Douluo Dragon King: My strategy system is not right

Chapter 48 Train Killer

“Woo—”

The whistle of the soul-guided train pierced the morning mist, its streamlined silver-white body gleaming with the unique blue light of a soul-guided core. Lin Ci stared out the window at the rapidly receding metal tracks, his fingers unconsciously stroking the corner of his clothes.

He looked around from time to time, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"We are about to enter a dark canyon, please fasten your seat belts."

Tang Wulin was munching on his fifth meat bun when the robotic female voice rang out. The young man froze, the perception bestowed by the Golden Dragon King's bloodline sending a chill down the back of his neck.

Lin Ci and Wu Changkong had stood up at some point.

The temperature of the entire carriage dropped sharply.

The first to scream was the pregnant woman in the back seat. Her swollen belly suddenly exploded, and three bats with human faces darted out from the bloody mist. Screams rang out, and one by one, the passengers melted into pools of black water. From each pool of blood, a black-robed figure rose.

"Holy Church, eternal life!" Twelve black-robed men shouted in unison, slinging chain-like bone whips from their sleeves. Viscous blood suddenly seeped from the ceiling, congealing into a blood-red barrier on the car windows.

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

Wu Changkong took action the moment these black-robed men appeared. The Tianshuang Sword in his hand had not yet been fully unsheathed, but the entire carriage was already covered in light snow.

"Soul Emperor!"

The black-robed leader looked at the six spirit rings under Wu Changkong in surprise.

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

The leading black-robed figure was noticeably weaker. He was only a Soul King, and most of his subordinates were barely above the Soul Lord level. It would be easy to disrupt an ordinary train, but if they encountered a Soul Emperor, they'd be in trouble.

"Go!" A few dark glints flashed in the eyes of the leading black-robed figure, but he still swung his bone whip, striking Wu Changkong first. The whip tip whistled sharply, seeming to rend the air. The other black-robed figures followed suit, brandishing their bone whips and attacking Wu Changkong from all directions.

Wu Zhangkong's expression was stern. He unsheathed his Sky Frost Sword an inch, and a stream of icy blue sword energy shot out, colliding with the bone whip of the leading black-robed man. With a crisp "ding" sound, the bone whip was shaken away by the sword energy, and the black-robed man's arm went numb.

Just when the men in black who were surrounding him from all directions were about to reach two meters in front of him, the Tianshuang Sword was unsheathed an inch again.

The extreme coldness spread and erupted with the Sky Frost Sword as the center. The approaching men in black were all frozen into blocks of hard ice in an instant.

Before Wu Zhangkong could deliver the second sword, a circular halo of light passed through all eleven frozen men in black in an arc-shaped trajectory.

Wherever the circular halo passed, fine cracks instantly appeared on the bodies of the men in black who were frozen into ice. Then, with a crisp "crackling" sound, the ice exploded and turned into countless ice chips that scattered all over the ground.

The black-clothed men inside suddenly emitted bursts of golden light, and then all turned into black mist and were absorbed by the light wheel.

The halo circled once more, returning to Lin Ci's presence, slowly floating in front of his chest before re-merging into his body. As the halo infused him, a new layer of light shone upon his body.

Lin Ci looked at Wu Changkong embarrassedly. Although this was a bit immoral, there was nothing he could do. This evil soul master had benefited him too much.

Wu Zhangkong glanced at Lin Ci in surprise. He naturally didn't care about Lin Ci's behavior of stealing the head, but he was surprised. But now was definitely not the time to ask.

Without hesitation, the Tianshuang Sword was fully unsheathed and pointed directly at the last black-robed figure.

If this weren't happening on the Soul Guide Train, Wu Changkong's full power, if fully unleashed, would have wiped these people out in an instant. The Soul Emperor's suppression of these low-level Soul Masters was truly insurmountable.

Even if there was a Soul King here, Wu Zhangkong was definitely not just a Soul Emperor. If that incident hadn't happened, he would have even been a strong candidate to be the next Sea God Pavilion Master.

The black-robed figure had already realized how complicated the situation was after Wu Zhangkong and Lin Ci had attacked. Not only this Soul Emperor, but even the strange Lin Ci, the light wheel clearly had absolute control over him.

The sacred feeling on it is so strong!

The black-robed man's eyes suddenly became ferocious. When he took a step back, the blood color in the car suddenly fluctuated violently, and the originally frozen black mist unexpectedly condensed into real evil energy again.

The dark soul energy surging around him mixed with the bloody scent within the carriage, forming a strange, blood-red vortex. Wu Zhangkong's Sky Frost Sword's tip was already at his throat, but when it came into contact with the vortex, a subtle ripple appeared.

Wu Zhangkong's pupils constricted, and the Sky Frost Sword suddenly pierced the black-robed man's chest, but it only penetrated a phantom afterimage. The blood-red vortex suddenly contracted, sucking the black-robed man and the remaining evil energy around him into it.

Faced with the escape of the man in black robe, Wu Changkong did not chase him. His primary goal was definitely to protect his two students, not to chase him.

What's more, he probably couldn't catch up with that special self-harming escape method.

By this time, the scene in this carriage was already horrifying. Half of the passengers had been killed by the evil spirit masters, while the other half had survived but were severely injured.

Everything just happened so fast. The train police had just arrived when it was over. Of course, the train police's strength was not enough to deal with those evil soul masters just now.

At this moment, Tang Wulin's face was a little pale, and the bun he hadn't finished eating was stained with blood from someone unknown.

The bloody scene had been a profound shock to the young boy. He'd always experienced it in the Spirit Ascension Platform, where everything was virtual. But this was the first time he'd witnessed such brutality in the real world. Even though he possessed the blood of the Golden Dragon King, witnessing the passengers' tragic deaths before his eyes, those brutal scenes still struck him like a hammer.

Lin Ci shook his head. This situation was very normal, but it was an inevitable plot when becoming a strong person.

When the train was attacked, the automatic alarm was already activated, and the nearest mecha army had already arrived to provide support. The train crew had also arrived one after another.

Wu Zhangkong took the lead in stepping forward to negotiate, but this top student from Shrek Academy still maintained a firm attitude.

I will not cooperate with the investigation and will be dropped off directly at Tiandou City as scheduled.

The occurrence of an evil spirit master attacking a train was extremely serious. Bystanders and participants alike were required to cooperate with the federal investigation, and journalists certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity. However, Wu Zhangkong clearly didn't care and forbade anyone from taking photos.

Faced with a resolute refusal from a battle armored Soul Emperor, even those affiliated with the Federation couldn't directly demand anything. After all, it was Wu Zhangkong who had eliminated the evil soul master, and his words hinted at his identity.

Such a young Soul Emperor was most likely from that place. Even if not, he was definitely not weaker than the powerful forces there.

　There's more.
