Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 20—The Rakshasa Scythe and Electrolux

Qian Lingyun gently turned the long handle of the dark purple magic scythe in her hand. Under her deliberate drive, the scythe spun faster and faster, and the surrounding air was cut with a hissing sound.

With a whoosh, it exploded!

Qian Lingyun used her arm and wrist to fling the demonic scythe out of her hand like the blade of a circular saw, heading straight for the baboons!

The speed at which the Rakshasa Scythe spun was so astonishing that only a purple wheel could be seen with the naked eye. A piercing shriek rang out in the air, and the mournful cries of souls could be faintly heard within it.

"boom!"

After a deafening explosion, a terrifying shockwave rolled out to both sides.

These baboons' mortal bodies were like thin sheets of paper before the spinning Rakshasa scythe, easily sliced ​​in two, and then shredded into countless fragments by the sharp blade.

Raindrops formed from flesh and blood scattered from the sky, wetting the already reddish fur of the other baboons.

"Hehehe!" Qian Lingyun raised her right hand to cover half of her face. Under the influence of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, the purple mist surged violently around her.

Unconsciously, she was drawn to the resentment of the soul beast that had died not long ago. Qian Lingyun's delicate face turned slightly ashen, her lips were slightly purple, and her eyes were filled with a furious crimson.

At this moment, perhaps it was the former Rakshasa god using her body to give a sinister laugh.

"Chirp!" The baboon king seemed to sense something was wrong and let out a low growl of unease.

"Since you're all here, stay here! Burden of resentment!" Qian Lingyun took a few stiff steps forward, pointed her left finger at the baboon king, and a beam of purple light fell. The baboon king's huge body twitched twice, and it was imprisoned in place by the semi-transparent lion and phoenix in the air, one on each side.

Raising her hand, Qian Lingyun recalled the Rakshasa Scythe that was stuck in the corpse of a baboon, and walked step by step toward the leader of the Bloodtooth Baboons.

Along the way, many baboons came screaming from a distance to stop her, but without exception, they were all cut in half and became victims of Qian Lingyun's scythe.

Within a distance of less than two hundred meters, scattered baboon remains covered the grass, and hundreds of white, yellow, and purple soul rings drifted around.

Finally, Qian Lingyun chopped off the last baboon's hideous head and stopped in front of the baboon king. She gently placed her left hand on the baboon king's chest and whispered, "Now... only you are left!"

"Waaaaah... Chirp!"

A surprisingly human-like pleading glint flashed in the baboon king's eyes. It tried its best to make the softest and most pleasant sounds, chirping and whimpering to please the human in front of it.

Suddenly, an invisible spiritual wave covered every corner within a hundred miles in just one instant.

The baboon king, who had just been begging for mercy, suddenly narrowed his eyes and fell into a brief daze.

This mental shock is not very destructive, but it can render all living beings incapable of thinking for a short period of time.

With a ding, the Rakshasa Divine Armor on Qian Lingyun's head lit up slightly, passively flashing a dark purple light. With the help of the purple light, Qian Lingyun only felt a slight pain in her head before returning to normal.

"What's going on? Could it be..." Qian Lingyun seemed to have thought of something, and looked around suspiciously, only to find that at this moment, most of the southern part of the Star Dou Great Forest was eerily quiet.

Just then, the sky, which had been perfectly clear a moment before, suddenly darkened, and a thunderous roar resounded high in the sky. In that instant, the sunlight was completely obscured by darkness.

An immense, suffocating pressure descended from the sky, and the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in Qian Lingyun's hand seemed extremely angry, buzzing defiantly in its master's palm.

Circles of dark purple ripples spread outwards from it in all directions.

In the outer zone, the giant silkworm, which was trying to merge itself into the blue-haired boy's body, trembled violently when the thunderous roar rang out. Its two small golden eyes rolled upwards, looking at the mixing zone with a puzzled expression.

"This aura... it's so similar to those from ten thousand years ago! This is terrifying, we have to leave immediately!"

The fat silkworm's eyes immediately showed horror, and it quickly concealed its presence as if it did not exist.

