Douluo: Dragon King: Natural God King

Chapter 355: Deputy Palace Master? (4.4k) (asking for monthly votes!)

After leaving the Spirit Pagoda, Jing Shaoyu was in high spirits and extremely happy.

Now he has three soul bones in his hands, a Dark Evil Tyrant skull, a Starry Light left leg bone, and a Sky Wind Unicorn right leg bone, which are exactly the vacant parts. As long as he is willing, he can immediately have all the soul bones.

However, he was not in a hurry. The soul bones could be fused at any time. These three soul bones were not precious items that needed to be fused immediately.

That day, Xu Xiaoyan found Jing Shaoyu.

"Brother Xiaoyu, I'm ready. Shall we set off now?" Xu Xiaoyan excitedly ran to Jing Shaoyu and shouted.

"Okay, let's go!" Jing Shaoyu nodded.

The two of them left Shrek Academy and Shrek City together and drove towards the northern part of the continent.

They were not traveling, but were carrying out inspection duties of the Shrek Inspection Group.

The Shrek Supervisory Group is an institution with a long history. Its functions and responsibilities are simple, that is, to patrol the continent and eradicate evil. In simple terms, this is an institution established by Shrek Academy to deal with evil soul masters.

The Shrek Supervisory Group had already existed more than 10,000 years ago, which is even older than the Spirit Pagoda. It was usually headed by the Poseidon Pavilion Master or Deputy Master, with academy teachers and inner court disciples forming the main force of the organization.

However, except for the initial period after the establishment of the Supervisory Group, it failed to perform its duties well in the following years. One of the leaders even made a joke of the Holy Spirit Church's supreme elder, which made the Shrek Supervisory Group's presence even lower and its reputation not so good.

It was not until Tianjuan Douluo and Qingtian Douluo, master and apprentice, came to power and made drastic changes that the Shrek Supervisory Group became worthy of its name. In this era when evil soul masters are resurrecting, they continue to attack and eliminate evil.

As the successor of the Pavilion Master and the captain of the contemporary Shrek Seven Devils, Jing Shaoyu naturally cannot avoid joining the Supervisory Group and taking on the responsibility of going out on patrols to eliminate evil soul masters.

He is now heading to the north of the continent with Xu Xiaoyan, which is the mission of the Shrek Supervisory Group. Apart from the two of them, everyone else also has their own mission. Gu Yue and Lan Fuzi are heading to the south of the continent, Na'er and Wu Siduo are heading to the west of the continent, Ye Xinglan and Mo Hentian are heading to the east of the continent. It is very rare for all the Shrek Seven Devils to be dispatched.

"Hehe, that's great, this time I can have Brother Xiaoyu all to myself for a month!" In the car, Xu Xiaoyan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Jing Shaoyu with a silly smile and said in a sweet and naive tone.

"Okay, stop being so obsessed with love and let's see where our first stop is?" Jing Shaoyu asked with a helpless smile and shook his head.

This inspection mission was divided into groups of two, and they were grouped by drawing lots. Xu Xiaoyan was very lucky to be in a group with Jing Shaoyu, which made the little girl very proud. She showed off in front of others all day long, making the girls so angry that they left overnight, as they didn't want to see her hateful attitude of a villain who had succeeded.

When Xu Xiaoyan heard Jing Shaoyu's words, he immediately closed his mouth and nodded quickly: "Oh, okay, I'll take a look."

As she spoke, she took out the mission information, checked it, and quickly responded, "I see, Brother Xiaoyu, our first stop is Beifeng City. According to the intelligence, there is a suspected evil soul master in Beifeng City."

"Okay, let's go to Beifeng City." Jing Shaoyu replied after hearing this.

The sports car accelerated instantly and sped along the highway like a flash of lightning.

Beifeng City is an ordinary city in the northern part of the continent. It has average economic development, average soul master level, no outstanding resources, and even fewer outstanding people.

After Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan arrived at Beifeng City, they immediately launched an investigation based on the intelligence. According to the intelligence, the evil soul master in Beifeng City had a cultivation level no higher than Soul Saint, an unknown age, an unknown gender, and was suspected of having the ability to control corpses.

The two searched for three days before they found the evil soul master's base in the mountains outside Beifeng City.

"It should be here." Looking at the barren valley not far away, there was a faint smell of blood in the air. Jing Shaoyu said in a low voice with a cold face. He could feel an evil breath and a strong smell of death around him.

"Then shall we go in?" Xu Xiaoyan asked with a serious expression.

"No." Jing Shaoyu shook his head. "This is the opponent's territory. Let's lure him out!"

After he finished speaking, a soul guide launcher suddenly appeared in his hand, and he fired several soul missiles towards the depths of the valley. The soul missiles whizzed past and flew straight into the valley, then exploded, creating thick smoke and scattered dust.

Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan immediately retreated to a hill two kilometers away from the valley, and stood there, staring at the valley.

"It's coming out!" Jing Shaoyu perceived that a figure emitting evil and deathly aura was rapidly rushing out of the valley and smoke. He said in a deep voice, and the Final God-killing Spear appeared in his hand. Xu Xiaoyan behind him also immediately released his martial spirit, ready to take action at any time.

Less than three seconds after Jing Shaoyu finished speaking, their first mission on this trip appeared in front of them. It was a short old man wearing a yellow cloak. He looked ordinary, but his eyes were bloodshot, and he had two pairs of sharp fangs in his mouth. His exposed skin was covered with dark red scales.

There were six soul rings floating above his head, three purple and three black, and two lifeless zombies following behind him.

"Where did you two little devils come from? How dare you come here to die!" the old man roared viciously, his voice sharp and cold, but his body had already pounced towards Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan.

"Xiaoyan, take action!" Jing Shaoyu immediately stepped forward with a gun and said to Xu Xiaoyan at the same time.

Xu Xiaoyan raised the Star Staff without hesitation, and the first soul ring lit up. The gorgeous star wheel with a ribbon-like chain instantly appeared and locked the old man with great precision. The old man felt his whole body stiffen, his hands and feet could not move, and a look of fear and terror appeared in his eyes.

Seeing that the evil soul master was controlled by Xu Xiaoyan, Jing Shaoyu thrust the spear in his hand out in time and stabbed it steadily into the evil soul master's head. With a flash of red light, the evil soul master with the cultivation level of Soul Emperor died instantly. Flames burned on his body, and he turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Xiaoyu, this guy is so weak. How can there be such a weak evil soul master?" Xu Xiaoyan jumped clumsily to Jing Shaoyu and complained.

"This guy might have become a monk lately. He is already over fifty years old. It seems that he chose to take a different path because he had no hope of advancing. His martial spirit is actually a mutant corpse puppet. It's interesting." Jing Shaoyu analyzed, "If no one guides him, then he can be considered a talent in a sense."

There was a gleam in Jing Shaoyu's eyes.

"So, you suspect that there is another evil soul master behind this evil soul master?" Xu Xiaoyan looked thoughtful and puzzled, "Is this possible?" "Very likely!" Jing Shaoyu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Let's go to this guy's lair and take a look. Maybe we can find some useful clues!"

Soon, the two arrived at the valley. Apart from the corpse, there was only a small wooden house in the valley. They did not find anything useful in the wooden house. Only then did they confirm that the evil soul master was really a lone wolf.

This is considered a good thing, at least it shows that the evil soul master organization has not yet extended its tentacles to the northern part of the continent.

Before leaving, Jing Shaoyu cremated the bodies of the victims in the valley together with the evil soul master's hut. He then used his ability to make green grass grow in the barren valley, which could be regarded as a kind of comfort to life.

The two continued their journey, heading north from Beifeng City to the next location mentioned in the intelligence.

Half a month later, snowy mountains.

Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan encountered the most powerful enemy in this mission, a Soul Douluo-level evil soul master and three Soul Saint-level evil soul masters. Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan spent a lot of effort to solve them, but just when they were about to leave, they were very unlucky to encounter a Title Douluo-level evil soul master.

The evil soul master who called himself Ghost Douluo looked at Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan with great anger and roared: "Damn it, you actually dared to kill my people, I will make you live a life worse than death!"

He raised his martial spirit, the Ghost God Banner, and the soul ring behind him flickered. In an instant, countless wronged souls rushed out of the Ghost God Banner, all of them with ferocious faces, rushing towards Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan. The wailing sounds were piercing and made people frown.

Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan responded immediately. Jing Shaoyu raised the Star Staff, and holy light burst out from the head of the staff, illuminating the entire sky. The countless ghosts were exposed to the light and melted like ice and snow in an instant. Xu Xiaoyan waved the Star Staff, and the second and fifth soul rings behind him lit up at the same time, and the bright starlight fell on the Ghost Douluo.

The second soul skill, Starlight Feedback, had little effect on Ghost Douluo, after all, there was a huge gap in strength between them, but the fifth soul skill, Starlight God Destruction, did work.

Starlight God Destruction, drops starlight on a target, forcibly seals its soul power, and transfers it to a designated location within a specified range. This is a soul skill that makes good use of the absolute control of astrological attributes. Regardless of the opponent's cultivation level, as long as they are still in the realm of soul masters, their soul power will be sealed for at least one second. As for the subsequent transfer, it is a side effect and can be used for both offense and defense.

Ghost Douluo had never expected that there would be such a domineering soul skill in the world. The moment he felt his soul power disappear, his face changed drastically. The next second, with starlight flashing, he disappeared from the spot and appeared at the place designated by Xu Xiaoyan.

