Jing Hongchen knew that it was a very refreshing thing to descend from the sky and show himself before the people. Not only could he accomplish great things, but he could also gain the attention of the audience.
For example, his sneak attack on the severely injured Dark Demon Evil God Tiger not only attracted the surprised looks of Nebula Douluo and Princess Xingluo, but also the grandchildren and students behind him silently gave him a thumbs up.
It's not that Jing Hongchen doesn't want to be the one who reaps the spoils, it's mainly because the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is too evil and Nebula Douluo is about to be swallowed. If it eats a Titled Douluo or runs away directly, Jing Hongchen doesn't know how much effort it will take to take it down.
Without hesitation, Jing Hongchen appeared in mid-air and waved his hand. Hundreds of soul-guiding metal tubes behind him exploded again, emitting soul-guiding light beams of various effects and colors, shooting at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
His attack was extraordinary. He had hundreds of soul guide cannons of at least level seven, including three level nine soul guide cannons. The overwhelming light beams were enough to drown a Super Douluo.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was caught off guard and its skin and flesh were torn apart, and the tiger's roar was filled with a hint of unbearable pain.
"The era of pure soul masters has long passed. Now is the era of soul guides. Come and have a taste of the power of my Mingde Hall's soul guide technology!"
Jing Hongchen carefully but boldly manipulated the soul guide cannon to focus fire on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Among the three level nine soul guide cannons, one had a nerve paralysis effect, one had a mental shock effect, and one had an ice effect.
Each one is specially prepared for powerful hundred thousand year soul beasts. Together with other seventh or eighth level soul guide cannons, although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is very powerful, it cannot withstand the bombardment of Jing Hongchen.
At the same time, Jing Hongchen's whole body burst into red light, and a disc in front of his chest floated up. The strong red light bloomed outward and turned into a huge light curtain, protecting himself, Xu Tianxi and the other two behind it.
Xu Tianxi raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that the dean was really a model worker.
There is no other reason. This soul guide device is Hongchen's blessing. Jing Hongchen claims that he has this ninth-level soul guide device, and he can temporarily block the attack of the ninety-eighth-level Super Douluo.
Judging from the performance of Xuan Zi and Moon in the original novel, his words were not bragging, and now they are more than enough to stop the possible counterattack of this 20,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil Tiger.
Seeing that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which posed a life threat to the Fan Crown duo of the Xingluo Empire, was blown to death by Jing Hongchen, Xu Tianxi secretly became alert and mounted a seventh-level fixed-type soul guide cannon launcher on his shoulder.
At the same time, he reminded Jing Hongchen in a low voice: "Dean, I have read in ancient books that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has a very terrifying innate ability. It can use the evil god hook on its tail to drag the enemy into a different space and start a desperate fight. You must be careful."
Xiao Hongchen asked in surprise, "This guy is about to die. Even if he drags us into the alien space, what can he do?"
Xu Tianxi said calmly: "It can turn you into the appearance you had when you were six years old, while it itself remains in its current appearance and swallows you in one gulp."
"Hiss~~ Doesn't that mean we're doomed?" Xiao Hongchen took a breath of cold air.
"The only way is to not be dragged in by it. Even if you can't avoid it, you must destroy its protective energy before it activates this ability. This will allow it to return to its infancy."
As Xu Tianxi spoke, he took out a level 7 fixed-type soul guide cannon and loaded it with twelve level 6 fixed-type soul guide shells. This was the stock he had applied to transfer from Mingde Hall in the name of research.
He calibrated the eyepiece, locked onto the position of the Dark Demon Evil Tiger from a distance, and prepared to give it the final blow.
"Dean, I'll fire in a moment, please hold back. This guy's talent is too special, we can't let him have any chance to breathe." Xu Tianxi said seriously.
"Also, Dean, after the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger fell, it might have condensed its essence into a bead. It used its spatial ability to send it away. This is the crystallization of its ability and must not be let go."
