Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Agave, Self-created Earth God Position

"You have already chosen a path to death..."

"Do I have a way to die?"

This is the biggest joke Scott has heard all year.

These words came from the mouth of a mere Grand Soul Master.

"Hehehehehehe..."

Upon hearing this, Scott laughed maniacally and arrogantly.

"You may not know the difference between a Soul Master and a Soul King, let alone that you are a Great Soul Master, you are not even a Soul Venerable."

"But that's alright, let me teach you a lesson today."

"And tuition fees? They're your lives."

After Scott finished speaking, all of his spirit rings lit up.

One white, three yellow, and one purple.

"First Soul Skill, Corrosive Missile!"

Scott's body changed.

It grew fangs from its mouth, and its nails turned into sharp claws.

Scott opened his blood-red mouth and inhaled sharply.

He then vomited five shots of thick green liquid.

Wherever it passed, trees were scorched and leaves were rotten and decayed.

Qin Ming neither dodged nor avoided, and his first spirit ring shone with a yellow light.

【Azure Wolf Flame Claw】Hands transform into flaming wolf claws, tearing out three crescent-shaped fire blades in mid-air.

The fire blade collided with the acid ball, exploding into a large cloud of foul-smelling white smoke.

A few drops of residual liquid splashed onto Qin Ming's sleeve, immediately burning a hole the size of a fist.

"Interesting." Scott narrowed his eyes and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"First Soul Skill: Take Root and Sprout".

Multiple agave plants immediately sprouted from the ground within the area to block and slow down the man in black.

Sabo was helpless; the man in black was too fast.

With a whoosh, the man in black vanished from the spot.

Qin Ming felt a sense of foreboding; his wolf-like intuition sent a frantic warning through him.

The second and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and Scott pounced from below, his claws glowing with an eerie light: "Tear Claws!" The hyena's signature killing move, targeting the abdomen and hind legs.

The angle was extremely tricky, precisely targeting the weakest point in Qin Ming's flame defense.

"Don't even think about it!" Qin Ming suddenly leaped up, raising his hand to exchange blows with Scott.

Scott's claws grazed Qin Ming's right calf, tearing off a piece of flesh, and blood splattered.

Even more terrifying, gray-black corrosive lines appeared at the edges of the wound, preventing it from healing.

Qin Ming then brought his five fingers together, engulfed in flames, and struck Scott on the head.

Scott was thrown back by the enormous force.

Blood was gushing from his head, like the afterglow of fireworks dancing in the air.

Scott's smile vanished, replaced by utter astonishment.

"Why was I sent flying by a mere fourth-ring Soul Master?"

"I have at least eight or nine levels more soul power than him, this shouldn't be!"

What Scott didn't understand was that his inferior martial soul was no match for the high-level mutated martial soul, the Fiery Wolf.

Even if Scott increases his strength through killing later on, he still can't compare to Qin Ming, who rose step by step.

In addition, Scott lacked ambition and resorted to such crooked and unethical methods.

His repeated victories in plundering and killing ordinary villagers gave him a false sense of security.

His repeated successes in attacking ordinary mercenaries and low-level soul masters inflated his ego.

If Scott had abandoned his underestimation and prepared himself to fight back seriously,

The difference in his soul power compared to Qin Ming's was enough to make up for the difference in their martial soul grades.

At least he won't be sent flying by Qin Ming.

Unfortunately, Scott was caught off guard by the repeated successes.

After all, no one had been able to withstand his attacks in the past.

As a result, he broke several small trees before finally stopping when he crashed into a large tree.

Scott struggled to his feet and touched the still-bleeding wound on his head.

Most people would have fled immediately after being harmed like this.

However, years of killing had already made Scott mentally unstable.

It had long been corrupted by that evil power.

"This is a tough one. Let's deal with that Great Soul Master first, and then we'll deal with this Soul Master."

He had encountered teams like this before, consisting of a Soul Master and several Great Soul Masters.

Scott always did the same thing: he would prioritize taking out the support and control-type Soul Masters in the team, and then deal with the strongest member of the team last.

This tactic has always worked. A situation like today has never occurred before.

"You actually made me bleed! Hyena attack."

Scott moved even faster than before, ignoring his injuries.

He accelerated in a straight line, transforming into a streak of red light, and rushed straight towards Sabo.

Scott smashed all the agave plants along the way.

Scott's reckless playing style left him covered in injuries.

"As long as I can get to that place and kill that support-type Soul Master, I will be fully recovered, and then that Soul Master will be easy to deal with."

"There wasn't enough time to release the agave to protect myself."

