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

Chapter 39 The Old One is Coming
Lin Xiao began to understand how their smooth movements came about.

If they bring their employers into the Star Dou Great Forest and surround them under the pretext of protecting their employers, then even soul masters who are capable of resisting will be caught off guard and those soul masters who are food or auxiliary will have no chance of struggling.

Although he wasn't an evil spirit master, his actions were no different from those of an evil spirit master. No wonder they said leaving here would mean death; it turned out that someone from Shrek Academy was targeting him.

It was no wonder that just by killing the third brother, the other three were stunned for a moment. They were not experienced warriors, at most they were just used to bullying ordinary spirit masters.

"There are endless dangers in the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if one or two people disappear occasionally, not many people will care, right?"

Lin Xiao finished what Zhang Lexuan hadn't finished.

"Ah."

"This is a really... somewhat clichéd story."

"Have you seen many things like this?" Zhang Lexuan suddenly spoke.

Lin Xiao was slightly stunned upon hearing this. Whether in his past life memories or in the Holy Spirit Church, he had at least heard of such stories many times, if not seen them before. Even in a world like this, how could there be so many new things?

"But for the families of those spirit masters, one moment they might be happy because a talented spirit master has appeared in their family, and the next moment, they receive tragic news." Zhang Lexuan's eyes were somewhat dejected. "No one could have predicted what would happen next."

The moonlight illuminated Zhang Lexuan's soft profile. Lin Xiao stared at her, speechless for a moment. If it weren't for something else, the person before him would probably be happy for her talent along with her family.

If nothing unexpected had happened, perhaps even he himself would not have appeared in this world alone.

"Oh, they also have a fifth brother." Lin Xiao suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. "He's already been dealt with."

"Yeah." Zhang Lexuan nodded, "You..."

"Is Shrek Academy confident in letting you deal with these people on your own?" Lin Xiao seemed to have noticed what Zhang Lexuan was about to ask and quickly changed the subject.

After all, ordinary people would not appear in the dangerous Star Dou Forest if it were not for hunting soul rings.

"The academy also wants to train our ability to handle crises independently."

Lin Xiao listened to Zhang Lexuan's answer, but was wondering in his heart whether there were other people from Shrek Academy who were secretly protecting her.

If Zhang Lexuan had a Titled Douluo-level expert by his side, he might be able to leave the Holy Spirit Church with the help of Shrek Academy.

Although Shrek Academy had different opinions in his past life memories, it was undeniable that their attitude towards evil soul masters had remained unchanged. If they heard any news about the Holy Spirit Church, they would definitely be interested.

Moreover, with Moon in Shrek Academy, even the Holy Spirit Church can't do anything to them.

But if Zhang Lexuan really came out alone, not only would she be implicated in vain, but he would also not gain any benefit.

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Huh?" Lin Xiao came back to his senses. "I just feel like I didn't know your name after meeting you twice."

"My name is……"

Zhang Lexuan had just opened her mouth when a shrill scream rang out, covering up the rest of her words.

Lin Xiao's expression suddenly changed.

They hadn't sensed its presence along the way and originally thought it wasn't targeting them, but now it seemed the appearance of this hundred thousand year old soul beast was definitely related to the Ghost-Faced Owl that was captured by Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

The voice, seemingly capable of tearing through the darkness, came from behind. "Run!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao rushed forward.

Zhang Lexuan followed just as quickly, but how could the speed of these two soul masters compare to that of a hundred thousand year old soul beast?

The oppressive atmosphere was getting closer and closer, and the sound of trees being broken kept coming to my ears. A chaotic gust of wind blew up the fallen leaves that had accumulated in the forest for a long time.

Lin Xiao's face looked a little ugly. He didn't expect that even though he had already thrown the ghost-faced owl down, this soul beast still caught up with him.

Is it really holding a grudge? But it picked on the wrong person.

He looked back at Zhang Lexuan again, then suddenly moved closer and grabbed her wrist.

The next moment, in her somewhat surprised gaze, Lin Xiao's figure accelerated again.

Zhang Lexuan was about to say something, but was interrupted by the sudden huge pressure on her body.

The invisible air seemed to have substance, and a tremendous pressure fell on her from the front.

It was not until then that she could clearly see the beams of light gushing out from behind Lin Xiao.

In fact, not all soul engineers like to use soul guide propulsion devices. After all, soul engineers are not as strong as soul masters, and their physical strength is always worse. Therefore, not all soul engineers can withstand the pressure brought to the body by soul guide propulsion devices.

But the fact that it can bring pressure that ordinary soul masters cannot bear also reflects its powerful ability from another perspective.

When soul power poured into the soul guide thruster regardless of consumption, a dazzling light lit up from behind Lin Xiao, and even he himself could feel the body being torn apart under the tremendous pressure.

The fierce sound of the wind in his ears almost drowned out all other sounds. Occasionally, one or two trees blocking the road were broken by him before they could avoid him.

Although he is a Titled Douluo, he hides his figure and lets his disciples bear the wrath of a hundred thousand year soul beast. This Nightmare Douluo is really a good teacher of his.

The soul power in Lin Xiao's body was rapidly dissipating, and his mind was also full of thoughts.

If there is really a chance to get rid of this soul beast, at least after this incident, the soul-raising ceremony seems to be able to be delayed for a while.

but--

This hundred thousand year old soul beast has been around for so long and no one from Shrek Academy has shown up. Could it be that Zhang Lexuan really came out alone?

Just when Lin Xiao was thinking about whether to abandon Zhang Lexuan, her voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Fly out of the forest. I can stop it for a while. With the academy here, a hundred thousand year old soul beast won't easily appear outside the Star Dou Great Forest."

After all, she is the future senior sister of Shrek Academy. In just a short moment, Zhang Lexuan has become accustomed to the pressure brought by the rapid flight of the soul guide propulsion device. She used her soul power to create a layer of protective shield, and her voice was transmitted to Lin Xiao's ears.

Lin Xiao did not respond. He looked in the right direction and several more trees were broken in half by his impact.

A wave of soul power came from behind him, and Lin Xiao subconsciously became alert, but after thinking about it, he still didn't look back.

The next moment, a dazzling golden light lit up, and a dragon roar resounded throughout the Star Dou Great Forest.
