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

Chapter 7 The Chase

This Flower Martial Soul Master was still using his Soul Skills, which showed he reacted quickly enough.

Ding Quan felt a little regretful when he saw her come to her senses, because she was lying down and couldn't swing her sword far enough.

The other party can't escape either.

"Ah~!"

A painful scream came from the woman's mouth. The Dragon Abyss Sword she swung did not strike her retreating neck, but instead severed her outstretched hand.

Looking at the severed arm lying on the ground, Ding Quan silently stood up.

I knew that the world of fantasy was a dog-eat-dog world, but I didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

Without any warning, he chose to take action simply because he guessed that he possessed a storage soul tool.

This place is indeed somewhat barren, so it's perfectly normal for the other party to be tempted by his presence when they saw that he was all alone.

In such a place, it was difficult to find even a decent hotel, so Ding Quan stayed at the post station at the suggestion of the caravan.

Ding Quan had anticipated the killings, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly, and he didn't hold back at all.

Swords are inherently weapons of violence, primarily for killing!

Sensing Ding Quan's thoughts, the ink on the Longyuan Sword began to fade.

A bright yellow spirit ring appeared on his body, and he thrust his sword directly at his chest again.

"stop!"

Upon seeing this, the burly man instantly activated his martial spirit, taking a leap forward and hammering towards Ding Quan.

Seeing the force of the hammer aimed at him, and unable to withstand it, Ding Quan gave up chasing the woman. With a focused mind, the sharpness of the Dragon Abyss Sword suddenly appeared.

He swept his sword towards the fist that was returning to him.

The man sensed the sharpness of the sword, and a shield immediately appeared on his fist. The Dragon Abyss Sword touched it but failed to shatter it immediately.

Ding Quan felt a tremendous force coming from the Dragon Abyss Sword. He immediately took a step back, and at the same time, the Dragon Abyss Sword increased its force.

Although Ding Quan, who has absorbed the Thousand-Year Whale Glue, is not very old, he is already over 1.5 meters tall, his body has begun to develop rapidly, and his physical strength is not weak under the enhancement of the sword sheath.

The shield on the opponent's fist shattered instantly, and Old Bear's expression changed; he did not advance again.

Seeing that Ding Quan had been defeated, the man went to help Wildflower Soul Master.

At the same time, he looked at the yellow spirit ring at Ding Quan's feet with a serious expression. Had he kicked a hornet's nest?

Seeing the two spirit rings on the other person's body, one white and one yellow, and noticing that the white spirit ring dimmed slightly, Ding Quan frowned. This person was not easy to deal with.

His attack only shattered the shield created by the opponent's first soul skill, which was a ten-year soul skill.

It seems that as a Soul Master's level increases, the power of their Soul Skills will also increase due to the increase in Soul Power.

Ding Quan had encountered the century-old defensive skills of ordinary first-ring Soul Masters in the Great Soul Arena; they couldn't withstand a sword strike amplified by his mental power.

Judging from their appearances, they weren't very old.

The man wasn't very tall, but he was muscular and strong. His martial spirit was a bear, and he seemed very honest and kind.

Seeing him like this, Ding Quan realized that one should not judge a book by its cover.

This Wildflower Soul Master looks to be around thirty years old, and if she weren't so angry right now, she would be quite attractive.

This is normal. As long as a Soul Master's Martial Soul isn't too bizarre, it won't look bad.

The people at the inn, who were awakened by the woman's screams, saw the spirit ring in Ding Quan's room and many chose to leave and no longer watch.

Battles between Soul Masters are somewhat dangerous for ordinary people.

"Old Bear, finish him off!!" The woman's voice came through gritted teeth, blood still gushing from her severed arm, which she had to stop by using her soul power.

"Know!"

Seeing that the opponent only had one spirit ring, yet was able to shatter his first spirit skill, the bear spirit master immediately revealed his ferocious intent.

Since such a person has already been offended, they cannot be allowed to leave.

Regardless of which family or power the other party comes from.

Unfortunately, before he could make a move, a sword light suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Ding Quan gave the two no chance to catch their breath and immediately pressed forward again, his target being the already injured female soul master.

Seeing this, the bear soul master no longer hesitated, and his yellow soul rings flashed.

"Second Soul Skill - Vajra Palm!"

The Bear Soul Master's hands transformed into enormous bear paws, striking towards the Dragon Abyss Sword.

With a thought, the Dragon Abyss Sword revealed a hint of sharpness, colliding with the Bear Soul Master's bear paw.

Ding Quan suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from the Dragon Abyss Sword. This place was too cramped and not conducive to his own movements.

Using the momentum, he backed up and climbed over the window to get outside.

After assessing his own strength, it seemed that he was not strong enough to fight against a Great Soul Master who had activated his Soul Skill.

Ding Quan has a strong sense of soul power. This Xiong Wu Soul Master is a low-level Great Soul Master. There are many Soul Masters with this kind of soul power aura in the Soul Arena.

