Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 465 Huo Yuhao: I am the Soul Palace's Soul Heavenly Fiend (Daily 10,000 words)

The Great Holy Spirit's body suddenly became somewhat ethereal, his entire being seemingly transforming into a ghost-like state of smoke. He reached out a claw towards the lich, but he forgot that Nana had brought seven people with her this time: six liches and Huo Yuhao.

A figure quietly appeared behind the Great Holy Spirit. Looking at the crimson ninja mark on the other's neck, Huo Yuhao's eyes revealed a scarlet glint like that of a wild beast.

With one hand grabbing the Great Holy Spirit's hair, and the other hand gripping the knife in an extremely strange posture, he forcefully thrust the 1.5-meter-long Wind Mantis Giant Shadow Slash blade at the Great Holy Spirit's neck, allowing the entire blade to pierce into the Great Holy Spirit's body.

Six streaks of bright red blood mist swirled around the blade of the Wind Mantis Giant Shadow Slash the moment Huo Yuhao drew his sword. The dense aura of bloodlust swirled around the blade, making it look incredibly sinister.

A ball of energy, much smaller than that released by the two Holy Spirits, flew out from the Great Holy Spirit's already drained body and flowed into Huo Yuhao's body.

[Blood Blade Technique: A ninjutsu that involves coating a blade with blood, greatly increasing its lethality. The blood-infused sword light extends the blade's attack range.]

[The secret technique of turning the blood of the slain into a cursed blade is a move created by Wolf when he used the Mortal Blade as a second. Therefore, although this move is somewhat similar to the Mortal Blade, it does not have the power to take the life of an immortal.]

【Life-Protecting Breathing - Yang: A secret technique that restores a certain amount of injuries after killing an enemy and plunders the remaining life force from the dead to repair oneself】

For a ninja, a stealthy kill is like a chance to catch their breath. While performing a stealthy kill, they use ninja breathing to regulate their mind and body, allowing them to continue fighting.

Even so, Huo Yuhao did not stop. Several gray runes appeared in the void. The next moment, the Great Holy Spirit's soul, which was filled with fear, confusion, and resistance, was forcibly pulled out by Huo Yuhao and compressed into a gray crystal, which was then thrown into the storage soul tool.

This whole process looks even more wicked than that of a cult leader. They turn enemies into a ball of pure power to absorb, extract their blood and attach it to their blades, and after using up the value of the corpse, they even extract the enemy's soul. It really doesn't seem like a legitimate organization at all.

Nana's emotions at this moment were basically just "Aba aba aba aba aba".

Perhaps the Holy Spirit's shouts were too piercing, for the elders who were planning to go to the main altar tomorrow were also startled by the other party.

"Which branch elder are you, daring to trespass here?"

A chilling shriek, carrying a terrifying power, rang out from a hidden door, and a pale white figure with seven spirit rings suddenly flashed out, heading straight for Huo Yuhao.

Yes, it's clear that even the branch elders of the Holy Spirit Cult don't believe Huo Yuhao isn't an evil soul master. For a moment, they even thought a fellow member had come to their branch to cause trouble.

"The visitor is Soul Heavenly Fiend of the Soul Palace. My purpose: to seek revenge!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao approaching him with a blood-stained blade, his killing intent overwhelming, and the six liches behind him also glaring at him with fierce eyes, the branch elder couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Soul Hall? Which organization is Soul Hall?"

The branch elder was somewhat anxious, his mind racing as he tried to figure out which organization the Soul Palace was.

Unlike the Holy Spirit Cult, which dominates the Sun Moon Continent, in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, due to the influence of Shrek Academy, the god of death, other evil soul masters generally only have small, insignificant organizations. Although they are nominally part of the Holy Spirit Cult, they only have that title in reality.

What a joke! These people are too busy dodging Shrek's pursuit to listen to the Holy Spirit Cult's orders. As for the organization's name, that's even more important to keep secret. If too many people know, Shrek's vicious gang will come knocking on their door.

Therefore, let alone the fact that the Soul Hall Huo Yuhao mentioned is a fabricated organization, even if it isn't, the other party wouldn't know.

"Can't remember? Let me give you a hint: Mingdou Mountain Range, the Grim Reaper."

Huo Yuhao's killing intent surged forth, almost filling the entire room, making the branch elder feel a strong sense of suffocation. The intense killing intent made the branch elder immediately believe in Huo Yuhao's reputation as the Soul Heavenly Fiend of the Soul Hall.

"The Grim Reaper? I've heard of him. His corpse explosion technique was incredibly skilled. Although he was only at the fifth ring level, his strength was extraordinary. Our Holy Church once tried to recruit him, but he was wiped out by the Shrek Academy!"

The branch elder swallowed hard and quickly explained.

"Those are my dearest family and friends, my brothers and sisters!"

Huo Yuhao's tone grew increasingly hostile: "Just before he was attacked, I was drinking with him. He bluntly said that your Holy Spirit Cult wanted to recruit him, but my brother, used to the carefree life of being a mountain king, refused outright."

"It hasn't been long, and my brother died at the hands of Shrek's surveillance team. How can I not suspect that you were trying to emulate the evil spirit master Song Gongming from two thousand years ago, trying to force my brother to the evil mountain, but accidentally killed my nephew?"

Huo Yuhao's reasoned and well-founded questioning convinced the branch elders somewhat, since they had indeed done such things before.

"This...this might just be a misunderstanding, or perhaps it was the work of other branch elders, and has nothing to do with me!"

Just as the branch elder was trying his best to exonerate himself, Huo Yuhao made his move.

The reason Huo Yuhao was wasting time talking to the other party was mainly because he was worried that their conversation would be leaked to other members of the Holy Spirit Cult through some means. He had to be careful and disguise his actions as a revenge killing.

In addition, it was also to give the liches time to prepare for something big. Casting spells without leaving a trace is quite difficult for liches, but after stalling for so long, they have had enough time.

A ball of black light rose from the staffs of the six liches and shot towards the branch elder.

"Damn it! I already said, the death of the Grim Reaper has nothing to do with me!"

The branch elder still doesn't understand. Huo Yuhao and the others came here to take his life, and it has nothing to do with the Grim Reaper. The idea of ​​seeking revenge is utter nonsense.

A small door behind the branch elder suddenly exploded open. A surge of terrifying energy rushed out from the small door. Even with Nana's cultivation level, she only felt a tightness all over her body and staggered backward.

One could see clusters of transparent light of different colors rushing out of the small door, each cluster seemingly bearing a human face, though these faces were now violently distorted.

At this moment, the branch elder held a flag in his hand, his face contorted with rage as he glared at Huo Yuhao and the six liches. "I'll let you taste the agony of being devoured by ten thousand souls. Your souls will be torn to shreds, and your bodies will become my puppets. Let's perish together!"

The branch elder shouted this sentence frantically, only to find that six liches had shot out six balls of light and were already in front of him. The flying vengeful spirits, however, cowered and dared not take a step forward.

"You, charge! Charge!"

The branch elder instinctively tried to activate the soul banner in his hand, but the six black orbs of light had already slammed into him.
