Chapter 483: Flying is strictly prohibited over the forest
The old man holding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is one of the original eight elders of the Holy Spirit Church, Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, and one of the few remaining Titled Douluo in the Holy Spirit Church.
His martial soul, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, is an extremely evil magical weapon. Other Ten Thousand Souls Banners developed based on it also have the sinister function of controlling vengeful spirits for one's own use.
Seeing the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo looking at her excitedly, Huo Qiuer appeared very calm. Although she did not know the other party, she could roughly guess his ability through Huo Yuhao's memory.
Obviously, it is an evil skill related to the power of the soul. Not only humans have souls, but soul beasts also have souls. Moreover, powerful beast souls seem to be easier to find.
Although it is also a massacre, slaughtering a town where most of the people are ordinary people may not be as effective as killing a small tribe of hundreds or thousands of years old soul beasts.
Wanhun Douluo had a look of surprise on his face, but his hands did not stop moving.
He held the Ten Thousand Souls Banner with his right hand, but did not move. He waved his left hand, and a larger black flag appeared out of thin air. It was as tall as a person, and the cold and gloomy aura was several times more sinister than the smaller one. Around this giant Ten Thousand Souls Banner, nine soul rings were beating.
Wanhun Douluo gently waved the small flag in his right hand, and accompanied by shrill screams, thousands of wronged souls swarmed out and gathered on the big flag.
At the beginning, the vengeful spirits all had human faces, but soon, the faces of the vengeful spirits turned into animal heads of various shapes. Unlike the sharp screams of human vengeful spirits, the cries of animal souls were mostly low roars.
The chill in Huo Qiuer's eyes grew deeper. Judging from the number, there seemed to be four-digit beast souls, including the souls of the previously dead red fire monkeys.
She was a careful observer and discovered a detail.
The power of the soul ring is also retained in the appearance of the beast soul. Different beast souls also appear in four colors: white, yellow, purple and black. Among them, yellow and purple beast souls are the most numerous, followed by black, and white is the least.
It seems that ordinary people are similar to weak ten-year soul beasts. Even if they are killed, they cannot provide considerable soul power. Even the Holy Spirit Church does not regard the ten-year soul beasts as its main target.
But the next moment, a scene happened that shocked Huo Qiuer greatly.
I saw that the resentful spirits in the small Ten Thousand Souls Flag seemed to be emptied. Ten Thousand Souls Douluo handed it to the Soul Douluo on the right, and then the big Ten Thousand Souls Flag in his left hand was unfolded in the wind, and the dark flag surface showed The appearance of countless dead souls.
Each soul was only as big as a fingernail, but they were all crowded together on the same flag. The crowds were ten thousand times more crowded than the most densely populated slums.
All the resentful spirits desperately squeeze the resentful spirits around them, fighting for an inch of space to settle down. Only the souls with the deepest resentment can have the largest space.
In the very center of the flag, there is a beast soul that is the largest in size. It is domineeringly occupying the space of other ghosts around it, and its several legs are waving in a fierce manner.
Just an ordinary beast soul would not shock Huo Qiu'er so much.But the color of the beast soul is clearly bright blood red, which is particularly eye-catching among the black flag and the sea of dead souls.
This is the soul of a hundred thousand year old soul beast!
Even with Huo Qiu'er's temperament, her heart couldn't help but tremble. She had lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for more than 10,000 years, dealing with fierce beasts all day long, and she knew the significance of a 100,000-year-old soul beast to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Faintly, she seemed to have guessed the Holy Spirit Church's real purpose behind collecting the power of beast souls.
The hellish scene on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner flashed by for only a moment, and then Ten Thousand Souls Douluo put away his martial soul and continued to look at Huo Qiuer excitedly.
"Golden Dragon Saint, it's actually the Golden Dragon Saint, hahahaha."
Huo Qiuer knew that the other party recognized her. After all, she had been a bit high-profile at the Soul Master Competition before.
"The Saint returns before the Holy Ceremony. It looks like the revival of our Holy Church is imminent. Hahahaha."
Wanhun Douluo murmured as he took a step forward, unable to hide the excitement in his tone.
Huo Qiuer held the golden dragon spear in front of her in a defensive posture, her expression full of alertness and indifference.
Wanhun Douluo gave her a very strange feeling, and she was sure that she could not resist Wanhun Douluo's huge Wanhun Banner.
Having the same ability to control souls, Alex is full of light, while Wanhun Douluo is extremely cold.
Should he use his original light and fire attributes to try to suppress the other party? After all, these two attributes can restrain evil soul masters.
Huo Qiuer felt that her chances of winning were slim, and besides, Wanhun Douluo was not alone. There were two other Soul Douluos beside him, and she was not sure about their specific abilities.
