Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 119

Chapter 119: The Snake Madam Appears, Tang San Defeated

Oscar held a dagger, ready to finish off the captured Phoenix-tailed Chicken Crown Snake.

“Wait!”

At that moment, an old woman’s voice rang out. Nan Feihuang knew that the inevitable had arrived. It wasn’t his concern, though; he could just watch the show.

Two figures then burst from the forest, an old woman and a young girl.

The older woman appeared to be sixty or seventy years old, her white hair neatly combed. Despite her age, she radiated vitality, clearly possessing considerable cultivation. She held a three-meter-long snake-headed cane. As she walked towards the group, her soul rings rotated around her: two yellow, three purple, and one black – a sixty-something-level Soul Emperor. The soul rings pulsed, but her body didn’t change, indicating her martial soul was the cane.

Beside her was a young girl, about sixteen years old, in a purple outfit. She was exceptionally beautiful, only slightly less so than the three beauties of Shrek Academy, Ye Lingling and Du Gu Yan. She also carried a shorter snake cane, about two meters long, with only two yellow hundred-year soul rings.

Needless to say, this pair was the Snake Madam, Chao Tianxiang, and her granddaughter, Meng Yiran, from the original story.

Zhao Wuji sneered, “Six soul rings!” He immediately summoned his martial soul, seven soul rings appearing before the grandmother and granddaughter.

Seeing Zhao Wuji’s seven soul rings pulsating – two yellow, two purple, and three black, the optimal configuration – the old woman’s expression fell. She hadn’t expected a Soul Sage to be present. With her husband not here, retrieving the Phoenix-tailed Chicken Crown Snake would be difficult.

Still, she had to try. Perhaps the other party would give her some face. After all, the “Overpowering Dragon and Snake” (盖世龙蛇) were a renowned duo on the continent.

“Old woman Chao Tianxiang greets you, respected Soul Sage. You… cannot give the Phoenix-tailed Chicken Crown Snake to that child.”

“Chao Tianxiang!” Zhao Wuji, his initial disdain subsiding, thought, “It’s the Snake Madam from the Overpowering Dragon and Snake! She’s manageable, but the Overpowering Dragon and Snake couple are inseparable. If she’s here, then the Dragon Grandpa, Meng Shu, must be nearby.”

Meng Shu was an extremely powerful Soul Douluo, capable of performing a martial soul fusion technique with Chao Tianxiang, unstoppable by anything less than a Title Douluo. If Meng Shu appeared, Zhao Wuji would be no match for the couple. Qin Ming, a Soul Emperor, wouldn’t be of much help either.

Zhao Wuji, unusually polite, said, “So it’s Snake Madam. I am Zhao Wuji!”

Chao Tianxiang’s expression shifted. “So that’s where such a young Soul Sage came from. The renowned ‘Immovable King’ of the Soul Master world.”

Zhao Wuji looked no older than forty. Reaching Soul Sage at that age was indeed young.

Chao Tianxiang paid lip service, but grew more anxious. The Immovable King acted as he pleased, even daring to offend the Martial Soul Temple. He wouldn’t be easily intimidated by the Dragon and Snake family. Without Dragon Grandpa, the Phoenix-tailed Chicken Crown Snake’s soul ring was as good as gone.

“I don’t dare accept such a title. It’s just a bad reputation,” Zhao Wuji laughed. “I’ve long since retired from the Soul Master world and now teach at an academy. I’m here in the Star Dou Great Forest for my students to hunt their third soul rings. This thousand-year Phoenix-tailed Chicken Crown Snake happens to be suitable for one of them.”

Chao Tianxiang frowned. “You mean, you have students who’ve reached level thirty? These children?”

There were two groups of children, clearly separated. With her keen eyes, she saw that Zhao Wuji’s group was younger. The oldest, Dai Mubai, was about the same age as her granddaughter. The youngest were only eleven or twelve. Yet, someone among them had broken through level thirty?

“Even if the Phoenix-tailed Chicken Crown Snake is suitable for your student, we found and attacked it first. Give it back!” Meng Yiran urged. Such a good soul ring, perfectly suited to her attributes, was too good to pass up.

The importance of level thirty was self-evident. A suitable third soul ring significantly impacted future achievements.

“What proof do you have that you attacked it first?” Oscar, equally focused on the soul ring, demanded.

“Heh, young man, don’t be impatient. Look at the snake’s abdomen. See these wounds? My cane inflicted them. If it weren’t for its escape skills, it would’ve died long ago.” Chao Tianxiang pointed to several fatal wounds on the snake’s belly.

This proved Chao Tianxiang’s claim. Their request for the soul beast was reasonable.

Both sides refused to yield. As in the original story, Tang San would fight Meng Yiran for the soul ring.

In terms of soul power, the level-thirty Meng Yiran had a slight advantage. But in actual combat, Tang San, with his Tang Sect skills, could suppress her.

Meng Yiran, realizing she couldn’t match Tang San’s skill, shifted the battle to a soul power contest. Tang San, initially at a disadvantage, used the Xuan Tian Gong’s (玄天功) unique Daoist martial art properties to rapidly recover his soul power, gradually gaining the upper hand.

Nan Feihuang secretly activated the Ghost Eye ability of his external soul bone, observing Tang San’s soul power flow.

“This inner energy circulation…it’s indeed a Daoist martial art. I wonder where the Tang Sect obtained this Daoist technique.” Nan Feihuang didn’t believe the Xuan Tian Gong was created by the Tang Sect. The sect’s martial arts and actions were completely incompatible with Daoism.

The Xuan Tian Gong wasn’t as refined as the internal energy cultivation methods of the Dun Jia Tian Shu. Being familiar with Daoism, Nan Feihuang quickly understood the Xuan Tian Gong. Its characteristics were indeed gentle, endlessly replenishing, capable of generating inner energy during combat.

In a soul power contest against someone practicing Xuan Tian Gong with similar power, it was highly disadvantageous.

He estimated Meng Yiran would lose in under a minute.

Then, Nan Feihuang noticed something amiss. A green Qi inexplicably flowed through Tang San’s body, obstructing his soul power flow.

“Ugh…”

Tang San screamed and was sent flying by Meng Yiran.

Meng Yiran proudly retracted her martial soul. “Humph! A mere Blue Silver Grass martial soul daring to challenge me. This is the result!”

The Snake Madam looked at Zhao Wuji triumphantly. “Heh, Immovable King, the winner is decided. You have nothing to say?”
