Reincarnated as a demon from Douluo Continent, guarding peace in the human world.

Chapter 5 Xiao's Great Wish: Conferring the Title of Peerless National Hero

"Kid, you're really strong to be able to kill these people without using your soul skills..."

Poison Douluo flashed and appeared to Xiao's side.

His body was covered in a layer of keratinous armor, and nine soul rings pulsed, giving him powerful mobility.

Xiao looked at him calmly, but his hand reached for the Nuo mask at his waist.

It's clear that Poison Douluo is definitely not one of those weaklings he just killed.

With his karmic burdens about to erupt again, he must finish the fight quickly if he has to confront such a powerful opponent!

Only by using Nuo masks can one fully unleash their potential.

At that moment, Poison Douluo seemed to sense some kind of threat. His figure flashed and he retreated back to his original position, a few meters away from Xiao. He stared at Xiao with lingering fear.

Originally, I planned to use my Title Douluo-level strength to probe Xiao's true strength.

But when Xiao touched the mask on his waist, a strong sense of danger erupted from the bottom of his heart.

Poison Douluo immediately abandoned his plan to probe.

Some people can be tested, but others, once they take action, will likely find it difficult to back down.

Youth has its advantages, and Poison Douluo didn't want to fight Xiao, this reckless young man.

At least, he couldn't bring himself to kill seventy Soul Masters so easily at the banquet of the Heavenly Dou Emperor!

"Don't be nervous, I have no intention of risking my life for you."

Poison Douluo chuckled, his old face slightly flushed. He was somewhat embarrassed to have been forced back by a young man, and turned to Prince Xue Xing, saying, "Don't worry, he has no more killing intent. This should end here, right?"

Poison Douluo looked at Xiao with a half-smile. If the other party still refused to give up, then it would really be time for a fight.

Xiao took a deep breath. The karmic obstacles within him were like a furnace, scorching his body as if trying to squeeze out every last drop of moisture.

In this situation, even breathing became an unparalleled ordeal for him.

After scanning the room and finding no other obvious perpetrators of massacres, he shook his head and said, "For now, let's stop here."

Looking at the nobles with fear on their faces, he knew very well what was going on.

Although those people may not have killed innocent people with their own hands, the number of people who died indirectly at their hands is definitely not zero!

However, in this foreign land, he could not see those "demons" clearly.

That's why we need to come to the palace to find guidance.

With Poison Douluo's words and Xiao's admission, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Corpses littered the ground, blood gushing from them. What was supposed to be a joyous banquet had turned into a massacre, and the pool of blood was about to become a small lake.

Emperor Xueye clenched his fists. Xiao's behavior, so disregarding everyone else, was tantamount to defecating on the head of the Heaven Dou royal family!

Even though Xiao Zhen was a titled Douluo, he couldn't make Emperor Xue Ye swallow his anger.

Emperor Xueye said calmly, "Alright, let's end this farce! Stop lingering! Do you really think that Xiao Guoshi would attack me?"

Upon hearing this, the guards sprang into action, cleaning up the corpses and blood on the ground.

The palace soul masters dispersed their martial spirits, their eyes still fixed on Xiao with extreme vigilance.

Now, they all see Xiao as a dangerous element.

Prince Xuexing grimaced, looking at the six remaining Soul Masters with a pained expression. He wouldn't care if one or two died, but now there were six left...

That guy's a killer!

Prince Xuexing rubbed his face, mustered his courage, and approached Xiao. Looking at the corpse on the ground, he felt a chill run down his spine.

These are all powerful Soul Masters; as villains, their skills are naturally not bad.

Now they have all lost their lives.

"Xiao, you...you say it's for the innocent people they killed? Is that your purpose in coming to our Heavenly Dou Empire? What a noble dream."

Prince Xuexing's praise was insincere.

If this had happened before Xiao's rampage, he would definitely have dismissed it, thinking Xiao was out of his mind.

That's why they would go out of their way to serve a group of lowly people.

But now all he can do is praise.

Xiao nodded and said solemnly, "That's right, I promised someone that I would protect the people. Now that I've come to your foreign land, I still intend to fulfill that promise."

"..." Prince Xuexing smiled awkwardly, but in his heart he wanted to curse the person who made the agreement with Xiao.

Wouldn't it be better to make this kind of killer into a weapon?

They insist on playing these tricks of protecting the common people, which makes even these nobles tremble with fear!

The noble ministers all looked terrified upon hearing this.

Since they were all nobles, they naturally relied on exploiting their people to enjoy a good life, which naturally put them on the opposite side of Xiao.

For a moment, the nobles instinctively shrank back.

Xiao continued, "But I cannot see those demons that wreak havoc on the world; they reside in people's hearts. I need guidance, and that is what I hope to obtain from you."

"Alright... You are a national hero of our Heavenly Dou Empire, we will definitely cooperate with you!"

Prince Xuexing agreed without hesitation.

Xiao nodded. "Equivalent exchange, that's good. I will also help you resolve your troubles without going against my will. Also, there's something I hope you can let your people back home know..."

Xiao paused for a moment, feeling quite uncomfortable with having to say so much.

But this isn't Liyue after all, so these explanations are necessary.

"What did you say?" Prince Xuexing asked curiously.

"If you encounter difficulties such as being lost in the wilderness, being robbed on the road, being attacked by water, fire, or weapons, being harmed by ghosts, gods, or poisons, being attacked by ferocious beasts or poisonous insects, or being attacked by enemies or wicked people, then call upon my name."

The Three-Eyed, Five-Manifested Immortal—Xiao—heeds the summons and comes to protect.

Xiao said seriously.

"!!!" Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, this young man actually kept his word, not pledging allegiance to the Heavenly Dou royal family, but instead going to great lengths to take care of those lowly people.

If it weren't for the corpses scattered all over the ground reminding them, they would have burst into loud laughter by now.

Prince Xuexing and the others were focused on the "Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal".

Immortals...

The Douluo Continent doesn't have the concept of immortals, but judging from this description, Xiao shouldn't be as simple as a human.

Qian Renxue glanced at Xiao with surprise, a strong sense of admiration appearing in her eyes.

Xiao's grand ambition is actually most in line with the God of Angels.

In contrast, she believed that Xiao was more qualified than herself to be the successor of the Angel God!

"I will convey Xiao Guoshi's words."

"Alright, all the national heroes have been frightened. Xue Xing, take them to the National Heroes Academy first, we can discuss the rewards later..." Emperor Xue Ye said, rubbing his forehead.

"Yes, sir..." Prince Xuexing looked at the few Soul Masters who were still alive.

The few remaining Soul Masters were pale and needed help to stand up.

Seeing them, Prince Xuexing almost couldn't help but cry!

Xiao remained expressionless, and with his stunningly beautiful face, no one who didn't know the inside story would believe that he had just killed more than seventy people!
