Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 68 Meeting an Acquaintance

"You've found something?" Seeing Wang Nan's actions, Gongyang Mo also hurriedly stood up.

"Even if they aren't evil spirit masters, they're definitely not an ordinary team. Let's get closer and take a look."

The two hurried northwest. Even without using their martial spirits, relying solely on their physical abilities, the three-kilometer journey took Wang Nan and Gongyang Mo less than two minutes.

Seeing the target displayed on the soul guide detector right in front of him, Wang Nan looked up and saw a quiet village.

Wang Nan recognized the village, but the map Pan Yue brought indicated that it had been attacked by the Sun Moon Empire, and the villagers should have left long ago.

There were no lights in the village, as if no one lived there. However, this only confirmed Wang Nan's suspicions.

Wang Nan turned around and handed the soul guide detector to Gongyang Mo. "Your martial soul is too conspicuous. Don't rush to make a move. I'll go first. You keep an eye on the soul guide detector. If anyone else appears around us, let me know immediately."

"Okay," Gongyang Mo replied in a low voice.

Wang Nan calmed his mind and connected his consciousness with the sea of ​​spirit. His vast spiritual power surged and spread outwards.

Although it was only a rudimentary application of mental power, unlike the precise and concealed mental detection of a spiritual master, it was still able to alert Wang Nan to changes around him in the first instance, allowing him to prepare.

This method of using mental energy is quite taxing. If it weren't for Wang Nan's exceptional talent and constant training since childhood, most Soul Kings would never have this ability.

After walking several dozen steps forward, Wang Nan heard several children's suppressed cries through the house.

Wang Nan frowned. It seemed that the soul-guided detector hadn't detected only evil soul masters; some of them were children with soul power that they had captured.

It seems I'll have to get Ye Xiaosheng to add a function to assess a target's strength when we get back. If he weren't so cautious, he might have already fired a soul-guided cannon. Then, who knows who the real evil soul master would be?

After taking a few more steps forward, Wang Nan's spiritual power finally made contact with his targets. Two of them were quite strong, probably at the Soul King level, while the other four were far weaker than Wang Nan.

Having confirmed the target, Wang Nan nodded slightly to Gongyang Mo behind him. The Shrek Academy's ring appeared in Wang Nan's hand for a moment, and then immediately disappeared.

There was no time to change his clothes, so Wang Nan simply put on a dark green cloak and a monster mask to cover his face.

With a flick of his right hand, the Soul Guidance Cannon appeared in Wang Nan's hand. The moment the yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black colors appeared, a strong white light condensed at the cannon's muzzle.

The soul-guided cannon fired silently, only making a loud noise when it landed and lifted a house high into the air.

Of the four weaker evil spirit masters, one of them immediately fell silent.

"Who?"

A loud shout came from the ruins bombarded by the soul cannon. Two Soul Kings lit up their soul rings, and their configurations were the same as Wang Nan's, with the best soul ring ratio.

Wang Nan didn't have the bad habit of wasting time talking before the battle; without saying a word, he picked up a stick and charged forward.

Both evil soul masters were weapon soul masters. A semi-transparent shadow rose around one of them, and the shadow's face showed a pained expression.

Fifth Soul Skill: Lawful Strike.

Wang Nan unleashed a ten-thousand-year soul skill, sending a golden dragon soaring into the sky from the Panlong Staff before hurtling towards the evil soul master.

With a burst of golden light, all of the evil soul master's soul rings disappeared one by one, and finally even his martial soul vanished without a trace.

The evil soul master felt his soul power dissipate completely, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. The next moment, Wang Nan was already pointing the Panlong Staff at his chest.

There was a sound of bones breaking, followed by a hole the size of a washbasin in his chest, and his body fell to the ground, broken in two.

Wang Nan himself did not expect that both the divine beast Bi'an, the source of his fifth soul skill, and his own martial soul carried some attributes of "fairness" or "justice".

Against ordinary Soul Masters, the fifth Soul Skill can only seal one Soul Ring. However, against evil Soul Masters, the effects of the Soul Skill and the Martial Soul are superimposed. Against Soul Masters with weaker Soul Power, it can even temporarily seal all of their Soul Power.

Although it was only for a moment, in that instant, it was equivalent to the Dragon Staff falling on an ordinary person, and the result was self-evident.

"What did you do?" The remaining evil spirit master's martial spirit was a red sword. He was about to rush forward when he saw his companion being instantly killed by Wang Nan. His body stopped involuntarily, and he no longer had the courage to face Wang Nan. He just tightly gripped his martial spirit with both hands.

"Someone's coming!" Gongyang Mo, who had been keeping an eye on the soul-guided detector as Wang Nan had instructed, suddenly spoke up to warn them.

Upon hearing this, Wang Nan glanced at a nearby house. There were still some children there; it seemed he had no choice but to act quickly.

The evil soul master also heard Gongyang Mo's words, and his face suddenly lit up with excitement. He patted his waist, and three soul-guided shields and a soul-guided protective barrier rose up in front of him. It seemed he was preparing to hold off the soul masters until they arrived.

Looking at the evil soul master who was cowering like a turtle, Wang Nan activated his first, second, and fourth soul rings simultaneously, boosting his speed, strength, and all attributes. In the blink of an eye, Wang Nan was already in front of the evil soul master.

Wang Nan gripped the dragon-patterned staff with both hands, his right hand positioned in the middle to rear section and his left hand on the handle, as he chopped the staff vertically downwards.

Three crisp voices rang out almost simultaneously. Even through the semi-transparent soul guide shield, Wang Nan could still see the lingering smile on the evil soul master's face.

The evil soul master looked at Wang Nan, who was like a strange, ferocious tiger, staring at him with its gaping maw and claws outstretched. The soul-guided shield that had blocked countless attacks for him was as fragile as a piece of paper.

The next moment, the enormous tiger claw, carrying an irresistible force, landed on the evil soul master's shoulder.

Wang Nan cleaved through all the evil spirit master's defenses with a single blow, then crossed his hands, spun the staff, and a large head flew into the air, the smile still lingering on his face.

Despite both being Soul Kings, this evil Soul Master couldn't even last a few breaths under Wang Nan's staff.

Wang Nan's soul power trembled slightly as he dispersed the blood on the Panlong Staff, then his eyes turned westward. Without Gongyang Mo's prompting, he could already see three figures rapidly approaching from there.

Each of the three had a pair of wings on their backs, which explains why they were able to arrive so quickly.

All three were wearing black cloaks. The one in the lead was the fastest, his red wings unfurled, and with a flap of his wings, he was already in front of Wang Nan.

The man raised his head slightly, and by the moonlight, Wang Nan recognized him—it was Ji Tongxuan, who had been taken away a few years ago.
