Chapter 220 The Scapegoat
After noticing Haiwang Douluo's reaction, Qin Ming knew his chosen tactic was correct.
'Holy Flame.'
He murmured to himself, then transformed all the flames of his martial soul into pure white flames that greatly increased his speed.
Relying on his high mobility, the distance between Qin Ming and Haiwang Douluo widened again.
"Senior, there's no rule about where we have to fight."
With that, Qin Ming unleashed a pure white sword aura towards Haiwang Douluo in the distance.
This sword aura, about ten feet long, rapidly expanded in Haiwang Douluo's vision.
Haiwang Douluo also faintly sensed the sharp aura emanating from it.
Not daring to be careless, Haiwang Douluo slightly sidestepped Qin Ming's sword aura.
Haiwang Douluo looked up at Qin Ming again.
The moment he dodged, the distance between them had increased slightly.
Seeing this, Haiwang Douluo was startled.
'Damn it, this kid is completely unwilling to get close to me.'
"In that case, my illusionary domain is completely useless."
Thinking this, Haiwang Douluo was slightly lost in thought.
"Judging from this kid's expression, he must have been prepared.
But how did an outsider like him know about my domain?
These Spirit Hall people have only just arrived on the island and haven't met many people.
The High Priest couldn't possibly have told this kid our information.
Could it be Xiaobai who told him?"
After thinking it over again and confirming that he had no other targets, Haiwang Douluo gritted his teeth.
"This Xiaobai, doesn't she know how to keep her mouth shut?
Why does she tell everything to outsiders!"
Just as Haiwang Douluo was pondering, the familiar sharp aura came again.
*Buzz—*
Realizing something was wrong, Haiwang Douluo abruptly turned his head to look to his side.
At this moment, a dozen pure white sword energies had already pierced through the gray mist and were rapidly approaching him.
In the short time he was pondering, these sword energies were already very close to his location.
'Damn it!'
Haiwang Douluo hurriedly tried to dodge, but because he had been distracted,
several sword energies still struck him.
*Thud*
—accompanied by the sound of flesh being torn, several bloody marks appeared on Haiwang Douluo's body.
Feeling the pain, Haiwang Douluo dared not be careless again.
He warily looked at Qin Ming in the distance.
At this moment, Qin Ming, who was executing a long-range attack against a short-range one, raised an eyebrow.
Those attacks just now were merely probing.
Qin Ming hadn't expected his attacks to successfully hit Haiwang Douluo.
Realizing that Haiwang Douluo must have been distracted by his chosen tactic,
Qin Ming mimicked the tone Haiwang Douluo used in the original story, the one where Xiao Wu provoked Tang San, and shouted at Haiwang Douluo.
"Senior, how did you become a Title Douluo?
I'm just an ordinary Soul Emperor!
How could I possibly hit you like that?"
Hearing this, Haiwang Douluo's composure crumbled.
After a cold snort, Haiwang Douluo charged towards Qin Ming from afar.
Ignoring the consumption of his own soul power, Haiwang Douluo unleashed all of his multiple area-of-effect soul skills at once.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body.
Fourth Soul Skill, Snake Shadow Explosion.
Fifth Soul Skill, Edge of Despair.
Eighth Soul Skill, Dance of Ten Thousand Snakes."
As soon as Haiwang Douluo finished speaking, a strange, deep purple snake appeared behind him. With the enhancement of his Martial Soul True Body, he condensed a purple sphere several meters in size.
Pointing it at Qin Ming from afar, countless streams of light rapidly poured towards him.
Simultaneously, countless strange little snakes resembling the shape of Hai Wang Douluo's Martial Soul True Body swam swiftly towards Qin Ming.
Seeing this, Qin Ming curled his lip.
Qin Ming was prepared, and given the considerable distance between them,
he simply increased his speed and flew further away, easily avoiding all of Hai Wang Douluo's attacks…
A moment later, after Hai Wang Douluo finished releasing his Soul Skill, Qin Ming proactively closed the distance.
Before Hai Wang Douluo could even catch his breath after releasing his Soul Skill, Qin Ming unleashed several more sword energies at him.
Seeing the sword energies rushing towards him again, Hai Wang Douluo was completely numb.
Barely dodging Qin Ming's attacks, the frustrated and mentally exhausted Hai Wang Douluo, tormented by Qin Ming's fighting style, shouted at Qin Ming,
"Qin Ming, can't you fight me in close combat?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming, in the distance, shrugged at Hai Wang Douluo.
"Senior, I'm just a minor Soul Emperor, and I'm much younger than you..."
Hearing Qin Ming's words, Hai Wang Douluo finally snapped out of his emotional turmoil.
Realizing his reaction had been somewhat excessive, Hai Wang Douluo blushed slightly.
Looking at Qin Ming, who, though not attacking again, remained vigilant,
Hai Wang Douluo knew he had little chance of winning this battle.
If Qin Ming simply kept him at bay from a distance, occasionally unleashing a few sword strikes, he would eventually be defeated.
Realizing this, Hai Wang Douluo scanned his surroundings.
After confirming no one was around, he waved his hand at Qin Ming, saying,
"Qin Ming, I'm done fighting. I concede this battle."
With that, Hai Wang Douluo decisively retracted his Martial Soul.
Ignoring Qin Ming in the distance, Haiwang Douluo silently thought,
"Little White, you just wait!"
Qin Ming was slightly surprised to see Haiwang Douluo directly admit defeat.
However, he was happy to conserve some soul power for the upcoming battle.
After deactivating his amplification-type soul skills, Qin Ming tossed a healing orb towards Haiwang Douluo from afar.
"Senior, you know the function of this orb.
You can use it yourself."
Haiwang Douluo caught the healing orb Qin Ming threw and began using it, then nodded.
"I understand."
As he spoke, Haiwang Douluo looked at Qin Ming again.
Seeing Qin Ming preparing to leave again, Haiwang Douluo couldn't help but call out to him.
"Qin Ming, are you going to challenge the others?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming glanced at Haiwang Douluo.
"Yes, Senior."
After quickly discerning the direction Qin Ming was heading, Haiwang Douluo realized that Ming Ming's next opponent was Hai Gui Douluo.
Remembering that Sea Ghost Douluo favored using poison ambushes, Sea Delusional Douluo knew he had to warn him,
lest Sea Ghost Douluo be caught off guard by Qin Ming like he had.
Thinking this, Sea Delusional Douluo cursed Little White again in his heart.
Then, he called out to Qin Ming,
"Qin Ming, let's go together."
Before Qin Ming could answer, Sea Delusional Douluo continued,
"I happen to have something to discuss with him, and I can show you the way."
Hearing Sea Delusional Douluo's words, Qin Ming remained silent.
The two flew together towards the Sea Ghost Sacred Pillar…