The moment he appeared, Jing Shaoyu's attack had already arrived. The giant blood-red spear sprayed with strong murderous aura and pierced straight into his body. He felt that all the bones in his body were cut. The pain from his soul made the veins on his head bulge, his eyes bulged out, and his spirit almost collapsed. If his soul power had not returned in time, he would probably have died.

Jing Shaoyu showed a trace of regret when he saw that the Spear of Slaughter failed to kill with one strike, but he did not worry too much about it. After all, with his current level of cultivation, it was indeed a bit unrealistic to want to kill a Titled Douluo with one strike.

"Boy, who are you?" Ghost Douluo was scared and didn't dare to get closer. He retreated hundreds of meters, staring at Jing Shaoyu and roared loudly, but his voice seemed a little weak.

Although the fourth soul skill of the Final God-killing Spear, the Spear of Killing, failed to kill him, it also hurt his origin and made him see death, so he had a trace of retreat in his heart.

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense and come and die!" Jing Shaoyu said sternly, holding a spear. He had already understood that this Ghost Douluo was only a newly promoted Titled Douluo, whose cultivation had not yet been consolidated, and his combat power was not even as good as that of some senior Soul Douluos.

"Damn it, how shameless!" Ghost Douluo was furious. No matter what, he was a Titled Douluo, but he was looked down upon by a Soul Emperor. This was intolerable. He shouted, "Go to hell!"

His seventh soul ring lit up, and his martial soul was activated. The Ghost God Banner that was emitting black air immediately became larger and more solid, and the breath of death it emitted became more intense. Then Ghost God Douluo lit up his ninth soul ring. Although it was only a black soul ring, the soul skills that erupted were quite powerful.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the light in the area seemed to be swallowed up. Black fog shrouded the area, ghosts scattered, and a giant ghost stomped its giant feet towards Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan.

Jing Shaoyu's face solemnly turned red as he finally felt the pressure that a Titled Douluo should have. The End God-Slaying Spear in his hand flashed with an excited red light as his soul power circulated rapidly in his body, ready to take the blow head-on.

However, just as he was ready to attack, a spear came from nowhere and broke through the air, directly hitting the forehead of the giant ghost. The ghost shattered instantly, but the spear continued to attack and pierced into the right chest of Ghost Douluo unstoppably, nailing him firmly to the ground.

This sudden change made Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan dumbfounded, but neither of them had the idea of ​​letting down their guard, because the person who could pin a Titled Douluo to the ground so easily must also be a Titled Douluo.

The two did not dare to take it lightly until they were sure whether the enemy was a friend or an enemy.

Five people wearing special uniforms descended from the sky and surrounded the battlefield. Yes, there were only five people, but Jing Shaoyu had the illusion that it was a group of people, because the aura of these five people was extremely powerful and steady, and it was obvious at a glance that they were top-level powerhouses.

One of the men immediately walked up to Ghost God Douluo, leaned over to investigate, and then stood up and shouted to the man who was obviously the leader of the team: "Deputy Palace Master, he is still alive."

"Well, lock him up and take him back for interrogation." The man called the deputy hall master was a young man who looked to be in his twenties or thirties. He had a sharp temperament and firm eyes, but his voice was unusually gentle and warm.

"Yes!" The man took action immediately.

The deputy hall master and the other three people turned their gazes to Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan. It could be clearly felt that except for the deputy hall master, there was a hint of unkindness and scrutiny in the eyes of the three people.

"Deputy Palace Master, what should we do with these two little ghosts?" someone asked.

"Do you want to take them back with you? They are ruining our plan. Take them back and let their elders come to pick them up!" said another person viciously.

"I think so! Judging from their age and strength, they must be from a big family." The third person agreed.

The deputy hall master shook his head and waved his hand at the three people, saying: "Forget it, you go back first, I will handle this."

"Yes!" The three of them did not dare to refute after hearing this. They agreed respectfully and then left with the man at the beginning, escorting Ghost Douluo away.

There were only Jing Shaoyu, Xu Xiaoyan and the deputy hall master left here. Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan looked at the deputy hall master warily. Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan had heard the conversation between these people, so they did not dare to slack off at all.

This deputy hall master gave Jing Shaoyu an unfathomable feeling, a feeling he had only felt from a few people, so his heart sank and he prepared to take action.

"Haha! Don't be nervous." The deputy hall master suddenly laughed when he saw Jing Shaoyu's reaction. His laughter made Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan even more nervous. However, the young man's next words made Jing Shaoyu relax instantly. "You are Jing Shaoyu, right? Tsk tsk, you are indeed a rare genius. You may not know me yet, but it's not your fault. Let me introduce myself. My name is Guan Yue, the deputy hall master of the Federation War God Temple."
