Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 307 Ghost-Faced Flame Lord, Blood Phoenix Ma Hongjun
The dark, soul-devouring fire, like the scythe of death, mercilessly reaped the lives of the fallen on the streets. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the once bustling and vibrant streets were now deserted and desolate.

Only the will-o'-the-wisps remained, and all was deathly silent.

The Soul-Devouring Flame was greatly enhanced after consuming a large number of souls.

No matter what else.

The quality of souls in the City of Slaughter is truly high; all the souls come from powerful soul masters. The only problem is that all these souls are "corrupted."

The soul contains immense desires and murderous intent.

Therefore, before Lin Xiao could devour souls, there was an essential step: removing the "impurities" such as desires from these fallen souls. This actually provided Lin Xiao with a way to evolve the Soul-Devouring Flame:

Purification.

Unlike Amaterasu Phoenix Fire, which counters darkness and corruption, Soul Eater Fire also counters darkness and corruption, but in a completely opposite way.

The Amaterasu Phoenix Fire aims to annihilate all darkness and depravity, along with the souls filled with darkness and depravity; however, the evolutionary direction of the Soul-Eating Fire is to remove the darkness and depravity from the soul, thereby obtaining a blank soul.

But first, Lin Xiao must be able to resist the invasion of darkness.

It has a sense of "If I don't go to hell, who will?"

……

A month has passed.

Lin Xiao is already considered an "old-timer" in the Killing City.

Within a month, he participated in 15 consecutive challenges in the Killing City. After winning 100 consecutive matches, he would be able to qualify for the Hell Road.

By traversing the Hell Road, one can obtain the God of Slaughter Domain.

However, after the first month, the frequency of Lin Xiao's challenge matches slowed down.

On the one hand, there are fewer opponents of the same level, and the speed at which the Killing City makes arrangements is not as fast as before; on the other hand, Lin Xiao does not want to leave the Killing City too soon.

Family members, who knows?
Lin Xiao really loves Killing City!
The people here are pleasant to talk to and straightforward in their work. Most importantly, where else can you find so many powerful Soul Masters whose strength has been suppressed?
Where can you find so many high-quality souls?
Lin Xiao cherished this rare opportunity to purchase goods.

The Soul-Devouring Flame has begun to evolve, and he is reluctant to leave this place until the evolution is complete and the Soul-Devouring Flame has undergone a complete transformation.

"It's him, Ghost-Faced Flame Lord!"

The moment Lin Xiao appeared on the street, all the vicious thugs on the street avoided him as if he were a monster.

Their fear of Lin Xiao even surpassed that of the King of Slaughter.

At the very least, the King of Slaughter only treated them like dogs.

Lin Xiao completely treats them like "treasures"!

Because Lin Xiao always wore a ghost mask, and his method of killing was the flame that could burn the soul, he went on a killing spree in the City of Slaughter and was invincible in the hellish killing field.

Thus, he earned the nickname "Demon-Faced Flame Lord".

Lin Xiao watched the Fallen Ones scatter and flee, casually raised his head, snapped his fingers, and the Soul-Devouring Flame then selected a few lucky ones as fuel for its evolution.

However, today seems to be a little different.

Lin Xiao stopped in his tracks and looked up. He saw a beautiful young woman dressed in black standing in the middle of the street. She held a short sword about a foot long that gleamed with cold light. Her eyes, full of eerie charm, sparkled, and she had a fresh and refined temperament.

In this chaotic killing field, compared to the other glamorous and scantily clad women, she was like a pure white lotus rising from the mud, untouched by its surroundings.

"Oh ho, it's someone I know." Lin Xiao recognized her as Hu Liena, the fox demon he had met at the Soul Master Competition. He wasn't surprised to see her in the City of Slaughter.

However, it seems that Hu Liena is in a bad situation now?
An unnatural blush rose on the girl's cheeks, and her bewitching eyes held a hint of dazedness. Her perfect figure was writhing restlessly, probably under the influence of an aphrodisiac.

What a cliché and outdated plot.

Lin Xiao wasn't interested in this. Anyone else might have perished in the fire, but out of respect for Dong Jie, he decided to avoid trouble.

Lin Xiao walked past Hu Liena calmly and without leaning to either side.

We met by chance, there's no need for us to become acquainted.

But Hu Liena stared straight at him, her alluring red lips parting as she whispered:
“Ghost-faced Flame Lord, I’m in a bit of trouble right now. I know you and I are the same kind of people, neither of us belongs to the City of Slaughter, and our ultimate goal is to walk the Road to Hell.”

“Help me, and I can become your companion. Moreover, I will reward you handsomely after we leave the Killing City.”

Hu Liena seemed to have known Lin Xiao for a long time.

Of course, she didn't know Lin Xiao's true identity; she only made guesses and judgments about "Ghost-Faced Flame Lord" based on some information.

Lin Xiao said coldly:
"You should know that I don't treat women well."

In fact, in the Killing City, any beautiful woman who tries to get close to Lin Xiao, whether she's a venomous spider like the Black Widow or a seemingly innocent but actually scheming woman, will ultimately meet the same fate.

That is the nourishment that becomes the Soul-Devouring Flame.

Hu Liena bit her red lips lightly and said resolutely:
"That's precisely why I want to seek your help, Oni-faced Flame-kun. Helping me is helping yourself, because we have a common enemy!"

Lin Xiao became interested.

"Common enemy?"

Hu Liena's eyes flashed with hatred, and her disgust was undisguised as she said bitterly:

"That's right, our common enemy is Blood Phoenix Ma Hongjun!"

"He tried to force himself on me several times, but he was stopped by the King of Slaughter due to the pressure from the forces behind me. Now he has resorted to despicable means and used an aphrodisiac on me!"

"He thought he wouldn't get into trouble since he didn't do it himself, but I know that fatso's habits, and he's definitely involved in this!"

Obviously.

Regardless of whether Ma Hongjun did it or not, Hu Liena held Ma Hongjun responsible for it.

Hu Liena's voice began to break up, clearly she was pushing herself to the limit. She tried her best to control herself, but her eyes were still so alluring they could be drawn out. She subconsciously licked her lips and stuck out her tongue, and her body twisted more frequently, her charm at its peak.

Seeing that Lin Xiao remained silent for a long time, she said anxiously:

"What I said is real!"

"Ma Hongjun is the adopted son of the King of Slaughter. He is arrogant, extravagant, and licentious. He is ugly in appearance but extremely twisted in his mind. He has an obsession and harbors extreme jealousy and hatred towards all men who are exceptionally talented or good-looking."

He cannot tolerate anyone who is better than himself!

"I vaguely heard that Ghost-Faced Flame Lord, you have emerged out of nowhere with extraordinary talent and brilliance, and Ma Hongjun is already gathering people to target you!"

"Perhaps he already has a plan!"
