Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 277 Ode to a Pure Heart

Why did Long Xiaoyao suddenly appear? Was he watching what was happening inside the stone chamber the whole time?

In an instant, several thoughts arose in Lin Xiao's mind, but seeing Long Xiaoyao attacking again, he had no time to think too much and immediately suppressed all his thoughts.

On the other side, Long Xiaoyao's clothes fluttered under the impact of the powerful soul force, and the dragon scales on his right arm seemed to devour all the light around him. The entire stone chamber was filled with a heavy aura, making it hard to breathe.

Long Xiaoyao's gaze was fixed on Lin Xiao, clearly indicating that he was serious.

Just a moment ago, when Long Xiaoyao suddenly struck out to meet Lin Xiao's palms, he actually sensed a soul force from Lin Xiao's body that was completely unexpected.

As a Limit Douluo, he could naturally see that Lin Xiao's current soul power level was only level 91, but the depth of his soul power even surpassed that of some Super Douluos with unstable foundations.

Although Long Xiaoyao did not use his full strength, Lin Xiao also reacted hastily, only retreating without being seriously injured, which shows that Lin Xiao's hasty response completely blocked his attack.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, Long Xiaoyao's soul power surged again, and the sixth black soul ring beside him shone brightly. His arm, which had already transformed into a dragon claw, became even more profound, and everything around him seemed to be about to be devoured by this power.

Nana, who was standing to the side, had already sat down on the ground with a "thud." Under such immense pressure, she couldn't support her body and didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Lin Xiao, who was facing Long Xiaoyao head-on, felt it even more clearly. In a daze, he seemed to see a real dragon baring its fangs in front of him, its chilling killing intent undiminished.

The stone chamber was already cramped, and under those dragon eyes, Lin Xiao had nowhere to hide. It seemed that no matter where he ran, he would be closely watched by those eyes.

The surrounding light seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, and it was getting darker and darker around him. There seemed to be nothing but the boundless darkness in front of him.

wrong!

Lin Xiao's gaze sharpened, and his soul power surged towards his head. Suddenly, a bright, sea-blue light appeared between his brows, and a layer of light shimmered slightly over his throat.

Long Xiaoyao only saw Lin Xiao open his mouth, but didn't hear any sound. Then, he saw his eyes instantly become clear.

Soul bone?

As a Limit Douluo, Long Xiaoyao was naturally a veteran of countless battles and immediately noticed the changes in Lin Xiao.

However, there were things he didn't know: Lin Xiao had just used more than just the skull.

Lin Xiao's skull came from the Great Elder, who was also a member of the mermaid clan. After her soul bone entered Lin Xiao's body, it merged with the external soul bone in her throat.

Moreover, the soul skills granted to him by that soul bone are related to the mental power that the merfolk are good at. One of the soul skills is to clear away all negative mental influences and enhance his mental resistance for a period of time.

For a moment, a faint singing voice seemed to linger in Lin Xiao's ears, like countless siren singing in unison, which not only cleared his mind instantly but also filled his entire body with power.

The Siren's Joyful Song - Ode to a Pure Heart.

As expected of a Limit Douluo. Lin Xiao felt relieved and instantly understood Long Xiaoyao's methods. It was not just the effect of a soul skill, but a combat technique originating from Long Xiaoyao himself that transcended soul skills.

His aura as a Limit Douluo, along with his soul power, killing intent, and the dark attribute within his martial soul, swept over the opponent, plunging them into darkness and swallowing up the light and the courage to resist that rose in their hearts.

What seemed like a long time was actually just a moment. Lin Xiao's thoughts raced, his soul power surged, and the ninth soul ring around him, which was surrounded by gray patterns, suddenly lit up with a dazzling blood-red light.

He could sense the terror of Long Xiaoyao's move; ordinary defense was simply ineffective against it. The only way was to use a similar ability to counter it with offense.

The already quiet stone chamber became even more silent. The blood flowing from the soul beast's body on the ground seemed to stop at this moment, as if even the sounds and time here were heading towards "death," unable to move to the next moment.

Her right leg shone brightly, and Lin Xiao's long black hair, now dyed crimson, fluttered in the wind. Her aura surged once more, and crimson soul power seeped from her meridians, intertwining and outlining a giant flower.

Long Xiaoyao's vision blurred as countless memories flooded his mind: the joys of his youth, his feelings for Ye Xishui, and his guilt towards Mu En...

He was over two hundred years old, but he had never seen flowers as beautiful as those before him. Just one glance was enough to make him want to let go of everything and return to eternal peace.

A sharp pain shot through his brow, an instinctive sense of danger that brought him back to his senses. Looking again, he saw that the flower was nothing more than a woven fabric of crimson soul power surrounding Lin Xiao, who was standing within it, seemingly casually raising his right palm.

That palm strike looked soft and seemingly powerless, but in Long Xiaoyao's eyes, it made his brow twitch wildly.

Is this what it looks like when someone first enters the Title Douluo realm?

Long Xiaoyao only had time for a moment of doubt to flash through his mind before his right hand, covered in jet-black dragon scales, met Lin Xiao's right palm.

In an instant, the soul power within Long Xiaoyao surged forth, yet it still could not prevent a cold sensation from entering his body.

No, it wasn't just a feeling of coldness; it was more like the icy chill that permeates the body from the inside out after death.

Lin Xiao's palm strike was certainly no ordinary one. In addition to being mixed with his own ultimate death "intention", it was also his ninth soul skill, which was the oldest and most powerful among all his soul skills.

This soul skill originates from the Snow Empress, but it is not entirely her power. It brings not extreme cold to the opponent, but extreme death.

A seemingly ordinary palm strike, with an attack range limited to close range and only effective against one person, can lead to utterly irrational death once the opponent shows signs of fatigue.

No matter what kind of defense the opponent has, no matter what level of cultivation they possess, one palm strike will send them to the other side.

Facing a level 99 Limit Douluo, Lin Xiao had no time to think about Long Xiaoyao's purpose or what the consequences might be. He only wanted to use his strongest move to block the Limit Douluo's attack.

Within the boundless soul core, soul power seemed to converge from the entire plane, then surged out along Lin Xiao's meridians. The endless soul power made Long Xiaoyao's expression somewhat unpleasant.

Although he was not clear about the effects of Lin Xiao's ninth soul skill, his body's instincts told him that he absolutely could not lose in the soul power contest.
