Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 48 Train Killer

"Waaah—"

The whistle of the Soul Guidance Train pierced the morning mist, its streamlined, silver-white body gleaming with the unique blue light of the Soul Guidance Core. Lin Ci gazed out the window at the rapidly receding metal tracks, her fingers unconsciously stroking the hem of her clothes.

His eyes darted around from time to time, a glint of light flashing in them.

"We are about to enter a dark canyon. Passengers, please fasten your seatbelts."

The mechanical female voice sounded as Tang Wulin was eating his fifth meat bun. The boy suddenly froze, a chill running down his neck from the perception granted by his Golden Dragon King bloodline.

Lin Ci and Wu Changkong had already stood up sometime earlier.

The temperature in the entire carriage dropped sharply.

The first scream came from the pregnant woman in the back row. Her swollen belly suddenly exploded, and three bats with human faces sprang out from the blood mist. Screams rose and fell, and one after another, passengers melted into pools of black blood, from which rose a figure in black robes.

"Eternal life of the Holy Church!" the twelve men in black robes shouted in unison, whipping out chain-like bone whips from their sleeves. Suddenly, thick blood seeped from the ceiling, congealing into a blood-red barrier on the car windows.

Lin Ci suddenly remembered that Tang Wulin was definitely a train killer.

Wu Changkong made his move the moment these men in black robes appeared. His Heavenly Frost Sword was not yet fully drawn, but fine snow was already falling throughout the carriage.

"Soul Emperor!"

The black-robed man at the head of the group looked at the six soul rings beneath Wu Changkong with some surprise.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black!

The black-robed leader's aura was noticeably weaker; he only possessed the cultivation of a Soul King, and most of his subordinates were merely Soul Venerables. Disturbing this ordinary train was easy, but encountering a powerhouse of the Soul Emperor level would likely lead to serious trouble.

"Attack!" A few dark glints flashed in the eyes of the leader of the black-robed men, but he still brandished his bone whip and lashed out at Wu Changkong first. The tip of the whip whistled sharply, as if it were about to tear the air apart. The other black-robed men responded in kind, wielding their bone whips and attacking Wu Changkong from all directions.

Wu Changkong's expression was cold and stern. He drew his Heavenly Frost Sword an inch from its sheath, and a streak of icy blue sword energy shot out, colliding with the bone whip of the leading black-robed man. With a crisp "clang," the bone whip was shaken off by the sword energy, and the black-robed man's arm went numb.

Just as the men in black who were closing in from all sides were about two meters away, the Heavenly Frost Sword was drawn an inch from its sheath again.

An extreme chill spread, erupting from the Heavenly Frost Sword, instantly freezing the approaching black-clad men into blocks of hard ice.

Before Wu Changkong could deliver his second sword strike, a circular halo of light traversed through all eleven frozen men in black in an arc.

Wherever the circular halo passed, fine cracks instantly appeared on the black-clad men who had been frozen into ice blocks. Then, with a series of crisp cracking sounds, the ice blocks shattered and turned into countless ice shards scattered all over the ground.

Golden light instantly emanated from the black-clad figures inside, and they all turned into black mist and were absorbed into the halo of light.

The halo circled once, returning to Lin Ci's front, slowly floating in front of his chest, and then merging back into his body. However, with the infusion of the halo, a new layer of light shone on his body.

Lin Ci glanced at Wu Changkong sheepishly. Although it was a bit immoral, there was nothing he could do; the evil soul master was too beneficial to him.

Wu Changkong glanced at Lin Ci unexpectedly. He naturally didn't care about Lin Ci's act of stealing kills, but a sense of surprise arose in his heart.

But now is definitely not the time to ask.

Without hesitation, the Heavenly Frost Sword was fully drawn, pointing directly at the last figure in black robes.

If this weren't on the Soul Guidance Train, with Wu Changkong's full power, he could have wiped these people out in an instant. The Soul Emperor's suppression of these low-level Soul Masters is an insurmountable barrier.

Even if there's another Soul King here, Wu Changkong is definitely not just a simple Soul Emperor. If that incident hadn't happened, he might even be a strong contender for the next Sea God Pavilion Master.

The man in black robes realized how complicated the situation was after Wu Changkong and Lin Ci made their move. Not only this Soul Emperor, but even the strange Lin Ci, that halo of light clearly had absolute restraint on him.

The sense of sacredness emanating from it was so intense!

The black-robed man's eyes suddenly turned ferocious. As he took a step back, the blood-red color inside the carriage suddenly fluctuated violently, and the black mist that had been frozen actually condensed back into a substantial evil aura.

The surging dark soul power around him mixed with the bloody smell in the carriage, forming a strange crimson vortex. Wu Changkong's Heavenly Frost Sword tip was already at his throat, but when it touched the vortex, it created subtle ripples.

Wu Changkong's pupils contracted as the Heavenly Frost Sword pierced the black-robed man's chest, only to pass through a fleeting afterimage. The crimson vortex suddenly contracted, engulfing the black-robed man along with the remaining evil energy around him.

When the man in black robes fled, Wu Changkong did not give chase. His primary goal was to protect his two students, not to pursue them.

Moreover, given that peculiar self-harming escape method, he probably wouldn't be able to catch up with it.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

By this time, the scene in the carriage was horrific. Half of the passengers had been killed by the evil spirit masters, and the other half, though not dead, were mostly seriously injured.

Everything happened so fast; the train police had barely arrived when it was all over. Of course, the train police weren't strong enough to handle those evil spirit masters.

At this moment, Tang Wulin's face was slightly pale, and his unfinished bun was stained with someone's blood.

The bloody scene he had just witnessed was too much of a shock to the young boy. Before, everything he experienced on the Spirit Ascension Platform was virtual. This was the first time he had seen such cruelty in reality. Although he possessed the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, seeing the passengers die tragically before his eyes was like a heavy hammer blow to his heart.

Lin Ci shook her head. This situation was quite normal, but it was an unavoidable part of becoming a strong person.

The train had already activated its automatic alarm when it was attacked, and the nearest mech unit had arrived to provide support. The train crew had also rushed to the scene.

Wu Changkong took the lead in negotiating, and this top student from Shrek Academy remained firm in his stance.

They will not cooperate with the investigation and will get off the bus directly at Tiandou City at the originally scheduled time.

Such an attack on a train by a cultist is extremely serious. Both bystanders and direct participants must cooperate with the federal investigation, and journalists will certainly not miss this opportunity. However, Wu Changkong clearly disregards all of this and forbids anyone from taking photos or videos.

Faced with a Soul Emperor-level expert clad in battle armor firmly refusing, even though these people belonged to the Federation, they couldn't directly make demands. After all, it was Wu Changkong who dealt with the evil soul master, and Wu Changkong's words subtly revealed his identity.

Such a young Soul Emperor is most likely from that place. Even if not, he is definitely no weaker than the major forces there.

There's more.
