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

Chapter 336 Kill them all

A tremendous roar came from the ground, the sound almost tangible, causing everything in the stone chamber to tremble.

But Lin Xiao knew that it was just an illusion. What really caused the tremor was not the sound, but the attack from the ground.

Looking up, the soul lamps hanging above the stone chamber were swaying constantly, and the gray candlelight inside was going out one after another, signifying the death of each Holy Spirit Cult disciple.

At this time, the duel between the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy should still be taking place on the front lines. Such a large-scale death of Holy Spirit Cult disciples was probably not caused by the battlefield or any other action.

A thought flashed through Lin Xiao's mind, and he instantly realized it was Xu Tianran who had attacked the Holy Spirit Cult.

An attack capable of causing such a violent tremor is probably not a simple technique, but rather a fixed soul tool of considerable level.

Xu Tianran was willing to go to great lengths; in order to eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult, he even brought out a fixed soul tool.

Just as Lin Xiao was pondering, the entire stone chamber began to shake again, and another attack landed, causing the surrounding stone walls to crack and splinter.

Lin Xiao glanced back at the cracked statue of the Holy Emperor, waved his sleeve to collect all the soul lamps in the stone chamber, and then stepped out and rushed towards the stone chamber door.

"boom--"

The moment Lin Xiao left, the statue of the Holy Emperor collapsed with a crash, and the entire stone chamber seemed to have lost its last strength, and was completely buried in the earth and rocks under the attack of the fixed soul tool.

The space rippled slightly, and Lin Xiao's figure appeared in the passageway. The ground beneath his feet was covered with fallen sand and dust, and the smell of soil filled his nostrils.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiao's expression changed drastically.

The stone chamber containing the statue of the Holy Emperor was different from other parts of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters; it was much more solid. Only after leaving the stone chamber did Lin Xiao realize that the attack that had struck the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters was far beyond his expectations.

To deal with the Holy Spirit Cult, Xu Tianran did not hesitate to use level nine fixed-position soul tools, and not just one.

Lin Xiao sighed inwardly. The Holy Spirit Cult helped Xu Tianran and his son seize the throne, and then helped Xu Tianran secure his position as crown prince. Zhongli Wu had made countless schemes, but he never expected that before the Holy Spirit Cult could even make a move, Xu Tianran would betray them first.

Even if the Shrek Academy members hadn't arrived earlier, the Holy Spirit Cult disciples who remained at headquarters would likely have had a hard time surviving a level-nine soul tool.

"boom--"

The ground shook again, and the third loud bang rang almost right next to Lin Xiao's ears. Above his head, the earth seemed to collapse at this moment, and large chunks of soil and rocks fell on Lin Xiao, only to be bounced away by the soul power around him.

Staying here any longer will only result in us being buried.

As the thought flashed through Lin Xiao's mind, his cloak billowed around him, and the Styx Embrace on his body shone brightly, with streaks of dark red light flowing along the dark patterns on its surface.

At the same time, one after another soul-guided cannons appeared out of thin air beside Lin Xiao, their emanating light faintly connecting with the dark red patterns on the River Styx.

In the next instant, dazzling light condensed at the muzzle, and all the soul-guided cannons seemed to merge into one. With a roar, a beam of light shot out from beneath the ground.

On the ground, the Demon Forest had been completely transformed. Three level-nine soul-guided cannons had razed half of the Demon Forest to the ground, and the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters was buried, unrecognizable from its original state.

Outside the forest, a fully armed army is steadily approaching, wary of the evil spirit masters who may escape from the forest.

"Attention everyone, be on alert!" At the front of the army, Prince Xu Tianyuan of the Sun Moon Empire, dressed in bright yellow armor, waved his right arm, and the army behind him received the order to spread out to both sides, gradually encircling the Demon Forest.

Just then, a dark red beam of light burst forth from the ground, and the next moment, everyone saw a gray figure rush into the air and stand in mid-air.

"His Highness has ordered: leave no survivors! Everyone, attack immediately!"

As the voice faded, countless rays of light of various colors streaked towards the figure in the sky.

Lin Xiao used the array of floating cannons to blast open the ground, but as soon as he flew into the air, he felt a slight twitch between his eyebrows, and his body's instincts kept warning him.

Turning around, he saw thousands of figures densely packed around the eastern side of the Demon Forest, all of them holding soul-guided devices aimed at him, the muzzles of which were already glowing with blinding light.

Xu Tianran truly went to extremes.

A thought flashed through Lin Xiao's mind, and he only had time to glance at his surroundings before he was completely enveloped by attacks from various soul tools.

Xu Tianyuan frowned slightly as he looked at the figure in the air.

Logically speaking, he led the strongest of the four Beast King-level Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire, the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps. Even a Title Douluo would not be able to escape unscathed from such an attack.

But in his perception, the aura of the person in the air did not fluctuate at all, as if the attack of the Soul Master Corps had not landed on him.

"Cease attack!"

A sense of unease flashed through Xu Tianyuan's mind, and he raised his hand to stop the Soul Master Corps' attack.

Just as the light dissipated in the air, Xu Tianyuan's expression suddenly changed.

There was no trace of the figure in the air, only a door that had appeared out of nowhere. The Soul Master Corps' attack fell into the door and was banished somewhere, without hitting the person at all.

Although the Necropolis has been absorbed by Lin Xiao, and the Gate of the Dead necromancy can no longer lead to the Necropolis or directly summon undead, it is still a very effective defensive measure.

Despite the large number of attacks from the Soul Master Corps, as long as they did not exceed the limit that the Gate of the Dead could withstand, their attacks would not reach Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the army on the ground. He was familiar with the style of their equipment, and he could even tell that the materials of those soul tools were not the common single metal.

The alloy technology that he first proposed unexpectedly ended up affecting him one day.

Looking around, a sense of unease crept into his heart. The Demon Forest wasn't just home to the Holy Spirit Cult; the Evil Emperor, ranked second among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, was also here. Yet, despite the Demon Forest being attacked by a level-nine fixed-position soul tool, it remained completely unmoved.

Did they secretly make some kind of deal with Xu Tianran? Or did something else happen?

Lin Xiao had no idea, nor did he have time to think about it. At this moment, he still had to face the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Group, the head of the four Beast King-level Soul Master Groups of the Sun Moon Empire.

Looking at the dark mass of troops in the distance, Lin Xiao's two gray spirit rings pulsed slowly. Behind him, Ilex's figure was incredibly solid, and as he waved his staff, the two gray spirit rings lit up one after the other.
