Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 51 The Grim Reaper: I Will Bring Death!

The border between the Star Luo Empire and the Mingdou Mountains.

Shrek's mission this time is to wipe out a bandit gang entrenched in this area.

The bandit group consisted of over three hundred people, with the most powerful evil spirit master calling himself the Messenger of Death. Because the area was located on the border between two countries, no army was willing to deal with it.

This task naturally fell to Shrek, who prides himself on being righteous.

After entering the depths of the Mingdou Mountains, the Shrek Academy's regular and reserve team members, led by Dai Yueheng, entered the military camp of the Western Army Group of the Star Luo Empire and met the man known as the Star Luo Stabilizing Pillar.

After resting for a night and getting accurate information, he learned that the strongest among the evil soul masters was only a Soul King. Confident that this was just a simple task, he made no arrangements and prepared to take action under the cover of night.

In the distance, Xuanzi watched the excited little guy and, after confirming that the strongest among the evil soul masters mentioned in the intelligence was only at the Soul King level, immediately relaxed his vigilance.

They're just a bunch of fallen ones who are good for the little ones to practice on; it seems he doesn't need to keep an eye on them all the time.

Also, let the reserve team kids see blood, so they won't ask too many questions and question the academy's policies.

With this in mind, Xuanzi, clutching his wine gourd, secretly went to eat a chicken leg.

This decision led to Wang Dong and his group suffering unprecedented heavy casualties when they arrived at the evil spirit master's lair.

Led by Ma Xiaotao, the inner court disciples ventured deep into the core of the evil soul master's lair, while Wang Dong and other reserve team disciples were responsible for dealing with minor enemies on the periphery. Just when everything was about to settle down, an unexpected incident occurred.

A tremendous roar suddenly echoed from the depths of the cave where the evil spirit master's lair was located.

"Arrogant! Who dares to oppose the messenger of death? I will kill you all here!!"

The moment the sound faded, the corpses of the evil spirit masters who had been killed began to expand rapidly, resulting in an unprecedented explosion.

Each explosion of a corpse was accompanied by the spraying of corrosive venom. There were no fewer than a hundred corpses here, and the explosion instantly triggered a chain reaction.

Without Huo Yuhao's warning this time, and with Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao, and others from the inner courtyard located at the very center of the explosion, the direct consequence was that the casualties were far more severe than along the original route.

Inner Court disciple Yao Haoxuan lost his upper body in the blast and died instantly. Chen Zifeng lost all four limbs in the blast, and due to the effects of the poison, he cried out for a while before losing his breath. Gongyang Mo and Xixi fared even worse; they were caught off guard and were blown into a puddle, leaving their mark on the cave.

Although Dai Huabin was a reserve officer, he was young and impetuous and always followed behind Dai Yueheng and the others. At the moment the explosion occurred, Dai Yueheng's first reaction was to protect his younger brother.

This doesn't mean the two have a deep brotherly bond; it's simply because if Dai Huabin really died here, it would be difficult for Dai Yueheng, the heir, to explain himself when he returned.

He clearly underestimated the power of the explosion, because at the moment Dai Yueheng made that choice, even if he was a Soul Emperor, he would not have survived the explosion.

He didn't die immediately, but the powerful explosion swallowed up most of his body. He lost both arms and even had a large hole blown into his abdomen.

"Big Brother!!"

Dai Huabin's face was corroded by the venom. Although he survived, he no longer had the mind to care about anything else.

His older brother was about to die protecting him. How could he face his father and mother when he got back? Why? Why did all this happen?!

Ma Xiaotao, whether by luck or because of her stronger soul power and more timely reaction, was the least injured and survived.

However, one person was unexpected: Ling Luochen. She shouldn't have survived, but because she was the last of the main team members, Xu Sanshi was the first to see her at the moment of the explosion.

Xu Sanshi thought that he could defend against the damage by relying on his Xuanming Displacement, so he switched positions with Ling Luochen.

The result was that even with his powerful Xuanwu Shield, Xu Sanshi was helpless. A hole was blasted through him, countless bone fragments pierced his body, and his martial spirit shattered. He even lost half his face, a truly horrific sight.

"Hahaha, now you know how powerful Lord Death is, right? You don't have the ability to kill me."

Xuanzi finally realized what was happening. Looking at the scene before him, he seemed to recall the terrible mistake he had made years ago.

Back then, when I led a team of twelve inner court disciples to hunt souls in the Star Dou Great Forest, the same thing happened. The difference was that the one time it was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but this time it was a small Soul King evil soul master.

This kind of thing actually happened to me again!
Good heavens! Of the Shrek Seven Devils who participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, four are dead and three are seriously injured. The two seriously injured are on the verge of death. How is he going to go back to the academy to explain this?

"You bastard, get out here right now!"

Overwhelmed by rage, he failed to immediately rescue Ma Xiaotao and the others. Instead, he unleashed his oppressive aura in an attempt to force the evil spirit masters out of their cave lair.

The result of this was that the three men, who were already seriously injured, became even more severely injured. Dai Yueheng and Xu Sanshi even started bleeding profusely and were clearly on the verge of death.

It was Wang Yan outside who reacted first, his expression grave, almost as if he were about to vomit blood. He simply couldn't believe what was happening.

At that moment, the Grim Reaper burst out of his lair, laughing loudly. Without saying a word, he took control of Yao Haoxuan and Chen Zifeng's corpses, preparing to detonate them.

Wang Yan noticed something amiss and shouted, "Elder Xuan, we can't let those corpses keep exploding!"

Although Xuanzi was a little stunned, he soon realized that the explosion was related to the corpse, and the higher the soul power of the deceased was in life, the bigger the explosion would be.

If they continue to let Yao Haoxuan and Chen Zifeng's bodies explode inside the cave, then Xiao Tao and the others will really perish here.

Without saying a word, he summoned his martial spirit and used all his strength to suppress the source of the explosion.

It was because Xuanzi was distracted and controlled the corpse explosion that the Death Messenger seized the opportunity and broke through the blockade in a puff of black smoke.

"Rise, God of Death!!"

"Hahaha, just right, just right!!!"

The reserve team happened to be on the evil spirit master's escape route. Just in case, they grabbed Wang Dong while escaping, whether by coincidence or intentional is unknown.

"You're the most conspicuous one here, come with me."

Wang Yan had just gone to rescue Ma Xiaotao and the others, while Ling Luochen, Beibei, and the others were still stunned by the recent events. There was practically no protection outside, so everything seemed perfect.

"Bastard, let me go."

Wang Dong struggled desperately, but to no avail. He was knocked unconscious by the Grim Reaper and gloriously took Huo Yuhao's place.

"Damn it!! I will tear you to pieces!!!"

Xuanzi cried out helplessly, cold sweat streaming down his face.

"Wang Yan, take good care of Xiao Tao and the others. I will definitely kill this bastard!!"

After saying that, he chased after him. Strangely enough, even though one was a Soul King and the other was a Super Douluo, Xuanzi just couldn't catch up with him.
