Chapter 34: Guang Biao's arrival

Chapter 34: Guang Biao's arrival If he hadn't been protected by Guang Biao, he would have been dragged out and shot by the Donghai City Law Enforcement Team even if he had nine course I checked it using my own authority! Liu Yixuan thought about it, but did not tell Guanglong about his plan. He just said coldly: "Guanglong, don't worry about how I know it. You must apologize to Uncle Li today and double the compensation for the loss, otherwise even if your brother comes, he can't save you." Hearing this, Guanglong's eyes flashed and a surge of anger suddenly emerged in his heart. I have been hanging around on the streets for so many years, and you made me bow my head and apologize with just one sentence. Aren't you taking me too lightly? "Boy, you are so arrogant. No matter who you are today, I will beat you up!" As he spoke, Guanglong clenched his right fist, took a step forward, and fiercely charged towards Liu Yixuan in front of him. At the same time, two circles of light rose from his feet. They were two soul rings, one white and one yellow. The exposed skin on his body turned iron-gray, and his neck even had raised iron-gray scales. A strong aura emerged from him. At the same time, two small souls appeared on the shoulders of the light dragon. They looked a bit like lizards, one of which was khaki and the other was iron-gray. The iron-gray lizard was obviously larger. The strength of a soul master will differ greatly with each ring difference, whether it is soul power or soul ring. So under normal circumstances, it is difficult for a soul master with one ring to defeat a soul master with two rings. Guanglong felt that although Liu Yixuan was a little strong, he was only one ring at most, and he could not be his opponent at all, so he wanted to teach him a lesson. With the appearance of two soul rings, the light dragon's body obviously expanded a lot, and its muscles became more exaggerated. Coupled with the scales on its body and the iron-gray skin, it gave people an extremely ferocious feeling. The first soul ring flickered, and his aura increased greatly. At the same time, the speed of his punches also increased a lot. There was an iron-gray light on his fist, and it was obvious that he was using the power of his martial soul. Seeing this scene, Gu Yue took action immediately. She waved her hand, and a yellowish-brown light flashed. The ground under Guanglong's feet immediately became soft, the speed of her fists slowed down, and the direction of attack also shifted. At this time, Liu Yixuan happened to take a step back and easily avoided Guanglong's attack.

The next moment, several fireballs fell from the sky and hit Guanglong's head. Guanglong felt threatened by the scorching temperature, but did not think much about it. He just raised his hands to block his head. After releasing his martial soul, his entire physical fitness had reached an extremely terrifying level. He easily broke free from the swamp on the ground, and the elemental attacks released by Gu Yue that fell on him were all blocked by his skin and big hands. Watching this scene, Tang Wulin was extremely surprised: this guy's martial soul seemed to be a very powerful existence. In addition, judging from his aura, his cultivation should not be just that of a great soul master. His soul power cultivation was probably above level twenty-five. In fact, Guanglong's martial soul is the Iron Armored Dragon, a subspecies of earth dragon that is best at strength and defense, so Gu Yue's attack had no effect on him. The light dragon strode towards Liu Yixuan. Seeing this, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie immediately stepped forward to help. There was a flash of light in Xie Xie's hand, and a golden light dragon dagger appeared. At the same time, a yellow hundred-year soul ring rose. He shook his right hand lightly, and the first soul skill, the light dragon blade, was activated. A golden light blade flew out, cut through the sky, and slashed fiercely at the light dragon. Tang Wulin also released his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and activated his first soul skill, Entanglement, instantly entangling the advancing Light Dragon. Being restrained, Guang Long was furious and immediately summoned his strength to try to break free. The fragile Blue Silver Grass could of course withstand Guang Long's strength, but it only lasted half a second. At this time, Xie Xie's Guang Long dagger also fell on Guang Long's body, and a blood mark deep enough to see the bone appeared on Guang Long's chest. It has to be said that the Hundred Years Soul Skill was still very powerful. Facing the Light Dragon's first soul skill, it was a complete crushing blow. Even though the opponent's cultivation was one level higher than Xie Xie's, the Light Dragon Blade still broke through the Light Dragon's defense in an instant, causing terrible damage to the opponent. "what!" With a scream, Guanglong's face immediately became ferocious. "Boy, you have succeeded in irritating me. I am going to kill you." As he spoke, Guang Long roared and rushed towards Xie Xie madly, punching him, but Xie Xie dodged it with his flexible movements and he was