Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Dragon Abyss Sword, has become its scabbard.

Chapter 68 Slaughter

oooo~

A group of wolf bandits warily looked around, and several of them sniffed the air intently.

"Quan, is this the leader of the wolf bandits?" Ling saw Ding Quan use a mental attack again, and this time it was even more powerful.

That blue wolf bandit was indeed somewhat unusual, exuding a strong wind element.

"It shouldn't be."

"Shall we make a move?" Vera watched as the wolf bandits began to survey their surroundings. These guys were indeed highly intelligent and extremely united.

"Wait until they scatter. If one of them is not to be trifled with, don't linger in battle. Fly away immediately." The group possessed the ability to fly, so even if they were no match for the wolf bandits, escaping would not be a problem.

"it is good."

Ugh~

Another blue wolf bandit emerged from the cave and let out a low howl upon seeing the fallen bandit.

Several extremely powerful wolf bandits ran out of the cave and quickly began to survey the surrounding area.

It seems they have realized they are under attack.

A wolf bandit with bluish fur headed towards Ding Quan and his companions. Moments later, the wolf bandit was struck on the head by a phantom ice blade, and its figure disappeared under Ling's simulation skill.

Ding Quan glanced at the bluish-green wolf bandit in front of him, which had nearly ten thousand years of cultivation.

Fortunately, wolf bandits don't produce spirit rings after they die, so there's no risk of being exposed.

Awooo~!

Woo~woo~woo~

Got it!

Ding Quan heard the howls of the wolf bandits rising and falling all around him; these guys were communicating!

A wolf howl sounded around them, but there was none in their direction. Ding Quan and the others glanced at the wolf bandit at their feet, but they couldn't imitate its howl.

This pack of wolf bandits is indeed stronger than ordinary soul beasts, especially since their intelligence surpasses that of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

They exchanged a glance, and Ding Quan clenched his right hand, summoning the Dragon Abyss Sword. Five soul rings—two yellow, one purple, and two black—appeared on Ding Quan's body.

Wei'er's soul power surged, and five soul rings appeared on her body, with purple lightning flashing quietly around her.

With his right hand slightly open, a dark golden claw emerged from his fingers, radiating a cold light.

The group watched as a dozen or so wolf bandits slowly approached, with another group some distance behind them. These guys were quite wary.

"Let's do it!"

As the wolf bandits drew closer, the group suddenly sprang into action!

A dark golden claw shot out first, slicing through the three-headed wolf bandits at the front, instantly severing them into several pieces.

A terrifying chill also burst forth, and ice blades shot out instantly, hitting several wolf bandits, whose bodies were instantly covered with a layer of ice crystals.

Upon seeing this, Ding Quan immediately ran towards the wolf bandits, and several sword energies also slashed across the bodies of several wolf bandits.

Nourishing~

Several lines of blood appeared on the wolf bandit's body, and then he collapsed helplessly.

Ding Quan's current soul power level is 55, and his attack power is something that these wolf bandits, who are less than 10,000 years old, cannot contend with.

Awooo!

When the group of wolf bandits saw that the group had been exposed, although several wolf bandits had died, the remaining wolf bandits were not afraid. Instead, they charged towards the group with fierce expressions.

"You're courting death!" Purple lightning surged around Vera's body. With a flash, her claws gleamed coldly as she charged directly at the wolf bandits, crackling with lightning.

Be careful!

When Ding Quan saw Wei'er rushing forward, he realized that the wolf bandits outside were no match for them, but there were still quite a few high-level individuals inside the cave.

"Okay." Ling responded, and then his first soul skill lit up, an ice sword condensed in his hand, the snow lotus martial soul above his head burst out with cold air, and several ice blades appeared around his body.

The two of them rushed forward instantly, their attacks ruthless and deadly. The wolf bandits who rushed forward first were around the Soul Venerable level, and they had no chance to fight back under their attacks.

Ding Quan slashed the neck of a wolf bandit with his sword, instantly separating the bandit's head from its body.

The sharpness of the Dragon Abyss Sword now exceeded Ding Quan's expectations; when the sword sliced ​​through the wolf bandit's neck, Ding Quan felt no resistance.

I glanced at Ling beside me. The ice sword she created using the Ice Soul skill wasn't very powerful, but before each attack, the ice blades flying around her would hit the wolf bandits first, causing them to freeze in their tracks. Then she would swing her sword to finish them off. I could feel the spiritual energy within the ice blades, so I guessed she was using the Ice Soul effect.

"Watch out for wind blades!"

"I saw it."

A cyan wind blade shot from a distance, and Ding Quan called out a warning.

Seeing the larger wolf bandits emerging from the cave, these guys were much stronger than those outside the cave.

As the wolf claws swung, wind blades resembling claw marks shot towards the group.

