Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 50 Attack again
Seeing that his attack missed, the assassin behind Xu Tianran raised his right hand and pulled out the dagger in his hand. Suddenly, a beam of blood mixed with a few strands of purple and black flew up.

But before he could land the next blow, a layer of golden light appeared beside Xu Tianran, repelling the assassin from him. Then the people who had hurried over used various methods to capture him.

It was not until this moment that the others saw clearly that the cultivation level of the man who had just made the move was not very high, being only an Eight-ring Soul Douluo. However, his strange ability made the Titled Douluo unable to react for a while.

Seeing this, the assassin knew he had missed his best opportunity and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. In fact, according to his original plan, he shouldn't have made his move so early. At the very least, he should have waited for the ambushes to attract the attention of the other priests around Xu Tianran before launching a sneak attack.

But he didn't expect that Xu Tianran would distance himself from others because of Orange. He really couldn't bear to miss such an opportunity.

Unfortunately, under the influence of Zhongli Wu, he was slow to act. In addition, after seeing him, Juzi risked his life to block the attack, which made his long-prepared sneak attack fail in the end.

"boom--"

"No, there's an ambush!"

A loud roar was heard, and the several servants around Xu Tianran who were also soul guides could naturally hear that this was clearly the sound of a ninth-level soul guide. Immediately, two figures blocked Xu Tianran's side, and the others went in the direction of the attack.

"Your Highness, it is not advisable to stay here for long. It is better to leave as soon as possible."

Someone spoke up to persuade him, and Xu Tianran gradually came to his senses. His eyes were already bloodshot, "You, the priests, are treating me worse than a child you just picked up from the roadside!"

After hearing this, the two priests' expressions turned grim, but they couldn't argue. After all, Xu Tianran was right. If it weren't for Ju Zi's intervention, Xu Tianran would have been seriously injured.

"Your Highness, what about us now?"

"Go back to Mingdu!" Xu Tianran said in a low voice, "Juzi risked her life to save me, I must rescue her."

The others glanced at Ju Zi, whose face was already somewhat dark, and they didn't think she could be saved. The assassin's weapon was clearly poisoned. Even if Xu Tianran protected Ju Zi's heart meridian, he probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

However, seeing Xu Tianran's expression at the moment, no one dared to offend him. They could only respond with a "yes" and ignore the other people who were chasing the killer. They protected Xu Tianran and headed towards Mingdu.

Lin Xiao watched the whole process from the side. He had the lowest cultivation level here, and no one expected him to do anything at this time. But before Ju Zi blocked the assassin's attack for Xu Tianran, he seemed to see a hint of relief in her eyes.

She was not afraid, hesitant or entangled. The moment she pounced on him, there was only peace in her eyes.

Perhaps at that moment, she herself was not sure whether she could survive, but whether she died and ended her wanderings without having to make careful calculations, or gained Xu Tianran's trust later, it was a good result for her.

Seeing that everyone had changed direction and headed towards Mingdu, Lin Xiao turned around and looked deeply at the assassin. A blood-red light flashed, and he also followed the crowd.

The flying speed was so fast that the sound of fighting behind him gradually became smaller. It seemed that Xu Tianran had escaped from the ambush of the assassins.

Lin Xiao's cultivation was still a little insufficient, luckily Zhongli Wu helped him, allowing him to barely follow behind the others.

However, as he listened to the sound of the wind beside his ears, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

He remembered Xu Tianran being assassinated, but in his recollection, Xu Tianran's legs and even his entire lower body were affected afterward, to the point that he could only move with the aid of a soul tool, not just like he was now. Unless he lost his legs at a different time, or perhaps...

As soon as this thought arose in his mind, Lin Xiao's body stiffened instantly. He felt all the hairs on his body stand up. He could even feel that the aura of Zhongli Wu, who was carrying him flying, had changed for a moment.

"Your Highness, be careful—"

Lin Xiao was not the only one who noticed something was wrong. A priest beside Xu Tianran had already revealed his martial spirit, and a golden shield suddenly rose up, completely covering him and Xu Tianran.

However, something seemed to pass through the air silently, and the shield only lasted for a few breaths before a noticeable crack appeared.

The worshipper who held up the shield was split into two halves almost at the same time. The upper half remained in its previous state, while the lower half fell to the ground.

However, this momentary obstruction also allowed Xu Tianran to react. The flying soul guide behind him suddenly spewed out a dazzling light, and his body leaped upwards.

"what--"

However, the next moment, a scream still came out of Xu Tianran's mouth.

Two blurry black shadows fell to the ground and in the blink of an eye they turned into two black dots and disappeared.

Looking at Xu Tianran again, his lower body was already a bloody mess, his internal organs seemed to be squeezed out of the wound, and blood kept spilling out, as if it was raining blood.

"Your Highness!"

The people around Xu Tianran didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly picked up Xu Tianran, and poured their soul power into the wound, trying their best to stop the blood from flowing out.

Everything happened in a flash. Zhongli Wu finally reacted. With a surge of soul power, a figure slowly emerged.

That person was also a Titled Douluo, but the nine spirit rings around him were emitting a dazzling light, as if they were burning.

Zhongli Wu's face changed when he saw this. He could tell that the man before him had burned his life force, soul power, and soul rings to launch the attack he had just launched. He had already made up his mind to die, and even if Zhongli Wu hadn't seen through him, he wouldn't have been able to hold out for much longer.

"Take care of yourself." After looking around, Zhongli Wu gave an instruction and walked towards the assassin.

Lin Xiao looked around and simply turned and left. These people were targeting the Crown Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire. They were definitely not weaklings. If he stayed here, he might not even be able to withstand the aftermath of their battle.

He also understood at this time that neither the ambush just now nor the assassin who attacked Xu Tianran from behind was the ultimate means to assassinate Xu Tianran.

Perhaps it was to lure away the masters around Xu Tianran, or perhaps it was to make Xu Tianran relax his vigilance. Their real killer move was this Titled Douluo who was fighting for his life.

Just as he was thinking this, a dark shadow suddenly fell in front of him. Lin Xiao looked down and saw that it was Ju Zi, who had been with Xu Tianran. Xu Tianran's voice stopped ringing in his ears, as if he had fainted.
