Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 319 The Murderer from Back Then

After killing the Masked Douluo, Yuwen Tuo quietly sensed the Fire God Mark under his bangs, and a flash of light appeared.

Yuwentuo sensed that he had completed half of his test.

The same goes for Qiu'er. Although she didn't take action, she came here with Yuwen Tuo to help him hold the line, which can be considered as providing assistance.

Yuwen Tuo

Zhang Peng glared fiercely at Yuwen Tuo. He had almost lost count of how many Title Douluos from their Holy Spirit Cult had fallen at Yuwen Tuo's hands.
In the past, people who heard the name of an evil spirit master would be terrified and would avoid him at all costs.

Even the Shrek Academy's inspection team, which is famous throughout the continent for its mission of eradicating evil soul masters, has only killed soul masters at the Soul Emperor and Soul Saint levels at most.

But ever since Yuwen Tuo debuted, killing evil soul masters and titled Douluo has been as easy as killing chickens, and collecting heads is like collecting stamps.

"What, Zhang Peng, do you want me to send you on your way? Although I know it will be difficult for me to beat you now, after all, you are a level 96 Super Douluo, which is completely different from ordinary Title Douluos, I am not necessarily afraid of you." Yuwen Tuo laughed.

He was holding a bloody human head in his hand, which contrasted sharply with his hearty smile, making him appear even more ferocious and murderous.

In the past, Zhang Peng would have been very dismissive of Yuwen Tuo's words, but at this moment, Zhang Peng regarded him as someone of the same class as himself.

Even if his actual strength is still somewhat inferior to his, the problem is that Yuwen Tuo is only eighteen years old and is only a Soul Saint.

I'm afraid that in another two years, we'll be able to hang him up and beat him.

“Young man, although your strength is amazing, you are too arrogant. Be careful, pride comes before a fall. You had better learn what humility is.” Long Xiaoyao disliked Yuwen Tuo very much because Yuwen Tuo’s personality was completely opposite to that of Mu En back then.

Both are exceptional geniuses, but he is nothing like Mu En, who is cunning and has a strong desire to kill.

For ordinary people, evil spirit masters are terrifying.

In the eyes of the Holy Spirit Cult, Yuwen Tuo might become even more evil than the evil spirit masters in the future.

"Move the monument?" Yuwen Tuo smiled. "Long Xiaoyao, don't worry, one day I will move the monument of your whole family."

"The problem now is, I've won this bet, so keep your promise and tell me, who was the evil spirit master who massacred my village back then?"

"Don't worry, I, Dark Holy Dragon Long Xiaoyao, always keep my word. Let me tell you, because of your very special identity, at that time, we not only wanted to kill you, but also hoped to collect your remnant soul. It might play a role in a crucial moment in the future. Therefore, the two we sent were both titled Douluo who could collect souls. One was called Lich Douluo, and the other was Ten Thousand Souls Douluo! It's just a pity that you seem to be protected by the unseen forces. After these two titled Douluo destroyed your village, they searched around your village for a long time, but they always missed you."

"Lich Douluo, Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, indeed they are titled Douluo who can collect souls." Yuwen Tuo understood. In his previous life, he had cultivated immortality techniques and was very sensitive to souls. Theoretically speaking, when a person dies, the remnant soul will not immediately dissipate, but will stay in place, looking at its own corpse, until it accepts the truth of its death before returning.

If one is unable to return due to harboring immense resentment, they may become a vengeful spirit.

But on that day, Yuwen Tuo couldn't sense a single trace of his remnant soul in the village, so he knew that the villagers' souls must have been taken away by someone.

As he expected, Lich and Ten Thousand Souls—these names sounded like titles that could collect souls. He knew about the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo; he had appeared in the original story as one of the eight elders, the Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, whose martial soul was the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, containing countless undead spirits.

Although I've never heard of the Lich Douluo, I imagine he must be one of the twelve priests of the Holy Spirit Cult who never appeared before.

As for why he always misses out, it's probably because the sealed luck within him is protecting him.

Now he had a target. He just hoped they hadn't consumed the souls of his family members, otherwise... Yuwen Tuo clenched his fist tightly.

He had a premonition that the souls of his family members were still alive, and that he would be able to bring them back.

Sensing Yuwentuo's sudden renewed burst of killing intent, Long Xiaoyao assumed that he had heard the name of his enemy and was now completely enraged. He didn't think much of it, since Yuwentuo had already shown that he was irreconcilably opposed to their Holy Spirit Sect, so what difference would a little more anger make?
"Yuwen Tuo, I have fulfilled the promise I made to you. This ends here. Farewell!" With that, Long Xiaoyao took Zhang Peng and quickly fled into the distance. They knew that with Poison Undying and the Crimson King around, they could no longer take back the ring, and a forceful fight would be pointless.

Yuwen Tuo didn't stop them. He couldn't summon the Snow Emperor now, and relying solely on poison wouldn't be enough to kill Long Xiaoyao.

After all, Long Xiaoyao is not that sickly Mu En. He is in good health. Du Busi's strength is currently at the early stage of level 99, which is not what it used to be. He may not have a 100% chance of winning against Long Xiaoyao.

Besides, even if Long Xiaoyao can't win, can't he just leave?
"Hey, that old guy, he just ran away without even fighting, that's not satisfying at all," Du Bu Si complained.

He originally wanted to get revenge for being besieged earlier, but he didn't expect Long Xiaoyao to be such a coward.

“This person doesn’t like pointless fights,” Yuwen Tuo said. “It doesn’t matter, we’ll kill him sooner or later. Sect Master, we still have time, let’s go take a look at the other side.”

He hadn't forgotten that besides the Holy Spirit Cult, he'd also come to Shrek today.

"Okay, let's go see if Lao Jin has dealt with Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er yet."

The group changed direction and flew towards Shrek Academy.

When they flew to the battlefield, they did not see Yan Shaozhe and Huo Yuhao, but only Xian Lin'er, who was covered in wounds, desperately holding off Jin Peng all by herself.

"Hey, you guys finally arrived. I'm exhausted from fighting. It's really not easy to suppress her without killing her," Jin Peng couldn't help but complain when he saw Yuwen Tuo and the others.

Everyone could see that Xian Lin'er was no match for Jin Peng in a one-on-one fight. Jin Peng was able to kill her easily now probably because he was only suppressing her and not killing her, so as to leave the opportunity for revenge to Yuwen Tuo.

"What happened? Where is Yan Shaozhe?" Du Busi asked.

“They ran away,” Jin Peng said.

"They got away?" Poison Immortal's eyes widened. "Old Jin, what are you doing? You've already reached level 97 and have a 100,000-year soul ring. How could you let one of them escape when you were dealing with just Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er?"
