On the way forward, all was well. Huo Yuhao hummed a little tune, looking incredibly carefree, almost as if he had a blade of grass in his mouth.
Because the twenty li wasn't a straight line, the road was somewhat winding. After rounding a bend, Huo Yuhao drove the carriage onto an extremely straight official road, over two thousand meters long. Every few meters along both sides of the road stood a large tree, dappled sunlight filtering through the treetops like rays of light piercing the earth.
Strangely, while there were usually many carriages traveling this road, not a single one was seen today.
But Huo Yuhao, seemingly calm, had already used his spiritual detection to cover everything.
"Nineteen people, ha, two Title Douluos, they really think highly of me." Gazing at the air distorted by the scorching sun, Huo Yuhao's thoughts had already spread across the area around the official road.
Within the grove of trees outside the official road, a group of people followed him, their figures completely concealed by black robes and masks, exuding a chilling aura—these were naturally the evil soul masters.
Suddenly, under the detection of their spiritual senses, several evil soul masters broke away from the group, rushing rapidly towards the end of the straight official road, seemingly intending to intercept Huo Yuhao there.
The remaining evil soul masters brought up the rear, running alongside the carriage.
They planned a pincer attack.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
In the forest, Ming Lei Douluo and You Ming Douluo looked at the young man before them with surprise.
Originally, the two elders had already decided that the two titled Douluos would directly attack the target, but this young man with black and white hair, Dai Huabin, had chosen a different method of attack: toying with the target
like a cat playing with a mouse before torturing and killing him.
"Third Elder, Fourth Elder, the hatred between me and Huo Yuhao can only be erased through extreme pain. I implore you both to agree."
"Furthermore, I believe that with you two in charge, Huo Yuhao will have no chance of escaping. We have already investigated the surrounding area; there is absolutely no possibility of any Shrek Academy experts protecting him."
Seeing the madness and killing intent in Dai Huabin's eyes, the two Title Douluos, Ming Lei and You Ming, were immediately troubled. However, remembering that Dai Huabin's teacher was the First Elder, they exchanged a glance and decided to give him face.
"Alright, you can command the four Evil Soul Saints and twelve Evil Soul Emperors as you see fit. But remember, once they approach within ten miles of Mingdu, we will take direct action to eliminate them."
No Evil Soul Douluos participated in this plan, as they had all been dispatched elsewhere.
"Huabin thanks you both, Elders. I will be grateful in the future," Dai Huabin sincerely thanked them.
The two elders waved their hands.
With the elders' signal, the remaining Evil Soul Masters collectively obeyed Dai Huabin's orders. What he needed to do was quite simple.
Two Evil Soul Saints and six Evil Soul Emperors followed Dai Huabin, guarding the end of the official road. The remaining number of Evil Soul Masters followed the carriage side by side, completely blocking their retreat.
"Clatter, clatter, clatter."
The sound of hooves hitting the ground was rhythmic, like small drumbeats, seemingly building to a climax. Yet, as the wheels rolled on the solid road, the sound was steady and powerful, ensuring the climax wouldn't abruptly end.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters…
"Whoa."
As the carriage was about to turn off the straight road, Huo Yuhao pulled on the reins, forcing the horses to stop.
The forest on either side was eerily quiet.
"Friends, won't you come out and greet us?" Holding the reins, Huo Yuhao smiled and called out to the surroundings.
His words instantly stunned the group of Evil Soul Masters, who were like venomous snakes about to unleash their fangs, including Dai Huabin.
Had they been exposed?
Suddenly, Dai Huabin realized something and wanted to punch himself. He had forgotten something: Huo Yuhao was a spirit-attribute Soul Master, naturally incredibly perceptive. Having followed him for so long, he was likely already detected.
"Wait for my command."
All the evil Soul Masters looked at Dai Huabin, who clenched his fists, and in a flash, leaped out of the forest, only twenty meters away from the carriage.
Huo Yuhao's gaze immediately locked onto Dai Huabin. Even with his mask and black robes, he probably wouldn't be recognized even by his own mother.
"Huo Yuhao." Looking at Huo Yuhao sitting leisurely in the carriage, Dai Huabin's voice became hoarse. Perhaps due to excitement, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes beneath the mask turned bloodshot.
The hatred in his tone was undeniable.
The green hat on his head, the slaps and scolding from his mother—Huo Yuhao was the source of everything.
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes. Dai Huabin seemed to have some mental issues; even if he hated him, it shouldn't be this bad.
