"But this battle is not over yet. To show my respect for you, I will go all out next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other four soul rings on Luo Chen's body all lit up. The rune on his chest emitted a dazzling white light, which turned into a halo covering his entire body. The heavy hammer in his left hand grew larger and emitted white lightning. His helmet shone, and white flames appeared from his eyes.

Luo Chen raised the sledgehammer high, and another purple soul ring lit up. The halo of the sledgehammer suddenly expanded, forming a huge sledgehammer phantom, and the runes on the hammer were clearly visible.

"Hammer of Punishment!"

Looking at the heavy hammer falling on his head, Gu You remained expressionless in the face of this attack that was infinitely close to the Soul King's. He did not dodge or evade. He released all his survival instincts, explosive mode, and crazy dragon excitement. He took a step forward with his right foot and pulled back with his left hand, trying to block the Soul King's attack with his fist.

Under the cover of lightning, no one noticed that Gu You's left arm flashed red. In the deepest part of the golden vertical pupil, a dinosaur wearing white bone armor and wrapped in flames roared angrily.

"Fist of Doom!" With a beast-like roar, Gu You threw a punch. The punch was so fast that the action of the punch could not even be reflected in the irises of the onlookers.

The image their brains received was that Luo Chen was still smashing towards Gu You with great momentum in the previous moment, and the next moment the hammer shadow was shattered, the heavy hammer made of fine steel was full of cracks, and the whole person flew backwards.

"What?!" Except for Tang San and others who knew Gu You's strength and absolutely trusted him not to do anything without confidence, everyone including Su Yuntao couldn't believe what they saw. Their eyes followed Luo Chen's flying backwards, and the sound of his voice hitting the ground was almost the same as hitting their hearts.

How is this possible? The Soul King's attack was actually broken by a mere Soul Master's punch. Even the powerful Haotian Twins in the past could never do such a thing.

Among the crowd, only Tang San and Ranta, who had their Purple Demon Pupils open, saw the moment of the collision. Xiao Wu, who had outstanding dynamic vision, did not notice it either. She only felt that a terrifying threat flashed by.

But Ranta could only see a flash of red light, while Tang San, whose Purple Demon Eye had evolved, could clearly notice that when Gu You swung his fist, flames wrapped around his left arm, spraying backwards through the gaps in the exoskeleton, and his fist seemed to turn into the sun in an instant, emitting brilliant light.

Just like the glacier dinosaur, which apparently strengthened Guyou's endurance, but whose real gift was the super adaptability that allowed it to survive the entire ice age. The Transcendence Dragon, Meteorite Ozorosaurus, strengthened Guyou's strength on the surface, but in fact, it strengthened Guyou's maximum output.

The two ten-thousand-year-old artificial soul bones were much stronger than Gu You had imagined. Coupled with the offensiveness and aggression of the meteorite dragon, the power of this attack exceeded the scope of ordinary soul kings, and was close to the heterochromatic eyed resentful poisonous dragon when it fought Qin Ming.

In a normal battle, Gu You could only feel the power enhanced by the Meteorite Ozor Dragon. But in this head-on battle, the increased power limit gave Gu You the capital to fight against the enemy head-on.

He only used the power of the soul bone at the moment of punching, and released it after the punch. In this short period of time, white smoke came out of Gu You's left arm. The edge of the exoskeleton looked like red-hot metal, emitting a tiny but bright red light.

Under the cover of lightning, this red light is not conspicuous and it is impossible to detect it without paying special attention.

"Tsk, are you still trying too hard?" Gu You frowned as he felt the wail coming from the muscles of his left arm, as if the pain was about to be completely torn apart in the next second.

It was too much of a stretch to use the physical fitness of a Soul Lord to cross two major classes and launch an attack that could be called the top level of a Soul King. If it weren't for the strong physical fitness of the Ultimate Conductive Terrorbeast and the strengthening of the left arm bone, an ordinary Soul Lord would have exploded his left arm into pieces after using this move without a punch.

Feeling the tingling sensation coming from the severe pain in his left arm, Gu You, who knew that his self-healing ability was working, remained calm. With a little pride in his eyes, he turned to look at Zhu Feng who was stunned at the side and said, "Master Zhu Feng, this should be enough to prove my strength."