Strength was not his forte, and with a thought, the ink on the Longyuan Sword began to dissipate.

The damage from the opponent's soul skill is not enough to hurt me, so I'll kill him next!

Since the other party has chosen to attack me, there's no need to hesitate. At worst, I can kill him and leave.

Having consumed several pieces of whale glue, coupled with the resilience granted by the sword sheath and the damage reduction from his first soul skill, this attack was only enough to make him retreat a few steps.

The female Soul Master on the other side was in a different situation; her arm had been severed by a sword, and if she didn't receive timely treatment, she might bleed to death.

The other party wouldn't dare to delay.

If that sword strike had been any faster, Ding Quan was confident he could have beheaded him.

Ding Quan was prepared for the killing, so he did not feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, he became excited.

Holding sharp weapons, their murderous intent surged! Ding Quan's gaze towards the two men suddenly turned dangerous.

"Let's kill him together!" The two jumped out of the window.

Feeling the injuries she had sustained and hearing Ding Quan's gaze, the female soul master covered her wound with her only hand and roared at the bear soul master.

At the same time, the white spirit ring flashed, and then his gaze turned to Ding Quan.

Ding Quan felt a slight mental lapse, but he snapped back to reality in an instant.

It's a rare form of mental attack, but I wonder if this skill should be avoided when using it on someone with strong mental power.

The bear soul master also struck out with a palm, and both of them smiled, this move was always effective.

Ding Quan grinned, his spiritual power surging!

Since learning that mental will can influence martial soul, Ding Quan has been constantly training his mental strength. Although he doesn't know how to enhance it, his exquisite control over soul power means that his mental strength is definitely not low.

A surge of spiritual power instantly shattered the Wildflower Soul Master's soul skill, and then the ink-black color on the Dragon Abyss Sword's blade faded, revealing a bright silver color.

"Ah~!"

In an instant, the female soul master turned pale, let out a scream, and staggered to her knees.

The bear soul master's paw met head-on with the sharp tip of the Dragon Abyss Sword, its ink color now gone.

The sword's primary attack technique is thrusting, and Ding Quan used all his strength in this strike!

"Aww~!"

The bear soul master's bear paw was instantly defeated by the Longyuan Sword, his soul skill was directly broken, and the Longyuan Sword directly pierced his palm.

The bear spirit master roared in pain, then instantly retreated, looking at the hole in his palm and warily eyeing Ding Quan. This spirit was terrifyingly strong!

Seeing him rush forward again, he hurriedly took out a package from his pocket and threw it at Ding Quan.

Ding Quan dodged away instantly, and the object he had just placed on the ground exploded, creating a thick cloud of smoke.

Did they escape?

Ding Quan did not chase after them, but instead went to the room.

He glanced at the damaged room; the severed arm had also been taken away.

It seems that the female Soul Master took it away. Considering that there is a healing Soul Master, it shouldn't be a big problem to reconnect with her.

After glancing at the situation at the post station, Ding Quan sneered and left.

"That's incredible! A one-ring Soul Master chasing down two two-ring Great Soul Masters!" The battle lasted only a minute. After the group left, the people from the other rooms came out.

"Those two are really done for this time!"

"Those two seem to be from the brokerage firm, and they have several Grand Soul Masters behind them."

"The broker, then he deserves it."

"The brokerage firm only has Great Soul Masters. This person is so strong, he must be from a powerful family. The brokerage firm is doomed."

"I've heard that the city lord seems to be behind the brokerage firm."

……

After hearing the discussions of several people, Ding Quan's figure disappeared from the roof.

"Only Great Soul Masters?" Ding Quan calmed his agitated soul power; this was the first time he had attacked someone who was about to kill.

I don't seem to feel anything, and I did have some killing intent when I had the Dragon Abyss Sword in my hand.

According to the principle that swords belong to the metal element, they do indeed require decisive action to unleash their power.

The latest novel is first published here!

He touched the storage soul tool, then followed the trail of blood.

This city is not large, much smaller than Binhai City, and has only one primary Soul Master Academy. It is probably similar to Notting City.

In such a place, it's true that a few powerful Soul Masters can act arrogantly. Ding Quan's clothes were very expensive, so it's no wonder that the two of them were greedy for money.

Hearing that the female soul master had taken a liking to his appearance, was it because her goal wasn't just his money, but also that she considered him her prey?

Now the roles have been reversed.

The female soul master was seriously injured, and the bloodstains were impossible to conceal.

Ding Quan arrived outside the city and saw a drop of blood at his feet; they had left the city.

He chased after the direction where the bloodstains disappeared, and at the same time, a bow and arrow appeared in his hand, with an arrow in his hand.

It would be difficult to deal with a Grand Soul Master like Ding Quan, but Ding Quan would have no trouble using this composite bow.

In the dense forest, the bear soul master carried the female soul master away quickly, and the bloodstains on his clothes dripped onto the leaves.