It seemed this guy had paid a price for becoming an evil soul master.
"Dai Huabin," Huo Yuhao said softly.
Dai Huabin's breath hitched; he seemed surprised that Huo Yuhao had guessed his identity, but it didn't matter.
He gently removed his mask, revealing a fairly handsome face, but the black stripes on his face marred his good looks, as the stripes resembled living worms, still wriggling.
"It really is you. Did your family know you chose to become an evil soul master?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.
"Shut up." Hearing the word "home," Dai Huabin's expression twisted. His eyes, cold as ice, stared at Huo Yuhao like a venomous snake. "Huo Yuhao, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I regret not being able to kill you in Shrek City."
"Today, I'll see who can save you."
"Attack!"
With a low growl, five spirit rings rose beneath Dai Huabin's feet. The configuration was astonishing—three purple and two black, indicating a significant improvement during his time with the Holy Spirit Sect. A
crimson light flashed across Dai Huabin's body. Originally, after the White Tiger Martial Soul was attached to him, he should have exuded domineering aura, but now Dai Huabin appeared incredibly eerie.
He was still a White Tiger, but instead of black and white striped fur, his skin was covered with grimacing, pained human faces. They seemed trapped inside Dai Huabin's body, some crying, some laughing, some ferocious, some indifferent, unable to break free from their predicament.
As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of evil soul masters suddenly sprang out from the forest. Each of them possessed at least six soul rings, with two even having seven.
One of the evil soul emperors, wielding a bone staff, chanted an unknown soul skill incantation. Suddenly, a dark mass appeared beneath Huo Yuhao's feet, followed by numerous bone claws reaching out to pull him down.
With a "whoosh," a black and white light wave burst forth from Dai Huabin's mouth. Within that light wave, numerous ghostly faces could be vaguely seen, shrieking and greedily trying to devour Huo Yuhao.
The once-powerful White Tiger Blazing Light Wave has transformed into its current grotesque form.
Undoubtedly, its power has increased dramatically, even capable of inflicting secondary damage on the soul of those struck.
"Heh." Facing the onslaught of numerous evil soul masters, Huo Yuhao sneered. The bone claws on the ground had just grabbed his feet, and before they could pull away, Huo Yuhao simply infused his soul power into his legs and gave a jolt. The dark object instantly shattered, and his entire body was covered in a layer of cold, icy diamond particles.
Facing the soul skill of an evil soul king, Huo Yuhao simply threw a punch, directly confronting the mutated White Tiger Blazing Light Wave. With a thunderous boom, the light wave exploded on Huo Yuhao's fist, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and the intense soul power impact caused both horses to faint instantly. The carriage shattered, its fragments scattering in all directions.
The light wave dispersed, releasing a considerable amount of black mist that tried to entangle Huo Yuhao, but was frozen by an extreme cold, screaming in agony before being destroyed by the ice.
Easily deflecting two soul skills, Huo Yuhao lightly touched the ground with his toes and landed on the official road.
But as soon as he landed, another group of people rushed out from both sides of the forest behind him—two Soul Saints and six Soul Emperors.
Together with Dai Huabin's group, they quickly surrounded Huo Yuhao.
"Huo Yuhao, you can't escape," Dai Huabin said with a sinister smile.
"You know, villains usually die from talking too much," Huo Yuhao grinned. The next moment, a terrifying scene unfolded before him.
Under the watchful eyes of numerous evil soul masters, five soul rings rose from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet. When the crimson light fell upon everyone's faces, their breath seemed to stop, and the evil soul masters all felt a jolt in their hearts.
"A 100,000-year soul ring?"
"Impossible!" Dai Huabin was stunned, but quickly recovered and shouted, "Kill him! The 100,000-year soul ring is fake. This guy has some kind of simulated soul skill."
His words were like a wake-up call. Upon hearing Dai Huabin's words, the surprise in the evil soul masters' eyes vanished instantly. Damn it, it's fake! That scared the hell out of me!
The numerous evil soul masters unleashed their soul skills, and in an instant, a powerful pressure swept over them. Each evil soul master exuded a chilling aura, as if to devour your flesh and blood and annihilate your soul.
Perhaps for others, facing multiple opponents would be difficult, after all, two fists can't fight a crowd, but Huo Yuhao was different.
Facing the onslaught of evil soul masters, his blood-red soul ring flashed, and a shadow of an evil eye suddenly appeared behind him. The evil eye's pupil trembled, transforming into distorted light patterns that swept across a radius of a hundred meters.
