Chapter 300.
In a forest a few kilometers away from Soul City, there was an ordinary forest with no powerful soul beasts, a dark shadow can be seen flying quickly at low altitude. The speed was very fast.
This shadow was none other than Wang Feng!
Using the new abilities of the [Soul Devouring Blood Wing] Soul Skill, he had poured all his soul power into the blood wings behind him, leaving no trace! Fortunately, he hadn't used the Pangu Axe; otherwise, even with this ability, he couldn't have escaped!
"Fortunately, I escaped, and Zhu Qing is also not in danger," Wang Feng thought, relying on his consciousness to stay away from the Soul Hall. He was worried. Among the nine Titled Douluo that appeared in the Soul Hall Palace, Wang Feng hadn't seen the Peerless Douluo who possessed the Angel martial soul!
And to resist the two Titled Douluo he fought previously, he had to use all his strength and even had to use the Dark Angel Martial Soul, revealing all his cards!
When Qian Renxue was in the same empire, she could feel it, though it might be because Qian Renxue doesn't has an ordinary Seraphim martial soul. But now, in front of the Pope's Palace, using the Dark Angel Martial Soul would definitely be noticed by that person!
So after the teleportation, Wang Feng's whole body state disappeared. There was no trace of soul power left, and even Golden Lotus couldn't heal himself. Using Golden Lotus required soul power, and even the soul power stored by the Black Lotus was exhausted during the fight and when healing Zhu Zhuqing.
The large amount of soul power required for teleportation also emptied the reserve in the Black Lotus.
The energy of Meteoric Tears still couldn't transform into soul power while repairing the heart. The damage caused by Bibi Dong's two moves was too heavy. Now, Wang Feng could only rely on his body to automatically absorb soul power to replenish it slowly. He didn't dare to stop and meditate to quickly restore his soul power.
Wang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, unsure of how long he had run but confident he was far away from Soul City.
But suddenly at this moment, a golden light quickly zoomed in from the horizon and fell down in front of him, destroying the woods ahead of him directly into a clearing atleast 100m in radius!
Wang Feng stopped abruptly, feeling cold all over as a chill went down his spine. His worst fear had come true!
Outside the influence of the Pope's Palace, this Peerless Douluo headed the Elder's Palace –and didn't take action normally no matter what. He likely wanted to see Tang Hao and Bibi Dong fight, hoping to weaken Bibi Dong's strength, so he had been watching the show.
This level 99 Peerless Douluo was none other than Qian Renxue's grandfather, Qian Daoliu!
A cold sweat flowed down Wang Feng's heart. The system had designated the Pope's Palace as the check-in location without requirements, implying it was dangerous even when checking in.
It wasn't just because of Bibi Dong, but also because of this Peerless Douluo!
At this moment, though anxious, Wang Feng remained calm as much as possible.
What should he do now?
In front of Wang Feng, the impact of the figure's presence crushed all the trees to dusts, forming a vacuum zone. Wang Feng didn't turn around to flee as it would be pointless to do so. A level 99 Peerless Douluo was conceptually and literally very close to the level of a God in the Douluo world, virtually invincible in the mortal world. Even if Da Ming and Er Ming were present, they would also struggle to face him combined.
Wang Feng knew that in his current state, escaping from this Peerless Douluo was impossible.
Almost immediately after the opponent descended, Wang Feng realized he was completely locked onto. Despite all calculations, Wang Feng remained very calm, accepting that he couldn't escape no matter what.
Wang Feng slowly walked out and looked at the extremely handsome man standing a hundred meters away. The man wore pale golden clothes, his hair blond and long, partially hiding his face. With the breeze blowing through his hair, Wang Feng could clearly see his young looking handsome face but the wisdom in his eyes told otherwise. He was old, maybe the oldest Titled Douluo in the present era.
The man was tall and straight, standing at least 1.9 meters tall. His golden eyes shone with divine light as he calmly watched Wang Feng.
Qian Daoliu, one of the three Peerless Douluo in the Douluo world, was a figure Wang Feng didn't know much about, even from the original work. Wang Feng hadn't read much of the original story and only knew the general relationships between the characters.
Facing this legendary figure, Wang Feng suddenly smiled.
"Why are you smiling?" Qian Daoliu asked, showing some interest in Wang Feng. Despite his age, his voice was vigorous, clear and loud.
"Is senior here to kill me?" Wang Feng took a few steps forward and asked slowly.
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu was taken aback for a moment before replying lightly, "You know the answer yourself?"
"Why does senior want to kill me?" Wang Feng ignored the question and continued, "Is it because I am not a member of the Soul Hall and have offended it? Or is it because my martial soul has offended you?"
Qian Daoliu was a figure Wang Feng didn't remember much about, but he knew this old monster had always been hidden behind the scenes in the Soul Hall and rarely appeared. In the original work, even when Tang Hao caused trouble in the Soul Hall, Qian Daoliu didn't intervene. Wang Feng vaguely remembered that Qian Daoliu had chased Tang Hao before when he had killed his son.
