Douluo: Heaven Seal

Chapter 43: Escape! Pursuit of the Soul Saint! Lu Yu vs. Soul Saint!

After running for about two kilometers, Lu Yu suddenly stopped. From his spirit guide ring, he took out a map, spreading it open for a quick glance.

> "There's a soul beast valley nearby!"

His eyes lit up. On the map, not far from his current location, a soul beast habitat was marked—Star Soul Valley.

It was labeled with a black triangle, indicating the presence of ten-thousand-year soul beasts, and in considerable numbers at that.

> "Time to try my luck!"

Since reaching Spirit Master rank 40, Lu Yu had not yet obtained his fourth spirit ring. This was the perfect opportunity.

But just as he was about to leave, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.

Then, a clear voice rang out:

> "Lu Yu! Wait!"

Lu Yu frowned and turned around, only to see seven figures leaping out of the shrubs. All of them wore aqua-blue uniforms—they were the student representatives of Tianshui Academy.

> "Why are you following me?" Lu Yu looked puzzled.

> "Handsome Lu! Let's stick together so we can look out for each other!"

Shui Yue'er was the first to speak.

Lu Yu glanced toward the direction of the battlefield, where waves of intense spirit power fluctuations still surged.

> "Scatter and flee! If those people catch up, at least not all of us will be captured at once!"

Surprisingly, Shui Yue'er nodded and replied seriously, blinking her watery eyes:

> "You're right!"

Then she turned and said to the others,

> "Sister! You guys go first! I'll follow Lu Yu! Smaller groups are harder to catch!"

But at that moment, Lu Yu's expression changed.

With a flick of his hand, the Fantian Seal appeared in his palm. He suddenly lunged toward the seven girls!

Shui Yue'er widened her eyes, blushing furiously, and spread her arms open...

But what she received was not a hug, but a powerful push!

Before they could react, all seven girls were blown away by the force of his shove.

Thankfully, none of them were delicate ornaments—they quickly came to their senses, released their martial spirits, and landed steadily.

> "Run!"

Lu Yu shouted, then turned and bolted like lightning in another direction.

The girls looked back and saw a man in black, standing exactly where they'd just been. A deep wound crossed his chest, and seven glowing spirit rings floated beneath him!

> "Split up and run!"

Shui Bing'er reacted quickly, shouted an order, and dragged the dazed Leng Yue'er away.

---

The black-clad man stood still, his eyes full of malice. Glancing toward Lu Yu's retreating figure, he murmured:

> "A three-ring Spirit Master, yet he has two thousand-year spirit rings... This must be the Lu Yu they call the top genius of the Heaven Dou Empire."

As soon as he finished, a chilling light gleamed in his eyes, and he darted off in Lu Yu's direction!

---

> "Damn it! Why's he chasing me and not those seven pretty girls? Is this guy… into men?"

As the pressure behind him grew stronger, Lu Yu grumbled while dashing through the forest.

He was making his way toward Star Soul Valley, a territory swarming with soul beasts, even ten-thousand-year ones.

The complex terrain there would help him counter the Soul Saint's pursuit.

With four Tiangang Talismans already active, his feet glowed with golden and electric light. Boosted by the Golden Light Spell and Thunder Art, he was confident the Soul Saint wouldn't catch him before he reached the valley.

But suddenly—

Lu Yu sensed the spirit energy behind him surging. The Soul Saint's speed skyrocketed, and the gap between them began to shrink rapidly!

> "An agility-type spirit master?!"

Lu Yu cursed in his heart.

> "Just my luck..."

Realizing the man would catch him before he reached the valley, Lu Yu abruptly stopped, his expression turning grim.

He turned around and saw the black-clad Soul Saint floating midair—bat-like wings flapping behind him.

> "A flying martial spirit?! No wonder he caught up so fast!"

---

> "Why aren't you running anymore?"

The man sneered as he dived straight at Lu Yu.

His voice was sharp and unpleasant—like a spoon scraping the bottom of an iron pot.

Lu Yu's gaze sharpened. The Fantian Seal rose into his hand. Three spirit rings—one yellow, two purple—flared into view.

His third spirit ring lit up—

> Control Seal!

A terrifying suction pulled directly at the black-clad man, disrupting his balance and speeding up his descent unintentionally.

At the same time, Lu Yu's body surged with lightning.

He struck forward with his palm—lightning condensing around it—six thunder symbols flickering, transforming into serpentine arcs that merged with the thunderstrike and blasted into the falling enemy.

> Boom! Boom! BOOM!

The jungle lit up with brilliant light.

The black-clothed man never expected such power from a mere three-ring Spirit Master. Caught off guard and disrupted by the Control Seal, he was struck head-on.

As he crashed in front of Lu Yu, his clothes were torn, and his exposed skin charred black from the strike.

> "Little brat! Die!"

He roared in rage, and his seventh spirit ring began to glow.

But then—

> "ROAR!!!"

A thunderous dragon's roar echoed!

Behind Lu Yu, purple wings spread wide!

The Soul Saint's martial spirit transformation was instantly interrupted—

> Martial Spirit Suppression!

Lu Yu's Wind and Thunder Wings came from a Wind and Thunder Bat on the verge of evolving into a true dragon!

Since the black-clothed man's martial spirit was also bat-type, it was completely suppressed!

Lu Yu's hand flicked again. A talisman flew out and turned into a giant shadowy palm overhead.

> Giant Spirit Palm Talisman!

The giant palm slammed directly onto the man's wings, throwing him off balance and smashing him to the ground at Lu Yu's feet.

---

After this fierce combo, Lu Yu's body trembled. His face turned deathly pale, and he spat a mouthful of blood.

The black-clad man struggled back up, saw Lu Yu's weak condition, sneered viciously, and lunged again.

Lu Yu's eyes remained locked on him, and his hidden hand trembled slightly.

Behind him, in the man's blind spot, two light-blue talismans silently formed and fused into his back—

Then—

> SIX layers of silver-white light shields appeared around Lu Yu!

At the same time, his aura recovered completely!

> Liu Ding Tianjia Talisman! Heaven and Earth Divine Talisman!

The man's heart sank.

> "A trap!"

But as a proud Soul Saint, he couldn't accept being thwarted by a junior. He charged in again, using his fourth and fifth spirit rings simultaneously!

From his mouth, a beam of dark purple light surged forward.

The beam struck Lu Yu's shield. Silver layers shattered one after another, but they regenerated continuously.

After eighteen layers were broken, the beam finally dissipated.

The man seized the moment and arrived directly in front of Lu Yu. His right hand morphed into a claw, swinging down toward Lu Yu's head!
