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

Chapter 38 Moon

In just a moment, the dagger transformed from the soul bone had pierced into the third brother's chest. Lin Xiao could feel a warmth coming from the palm of his hand, and then five soul rings rose around him.

As the first soul ring flickered, the blood in the third brother's body instantly turned into seeds of flesh and blood and flew out. The third brother's body was riddled with holes in the blink of an eye, and the other three also stopped in their tracks under the sudden attack.

It was only at this moment that Lin Xiao slowly raised his head and looked at the people around him.

I have to say that these people cooperated very well. The third one's attack from behind attracted the target's attention, and the others attacked the hands and feet at the same time to hinder the target's movements. If someone else attacked the head and throat at this time, even if the target could react, he would inevitably be injured.

If the weapons in their hands were poisoned, the effect would be even better.

It was no wonder they dared to attack suddenly. This series of attacks would be difficult for even a spirit master with a higher cultivation level than them to cope with.

Unfortunately, after the fifth of the brothers was killed by Sleepy Nightmare Douluo, they had no chance to adjust this tactic. Even though they cooperated well, the lack of the last step prevented Lin Xiao, who was well prepared, from reacting.

Perhaps these people did not expect that Lin Xiao would act so decisively. In one encounter, the brothers who had been together day and night died. The rest of the people did not dare to step forward for a while.

"You guessed right, I am indeed an evil soul master." Lin Xiao slowly stood up.

"So I know where the residual smell on you comes from. The bloody smell doesn't come from soul beasts, but from humans. I'm quite curious, why do you, who help other soul masters obtain soul rings, have such a strong smell on your bodies?"

The burly man didn't reply. He glanced around and then turned to stare at Lin Xiao. "Don't waste your time talking to him. We'll die if we leave here, and we'll die if we stay here. We might as well fight him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the burly man took the lead and rushed towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao tapped his feet lightly and quickly retreated. He knew that although his left arm bone made up for his shortcomings in close combat, it was clear that maintaining a certain distance from his opponent would better unleash his abilities.

The scenery around him changed rapidly. He stretched out his hand and a residual soul floated up from the third brother. The soul ring beside Lin Xiao lit up again, and the invisible soul seed cut through the air and flew towards the few people. The next moment, Lin Xiao's movements suddenly stopped.

Unfamiliar scenes flashed before his eyes, and a mixture of sadness and joy rose from his heart. He had never seen those things before, yet it was as if he had experienced them firsthand, and clear memories emerged before his eyes.

He quickly came to his senses and looked at the three strong men again, only to find that they were all standing there in a daze.

Lin Xiao reacted instantly and realized that what he saw was not his own experience, but the memories of the people in front of him.

Just like the power of flesh and blood that can devour the opponent's body, the soul seed devours their souls and their memories.

Scenes that were hard for them to forget or that they did not want to mention reappeared before their eyes uncontrollably.

This was the first time that Lin Xiao had used the soul abilities of his Higanbana martial spirit since he broke the restriction imposed by Nightmare Douluo. He had originally just wanted to see if there was any difference from before, but he hadn't expected the effect to be so obvious.

The unrestricted mental power was more closely connected with the red spider lily. He was about to take this opportunity to try out several other soul skills when his face suddenly changed.

The aura of other soul masters could be faintly heard in the distance, probably attracted by the fluctuations of the battle just now.

With a rapid thought, Lin Xiao suddenly raised his arm. As a beam of intense white light shot out from the soul-guided cannon, a hole instantly appeared in the bodies of the three people lost in their memories, and they fell straight down. Lin Xiao took a step forward, squatted down next to the third brother, and just as he raised his hand, he suddenly stopped, slightly raising his head to look upwards.

This is the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. Compared to the inside, the trees are a little sparse, and the intertwined branches and leaves do not completely block the night sky. The moonlight is falling on the ground through the gaps.

Beneath the moonlight, a slender figure stood at the end of the treetops. The slender branches beneath his feet curved only slightly. Behind him, a full moon hung in the sky, its cool light pouring down like a waterfall, outlining a clear silhouette.

Facing the moonlight, Lin Xiao could not see the man's appearance clearly. He could only see that the man's long hair was tied behind his back, and a few strands of hair broke free and fluttered gently in the night breeze.

With a light tap, the branches under his feet swayed slightly, and the figure fell in front of Lin Xiao in an instant. The bright moonlight became brighter with her arrival.

"meet again."

Hearing the person speak, Lin Xiao slowly stood up and smiled, "Yeah, what a coincidence, we meet again."

The smile on his face remained unchanged, but the flow of soul power in his body did not slow down at all.

At such a close distance, Lin Xiao recognized the person coming. It was Zhang Lexuan, whom he had met several times before. Although he was familiar with her, Lin Xiao hoped that the person coming was not her.

He knew very well the attitude of Shrek Academy towards evil soul masters. He didn't know what Zhang Lexuan would think when she saw the scene before her, nor did he know whether she had heard the conversation with those people before, but he was mentally prepared to take action at any time.

However, Zhang Lexuan just glanced at Lin Xiao, then squatted down as well, looking through the bodies of those people without any precautions, letting the blood stain her fingers red.

"I came here to hunt down these few of them."

As if confirming their identities, Zhang Lexuan spoke softly.

"They are a group of people who specialize in helping other spirit masters hunt for spirit rings."

"Yeah, I heard about it when I was talking to them before." Lin Xiao nodded, moved a little closer, and looked at Zhang Lexuan's defenseless back.

"Then do you know that their offer is very low?"

Ok?
It was not Lin Xiao's first day out, and he quickly understood what Zhang Lexuan meant.

Helping other spirit masters to hunt spirit rings was no easy task, and fighting spirit beasts always carried some risks. Furthermore, this was the Star Dou Great Forest, where any kind of mishaps were commonplace. It was like running a business with your head on your hip.

Therefore, the price of helping other soul masters to hunt soul rings has always been not cheap, and the reason why they asked for a low price was obviously because of other reasons.

Zhang Lexuan stood up and looked around before turning her attention to Lin Xiao. "Soul masters who hire these people to help them hunt for spirit rings generally don't have any powerful forces behind them, nor do they have any long-term teammates."

"Besides, they're attracted to them because they're cheap, which shows that their family conditions aren't good. Even if someone like that disappears in the Star Dou Great Forest, not many people will care."
