wanted to further control the underground forces, while Aodu Chamber of Commerce and Pingfan League had the momentum to join forces to fight against them.

That's why An Litong and Shangguan Weiler had a preconceived notion that Qiangu Jingyin was a powerful person sent by Xishui League to attack them.

It's broken! I, the dignified head of the Qiangu family, have become an evil soul master?! Qiangu Jingyin's expression was indescribable.

For the three major underground forces, the ultimate goal of this underground competition is to control the right to smuggle rare metals.

In the Sun-Moon Empire, the trading of rare metals is strictly prohibited at the national level. Because of this, their prices remain high, which is undoubtedly the result of artificial manipulation by the empire's top leaders.

In this context, the smuggling of rare metals has become a way to make money with astonishing profits. This wealth cannot be earned in an honest way, and the amount of smuggling must be strictly controlled, but it is a must-win for all forces.

The royal family, the military, the nobility, who wouldn’t want to get a piece of the pie?

They did so in the past, but as time went on, after the crown prince Xu Tianran came to power, he soon discovered this long-standing dirty business. The royal family, the military, and the nobility competed in smuggling, resulting in the loss of rare metals far beyond the tolerance of the empire. In anger, Xu Tianran decided to change the status quo.

It was obviously unrealistic to completely ban smuggling. The more high-pressure suppression, the more intense the backlash would be. Moreover, he had not yet officially ascended the throne and did not dare to completely anger the military and the nobles. After careful consideration, the Crown Prince promoted the reorganization of the underground power structure.

The winner of this competition will have exclusive control over the smuggling of rare metals, but the prerequisite is that the winner must hand over his original territory for redistribution by the other two parties. This method tries to maintain the balance among all parties. Compared with other industries, the huge profits from smuggling rare metals are too tempting. The three parties are all going all out and not giving up an inch, which is why the grand prize of the competition is so grand.

Of course, all this was done quietly and in secret.

For Xu Tianran, this is not only an opportunity to regain control of the underground forces, but also a key step to ensure that the control of rare metals falls into his own hands. How to achieve this step? Naturally, with the help of Xishui League, or more precisely, through the power of the Holy Spirit Church.

"Unfortunately, I am not from Xishui League. Rather, the evil soul master's true form has been completely exposed by my colleagues." Qiangu Jingyin calmly watched An Litong and Shangguan Wei'er's faces turn pale in an instant, and continued, "But I am indeed here to deal with you on behalf of the imperial family. After all, the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, and the empire does not need troublesome insects. However, I can give you a chance to prove yourselves."

The two men's expressions eased a little. This meant there was something to talk about. As long as they handed over the hidden industries under their names and kept their lives, they would not be afraid of not having the opportunity to make a comeback.

The Aodu Chamber of Commerce has always been rich and powerful. If you lose money, you can earn it again, but if you lose your conscience, you can earn more. Anyway, An Litong believes that he has no conscience. Sooner or later, the life-saving money he handed over will return to him in other forms, so he handed over nearly 1 billion private property without hesitation.

"Very good, President An is a hero! Maybe I will recommend you to the higher-ups. After all, you must be a talent to be able to manage such a large industry as the Aodu Chamber of Commerce!" Qiangu Jingyin nodded with satisfaction. Although most of the property had to be handed over and confiscated, as the person in charge of the team that seized the property, he would get a share, and the minimum guaranteed amount was 100 million.

At this moment, Shangguan Weier chuckled and threw a coquettish glance at Qiangu Jingyin, "President An is so generous, I naturally can't be left behind, right? Your Excellency, although our Pingfan League is not as wealthy as the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, and we can't afford hundreds of millions of gold soul coins, but our Pingfan League has dragon girls with ancient blood. I would like to offer three dragon girls to serve you. They have been carefully trained by our Pingfan League and are guaranteed to be more docile and obedient than any women you have ever seen."

Hearing the word "Dragon Girl", Qiangu Jingyin raised his eyebrows slightly. He certainly knew what a Dragon Girl was. "What a coincidence, we have one too." However, it might not be the kind that Shangguan Weier thought of.

"That's great! Since you know the use of the Dragon Girl, then..." Shangguan Wei'er's meaning was self-evident.

Dragon girls are a rare half-human, half-beast creature that looks like a beautiful woman with scales all over her body, except for her face which is the same as that of a human. They will shed their scales during the estrus period, and humans can absorb the essence of dragon blood by combining with them, improve their physique, integrate the dragon blood aura, and promote the positive evolution of their martial spirits. However, dragon girls are rare and only exist in deep mountains and swamps. They are cursed with doom, and the first person to capture them is almost certain to die. Therefore, very few people can find dragon girls and attack them.

An Litong looked at Qiangu Jingyin with some uneasiness. The money he offered to buy his life was an astronomical figure. But even if he offered nearly 1 billion gold soul coins, he might not be able to buy the Dragon Girl, which was a priceless treasure.

But since the other party has promised to let him live, he shouldn't go back on his word, right?

"This is going to be difficult, Alliance Leader Shangguan."

Shangguan Wei'er, who was originally confident of victory, suddenly changed her expression. Could it be that anyone thinks money is more important than the Dragon Girl?

It is true for Qiangu Jingyin. A commission of 100 million gold soul coins is really important to a clan leader who really needs to support his family! And the extra money can be invested in the construction of Dragon City. You know, even the lowest Dragon Pavilion members in the North will involuntarily straighten their chests when they think of the wealth and industry of Dragon City.

This job should be done by him! Long Xiaoyao doesn't have to support his family, and even his only offspring died in the internal strife of Shrek Academy. Why would he need to spend money?

Shangguan Weier hurriedly asked: "Is there something you are not satisfied with? The power of the dragon girl's bloodline can not only remove the impurities remaining in the body, but also allow the martial soul to evolve..."

"It's not this question, Alliance Leader Shangguan. The main thing is, my superior, she... how should I put it?" Qiangu Jingyin chose his words carefully. "To tell you the truth, in a sense, my boss is also a dragon girl. Aren't you harming me?"

How could it not count? The Pavilion Master also has a curse of bad luck! It is even stronger than the bad luck that ordinary dragon girls have! Other dragon girls can only affect the first person who captures them, but if someone dares to take advantage of the Pavilion Master, that person's entire family will not even have a dog left!

"How is this possible?!" Shangguan Wei'er was horrified. "The Dragon Girl's fighting ability is not strong, otherwise she wouldn't be..."

"Don't make such a fuss. Every race has its strong and weak. She is just an extremely unique outlier. Aren't you also in charge of such a large force as the Ordinary League as a woman?" Qiangu Jingyin's eyes gradually became cold. "Why don't you just pay the money?"