"Okay!" Jing Hongchen's eyelids sank, he put on a pair of gloves, and adjusted the angle of the soul guide cannon.
Three breaths later, Xu Tianxi activated the fixed-type soul guide cannon with a solemn expression. Nine gorgeous parabolas suddenly flew out in the air and fell towards the head of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Jing Hongchen used the ninth-level paralyzing soul guide cannon to strike the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger hard, causing its body to freeze and unable to dodge the sixth-level fixed-type soul guide cannon shells fired at it.
"Boom boom—"
Nine cannons exploded in succession, creating a mushroom cloud-like shock wave. Even Nebula Douluo Manyi and Xu Jiujiu, who had already retreated far away, could not help but turn pale.
"Is that a level 6 fixed-type soul guide shell? So powerful."
A strong sense of fear emerged in Manyi's eyes. The power of the sixth-level fixed-type soul guide shells exceeded that of most eighth-level soul guide devices. Twelve shells fired at the same time were enough to pose a life threat to the Soul Douluo.
Even if this thing fell near her and exploded, she would still have a headache.
Xu Jiujiu's focus was different from Manyi's. She was a little hesitant about whether to run away quickly.
Jing Hongchen's appearance was too cool, his strength was too powerful, he also called himself "this hall master", and his body shape was very distinctive. Xu Jiujiu was not a fool, so he immediately thought of his identity.
The dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, the first soul instructor academy in the Sun Moon Empire, the head of Mingde Hall, the first scientific research institution, one of the three legendary ninth-level soul instructors of the Sun Moon Empire, the head of the Hongchen Family, the Duke of the Sun Moon Empire, Jing Hongchen!
Although according to intelligence, there are more than three ninth-level soul mentors in the Sun-Moon Empire, and the actual number is more than five, but Jing Hongchen, the head of the Mingde Hall, must be the best among them, the absolute core figure with real power, and his strength is also quite astonishing.
For Jing Hongchen, it would be just a matter of flipping his hand to deal with them.
But now their soul power is almost exhausted. If Jing Hongchen wants to keep them, they seem to be unable to escape? Just as he hesitated for a long time, the gray light of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger completely dissipated, and the incomplete body fell heavily, gushing out a ball of gray air, and then turned into a black soul ring as deep as the night.
After the soul ring appeared, an astonishing scene took place: light flashed on the huge body of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and a dark bead rose up.
The bead emitted two kinds of cyan and blue light, and a small black hole with a diameter of one meter suddenly appeared around it, about to suck the bead in. At this moment, Jing Hongchen appeared next to the black bead, holding the bead tightly with his hands wearing the eighth-level soul guide gloves, and the soul guide light around him shone brightly, filling the black hole.
"A cooked duck wants to fly away. Do you think I am a vegetarian?"
After proudly taking the spoils and using a soul storage device to collect the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring, Jing Hongchen waved to Xu Tianxi and the other two who landed with him to show his victory.
Xu Tianxi nodded and smiled, praising the Hongchen Hall Master for his powerful mobility. He was worthy of being the Mingde Hall Master, as he had all kinds of equipment.
The Hongchen brothers and sisters clapped their hands loudly and looked at their grandfather with admiration, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the Hongchen Hall Master.
Jing Hongchen suppressed the smile on his face and waved his hands. Then he turned around pretending to be calm, coughed twice, and said leisurely: "You two from the Xingluo Empire, this hall master can be said to have saved your lives this time. Don't you want to come and say hello?"
It's here again.
Manyi and Xu Jiujiu looked at each other helplessly, sighing in their hearts, but forced a smile on their faces, and bowed to Jing Hongchen to express their gratitude.
"I would like to thank Master Mingde for saving my life. If I have the chance someday, I will repay you." Manyi said in a stiff voice.
Xu Jiujiu's voice was much more natural: "Thank you very much, Senior Hongchen, for saving me. I only regret that I have nothing to repay you now."
