Douluo Dragon King: I'm creating a golden age behind the scenes!

Chapter 91 Soul-Guiding Train Assassin

Shen Xuanming's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, leaving only a dazzling blue afterimage and a deafening explosion that tore through the air. The next moment, he transformed into a blue lightning bolt and smashed through the partition door leading to the rear carriage in an extremely brute force!

The metal of the car door twisted violently, and a violent arc of electricity flashed across the path he had passed, leaving only a charred mark in the place where he had been.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingyu also used his mental power to quickly ascertain the battle situation in the carriage.

Under his perception, the bandits who attempted to control the other carriages were also instantly and without surprise killed by Shen Xuanming.

Before they could even scream or cry for help, their bodies were torn to pieces the instant the blue light flashed past!

Shen Xuanming moved nimbly through the narrow carriage, each flash of his presence accompanied by the complete disappearance of one or even more bandits, his efficiency chillingly high.

Only the leading Soul King seemed to be the first to sense the powerful aura emanating from Shen Xuanming. Before Shen Xuanming could reach him, he violently grabbed the nearest child who was crying loudly in fear and held him tightly to his chest!

At the same time, a small but dazzling soul-guided shield instantly appeared in his other hand, which he held in front of him, while his body shrank behind the child as much as possible.

"Don't come any closer!!" The Soul King leader's voice was distorted with extreme fear, yet it carried a near-desperate madness. "Take one more step, and I'll crush this child's head!!"

At this moment, the veins on his arm, which was gripping the child's neck, were bulging, and his fingernails even dug into the child's delicate skin, drawing blood.

The child's cries gradually weakened due to the intense suffocation. His face turned bluish-purple, and snot and tears covered his cheeks.

The Soul King leader's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the figure that had stopped at the end of the carriage, not daring to look away. His body trembled uncontrollably with intense fear.

He now knew what kind of being he was facing—a Soul Douluo!

He's still a Soul Douluo with a top-tier offensive martial soul!

With his strength, a direct confrontation would only lead to his death; the child in his hands is his only chance to survive.

Shen Xuanming's previously ferocious offensive could only be halted abruptly when he was less than ten meters away from the Soul King leader due to the presence of the hostage.

The situation reached a stalemate for a time.

Seeing the hostage in the hands of the bandit leader, Shen Xuanming dared not make any rash moves and began to look for other opportunities to launch a surprise attack.

But at this critical moment of stalemate, Shen Xuanming's sharp eyes, which had been fixed on the bandits, showed a change, as if he had received some information, and he began to adjust his movements.

Without any warning, his previously tense body suddenly and slowly began to take a step back! Then a second step! A third step!

This sudden concession caused the Soul King leader's tense nerves to relax abruptly!

Then, a surge of elation at surviving a catastrophe instantly rushed into his mind, which had been consumed by fear.

"Hahaha! Scared? Then come here, you son of a bitch!" The leader laughed hoarsely, his voice cracking from the extreme emotional turmoil. "So what if you're a Contra? You still have to listen to me!"

"Get me one!"

But just as he was trying to find a way to escape, his attention was completely drawn to Shen Xuanming's "concession," and for a moment, his mind was in turmoil and his spirits were relaxed—

"Crack—Boom!!!"

Suddenly, the window of the Soul Guidance Train closest to the Soul King leader shattered. As the shards broke, a deep blue sword aura, carrying a terrifying chill, pierced through the Soul Guidance shield on his right arm, severing both his arms.

At the same moment the sword energy severed his arms and ice shards flew everywhere, the figure that had been "retreating" earlier transformed into a streak of blue light and attacked him!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Xuanming lunged forward, snatched the child into his hand with lightning speed, and then slammed the child heavily onto the ground of the Soul Guidance Train with his other tiger paw, which was crackling with lightning.

"boom-!!!"

With a loud bang, the entire carriage shook violently! The originally sturdy carriage floor, covered with anti-slip alloy plates, was smashed open, leaving a clear human-shaped dent!

. . . . . .

With a long and steady whistle, the Soul Guidance Train finally came to a smooth stop at the Mingdu Soul Guidance Station.

As soon as the train doors opened, members of the Mingdu law enforcement team, who had already received the emergency notification and were on high alert, rushed forward.

They wore uniform dark gray with silver patterns and badges of the Mingdu Enforcement Team on their chests, and moved swiftly and in an orderly manner.

After learning about the situation, they took over the Soul King leader, who was like a tattered sack and barely clinging to life, from Shen Xuanming.

At this moment, the still-shaken train conductor, surrounded by a group of staff, led the passengers who had survived the ordeal over.

The train conductor, a kind-faced middle-aged man with slightly graying hair, now had reddened eyes and bowed deeply to Shen Xuanming, his voice choked with emotion: "Teacher Shen! We owe you so much! If it weren't for you—the consequences for everyone on this train would have been unimaginable! Thank you! Thank you!"

At that moment, the passengers behind him, whether students or ordinary travelers, all bowed in gratitude from the bottom of their hearts, their thanks overflowing.

Faced with everyone's gratitude, Shen Xuanming gave a gentle but slightly aloof smile. He waved his hand casually and said calmly, "It was just my duty, nothing more. Everyone was frightened; please contact your families as soon as possible to let them know you're safe."

But just as Shen Xuanming was having a brief discussion with the train conductor about the follow-up matters, Zhou Mingyu, who was waiting not far away, was startled, because at this moment, he suddenly sensed several extremely familiar aura fluctuations in his mental perception.

So he suddenly focused his mind and used his powerful perception to look directly at the clearest and most startling soul power fluctuation. He saw that behind the bustling crowd on the platform, in the shadow of the pillar near the exit, several figures were secretly leaving the train and trying to quickly pass through the security checkpoint. They seemed to be in a hurry to leave and did not want to expose their identities.

Although the distance was considerable and the pillars obstructed the view, Zhou Mingyu recognized them by the familiar aura of their bloodline. It was an extremely violent and surging aura of dragon bloodline. Apart from Long Yue—no, even Long Yue's aura couldn't compare to this aura. He had only ever seen this kind of true dragon bloodline aura at the Dragon King level on one other person: [Tang Wulin?!]

[I see! That explains it! It's not surprising at all!]

Thinking of Tang Wulin's nickname "Soul Train Killer," which was almost handpicked by the author in the original work, he finally understood why, even after the Soul Cleansing Operation, when evil soul masters were being largely eliminated, he could still encounter such an extremely rare event.

[The people around him must be Xie Xie and his group, but shouldn't they be participating in the inner court training at this time? What are they doing here?]