Zhu Feng came back to his senses, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent and just nodded faintly.

Whether it was because Luo Chen was the strong attacking spirit master that Gu You liked to face the most, or because Luo Chen had not rested well during this period in order to deal with the problem of the fallen, but Gu You was full of energy.

No matter how many excuses there are, it can't change the established fact that Gu You can defeat the Soul King head-on and use the Soul King's strongest attack method.

Facts speak louder than words and Zhu Feng cannot afford to refute them.

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being the super genius praised by Matthew No. " Luo Chen struggled to stand up from the ground, took off his helmet, with joy on his face.

"Brother Gu You, welcome to join us."

Sorry, I'm late. It's easy for the protagonist to beat ordinary soul masters, but it's still hard to beat soul kings without soul bone abilities. I've come into contact with a sheep, it's a dead end, please don't get caught.

Chapter 240: Some Brains, But Not Much

click, click

The leaves on the trees had long since fallen, leaving only bare branches swaying in the wind. Under the mottled shadows of the trees, a man walked through the forest, leaving deep footprints in the snow.

After one night, the snowstorm had become much smaller. Although the sunlight failed to penetrate the clouds, it slightly turned the sky into a bright gray.

The strong wind blew the man's hood, revealing his pale face. His lips were tightly pursed, dry and without a trace of blood. His limbs moved like machines, and he walked straight forward.

After an unknown amount of time, the man finally walked out of the forest, stood on a small hill, and looked out at the village in the distance.

The village was quiet. Perhaps it was because the snowstorm a while ago was too severe. Even though the weather had improved, no one was outside. If it weren't for the flickering candlelight coming through the windows and the signs that the snow on the main road of the village had been cleared, anyone would think that there were no living people in the village.

The man raised his mouth in a cold arc. The wide sleeve on his right side trembled unnaturally, as if something strange was hidden inside.

He stretched out his left hand to cover his right arm, "Good boy, calm down." He licked his dry and cracked lips, "Soon, there will be food."

“Don’t be unhappy.” Facing the restless right arm, the man showed extraordinary patience and slowly soothed it: “It may taste bad, but at least it can fill your stomach. When you grow up, we can eat better food.”

The man licked his lips again, his Adam's apple moving slightly, "Trust me, the taste won't disappoint you."

The abnormality in his right arm gradually subsided. He gently covered his chest with his hand, looked at the peaceful and harmonious village, and quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the village.

Passing through the unguarded gate, the man could no longer restrain his restless right hand. He stretched his right arm out and aimed at one of the houses. His sleeve was instantly torn apart, and surging blood-red vines shot out from the depths of his sleeve like a poisonous snake locking onto its prey, piercing through the outer wall of the house.

The long-awaited scream did not sound as expected. There was no pleasant cry, which made the man who closed his eyes and prepared to enjoy this moment open his eyes in confusion.

What the man saw was an empty room. The blood-red vines did not tie up anyone and were running around like headless flies. Their failure to catch any "prey" made them frantic and they could only tie up the wooden tables and chairs and then crush them.

The man was shocked and said, "What?" He swept his arm and the vines collapsed the outer walls of several houses. There was no one inside, and even the table was filled with cold food, as if the family had been preparing to have a happy dinner, but something happened and they left in a hurry without even packing up.

"Where are the people? Where are my people?!"

"They are human beings, but not yours." A low and hoarse voice sounded, hiding the fatigue that could not be concealed. "Why did you do this? I never taught you these things."

"Chang Wei."

Hearing this familiar voice, the man whose real name was called out first showed an unconcealable surprise on his face, then revealed a cold smile, which slowly turned into a loud laugh.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha" the man covered his face and laughed wildly. While laughing, he lifted the hood on his head, revealing a face that was extremely handsome, comparable to the top girl in a gigolo parlor.

But this face was as pale as if it had not seen the sun for 800 years. The corpse-like skin completely ruined this handsome face, and the purple blood vessels under the skin seemed to be twisting.

