Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 287 Evil Frost
Although spiritual detection is very useful, Huo Yuhao himself knows that this spiritual detection is not omnipotent. Thinking of the terrible experience of his soul being burned by the Sun Wheel Golden Wing Flame of Meteor and Firefly, he is still frightened.

The feeling of his soul being roasted on fire was so painful that he never dared to use his mental detection skills to provoke them again.

On the other side, Wang Xiaolei of the Holy Spirit Sect stood there extremely calmly, not moving at all.

He slowly raised his right arm, his movements stiff and slow. As he moved, circles of soul rings slowly rose from under his feet.

As expected, Wang Xiaolei is a powerful evil soul master from the Holy Spirit Church. He also has six soul rings, and they are a perfect combination - two yellow, two purple, and two black.

Just as everyone was amazed, a sinister bone claw slowly emerged from the wide sleeve of Wang Xiaolei's right arm.

The white bone claws gleamed with a strange luster in the dim light, as if carrying an endless breath of death.

The white bone claw gently pointed at Ma Hongjun who was rushing towards him, and the first soul ring on Wang Xiaolei's body instantly burst into a dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely strange scene took place. The originally extremely hard steel plate ground suddenly seemed to be controlled by some force, and countless white bone claws broke out of the ground.

These bone claws were uneven and of different lengths, as if they were the devil's hands reaching out from the abyss of hell, grabbing Ma Hongjun who was flying at low altitude.

At this time, the sky was already gloomy, as if a huge lead plate was pressing on everyone's heads. Coupled with the sudden appearance of the large bone claws, the audience on the scene immediately exclaimed.

"What is this?"

"What kind of martial spirit is this?"

The audience whispered to each other, their faces full of fear and confusion.

At the same time, a strange sound like bones rubbing against each other came from Wang Xiaolei's large black cloak. It was sharp and piercing, making people shudder.

The five finger bones of his extended bony claws began to move rhythmically, as if playing a melody of death.

What was even more bizarre was that as the finger bones moved, the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth soul rings on Wang Xiaolei's body actually showed a strange alternating flashing appearance.

Each soul ring only flashes slightly, and then extends the light to the next soul ring. The brightness of the light rises and falls like waves, changing unpredictably.

Such a strange scene made it impossible for everyone on the stage to judge what kind of soul skill Wang Xiaolei was going to use, and the entire arena was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Faced with this sudden change, Ma Hongjun, whose forward momentum was blocked by the bone claws, did not panic at all.

Suddenly, a red phoenix fire line spurted out of his mouth. The fire line was like a galloping fire dragon, carrying a scorching high temperature, rushing straight towards the bone claw in front of him.

In an instant, the blazing Phoenix Fire completely enveloped the bone claws that emitted a cold and gloomy aura.

Under the extremely high temperature, these bone claws instantly turned into nothingness and ashes, drifting away with the wind.

After all, fire, to some extent, has a natural restraining effect on evil forces. Although the restraining effect of fire is slightly inferior to the attributes of holiness, light, and lightning that specifically restrain evil soul masters, it is enough for Ma Hongjun to gain a precious advantage in the fierce battle with evil soul masters.

However, in order to deal with the sudden bone claw attack, Ma Hongjun had to stop and expend his energy to fight back.

This brief delay gave Wang Xiaolei enough time to complete the soul skill he had been preparing for a long time.

Wang Xiaolei made a light pressing gesture towards Ma Hongjun. The moment he made this gesture, a strange ice-blue ripple suddenly appeared on his outstretched bone claw.

The ripples were like a deep, cold pool, emitting a chilling aura. Then, a circle of pale light appeared at Ma Hongjun's feet without warning.

Ma Hongjun only felt a strong and cold breath, like a surging tide, instantly invading him.

The chill seemed to have the power to penetrate the soul. In the blink of an eye, the world around him turned into a white world.

This is Wang Xiaolei’s second soul skill - Evil Frost.

The freezing ability displayed by Wang Xiaolei is completely different from the Snow Girl's ultimate ice. The Snow Girl's ultimate ice is pure and powerful, and is the ultimate embodiment of ice power.

However, Wang Xiaolei's freezing power is not of pure ice attribute at all. It is condensed from the evil energy extracted from the origin of the resentful spirits. The almost unbearable feeling of extreme cold actually comes from highly concentrated evil and resentment.

In order to maintain the ability to use this soul skill, Wang Xiaolei must constantly replenish vengeful spirits. Each vengeful spirit carries a lost life.

Like the vast majority of evil soul masters, his powerful abilities are built on the blood and suffering of countless innocent lives.

This cruel and evil way of acquiring power means that every move he makes is accompanied by endless sin and death.

When Wang Xiaolei unleashed this horrifying spirit skill, the audience frowned, their eyes revealing undisguised disgust. This evil spirit skill, like a cancer in the darkness, stirred within everyone an irrepressible revulsion.

Qian Renxue suppressed the murderous intent surging in her heart, and her jade-white fingers sank deeply into the armrest of the chair due to the force.