But Huo Qiu'er was not worried about her situation. First, the other party recognized her as the "Golden Dragon Saint" they mentioned. Second, this was not Mingdu, which was controlled by Xu Tianran, who cooperated with the Holy Spirit Church, but the Xingdou Great Forest.
Ten Thousand Souls Douluo's gaze shifted to the corpses of the evil soul masters killed by Huo Qiuer. Just now he was still angry about the death of his men, but now, his eyes were filled with intoxication.
"What a pure absorption of life force! This is the holy power that only the Holy Emperor and the Holy Maiden are qualified to control. You are indeed the Holy Maiden sent by heaven to lead my Holy Church to unify the world!"
In the face of his sighs, Huo Qiuer turned a deaf ear and always held the Golden Dragon Spear tightly, waiting for an opportunity, or waiting for the arrival of a special aura.
"Saint girl, follow me back to the sect and accept the guidance of the leader and the Saint Emperor."
Although Wanhun Douluo's tone was gentle and eager, the pressure from him became heavier with every step he took.
In a blink of an eye, he was less than ten meters away from Huo Qiuer. At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly sounded.
Wanhun Douluo frowned unhappily and looked at the troublemakers. It turned out to be those red fire monkeys. They were scattered behind Huo Qiuer, using all their strength to stand upright, and kept crying at Wanhun Douluo who was walking slowly towards them.
Those screams contained many complex emotions such as anger and fear. Although they were extremely frightened in their hearts, they still had to make the final shout for their dead companions.
Wanhun Douluo's face darkened, and he said coldly: "I will use you beasts as sacrifices for the Golden Dragon Saint to exert her holy power."
As he spoke, he opened his right hand, and the dark soul power condensed in his hand. With just a slight lift, he could take the lives of these red fire monkeys, which were no more than ten thousand years old, and then contribute their vitality to the Golden Dragon Saint.
At this moment, Huo Qiuer moved. She bent her knees and jumped hard, leaping to a height of more than ten meters in the air. But after jumping up, she did not fall down, but stepped on the flying board and flew towards the core area of the Xingdou Great Forest.
Wanhun Douluo immediately shouted: "We must guide the Golden Dragon Saint back to the Holy Church today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew into the air, and the two Soul Douluos followed behind him and chased Huo Qiuer closely.
The pressure from the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo dissipated, and the red fire monkeys collapsed on the ground one after another, looking at the corpses around them and crying in endless sorrow. The big red fire monkey cried while looking in the direction where Huo Qiu'er flew away.
It seemed that the adult was deliberately helping him to divert those humans away.
In the air, Huo Qiuer had already used her maximum speed, but the gap between her and the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo behind her was still narrowing rapidly.
Feiban was originally a flying soul guide that focused more on flexibility, and the opponent was a powerful Titled Douluo. She couldn't get rid of him even if she wanted to.
But Huo Qiuer had no intention of getting rid of them. She had already sensed the breath she was waiting for.
"Saintess, where are you going?" The voice of Wanhun Douluo became more and more excited and crazy. No matter what, he would bring the Golden Dragon Saintess to Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu today to brainwash her.
Nowadays, the Holy Spirit Cult is in great need of top experts. As long as the Golden Dragon Saint returns, in the next sacrament, the Holy Spirit Cult is fully confident to help her break through the Titled Douluo level in one fell swoop!
By then, they will welcome the return of the Fire Phoenix Saint. With two great saints, the Holy Spirit Church will be able to rule the continent in no time.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Wanhun Douluo sped up again, and in the blink of an eye, the distance between him and Huo Qiuer was less than fifteen meters.
"Elder, I'm here to help you."
The Soul Douluo on the left hand side of Wanhun Douluo roared, and the fourth soul ring behind him flickered, and a faint purple light enveloped Huo Qiuer.
Huo Qiuer's expression changed slightly. She could clearly feel a sense of stiffness spreading throughout her body. The speed of her soul power circulation dropped by 20%.
Wanhun Douluo stretched out his right hand, and strong suction burst out from his palm, trying to pull Huo Qiuer back through the air.
A huge pulling force came from her back, and Huo Qiu'er's speed dropped sharply. She turned around and saw that the distance between her and Wanhun Douluo was only seven or eight meters. It seemed that in the next second, Wanhun Douluo would capture her.
But at this time Huo Qiuer smiled.
She asked Wanhun Douluo, "Do you know why flying over the Star Forest is strictly prohibited?"
This is a lesson learned by countless soul masters with their blood. When traveling in an area where soul beasts gather, it is best not to fly, as this will make you the target of many powerful soul beasts.
But now Wanhun Douluo had already forgotten this point. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to capture Huo Qiuer today.
So what if he became the target of the soul beasts? With his current Titled Douluo cultivation and evil skills, could he still be afraid of the soul beasts in the mixed zone?
