The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 112 Explosive Kill of the Five

Upon discovering that the tiny golden needle-like arrows on the ground were area-of-effect soul skills released from the air by the enemy, Xia Liang stopped fleeing and turned to look at the sky.

His clairvoyance immediately revealed the white-clad man and the young boy flying through the air.

Before using spatial teleportation to escape, Xia Liang had already seen the thickness of the soul power within the five uninvited guests.

All five of them were powerful individuals at the Soul King level or above, with two of them even reaching the Soul Emperor level.

If we can escape safely, then nothing will happen.

But if these five people insist on tracking him, then he will make sure they die a horrible death.

This is Death Valley. Without anyone witnessing it, if someone kills, burns the body, and then devours the soul, who can find the murderer?

Since entering Death Valley to cultivate, whether it was due to spending too much time in the dangerous environment or because he had devoured several undead to increase his cultivation, Xia Liang's style of doing things has become much more ruthless and vicious, and his attitude has become more resolute.

If you believe you have a chance to turn the tables on your opponent, and you can't escape, then go ahead and kill them.

Solving the problem of creating it is much simpler and more direct than trying to solve it.

At this moment, the man in white and the young boy descended from the sky, intentionally landing on Xia Liang's escape route.

The young man shot a golden arrow into the sky, which shot straight up and exploded like fireworks in the high sky, looking like a signal flare.

The man in white retracted the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone from his left leg, a move that Xia Liang, who had turned to face him, also witnessed.

"Not running away anymore?" the white-robed man said coldly. "You can use that teleportation-type soul skill again to leave. I want to see if your soul power can frequently support you to teleport such long distances."

"Your tracking skills are quite impressive. I was five miles away, yet you still managed to find me."

As he spoke, Xia Liang glanced at the golden bow in the young man's hand and tentatively asked, "That bow spirit seems a bit different from ordinary bow spirits. Is it actually a tracking aid spirit?"

"We are all elite soul masters who are the focus of the Spirit Hall's training, and our spirit abilities must be extraordinary in some way."

The man in white said calmly, "Brother, let's not talk about this anymore. Why did you run away just now? Did you dig out some treasure from inside the Death Spider, right?"

Xia Liang did not reply. Adhering to the principle of "courtesy first, then force," he took out the Elder's Token from the silver bracelet and handed it over.

The man in white had exceptional eyesight and immediately recognized the token. When he saw Xia Liang flip the token over, his pupils contracted.

"Are you one of Elder Pufferfish's people?"

Upon hearing what the man in white said, the young man standing to the side was stunned. How could he have imagined that the guy who stole his Death Spider Soul Ring was so powerful?

Just then, the man in white's three companions suddenly arrived.

The heavily made-up woman searched for something in Xia Liang's hands, and only gritted her teeth in frustration when she found nothing she was looking for.

"Old Gao, have you found anything?" the burly man called Brother Mo asked the white-clad man blocking Xia Liang's way.

The man in white shook his head. "I dare not investigate. He has an elder's token. It seems he has some connection with Elder Poison Pufferfish."

"Oh?" The burly man looked at Xia Liang with some surprise. "May I ask, brother, what is your relationship with Elder Porcupine? My grandfather is Demon Bear Douluo, one of the nine elders of the Spirit Hall. He has a spirit power of level ninety-five. So, Elder Porcupine is my elder. I have never heard of Elder Porcupine having a grandson or disciple like you."

"I am neither the grandson nor the disciple of Elder Porcupine. He simply gave me this Elder's Token to train in Death Valley. If you still believe in this Elder's Token, then please make way. Investigating someone related to the Elder is probably not appropriate."

As he spoke, Xia Liang put the Elder's Token into his silver bracelet.

Seeing this, the heavily made-up woman's eyes lit up. Pointing at the silver bracelet on Xia Liang's left wrist, she shouted, "Brother Mo! Investigate him! If the Death Spider really did have a soul bone explode, then he must have hidden it inside the bracelet's soul tool!"

Upon hearing the term "soul bone" again, the burly man and his three companions remembered that the Death Spider they had just encountered had at least 20,000 years of cultivation. If it had dropped a soul bone, it would definitely be a 20,000-year-old soul bone.

A thousand-year-old soul bone can trigger a conflict between two forces, let alone a ten-thousand-year-old one.

Even though his grandfather, Demon Bear Douluo, didn't have a single soul bone, how could the burly man be willing to give up the opportunity to obtain a ten-thousand-year soul bone?

"Brother Mo, what are you hesitating about? Among the nine elders, your grandfather has the highest soul power, apart from Elders Ju Gui and Elder Mo."

