The western border of the Xingluo Empire.
The night was dark, the stars and the moon were dim, and the cold wind was howling. A beam of ochre light streaked across the sky, leaving behind a brilliant tail flame like a bright meteor.
The khaki light enlarged, like a large umbrella that suddenly opened, with a diameter of tens of meters. The light slowly converged and dispersed, revealing green figures.
"yue∽"
The sounds of vomiting came one after another, and the green figure staggered back and forth, holding onto the tree trunk and vomiting violently. Old Xuan looked at the rainbow-colored object on the ground, then looked at the chicken leg in his hand, and suddenly lost the desire to eat.
Time was short and the mission was heavy. This section of the journey was led by Master Xuan. The speed of a Titled Douluo at level 98 was so fast that they reached the western border of the Xing Luo Empire within a day. This also caused a huge physical burden on the two generations of Shrek's Seven Devils. The inner courtyard disciples were slightly stronger, with at most a pale face, while the outer courtyard disciples vomited all over the place, almost vomiting out all their lunch.
"People from the Western Army are here." Elder Xuan looked up and muttered, "Xiao Wang, the academy has already informed the Xing Luo military in advance. I'll leave the matter to you. I won't show up."
"Yes, Master Xuan."
Xuan Lao's movements disappeared in a stream of light. About a quarter of an hour later, a team of warriors in black armor descended from the sky in the distance. On their chests was a majestic tiger head that flashed with a faint white light, and their yellow and purple soul rings shone brightly. Each of them was a perfectly matched four-ring soul master.
"They are the White Tiger Guards under my father's command."
Dai Yuheng took the initiative to step forward and communicate with the leader. When the White Tiger Guards saw the young master, they knew that it was Shrek Academy that came, and their expressions relaxed a lot.
"Brother Bai, they seem to trust Shrek very much." Ning Tian wiped her red lips with a handkerchief and whispered to Ling Bai.
Ling Bai had the strongest physical fitness and was the only student who showed no abnormalities after the rapid march. He smiled and said, "Shrek has a long-standing reputation and firmly stands on the position of the original three empires. The Shrek Supervisory Group is also a well-known crime nemesis.
Many thorny problems, such as the roaming of evil spirit masters, once the three empires deliberately throw them to Shrek Academy, they will take action without regard for their lives. Naturally, there is trust between them. "
After Dai Yaoheng finished the communication, the White Tiger Guards invited Shrek and his party to rest in the Western Military Region. The Duke of White Tiger personally received them and provided information about the evil soul master.
Everyone followed the White Tiger Guards and flew for less than an hour before they saw densely packed military camps. The Western Military District was built using local materials and along the mountains. A part of it was built on the Mingdou Mountains that border the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire.
With the help of Spider Emperor's induction, Ling Bai could clearly sense that the moment they approached the military airspace, the anti-aircraft defense soul guides below reacted violently, and at least a hundred and eighty soul guide cannons locked onto their heads. No wonder Old Xuan was unwilling to step into the military camp. Apart from his lazy personality and noble status, there was no way a generation of Taotie Douluo could tolerate a scene where he was locked in a headlock and unable to attack.
In the early morning, soldiers in the Western Military Region had already started training in an orderly manner. What kind of person leads what kind of soldiers. Duke Baihu is upright and strict in military discipline, and the army also has a majestic and iron-blooded military spirit.
At the central army camp, Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger came out with a head of wild golden hair flying in the air. He was nearly two meters tall. His long years of guarding the border had given him a body of bronze muscles. At first glance, he seemed to be only in his thirties, with a handsome and resolute face as if it had been carved by a knife.
"Dai Yuheng, your dad is quite handsome, he must be very popular among women!" Ma Xiaotao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Of course. My father is not only a well-known hero in the Xingluo Empire, but also the dream lover of countless women. However, he loves my mother deeply, and they will be together for the rest of their lives."
Dai Yaoheng held his chest high. No matter where he went, he was proud to be the son of White Tiger Duke Dai Hao.
"Not bad, not bad. In the future, I want to find a tall and strong man. A real man should be as cold and hard as iron, and stand tall and upright!"
"hiss--"
As soon as these words came out, Gong Yangmo took a breath of cold air, pulled Ling Bai Yao Haoxuan and said with a sad face:
"Xiao Tao's lethality is a bit wide, none of the three of us can do it, Haoxuan is shorter than my mother Ling Bai."
"Get out of here, male copper!"
"If you can't speak, you can shut up."
Yao Haoxuan is short and thin and looks like a dog. Ling Bai is extremely handsome due to the influence of the six-winged angel, the martial soul of the first and last generation gods, both of whom are female. After absorbing the soul bone of the Snow Emperor, he became more and more pure in beauty. The two of them pointed at Gong Yang Mo and cursed at the same time, like cats whose tails were stepped on.
Gong Yangmo ran to the side feeling aggrieved and pinched He Caitou's pectoral muscles for comfort.
Seeing this, Ning Tian felt a little relieved, her female intuition told her that the way Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao, two of the Seven Monsters of Ice and Fire, looked at Ling Bai abnormally, the former's eyes were slightly stronger, as if he was holding back something and was embarrassed to speak, while the latter's eyes were much more fiery in comparison.
