Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 344 The Rule That Can Kill: Evil Soul Master Search Machine
"brush!"

A flash of white sword light disappeared in an instant, and snowflakes scattered across the field, like snow falling on earth, like ice covering the plains.

Snowflakes were falling all over the arena, and the ground was frozen solid. Although it wasn't the extreme ice that Ling Luochen possessed, it contained a strong chilling poison.

Anyone who stands in this area will feel a chill and poison seep into their body within a short time.

"This sword technique that makes snow fall on earth is indeed the same one my junior brother created," Vina said, resting her chin on her hand.

She knew this sword technique; her weapon was a rapier, so she had learned a little about it.

Yuwen Tuo never created a technique in half; his technique included not only mental cultivation methods but also sword techniques, palm techniques, and body techniques, making it a divine skill suitable for all ice-attribute soul masters.

Meng Hongchen also added his own cold poison to it, making it even more powerful.

“Now I understand why Tuo ran to the presidium to watch the battle,” Qiu’er said coldly. “He must have known that his affair would be discovered and that Xiao Xiao would pinch him until he was covered in red welts.”

That's right, Xiao Xiao was so angry she was grinding her teeth.

As for Luo Chen and Qiu'er, one of them arrived earlier than her. If their kinship hadn't deteriorated so late, she probably wouldn't have had a chance. The other one's fate was intertwined with hers and they were completely inseparable. At least she knew to use the identity of a foster sister to cover it up.

The one below is an absolute and blatant case of infidelity.

Under the overwhelming and fierce attack of Soul Saint Meng Hongchen, the seven members of the Dragon Slaying Sect quickly collapsed, after all, the strongest in their team was only a Soul King.

Meng Hongchen easily defeated seven opponents, so there was no need to fight the remaining team battles.

Sun Moon Empire Soul Master Academy won the first match of the preliminary round with an overwhelming advantage.

With so many participating teams, the preliminary rounds alone couldn't be completed in a single day. Sects like Tangmen, Guigu, and Shenglingzong, which were participating in the competition for the first time, had their matches scheduled for the second day.

Today's participants are mainly from various academies and a few well-known sects.

Surprisingly, apart from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy overwhelming the Dragon Slaying Sect with absolute strength at the beginning, most of the other teams were from sects suppressing academy teams.

After all, those who come from the same sect often have similar martial souls and roughly the same cultivation direction. Moreover, because their cultivation systems are more mature and their levels are higher, the strength they can unleash when they work together is naturally stronger.

For example, below, the Imperial Academy fell to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Heavenly Dragon Gate.

Jiang Peng said angrily, "Hey, that brat Yu Tianlong, he's so ruthless even to his own people."

Clearly, Jiang Peng knew Yu Tianlong, the captain of the Tianlongmen, since they both belonged to the Tianhun Empire.

“Our Imperial Academy is a bit weak in this competition. It’s better to be eliminated early. At least losing to the Heavenly Dragon Gate means we’re not in any real danger,” Vina said.

This competition is very different from previous ones in that there are absolutely no restrictions on killing!
In previous competitions, although there have been deaths, they were always attributed to things like blind soul skills or manslaughter.

In this case, you can even go so far as to kill someone directly.

This rule perfectly aligns with Xu Tianran's personality; in his eyes, Soul Masters and Soul Instructors are merely tools for him to kill.

Soul skills, on the other hand, are the means of killing; he doesn't like watching simple matches or petty squabbles.

In fact, Zhongli Wu somewhat wanted Xu Tianran to cancel this rule. It was hard to imagine that the dignified leader of the Holy Spirit Cult and the head of the evil soul masters would not want to kill anyone.

But there was nothing they could do; Yuwen Tuo was among the contestants. He didn't kill others, but he showed no mercy to evil spirit masters. This rule was tantamount to Yuwen Tuo willingly handing over the heads of evil spirit masters one by one.

However, Xu Tianran still refused. So what if the evil soul master died? Dying under Yuwen Tuo's blade would only increase the hatred between the two sides. Did he really think he would have any good feelings towards the evil soul master?

In Xu Tianran's plan, the first thing he would deal with after unifying the world was the Holy Spirit Cult.

Evil spirit masters have a terrible reputation on this continent; they are practically synonymous with evil.

In other words, whoever kills the evil spirit master is righteous.

In order to unify the continent, he has no choice but to temporarily compromise with evil. Once the dust settles, he will eliminate evil and achieve his reputation as a sage ruler for all time.

However, Xu Tianran certainly couldn't say this openly to Zhongli Wu at this moment. He promised to manipulate things behind the scenes to avoid the Holy Spirit Sect and the Ghost Valley Sect meeting too early in the competition, and then find a way to disqualify him from the competition.

Zhongli Wu then agreed, because as long as the Holy Spirit Sect didn't encounter Yuwen Tuo, he wasn't afraid of any other teams.

And at this moment, what Vina feared finally happened.

"thump!"

A woman lay on the ground. The once pretty young girl had now turned into a dried-up corpse, all the blood drained from her body.

Her opponent, a vampire-like figure, licked his lips. "Delicious. Virgin blood is indeed the most wonderful thing."

"He killed a demonic spirit master! He's a demonic spirit master!!!"

This match is between the Royal Academy of the Douling Empire and the Mingyu Sect of the Sun Moon Empire.

Unexpectedly, besides the Holy Spirit Sect, there is actually another sect of evil soul masters.

Yuwen Tuo said, "This Mingyu Sect isn't entirely made up of evil soul masters; it's mainly these two guys."

His gaze was mainly fixed on two people: one was Ade, who had just finished his match, and the other was a woman in the team who had not yet played and who looked like a noblewoman.

The Mingyu Sect mainly consists of these two people, who possess some aura of evil soul masters.

Long Xiaoyao glanced at Yuwen Tuo. Did this guy have a nose that could smell evil soul masters?
Even among those who didn't participate in the battle, it's possible to tell which one is an evil spirit master.
In fact, this is the ability that Yuwentuo obtained from Ilex. In this world, because Soul Masters must hunt Soul Beasts to cultivate, every Soul Master carries resentment within them. The cultivation methods of Evil Soul Masters are even more cruel, and they are covered with resentment far more intense than that of ordinary Soul Masters.

Perhaps someone like Duke White Tiger, a veteran of the battlefield, has killed more people, but killing on the battlefield and killing during cultivation are ultimately different. Battlefield warriors don't harbor too much resentment because soldiers possess innate protective energy that can resist resentment.

Those vengeful spirits never dared to approach soldiers, especially those who had killed countless enemies.

When the Necromancer Saint merged his divine consciousness, imbued with the laws of the dead, into Yuwentuo's first ring, Yuwentuo gained the ability to distinguish evil spirit masters, and from then on, no evil spirit master could hide from him.

He is now not only a killer of evil spirit masters, but also a search machine for them.

Of course, there are always exceptions. For example, if someone goes on a killing spree for a soul bone, he will be filled with resentment. However, it doesn't really matter if such a person kills the wrong one, since he deserves to die anyway.

At this moment, Yuwen Tuo looked at the two people with the same expression as if he were looking at prey. He knew that it would be difficult to encounter the Holy Spirit Sect now, but it wouldn't be bad to run into the Mingyu Sect first.

On the field, Adriano and the woman suddenly shuddered, as if they were being watched by something terrifying.