unable to touch him. On the other side, Gu Yue raised his hands with a solemn expression, fire flickered on the fingertips of his right hand, green light shrouded the fingertips of his left hand, and he slowly closed his hands. Suddenly, a small green and red whirlwind blew towards the light dragon. This is the fusion ability of the two elements of wind and fire that she can currently master. Feeling threatened, Guanglong directly released his second soul skill, which was a good hundred-year soul skill. As the second soul ring flickered, a faint layer of silver appeared on his iron-gray skin, and even his eyes shone with silver light. His body swelled again, and a strong soul power fluctuation surged throughout his body. His two palms became obviously larger, with protruding joints, and sharp claws over three inches long grew in front. The second soul skill——Iron Armored Dragon Body! In fact, Guanglong's Armored Dragon Martial Soul itself is a very good existence, but because of his poor background, his family could only put resources on his brother, and bought the soul for the other party first. In the end, when Guanglong obtained the soul, he was over eighteen years old, which delayed the best time for cultivation. This caused his cynical character. Later, Guanglong finally became a great soul master and had a second soul, but it was difficult to improve because of his age, so he started this uncapitalized business. His Guang Biao chose to indulge himself because of guilt, which caused Guanglong's lawless character. But the Iron Armored Dragon Martial Soul is indeed a high-level Martial Soul, and his two souls are also quite good choices. The second soul skill is activated, and the power of the Light Dragon is raised to a whole new level in both offense and defense. His soul power of up to level 27 is fully erupted, and immediately produces a terrifying suppression effect.

Gu Yue's vortex of wind and fire was dispelled by his powerful soul power almost the moment he released his second soul skill. Tang Wulin rushed forward with a hammer in hand, but was slapped away by Guanglong along with the hammer. Xie Xie was also chased up and down and was in danger because he had slashed Guanglong with a knife before, so Guanglong kept chasing him, wanting revenge. Looking at this scene, Liu Yixuan understood that it was time for him, the assistant, to take action. With a flash, he came in front of Guanglong, circulated his energy and blood, and punched out. The circulation of Qi and blood throughout the body makes this punch full of power. Seeing this, Guanglong was not surprised but happy, and immediately punched out. The iron-gray fist with a faint light cut through the sky and collided with Liu Yixuan's small fist. "boom!" There was a crisp sound like the collision of metal, and Guanglong's whole body shook, and he flew out in an instant. He fell heavily to the ground as if a piece of rag, his blood churning, his palms shaking violently, and he felt like all the bones in his body were about to break. On the other side, Liu Yixuan stood firmly in place. Seeing this scene, the people at the four tables were shocked. They really didn't expect that Guanglong, a second-ring great soul master, would be completely unable to fight back in front of Liu Yixuan and was killed instantly. What I didn’t expect was that Liu Yixuan didn’t even release his spirit ring when he killed the light dragon instantly! What kind of monster is this? Guanglong looked up at Liu Yixuan, feeling incredulous that he had lost to a little brat in the area of ​​strength, which was his best area. At this time, several fireballs fell from the sky, burning Guanglong and making him scream. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a piece of charcoal. Immediately afterwards, two large silver hammers smashed hard into his chest. After suffering such a horrific blow, Guanglong's eyes bulged out and a large mouthful of bright red blood spurted out of his mouth. It was unknown how many ribs were broken. Severe pain came from all parts of his body, making Guanglong couldn't help but scream like a pig being slaughtered. The soul skill was broken by Liu Yixuan's punch, and Guanglong's defense also decreased a lot, and it could no longer withstand the attacks of Gu Yue and Tang Wulin. But it’s not over yet. Xie Xie’s attack also followed Tang Wulin’s. He swung the Light Dragon, aimed at its abdomen, and stabbed it three times like lightning, causing the Light Dragon to faint from the pain instantly. Seeing this scene, Liu Yixuan knew that he didn't need to take action, so he clapped his hands, gave Uncle Li a handful of federal coins, and then said to Xie Xie and others, "Let's go!" "it is good!" Hearing this, Xie Xie glanced at Guanglong, spat in disdain, and then left with Liu Yixuan and the other two. "Boss!" At this time, Guanglong's two younger brothers reacted and ran to check Guanglong's injuries in horror. Naturally, they found that he was only left with one breath. The two men rushed Guanglong to the hospital for emergency treatment. Whether out of loyalty or because the other party's brother was the captain of the East China Sea Mecha Brigade, they could not abandon Guanglong.

