Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

Therefore, when Mei Gongzi came today to report her duties, his emotions were the most conflicted. He wasn't sure how to face his daughter.

At this moment, seeing his own daughter's outstanding abilities, his heart became even more conflicted, filled with both pride and pain.

Fifteen minutes passed in a flash, and Mei Gongzi stood up again, her gaze still calm. Just this ability to remain so composed under the watchful eyes of so many Emperors made those without bias secretly nod in approval.

Her performance at the Ancestral Court's Elite Competition had been outstanding enough, yet what she was showing today was beyond even that.

"Your next opponent will be a peak Demon King, be ready," the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's voice echoed. Immediately, a light appeared in front of Mei Gongzi, and a powerful figure emerged.

This was a powerful being with distinct racial traits. Black scales covered its entire body, even its face, and though its form was humanoid, it stood over three meters tall, with a large tail extending from its back.

Its muscles were bulging, clearly filled with explosive power. The intense fluctuation of its bloodline even gave Mei Gongzi a feeling similar to when she faced Tang San during his Golden Armor Transformation. Of course, Tang San was not a god, whereas this opponent was a peak Demon King.

Mei Gongzi recognized the opponent's race at a glance. Dragonkin!

The dragon race had many different pureblooded clans, and many offshoots as well. But there was only one that was called simply "Dragonkin" and nothing else—the offspring of dragons and humans.

Unlike most human vassals, they did not acknowledge any connection to humans; almost all of them considered themselves dragons. These Dragonkin were inherently violent and bloodthirsty.

Even though there was only one generic name for them, Dragonkin born from different dragon bloodlines had completely different appearance and abilities. The one before Mei Gongzi clearly excelled in terms of strength and vitality, possessing immense explosive power.

But it’s not amatch for a first-tier bloodline, is it? Mei Gongzi vaguely understood in her heart that even though she was facing three fights instead of one, it seemed that not all of her opponents could possess first-tier bloodlines. It appeared that the rules of the Ancestral Court even restrained the ruler of the Ancestral Court to an extent; even if the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor wanted to target her, he couldn't blatantly break the rules.

The Dragonkin's eyes were blood-red, appearing extremely ferocious, and fangs protruded from its lips. In its right hand, it held a massive battle axe. The axe handle was two meters long, and the blade was a full meter wide. Yet this heavy battle axe appeared like nothing more than a straw in its hand.

"Begin!" With the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's announcement, the battle commenced.

The Dragonkin let out a low growl, and a blood-red aura instantly radiated from beneath its feet.

A domain! Mei Gongzi's pupils contracted suddenly; the opponent had activated a domain-level power right from the start. Since the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor had chosen this opponent to face her, this domain had to be specifically selected to counter her abilities.

The red aura swept across like a sandstorm, turning everything in its path crimson. Everything it touched seemed to be exuding a red mist that burned slowly.

Mei Gongzi remained still, choosing to analyze the situation calmly rather than take immediate action.

When the red aura swept over her, she felt as if her bloodline was boiling—not weakening but instead, seemingly strengthening. In the next moment, she understood the effect of this domain.

I see now…

The red aura covered a range of about two hundred meters in diameter, and within this area, it seemed as if all elements were burned away by the intense bloodline power, completely isolating the space from any external elemental energy influx.

It’s not just rejecting elemental energy—it’s annihilating it!

Without a doubt, this was an extremely rare domain.

The purpose of this domain against Mei Gongzi was clear: to prevent her from using space energy in battle. The inability to draw upon this energy undoubtedly put her at a severe disadvantage. Meanwhile, for the Dragonkin, this element annihilation domain only served to boil its bloodline, further enhancing its own power.

Faced with this situation, Mei Gongzi couldn't help but frown slightly. You people sure made an effort to target me. Let’s see what good that does you!

A wave of killing intent burst forth.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor’s eyes brightened, and he focused even more intently on Mei Gongzi.

Mei Gongzi's jet-black hair turned white almost instantly, and the killing intent around her surged dramatically. A circle of white light suddenly expanded from beneath her feet. The moment white light exploded, she moved like a bolt of white lightning, charging toward the Dragonkin, whose body was burning with intense bloodline power.

With the domain now solidly in place, the Dragonkin also charged toward Mei Gongzi.

But when the white aura swept over it, it felt a chill down its spine, as if a deep-rooted fear from its soul surfaced instantly. It was as though the killing intent of ten thousand demons descended upon it, forcibly extinguishing its boiling bloodline, causing its momentum to diminish significantly in an instant!

The God-Killing Domain!

Tang San knew it, so how could he fail to pass it on to Mei Gongzi? Moreover, the abilities of Mei Gongzi's White Tiger Transformation were all centered around killing intent. Over the past few months, Tang San had helped Mei Gongzi push her White Tiger Transformation further and further, allowing her to better control its traits and thus develop her own God-Killing Domain.

Big Cat and Tang San could also use the same domain, but compared to what they had displayed in the past, Mei Gongzi was orders of magnitude beyond. Not only was she a god now, but her bloodline abilities were uniquely suited to this domain.

Under the stimulation of the killing intent, Mei Gongzi's beautiful eyes took on an eerie pink hue, and her aura surged. The fierce killing intent erupted, and her speed and strength increased exponentially.

Since space energy is restricted, I simply won't use it!

With the full power of its massive body and high-tier bloodline, the Dragonkin swung its massive axe, bringing it down upon Mei Gongzi.

Mei Gongzi neither dodged nor evaded, instead charging straight at the giant axe. Just as the axe was about to strike her, her right hand suddenly rose, and sharp, crystalline white claws extended from her fingertips. These lethal claws gently brushed across the head of the axe like a hand plucking the strings of a zither, producing a crisp ding.

Yet this seemingly gentle touch caused the trajectory of the giant axe to shift to the side, as if it was suddenly aiming for something else. Although the Dragonkin hadn't used its full strength, it couldn't help but stagger at that moment.

Mei Gongzi employed a mysterious footwork technique and almost instantly flashed to its side. Her left hand swiped upward in a diagonal arc, directly targeting the opponent's throat.

All her movements were incredibly fast, from her initial charge to deflecting the giant axe, and finally to the explosive swipe of her claw. The entire process flowed like water, with no hesitation or delay.

If it weren't for the setting, the White Tiger Demon Emperor would have shouted "Good!" out loud.

All along, Mei Gongzi had been perceived as a master of space and nothing more. Although she had engaged in close combat during the Ancestral Court's Elite Tournament, it was rare and always very brief.

She had never shown her full prowess in close combat. But this sudden burst of power perfectly combined speed, strength, and the White Tiger Transformation's evolved God-Killing Domain, resulting in a tremendously powerful strike. It was an almost flawless attack! How could the White Tiger Demon Emperor not secretly applaud?

The Dragonkin Demon King was no easy opponent either. Seeing that it could not dodge, it forcibly twisted its upper body, using its shoulder to bear the brunt of Mei Gongzi's claws.