"Old man, I didn't expect you to be so capable." His vicious eyes scanned around, trying to find out where the voice came from.

But the whistling wind between the houses blew the voice into pieces. After searching for a few rounds without seeing anyone, the man named Chang Wei stopped looking, "Hehehe, what's wrong? Are you running away? Are you afraid to come out and face me, your once dearest disciple?"

"Zhu Feng!"

"Of course not." Zhu Feng slowly walked out of the shadows, holding a spear about the height of a person. The spear head was diamond-shaped, with a green pattern on the silver-white tip, which was clearly visible even in the white snow.

The spear tassel was as wild as a lion's mane, as if a lion's head was biting the tip of the spear. The spear shaft was as red as blood, and four soul rings, one white, one yellow and two purple, were wrapped around the spear shaft, emitting a faint glow.

Looking at the current appearance of his disciple who once made him proud, Zhu Feng's eyes, despite his determination, could not help but carry a hint of sadness and regret.

"Hahaha," Chang Wei showed a crazy and distorted expression on his face as he looked at Zhu Feng who appeared in front of him, "Old man, I haven't seen you for a year. Your brain has become much better. You actually guessed that I would come here."

Chang Wei looked at the other houses with their doors tightly shut and smiled grimly, "Where are my lovely colleagues? I really want to kill them."

"Your colleagues are not here." Pushing open the door, Gu You leaned against it and looked at the man named Chang Wei. "I don't think you miss them that much, and they don't want to see you that much either."

"Isn't it good to leave the best memories in each other's hearts?"

Looking at Chang Wei, whose skin was as pale as a vampire and whose expression was as crazy as a psychopath, Gu You complained, "Brother, how long have you not been in the sun? I soaked in water for three days but couldn't get as white as you."

Seeing the stranger, Chang Wei's expression instantly returned to normal. At this moment, he was like an aristocrat who had just come out of a ball. Except for his disheveled clothes, his demeanor and etiquette were impeccable.

"Who are you? Are you the old man's new disciple?" Chang Wei straightened his hair that was messed up by the wind and raised his head proudly. He wanted to show his disdain for Gu You through this action, but he found that Gu You's height was far beyond his imagination. Raising his head instead made it seem like he had to lift his head to look at Gu You.

"Me?" This guy named Chang Wei was quite polite and knew to ask for names. He was different from the two Fallen Ones Gu You had met before.

It's a pity that Gu You didn't intend to be polite when facing the Fallen. He put one hand on his chest, bowed slightly with a smile on his face, and answered in the same noble tone of self-introduction: "I'm sorry, I'm rude. I'm your father, your last name is Dad, you can just call me Dad."

Chang Wei's expression became visibly gloomy, and he threw his aristocratic manners out of the window, looking at Gu You with a sinister expression.

Zhu Feng, who had his back to Gu You, almost laughed out loud. In his entire life, he had never seen a person as shameless as Gu You. He could actually say such words on a serious battlefield.

But... "Well done." Zhu Feng, who was also very experienced in combat, looked at Chang Wei's gloomy face and praised Gu You in his heart. He knew that a stable mentality could better exert all his strength. Gu You's words could make the seemingly normal Chang Wei angry, and he would definitely lose his composure during the battle.

"Little ghost, didn't the old man teach you to respect your senior brothers?"

In half a year, the childishness on Gu You's face almost completely disappeared, and it was transformed into a resolute and strong face. Coupled with his strong body, no one would know that he was only thirteen years old.

But the sound of his voice before he even reached puberty would reveal his true age. As long as Gu You started talking and his hearing was fine, everyone would know he was just a child.

There was an obvious murderous intent in Chang Wei's voice, and his words were filled with the smell of blood, mixed with the murderous aura that was overwhelming him, wanting to completely destroy Gu You's sanity and will.

It's a pity that compared with Gu Rong, this momentum is still too immature. Not to mention that Gu You has now fought with two transcendent dragons countless times in the spiritual world. This little bit of killing intent is just a drop in the bucket.

Chang Wei's murderous intent brushed across Gu You's face like a breeze, and it had no effect except making Gu You suddenly think in his heart, "The wind was a bit cold just now, there won't be another snowstorm soon, will it?"