"Too many!" Ling dodged several wind blades and looked at the wolf bandits who continued to surge forward. There were too many of them, and they showed no fear of death.

"Indeed!" Vera's body crackled with electricity as she swatted a wolf bandit that pounced at her, killing it. She had already killed quite a few of the weaker ones who had charged at her earlier.

Although the group had just started fighting and their soul power and physical strength were abundant, they knew they couldn't afford to waste any more time seeing the wolf bandits still pouring out of the cave.

Ding Quan's second soul ring has lit up, and his soul power is now several times higher than before, so he doesn't need to worry about the consumption of soul power.

The Dragon Abyss Sword, radiating golden-red flames, effortlessly cleaved a wolf bandit to death before its gaze suddenly brightened as it looked toward the cave entrance.

A blue wolf emerged from the cave entrance. Its fur was a deep blue, and it was nearly three meters tall, towering over the other wolves around it.

Is this the leader?

Within Ding Quanjin's crimson eyes, this guy exuded a soul power fluctuation no less than that of a Soul Emperor, indicating that his age was indeed around 20,000 years.

Beside it was a blue wolf bandit, similar to the one that had appeared before.

Several wolf bandits, their bodies already turning bluish-green, followed nearby; they appeared to be around ten thousand years old.

Seeing the strength of this group of wolf bandits, Ding Quan understood why they hadn't been eliminated even after a year. With such strength, even ordinary Soul Saints might not be able to handle them.

In the westernmost part of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Soul Saints are extremely rare.

"Let's go over there, fly over there, don't hold back!" Ding Quan said to the two after glancing in the direction of the cave.

"good!"

Ling nodded, and then the fifth spirit ring under his feet lit up. A blue figure walked out of the ice mirror, which was the clone of Shui Bing'er.

Fifth Soul Skill - Ice Mirror Illusion! Ling's fifth soul skill still retains Shui Bing'er's soul power imprint.

Five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—appeared on her body, and a terrifying chill burst forth.

Then a pair of wings appeared on the illusionary body, and it flew towards the cave.

Ding Quan grabbed Ling Ye, who was standing next to him, and flew directly towards the wolf bandit leader.

At this moment, Wei'er's golden feather appeared, and she immediately followed.

snort!

Seeing the wind blades flying towards them, the group quickly formed a stream of soul power around themselves to block them.

Ding Quan's gaze sharpened, and flames flashed in his golden-red eyes as he unleashed a mental attack directly at the wolf bandit leader.

Awoo!

The wolf bandit leader immediately clutched his head and let out a painful howl.

Then a red light emanated from its body, its aura intensified, and its blood-red eyes stared straight at the group.

Berserk skill?

Ding Quan frowned slightly. His mental attack hadn't harmed it; instead, it had triggered its berserk state.

嚎！

The wolf bandit leader roared, and then, to the astonishment of the others, leaped up and pounced on the illusory ice mirror in front of him.

Such powerful wind element! A gentle breeze seemed to condense around the wolf, holding it in place, which allowed it to leap such a height.

"Go down! Dark Gold Transformation! Radiant Light!" A golden figure suddenly accelerated and arrived directly in front of the group.

Vera's second and fourth spirit rings lit up immediately, and purple lightning clung to the claw on her right hand.

A golden light shone from behind, instantly appearing above the wolf bandit's head.

The terrifying claws, crackling with lightning, lashed out directly at the wolf, which was over three meters tall.

Wolf Thief swung his sword forcefully, and a cyan wind blade flew towards him.

Bang!

The wind blade shattered upon contact with the terror claw, and then Vera's attack landed directly on the wolf bandit's arms, which were alternating above his head.

Boom!

The wolf bandits fell to the ground even faster than when they arrived, leaving a large crater in the ground.

It's really rough and thick!

The wolf bandit actually stood up. There were indeed deep, bone-revealing wounds on its arms, yet it still managed to resist.

Ding Quan looked at the whirlwind surrounding the wolf bandit and its scarlet eyes.

Did the wind on its body act as a buffer and protect it? But after such an attack, the damage it suffered was far more than just an injury to its arm.

It seems the berserk skill made it forget the pain and ignore its injuries.

Ling released his Ice Mirror illusion and landed in the sky above the wolf bandits, emitting an extremely cold aura.

So cold! It truly is the coldest ice ever!

Snowflakes began to fall around Ding Quan, and the moisture in the air froze rapidly, making him feel goosebumps all over his body.

Looking at the area where snowflakes were swirling and the biting cold air, the chill felt on my body was so intense that it would probably become a domain if it were any stronger.

Ultimate martial spirits generally have their own domain skills.

Fourth Soul Skill: Frosty Blizzard!

Fifth Soul Skill: Ice Blade Feathers!

The fourth and fifth spirit rings on the illusory body flashed, and the snowflakes falling around began to dance, instantly turning the area into an ice and snow storm.

