Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 435 First Encounter Kill

When the evil spirit master in the hall turned around, Ji Lin and Ye Guyi realized that the evil spirit master they had mistaken for a warrior was actually a female evil spirit master. Her face was terribly pale, but it was clear that she was originally quite beautiful. However, her eyes were now completely blood red, giving people a shocking sense of horror.

A powerful mental storm erupted from the female evil spirit master, and eight spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—emerged one after another. A huge black shadow appeared behind her, and its ferocious and terrifying appearance instantly amplified the mental fluctuations in the surrounding space several times over.

However, Ji Lin's mental strength was far superior to that of his opponent, and he was not affected in any way. But they had already been exposed. Ji Lin and Ye Guyi exchanged a glance and turned to run away.

This place is the home ground of the Evil Soul Masters and the Sun Moon Empire. If a fight breaks out here, it will quickly attract powerful figures to attack. They came here to rescue people secretly, and they do not want to go all out unless absolutely necessary.

The instant Ji Lin and his companion left, a dark figure burst out of the gate like a storm, its low roar echoing in the air. It had identified the direction Ji Lin and his companion had gone and quickly gave chase.

In fact, Ji Lin was not careless, nor was it Ye Guyi's murderous intent that exposed them. They were just unlucky. The evil soul master who caught up with them was a rare spiritual attribute evil soul master. Her martial soul should be a kind of vengeful spirit, similar to Nana, but much stronger than Nana. She was also an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

Although Ji Lin's mental strength was stronger than his opponent's, he was not a spirit-attribute martial soul after all. He was easily discovered by his opponent. It would be strange if he didn't notice when using mental detection in front of a pure spirit-attribute soul master.

So the moment Ji Lin's mental probe approached the evil soul master, the female evil soul master immediately sensed something was wrong. She discovered Ji Lin's mental probe and, following it, locked onto Ji Lin's figure, quickly giving chase. This is the troublesome thing about mental attribute soul masters.

Spiritual attribute Soul Masters are notoriously powerful and troublesome.

"What should we do? Keep running? Or..."

Ye Guyi looked at Ji Lin, waiting for him to make a decision.

Ji Lin and Ye Guyi weaved through the alleyways, dodging the soul-guided probes in the sky, but their figures had already been locked onto by the female evil soul master. They could dodge the soul-guided probes in the sky, but they couldn't dodge the pursuers behind them.

Seeing the cold light and killing intent in Ye Guyi's eyes, Ji Lin knew what she was thinking. Recalling the bloody scene she had witnessed before, Ji Lin could understand Ye Guyi's current thoughts. She really wanted to kill the evil soul master behind her.

Since that's the case, Ji Lin did as Ye Guyi wished. Originally, with his mental strength, he could have broken free from the female evil soul master's mental lock as long as he created distance. However, since Ye Guyi wanted to make a move, he didn't break free immediately. Instead, he continuously released his mental strength to interfere with the female evil soul master, causing her to make the wrong judgment. She kept chasing, but she could never catch up.

The two sides moved around Sunrise City with astonishing speed.

Gradually, with Ji Lin and Ye Guyi letting them off the hook, the female evil spirit master was getting closer and closer to them.

Suddenly, the female evil spirit master let out a silent howl. The moment the howl was heard, the sky within a radius of several hundred meters distorted. In that instant, all the high-altitude detection soul guides became blurry when detecting this area.

The residents of Sunrise City nearby were unaffected, but Ji Lin and Ye Guyi, who were moving at high speed, felt as if a giant hammer had smashed into their minds. They only heard a piercing scream echoing deep within their souls. Ji Lin was alright, only momentarily dazed, but Ye Guyi's mental strength was inferior to her opponent's, and her cultivation was also a notch below. In that instant, a sharp pain, as if her brain was about to explode, instantly numbed her soul.

This is……!

Ji Lin reacted instantly, pulling Ye Guyi into his arms to prevent her from falling due to inertia. At the same time, his mental energy surged into Ye Guyi's mind to help calm her violently fluctuating mental state.

This is the troublesome thing about spirit-attribute soul masters: bullying opponents with weaker cultivation levels is incredibly easy for them.

In a direct confrontation, Ye Guyi could easily kill a Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level, but if the Soul Master was of the mental attribute, she risked being defeated.

Just like now, the female evil spirit master previously used a self-created spirit skill, a special spirit skill that combines mental power and sound waves.

Through the powerful amplification of mental and soul power, the terrifying sonic waves were directly applied to the opponent's soul. If Ji Lin hadn't possessed strong mental power and been protected by a million-year-old mental-type head soul bone, he would have been paralyzed like Ye Guyi, completely at her mercy. If Ye Guyi had been prepared in advance, she wouldn't have fallen for the attack so easily. However, the sudden attack caught her off guard, meaning she was killed by her opponent, Chu Jian.

Ji Lin, carrying Ye Guyi, jumped behind a wall blocking their path.

