Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 165 Heartbreaking! A 10-Year Soul Ring Discarded Like Worthless Trash
“You 10-year-old soul beast, obediently come back with me and become a gift I offer to His Holiness the Pope.”

The nameless Soul Emperor rushed towards the fallen Xiao Wu. If he hadn't yet reached the bottleneck in his soul power cultivation, he would have loved to immediately kill this 10-year-old transformed soul beast and absorb her soul ring and soul bone.
Even if he had to leave the Spirit Hall after absorbing a 10-year-old soul beast, he would be willing. Moreover, if he absorbed this 10-year-old transformed soul beast, he might have a chance to break through to the Title Douluo level in this lifetime.

However, just as he was about to unleash his third soul skill to stun Xiao Wu, a spear shot out from his side at lightning speed.
Seeing this, the Nameless Soul Emperor quickly retreated a few steps, dodging the spear's attack. Still shaken, he roared in anger...
"Who, who dares to double-cross me, come out here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Wuming flew over from a distance.
"Ji Wuming?"

Xiao Wu stared in surprise at the extremely familiar figure, while the Nameless Soul Emperor also heard that resounding name.

"You're Ji Wuming, the one who won first place in the Soul Master Competition?"

The Nameless Soul Emperor wasn't overly surprised; instead, he revealed a strange joy.

"You've come at the perfect time. As long as I kill you, those three soul bones will be mine."

"Third soul skill, Eagle cry."

The Nameless Soul Emperor spread his wings and soared into the sky, sending out several sound waves from his mouth toward Ji Wuming.

At this moment, Ji Wuming didn't have the time to get entangled with the Nameless Soul Emperor. He quickly swung his Blood Thunder Spear.
"Emperor-Slaying Domain, open."

Within a radius of 500 meters, the scene was a blood-red expanse. All the plants and animals seemed to be under some kind of pressure, creaking and cracking. The third soul skill of the nameless Soul Emperor was also neutralized by the Emperor-Slaying Domain.

"How is this possible? How could you have a domain?"

The nameless Soul Emperor stared at Ji Wuming in horror. He couldn't believe that a young Soul Master who had just won the Soul Master Competition would possess a domain skill, and this domain was putting him under unprecedented pressure.
In this realm, almost all of his attributes decreased by half, and his once-proud speed became no different from running barefoot.

"There are many things you don't know, and I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you."

"The waves are strange, the sky roars and the sea is overturned."

Before the nameless Soul Emperor could unleash his sixth soul skill and make a final struggle, the air around him was rapidly sucked away, and his speed became as slow as a tortoise.
"This is impossible."

The Nameless Soul Emperor let out his final cry of despair as the Blood Thunder Spear pierced his brow, shattering his head and killing him instantly. His entire body transformed into fresh blood to nourish Ji Wuming's physical body and martial soul.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, affected by Ji Wuming's third self-created soul skill, had no way to escape. She wanted to use the Zhuge Crossbow, the Silent Sleeve Arrow, and the Flying Claw, but her movement was extremely slow.
At this moment, her heart was filled with utter despair.

Brother, I can't come back to you anymore, Daming, Erming. I know I was wrong. I should have listened to you and stayed by the lake to cultivate in peace.

Mom, I haven't killed the person who killed you yet, haven't avenged you. "Ji Wuming, for—"

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's extremely slow, pleading question, Ji Wuming raised his right hand, gripped the Blood Thunder Spear tightly, and smiled faintly.
"Humans and beasts are in opposition. Since you have chosen to take human form as a soul beast, death is your ultimate destiny."

Ji Wuming didn't look for any excuse that he had a grudge against Xiao Wu. He killed Xiao Wu simply because he was driven by self-interest. Even though there had never been any conflict between him and Xiao Wu, Ji Wuming would not let any beast or person who deserved to be killed go unpunished.

With his right hand gathering power, the Blood Thunder Spear shot out, piercing Xiao Wu's chest. Her terrified eyes gradually dimmed, and she collapsed completely beneath the giant tree, dying instantly.
The humanoid form gradually dissipated, and a pink rabbit appeared before Ji Wuming. Around it, a large red spirit ring with a diameter of about six meters gradually formed.
Ji Wuming landed back on the ground and walked to the 10-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit. A somewhat wicked thought flashed through his mind.

"I wonder how the meat of this 10-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit tastes when cooked? After all, it's a rabbit with a trace of spacetime power."

But then he thought about it again and shook his head repeatedly. If he were to cook the foreleg of a 10-year-old soft-boned rabbit, wouldn't that be eating Xiao Wu's hand? That was absolutely unacceptable; he couldn't get past that mental hurdle.

Ji Wuming half-squatted on the ground, took out a specially made dagger, and quickly cut into the soft-boned rabbit's body, searching for the location of the soul bone.
Soon, relying on his powerful mental strength and the unique soul power fluctuations emitted by the soul bone, Ji Wuming accurately located the soul bone that Xiao Wu had dropped after her death.
Unexpectedly, the 10-year-old soul bone she dropped was not her right arm bone, but the left arm bone of the Soft Bone Rabbit.

"Very good. I am right-handed and use my martial soul with my right hand. If it were my right arm bone, I would be a little unaccustomed to it!"

Ji Wuming immediately stored the 10-year-old soul bone into his soul tool, looking at the dazzling red 10-year-old soul ring with some regret, and unconsciously let out a sigh.
"What a pity! The Void and Eight-Stage Explosive Throw in this 10-year soul ring are two soul skills that are practically monstrous. My martial soul attribute is not suitable for the Soft Bone Rabbit, and I am still at level 59, so I cannot absorb them. Lingling and the others have not reached the bottleneck of soul power either."

"This period of time is also a great opportunity to hunt down Xiao Wu. If we miss it, it will be even more difficult to kill her, and she may even be sacrificed to Tang San again."

"Well, killing this rogue rabbit can be considered an early end to her tragic fate, and it can be considered saving her life!"

Just then, Ji Wuming's spiritual power detected that people were rushing towards this place from the four directions of east, west, south, and north. Without much hesitation, he immediately flew up to the giant tree, using the dense leaves to block the vision of the Spirit Hall people, and continued to leap out of the forest.

He hadn't been gone long when several Spirit Hall pursuers arrived at the scene, including one or two Soul Saint level experts.
When they saw this scene, they were utterly shocked, and the entire scene was eerily silent. They were speechless for a moment until one of the pursuers spoke.
"Is this the 10-year-old transformed soul beast we're hunting?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suppressed their surprise and looked at each other with utmost seriousness.

"According to His Holiness the Pope's instructions, the transformed soul beast that Tang Hao rescued was actually a rabbit in its true form."

"In this scene, the dead rabbit and the 10-year soul ring that has not yet dissipated must be the 10-year-old transformed soul beast."

"Which audacious and wasteful Soul Master dared not absorb the Soul Ring produced by a 10-year-old Soul Beast?"

They all stared intently at the dazzling red spirit ring, not daring to miss a single detail, their sorrow lingering for a long time.