Seeing that there was no excitement to be seen, the onlookers around shook their heads and left. They were not optimistic about Liu Yixuan and the others at all. Even though these kids won the fight, they would definitely be in big trouble when the other party's brother came looking for them. However, Liu Yixuan also took this into consideration. When they returned to school, he looked at Xie Xie and asked, "Xie Xie, do you think Guanglong will take revenge on Uncle Li?" Hearing this, Xie Xie scratched his head and said, "He probably doesn't have the ability to do that for the time being. We beat him up. Even if he recovers by chance, he probably won't dare to provoke Uncle Li again. Besides, that place is a snack street after all. Even if he wants to collect protection money, he can't go too far. I'll ask my family to take care of that place, and it shouldn't be a problem." Liu Yixuan asked, "What if his brother Guang Biao comes looking for him?" Hearing this, Xie Xie was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liu Yixuan and said, "Is his brother Guang Biao really the captain of the East Sea City Mecha Brigade?" Liu Yixuan nodded: "Yes!" Hearing this, Xie Xie's expression instantly turned ugly: "There's nothing I can do. I'd better let Uncle Li do business somewhere else." Each city has its own armed forces. In addition to the regular police deployment to maintain normal order, there are also military deployments. Donghai City is a large city, and it is located on the coast, so it often encounters attacks by sea soul beasts. Therefore, the Federation has deployed a mecha brigade consisting of 500 soul guide mechas here. The mecha brigade is at the division level, which is only one level lower than the chief executive of Donghai City. There is no subordinate relationship between them. From this we can see that Guang Biao's status is still very high, otherwise Guang Long would not dare to collect protection fees so unscrupulously. Although Xie Xie's family is a family of mecha masters and is quite powerful, Guang Biao, a captain who leads a mecha brigade, is still a little weak. Although he has deep local connections, it is still very difficult to suppress Guang Biao, otherwise Donghai City should be renamed Xiejia City. Seeing Xie Xie’s sad face, Gu Yue’s eyes flashed with contempt: “Are you a disciple of a big family in Donghai City? How come you can’t even deal with a small mecha brigade captain?” Hearing this, Xie Xie looked at Gu Yue speechlessly and said, "The mecha brigade is a division-level force. Their captains are usually six-ringed soul emperors. A strong man of this level, coupled with a mecha, can walk sideways in Donghai City." "Although my father is also a mecha master at the level of a six-ring soul emperor, he may not be able to defeat this light burst." Hearing this, Tang Wulin's heart sank. He suddenly thought of something and said with some worry, "Will Guang Biao find our school?" This time, they beat Guanglong without showing any mercy. Although they were right, who knew whether Guangbiao would reason with them? Liu Yixuan said: "Definitely!" Tang Wulin became even more worried: "What should we do then?" They can defeat Guang Long, a two-ringed soul master, but they can never be a match for Guang Biao, a six-ringed soul emperor. Gu Yue curled his lips and said with disdain: "What are you afraid of? If an enemy comes, I will fight him; if water comes, I will block it with earth. If Guang Biao dares to come, I will let him know how powerful I am." Hearing this, Xie Xie glanced at Gu Yue and said speechlessly: "Sister, do you know the value of a Soul Emperor-level mecha master?" "That person only possesses a yellow advanced mecha. Their overall strength can reach the level of a seven-ringed