Sabo opened his arms and placed them horizontally in front of his forehead.

The light energy converged in circles on the forehead.

Scott accelerated again, arriving in front of Sabo in the blink of an eye.

Sabo saw himself reflected in the other's eyes.

The timing was perfect; Sabo had already fully charged up.

Shout out the name of the move: "Solar Fist!"

The surrounding area turned deathly white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was as if it had been infused with the blood of the sun.

A low hum filled the air.

boom.

It wasn't an explosion.

It is blossoming.

A beam of white light, a hundred times stronger than the midday sun in midsummer, burst forth from Sabo's forehead, exploding outwards in all directions from him.

That is to release all the stored light energy in an instant.

Bright.

Extremely bright.

Scott's world was completely wiped out at that moment.

Blindness is instantaneous, yet it feels like an eternity.

The man in black screamed in agony.

That wasn't a painful scream, but rather the instinctive, beast-like howl of fear that comes from someone suddenly being deprived of their sight.

His body continued to lurch forward a few steps due to inertia, but his posture was completely distorted.

The claws swung wildly in the air, but missed Sabo's body by a full half meter.

Then came the tinnitus.

The man in black felt something shatter inside his head.

His world became a blank.

There is no up or down, no front or back, no color, no sound.

Only a buzzing, incessant sound echoed within the cranial cavity.

He tried to stand up, but his knees hit the ground hard.

He tried to cover his ears, but all he could touch was wet blood.

The eardrum ruptured due to the pressure difference, and tiny beads of blood seeped out of the ear canal.

"Ah...ah...!"

Scott was still howling.

Qin Ming felt this was a good opportunity.

Immediately unleash the Soul Skill, [Burning Sky Flames].

This is a soul skill that can create waves of fire in the sky, centered on the Fiery Wolf Martial Soul, accompanied by wolf howls, and form several balls of fire to lock onto the opponent and launch an attack.

Ten circular flames bound Scott from top to bottom.

Under the double blow, Scott rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.

"I'm sorry, my flames won't be extinguished even if you pour water on them."

Facing a formidable opponent like Scott who doesn't play by the rules.

Sabo and Qin Ming shared the same idea.

Control the situation first, then unleash the full damage.

Scott is now under control.

Sabo unleashed his first soul skill once again.

An agave plant burst violently from beneath Scott, piercing his lung.

Tequila launched Scott into the air, and then Qin Ming followed up with his most powerful soul skill at Scott's head.

Bang!

Scott's body exploded in mid-air and shattered into several pieces under the double blow.

Pieces fell to the ground.

Puffs of foul-smelling black smoke rose from the ground.

The flesh and blood on it disappeared in no time, leaving only some white bones.

Qin Ming's soul power was severely depleted; he had been gritting his teeth and holding on the whole time.

It's over now, just sprawl out on the ground.

Qin Ming winced in pain as his calf touched the ground.

Sabo immediately ran over to restore Qin Ming's soul power.

However, Sabo was somewhat at a loss regarding Qin Ming's leg injury.

Grayish-black corrosion lines appeared at the edges of the wound.

Logically, now that the men in black are gone, the effects should have worn off.

Unexpectedly, the area not only failed to shrink, but also showed signs of expanding.

Sabo gradually released the sun's energy onto Qin Ming's wounds.

It has some effect, but not much; it can only stop the spread of the black corrosion lines.

Once it stops, it continues to expand outwards.

"Brother Qin, I'm so sorry, I've dragged you into this!"

"I can't just leave you behind. How about this, I'll carry you out to get help."

Without giving Qin Ming a chance to refuse, he carried Qin Ming on his back.

Sabo's right hand rested on Qin Ming's right calf, continuously releasing solar energy little by little.

This inhibits the growth of black corrosion lines.

Sabo took off his shoes, put them in his storage ring, and walked barefoot towards the exit with Qin Ming on his back.

"Brother Sa, you've gone the wrong way. The exit is in that direction..."

-----------------

Teacher Wu Qiqi was unconscious on the ground for a period of time.

He opened his eyes and tried to get up by pushing himself up with his hands on the ground.

But he couldn't get up.

They could only move slowly like maggots, crawling for a long time before finally arriving at the stronghold.

The place was a complete mess; the fire had long since been extinguished.

But he heard many footsteps approaching.

"Looks like they're still coming to take my life! I wonder if Sabo managed to escape."

He struggled to prop himself up, leaning against a wooden stake, his eyes looking to one side—the direction of home.

He was getting sleepy, and his eyes were about to close slowly.

"Help! Help! There are still people alive here!"

