Douluo Continent: Targeted Thoughts, Winning Over Bibi Dong at the Start

Chapter 41 The Depraved Ones Who Have Lost Their Inhumanity

Qin Heng suppressed the raging anger surging within him and, instead of lingering, quickly began a search.

With his mental strength comparable to that of a titled Douluo, he quickly swept through every inch of the village. Finally, in a hidden cellar at the back of the village, he found five surviving children.

The oldest of the five children was about twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest looked no more than five or six.

They huddled in a corner of the cellar, pale-faced, their eyes filled with terror and numbness.

Clearly, at the last moment, their parents or elders risked their lives to hide them, giving them a chance to survive.

Qin Heng kept his voice and movements as soft as possible, carrying them one by one out of the cellar and leading them to a relatively secluded granary in the village, where he could clearly see the activity at the village entrance.

He quickly learned what had happened from the oldest boy.

About three hours ago, a group of Soul Masters dressed in black robes and with a cold demeanor suddenly broke into the village.

The leader was a powerful Soul Master with a bat-type Martial Soul. He had eight Soul Rings and his strength reached the Soul Douluo level.

The group of degenerates went on a killing spree as soon as they entered the village, using extremely cruel methods.

They not only drained the villagers of their blood, but also specifically targeted the elderly and children, ripping out their hearts, cutting off their limbs, and torturing them, as if they took pleasure in killing and suffering.

After listening, Qin Heng gently patted the boy's shoulder, his voice deep yet undeniably firm: "Stay here and don't come out. Very powerful Soul Masters will arrive soon. They are the Angel Legion of the Spirit Hall. They will stop and investigate when they see the situation in the village. Then you will be safe."

He then took out some dry food and water from his storage soul tool and placed them within easy reach of the children before standing up.

The five children looked at the figure covered in armor, and although they couldn't see the face, they instinctively felt a reassuring power.

The eldest boy choked back tears as he asked, "Soul...Soul Master, where...where are you going?"

Qin Heng turned around, his Asura Armor gleaming with a cold, blood-red light in the sunlight. His voice was calm, yet carried a chilling killing intent: "I'm going to kill all those beasts."

After saying that, he didn't hesitate any longer. With a flash, he rushed out of the granary and sped towards the official road leading from the village to the Star Luo Empire.

Since the angel legion will arrive soon, the safety of these children will be guaranteed.

He himself is nothing more than a clone; at worst, he can be scattered and then reassembled.

Now, all he wants is to catch up and personally tear those inhuman, depraved people to shreds without leaving a single one behind!

With the second soul skill of the Asura Armor activated at full power, Qin Heng's figure transformed into a dark red afterimage, carrying boundless rage as he frantically pursued the direction in which the Fallen Ones had departed.

Qin Heng transformed into a dark red afterimage, speeding along the official road. The powerful amplification provided by the Asura Armor made him incredibly fast, and the scenery along the way almost turned into blurry afterimages.

However, the further he went, the heavier his mood became.

About twenty minutes later, he encountered three more villages in succession.

The first village was slightly smaller than Qinghe Village, and it was equally desolate.

At the village entrance lay several corpses, torn beyond recognition. The pungent stench of blood mixed with the putrid smell of rotting entrails made it almost impossible to breathe.

Qin Heng quickly searched the entire village and eventually found only three trembling children in a dry well behind the village. The eldest girl was tightly hugging two smaller boys, her lips were pale, but she was clenching her teeth to keep from crying out loud.

The second village was right across from the first village. The situation in this village was even more tragic. The entire village was almost completely wiped out by bloodshed. Many houses were destroyed by soul skills, and there were severed limbs everywhere on the ground.

Qin Heng rescued three more children from the ruins of a collapsed woodshed. The youngest was so frightened that he couldn't even speak and just stared blankly at the sky.

He placed the six children in relatively safe places, left them with food and water, and used his mental power to set up a simple soul barrier nearby to prevent wild animals from approaching.

By the time he reached the fourth village, it was already getting a little dark.

This village is larger than the previous ones, with about a hundred households.

But the moment Qin Heng stepped into the village, an even stronger sense of bloodshed and deathly silence washed over him. He pushed his mental energy to its limit, searching the entire village three times, but found not a single living person.

All the villagers, young and old, were brutally slaughtered. Many of their bodies were arranged in various twisted positions, clearly indicating that they had suffered great pain and torment before their deaths.

Some houses still had embers remaining, and the smell of burnt food mixed with the stench of blood was nauseating.

Standing under the old locust tree in the center of the village, stained red with blood, Qin Heng's hands clenched so tightly under his Shura Armor that they cracked, and the anger in his chest had reached its peak.

"Beast." Since his transmigration, he had never felt such a strong urge to kill.

About half an hour later, three figures finally appeared ahead.

The three men were sitting leisurely in a clearing at the edge of a grove of trees, forming a circle, each holding a bloody object and devouring it.

Upon closer inspection, what they were holding were actually hearts, still with blood vessels and fascia attached!

Witnessing this scene, the killing intent in Qin Heng's eyes almost solidified.

Without wasting words, he instantly summoned the Asura Demon Dagger in his right hand with a thought, its silver-white blade gleaming with a cold, menacing light in the sunlight.

Beneath his feet, the fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up, and dense wind attribute spirit power surged wildly into the Asura Demon Dagger, instantly giving the dagger's surface a layer of sharp, bluish-green luster.

"Die!" Qin Heng hissed, his wrist suddenly lashing out.

Two beams of light, almost as thin as a hair, shot out from the demonic dagger in an instant, intertwining and spreading rapidly in the air, transforming in the blink of an eye into a vast blue net covering an area.

The mesh is as fine as fish scales, and each thread contains extreme sharpness and cutting power.

The three fallen ones didn't even have time to react, or even a chance to look up, before they were suddenly enveloped by this large blue net.

Hiss hiss hiss hiss!

A series of fine, rapid cutting sounds suddenly rang out, as if countless sharp blades were twisting together at the same time.

The three bodies were instantly cut into countless tiny pieces, with blood, bits of flesh, and internal organs scattering like rain.

Before they died, they only had time to let out a short, mournful wail, a sound filled with extreme pain and disbelief.

Soon, only puddles of mud mixed with pieces of flesh and blood remained on the spot. "Qin Heng" stood there, but there was no joy in his eyes. Killing three was far from enough.

According to intelligence, there were more than thirty Fallen Ones in total, and their leader was a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse. These three were just scum who lagged behind; the real culprits were still ahead.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the murderous intent that was almost boiling in his heart, and looked coldly ahead on the official road, continuing to chase after the Star Luo Empire.