Ma Xiaotao's appearance, figure, and martial arts talent are perfect. If Ning Tian, who is at a disadvantage in age and has not yet fully developed his figure, competes with her in a ring, he can't help but sweat profusely. When he heard that her preferred mate is White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, Ning Tian turned his head to look at Ling Bai.
Well, a typical pretty boy, not at all related to the Duke of White Tiger!
This wave is stable!
At the same time, Ma Xiaotao secretly glanced at a few people and let out a soft click of the tongue.
Dai Yaoheng trotted over to his father's ear to introduce his fellow travelers. Soon, Dai Hao strode over and said cheerfully, "On behalf of the Western Military Region of the Xingluo Empire, I welcome Teacher Wang Yan and all the elites of the academy. You have been tired from the journey, so I have prepared some banquets. We can eat and chat at the same time."
Dai Hao made a gesture to invite them in. The Shrek people entered the central army camp. Seeing Dai Hao's face, Huo Yuhao's nails dug into his palms without him noticing. He gritted his teeth and a sweet and fishy smell rose from his mouth. He roared in his heart: A lifetime of two people, then what is my mother!
Wang Dong wrapped Huo Yuhao's palms with both hands, silently soothing his heart.
The banquet was halfway through and both the guests and hosts were having a great time. Although the military camp could not produce expensive items, eating meat and drinking wine in big mouthfuls was a special experience. Wang Yan took the opportunity to ask about the evil soul master.
Dai Hao drank a full cup, slammed the bowl heavily on the table, and sighed, "This bandit group calls itself the Hand of Death. There are more than 300 people in total. There are no old, weak, sick or disabled people. They are all young and strong. The leader is a powerful evil soul master at the level of a five-ring soul king, the messenger of death.
The Hand of Death hides in the middle of the Mingdou Mountains, where the terrain is complex and steep. They specialize in intercepting and killing merchants traveling between the two countries. They burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of atrocities. They are cunning and cruel and leave no one alive.
As you know, the relationship between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire has always been tense, so His Majesty sent me to lead the most elite troops of Star Luo to be stationed in the Mingdou Mountains all year round to prevent the Sun-Moon Empire from raiding the border.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for the two countries to take joint action. Whenever one side sent out a large army to suppress the bandits, those bastards would run to the other side. Once, the messenger of death even caused a small-scale war, but he himself was still alive and well.
The Empire is helpless and can only seek help from the Shrek Supervisory Group. "
Ling Bai's mouth curled up slightly. This Duke of White Tiger was not an honest man. The mighty Xing Luo Empire was helpless against the Soul King and was forced to ask Shrek Academy for help. He was just fooling fools. The royal family's enshrinement of Titled Douluo was not for nothing.
However, evil soul masters usually practice strange secret techniques, some of which are extremely lethal killer moves. The Xingluo Empire was unwilling to take the risk and decisively put the blame on Shrek Academy.
When Shrek Academy heard this, they were like, what!
Evil spirit master!
Stand back, let me do it!
So a bunch of resentful people sat in the western central army camp.
"Thank you, Lord Duke, for your trust." Wang Yan said solemnly, "We must not be careless when dealing with evil soul masters. There are no good people among the targets of this mission. The academy has issued an order to annihilate them all without leaving a single one alive. Everyone must have the experience of killing an evil soul master, which means killing people!"
Killing, the outer courtyard disciples were very unfamiliar with these two words, killing soul beasts and killing people were two different things, and when they heard the word killing, their heartbeats began to speed up and their palms gradually became wet.
The expressions of the Seven Selected Monsters were calm. Ma Xiaotao and the other six had been admitted to the inner courtyard for many years, and were accustomed to carrying out supervisory tasks and killing evil spirit masters. Ling Bai was even more calm and composed. After all, his hands were once stained with the blood of Titled Douluo, and the Death Hell Spider Emperor's martial spirit gave him an extremely tough and indifferent heart.
After a day of traveling, everyone adjusted their physical condition to the best before setting off, and meditated on the spot to recover. Shrek and his party bid farewell to the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao and stepped into the Mingdou Mountains where the evil soul masters were hiding.
"Keep the formation, with the regular team in front and the reserve team behind. Yuhao, use your mental detection to open up the vision, and we will advance slowly." Wang Yan commanded.
"Teacher Wang, there's no need to go to such trouble." Ling Bai said, "As everyone knows, six-winged angels and evil are mortal enemies.
The six-winged angels are born with the ability to identify and track evil. I can sense that the evil aura is strongest in the east, and the Hand of Death is probably hiding there."
"Let's go to the East."
As soon as Ling Bai finished speaking, Ma Xiaotao waved her jade hand, and the other regular candidates followed suit. No one cared about the decision of Wang Yan, a mere soul king.
"Teacher Wang!"
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who were taught by Wang Yan personally, immediately spoke up for him. In their opinion, Teacher Wang Yan was knowledgeable and well-versed in theory, and should not be ignored by the regular team members.