After unleashing this attack, the evil spirit master seemed to enter a brief state of stagnation, failing to seize the opportunity to catch up with them immediately.

"Huh!" The evil soul master let out a soft exclamation. Clearly, she was very confident in her self-created soul skill. In the past, even titled Douluo would be hit by her fear shriek the first time they faced her. But she didn't expect Ji Lin to be completely unaffected, which is why she was puzzled. Ye Guyi's performance also indicated that her soul skill should have hit.

As a spirit-type soul master, she could also use her spiritual power to detect Ji Lin and Ye Guyi's cultivation levels. Although Ji Lin's spiritual power was very strong, his cultivation level was indeed below hers. Ye Guyi was the same; both of them were Soul Saints, but their cultivation levels were a whole grade lower than hers. In her opinion, that attack should have directly destroyed their opponents, or at least severely injured them. However, Ji Lin only dazed for a moment before returning to normal.

A Soul Saint possesses such powerful spiritual energy, how interesting!

A chilling smile appeared on the pale face of the female evil spirit master. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and floated up like a ghost, then swooped down downwards like lightning.

Ji Lin slowed down noticeably in order to help Ye Guyi calm her spiritual sea, and was quickly caught up.

"Die, Ju-on!" A deep, hoarse yet sharp voice rang in Ji Lin's ears.

Immediately afterwards, a strange, illusory light and shadow appeared above Ji Lin's head. The light and shadow were white, and Ji Lin instantly felt a cold aura surge into his mind, trying to invade his spiritual sea, but it was firmly blocked by the head soul bone of Ji Lin's million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Ji Lin stopped running away and instead turned around to face the female evil spirit master.

The female evil spirit master only saw a flash of golden light in Ji Lin's eyes before the light and shadow formed by her third soul skill, Curse, shattered instantly.

"Hmm, this is interesting." The evil spirit master landed gracefully, but didn't continue his attack. His blood-red eyes gleamed eerily as he stared at...

Ji Lin.

"You're also a spirit-attribute soul master? That's rare. Your spiritual power has already surpassed your cultivation level, hasn't it?" This female evil soul master seemed to have become normal at this moment, completely losing her previous hysterical madness.

Ji Lin held Ye Guyi in his arms, using all his mental power to suppress Ye Guyi's mental sea. It was truly dangerous. If it had been an ordinary Soul Saint, or Nan Qiuqiu and Xiao Xiao, their brains would probably have been shattered by that terrifying scream and they would have died instantly.

Fortunately, Ye Guyi came with him this time. She is resistant to the evil soul master's methods, and her Holy Angel Martial Soul is powerful enough. Otherwise, even Ji Lin would not have been able to save her.

This is the strangeness and power of evil soul masters. No one knows what kind of strange methods these evil soul masters have. Of the eight people who came from the Free Sect this time, only Ji Lin, Chi Yuan, and Wang Qiu'er could ignore the fearful screams of this female evil soul master. Ji Lin and Chi Yuan have strong spiritual power, while Wang Qiu'er is protected by the power of destiny of the Star Dou Great Forest.

If it were Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, or Nan Qiuqiu, they would most likely be killed at first sight and suffer instant brain death. If the sea god's divine sense in Wang Dong'er's mind had not been sealed by Ji Lin, she could have ignored this terrifying scream. Perhaps, under the backlash of her divine sense, she could have even killed this female evil soul master.

As for Ye Guyi and Ling Luochen, one possesses the Holy Angel Martial Soul and the other the Ultimate Ice Element Martial Soul, neither of them are ordinary Soul Saints. However, neither of them excels in mental power. Although they can survive this terrifying scream, they will most likely temporarily lose their combat power and be at the mercy of others.

This is an evil soul master, a Soul Douluo-level evil soul master. With her bizarre mental attributes, even ordinary titled Douluo can easily fall victim to her and die at her hands.

Ji Lin was happy to chat with the other party to buy some time for Ye Guyi to recover. He was currently preoccupied with Ye Guyi, otherwise he would have already slashed at her with his sword.

Ji Lin continued, "That's right, you should also be a spirit-attribute soul master, but we're probably different. Your martial soul is probably some kind of vengeful spirit, right?"

"Hahaha, hahahaha..." The female evil spirit master suddenly burst into a shrill laugh, her laughter filled with hysteria and mockery.

Ji Lin's lips twitched. Was the mental state of an evil soul master really that abstract? He didn't say anything, did he?

"A vengeful spirit? Could my martial soul be a vengeful spirit? No, you're wrong, my martial soul is not a vengeful spirit."

"So that's what it is!" Ji Lin feigned surprise, following the evil spirit master's words. "Not a vengeful spirit? Then what is it?"

The female evil spirit master's blood-red eyes suddenly widened, and she said, "My martial spirit is called the Soul of Vengeance."

"A Soul of Vengeance?" Ji Lin was speechless. There really were people who introduced their martial soul to their enemies!

Although Ji Lin knew that evil spirit masters were all a bunch of lunatics, he genuinely thought they were all too outrageous.