But in the next second, a fear of death flashed through Wanhun Douluo's heart.
His face changed drastically and he suddenly shifted his gaze to somewhere in the woods below.
The next moment, all the trees in that area disappeared, leaving only a large pit. As the pit appeared, a red afterimage shot up into the sky, aiming directly at the Ten Thousand Soul Douluo and the two Soul Douluos in the air.
The scarlet afterimage opened its bloody mouth wide enough to swallow Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, and its scarlet-gold canine teeth wanted to cut Ten Thousand Souls Douluo into countless pieces.
There was not one bloody mouth, but three, just enough for one bite per person.
The scorching heat emanated from the crimson afterimage, but Wanhun Douluo was ice-cold all over.
The author is taking the exam on Monday, and has to review the question bank these two days, so I’m sorry for being late…
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 484: Angry Stars
The owner of the three bloody mouths is the same soul beast, the three-headed red devil mastiff, the Red King, which ranks eighth among the ten most ferocious beasts on the continent.
It was patrolling in the mixed area. After sensing Huo Qiuer's breath, it immediately rushed over at its maximum speed and bit the three Wanhun Douluo who were following Huo Qiuer.
"Red King!" Wanhun Douluo was horrified and instantly recognized the attacking beast.
The Red King is notorious, and its three iconic ferocious heads are very recognizable.
The ferocious beast has cultivated for more than 300,000 years, and its strength has surpassed that of human Super Douluo. Wanhun Douluo can clearly see that in the throat of the Scarlet King, there is a cluster of dark red light, which is accumulating wild and domineering energy.
He did not dare to be careless. His martial soul, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, suddenly appeared in front of him, and countless vengeful spirits flew towards the Scarlet King with fierce roars.
The Red King has lived a long life, but he has never seen such a strange way of attack. Without changing his moves, he roared and shot out three dark red beams that were as powerful as ninth-level soul guide rays.
The strength of Wanhun Douluo itself is not outstanding among the Title Douluo, especially in terms of physical strength and attack and defense speed. This is also a common problem of evil soul masters who use continuous killing as a means of increasing their cultivation in the later stages.
However, evil spirit masters still have an advantage in the later period, that is, their cultivation still has a very high upper limit. Killing ordinary people and low-level spirit masters will not bring much profit, but as long as there are enough powerful souls, they can still maintain a considerable speed of progress.
The power of Wanhun Douluo mainly depends on the number and strength of the vengeful spirits he controls. Now, he has harvested a group of powerful beast souls in the Xingdou Great Forest, including a hundred thousand year old soul beast, which undoubtedly greatly increases his strength.
The rampage of Ten Thousand Souls greatly reduced the power of the Scarlet King's breath. Ten Thousand Souls Douluo dodged in panic.
The Red King's breath burned countless vengeful spirits, causing endless wails to rise above the forest.
But the Scarlet King's attack had not stopped. Its blade-like fangs had already reached his eyes. Once they closed, they could easily tear the body of Ten Thousand Souls Douluo into pieces.
Energy attacks are not its strong point, its strong body is.
Wanhun Douluo's face was extremely distorted. How could he be a match for Scarlet King in a head-on battle? Was today the day he would die?
But Ten Thousand Souls Douluo still had a trick up his sleeve. The sixth soul ring on his Ten Thousand Souls Banner glowed with black light, and a huge suction force was generated from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. This was one of his favorite soul skills, soul traction.
But he didn't want to pull the Red King, that would be courting death. He wanted to pull the two Soul Douluos beside him.
The two Soul Douluo evil soul masters were about to flee separately, but their bodies froze under the sudden suction, and then a powerful repulsive force was generated, causing the body of Ten Thousand Soul Douluo to retreat a full hundred meters in an instant.
The hundred-meter interval seemed safe, but the Scarlet King could still easily catch up at full speed. However, now, Wanhun Douluo had found two scapegoats for himself.
The huge mouth in the middle that should have crushed Ten Thousand Soul Douluo suddenly closed and swallowed the two Soul Douluos. Then the other two big mouths followed and tore into the bodies of the two.
The sky above the Star Dou Great Forest was filled with flying flesh and blood, and broken limbs and bones kept falling. Within half a minute, the two Soul Douluos didn't even have the strength to resist, and they became food for the Scarlet King.
Along with the minced meat, a small flag also fell to the ground. Huo Qiuer was quick-witted and quickly picked up the small flag after it landed.
After wolfing down the food, the big head in the middle of the Red King licked the blood at the corner of his mouth and looked towards the direction where Wanhun Douluo disappeared, but there was no trace of him anymore.
Wanhun Douluo vividly illustrates what it means to encounter a ferocious beast: you don’t need to run faster than the beast, you just need to run faster than your companions.
