Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 140 Slaying Soul Saints is Like Slaughtering Pigs and Dogs

Soul-guided device!

The weapon that dealt a heavy blow to the Spirit Hall attackers was the soul tool carried by the students of Nine Star Academy. It was the Radiant Needle, a level seven offensive soul tool newly developed by Nine Star Academy. With just a little soul power, it could fire an attack ray comparable to that of a Soul Saint.

The Soul Master Competition stipulates that no external objects are allowed, including soul tools. However, since they were attacked in the wild, there were no such restrictions, and Xiao Yu immediately gave the order to use soul tools to attack.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Amidst a series of metallic explosions, countless rays radiating red light rained down like merciless death gods, reaping the lives of these men in black.

After several rounds of firing, the number of men in black had exceeded one hundred, and many of them lay on the ground groaning in pain.

"Damn it!"

A furious curse rang out, and a figure suddenly soared into the air. Behind him was a golden eagle, its eight spirit rings—three yellow, two purple, and three black—circling around it. This person was none other than Lordiara, one of the Platinum Bishops of the Spirit Hall, possessing a spirit power of level eighty-eight.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Golden Eagle True Form!"

The seventh spirit ring on Lordiara shone brightly, accompanied by the revelation of a giant golden eagle. Terrifying spirit power reverberated through the air, neutralizing the new wave of spirit tool attacks released by the Nine Star Palace.

At the same time, several figures, like tigers released from their cages, leaped and approached Xiao Yu.

"Prepare to die!"

Among the approaching group, the leader was a Soul Saint whose Martial Soul was a Flame Lizard. With a roar, the lizard unleashed an extremely fierce beam of fire.

"Soul Bone Skill: Death Gaze!"

Xiao Yu channeled his soul power, and his mental attack, emitting a faint white light, arrived first despite being launched later.

The Lizard Soul Saint felt a sharp pain in his brain, and his mental sea instantly went blank, causing his fiery attacks to stop in that instant.

Xiao Yu flashed and appeared in front of the lizard soul saint. He held the Hades Sword in his hand and extended it like a serpent, instantly piercing through the man's chest.

"What?"

The black-clad men who had followed the lizard-souled saint all changed their expressions and involuntarily stopped in their tracks.

Among these people were Soul Saints, but their soul power cultivation was inferior to that of the lizard Soul Saint. Yet, the lizard Soul Saint was killed by Xiao Yu in a single exchange, let alone them. A feeling called fear instantly enveloped their hearts.

These Soul Masters all joined the Spirit Hall after Bibi Dong rose to power. They joined the Spirit Hall not because of any belief in the Angel God, but because they wanted to enjoy themselves more. They were very afraid of losing their lives.

But Xiao Yu didn't care about any of that. After dealing with the Lizard Soul Saint, he strode forward, his sword flashing, his sword momentum unstoppable, and his longsword slashed out with the force of a thunderbolt.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Form!"

Xiao Yu's target was a Soul Saint who possessed a sword martial soul. Faced with Xiao Yu's attack, he thought long and hard and almost instantly used his strongest soul skill, a long sword was already in front of him.

clang!

The swords clashed, producing a loud bang and sparks flying everywhere.

The Sword Soul Saint staggered back several steps. Even though his soul power was still above Xiao Yu's and he had even used his weapon soul true form, he was still at a disadvantage. This was due to the huge difference in the quality of the martial soul.

Xiao Yu turned around, his fifth soul ring shining brightly, and his sword light rose up, tearing through the void. The sword momentum was like a rainbow, going forward without hesitation. The sword tip suddenly extended and pierced through the body of the Sword Soul Saint without any hindrance.

"asshole!"

Behind Sword Soul Saint was a Soul Saint with a giant axe martial soul. He and Sword Soul Saint had always had a good relationship. His good friend died suddenly, and anger overcame fear. With a roar, the giant axe appeared out of thin air and then swung down fiercely towards Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu sneered, and as he drew his sword and turned around, his soul power suddenly erupted, allowing him to unleash his fifth soul skill a second time in just a few seconds.

A vast amount of soul power swirled around him, accompanied by a howling wind. With a flick of his longsword, a chilling sword aura, accompanied by a solemn killing intent, charged straight at the giant axe.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, the giant axe was shattered by the Hades Sword.

A terrifying surge of energy, accompanied by the shattering of the giant axe, swept over the Giant Axe Soul Saint.

"puff!"

The Giant Axe Soul Saint spat out a mouthful of blood, knelt on one knee on the ground, and gasped for breath.

The fifth soul skill, just Xiao Yu's fifth soul skill, actually rendered a Weapon Soul Saint unable to fight.

Xiao Yu walked slowly to the Giant Axe Soul Saint, and with a gentle swing of his longsword, the Giant Axe Soul Saint's enormous head rolled to the ground.

"hiss!"

The remaining men in black gasped, their eyes filled with fear and horror as they looked at Xiao Yu as if he were the Grim Reaper.

Three Soul Saints! That's a full three Soul Saints!

In less than a minute, he became a ghost under Xiao Yu's sword. Is this guy really just a Soul Emperor?

"You bastard, you deserve to die!"

Lordiara was enraged. The three Soul Saints who died were his direct subordinates, and this loss was considerable to him.

With a long howl, his golden wings flapped at full speed, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for Xiao Yu.

Just then, a broad and muscular figure blocked his way; it was Xuanwu, the team leader from Nine Star Academy.

"Get out of here!"

Lordiara roared and casually unleashed his second soul skill, sending a golden ball of light toward Xuanwu.

Xuanwu snorted coldly, raised his right hand, and slapped down, instantly shattering the golden ball of light into specks of powder and starlight that dissipated into the air.

At the same time, Xuanwu's entire body erupted with dazzling light, and a strange spiritual creature with a large head, small body, dragon scales, tortoise feet, and snake tail suddenly appeared behind him. It was Xuanwu's martial spirit, one of the four divine beasts.

Logically, the summoned warrior's spirit is evolved from his own constellation armor or his abilities in life. However, for some reason, Xuanwu's spirit is not based on his constellation Libra, but on his own name, and he awakens the Xuanwu spirit with the bloodline of a divine beast.

As the martial spirit possessed the body, eight spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—rose one after another beneath Xuanwu's feet. The overwhelming aura unique to divine beasts instantly overwhelmed Lordiara's killing intent.

Lordiara stopped his charge. He sensed a deadly threat from Xuanwu. This Soul Douluo powerhouse was no ordinary opponent, and might even be stronger than him.