Her eyes were fixed on the arena, with flames of anger burning in them, and she wished she could rush up and tear the evil soul master into pieces.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin in the VIP seat also frowned. Although Chen Xin's martial soul, the Seven Killing Sword, was named "Kill", he never killed innocent people in his life, and he disdained to attack ordinary people.

Wang Xiaolei's behavior of relying on devouring the souls and resentment of ordinary people to perform soul skills made his murderous intent surge.

Meteor watched all this with an expressionless face, but in fact, he had his own considerations in his heart.

This was the reason why he chose to ignore Huo Yuhao's cheating in the competition. In his opinion, the actions of the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Sect were even more abominable than those of the hostile Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.

However, being in a complicated situation, there are some things that Liu Xing cannot do on his own. Because of his position, he cannot attack these evil soul masters for no reason.

Even though he was filled with murderous intent, he could not act recklessly. Even if he really wanted to take action, he had to hide his public identity. It was even more impossible for him to kill the opponent directly in this competition in public.

If he did so, the consequences would be disastrous. Not only would it directly attract the crazy revenge of the Holy Spirit Church and draw a large amount of firepower towards himself, it would also put Xu Tianran, the regent of the Sun-Moon Empire, into an embarrassing situation.

After all, openly attacking an ally would undoubtedly be a slap in Xu Tianran's face, treating him, the regent, as a decoration with no deterrent power.

You know, even those powerful ninth-level soul masters did not dare to act rashly when facing the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church, not to mention that Liuxing and Liuying had not yet become Titled Douluo.

Among the ninth-level soul masters in the Sun-Moon Empire, there are many who hate evil soul masters. They also detest the actions of evil soul masters in their hearts, but over the years, they have never taken any actual action against them.

The powerful strength of the Holy Spirit Church is certainly an important reason, but the more crucial thing is that the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire supports the Holy Spirit Church behind the scenes.

Just look at how the Royal Worship Hall turned a blind eye to this and you will know that in such a complicated situation, as long as one has one's own position and interests involved, many things cannot be done as one pleases.

Of course, if you are a lone person with no ties, you can naturally do whatever it takes to uphold justice.

But Liuxing is different. He lives a relatively smooth life in the Sun-Moon Empire, and the Never-Night Palace is developing rapidly. All this is inseparable from the various resource supports provided by the Sun-Moon Empire.

He didn't want to completely break up with the Sun-Moon Empire just because of a momentary impulse and to deal with a few evil soul masters, thus destroying everything he had worked hard for.

In his heart, he actually hoped that Shrek Academy could eliminate a few more evil soul masters. This way, he could weaken the power of the Holy Spirit Sect without having to offend anyone himself.

Therefore, he would never report Huo Yuhao. In his opinion, that was tantamount to helping the evil soul master in disguise.

At this moment, in the competition field, Ma Hongjun, who was completely enveloped by white light, truly felt an evil and cold aura flowing into his body along his meridians like an icy poisonous snake. This aura came with great force, trying to pollute and erode his martial soul.

If it were in the past, when his evil fire had not yet been purified, facing Wang Xiaolei's evil frost attack, he might have been hit instantly, his martial soul was temporarily contaminated, and he would have been in crisis in this game.

But things are different now. Ma Hongjun once took the precious magical herb Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. After the baptism and transformation of the magical herb, his martial soul has completed its evolution. The evil fire that once troubled him has long disappeared without a trace. Now he has become a true fire phoenix.

On the other side, Wang Xiaolei's mind was extremely calm. The next moment after the evil frost was cast, he took a step forward without hesitation, while raising his right hand high.

As he did this, his wide sleeves naturally slid down to his shoulders amid the audience's exclamations.

When it slipped, the exposed right arm was completely made of white bones, emitting a chilling aura in the dim light.

Could it be that, beneath that heavy black robe, Wang Xiaolei wasn't an ordinary human at all, but a creepy skeleton? This thought flashed through the audience's minds, sending a chill down everyone present.

Evil soul masters are inherently mysterious and behave strangely, and the various weird behaviors displayed by Wang Xiaolei at this moment have pushed this weirdness to the extreme.

Every move he made seemed to carry a sinister aura, making ordinary people's scalps tingle and their whole bodies involuntarily shiver.

The fear that penetrated deep into the bone marrow was like a maggot in the tarsal bones, tightly entangling everyone's nerves.

On Wang Xiaolei's raised right hand, purple-black light began to condense crazily. This light was like materialized darkness, rolling and surging, as if containing endless evil power.

The evil frost he unleashed was far more than it seemed. This soul skill not only created a cold attack effect, its real horror lay in its ability to release the evil aura of resentful spirits, eroding the opponent like a surging tide.

Once contaminated by this evil aura, the opponent will not only suffer physical pain, but his martial soul will also be seriously polluted. He may even gradually lose his self-awareness under the influence of this evil force, and eventually be transformed into a vengeful spirit and become a part of this evil force.

In addition, the evil frost also has a very strong restrictive effect. It can freeze the opponent's actions in an instant, making the opponent unable to move. As for how long the opponent can be restricted, it depends entirely on the strength of the opponent's own strength.
