Chapter 249 Demon Blade and Lich.
When the three arrived before the emerald green crystal, the three-eyed spirit tiger was still writhing in a retreating posture, looking rather comical.
"Judging by its size, it's less than 21,000 years old, which is quite suitable. Kill it and absorb its soul ring!" Wu Xuan glanced at the three-eyed spirit tiger's size and gave his final conclusion.
"Okay!" Xiao Xiao nodded, and under the dark golden light emanating from his left palm, he pierced the head of the 21,000-year-old three-eyed spirit tiger with a claw.
As the inky black 10,000-year soul ring rose, Xiao Xiao didn't hesitate. He immediately sat cross-legged, summoned the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, and began to fuse the three-eyed spirit tiger's soul ring with his own.
At this time, dawn was breaking, and the sunrise illuminated the rosy clouds on the horizon.
Wu Xuan skillfully dissected the three-eyed spirit tiger's corpse, but unfortunately, no soul bone dropped. However, the crystal in the three-eyed spirit tiger's brain core was a top-grade material for making mental defense soul tools. This was still a considerable gain.
After dissecting the entire corpse, Wu Xuan skillfully sat down beside Xiao Xiao and began to protect her.
Wang Dong said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect to encounter two ten-thousand-year-old Three-Eyed Spirit Tigers in succession on the outskirts of this mixed zone. I remember the inner court courses mentioning that spirit-attribute soul beasts like the Three-Eyed Spirit Tiger are quite rare. It seems I came to the right place with you this time; top-tier soul beasts are always hard to encounter."
"Just a coincidence, not as exaggerated as you say," Wu Xuan said calmly.
Although the Three-Eyed Spirit Tiger wasn't as powerful as the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, it was still a near-super soul beast. Its innate soul skill was a sonic-wave type mental attack, which even a Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound of the same level wouldn't dare to withstand head-on.
Apart from its physical body being far inferior to other soul beasts of the same level, it was practically perfect in every other aspect.
Time flowed slowly!
A morning passed in the blink of an eye. As the blazing sun hung high in the sky, spreading warmth and vitality throughout the Star Dou Great Forest, the soul ring of the 20,000-year-old three-eyed spirit tiger was completely integrated into Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Suppressing Soul Cauldron Martial Soul. A few moments later, Xiao Xiao opened his large, dark green eyes. Instantly, a heavy aura mixed with a hint of spiritual pressure spread out, but then dissipated.
Two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings rose from beneath his feet. This meant that Xiao Xiao had entered the Soul King level.
"Congratulations, Xiao Xiao," Wang Dong said with some envy. Obtaining such suitable soul rings was truly enviable.
"What's your fifth soul skill? It must be very strong!" Wu Xuan smiled.
"My fifth soul skill, I call it Three Lives Suppressing Soul. It's a single-target control skill. This soul skill directly targets the enemy's body and soul power. Once hit, they will be directly sealed. Unless their soul power is far stronger than mine, they won't be able to easily break free," Xiao Xiao said with great joy.
"Impressive!" Wu Xuan praised.
"Alright, now we only need Wang Dong's spirit ring. Let's search the mixed zone for two more days. If we still haven't found it, we'll head into the core zone!" Wu Xuan said.
"Okay!" the two replied.
At the same time, on the Immovable Plains near Shrek City, eleven figures shrouded in black mist flew high in the sky. The evil and resentment emanating from these eleven people were almost tangible.
Without a doubt, these eleven people were all evil spirit masters. Four of them had reached the title of Douluo, and two of them had even reached the level of Super Douluo.
"Eighth Brother! You're really loyal. Those bastards in the Hall of Worship all ran away faster than rabbits when they heard they were going to Shrek City to investigate." A powerful Super Douluo sighed with relief.
"Stop with the nonsense, Fifth Brother. Just remember your promise to me," a rather effeminate male voice said.
"Haha, of course! Compared to the risks you're taking, what are the remnants of ten thousand blood demon souls?"
The man called Fifth Brother laughed.
The effeminate man called Eighth Brother, hiding in his black robe, sneered. "Why did I come here? It was the leader's arrangement, otherwise, why would I risk this with you?" But then again, it's really satisfying to have it both ways. He'd collect the leader's reward and then squeeze some money out of this fool—it's a really good deal.
These two Super Douluo were the two great elders of the Holy Spirit Sect: Fifth Elder, a level 95 Super Douluo, titled Demon Blade; and Eighth Elder, a level 95 Super Douluo, titled Lich.
The rest were either titled Douluo or Soul Douluo—a truly luxurious lineup.
The reason Zhongli Wu sent the Eighth Elder to assist was naturally because of the Eighth Elder's martial soul, the Lich. This bizarre and evil martial soul was not only extremely adept at concealment but also skilled in curses and viruses. This martial soul was extremely difficult to cultivate, but once mastered, it would be a nightmare for low- to mid-level soul masters.
Why was it so difficult? Because this martial soul needed to devour the vengeful spirits of those killed by swords and other metal weapons to accelerate its cultivation. Moreover, the more it cultivated, the more its body would become neither male nor female. In other words, if a man possessed the Lich martial soul, he would develop female characteristics, and vice versa.
Therefore, the Eighth Elder was practically the most evil soul master among evil soul masters.
"Shrek City is just ahead, Eighth Elder, we're counting on you from now on," said the Demon Blade Douluo.
"Don't worry~!" The Eighth Elder, the Lich Douluo, whimpered, and a pale white figure slowly emerged from behind him. It was a figure with a stiff face, a distorted body, and various defects. This was the Eighth Elder's martial soul, the Lich, yellowish-purple-purple, blackish-blackish-blackish! Nine spirit rings shone brightly around him.
The first ring flashed, and a bone staff radiating red light appeared in his hand.
"Sixth Spirit Skill, Blood Mist Heavenly Flower!"
Streams of blood-red mist shot out from the bone staff, enveloping Demon Blade Douluo and the other two Title Douluos. "With my sixth spirit skill, as long as you five brothers disguise yourselves slightly, no powerful expert will be able to detect your identities as evil spirit masters, let alone sense your aura."
"Fifth brother, you'll have to go and investigate the Shrek Inner Academy on your own. My colleagues and I will investigate the Shrek Outer Academy and the city guards at each city gate. This is the task the sect leader gave me before he left."
"Alright, then take care, Eighth Brother! Let's go!!" Demon Blade Douluo clasped his hands in a fist salute and then led the two Title Douluos back towards Shrek City.
It must be said that the Blood Mist Heavenly Flower was truly secretive. The entire investigation went very smoothly. The three of them easily sneaked into the Shrek Inner Academy and even thoroughly explored the Spirit Guidance Department and Martial Spirit Department.
"Damn Lu Chong, you actually dared to betray the Holy Church! You scum of the evil soul masters, you've disregarded my kindness in mentoring you!" The Demon Blade Douluo, glaring at the various warehouses of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department, nearly lost control of his soul power in rage.