So why hadn't Qian Daoliu taken action when Tang Hao caused trouble in the Soul Hall?
Wang Feng speculated that Qian Daoliu might have wanted to use Tang Hao to put pressure on Bibi Dong. So, why did he want to kill Wang Feng? Even if he didn't care about Tang Hao causing trouble, his reason for killing him would likely be because of his Dark Angel Martial Soul.
"Both," Qian Daoliu responded, standing with his hands behind his back. "If you only offended the Soul Hall, that would be Bibi Dong's concern. It has nothing to do with me. But I have never seen or heard of your martial soul before. This dark and evil angel martial soul is something my holy angel clan cannot tolerate!"
Qian Daoliu seemed to have some interest in Wang Feng and didn't plan to kill him immediately. Wang Feng's performance in the Soul Hall had also piqued his curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng remembered Qian Daoliu's identity. He belonged to the Angel Clan and also possessed an Angel Martial Soul but was not qualified to inherit the position of the Angel God. He was merely a –guide for the angel family, devoted to worshiping and protecting the Angel God. Only Qian Renxue, who possessed Angel martial soul, and was also someone qualified to inherit the position of Angel God.
This explained why, in the Heaven Dou Empire, only Qian Renxue could sense him. In this context, Qian Daoliu did have a reason to kill him. However, Wang Feng knew that his Dark Angel Martial Soul was something forced upon him by the system.
Wang Feng suddenly said. "Senior, may I ask, has your Angel Clan ever recorded an angelic martial soul like mine?"
Qian Daoliu was stunned upon hearing this. Indeed, there was no such record. To be precise, Wang Feng's Dark Angel Martial Soul had never existed in the Douluo World. If there had been, there would have been numerous dark Soul Halls opposing the Soul Hall, along with other evil forces advocating Dark Angels. However, the current Douluo World seemed to lack this, Wang Feng had never heard of it in history.
This means that Wang Feng's Dark Angel Martial Soul had never appeared in the Douluo World, or perhaps the Angel God– had never fallen into darkness.
"What if my martial soul is just a mutation from the original angel martial soul?" Wang Feng suddenly laughed. "We are all part of the angel family. Maybe I could even elevate the glory of the Angel family further. Senior, you should see that my Angel martial soul is not weak, I might even become a god in the future. When that time comes, your angel clan will undoubtedly thrive across the continent, giving future generations an additional choice."
"Isn't that right?"
"As for darkness and evil, senior, with all due respect, these are just different attributes," Wang Feng continued slowly. "Moreover, my type of Angel martial soul has never appeared in the history of the Angel clan. Do you plan to kill me just like that? I am a lone mutant angel..."
Wang Feng didn't care if the opponent was Qian Daoliu or not. Qian Daoliu was different from Bibi Dong, who was ruthless and self-serving. Someone like Bibi Dong would immediately think of killing you without any second thoughts. Trying to fool or persuade her was impossible.
And this Qian Daoliu had no personal grievances against him. In fact, Wang Feng had saved his special granddaughter to some extent. Although Qian Daoliu was part of the Soul Hall, he hadn't been involved in worldly affairs for years. Despite Qian Renxue being Bibi Dong's daughter, there was almost no mother-daughter relationship between them.
So, Wang Feng decided to give it a try.
"Divine light and evil darkness are just two types of energy with different attributes," Wang Feng continued. "If used for evil, it becomes evil, if used for good, it becomes holy. I think the angel clan to which the senior belongs doesn't have strict rules about martial souls, right?"
Of course, there couldn't be such a rule, because Wang Feng was the first to possess the Dark Angel Martial Soul. It had never existed before, so how could there be regulations against it?
Qian Daoliu was taken aback by Wang Feng's words. When he thought about it, it made sense. Historically, there had never been a Dark Angel Martial Soul like Wang Feng's, not even a similar one, so naturally, there were no such rules against him. Bibi Dong had earlier suggested that such a martial soul must not be allowed to exist, –which led him to chase Wang Feng. This was a kind of subjective bias.
But now, what this kid said seemed reasonable.
"Hahaha..." Qian Daoliu laughed. "you kid is very smart. Indeed, my angel family has no such martial soul, and there are no such rules against having it. I do have –some interest in yours angel of yours."
How could he not be interested? This was the only one on the continent, a unique soul bound to Wang Feng. As a member of the angel family, Qian Daoliu considered it might be worthwhile to catch and study Wang Feng instead of killing him outright.
"So..." Wang Feng asked slowly and hopefully.
"But I still want to kill you," Qian Daoliu said lightly. "Because you cannot join the Soul Hall, nor can you become a member of my angel family."
"..." Wang Feng was speechless.
