Douluo Continent: Starting with the Tiger Emperor Template

As Lu Ren gradually canceled the effects of the spell, Ye Guyi seemed to finally be able to move a little.

She bit her lower lip, her pupils slightly contracted, and spoke hysterically in a voice so cold it was almost piercing:

"You trashy evil spirit masters, kill me or torture me as you please!"

Her voice trembled, but not from fear; it trembled from anger.

"But as long as I have a breath left, I will make you evil spirit masters pay the price!"

Her soul power began to fluctuate violently at an abnormal frequency.

It seems like this is a prelude to compressing all the soul power in the body to its limit in an instant, and then releasing it completely.

That is, self-destruction!

This stubborn girl, upon realizing she could not escape, chose the most brutal form of resistance.

Just then, a figure rushed in from the alley entrance.

Ji Juechen ran breathlessly to Lu Ren's side, one hand supporting his knee, the other still tightly gripping the silver-white longsword.

His chest heaved violently, and a thin layer of sweat beaded on his forehead, clearly indicating that the chase had been quite arduous.

He took several breaths to catch his breath, then looked up at Lu Ren with a rare hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Your speed is terrifying... You only leave a few footprints after running 100 meters, even I can't keep up with you."

Lu Ren turned his head helplessly and shrugged at Ji Juechen.

"This beautiful lady seems to have mistaken us for evil spirit masters."

Ji Juechen was taken aback. His gaze fell on Ye Guyi, who was leaning against the wall and tightly restrained.

Golden hair, a holy face, a lithe figure beneath a black robe, and eyes full of defiance and anger.

Ji Juechen opened his mouth, but then said nothing.

He had no idea how to talk to a strange girl. His world consisted only of swords, battles, and Lu Ren, a monster who could win his respect.

As for social interaction, especially with the opposite sex, it was even more difficult for him than killing a Soul Saint.

So Ji Juechen stood there, expressionless, looking at Ye Guyi like a silent statue.

Ye Guyi felt uncomfortable under his gaze, but Ji Juechen's arrival made her stop thinking about self-destruction.

Because she could tell that this person had absolutely no connection to evil spirit masters...

At least he didn't have the aura of an evil spirit master.

Lu Ren's lips twitched as he watched this scene. He gave up the idea of ​​asking Ji Juechen to help explain and turned to look at Ye Guyi.

"Alright, you probably heard our conversation, since you were sitting right behind us."

Ye Guyi's eyes flickered slightly.

She did hear it.

In the restaurant, she wrapped herself in a black robe and huddled in a corner, trying not to attract anyone's attention.

But the black-haired boy and his companion happened to sit in front of her, and they happened to be talking about the situation in Mingdu, the Ordinary Alliance, and her name.

The moment the words "Ye Guyi" came out of the black-haired boy's mouth, she froze completely.

She didn't know who the other person was or why they were looking for her, but she knew that her identity had been exposed.

At this critical juncture, with the Xi Shui Alliance conducting a city-wide manhunt for Holy Attribute Soul Masters, any exposure means death.

So she instinctively chose to run away.

Then she was caught up and completely suppressed in a way she couldn't understand at all.

"Of course, you can also try to take us all down with you."

Lu Ren's voice continued.

"But you probably can't do it."

He raised his right hand and casually patted Ye Guyi on the shoulder.

The movement was very light, as if it were an unintentional touch.

But the moment his palm landed on her shoulder, a gentle and pure positive energy seeped into her body through his palm, gently enveloping the soul power that was being frantically compressed in her meridians like an invisible film.

The self-destruct process was forcibly interrupted...

The soul power that had been compressed to its limit slowly dissipated under the soothing effect of positive energy, returning to calm.

Ye Guyi sensed the changes within her body, and her pupils contracted sharply.

"you!"

She wanted to say something, but found that even her last trump card, self-destruction, had been easily neutralized.

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up from the bottom of my heart, suppressing my anger and resentment.

I'll only explain it to you once.

Lu Ren withdrew his hand, took two steps back, and increased the distance between himself and Ye Guyi.

Then he raised his right hand.

Reversal technique, external release.

Warm, positive energy coalesced into a soft sphere of light in his palm.

The sphere of light was a very pale white, emanating a warm aura that brought peace to the depths of one's soul.

It is neither soul power nor elemental energy of any attribute, but pure positive energy without any impurities.

Ye Guyi's gaze fell on the ball of light, and she froze.

She possesses a sacred angel martial soul, giving her a natural affinity and perception for the power of light and life.

In her perception, the aura emanating from that ball of light was even purer than her Holy Angel Martial Soul.

This is not a power that an evil spirit master could possess. If the power of an evil spirit master represents the dark side, then this energy represents the light side.

This is definitely not a power that a mere evil spirit master could wield.

Not to mention how pure the essence of life is contained within this energy.

"Such pure life energy..."

She muttered to herself, and the hostility and wariness in her voice gradually faded away.

Lu Ren withdrew the reversal spell, and the ball of light in his palm quietly dissipated.

He lowered his arms and looked calmly at Ye Guyi.

"Logically speaking, we should all be accomplices. I just wiped out eight branches of the Xishui Alliance yesterday. The number of evil soul masters who died at my hands must be at least a hundred."

Ye Guyi's pupils contracted again; this time, she was utterly shocked.

"So it was you who did it?!"

Her voice rose a few decibels, and there was a hint of resentment in her tone.

"Do you realize how big of a mess you've made? You've completely enraged the Xi Shui Alliance!"

"This time, even Sister Shangguan couldn't protect me. She could only let me leave and hide to avoid being discovered by the Xi Shui Alliance..."

She grew angrier as she spoke, her beautiful eyes filled with grievance.

If it weren't for this person in front of her turning Xi Shui Alliance upside down, would she have to live like a rat in the street, constantly hiding?

Why couldn't he even stay in the Ordinary Alliance and had to escape alone?

But halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized something, and her voice stopped abruptly.

"etc."

She stared at Lu Ren, her eyes becoming wary again.

How exactly did you know I existed?

"Even within the Ordinary Alliance, my information is strictly kept confidential; only Sister Shangguan knows my true identity!"

Lu Ren looked into her wary eyes and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"I have my own channels."

He didn't explain, nor did he need to. He reached out, grasped Ye Guyi's arm, and helped her up from the ground.

Then, with a thought, he completely broke the spell that forbade him to move.

Ye Guyi felt the invisible force that had been binding her quietly dissipate, and her body regained its freedom.

She stretched her stiff wrists, her gaze still fixed on Lu Ren, like a kitten released from its cage but still wary.

Lu Ren extended his hand to her in a friendly manner, saying with goodwill:

"I'm contacting you because I want us to reach a cooperation agreement."

"As you can see, I have shown enough sincerity, and I also have ways to restrain evil soul masters. Your martial soul is the Holy Angel, which is naturally able to restrain all evil. Although you have a good foundation, with your current cultivation level, it will be difficult for you to survive in Mingdu, let alone fight against the Xishui Alliance."

"If we fight side by side, our chances of defeating the Xishui Alliance will be much greater. Why don't you consider it?"
