"No wonder Bone Grandfather and the old monster suddenly changed course!"
Xu Yang realized. On Douluo Continent, apart from a very few individuals or situations, people with little strength rarely meddle in others' affairs, especially in battles between Soul Masters. Intervening could easily offend both sides and cause trouble.
But there was one exception: encountering Evil Soul Masters, now called the Fallen. They must be killed on sight. This was something all Soul Masters agreed on.
Originally, Gu Rong and Dugu Bo weren't the type to meddle in other people's business, especially Dugu Bo, who wouldn't bother to act unless provoked. Now, they had suddenly agreed to change course, probably because they had sensed the Fallen's aura and wanted to completely eliminate the Fallen in the village ahead.
As they got closer to the village, the bloody smell in the air became stronger. Scattered corpses began to appear on the road and in the fields, but strangely, they were all dried corpses, without a trace of blood.
"Why don't Bone Grandfather and the others directly kill the Evil Soul Masters and save the remaining people in the village, instead of driving so slowly?"
"Could it be..."
Xu Yang's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the approaching village. An idea suddenly popped into his head—the entire village was already dead. Only this reason could explain the two Titled Douluos' inaction.
As Xu Yang expected, there were more and more corpses in the village, devoid of life. Only in the largest house in the middle of the village was there a gathering of bloody light.
"Yang Er, leave these three Fallen to you and Yanzi!"
The carriage stopped, and Xu Yang heard Gu Rong's voice. He nodded, jumped off the carriage, and looked at the room in the middle of the village with a solemn expression. After so many years on Douluo Continent, he had killed Soul Beasts and injured Soul Masters, but this was definitely the first time he had killed a human.
Seeing the hellish scene in the village, he thought he was prepared, but after getting off the carriage, he still felt hesitant and a little stage fright.
I thought my mentality had already changed, but I didn't expect problems to arise when I actually encountered something.
Xu Yang smiled wryly.
Dugu Yan also came to Xu Yang's side, fully activating her Spirit and preparing for battle.
...
"Big brother, it seems like someone's coming!"
Inside the house, the three Evil Soul Masters who were frantically refining Qi and blood to increase their Soul Power suddenly opened their eyes. They had obviously heard the sound of the carriage moving. Piles of corpses surrounded them, and crimson blood formed a blood pool beneath them, constantly being absorbed by the three.
The youngest of the Evil Soul Masters revealed scarlet eyes, licked his lips, and showed an evil smile.
"We still need to be careful. They dared to come after seeing the state of the village, so the newcomers must have some strength!"
The oldest Evil Soul Master looked serious, but the disdain and madness in his eyes showed that he didn't take the newcomers seriously at all. He was only twenty-four years old, but he was already a level 58 Soul King. Even the geniuses of Spirit Hall couldn't reach this level of cultivation. He was confident that he could cultivate to become a Titled Douluo and stand at the peak of the continent.
"Let's go, let's go out and see who's so blind to dare cause trouble for us brothers?!"
He called out to his two brothers and walked out of the house with a bloody aura.
"Forget it, let's just fight first!"
Xu Yang barely adjusted his state. Looking at the three Evil Soul Masters with scarlet eyes walking out of the house, killing intent appeared in his eyes for the first time.
The three Evil Soul Masters wore black robes, making it impossible to see their faces clearly. But as they came out, the bloody smell in the air doubled. Xu Yang activated his Sun Golden Eyes and discovered that the black robes they wore were covered in dried blood, which showed how many people these three had killed.
"So, it's just two little brats!"
Looking at Xu Yang and Dugu Yan's young faces, the three sneered. Scarlet Soul Power began to spread like a storm, and the cold, evil aura it emitted was disgusting.
Ning Haiyan had already crawled into the carriage and, like Gu Rong and Dugu Bo, completely restrained his Soul Power within his body, quietly watching the battle and providing support for Xu Yang and Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan had already used her Soul Power to seal her nostrils, blocking the smell, but her pale face showed that she was still a little scared.
Because the three Evil Soul Masters in front of him looked really terrifying.
Faced with the trio's mockery, Xu Yang didn't say anything, nor did his emotions fluctuate much. He simply summoned his Sun Spirit, four Soul Rings of yellow, purple, black, and black floating and pulsing beneath his feet, the Sun Sacred Blade already in his hand.
"Rise!"
Xu Yang's mouth moved, and the Sun Spirit began to ascend. The second Soul Ring lit up, and the Spirit Split again, dividing into six, for a total of seven Suns suspended in the sky over a hundred meters high, then began to release light and heat without reservation.
The surrounding temperature began to rise continuously.
"It's actually a Ten Thousand Year Third Soul Ring. Second Brother, Third Brother, be careful, this kid is not simple!"
Without his eldest brother's reminder, the second and third brothers also realized the problem. Xu Yang's Soul Ring configuration was not the only issue; the attribute of his Spirit was also very restraining to them. The two of them chose Spirit Fusion, scarlet Soul Power constantly gathering, transforming into countless blood-colored bats that flew onto their bodies, merging into their bodies. Instantly, a pair of five-meter-long bat wings appeared, and their faces began to resemble pig faces, with a pair of long fangs appearing in their mouths.
A Soul Ring configuration of white, yellow, purple, and purple appeared, and scarlet, evil Soul Power turned into a storm, sweeping forward.
"So it's the Pig-faced Bat Spirit, no wonder they could become Evil Soul Masters."
Bat-type Spirits are basically inclined towards darkness and evil attributes. As long as a Soul Master with this type of Spirit has an improper mind, it is easy to embark on the path of an Evil Soul Master, and the three people in front of him obviously belonged to this type.
"Yanzi, just take care of yourself, leave the rest to me!"
Saying that, without waiting for Dugu Yan to answer, Xu Yang raised his foot and walked towards the three Evil Soul Masters, his body ignited with crimson-gold flames, which then condensed, Shaping into a crimson-gold armor worn on his body. His aura constantly increased, and his violent, domineering Soul Power began to rage, directly offsetting the Soul Power storm erupted by the three Evil Soul Masters opposite him.
"Kid, you're courting death!"
Seeing this, the eldest Evil Soul Master completely erupted with the Soul Power unique to a Soul King. The Pig-faced Bat Spirit instantly completed Spirit Fusion, and five Soul Rings of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black, the best configuration, appeared beneath his feet, an aura far exceeding the previous one crushing towards Xu Yang.
"Hoo!"
Xu Yang took a deep breath, constantly adjusting his mentality. This kind of Soul Power pressure was not a problem for him at all. As long as his mentality didn't go wrong, he could still fight. The Soul Power in his body circulated, directly pushing back the aura pressure of the eldest Evil Soul Master.
At the same time, Soul Power erupted beneath his feet, and his whole person shot out like a cannonball, rushing straight towards the three Evil Soul Masters opposite him.