The heavily made-up woman stared greedily at Xia Liang, then said disdainfully, "This mere Elder Pufferfish is nothing more than the lowest among the elders. Don't you dare provoke him?"

"That's true." The burly man's gaze suddenly turned hostile towards Xia Liang. "Kid, in this world, the strong are respected. Even Elder Porcupine would have to comply with my grandfather's search if he were here. Let alone you."

"That Death Spider was originally our prey. If you did indeed drop a Soul Bone, then returning it to us would be returning it to its rightful owner, wouldn't it?"

"The soul beasts in Death Valley are all unclaimed. Although you fought the Death Spider first, you let it escape. When it encountered me again, it became my prey. I killed it and obtained the soul bone, so why should it be yours?"

Seeing that he couldn't avoid this trouble, Xia Liang decided to stop hiding and took out the left arm bone of the Death Spider from the silver bracelet.

Taking out this soul bone means that we must go all the way later; not killing to silence witnesses will only bring us even bigger trouble.

Xia Liang hesitated to make a move earlier because his X-ray vision detected traces of Soul Masters within a radius of several hundred meters. If a battle broke out, it would definitely attract onlookers.

Now that all the Soul Masters within a radius of several hundred meters have gone far away, the Soul Saint powerhouse sent by the Porcupine Douluo to secretly monitor and protect them was also shaken off during the spatial teleportation. As long as they can finish the battle quickly and escape from the original location, no one will discover that someone has killed or been killed.

When Xia Liang took out the left arm bone of the human-faced demon spider, the other four people, including the burly man, were stunned.

"There really is a soul bone!" The heavily made-up woman glared at Xia Liang and shouted angrily, "You bastard, that soul bone is ours. Give it back!"

"Fifth Sister is right," the burly man said coldly. "Give it to me, kid, this isn't yours!"

"If you want my soul bone, you can try to kill me, but after you do, I'll let you see your own brains."

Upon hearing Xia Liang's words, the heavily made-up woman glanced at the burly man and said viciously, "Brother Mo, look how shameless he is! This is Death Valley; death is commonplace here. Since he wants to die, why not just grant his wish?"

As his third spirit ring lit up, Xia Liang suddenly teleported behind the heavily made-up woman. Before anyone could react, his elbow slammed into her face like a hammer.

As Xia Liang delivered a swift elbow strike, the heavily made-up woman's facial muscles suddenly contorted. The terrifying impact sent her flying backward, crashing heavily into a large tree before finally falling to the ground.

The burly man five meters away had barely reacted when he immediately activated his Demon Bear Martial Soul.

At that moment, the bone dragon released its left palm bone, and Xia Liang's left hand transformed into a black dragon claw, grabbing the burly man's neck and entire body tightly in his hand as if taking something from a distance.

At the same time, Xia Liang activated the Bone Dragon Thrust skill, which attached to his left palm, and a sharp black bone pierced out from his left palm.

There was a soft "plop" sound.

A sharp, black bone pierced through the burly man's neck, and blood bloomed like fireworks on the back of his neck.

This series of attacks was completed in an instant. When the burly man reacted, he found himself inexplicably grabbed by the neck before he could even activate his martial soul. Just as he was about to break free, he was suddenly pierced to death by black bones.

Under the dark influence of the Bone Dragon's Thrust, the burly man's entire skeleton and flesh rapidly collapsed, and he vanished into thin air in Xia Liang's left palm grip.

As he watched his boss being reduced to ashes, the tall, thin man standing to the side couldn't help but feel horrified. He subconsciously took two steps back, but suddenly a huge palm bone of a skeletal right arm gripped his body.

A black flame, formed from the condensation of fire energy and dark attributes, suddenly burst and burned at the metacarpal bone.

The tall, thin man's body was first crushed by the giant palm bone, and then burned to ashes by the burst of black flames.

In less than thirty seconds, a Soul Emperor and a Soul King were killed before they could even react, and their bodies were disposed of.

Seeing this, the young man in the distance was also gripped by fear. A five-person team composed entirely of Soul Kings and above had been killed by a four-ring Soul Master, a result he had never anticipated.

"He actually has a fourth spirit ring that's been around for ten thousand years?"

The young man then noticed that Xia Liang's spirit rings were a combination of two yellow, one purple, and one black.

"Calm down, Ah Xin. I'm a level 63 Soul Emperor, and you're a level 60 Quasi-Soul Emperor. We both have ten-thousand-year soul rings, and we have more than ten levels of soul power more than him. Are you afraid we can't win? You support me with the golden arrow from the side. I'm going to kill him!"