In Ding Quan's view, the phoenix martial spirit behind the replicated Shui Bing'er let out a phoenix cry, the flying snowflakes turned into sharp feathers, and the storm instantly turned into a meat grinder.

It seems that Shui Bing'er acquired her fifth soul skill in order to complement her fourth soul skill.

This feather blade might still be influenced by Ling; they had previously discussed the general effects of their soul skills.

However, such area-of-effect attacks are indeed a weakness for Ding Quan and his group at present.

Despite the deadly attacks from the numerous wolf bandits, dealing with them was indeed troublesome.

Of the group, only Wei'er currently possesses a large-area semi-group attack soul skill, but that skill primarily enhances Wei'er's attributes.

Although Ling's Snow Lotus Martial Soul can create ice blade attacks, it is far from being able to cover the entire sky like this.

Faced with the illusion's fourth and fifth soul skills, this area instantly turned into a shower of knives.

As the storm raged, feathered blades danced, splattering blood mist onto the wolf bandits in their wake, turning the entire icy storm a blood-red hue.

The stronger wolf bandits continued to launch wind blade attacks, but they could only struggle to hold on, and after a short while, they were pierced into pincushions by the feather blades.

Several strong, bluish-green wolf bandits were enveloped in soul power, forming wind shields that blocked the feather blades, but they were still able to defend themselves.

Ding Quan glanced at the few blue wolf bandits he hadn't been able to take away immediately.

It seems that such a wide-range attack is somewhat scattered, making it difficult to deal with stronger opponents, but fortunately the attacks are continuous.

Of course, there are also drawbacks. Ding Quan glanced at Ling and realized that such a skill consumes a great deal of soul power.

As expected, Ling's expression was not good, and his soul power was severely depleted.

A surge of soul power approached Ling's body. Ling glanced at Ding Quan, then maintained the two skills of the illusionary body.

"It's easier to deal with than we thought." Vera looked at the dwindling number of wolf bandits from the air, having initially expected a tough battle.

"That leader is around 20,000 years old, and with that number, they should have no problem dealing with ordinary Soul Saints."

Ding Quan saw that several wolf bandits were still releasing wind blades, shooting towards the group.

"Too bad we've run into you!" Vera blocked the wind blades directly.

The three watched as the Ice Blade Storm relentlessly reaped the lives of the wolf bandits; the attacks of the ultimate martial soul were indeed too domineering.

The leader of the pack was exceptionally ferocious, roaring at the group, and even attacking some of the wolf bandits nearby.

It seems that this berserk ability has made it lose its mind.

However, judging from this, it should be more or less resolved. Looking at the angry wolf bandits below, having the ability to fly is indeed a good thing.

In the original story, Tang San seems to have defeated them with just Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. Although their soul power level was much higher than theirs, their true strength was not necessarily comparable to theirs.

The strength of their martial souls is no weaker than theirs, not even the Blue Silver Emperor.

"I'll go take care of those guys!" Vera said, seeing the few wolf bandits still putting up a stubborn resistance.

"Be careful! Don't get hurt at a time like this." Ding Quan held Ling, finding it difficult to move.

"Understood!" A golden light flew towards the wolf bandits in the center, and several dark golden claws went towards them first.

The ice blades avoided Wei'er. Ding Quan glanced at Ling, thinking it was probably the result of her control.

Two minutes later, those powerful wolf bandits were also quickly dealt with by Vera using her Radiant Fear Claws.

Just as Ding Quan had predicted, the wolf bandit leader, though appearing imposing, was severely injured.

"That's about it."

"Good!" Ling saw that Wei'er had also eliminated the wolf bandit leader, and immediately withdrew his fifth soul skill.

The illusory ice mirror in the air slowly dissipated, and the strange phenomena in this area also began to disappear.

"It's done!" Vera put away the golden feather and shook the dread claws on her hands.

"Check carefully, don't miss a single one." Ding Quan flew down with Ling, landing on the icy ground.

"That's true!" If even one of the wolf thieves escapes, the consequences will be dire.

After all, ordinary people can't deal with wolf bandits who are at least Soul Master level.

Ding Quan's golden-red Xuanhuo eyes lit up, and he saw that there were indeed several wolf bandits on the ground who were not completely dead. He finished them off one by one.

Then, looking at the wolf bandit leader, the Dragon Abyss Sword slashed directly at its right leg.

"Soul Bone!" Vera exclaimed with some surprise.

"Did it absorb this soul bone, or did it produce it?" No soul ring appeared after the wolf bandit died.

"Who knows? But this soul bone skill isn't very good."

"Berserk?" Ling looked at the cyan soul bone, which had a ring of bloodthirsty red light around it, and said, thinking of what the wolf bandit had looked like before.

"It should be." Ding Quan put away the soul bone, then looked at the wolf bandit's lair.

Ding Quan sensed that something else existed inside.
