Following the directions given by the middle-aged man, Song Zhe continued on his way.
He was afraid that the group of people would suddenly change direction, making it impossible for him to catch up with the Fallen Soul Master and his party.
Perhaps due to good luck, that group did not change direction.
About an hour later.
Song Zhe flew swiftly above the forest, stepping on leaves, like a nimble bird.
Soon, a group of people appeared in front of Song Zhe.
Most of them were children, and there was also a middle-aged man who reeked of blood.
It seems that the middle-aged man is the Soul Douluo that the villagers were talking about.
However, he is now accompanied by eight children, five boys and three girls.
The number of missing children is two fewer than the ten children the villagers claimed to have lost.
In other words, those two children may have met with misfortune.
Song Zhe's face grew increasingly gloomy, and the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass appeared on his right hand.
Putting everything else aside, he planned to assassinate that Soul Douluo directly through a sneak attack.
"All swords return to one".
Song Zhe sneered, and the six Soul Rings beneath his feet lit up at the same time.
The abundant power instantly increased his attack power, giving Song Zhe ample confidence.
At the same time, all of the special attributes of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass have been activated.
Absolute defense penetration, absolute critical hit, absolute accuracy, absolute bleeding.
All four special attributes are incorporated into the fifth special attack, Ten Thousand Swords.
In the past, when he fought Sword Douluo, he would scatter his myriad swords to catch his enemy off guard.
This time, however, he chose to unify all sword energy, concentrating all the sword energy onto the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
The nine-leaf sword grass did not release any terrifying aura.
Even from a distance, it appeared that Song Zhe was holding only an ordinary blade of grass in his right hand.
However, this back-to-basics sword technique is the culmination of Song Zhe's strongest attack.
"shuttle!"
"kill!"
Song Zhe sneered and his figure disappeared into the forest in an instant.
In Gu Yuena's words, his sixth special attribute, teleportation, completely negligible in terms of distance.
In other words, he could directly attack that Soul Douluo with a single thought.
The only downside is that it can only be used once every three days.
If he fails to kill the Soul Douluo within the survival space, he will be unable to use his spatial abilities to escape for a short period of time.
This is not the world of Douluo Continent, so he cannot contact Gu Yuena.
(TL: that's utter bs hes literally in that world…., whether it's a simulation of it or not (which it probably isn't anyways) is a different story)
Although Gu Yuena is also here, the simulator has cut off his ability to contact outside help.
"who?"
The Fallen Soul Master below, who had been idling around, suddenly stiffened, his hair standing on end.
This sudden urge made him feel really uncomfortable; he hadn't felt it for many years.
"Pfft~"
A sharp object pierced his body from behind.
When he saw clearly what was piercing his body, it looked like tree branches and leaves, and he felt terrible.
"Fallen Soul Masters all deserve to die."
Song Zhe sneered, his soul power erupting once more, bursting forth on the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
The terrifying explosive force blasted the Soul Douluo away, sending him crashing into the swamp ahead.
With several special attributes added to it, this move was completely unavoidable for that Fallen Soul Master.
"Hehehe~ Someone actually found us."
However, what is most frustrating is that the Fallen Soul Master, whose body was pierced, was still not dead.
A thick, pungent smell of blood wafted from the front, making it feel as if one had arrived at a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
A hideous figure crawled up in front of them, with a huge hole in its chest.
The blood energy inside the cave was churning, but he managed to stabilize it temporarily with his soul power.
"Ah~"
Just then, the children around screamed in surprise.
They huddled together in fear, terrified that the Soul Douluo would kill them now.
"Boy, I will devour your flesh and blood."
The Soul Douluo's face was contorted with madness and the smell of blood.
The seventh Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up, and after activating his Martial Soul True Body, his blood energy surged.
A monster appeared behind him and attached itself to his body; it was a Beast Soul Master.
"I'll see you off one more time."
Song Zhe immediately activated the Free and Easy Wind Control technique, and the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in his hand burst forth with a dazzling starlight sword aura.
Song Zhe had never expected that his all-out attack would fail to kill the Fallen Soul Master.
If it were any other Soul Douluo, that sneak attack would probably have taken them down instantly.
However, the guy in front of him is an Fallen Soul Master, and his own strength is terrifying.
Even many geniuses can perish at the hands of Fallen Soul Masters; that is what makes Fallen Soul Masters so terrifying.
Take Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect as an example. That catastrophe on the continent was entirely caused by Evil Soul Masters.
(TL: in this case the term is correct so ill leave it as is)
"Eighth Soul Skill, Blood Sea Devouring the Sky."
Suddenly, a pair of enormous blood-red wings unfurled behind the Fallen Soul Master.
Immediately afterwards, waves of red, like a vast ocean, appeared around the Fallen Soul Master.
Wave after wave of crimson blood surged towards Song Zhe from the front, seemingly intent on killing him in one strike.
"break!"
The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in Song Zhe's hand immediately flashed with starlight sword energy, heading straight for the Fallen Soul Master.
The first wave of blood, which resembled a tsunami, was instantly shattered by Song Zhe's starlight sword energy.
Immediately afterwards, the starlight sword energy continued to rush towards the second crimson wave.
Under the relentless erosion of those waves of blood, Song Zhe's starlight sword energy dimmed instantly.
This Fallen Soul Master was extremely clever. Knowing that Song Zhe was merely a Soul Emperor, he directly used his soul power to wear Song Zhe down.
This relentless, wave-like attrition caught Song Zhe completely off guard.
"The fourth realm of swordsmanship: Wooden sword flying flowers."
Song Zhe's expression turned cold, and the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in his hand stirred up the falling leaves all around him.
Centered on Song Zhe, they began to revolve around him.
However, the nine sword leaves on the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass had somehow merged into the leaves of the entire sky.
Song Zhe stood among a pile of leaves, obscuring the enemy's view, so much so that the Fallen Soul Master did not notice him at all.
Immediately, Song Zhe stepped onto the Free and Easy Wind Riding platform, and with the "tree branch" in his right hand, he propelled the countless leaves rich in sword energy forward, slashing towards the blood wave ahead.
He leaped up and flew directly onto the blood wave, wielding countless sword energies and tree leaves, aiming directly at the Fallen Soul Master.
Surprisingly, the Fallen Soul Master did not appear after the blood wave.
Instead, it appeared beside the two children, plunging his hands into their heads and absorbing their blood essence.
The wound on his chest was also healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Holy shit, you're asking for it."
Song Zhe immediately mobilized the sword energy filling the sky and charged towards the Fallen Soul Master.
Take advantage of his weakness to kill him.
If he can't kill that Fallen Soul Master now, it will probably be even more difficult later.
After all, Song Zhe's special attributes cannot be used indefinitely, and his own consumption is also very pessimistic.
