Douluo Continent: My plan to slay the gods has been exposed!

Chapter 91: Kill them all

"They've been staying at the academy training, training, training."

"It's nice to get out and about occasionally; you still get recognition for your service. Where else can you find something so relaxing?"

I accepted a simple escort mission. Not only could I get out and bask in the sun and feel the breath of freedom, but I could also shed my old shell and experience the latest Soul Armor. It's really not easy for such a good thing to happen to me.

Ning Xing walked in the middle of the group, squinting at the road ahead, his expression casual and relaxed.

The heavy helmet on his head had been stored in his soul tool, and the smaller soul armor parts on his body were all neatly worn, enough to deal with any unexpected situations. However, his long-standing training habits still made him maintain a special posture with his body slightly leaning forward.

He seemed to be casually observing the scenery, but in reality, his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings repeatedly, taking in everything he saw.

The guard team consisted of seven people, all equipped with the latest soul armor.

Ning Xing turned around and looked towards the middle of the group. The pampered young lady who used to be spoiled in the sect was sitting in a special wheelchair. A light-colored canopy on her head blocked the scorching sun, but it did not affect her from looking down at the huge, thick book in her hands. Even without anyone pushing it, the strange-looking wheels rolled forward on their own.

This strange group attracted the surprised looks of many passersby.

"Young Miss, we're almost at town. Are you tired? Would you like to rest for a while?"

The young man, who was smiling with his eyes narrowed, slowed down and quietly approached the sect's young lady. He smiled at the newcomer who was diligently guarding the side and said, "Falico, as a newcomer, you don't need to be so nervous. Go to the front of the team and get used to the scouting position. I'll take care of things here."

"Yes, Captain."

The recruit remained silent for more than two seconds before bowing his head and accepting the order.

"This kid isn't as simple-minded as he seems."

Ning Xing snorted twice: "Miss, you might not have noticed, but he's been secretly glancing at you at least thirty times along the way!"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

To be precise, it was forty-two times, but the frequency was so outrageous that not only did the others' eyes flicker with suspicion, but even Ning Xing, who was scouting ahead, noticed it.

"Let's talk about it later."

Ning Rongrong frowned slightly, but didn't seem to care much. She turned to the next page of the ancient relics treasured by the Spirit Hall, her eyes thoughtful, as if she had never noticed the changes around her.

"The young lady has already refused several times, and this insignificant fellow is so ungrateful?"

"Go back and replace him!"

Ning Xing turned to look at the young man walking at the front of the group, who was pretending to be calm, and suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

The young lady didn't deny it, continuing to read her book, which clearly meant she admitted it. "Then go back and replace that person. Don't make him stand guard for a few years, or he'll think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is easy to bully?"

Ning Xing smiled with his eyes narrowed as usual, silently adding that person to his blacklist in his mind.

But then his nose twitched slightly, his eyes suddenly changed, and he turned to look ahead, shouting, "Everyone, stop!"

The wheelchair stopped the instant Ning Rongrong touched the handle. The next moment, the girl stood up with a solemn expression, patted her long skirt, and the wheelchair and the ancient book in her hand disappeared at the same time.

The seemingly disorganized group instantly tightened, surrounding Ning Rongrong at the very center. The heavy helmet was immediately put on her head, and the colorless crystals inlaid on the new soul armor shone with a dazzling blue light under the infusion of soul power. All seven suits of armor were fully awakened at the same time.

Everyone stood at attention, their eyes fixed on the front with murderous intent. In an instant, the soul rings on all the guards appeared one by one, and they held all kinds of powerful weapons in their hands, all of which were weapon spirits!

"You ran into trouble on your first mission?"

The young man standing in front was both nervous and excited. He took a deep breath, raised his pale gold two-handed greatsword high, and the blurry lion's head on the hilt seemed to open its mouth and reveal its fangs at the same time. Invisible power rippled around his body, and when he lowered the sword, his movements instantly became more than twice as fast.

"Fifth Soul Skill - Blade Guardian!"

"Third Soul Skill - Glorious Charge!"

Holding a two-handed greatsword, he stood at the front of the group, a great shield to ward off danger, and a heavy sword to break through the enemy's defenses!

Behind him, Ning Xing, his face grim, had already swiftly put on his helmet. He opened his right hand, and on his palm, a seven-story, seven-colored tower floated and rotated continuously. The seven-colored light poured into him and then continued to spread outwards.

Holding a large shield, Cai Jiu silently guarded Ning Rongrong, while Dao Yu, with long purple hair, raised a crimson crossbow with one hand, looking ahead with a grin on his face but full of killing intent in his eyes.

But when the young man at the front saw his opponent, he panicked: "Hey, wait a minute, everyone stop, something's not right!"

When he saw a group of ragged travelers emerging from the woods ahead, Falec's pupils contracted. He desperately sheathed his giant two-handed sword and unleashed the power of his third soul skill, Berserk, onto the deserted ground, instantly blasting a huge crater into the earth!

"Everyone, don't make a move! This looks like a refugee who's been robbed!"

One, two, three.

His aura was fluctuating, his clothes were torn and stained with blood. He looked at the group of people who were in a particularly disheveled state as they walked out of the woods. When he saw the terrifying soul rings that appeared on the bodies of the people in front of him, he immediately raised his hands as if crying for his parents.

"Spare me! Spare me!"

"Gentlemen, we are not robbers!"

"We're just a bunch of pathetic traveling merchants!"

Seeing the sharp, hawk-like eyes and the overwhelming surge of soul power, the leading man's pupils shrank. He quickly grabbed the money pouch hanging from his waist, raised it high, knelt on the ground, bowed his head, and raised his arms, his voice exceptionally mournful.

"If you noble lords are willing to let us leave, our merchant guild is willing to do anything, even give you all our money!"

"Please, please don't take our lives!"

As if by prior arrangement, the moment the leader knelt down, a series of sobs came from behind. Several beautiful women who were guarding the carriage knelt on the ground. Because they were so nervous, their snow-white breasts along their necks were outlined by their trembling arms, quivering. The person in front of them, Faleco, stared wide-eyed.

"Miss Da Ning, this..."

He swallowed hard, then stiffly twisted his neck back to look at that perpetually indifferent face.

"Should we let them pass first?"

Ning Rongrong nodded: "Yes, kill them all."

"Okay, I'll go first."

Falico stepped aside, intending to let the merchant guild members, who looked like refugees, pass by. Suddenly, he stopped and stared wide-eyed at the still indifferent-looking girl.

"What did you say?"

"You heard me right, kill them all."

Ning Rongrong glanced at the caravan members, then lowered her head and picked up the enormous ancient book again, showing no intention of giving them a second look.

Falec's face stiffened, and even the kneeling guild leader stared at them in disbelief. A terrifying silence fell as silver-gray guard knights brandished their weapons and stood beside the young lady who was reading a book.