The female soul master temporarily stopped the bleeding with her soul power, but due to the backlash to her spirit and excessive blood loss, her face was extremely pale.

Although the bear soul master was not seriously injured, his face was full of unease. He had never seen such a powerful soul master before.

A Soul Master with such strength, coupled with a powerful Martial Soul, must likely have a powerful force behind them.

Ordinary Soul Masters don't have such powerful strength; that kind of power is something not everyone can achieve.

The soul skills of the two people had no effect on him at all. This time he was really in trouble.

Looking behind him, the bear soul master had a feeling that the other party was catching up, but would the other party, a one-ring soul master, really dare to follow?

"Old Bear, we need to move."

"I know, but what about your injuries?" Hearing the female Soul Master's weak voice, the Bear Soul Master nodded and then sped up again.

"We can handle it simply when the time comes. The other side is not simple, and we cannot stay any longer."

"I have a feeling." Xiong Wuhun, the Soul Master, glanced behind him again but found nothing unusual.

"Let's stop going around in circles and go straight back to headquarters. Although he's strong, we're not to be trifled with either."

"Hmm, I guess I was overthinking it." The bear soul master stopped and glanced behind him, then sniffed the air hard and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ding Quan glanced at the soul power covering his entire body and released the drawn bowstring.

Seeing that the two had changed direction and had spoken to each other, the two turned and walked deeper into the mountains and forests.

What important place are we going to?

Ding Quan's gaze shifted slightly as he glanced at the composite bow in his hand, then followed.

Half an hour later, Ding Quan saw a valley in front of him, with a river flowing through it.

A manor was built on the banks of this river.

Ding Quan watched the two enter the manor, and then, taking advantage of the darkness, he walked across the cliff face as if it were flat ground.

Upon seeing the scene in the manor, Ding Quan realized where he was.

Although there were many rooms in the manor, they were extremely simple, and one could vaguely see that many children were being held captive inside.

Human trafficking? If I didn't have some strength, I might be one of them.

Although the people of Douluo Continent oppose the buying and selling of people, this is clearly a pointless statement, as slavery is extremely common in Douluo Continent.

It's obvious how those auction house staff got their jobs; they're able to conduct buying and selling openly and honestly.

There were quite a few people detained here. Ding Quan sensed that most of them were ordinary people.

Most of them were children and girls, and they were all quite good-looking.

The screams of women could be heard from several other rooms. Ding Quan sighed and then moved toward the innermost room.

There were fluctuations of soul power in the innermost rooms, and there were many people around with soul power similar to Ding Quan's.

It seems that besides the several high-level Soul Masters from the brokerage firm that I heard about at the post station, there are also a few first-ring Soul Masters there.

Ding Quan slowly attached his soul power to the surface of his body without missing any, before leaning towards the window.

Ding Quan glanced through the window and saw six people, including the two he was fighting, three men and one woman.

This room is very important. Ding Quan saw Xiong Hunshi open a secret room and then take out some medicinal herbs.

Although Ding Quan didn't know what was in the secret room, he saw several boxes on the side, one of which was open and contained gold soul coins that were not yet full.

Among the several Great Soul Masters, the woman is a healing Soul Master, and she is currently healing the severed arm with the Flower Martial Soul.

The other three have similar soul power levels to Xiong Wu, a soul master.

They are all low-level Great Soul Masters.

It seems that the Flower Martial Soul Master actually has the highest soul power level. Considering her soul skills, her soul skills are very effective at kidnapping others.

This is probably why the Bear Soul Master took her away.

With four more Great Soul Masters, Ding Quan is now a bit more difficult to deal with.

Ding Quan decided to send these people on their way, since many of the people they trafficked were probably kidnapped.

More importantly, Ding Quan saw a corner of the secret room.

In less than half an hour, the man's arm, which Ding Quan had severed, had been reattached, though it didn't seem very flexible.

Ding Quan also gained an understanding of the healing abilities of healing soul masters. It was astonishing that such an injury as a severed hand could be healed so quickly, even though the arm was still intact.

Indeed, healing Soul Masters are quite outrageous. If there is a healing Soul Master on the team during a Soul Battle, injuries can be healed in seconds.

Just as Ding Quan was wondering when to make his move, a sudden commotion arose, and an arrogant man walked in.

This man made no attempt to hide his slightly arrogant demeanor; he was dressed as a servant.

Could this be someone from the power behind them, someone from the city lord of this small town?

"Butler, I didn't expect you to come in person."

Despite her pale face, the spirit master Hua Wuhun, whose arm had been chopped off by Ding Quan, still went to greet him, indicating that she held a high position here.

She is indeed the strongest in terms of soul power, and her soul skills are bizarre.

"I heard you failed? And the opponent was only a one-ring Soul Master." A somewhat contemptuous tone reached Ding Quan's ears.

"Yes, butler, what brings you here?"

"We don't know who these two people are, but the master told me to take them away first."

"But sir, they haven't..."
