Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 15 Boss Wang's Attack

"How so?" Wu Tie was even more curious. What kind of person could make the richest man in the city give up his business and go to a place he didn't want to go?

Moreover, the more information they have about their employers, the better, as it concerns their lives.

"Commander Wu Tie probably knows that a week ago I took my two sons to hunt souls in the Star Dou Great Forest, but we didn't expect to encounter the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. She thought my son was a genius and wanted him to be her best man during her training."

"To be chosen by the Holy Maiden as her best man? How is that possible?! Brother Li, you must be joking! Everyone knows that Her Highness the Holy Maiden is already over twenty years old; why would she take a liking to a little brat!"

Wu Tie looked on in disbelief. The name of the Holy Maiden Bibi Dong was known to everyone on this continent. It was said that her cultivation had reached the level of a Title Douluo, and she needed a little kid as her best man for cultivation.

"Not this one, but the next Holy Maiden. When I saw her, she was only six years old. She must have just awakened her Martial Soul and was being led by Her Majesty Serpent Spear and Porcupine to hunt souls in the Star Dou Forest!" Li Ming rolled his eyes and said irritably.

"So you're the next Holy Maiden. No wonder your family is heading to Spirit City!"

Wu Tie murmured to himself, a question rising in his mind. He felt that Li Ming was probably telling the truth, but he didn't understand why the entire Li family had to go to Wuhun City. They could have just sent their son there.

Seemingly seeing through Wu Tie's thoughts, Li Ming said with a wry smile, "You know I'm afraid of my wife. She dotes on our two sons. To avoid leaving them, she cried and made a scene. In the end, we had no choice but to move the whole family to Wuhun City."

"No wonder there was such a loud noise at Brother Li's house the other day!" Wu Tie laughed loudly.

"Hehe!" Li Ming responded awkwardly, but breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally managed to fool Wu Tie. Now, as long as he arrived safely in Wuhun City, he would be safe.

……

"Boss Wang, Li Ming is out, but he's being escorted by the Iron Soul Hunters!" Skinny Monkey approached Boss Wang and handed him the news he had just received.

"The Iron-Hunting Soul Gang! I didn't expect Li Ming to contact them. This is troublesome!"

Boss Wang frowned. The information about the Wu Tie Soul Hunting Group, the strongest soul hunting group in Ze'an City, was known to everyone. It had a total of seven members, four of whom were Soul Emperors. In particular, the group leader, Wu Tie, was said to have reached level 67 in soul power, which was three levels higher than his.

"Boss, should we still make a move?" Skinny Monkey asked.

"Of course, if we succeed in obtaining the Li family's 30 million gold soul coins this time, we can buy some resources at the auction house. That way, my brothers and I can break through to the Soul Saint level. Wouldn't it be great if we found a secluded place to live a carefree life then?!" Boss Wang said coldly.

The reason for attacking Li Ming's family was that he had heard that there was a treasure at the auction that could break through the limitations of one's aptitude, but the price was too high, requiring at least 30 million gold soul coins. Their Soul Hunting Group all came from poor backgrounds and their aptitude was not particularly high. They had already reached their limit in cultivation, and it was impossible for them to break through directly.

Although he had made a lot of money through hunting souls and double-crossing over the years, it was still not enough. That's why he thought of robbing people in order to get that treasure.

"According to the information we gathered earlier, Jiang Xin deposited 30 million gold soul coins into six purple-gold cards, but they are definitely all with her own people. So, Skinny Monkey, there are nine of us in total, two more than Wu Tie's gang. You take seven brothers and hold off Wu Tie's gang for three minutes. I will take care of Dao Li Ming's family within three minutes and steal those 30 million gold soul coins."

"Got it, boss!"

Upon hearing Boss Wang's instructions, Skinny Monkey and the others immediately responded.

"They're here!"

As soon as Boss Wang reached out, Skinny Monkey and his gang instantly hid behind a tree, their faces revealing sinister smiles as they watched the carriage speeding towards them in the distance.

"Stop the car! There are people in the woods ahead!"

Suddenly, Wu Tie gave the order, and the entire convoy stopped immediately. The entire Wu Tie Soul Hunting Team scattered instantly, watching the distant woods warily.

Li Ming also looked towards the woods and noticed that some birds were not landing for a long time. He realized that what Wu Tie said was true, and his expression became serious.

Turning to the carriage, she reminded, "Xin'er, protect Fei'er and Fan'er."

Jiang Xin nodded, took out a flintlock pistol from her storage space, and prepared to deliver a fatal blow to the newcomer. Li Fei also took out his pistol and prepared a hand grenade.

"Who's playing a joke on me? Come out and let me see!"

Wu Tie dismounted and walked to the front of the group, speaking casually, but his eyes were full of seriousness, showing no sign of carelessness.

"Clap clap clap!" Soon, a burly middle-aged man walked out clapping, a smile playing on his lips, and exclaimed, "Truly worthy of the Ironclad Soul Hunter Squad!"

"So it's you! Wang Erniu! Let your brothers come out too. I know there are nine of you in the Soul Hunter Gang, so don't even think about hiding!"

Wu Tie was somewhat surprised to see the newcomer. He glanced into the forest and slowly spoke.

"I'm called Wang Ao now, not Wang Erniu, you better remember that!" Boss Wang said, somewhat exasperated.

"I know! I know!"

Wu Tie nodded repeatedly, and at the same time gave a wink to the members behind him. The six of them immediately understood and all put their martial spirits into their bodies, with various colored soul rings surrounding them.

Li Fei quietly pulled back the curtains and peeked out. He discovered that only three of the six members of the Wutie Soul Hunting Team had the best configuration, while the other three had a mix of white, yellow, purple, and purple-purple configurations. Even with such a configuration, they had become the number one Soul Hunting Team in Ze'an City. This showed how difficult it was for ordinary Soul Masters to improve their strength.

Knowing they could no longer hide, the skinny monkey and the others emerged from the woods and came behind Wang Ao, each displaying their spirit rings.

Compared to the Wutie Soul Hunting Group, the team led by Wang Ao had a much worse configuration of soul rings. Of the eight people, only Skinny Monkey had the best configuration, and the rest basically had white first soul rings.

"Skinny Monkey, as we agreed before, you take some men to hold off Wu Tie while I go kill Li Ming's entire family!"

After he finished speaking, Boss Wang's martial spirit appeared behind him. It was a Tibetan Mastiff. Instantly, the martial spirit possessed him, and the purple spirit ring lit up. He rushed directly towards the carriage where Li Fei's family was.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Three Thousand Blade Shadows!"

Wu Tie activated his martial soul, which became a Wu Tie sword. Six standard-configured soul rings appeared, and as they lit up, Wu Tie transformed into a blur as he charged towards Boss Wang. With a single slash, three thousand sword shadows appeared, enveloping the entire sky.

Each blade shadow was as if it were real, its blade gleaming with light, carrying an indomitable spirit, blocking all of Boss Wu's paths.