soul saint. We can't deal with them at all. Even Wu Changkong may not be able to deal with them." Xie Xie didn’t know that Wu Changkong was a battle armor master, so he said that. Hearing Xie Xie's words, Gu Yue crossed his arms across his chest, his face indifferent, but in his heart he felt even more disdainful. Just a Soul Emperor. Liu Yixuan didn’t take Guang Biao seriously, so he patted Xie Xie on the shoulder and said, “Okay, you don’t have to worry about Guang Biao, just leave him to him.” "Xie Xie, please ask your family to take care of Uncle Li." "As for Guang Biao, I will make him understand who should not be provoked."

Hearing this, Tang Wulin glanced at Liu Yixuan and asked doubtfully, "Boss, do I have a way to deal with a six-ringed Battle Soul Emperor?" "rest assured!" Hearing this, Liu Yixuan patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder, smiled mysteriously, and said, "You forgot that I am a core disciple of the Spirit Pagoda!" After hearing this, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie suddenly realized what was going on. Yup! In this world, there are top forces like the Spirit Transferring Tower, which is rich enough to rival a country. It has many powerful men under its command and is very powerful. It can easily capture a small mecha captain. …… After returning to his dormitory, Liu Yixuan immediately took out his soul guide phone and called his beautiful sister. "Hey, Sister Qianxue, I'm in a bit of trouble. This is it..." "Oh, this is a small matter. As the captain of the mecha brigade, Guang Biao broke the law knowingly and protected evil forces. He has violated the taboo of the Federation. How do you want to deal with him? Kill him or disable him?" "You don't have to be so cruel. Just teach him a profound lesson. After all, he is the captain of the Mecha Brigade of Donghai City. He should give the Donghai Administrative Office some face..." "I understand!" After hanging up the phone, Meng Qianxue immediately left her villa and ran to the East China Sea Mecha Brigade’s base to talk to Guang Biao. At this time, Guang Biao had just received the news that his brother was beaten to a pulp. He instantly fell into a state of rage, and directly called a group of mecha masters under him, preparing to go to Donghai College to find trouble with Liu Yixuan and the other three. Unexpectedly, before he even went out, he ran into Meng Qianxue, a Soul Emperor-level second-level battle armor master who came to cause trouble for him. Faced with this situation, Guang Biao's scalp went numb, and he was beaten up without any chance to fight back. Three of his ribs were broken, and he was almost frozen into a Muggle by Meng Qianxue's icy power. At night, he woke up and received a dismissal notice from the East China Sea Administrative Office. The reason was that a two-character battle armor master reported that he was shielding his brother from breaking the law. Guang Biao couldn't stand the blow and fainted again immediately. Faced with a report from a second-level battle armor master, the Donghai Municipal Government demonstrated unprecedented efficiency, directly fired Guang Biao, and issued him a huge fine. Originally, Guang Biao wanted to use the power of the Federation to intimidate Meng Qianxue, the second-level battle armor master, but now his plan has been ruined as the Donghai Municipal Government has turned against him. The next day, Guang Biao discovered in despair that there was something wrong with his martial soul. His soul power actually dropped. He was shocked and suspected that Meng Qianxue did it. He immediately ran to the gate of Donghai College and knelt down with a huge wooden board in his hand. His rough face was full of decadence. ………… ………… (End of this chapter)
