Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 208: Establishing a Character

Upon entering the city, Gu Yuena's stunning beauty unsurprisingly attracted a lot of attention.

Many of them had eyes filled with greed.

However, because of Gu Yuena's extraordinary temperament, no one dared to make any rash moves or try to strike up a conversation with her.

"Humph."

Ling Shuang snorted coldly, and the surrounding temperature quickly turned icy. A wisp of dark purple light flew out from his hand, carving a huge crack in front of a person.

However, they were only inches apart. If they were any closer, the person's body would surely become like the ground.

The desire that had been in their eyes vanished instantly, replaced by overwhelming panic.

Normally, Ling Shuang would have ignored these stares; he was already used to it.

But now he wants to create a different persona.

His cold gaze swept across the surroundings, then suddenly stopped on a burly man.

The life laws he had mastered told him that this person carried a variety of cold, sinister life auras.

This phenomenon only occurs among ruthless villains and evil spirit masters.

Then it's up to you.

Ling Shuang immediately had a good target in mind to operate on.

"What are you looking at?" He gave the man a cold look.

The burly man was clearly a desperate criminal; even though Ling Shuang had angered him earlier, he wasn't afraid.

Facing Ling Shuang's cold gaze, the burly man sneered: "So what if I looked? What can you do to me?"

"Hey kid, this girl next to you is pretty nice. Why don't you let her keep this old man company for a while?"

The burly man had noticed Gu Yuena's stunning beauty long ago and had some bad thoughts in his mind. However, he didn't make a move at first because of Gu Yuena's aura and was worried that she had a powerful background.

Provoked by Ling Shuang, he couldn't care less about being cautious or hesitant.

The bloodlust to kill takes over.

These ruthless and vicious criminals who kill without hesitation are usually mentally disturbed and unable to control their emotions.

Just like those people from the Killing City in Douluo Continent, if they don't control their killing intent, they will become nothing more than monsters who only know how to kill.

The burly man in front of me is just like that.

The burly man's reaction pleased Ling Shuang, and with that, he no longer held back when he made his move.

They were already planning to cultivate a good public image, and now it's even better.

A real life is more conducive to the establishment of a persona.

"You're the first person who dares to be so arrogant in front of me." Ling Shuang's voice was cold and icy, a departure from her usual calm demeanor.

A manic expression appeared on his face, which, combined with Ling Shuang's already sinister face after her transformation, created an even better effect, making him look like no good person at first glance.

The burly man seemed to want to say something more, but suddenly his pupils widened sharply.

Ling Shuang, who was just a few meters away, had appeared in front of him without him even noticing.

A hand, like a pair of pliers, gripped his head tightly.

"Remember, be arrogant again in your next life when you have the strength." Ling Shuang's disguised face revealed a strange smile.

The burly man felt a sharp pain in his head.

The next moment, amidst screams echoing through the street, his head exploded like a watermelon, splattering blood everywhere.

The headless body collapsed limply to the ground.

Ling Shuang withdrew her hand and used a deliberate, less pure, and even somewhat sinister destructive power to remove the bloodstains from her hand.

The streets, which were just crowded with people, are now deserted.

Everyone scattered and fled because of that horrifying scene.

Gu Yuena stood to the side with her arms crossed, watching everything with great interest.

She knew that Ling Shuang wouldn't deliberately create such a commotion for no reason; she must have some purpose.

Gu Yuena had probably already guessed some of it. "Let's go." Ling Shuang withdrew her hand after doing all this, glancing almost imperceptibly at a certain corner, and said calmly.

He was calm and composed, as if nothing had happened, clearly showing that he didn't care about a life at all.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the imperial guards.

A renowned Soul Master wielding a Soul Guidance Device arrived from not far away.

They were surrounded by spirit rings, and their spirit tools were pointed directly at Ling Shuang and the other person, their faces wary.

"stop!"

Ling Shuang stopped and her gaze swept over the Soul Masters around her.

The imperial guards felt as if they were being watched by something terrifying, and a chill ran through their bodies.

One of them swallowed hard and mustered his courage: "Killing someone in the capital is a serious crime. Please come with us."

They weren't confident they could handle Ling Shuang, otherwise they wouldn't be speaking so politely; they would have forcibly taken him back long ago.

Ling Shuang, in order to uphold her new persona, naturally wouldn't cooperate.

He grinned, his disguised gray eyes casting a disdainful glance at the imperial guards:
"What if I say no?"

These words instantly brought the atmosphere in the room to a tense peak.

Many soul tools have begun to accumulate power.

"Then we have no choice but to take action."

Although they sensed a great threat from Ling Shuang, this was the imperial city, and as the imperial city guards, they certainly could not compromise.

Otherwise, even if he doesn't die now, he will most likely face death if His Majesty holds him accountable later.

"You guys?" came a sneer.

Five spirit rings, one purple, one black, one black, and one red, slowly rose up.

A purple scythe slowly appeared in Ling Shuang's hand.

This purple scythe is naturally the Twin Staff of Creation and Annihilation.

However, in order to conceal his identity, he naturally could not use the real Twin Staffs of Creation and Annihilation.

After all, Ling Shuang had made a great splash at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition, and his martial soul was known to everyone.

This purple scythe is actually just a change in appearance achieved by using force.

The enormous scythe appeared to be a physical entity, but in reality, it was a force of destruction.

However, because it contains a trace of divine power, no one will be able to see through it.

As for the five spirit rings, they were merely illusions created by Gu Yuena using her mental power at Ling Shuang's request.

With Gu Yuena's god-level mental power, it's impossible for mortals to see any problems.

Everything Ling Shuang is doing now makes it impossible for anyone to think of his original identity.

After all, their appearance, martial spirit, and spirit rings are completely different.

Although he was only showing Soul King cultivation, while the strongest among the two imperial city guards was already Soul Emperor, they were still on high alert and dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

That imminent threat of death was no joke.

The Imperial Guards dared not make any rash moves, and Ling Shuang did not rush to act either, as if she was waiting for something.

The two sides were deadlocked until Ling Shuang suddenly made a move.

The giant scythe, now imbued with an evil aura after being affected, swung towards one of the guards.

"stop!"

A figure suddenly appeared in front of the guard who hadn't yet reacted.

The nine spirit rings proclaimed the newcomer's cultivation level.

Unnoticed, Ling Shuang's triumphant smile flashed across her face.
