Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 244 The Strange Evil Soul Master

Nan Qiuqiu pointed her right hand towards the sky, and dark red scales grew from her fingertip. Although they were also dragon scales, the ones that grew on her body were completely different from those on Xu Shenshu's.

The pink scales were crystal clear. As the scales extended, her entire right hand seemed to turn into a piece of pink crystal. A pale pink flame lit up and instantly burned away the sleeve of her right arm, revealing the entire arm that was completely covered by scales.

Then she pointed in the direction of the female evil spirit master, her first spirit ring lit up, and a pink beam of light shot straight towards the female evil spirit master.

First Soul Skill: Annihilation Light.

The pink light traversed dozens of meters, bypassing Xu Shenshu and arriving in front of the female evil spirit master first.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit rings rose from beneath the female evil spirit master's feet, and her entire being changed as her martial spirit was released.

At the same time, her third spirit ring lit up.

Her body suddenly felt somewhat surreal, as if her entire body was not real.

Nan Qiuqiu's pink light of annihilation passed directly through the female evil spirit master's illusory body without causing any damage.

A fiery red light flashed from the female evil spirit master's body. It was a short sword, which looked to be only about 1.2 feet long. The hilt was hidden from view as she was holding it, but the blade was quite peculiar.

Unlike ordinary short swords that emphasize dexterity, this short sword of the female evil spirit master is as wide as a palm, with a very short and thick blade, engraved with gorgeous patterns, and its material is unknown.

The blade itself was dark red, but at this moment its surface was radiating a crimson light. The two-foot-long blade aura flickered erratically, like a raging flame ready to devour its prey.

As soon as the blade was drawn, the surrounding air instantly became scorching hot. The female evil spirit master's body, which already appeared somewhat ethereal, became even more ethereal as the heat from the short blade caused ripples to spread through the air.

The short sword instantly transformed into a dazzling rainbow, its two-foot-long blade light instantly expanding to ten feet. The moment the sword was drawn, the female evil spirit master's body completely disappeared into the blade light, becoming one with the sword, and directly slashed towards Xu Shenshu.

At that moment, the fan-shaped blade of light that instantly appeared in the air was like the rising sun. Whether it was speed, strength, attributes, or the soul tool in his hand, he had reached the peak of a five-ring Soul King.

Let alone his current state of insufficient soul power and weakness, even Xu Shenshu in his prime would suffer a great loss from this attack.

A crimson blade, over ten feet long, streaked across the air with a large expanse of red light as it passed Xu Shenshu, and the figure of the female evil spirit master appeared behind him.

Xu Shenshu's pupils rolled back, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud. He struggled to crawl toward the female evil spirit master, grabbed her legs with both hands, and weakly called out to Nan Qiuqiu, "Big Sister, run!"

The female evil spirit master impatiently raised her knife hilt and slammed it down on the back of Xu Shenshu's head. Xu Shenshu collapsed to the ground without uttering a sound, but even so, his hands still did not release the female evil spirit master's legs.

Seeing Xu Shenshu lying motionless on the ground, Nan Qiuqiu was instantly enraged. "Bastard, die!"

A sharp dragon's roar rang out, accompanied by a sudden jolt from her body. A blurry pink light flashed past behind her.

Nan Qiuqiu transformed into a pink streak of light and rushed towards the female evil spirit master.

Although her martial soul, the Rouge Dragon, is skilled in ranged attacks, she was afraid of accidentally injuring Xu Shenshu, so she rushed forward to prepare for close combat.

At this moment, the female evil spirit master also broke free from Xu Shenshu's hands, and her first and second spirit rings shone brightly one after another.

Her figure split in two. She had transformed into three people, each appearing ethereal. The three figures simultaneously wielded soul tools, and three crimson beams of light slashed towards Nan Qiuqiu at the same time.

Nan Qiuqiu did not dodge either, but raised her right hand. Her second spirit ring shone, and her whole body emitted a layer of pink light, with the pink in her palm being even more intense.

Annihilation Protection. Annihilation Protection that can resist all elemental damage.

The three crimson sword lights were actually swallowed up by the pink light emanating from Nan Qiuqiu's body.

At the same time, Nan Qiuqiu made a grasping motion with her left hand, and her fourth spirit ring lit up. Instantly, a huge pink dragon claw appeared in the void, heading straight for the female evil spirit master.

Fourth Soul Skill: Hand of Annihilation

The Hand of Annihilation, as its name suggests, is a giant hand conjured from intense annihilating light. Once captured by it, one's soul power is destined to be consumed. With Nan Qiuqiu's current cultivation level, any soul master below the fifth ring who is hit by her Hand of Annihilation will have at least half of their soul power drained.

The three female evil soul masters appeared. One of them lit up her first soul ring and retreated rapidly as her speed increased, leaving the attack range of the Hand of Annihilation. The other two figures were caught by the Hand of Annihilation, whose soul power was drained and they turned into specks of light and disappeared.

The female evil spirit master appeared where Xu Shenshu was, carrying him in one hand, and said to Nan Qiuqiu, "You'd better hurry, they're catching up soon."

Nan Qiuqiu paused. Although she didn't know why this female evil spirit master wanted to let her go, she was sure there was a conspiracy. She looked at the female evil spirit master warily and said, "Give him back to me."

The female evil spirit master shook her head and said, "That won't do. I still need him to report to my superiors. Don't worry, your companions are not dead. The superiors have ordered that they be captured alive. Besides, you can't escape with him. You might as well find someone to rescue them. That's all I have to say. Good luck."

After saying that, the female evil spirit master picked up Xu Shenshu and flew into the sky using a flying soul tool.

Nan Qiuqiu looked at the female evil spirit master's figure with resentment, but she also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know if what the female evil spirit master said was true or false, at least her companions still had hope of living. If she could, she was willing to believe the female evil spirit master's words that her companions were still alive, instead of having already sacrificed themselves.

Nan Qiuqiu transformed into pink light and shadow once again and disappeared into the valley.

Her mother and companions were waiting for her to find someone to rescue her; she was their last hope and absolutely had to escape back to Longcheng.

The female evil spirit master carrying Xu Shenshu led him to the other evil spirit masters who had followed closely behind.

Seeing the female evil spirit master descending from the sky, the Evil Spirit Emperor, known as the Second Brother, looked grim and said, "Holy Servant Number Six, what's going on? Why is there only one person? Where is the other one?"

The female evil spirit master known as Holy Servant No. 6 hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Second Holy Spirit, the person in my hands fought desperately to stop me, but I dared not go all out, in case I accidentally killed him. So the other one escaped, but her soul power has been exhausted, and she probably doesn't have much fighting power left."
