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

Chapter 51 Pursuit
After a slight pause, the flying soul guide behind him flashed, and Lin Xiao rushed out again to pick up the falling orange.

Zhongli Wu has already taken action. According to his memories from his previous life, this second assassination attempt will not take Xu Tianran's life. He can't just watch the orange fall, otherwise, given Xu Tianran's character, he will inevitably hold a grudge against him.

Only when he picked up Orange did he realize that she was not in good condition.

The dagger that was originally intended to pierce Xu Tianran's body was not clean. In just a moment, the poison had spread throughout Orange's body.

Just now, Xu Tianran helped her protect her heart meridians, and she was able to hold on for a while, but now Xu Tianran herself could hardly protect herself, so how could she care about the orange? The poison had already corroded her internal organs.

"Um……"

Orange groaned, seemingly feeling some pain from the changes within her body. Lin Xiao glanced down and saw her eyes slowly opening.

The wound on her chest wasn't painful, but rather numb. Her limbs were cold, and she had no strength to move. She didn't see the expected Xu Tianran, but a familiar mask.

It was still that calm gaze, but for some reason it was not as cold as last night.

She wanted to say something, but the next moment, Lin Xiao's figure swayed, interrupting her again. After several attempts, she finally couldn't hold on any longer, her head tilted, and she passed out again.

Lin Xiao didn't mean to stop her from speaking, but he felt a sharp pain in his back. It wasn't real pain, but his keen mental power sensed the hidden danger.

He slightly turned sideways, and a cold light brushed past his body.

The battle between the Titled Douluo in the sky is still going on, and it seems that someone else has joined in, making Zhongli Wu unable to escape for a while.

Lin Xiao had already seen that, apart from Xu Tianran, this group of people also did not intend to let anyone else leave, and they would not even let him go even though his cultivation level was only that of a Soul King.

Fortunately, my cultivation level is not high, so the person who came to find me was just a Soul Sage.

After glancing around, Lin Xiao's soul power surged, and the light of the flying soul guide behind him flashed, carrying him straight to the ground.

Although the visitor was only a Soul Saint, he was able to stay in the air for a short time after all. Lin Xiao also had to be on guard against attacks on his flying soul guide at all times. The air was obviously not a battlefield that was favorable for him.

The killer was a little surprised to see that Lin Xiao was able to dodge his attack, but his body still chased after him again as if instinctively.

Two figures rushed to the ground one after another. The killer saw that his weapon was not far away from Lin Xiao, but the next moment, branches and leaves rose from the ground and stabbed towards his body in various parts.

The killer was suddenly startled and quickly adjusted his body. He looked at Lin Xiao again, and his pupils shrank instantly.

He actually saw five ten-thousand-year spirit rings on Lin Xiao. Although he looked like a Soul King, the number of ten-thousand-year spirit rings he had was more than that of a Soul Saint.

On the other side, Lin Xiaoke was not idle either. With his feet on the solid ground, he felt a little more at ease. Then, the second soul ring around him lit up with a black light.

The second soul skill, budding.

After the soul-raising ceremony, what changed was not only the color of his soul ring, but also the power of his soul skill. Although it was also his second soul skill, the difference between a ten thousand year soul skill and a hundred year soul skill was not small.

As the second spirit ring flashed, deep green branches and leaves instantly sprouted around him. The slender leaves were adorned with blood-red veins, like human blood vessels. Each branch and leaf seemed to possess intelligence, coiling around the assassin. Even before getting close, the assassin sensed the danger lurking within these branches and leaves. Although he didn't know what it was, his instincts told him he absolutely must not make contact with them.

Even with some precautions, it was not easy to completely avoid the Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill. The ground around Lin Xiao was already green, and lush branches and leaves completely surrounded him.

Seeing this, the assassin suddenly chuckled. He was only a Soul King after all. Although he didn't know why he had so many Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, the gap in his cultivation and vision meant that even with such a soul skill, he couldn't fully unleash its power.

With a step of his foot, the killer's figure appeared in the air with a smile on his face.

Boy, let me tell you today that when a soul master’s cultivation reaches a certain level, the battlefield is not just on the ground.

The soul power was activated, the soul ring shone, and the killer's figure disappeared in an instant.

As the distance grew closer, the mask on Lin Xiao's face became clearer and clearer. What made him a little uncomfortable was that there was no panic in Lin Xiao's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Lin Xiao raising his hands, and it seemed that something was passing by him.

Was he prepared for this? What was that attack just now?
As the thought arose in his mind, the next moment, the killer's figure suddenly stopped.

Completely contrary to the killer's expectations, Lin Xiao was not completely defenseless against the attack from the air. On the contrary, although he did not feel the same pressure from this killer as he did from the Titled Douluo just now, he was not careless at all.

From childhood to adulthood, Lin Xiao has experienced more actual combat than even this killer. He has experienced countless unexpected tactics, not only in the air, but also underground. He has been prepared for them.

The reason why the second soul skill was spread all over the ground was to lead him into the air.

Combat isn't just a test of strength; it's also a game of strategy. When facing a sneak attack killer, rather than being constantly on guard, it's better to proactively reveal your weaknesses and lure them into attacking.

If Lin Xiao's strength was also that of a Soul Saint, the killer would naturally not be so careless, but the difference in soul power levels made him somewhat negligent.

For Lin Xiao, this moment of negligence was enough.

The first and second soul rings around him lit up at the same time. Although he could not see the killer's figure, Lin Xiao could sense that his soul seed had already sunk into the killer's spiritual sea.

As the second soul skill was used again, scenes of past memories kept emerging, causing his mind to stagnate and his figure to emerge.

The next moment, countless branches and leaves flew up and tightly wrapped his body. It seemed like a breeze was blowing through the branches, or like something was swallowing. The blood-red veins on the branches and leaves became more dazzling, making Lin Xiao's skin look a little redder.

Lin Xiao's chest rose and fell, and he breathed lightly. Although his martial spirit could absorb the opponent's strength to reduce his own consumption, after such a long journey, and with the strength of a Soul King, he still consumed a lot of his soul power.

but--

Lin Xiao raised his hand slightly and looked at the red spider lily in his palm. Being able to kill a Soul Saint so easily, these costs were nothing.