"If Senior Hongchen does not give up, Jiujiu is willing to invite Senior Hongchen to visit our Xingluo Empire on behalf of the Xingluo Imperial Family, so as to fulfill the hospitality of the host."
Regardless of their stance, Jing Hongchen did save their lives, and now the situation is stronger than the person, so there is nothing wrong in saying thank you.
As long as the other party doesn't take them back to the Sun and Moon Empire, everything will be fine.
"Visiting the Xing Luo Empire? I have no interest in your Xing Luo Empire."
Jing Hongchen shook his head nonchalantly and raised his hand, saying, "I know that the relationship between the two countries is not harmonious. You are on guard against me, and I will not believe that you are sincerely repaying my kindness."
"I don't believe him if he tells me this. So...you swear in the name of your martial spirits that you will bring back three soul bones that are over 50,000 years old. That will be my reward for saving you. We don't owe each other anything."
"How is it? I see there are three of you in total. Three soul bones is fair, right?"
As he spoke, Jing Hongchen revealed an interested smile and looked back and forth at Xu Jiujiu, Manyi, and Huang Heyun who was lying on the ground with his breath left.
For him, capturing three people or even killing them is just a matter of a click, but it doesn't make much sense. It's better to get some practical benefits.
If they defeat the other party and negotiate with the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Empire will grit its teeth and give them something in exchange, but if they interact with the Star Luo Empire, the Sun and Moon Royal Family will inevitably be involved.
The competition for the crown prince in the Today Moon Empire is very fierce. Jing Hongchen does not want to deal with them, nor does he care about the olive branches extended to him by several princes including Xu Tianran.
And if they showed up together, would Xu Jiawei be able to give away more soul bones and give him three more? Jing Hongchen knew it was impossible without even thinking about it! It would probably attract more attention and cause more trouble, so it was better to keep quiet and make a fortune.
As for killing people, it is easy to do but there is no benefit. He has already reached the highest position in the country and does not need such merit to add glory to himself. If it is publicized, the Hongchen Family will become the number one target of blood feud in the Xingluo Empire.
He was not afraid of retaliation, but his three children were not.
If he just waits for twenty years and his three children grow up, he will reap huge rewards. There is no need for him to jump into the quagmire or get himself into trouble.
Hearing this, Manyi's face trembled, and the smile on Xu Jiujiu's cheek suddenly froze.
But the next moment, Xu Jiujiu's expression returned to normal, and he nodded lightly: "Okay, Jiujiu swears in the name of Xingguan Wuhun and the members of Xingluo Royal Family that I will send three soul bones of more than 50,000 years old after I return to thank Hongchen Hall Master for saving my life."
"Your Highness..." Manyi looked at him in surprise for a long time, thinking how could you agree to this without even bargaining?
"Grandma Manyi, the Hongchen Hall Master is extremely powerful. Jiujiu has long admired him. Today, he saved our lives, as well as Huang Heyun. I will go find my brother and tell him about the three soul bones that are more than 50,000 years old."
Xu Jiujiu forced a smile and said, she was horrified when she heard Jing Hongchen's request, but her life and death were not in her own hands at the moment, so what could she do if she didn't agree? They had no right to bargain.
If we were taken to the Sun-Moon Empire by the other party, the trouble would be even greater.
"Haha, Princess, you are really straightforward. I just like your decisiveness. It's really refreshing!"
Jing Hongchen laughed loudly. The price he proposed was well considered. Three top-grade soul bones were not cheap, but they did not exceed the other party's psychological expectations.
Xu Jiujiu forced a smile and said, "I have long been fascinated by your academy's soul guidance technology. I was even more astonished when I saw the hall master perform just now. I wonder if I can start learning and exchanges with your academy in the future?"
"Oh? Your Highness Princess has such intention?"
Jing Hongchen's eyes turned from "enlightenment" to surprise when he looked at Xu Jiujiu.
