Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 736 Death is a Stern God (Daily Life)

In the next semi-final, Huo Yuhao's opponent was far less formidable. He didn't even need to lift a finger; the Ghost Warrior Armor drew its bow and arrow, and with a few shots, it nearly turned its opponent into a bloody gourd.

On the contrary, Huang Zheng, who made it to the semi-finals, faced off against a girl from the Ordinary Alliance who wore yellow and wielded a soul-guided longsword.

Huang Zheng's martial spirit, which is not the strongest among evil spirit masters, is called Evil Servant, a strange humanoid martial spirit.

According to the Holy Spirit Cult, this kind of martial spirit comes from the vengeful spirits formed after a human dies.

When vengeful spirits are tainted by evil energies of heaven and earth, they become a special kind of evil being, capable of harming living beings by resonating with these evil energies.

Once this evil spirit enters a pregnant woman's womb, its martial spirit will be imprinted on the fetus. However, the pregnant woman will inevitably die during childbirth, and her essence and blood will serve as nourishment for the evil spirit, forming within the fetus.

However, the Evil Servant Martial Soul is not considered powerful among Evil Soul Masters; in fact, it is relatively weak.

Compared to the bone dragons, abominations, and skeleton kings that Huo Yuhao had faced before, it was considerably weaker.

This is why Huang Zheng chose the path of a Soul Master within the Holy Spirit Cult, rather than a pure Evil Soul Master—it simply wasn't a viable option.

Even if the Evil Servant isn't strong, it's still a type of Evil Soul Master's Martial Soul.

Its primary ability lies in support. It uses various evil-infused soul skills to weaken opponents, thereby indirectly enhancing itself.

Logically speaking, Huang Zheng's strength is sufficient. As an evil soul master, he rarely encounters an opponent who can suppress him at the same level. However, unfortunately, this woman in yellow happens to be one of them.

Large clusters of holy, golden-white light exploded directly on Huang Zheng's body. Huang Zheng felt a warm sensation all over his body, and a large amount of purplish-black energy surged up from his body. His whole body trembled violently, and he screamed in pain, staggering backward.

Ye Guyi's holy beauty also slightly moved Huo Yuhao; her soul seemed to reach an extremely intense level at that moment. The golden-white light emanating from her entire body illuminated the entire arena, as if even the darkness in the sky was being pierced.

Is the opponent's martial soul an angel?

Huo Yuhao gasped: "Elder Qian, come out and see your great-great-great-granddaughter."

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu actually peeked out and took a look, then shook his head: "This girl is definitely not from our lineage, but she does indeed have the Angelic Martial Soul."

"However, this girl is too reckless. A small, ordinary alliance can't protect her, and she underestimated the fear that evil spirit masters have of her kind of martial spirit."

Led by the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, all four elders stood up. To them, the growth of this sacred martial spirit was a threat to the very foundation of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Damn it, they can't kill Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy, but they can't kill this little girl?

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. He was more than capable of protecting himself at this moment, but if the evil soul master wanted to forcibly crush the other party, he would be helpless.

What should I do?

Just then, the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult raised his right hand and said, "We'll talk about it after the match."

"Yes," the four elders bowed in unison. However, in their eyes, Ye Guyi was already a dead man. Not only Ye Guyi, but even on the Pingfan Alliance's side, Shangguan Wei'er felt the chilling gaze from the Xishui Alliance.

A slight unease gripped Shangguan Wei'er's heart. She sensed something was amiss. Was she wrong to use Ye Guyi to deal with the Xi Shui Alliance?

Never mind, with the royal family backing me, even if these evil spirit masters are arrogant, they wouldn't dare to go against the royal family, right?

It's only because Huo Yuhao didn't know what the madam was thinking that he would have scoffed.

For the Holy Spirit Cult, this was even worse than sending a group of venereal disease patients to Shangguan Wei'er's brothel for a quickie; it was practically spreading plague into the brothel.

It would be strange if this evil spirit master could resist.

Ye Guyi's pretty face, radiating a holy glow, was full of positive energy. It was also noticeable that among the three women, her long dress was the only one without any exposed skin.

He pointed his longsword diagonally at the Xishui Alliance, his face filled with arrogance and disdain. The tip of the sword trembled slightly, aimed at Huo Yuhao and the Ghost Warrior in great armor beside him.

"I'm going to kill that bitch and avenge Brother Huang."

Huo Yuhao roared and strode towards the competition stage.

As he rushed out, he also blocked the Third Elder, whose eyes flashed with fierce light, and who was about to make a move.

The Third Elder's eyes flickered with uncertainty, but he ultimately nodded.

Huo Yuhao leaped up and returned to the competition stage. He strode towards Ye Guyi.

Ye Guyi snorted coldly, "You evil creatures will surely be slain by my sword."

Killing Huang Zheng boosted her cultivation significantly, and the soul power she had previously consumed was also restored. At this moment, she was bursting with confidence.

"I never heed the words of the dead—I request that the referees close the view of the Soul Arena."

Huo Yuhao's tone was cold, as if he really had a very good relationship with Huang Zheng.

This familiarity with the dead is all too familiar to the Grim Reaper, who has been offline for several years.

Ever since his death, he instantly transformed from Huo Yuhao's mortal enemy into his beloved friend, brother, and sworn brother.

The dead can't talk, and that's what Huo Yuhao liked most about them.

Ye Yulin, the chief referee, also looked rather grim. He was extremely impressed when Ye Guyi displayed her Angelic Martial Soul.

But his thoughts were the same as Huo Yuhao's. How could this silly girl reveal her divine attributes to evil soul masters before she had even fully developed her powers?

Isn't this courting death? If only I had discovered her divine attributes sooner and introduced her to His Highness the Crown Prince, using her as a trump card against the Holy Spirit Cult in the future, wouldn't that have been wonderful? Now, it seems...

Hearing Huo Yuhao's wish to block the view of the Soul Arena, Ye Yulin's heart tightened. This Soul Heavenly Cripple seemed to have already revealed some kind of terrifying trump card in the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

However, Huo Yuhao's power was completely obscured by his dark explosion at the time, and no one knew what had happened.

The other party's meaning was very clear: he was going to get serious.

Ye Yulin hesitated, but Feng Ling raised her hand, and a gray-blue aura, an extremely cold and evil aura, slowly rose from the outer edge of the Soul Arena, distorting the view of the outside world. At this moment, only Feng Ling and the others, the chief referee, and the people from the two major merchant guilds could see the scene inside the Soul Arena.

Thanks.

Huo Yuhao nodded, his eyes filled with fierceness as he looked at Ye Guyi.

"I told Brother Huang before that if he followed me, I would at least get him second place. You've made me break my promise."

Ye Guyi's longsword trembled slightly, her eyes filled with indifference: "It's alright, I'll send you down to join him right now."