A gray stream of air descended from the sky as if it had encountered a tremendous suction force. After circling around the silkworm's original spot and finding nothing, it changed direction and headed towards the place where the other fluctuation had just been emitted.

Clutching his throbbing head, he swiftly beheaded the baboon king, and the remaining baboons scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.

Qian Lingyun waved her hand to dispel the ten-thousand-year soul ring that was considered very valuable by outsiders. Just as she was about to sit down and catch her breath, a gray stream of energy suddenly shot into her forehead.

The gray current was initially swirling and shifting within Qian Lingyun's spiritual sea.

Suddenly, a purple, sickle-shaped divine emblem blocked its path.

A series of purple beams of light suppressed the gray cloud. The gray cloud immediately condensed into a gray bead the size of a soybean, and then fell silent.

"Huh? What's going on?!"

As they were talking, a very blurry figure appeared behind Qian Lingyun, and an old voice with an indescribable majesty rang out, "Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world. I never thought that I would still have a trace of my remnant soul left."

Upon hearing the voice, Qian Lingyun's lips twitched slightly. She pinched her arm in disbelief, and after feeling a distinct pain, she murmured, "This line... I know it so well! Isn't that the remnant soul of that great mage from another world?"

"Why didn't it go looking for that kid with the first spirit ring that's a million years old, but instead came looking for me!"

Thinking of this, Qian Lingyun scratched her head in confusion.

"Little girl, what are you saying?!"

Lost in thought, an aged voice echoed in Qian Lingyun's spiritual sea.

"Heh...it's nothing, I just like talking to myself," Qian Lingyun said with an awkward laugh, quickly making up an excuse for herself.

"Hehe, it's fine to like talking to yourself, but it's not good if you let desires and power cloud your judgment." The old voice grew deeper and deeper, making Qian Lingyun shudder.

She glanced blankly at the Rakshasa Demon Scythe still dripping blood in her hand, then at the mangled corpses of the soul beasts scattered on the ground, and subconsciously threw the Rakshasa Demon Scythe to the ground.

"Your heart isn't bad, but this force wants you to go astray. You still need to be careful!"

After speaking, the gray bead separated into wisps of white sparks, which began to purify the evil energy that had entered Qian Lingyun's body along her meridians.

"..."

Realizing the benefits of the flame, Qian Lingyun did not resist. Instead, she sat cross-legged and began to dispel the blood aura that clung to her body.

The Rakshasa Demon Scythe drank its fill of blood, which indirectly caused the Rakshasa deity within her body to become somewhat restless.

The negative emotions it governed also began to pollute Qian Lingyun's spiritual sea. Fortunately, with the help of the white flames scattered from the gray bead, Qian Lingyun was able to use her spiritual power to suppress the restless power of her divine position.

……

Far away on the Sun and Moon Continent, at the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Corpse Witch Douluo, who had been living in seclusion for six years, once again crawled out of his cave. However, this time, his movements were no longer as agile as before; instead, he appeared as a withered and exhausted man.

He struggled to poke his skull out of the cave and shouted to the black-clad guard at the gate, "Go find the leader! I've figured it out! The Rakshasa Saintess is in the Star Dou Great Forest..."

Before he finished speaking, the soul fire in the Lich King's skull was completely extinguished, and his pale skeleton turned into ashes in full view of everyone.

When Zhongli Wu arrived in a hurry, his clothes disheveled, all that was left on the ground was a pile of ashes and a tattered black robe.

The man in black beside him knelt on one knee, speaking with utmost respect: "Master, the old elder says that the Rakshasa Saintess has appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"I understand." Zhongli Wu gasped for breath, seemingly trying to calm his agitated emotions. He patted the man in black on the shoulder and instructed, "Collect the old elder's remains and send them 'there'!"

After saying that, Zhongli Wu rushed out of the tunnel with great joy.

After some research, this makes perfect sense. In the original Douluo Continent II novel, Huo Yuhao absorbed the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to create a soul ring, and it was that energy fluctuation that attracted Ilex.

Here, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm concealed itself because it sensed the aura of involvement from the divine artifact. If Electrox's search for the first target yielded no results, he would definitely choose the second target.

In effect, they got rid of Electrolux.