"It's okay, follow me..."
Wang Yan showed a helpless smile, he understood his shortcomings. The inner courtyard disciples believed that fists were the only way to succeed. Ma Xiaotao defeated Dai Yueheng, who willingly gave up the position of captain of the Seven Monsters. Ling Bai beat up everyone one by one, and they trusted Ling Bai extremely.
Following Ling Bai's guidance, the group gradually discovered some subtle traces, broken branches, shallow footprints in the mud, rags on tree branches, and blood on the tips of thorns. Everything indicated that they were in the right direction and that the Hand of Death was just around the corner!
"We're here." Ling Bai pointed forward.
They saw a cave covered by vine curtains. There was no doubt that the Hand of Death and the Messenger of Death were hiding there.
"It's really convenient for the six-winged angels to find evil soul masters. Leave the rest to us!"
Ma Xiaotao's beautiful pink eyes seemed to have a wild flame suddenly rising and burning. She wanted to kill all the evil soul masters, and she couldn't wait to start a killing spree.
"Wait, where's Master Xuan?"
Yao Haoxuan raised his hand to ask a question, and said with a smile: "Won't he go in with us?"
"It doesn't look like that..." Dai Yuheng frowned.
"Brother Yueheng is an evil soul master, what if we get killed?"
The next second, a chicken bone fell from the sky and hit Yao Haoxuan on the head.
In the sky, Elder Xuan burped and said, "Each of the Shrek Seven Devils is an elite among the elites of the inner courtyard. If they can be killed by a little soul king, I will tear off their heads and place them on your grave as a tribute."
Ling Bai chuckled. It was hard to judge. After all, different trades are like different mountains. He walked in front of Ning Tian and whispered, "You will be the first to go. You must stay away from us. You have the seventh-level charged soul shield given by Dean Xian, so be ready to use it at any time."
"Uh-huh!"
Ning Tian kept nodding, her eyes curved like a crescent moon. Ling Bai's concern made her very happy.
"I'll lead the charge, Dai Yaoheng and Xixi will guard the flanks, Ling Luochen, Yao Haoxuan, and Gong Yangmo will be in the middle, and Ling Bai will be in charge of the rear."
Ma Xiaotao quickly arranged the formation, and the seven monsters sneaked into the cave. Five minutes later, Wang Yan called the reserve team to follow. He knew that the academy did not want the reserve team to participate in the killing, but hoped that they would witness the scene of killing evil soul masters in the supervision mission to accelerate their psychological growth. The main attackers were still the seven inner courtyard disciples.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."
Hundreds of human skins were hung on the walls on both sides of the cave, and a pierced baby corpse was hanging on a stalagmite. The sound of dripping blood kept echoing.
"Evil soul master...damn it!"
"Who is that…Ahhhh!"
Ling Bai, who was at the back, heard angry curses coming from the front, and his soul ring shone. Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix burst out with blazing flames and swept through the army, immediately clearing out a piece of open space where more than a dozen corpses were lying in a mess. The Hand of Death bandits rushed out frantically to join the battle.
However, this group of bandits with an average strength of the second ring was like an egg hitting a stone when facing the Shrek inner courtyard disciples. With the assistance of the ram, black rainbow and dragon, the seven regular monsters broke through to the sixth ring of combat power.
Phoenix Meteor Shower, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, Ice Prison... powerful soul skills were used one after another, and the bandits fell to the ground, with blood splattering everywhere.
A dozen bandits came out of the cave at the back. The angel's holy sword swung a sword light, and the bandits and their weapons were instantly shattered into dust, just like the rising sun sweeping away all the evil spirits in the darkness, demonstrating the six-winged angel's restraint over evil.
Suddenly, several ice sculptures appeared in front of Ling Bai, and the terrified expressions on the bandits' faces came to life.
This is Ling Luochen's masterpiece. Three question marks popped up on Ling Bai's head.
Ling Luochen said coldly: "I heard that the six-winged angel can improve its soul power by killing evil soul masters. I will freeze you and kill you."
You are such a nice person!
"Thank you."
Ling Bai smiled and thanked him, and the sacred sword energy shattered the ice sculpture into thousands of ice chips.
The six-winged angel's martial soul has the innate power of purifying evil. When killing evil soul masters/evil soul beasts, it absorbs part of the soul power and transforms it into itself. The members of the Hand of Death Evil Soul Division are too weak, and there will be no obvious improvement even if they are all killed. However, Ling Luochen has good intentions, and Ling Bai is unwilling to refuse his kindness.
"You dare to destroy my Hand of Death, you deserve to die!"
A figure jumped out from the depths of the cave, staring at the corpses on the ground with bloodshot eyes. Circles of soul rings rose up, and the fifth soul ring at the end of the arrangement shone brightly. The corpses on the ground grew larger and turned red at an alarming speed!
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A terrifying explosion sounded outside the cave, and the entire cave began to shake violently. A stream of clear wine came out of Xuan Lao's gourd, and his old eyes suddenly flashed with unprecedented panic and fear:
"This kind of explosion... No! It won't happen. It definitely won't happen!!!"
