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

Chapter 78 The Sixth Soul Ring
As time passed, the blood mist around him gradually dissipated. After the Evil Emperor had enjoyed his blood meal, the overwhelming pressure gradually disappeared, and the disciples of the Holy Spirit Sect also woke up.

Zhongli Wu and several elders slowly saluted in the direction the Evil Emperor had disappeared, then led the others away. Soon, it was as if nothing had happened here, with only a few inconspicuous drops of blood stained the surrounding trees.

When everyone returned to the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, the sun's rays could already be vaguely seen on the horizon. Although the Evil Emperor had long since disappeared, the Demon Forest was still silent. The soul beasts here could sense the Evil Emperor's aura better than humans.

"I still need to discuss matters within the sect with a few elders. You're lucky. The Sect Leader personally asked for a soul beast for you. Go back and absorb it."

Inside the headquarters, Sleepy Nightmare Douluo spoke in a sinister tone. Although his voice hadn't changed much, Lin Xiao, having known Sleepy Nightmare Douluo for a long time, could still detect a slight difference in his tone from usual.

The soul beast in his hand had almost stopped breathing. Lin Xiao knew that it would die soon, so without saying anything, he turned and walked towards the disciple's residence.

After turning a corner, Lin Xiao glanced back and saw Sleepy Nightmare Douluo and Ten Thousand Souls Douluo walking together, their backs slowly disappearing into the passage.

After witnessing the sacrifice with his own eyes, Lin Xiao realized that the relationship between the Evil Emperor and the Holy Spirit Church was not as simple as allowing the Holy Spirit Church to freely enter and exit the Demon Forest. On the contrary, the relationship between the Evil Emperor and the Holy Spirit Church was closer than he had expected.

This was the first time Lin Xiao saw the Evil Emperor awake, but twenty years before the Evil Emperor fell asleep, no one knew what kind of deal the Holy Spirit Church had made with it or what it had gained from it.

"Bang-"

The door of the stone chamber slammed shut. Lin Xiao raised his hand and threw the 50,000-year-old lizard-like soul beast to the ground. He then shook his hands to wipe off the mucus on them.

I don’t know what changes have taken place in the skin of this soul beast, but it has become slippery because of the mucus. Lin Xiao has changed hands several times along the way.

Seeing that it would not live for much longer, the light of the storage soul guide in Lin Xiao's hand flashed, and a dagger appeared in his hand. With a "swish", it pierced into the soul beast's head.

The soul beast struggled violently, its limbs waving continuously, but soon the frequency of the waving slowed down.

Lin Xiao looked at the soul beast on the ground, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected that this soul beast not only looked similar to the Evil Emperor's tentacles, but also felt similar when pierced, soft and spongy, as if it had no bones.

Seeing that it stopped struggling, Lin Xiao knew that it would not be long before its soul ring would appear, so he sat aside and let the soul power in his body calm down.

Raising his right palm, the red spider lily blossomed in his palm. Without opening his eyes, Lin Xiao communicated with his spirit and martial soul, and instantly felt countless residual souls wandering in the pistil.

One of the figures wasn't aimless like the other remnant souls, but instead was dashing around with full energy. Seeing this, Lin Xiao smiled slightly, then shifted his consciousness aside.

There, the assassin's soul was standing quietly, waiting for Lin Xiao's order.

With a thought, the assassin's soul in the pistil disappeared instantly. Instead, a figure appeared in Lin Xiao's sea of ​​consciousness, moving forward slowly as if by instinct.

The soul and mental power are not exactly the same, but there are some similarities. This assassin is good at hiding his body, and now that he has become like this, it is even more difficult for others to notice him.

In addition to some soul masters who are good at mental power and soul, using it to deal with enemies often has unexpected effects. It would be better to "make" some more when there is a chance in the future.

The soul power in Lin Xiao's body has completely calmed down. Feeling the soul he is controlling, he suddenly realized that something is wrong.

Logically speaking, the spirit ring of that spirit beast should have appeared by now. Lin Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the ground. The lizard-like spirit beast was still lying in the same spot, but its head was smooth. There was no trace of the dagger that had pierced it earlier.
Instead, blood continued to flow out of the long tail, spreading across a large area on the ground.

Lin Xiao looked at it carefully and his eyes narrowed slightly.

No wonder he felt no bone resistance after the dagger pierced his head. It was obvious that the dagger did not penetrate the vital part.

Is this instinct? But how did it hide it from my eyes?

Lin Xiao thought secretly in his heart, and the dagger in his hand appeared again. He chose the right time and stabbed it down suddenly.

However, at this moment, the soul beast's body suddenly bounced up from the ground, and its body instantly split into two and ran away to the left and right. A large pool of blood splashed towards Lin Xiao, blocking his vision.

Lin Xiao's eyes changed. He ignored the blood flying towards him and quickly turned his head to look at the door. He raised his wrist and a dark red light fell towards the empty space.

The next moment, the soul beast's body actually crashed straight into the Seed of the Other Shore shot by Lin Xiao.

If this soul beast was in its prime, it would probably be able to sense Lin Xiao's movements. However, even Lin Xiao would not have it easy facing a 50,000-year-old soul beast.

But since it was brought here by the Evil Emperor, it was already in a dying state. Even though it had just escaped a fatal blow with its unknown ability and took the opportunity to pretend to be dead to recover some strength, it was still no match for when it was intact.

The Seed of the Other Shore sank into the soul beast's body. Following a shrill cry, its body was tightly bound by several branches and leaves that spread out from its body, and it fell to the ground again.

Lin Xiao then raised his hand to wipe the blood off his face, and his eyes fell on the huge tail beside him.

After staring for a while, he turned around to look at the soul beast, only to find that there was nothing behind it, as if it had never had a tail.

The soul beast's methods were truly miraculous. If Lin Xiao hadn't predicted its escape direction in the Holy Spirit Cult's room, it would have already escaped.

Looking at the surface of the soul beast again, the black and white skin has become wrinkled, and the flesh and blood underneath is constantly flowing away. Instead, the branches and leaves growing on its body are becoming more and more lush, and soon several bright red flowers of the other shore bloom.

Lin Xiao stood there motionless until a dark soul ring slowly rose up, and then he felt relieved.

Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged next to the soul beast, and with a pull of his soul power, the soul ring floated towards Lin Xiao.

Sticky.

This was Lin Xiao’s first feeling.

This wasn't his first time obtaining a spirit ring, but it was somewhat different from the previous times. Because his martial spirit, the martial spirits he had previously absorbed were all related to death, every time he absorbed a spirit ring, he felt nothing but silence and death.