Several members of the outpost who had gone out on patrol finally returned.

At first, the team members were chatting and laughing.

He said, "After my shift ends, I'll go to the newly opened restaurant in Wuhun City for some entertainment."

Seeing the stronghold in ruins, and with Old Ma, who was in charge, nowhere to be found.

The group immediately stood back to back, looking around warily.

"Captain, what do we do?"

A Soul Master asked the leading Soul Emperor a question.

"Don't leave my sight. Let's be careful and see if there are any more..."

The search was conducted in pairs, back to back.

A short while later.

One by one, everyone came over to report.

No enemy was seen.

We did not find Old Ma's remains.

The leading Soul Emperor was still analyzing the situation.

Suddenly, they heard a Soul King calling for help.

In a flash, they rushed over.

The Soul Master followed closely behind.

The Soul Emperor looked over and asked, "What's going on, Xiao Wu? What happened here?"

Teacher Wu's eyes, which were about to close, slowly opened again.

He is now so weak and powerless that he doesn't even have the strength to speak, and he can't say anything even if he wants to.

Seeing this, the Soul Emperor ordered two support-type Soul Masters to use their Soul Skills to heal Xiao Wu's body first.

Then another Soul Master brought over the food and water.

Wu Qiqi has regained some of her strength.

Wu Qiqi ate the water and food that the captain handed her, taking small bites.

"It's alright, eat slowly."

After swallowing the last bite of food, Wu Qiqi spoke up, "We were attacked by the Fallen here. Old Ma has been completely devoured by that Fallen."

"I fought with him, and for some reason, that fallen one spared my life and ran away alone..."

"Oh, by the way, I have another student named Sabo. You didn't encounter him on your journey..."

Wu Qiqi knew that asking this question was pointless.

The Starry Sky Forest is so vast, how could we possibly encounter it?

But he still held onto a sliver of hope.

This was the first time in all his years of teaching that he had seen a high-ranking official's son who, despite not being particularly talented, was extremely hardworking.

Any teacher would love a student like this.

"Alright, Xiao Wu, you should get some rest. We'll stay here and protect you."

"Hold on until rescue arrives."

A support-type Soul Master standing nearby interrupted.

"Senior Wu's injuries are quite serious; the only thing we can do is prevent them from worsening."

"Oh? Neither of you can restore Xiao Wu?"

"Captain, please don't make things difficult for us. This is the first time we've encountered such a tricky situation. I'm afraid only a healing-type Soul Master with the Holy Attribute in the city can cure it."

After saying that, the support-type Soul Master tore open Wu Qiqi's pants and pointed to the wound with black corrosive patterns on them.

"Captain, look, this thing is constantly corroding Senior Wu's soul power and life force."

"Xiao Wang and I took turns using our soul skills to barely keep it under control."

"Right now, this black, corrosive pattern is consuming the soul skills that Xiao Wang and I have unleashed."

"If we stop, Senior Wu will be gone in no more than ten minutes."

After a moment's thought, the captain made a decision.

"Ace, how much soul power do you have left?"

"Captain, I still have less than 80% of my soul power left."

"That's enough. Go back immediately and report to them, asking them to send a healing-type Soul Master with the Holy attribute..."

-----------------

The message was relayed layer by layer, and Wuhun City immediately activated its emergency plan.

(Wuhun City) continued to upload the message to the Papal Palace on the mountain.

(Wuhun City) dispatched a level 71 Soul Saint—Lordiara.

His martial spirit is the Golden Eagle, which is very fast and makes him ideal for providing support.

Soon, a series of secret reports of attacks appeared on Pope Qian Xunji's desk.

This is a small meeting room.

Only a few titled Douluo and His Holiness the Pope participated.

The atmosphere at the meeting was somewhat serious.

The titled Douluo only had a general understanding of the situation before they arrived.

After a while, Qian Xunji spoke.

"You should all pass it around and take a look..."

A short while later.

Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke up; he was the Punishment Elder of the Spirit Hall.

"This was a premeditated attack; multiple strongholds were attacked. However, these Fallen Ones are just a rabble."

"Loldial has already been sent to provide support."

"Not enough. We must strike hard. This is no ordinary fallen one."

Subsequently, Pope Chihiro appointed his generals.

They dispatched Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

They also dispatched several Soul Saints, more than ten high-level Soul Emperors, and two teams of Holy-attribute healing Soul Masters.

-----------------

Sabo and Qin Ming were still on their way to the exit.

We're very close now; we can see the city walls.

"Brother Sa, please put me down! My legs are a little numb."

"Put me down and let me walk around!"