One of the 100,000-year evil eye's soul skills: Mental Force Field!
The bodies of the charging evil soul masters also twisted.
Visibly, all the evil soul masters, including Dai Huabin, experienced a sudden and drastic drop in their aura.
Dizziness, sluggishness, fatigue, despondency, and weakness—a host of negative effects instantly overwhelmed them.
The mental force field, a natal soul skill of the Evil Eye clan, combined with Huo Yuhao's already terrifying mental power, was absolutely formidable.
Without prior precautions, absolute strength, or effective countermeasures, it was undoubtedly one of the strongest soul skills in a team battle.
With the suppression of the mental force field, the abilities of all the evil soul masters were drastically weakened.
Furthermore, because this soul skill came so suddenly, they had no time to react, causing their internal soul power to become disordered, resulting in their soul skills being abruptly cut short.
The feeling of being about to erupt, only to be forcibly stopped, was truly unbearable.
For a moment, the evil soul masters who felt the abnormality in their bodies all had one thought pop into their minds: "
Didn't you say this was a fake soul ring?"
A flash of killing intent crossed Huo Yuhao's eyes. He didn't know why the two Title Douluos hadn't come, but this carelessness had given him an opportunity.
In an instant, a verdant light emanated from his entire body, an extreme cold as if winter was approaching, the air instantly freezing into frost, biting to the bone.
Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Body Soul Bone Skill, Eternal Freeze Domain!
Centered on Huo Yuhao, the surrounding area began to freeze rapidly, the evil soul masters at the forefront instantly turning into blocks of ice, even their soul rings were frozen.
Huo Yuhao's palm flickered with a dark golden light, about to destroy these frozen evil soul masters.
"Boy, you dare!"
Suddenly, two angry voices rang out, terrifying soul power auras fiercely suppressing Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao grunted, but withstood the attack.
Crackling thunder echoed through the air, electric currents surged, forming a massive net of lightning that forcefully blocked the cold, allowing the remaining evil soul masters to escape.
Just then, a chilling sword light, hidden within the lightning net, swept outwards, heading straight for Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao's sharp eyes locked onto what was in front of him; he knew it was the hidden Evil Title Douluo who had made his move.
Perhaps for others, the sudden appearance of a chilling sword light would be fatal, but Huo Yuhao had the aid of his mental detection. He had already anticipated this hidden attack, even calculating its intensity. So, as the sword light approached, he preemptively released the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's first soul skill, Ice Emperor Protection. Thick ice crystals shimmered with a cold light, and with the aid of extreme ice, he even condensed layers of ice walls along the sword light's path.
Finally, he even activated his level seven soul power shield.
"Whoosh." A dark sword light flashed past, a terrifying, chilling aura sweeping across the scene. All the surrounding trees were severed, and wisps of eerie light still lingered on the severed objects, revealing a corrosive ability upon closer inspection.
The ice wall in front of Huo Yuhao had clearly served its purpose. Although it only blocked the attack for two seconds, its effect was evident. Finally, the sword light, through the shattered ice fragments, struck the pale yellow soul power shield covering his body. The shield shattered quickly under the sharp sword light, but the shattering of the shield did not mean the Ice Emperor's Protection could be broken.
A piercing scraping sound followed, and ice fragments scattered from Huo Yuhao's body, but they did not harm him. As for the corrosive poison, it was frozen solid before it could exert any power against the extreme ice.
To withstand an attack from a Title Douluo, a titled Douluo renowned for his powerful attacks, with the cultivation of a Soul King was truly remarkable.
Of course, the powerful impact still sent Huo Yuhao flying backward; after all, this was an attack from a Title Douluo.
However, the most unfortunate were the group of evil soul masters who surrounded Huo Yuhao from behind. After being frozen, they were struck by the Netherworld Douluo's slash and shattered into countless pieces.
"How could this be?" Seeing this, the Netherworld Douluo stood frozen in disbelief. He didn't care if his own men died; as long as he could kill his target, that was enough. But he never imagined that his level 93 cultivation would fail to kill a Soul King with a single sword strike. The
Netherworld Thunder Douluo beside him didn't look much better. Among the elders of the Holy Spirit Sect, besides the First Elder, the Fourth Elder had the strongest attack power.
"A good opportunity."
