Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 227 No. 9 Shura Town

The morning practice ended quickly.

As the two of them calmly emerged from the same room, Guang Ling also happened to walk out of the opposite door. Seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu coming out of the same room, she gave them a slightly strange look.

But Xiao Wu casually brushed it off, taking Guang Ling downstairs for breakfast without showing any shyness.

No one could find anything wrong with it.

However, Lan Yinzi noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Wu. As someone who had been through it all in his "previous life," he could tell that Xiao Wu was no longer a girl, but had transformed into a real woman.

Therefore, Lan Yinzi smiled like an aunt, but also with a hint of jealousy:

My dear son is finally going to marry my wonderful daughter-in-law!

pity!

I'm leaving my mom too!

It's really hard to part with them!

Over the next two days, Xiao Wu and Tang San had a new research topic: studying the vibration frequency of Qi and blood. Both of them were very interested in this.

However, such frequent research activities could not be kept secret from Guangling for long.

On the third day, Guang Ling quietly entered Tang San's room and saw something that shocked her. She wanted to run out, but her legs felt like lead. She stared blankly at Tang San and Xiao Wu's research on qi and blood cultivation.

Finally, Guangling, still angry that the two of them didn't include her in their research on the new topic, grumbled at Tang San for a while before eagerly joining the research on Qi and Blood cultivation, thus putting the theory of Qi and Blood resonance into practice in a truly meaningful way.

As researchers, we must be rigorous!

Electrolux remained withdrawn throughout this period...

···

Five days later.

Having finished their research on Qi and Blood Vibration Cultivation, the three, along with Lan Yinzi, were preparing to leave Phoenix City when they were stopped by Thanos, the Hall Master of the local Spirit Hall.

"Your Holiness, may I ask you for a favor?" In the council hall of the Spirit Hall, Thanos looked somewhat uneasy, with his wife, Feng Xi, the city lord of Phoenix City, sitting beside him.

Tang San asked, "What is it?"

"Three hundred miles north of Phoenix City, there is a remote town called Shura Town, where a passage leads to the City of Slaughter."

Thanos gave a message.

"There are actually more than a dozen such Shura Towns, located in the outer areas of the Slaughter City. They are inhabited by fallen Soul Masters who yearn to enter the Slaughter City. However, since these Soul Masters do not engage in wanton killing outside, the Spirit Hall has not sent anyone to capture them."

"But recently, something happened in Shura Town. The fallen soul masters inside started running away, and some people even said that the City of Slaughter had been destroyed..."

"The Spirit Halls in the other cities near Shura Town have also received similar intelligence and have reported it to higher authorities, hoping that they will take it seriously."

"His Holiness the Pope has also issued an order to send two Title Douluos to investigate the situation in the Slaughter City."

"And we branch temples near Shura Town also need to send people to capture those fallen ones who have escaped, to prevent them from storming villages and attacking civilians."

"Originally, I shouldn't have troubled the Holy Son, but a force that has gathered a large number of fallen people has appeared in Shura Town. They also call themselves evil soul masters and have formed the Holy Spirit Cult, recruiting believers on a large scale."

"The city lord and I sent people together to besiege them half a month ago, but the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult was extremely powerful, and we fought to a draw... To be honest, we plan to continue to form a search team to besiege them after the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix Festival, but whether we can take them down is still unknown."

Tang San hadn't expected the Holy Spirit Cult to appear in this era, and that such a change had occurred in the City of Slaughter... But he knew he had to deal with whatever came his way, so he asked, "Hasn't the matter of the Holy Spirit Cult been reported to the higher-ups?"

"I have reported it, but the main force at the top is currently investigating the situation in the City of Slaughter and has no time to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult, since that cult only stays in our Shura Town." Thanos smiled bitterly. "That's why I begged the Holy Son to help me out, to get rid of that Holy Spirit Cult and the Evil Soul Master."

"As long as there are people who crave power and become obsessed with it, evil spirit masters will never be completely eradicated." Tang San believed that one person could not change this; it would require the entire continent to work together to promote the development of the times and popularize basic education in order to gradually change the situation. "However, I will handle the matter in Shura Town."

"By the way, are there more than a dozen Shura Towns? Are they all called Shura Towns? Won't we get confused?"

Upon hearing Tang San's agreement, the wrinkles on Thanos's forehead disappeared, and he laughed, "No, because they are numbered. There are sixteen Shura Towns in total. The Shura Town three hundred miles outside our city is the ninth Shura Town."