"It's none of your business. Whether I taught him or not..." Gu You glanced at Chang Wei, then narrowed his eyes slightly, with a strange arc at the corner of his mouth, "...but I didn't respect the guy who became a Fallen. You look a bit malnourished now. You won't have no money to eat after becoming a Fallen, will you?"

Gu You took out a copper soul coin from the soul guide, flicked his thumb hard, and sent the soul coin flying accurately in front of Chang Wei.

"Go buy some meat to replenish your body. You look so pale that I suspect you are a living corpse."

The effect was outstanding. Gu Youji's mocking expression and verbal attack made veins pop up on Chang Wei's forehead. He laughed in anger, "You sharp-tongued little devil, I hope you can still say these words after I tear your mouth off later."

Then he stopped paying attention to Gu You and turned to look at his teacher, "Old man, how did you know I would come here?"

Before Zhu Feng could speak, Gu You interrupted and said, "Ah, I was the one who discovered that you chose this place."

"You're smart," Gu You clapped his hands in praise. "You knew to take action after the patrol. If one of the patrol deacons hadn't changed the patrol route on a whim, it would have taken another month to discover that a village had been attacked by you."

"But it's still too obvious." Gu You spread his hands. "Except for the villages within the city of Nori, which have almost no communication with the outside world, the villages around other cities are all obvious and easy to find. The difference is too obvious."

"And the frequency hasn't changed. At first, they selected villages in Nori City one after another. After being discovered, they went to villages in every city. It seems like a random selection, but in fact, there is a pattern to follow."

I didn't expect that among the fallen, there would be a character who could use his brain. Whether he was good at it or not is another matter, but in a world where circling back and burning food and grass is considered a brilliant strategy, this guy actually thought of guerrilla warfare. It feels like the level of Douluo Continent has instantly evolved from apes to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

"Age of Empires 5: World of Douluo", right?

"On a whim... It must be Lin Zhuo." Chang Wei didn't care about Gu You's ironic retort, "I knew that guy would ruin my plans sooner or later."

"But, whatever." Chang Wei seemed to have regained his composure at this time. He ignored Gu You and focused his eyes on Zhu Feng.

She raised the corner of her mouth elegantly, "I originally wanted to take the initiative to find you later, although it doesn't match the time I planned, but since you took the initiative to come, I will still do it reluctantly..."

"…turn you into my nourishment."

An unnatural flush appeared on Chang Wei's face, and his pupils trembled slightly, as if he thought of some wonderful scene. His tongue stuck out like a snake's tongue, licking from the tip of his nose to his chin.

After being taken back, the blood-red vine that had been calmly wrapped around the right arm began to move restlessly, moving along the bony arm and hanging down to the ground along the fingertips, like a poisonous snake discovering its prey, and crawling towards the two people.

"Call out Luo Chen with the shining helmet. You can't come alone to face me, who has surpassed you and become a strong man!"

Two yellow, two purple and one black, five soul rings with the best ratio for most people surrounded Chang Wei's right arm. He grinned and shouted: "Witness my power, then fear, then worship, and become a part of me!"

"Don't be impatient," seeing the five spirit rings around Chang Wei, Gu You smiled frivolously, "Why don't you call your friends out?"

Chang Wei, whose martial soul is Ghost Vine, is extremely talented. At the age of 41, his soul power is as high as level 41. He was considered by the former Zhu Feng as his most outstanding disciple.

To be able to become a disciple of the master of the Spirit Hall, his background must be clean.

But how did such people become degenerates?

After looking through the investigation files of all the destroyed villages and based on various clues, Gu You found out that the murderer was Zhu Feng's former disciple Chang Wei.

But before Chang Wei disappeared, he was just a Soul Sect leader, and his martial soul was an ordinary plant-type martial soul, the Ghost Vine. In just half a year, his cultivation level quickly increased to Soul King, and he reached level ten in half a year. This is probably why he ate the fairy grass.

In addition to the soul power being increased by at least ten levels, the martial soul has also evolved (evilized) into its current blood-red appearance. In half a year, an ordinary person may not be able to accomplish even one of the above two things in their entire life.