Suddenly, seeing Huo Yuhao being knocked away, Dai Huabin, protected by the Nether Thunder Douluo, instantly felt his blood surge. He let out a strange tiger's roar, accompanied by a dark soul light clinging to his body. The ghost face on his skin melted away, causing his aura to surge, making him resemble a humanoid ghost tiger, ferociously charging towards Huo Yuhao.
At this moment, he pushed his speed to the limit, and fortunately, the Nether Thunder Douluo had exempted him from the suppression of the mental force field, allowing him to recover considerably.
"Roar." Huo Yuhao was still flying backward in the air when the tiger's roar followed.
Looking at Huo Yuhao, who was so close, Dai Huabin's blood-red eyes were filled with excitement.
"Be careful!"
But suddenly, the Nether Thunder Douluo sensed something, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted, looking up at the sky.
The sharp tiger claws, radiating a chilling aura of blood, slammed down towards Huo Yuhao. Dai Huabin clearly hadn't heard the Netherworld Douluo's shout, but the next moment, when his eyes met Huo Yuhao's, he was momentarily stunned.
Huo Yuhao's face showed no fear or tension, only surprise.
Dai Huabin quickly understood why Huo Yuhao was surprised.
A dim light flashed, accompanied by a crisp sound of air being torn apart. An attack resembling a moon blade materialized from its intangible form, slashing towards Dai Huabin's head.
The aura of death approached, and Dai Huabin's pupils contracted. He reacted immediately, abandoning his attack on Huo Yuhao and instead crossing his arms to block. Simultaneously, he activated his fifth soul skill; the former White Tiger Demon God Transformation was gone. Black energy swirled around Dai Huabin, filled with a bloody aura.
When the moon blade struck Dai Huabin, the black energy seemed to automatically lock onto its target, stubbornly resisting the attack.
A powerful surge of soul energy swept outwards, sending Dai Huabin flying backwards. The controller of the moon blade attack was also revealed, and in a flash, Dai Huabin froze.
A stunningly beautiful, aloof figure appeared. Even though her slender, graceful body was concealed by dark purple clothing, it was still breathtaking and made one's mouth water.
"Zhu Lu?"
Huo Yuhao, having already regained his footing, looked at the person beside him with some surprise.
Yes, the one who attacked Dai Huabin was Zhu Lu.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's voice, a gentle smile slowly appeared on her usually cold and indifferent face. She turned and smiled, "Long time no see, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Huo Yuhao was clearly surprised by Zhu Lu's arrival, and a smile appeared on his face as well. However, upon noticing the five spirit rings on Zhu Lu's body, his eyes lit up. "You're a Spirit King too?"
"Yes." Zhu Lu smiled sweetly. "Thanks to you, I'm a Spirit King."
"Zhu Lu?"
On the other side, Dai Huabin also exclaimed in astonishment. But seeing Zhu Lu smiling and talking with Huo Yuhao, he was instantly enraged. Driven by anger, he leaped and charged towards Zhu Lu and Huo Yuhao.
His blood began to flow from his skin, and upon touching the Yin spirits, his body became thinner, but his momentum increased dramatically, especially his speed.
However, before Dai Huabin could reach them, a cold voice came from the sky, "Dare to hurt Yuhao, I'll kill you all."
A cloud of black mist flew over, enveloping Dai Huabin's body and taking him back to the evil spirit master's group.
"Clang!"
A phoenix cry rang out, and endless golden-red flames transformed into a colossal fire phoenix, almost obscuring the sky above the official road. As the phoenix spread its wings, the boundless flames spread like a tide, instantly transforming into enormous fire meteors that roared down towards the ground.
The temperature of the flames was clearly astonishing; space itself seemed to distort, and the air was incredibly scorching—a single breath could likely cause one's lungs to crack.
"Ultimate Fire!" Nether Thunder Douluo's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, "Get behind me!"
Even without his words, those Soul Saints and Soul Emperors who hadn't been frozen trembled at the sight of the flames that almost burned the sky, and hastily took cover.
As he spoke, Nether Thunder Douluo flung out his soul tool, and instantly, the net-like soul tool transformed, like a net, attempting to intercept the fire meteors.
"Boom!" The sky trembled as hundreds of fire meteors slammed heavily into Nether Thunder Douluo's natal soul tool, the Thunder God's Binding.
The terrifying phoenix flames greedily clung to it, trying to melt it, and even the counterattacks of the Nether Lightning had little effect.
Although not of the divine attribute, these flames were actually filled with a righteous aura, and had a certain degree of restraint against the sinister power of the Nether Lightning.