Thus, a day later, Thanos and Fengxi gathered three hundred soul masters and more than a thousand knights, forming a legion to attack the Holy Spirit Cult, and headed towards the ninth town of Shura.

Half a day later, the legion had arrived at Shura Town No. 9.

The town wasn't large, but just in case, Fengxi still dispatched five hundred knights to block the main exits from the town to the outside world, leaving three hundred knights to set up camp in place, while the remaining two hundred knights and three hundred soul masters were led by Fengxi to explore the town together.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, Lan Yinzi, and others followed the five hundred-strong scout team.

At this moment, all four of them removed their masks and veils, and the others recognized them. They were all excited and thrilled—they were actually able to travel with the champions of the Mainland Elite Tournament! They were incredibly lucky!

Upon entering Shura Town No. 9, Tang San released his spiritual power to investigate everything around him, discovering that the entire town was filled with corpses, and all of them were dried corpses.

However, inside a church-like building in the center, there was an extremely strong smell of blood.

"These evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult are like the degenerate version of the fallen; they have no humanity left." Fengxi looked at the dried corpse dragged out of the house by the spirit masters, examining its clothes, and said angrily, "These are ordinary civilians living in villages near Phoenix City. Recently, village chiefs have been reporting to us that elderly people, children, and women have gone missing in their villages. I never imagined that they would be captured by these evil spirit masters to suck blood."

Gazing at the mummified corpse of a seven or eight-year-old child, Tang San's eyes turned icy: "Evil Soul Masters, inhuman indeed!"

Filled with righteous indignation, the crowd searched all the way and carried the mummified corpse out of the house, piling it up by the roadside, preparing to take it back for disposal and burial later—if the corpse was not disposed of, it would breed a plague.

When the crowd arrived in front of the church, the people inside had already come out and were ready for action.

These people were all wearing cloaks that were black on the outside and red on the inside, with hoods on their heads so that their faces could not be seen. They were half men and half women, and they were all dressed very revealingly, especially the women, who were so dressed that it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were "bare-chested".

"Heh, here we go again. We're not against your Spirit Hall, so why are you bothering us?" A young and hoarse voice rang out. The people wearing cloaks made way, and a person wearing a red cloak with a black inner cloak and a white hood walked out. Judging from his appearance, he should be very young.

"Hmph! You arbitrarily capture nearby villagers and harm their lives; this is an outrage against heaven!" Feng Xi sneered, raising her right arm, and the two hundred knights drew their bows and nocked arrows.

Among the three hundred Soul Masters, energy-type defensive Soul Masters stood in front, ranged offensive Soul Masters followed behind, and melee control Soul Masters were scattered on both sides, always on guard against enemy sneak attacks.

The remaining reconnaissance-type agility-based Soul Masters scattered to explore the entire town, checking if any other evil Soul Masters were hiding in the shadows, or if there were any hidden escape routes to the outside world.

"The law of the jungle is the way of nature. Who says that people can't be eaten?" The young man chuckled coldly, his eyes, hidden under his hood, scanning the more than 500 people opposite him, pondering how much soul power these "meat" could increase for him. He then noticed Tang San and the others, and his smile came to an abrupt end.

"I'm giving you one last chance: surrender and you can avoid death!" Seeing that the other party was stubborn, Feng Xi's face was cold as she issued a final warning, her raised arm about to strike.

"Go, kill them!" The boy snapped out of his daze, quietly retreated, and ordered the others to move forward.

At that moment, countless Blue Silver Emperors emerged from the ground and bound all of these evil soul masters.

"put!"

At Fengxi's command, the knights released their bowstrings, and arrows rained down, piercing the live targets bound by the Blue Silver Emperor.

Ranged damage dealers also aimed at their targets and unleashed their soul skills.

If they can still miss their target too much when the enemy is immobilized, they might as well go home and go to bed.

"roar!"

A violent roar came from the endless grassland. A blood-red four-headed earth dragon broke free from the Blue Silver Emperor, spewing blood-red flames. It disregarded the lives of its own people and even bit a demonic soul master wearing a black cloak with a red inner cloak, sucking his blood.

Its enormous body was over twenty meters tall, with black lines flowing across its blood-red skin. Although it spewed flames, it gave off an exceptionally cold and sinister aura.

Guangling held the Sun Chasing Bow, drawing it to its fullest extent. He activated his second soul skill, Golden Sun Aura, condensing his soul power into a light element arrow.