After giving the young boy some instructions, the man in white activated his fifth soul skill, and the surrounding wind vortex transformed into two wind blades in his hands.

He charged forward like a gust of wind, his entire body crashing into Xia Liang like a crescent-shaped blade of blue-white wind. The surrounding trees were cut apart and disintegrated by the rampaging wind.

Blue Silver Emperor activated his right leg bone skill, Flight, and Xia Liang flew into the sky to dodge the white-robed man's sudden wind blade slash.

At the same time, his body was enveloped in the ossified Susanoo half-skull form.

Under the control of his mind, the bone-transformed Susanoo drew the black-purple Totsuka Blade from behind his back with his right hand, and a flame energy light sword swiftly slashed down towards the white-robed man's position.

The moment the man in white looked up, the dark purple Totsuka Sword came crashing down on him.

Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The massive fiery energy sword cleaved the ground, creating a fifteen-meter-long crack, and the white-clad man was instantly pulverized by this strike.

His spirit was sealed in his spine by the Ten-Fist Sword, leaving only a piece of his ten-thousand-year-old left leg bone on the cracked ground.

A golden arrow with paralyzing and tracking effects suddenly struck the ossified Susanoo's ribs, but was instantly shattered into powder and dissipated.

Xia Liang looked in the direction from which the golden arrow had come, and what came into his view was a young man maintaining a drawn bow.

Another golden arrow shot out from the young man's golden bow spirit, heading straight for the skull of the bone-transformed Susanoo.

A similar scene unfolded once again: no matter which part of the boned Susanoo the golden arrow struck, it would be instantly shattered.

Of course, one must retaliate after being attacked. In mid-air, Xia Liang raised the left hand of the boned Susanoo forward, and a huge black-purple Susanoo bow appeared on his wrist.

The ossified Susanoo made a drawing motion with its right hand, and an arrow burning with black flames was already formed on the Susanoo Bow.

Upon seeing this, the young man, who was also drawing his bow, couldn't help but frown. Just as he was about to shoot his golden arrow, he was pierced through the body by a giant black-purple arrow shot from Susanoo's bow.

When the young man finally realized what was happening, his face was filled with terror. He found himself impaled on the ground by a huge blackish-purple arrow, his body gradually turning to ashes as it burned in black flames, and his consciousness and soul being sucked into the mouth of a blackish-purple skull.

After devouring the souls of the young boy and the others, Xia Liang discovered that his soul power had directly broken through from level 49 to level 50, and his necromantic power had increased.

Upon contact with the ossified Susanoo, Xia Liang landed on the ground. He used the telekinetic ability of the bone dragon's external left palm bone to grab the scattered rings, bracelets, and other items in his hand.

These items are the storage soul tools of the young man and the others. As elites that the Spirit Hall focuses on cultivating, their soul tools must contain a lot of cultivation resources.

Besides the soul tool, Xia Liang discovered that he also had a ten-thousand-year-old left leg bone in his left hand. This must have been dropped by the white-robed man, and its associated skill was related to the wind attribute.

After stuffing the obtained soul tool into his clothes, and then storing the ten-thousand-year-old left leg bone and the Death Spider's left arm bone into his silver bracelet, Xia Liang walked towards a large tree.

At this moment, the heavily made-up woman who had been elbowed was leaning against a big tree, looking horrified. She had witnessed Xia Liang repeatedly crushing her teammates to ashes, and the fear in her heart was fully displayed on her somewhat distorted face.

"No. Don't kill me—"

As Xia Liang approached, enveloped by the bone-transformed Susanoo, the heavily made-up woman desperately leaned back, her voice trembling as she spoke, "You, you've killed so many people, you'll definitely be discovered, and then you won't escape death either!"

"This is Death Valley; death is commonplace here. You are indeed dead, but you were killed by the spirit beasts here. How could I, a mere four-ring Soul Master, possibly wipe out your three Soul Kings and two Soul Emperors?"

As he spoke, Xia Liang controlled the boned Susanoo to raise its massive right arm and slam it down. The heavily made-up woman was horrified and her entire body was smashed into the ground, with crimson blood splattering from the surface.

As black flames burned, the heavily made-up woman's shattered body was reduced to ashes.

Her spirit was devoured by the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul.

After carefully observing his surroundings with his X-ray vision and finding no trace of any corpses or hidden bystanders, Xia Liang left the spot and headed towards the entrance of Death Valley.

He had another concern: if the burly man was the grandson of Demon Bear Douluo, he wondered if there would be powerful members of his own clan secretly protecting him when he came to Death Valley for training.

I just used my X-ray vision to check, and I didn't find any Soul Masters hiding in the shadows within a radius of several hundred meters.