As expected, the lightning net quickly showed signs of melting. Seeing this, Nether Thunder Douluo felt a pang of heartache; the terror of the ultimate fire was indeed no exaggeration.
Even fire-attribute experts, also titled Douluo, couldn't melt this soul tool.
However, the Thunder God Binding Soul Tool still worked, blocking all the fire meteors, but the fire phoenix was clearly enraged.
Another phoenix cry rang out, and the flames, almost solidified, rose up. The next moment, a terrifying scene unfolded: the fire phoenix charged straight down, carrying billowing flames like a cannonball, incredibly chilling.
Nether Thunder Douluo and Netherworld Douluo were shocked by the fire phoenix's reckless fighting style. Just as they were about to counterattack, a deathly aura entered their hearts. An old man holding a wine gourd had appeared behind Huo Yuhao and Zhu Lu, his eyes fixed intently on them.
The two evil titled Douluo clearly knew who the old man was. In their panic, except for Dai Huabin, who was protected by the Netherworld Douluo and dodged with the two, the rest of the evil soul masters remained where they were.
"Boom!"
Stunned by the elder's escape, the remaining evil soul masters' legs went weak under the immense flames. When they finally reacted and frantically tried to flee, the fiery phoenix slammed heavily into the ground, unleashing terrifying waves of fire. The
rampaging phoenix fire devoured everything within its range; the evil soul masters instantly vaporized, leaving no trace
. "Damn it!" The Netherworld Douluo and the Netherworld Douluo, frightened by the old man, cursed under their breath. But if they hadn't dodged the fiery phoenix's attack, the old man with the wine gourd would have taken their lives.
Within the crater created by the impact, the fiery phoenix slowly disappeared, transforming back into human form.
With a leap, she burst out of the pit, her golden-red eyes meeting a pair of deep blue ones, and a captivating smile graced her rosy lips.
Watching the approaching figure, Huo Yuhao's expression shifted dramatically, from astonishment to joy in an instant.
"Sister,"
he called out, looking at the girl.
Yes, this fiery phoenix was none other than Ma Xiaotao.
She happily flew to Huo Yuhao and landed. Looking at him, who was already a head taller than her, her hardened heart softened instantly. The next moment, under the watchful eyes of Zhu Lu and Xuanzi, she nestled into Huo Yuhao's arms.
The warm, soft fragrance of her body against his skin, the delicate scent of a virgin, made Huo Yuhao's heart tremble slightly. His strong arms tightly encircled her slender waist.
"Ahem, we haven't finished our business yet. You two can go show off your love later," Xuanzi coughed.
Zhu Lu covered her mouth and smiled.
Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao scratched their heads awkwardly, quickly separating to face the distance.
Huo Yuhao now understood why Elder Xuan hadn't acted directly. Beside Nether Thunder Douluo, Netherworld Douluo, and the resentful Dai Huabin, a strange figure had appeared. This
person was handsome, even appearing quite young, yet his aura was no weaker than Xuanzi's.
Looking at him, Huo Yuhao immediately thought of someone:
Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect.
"Sect Leader…we…" Nether Thunder Douluo and Netherworld Douluo, initially somewhat tempted by the sect leader's appearance, immediately shut their mouths, recalling how their group had almost been wiped out, their minds already filled with thoughts of their punishment upon returning.
"Buzz."
Suddenly, a loud alarm sounded from Mingdu in the distance, and a large group of Soul Masters flew rapidly towards them, clearly noticing the battle outside Mingdu.
"Let's go." Zhongli Wu coldly met Xuanzi's gaze. Their spiritual energies collided instantly, and the point of impact shattered, revealing a dark alternate dimension like a broken mirror.
In the brief exchange, Xuanzi frowned, clearly at a disadvantage. Zhongli Wu looked at Huo Yuhao as if he were already dead, then released a burst of blood-red light. With a slight flicker, the group vanished.
"Sigh, in a contest of spiritual power, I still lost." Xuanzi sighed inwardly, watching Zhongli Wu and the others disappear.
"Elder Xuan, let's leave quickly, lest the people from the Sun Moon Empire arrive and find us." Huo Yuhao's eyesight was exceptional; he had already noticed the swarm of approaching Soul Masters.
"Mm." Xuanzi nodded, waving his hand. A gigantic hand-shaped shadow emerged from the earth, covering everyone before retreating back into the ground, silently disappearing.
