Douluo Continent: What do you mean this is the Holy Spirit Cult?

On the main road of a southern coastal city of the Sun Moon Empire, Qi Li was running along the road with other evil soul masters of average strength.

The Holy Spirit Church does not have any tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.

There is only the rule of the strong.

Powerful evil spirit masters can use flying soul tools to fly directly to the vicinity of Marseille City.

However, those evil soul masters who were not strong enough to use flying soul tools had no choice but to set off on foot.

Forget about taking a horse-drawn carriage or anything like that.

Even Qi Li, a disciple of Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, had to obediently follow the main force and run away.

Running all the way from the Demon Forest to the southern coastal region of the Sun Moon Empire was not an easy experience.

If it weren't for the amplification brought by the omnipotent soul power and the bone dragon martial soul, Qi Li would have fallen behind long ago.

According to the weaker members of the Holy Spirit Cult, falling behind means missing out on even the best food.

However, compared to Wang Xiaolei and Gu Yu, Qi Li's situation is quite good.

Yes.

The seeds who had gone through the trials with him also participated in this training.

It wasn't just Wang Xiaolei and Gu Yu. Lu Genggeng was there too, just like Tang Dai.

However, Tang Dai became increasingly taciturn compared to before, and Qi Li did not receive a response when he greeted him.

Long-distance running is not without its benefits. It allows Qi Li to feel that his soul power and body are becoming more and more in sync, and he will no longer experience situations where he loses control after his soul power has increased rapidly.

In addition, he would secretly hone his talent soul skill, Devouring Heaven and Earth, to provide himself with extra logistical support. Therefore, he was among the top-ranked among the weaker evil soul masters who were unable to use flying soul tools.

However, sometimes being at the top isn't necessarily a good thing.

After receiving supplies from the Sun Moon Empire, Qi Li and Tang Dai planned to find a small village to borrow a pot and cook a proper lunch for the two of them.

However, when they entered a small village in the rebellion zone officially designated by the Sun Moon Empire, all they saw were ruins.

Yes, ruins.

Crops are still grown on the land surrounding the village, and there are even traces of human life within the village itself.

There wasn't a single living person in sight.

Even Qi Li, now a demonic spirit master, felt a chill run down his spine at such a bizarre scene.

However, as the two of them continued to wander through the village, they discovered why the village had become a dead village.

Traces of human life can be found in other rooms throughout the village, and not just traces.

There were also corpses.

Some of the corpses had lost all their flesh and blood, leaving only shriveled skeletons.

Some corpses were reduced to bones, while others were reduced to nothing more than heads that had been pried open.

"Leech Martial Soul, Ghoul Martial Soul, Marrow-Eating Insect Martial Soul. All are Evil Soul Masters."

Qi Li felt nauseous and lost the idea of ​​a picnic.

The prosperity of the many villages encountered along the way contrasted sharply with the desolate and lifeless state that had emerged after the Holy Spirit Cult's intervention.

Neither of them was in a good mood and they were planning to go back.

As it happened, they encountered other members of the Holy Spirit Cult at that moment.

The other person was wrapped in a blood-stained black robe, and his face was full of sinister smiles.

"Didn't expect there to be some who slipped through the net?"

Qi Li and Tang Dai exchanged a glance.

Their black robes, belonging to the Holy Spirit Corner, were extremely conspicuous, and they even wore insignia belonging to the Holy Spirit Church.

Anyone who isn't blind can probably see the symbols of the Holy Spirit Cult on their bodies.

In other words, the other party deliberately wanted to harm them.

Without any hesitation, Qi Li and Tang Dai were ready to use their strongest methods to deal with this unknown evil spirit master in front of them.

However, this evil spirit master's performance was even worse than they had imagined.

The evil spirit master began to secrete a thick, transparent mucus. When the mucus covered his skin, it turned his skin dark brown. In addition, his hands had now turned into blood-sucking mouths with barbs.

Two yellow spirit rings were hovering behind him.

A second-ring Grand Soul Master level evil soul master.

This time, Qi Li wasn't too nervous; in fact, he relaxed.

The other person was much older than them, looking to be in their teens. But even now, they were only a second-ring Great Soul Master.

This means that the opponent's talent as a demonic spirit master is also quite ordinary.

Although the soul ring configuration was good, it was not enough to make Qi Li and Tang Dai feel any sense of crisis.

However, it is clear that this evil spirit master with the leech martial spirit does not think that way.

After secreting mucus from his body, he actually chose to lie down, and with his feet on the ground, he quickly slid towards Qi Li and Tang Dai like an arrow.

The opponent's current display is indeed surprising. They haven't shown any signs of being at a disadvantage in terms of speed. On the contrary, their current speed, at least in terms of linear acceleration, is definitely not inferior to that of an agility-type Soul Master.

However, when faced with the attack, Qi Li didn't even think twice before meeting it head-on with his hand.

During this process, a deep yellow spirit ring appeared behind him, and his right hand was directly wrapped in incredibly hard bones, like beautiful jade.

Bone Dragon Martial Soul Possession!

Dragon Transformation!

The blade on the leech spirit master's hand stopped abruptly when it touched the bone dragon claw. No mark was left on the bone dragon claw, but a large piece was broken off from the leech's mandibles.

The evil spirit master with the leech martial spirit was then jolted awake from the pleasure of killing.

"You're also from the Holy Spirit Cult, right? Looks like the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. I know a secluded little mountain village that hasn't been visited by the first group of people. It can definitely greatly enhance our strength."

Qi Li did not speak, and Tang Dai did not respond.

The evil spirit master with the leech spirit already knew their thoughts, and both of his spirit rings immediately lit up.

The hand that Qi Li had grabbed had become completely supple and boneless, and barbs on its mouthparts grew rapidly, with countless barbs around it.

Qi Li did not react to this change, but dark red flames ignited in his hands again.

In an instant, the smell of burning filled the air, and as the dark red flames burned brighter and brighter, the sounds of pain and wailing emanating from the air became increasingly piercing.
