Douluo Dalu 3: The Legend of the Dragon King

She took a deep breath, and murmured, "I can tell that Yali is the woman you love. She really is the most kind-hearted woman in the world, and she is deserving of your love. Hence, I'm not saying all of this with any expectations; I just couldn't hold back the urge to get all of this off my chest before I turned 30. Please don't give me a response; there's no need to reject me because I already understand everything, I just don't want to hear it from you. Please leave me with this final beautiful memory."

Yun Ming opened his mouth to say something, but refrained from doing so in the end. Leng Yaozhu was a smart woman, and it was exactly because of this that she had said what she did.

Yun Ming heaved a faint sigh as he shook his head in a forlorn manner. "What's so good about me anyway?"

Leng Yaozhu raised a finger and pressed it against his lips, "I told you not to say anything; please. Listen to what I have to say, and once I'm done, I'll leave. Yulai is different from me; her love for you is more intense than mine. In the eyes of others, she's very extreme in her personality, but I know that her heart is very brittle. She should've been the heir to our family, but our seniors didn't understand her, so they passed the position down to me. She's very vulnerable and requires more care. After you rejected her, it was as if she had become a completely different person. 

"If it's possible, please make some room for her in your heart; even the tiniest bit of space is fine, as long as you can afford her some love and compassion. She's my little sister, and I don't want to see her continue to be tormented like this. I can sacrifice and discard everything, but I don't want to see her keep living like this."

Yun Ming faltered slightly upon hearing this before a wry smile appeared on his face.

Leng Yaozhu's face was slightly pale as she continued, "I don't know what's come over me today, but this what I've been harboring in my heart all this time. If you can squeeze out any additional love for any other woman, then please give it to Yulai; I beg of you."

After that, she extended a deep bow toward Yun Ming before rushing away.

...... 

The swords of fire and darkness continued to clash, sending violent energy fluctuations surging through the air.

Black flames seemed to be burning deep in Leng Yulai's eyes, which were filled with insanity and hatred.

Why? You knew I loved him, yet as my sister, you had to try and steal him from me! You already stole the position of family heir from me, but I didn't say anything as you had always been the big sister that's closest to my heart, but I loved him so much, to the point that I was willing to give my life for him! After I was rejected by him, I wanted to die, yet my big sister, the only one who was kind and close to me, betrayed me as well! Why? Why did you do this? 

Leng Yaozhu's eyes were filled with tears, and her heart was throbbing with agony.

She was also yelling with all her might in her own heart.

Why? Why did you kill him? We both loved him; even if he didn't reciprocate your feelings, shouldn't he have at least been a beautiful memory for us? You are the little sister whom I love more than anyone else in this world, yet you killed the man we both loved! Why did you choose depravity? Why have you destroyed everything? 

The four swords clashed, and Leng Yaozhu was superior in cultivation rank to Leng Yulai, but the gap in power wasn't very big.

However, at their level, the main disadvantage that all Evil Soul Masters had to suffer with was in their battle armor.

Leng Yaozhu was wearing a suit of four-word battle armor that had the Leng Family had commissioned Divine Blacksmith Zhen Hua to forge after pooling a huge amount of resources, and this was one of the keys to her rise to the position of vice-chairman in the Spirit Pagoda.

In contrast, Leng Yulai was only wearing a suit of three-word battle armor, and in this case, where their powers were quite similar, the battle armor disparity was making all the difference.

After a few clashes, Leng Yulai began to get forced back into retreat, while bursts of flames began to take shape behind Leng Yaozhu.

These flames were her mutated flames after undergoing a second mutation, and they would only appear during the course of battles.

They would gradually appear in the shape of water droplets, and she could only conjure up seven droplets at most, but all of them were extremely powerful.

They were given the name Heavenly Phoenix True Fire by her, and they were one of her main trump cards. Her martial soul had only undergone a second mutation after she attained her suit of four-word battle armor, so that was another advantage she had over Leng Yulai.

Thus, even though Leng Yulai's attacks were relentless, Leng Yaozhu's assault was only growing more and more powerful.

She wasn't just fighting for herself; she was also fighting for all of humanity.

She didn't even dare to imagine the heinous crimes that her sister had committed over the years as one of the Holy Spirit Cult's four heavenly monarchs.

All she wanted now was to be able to capture her and take her back. Even if she had to spend the rest of her life atoning for her sister's sins, she didn't want her sister to die on this battlefield. This was why she had challenged Leng Yulai right away; she didn't want anyone else to get to her first and potentially kill her!

However, Leng Yulai was completely oblivious to her sister's intentions, and she continued to attack Leng Yaozhu with all her might as the hatred in her heart spiked to a peak. Dark power was erupting incessantly from her dual swords of darkness, and as she retreated, her eyes had already begun to turn a dark purple color.

...... 

On the main battlefield, there was only one place where no other battles were taking place, and that was the site where Tang Wulin and Demon Sovereign were clashing.

As Tang Wulin flew toward Demon Sovereign and faced the purplish-golden ball of light that the latter released, the light in his eyes became extremely bright, and as opposed to withdrawing his Golden Dragon Spear, he thrust it directly toward the ball of light up ahead.

In the instant that the two of them clashed, the ball of light exploded into viscous liquid-like purplish-golden light that surged directly toward Tang Wulin.

However, Tang Wulin remained completely unflustered as he drew a gorgeous arc through the air with his Golden Dragon Spear.

Under the influence of his Golden Dragon Spear, the purplish-golden light also formed an arc in mid-air before being diverted to the side, flying directly toward the abyssal passageway.

Demon Sovereign was stunned to see this. She had been using godly power, which was fundamentally different from soul power!

If she had to be described in Soul Master terms, then she was currently at cultivation rank 100. Thus, the fact that Tang Wulin was able to divert her godly power with such apparent ease was astonishing to her.

In the world of the Sea God's Trident, Tang Wulin had fought his father countless times, and after what seemed like an eternity, his battle experience and understanding of Unpredictable Storm had been raised to completely new levels.

The key to this diversion of power was Unpredictable Storm.

Upon landing in the abyssal passageway, the streak of purplish-golden light instantly detonated a massive explosion, killing countless abyssal creatures, but unfortunately, all of the slain abyssal creatures merely returned to the abyssal passageway as abyssal energy, not giving Tang Wulin a chance to devour them.

In the next instant, Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear had already reached Demon Sovereign, who harrumphed coldly as she brought her hands together in an attempt to clamp the spear between her palms.

Right at this moment, Tang Wulin made a lightning-fast adjustment to his thrust, and all of a sudden, it was as if two Golden Dragon Spears had appeared, one of which was being withdrawn, while the other was being thrust directly toward Demon Sovereign's lower abdomen.

For the first time since attaining godly power, Demon Sovereign felt like she didn't have an advantage in battle. Tang Wulin's battle style appeared to be very simple, but he was completely unaffected by her godly power, and that was downright incredible.
