Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

In a small village, the stench of blood permeated the air.

The village was littered with corpses, all of them in a bizarre, dried-out state, as if their blood had been drained.

In a spacious room, three figures leaned back in their chairs, their bodies imposing. The table in front of them was covered with leftover food, and three corpses lay on the floor beside them.

The corpse of a young man whose limbs had been severed at the root, the corpse of a boy whose neck had been twisted, and the last corpse of a naked woman.

Unlike the fear emanating from the three corpses, the three people leaning back in their chairs appeared cheerful, completely oblivious to the blood-soaked environment.

Just as they were enjoying themselves, they suddenly heard footsteps in the distance.

The three of them immediately woke up, their expressions instantly becoming wary.

One of the gaunt men started cursing.

"It must be those bastards from the Spirit Hall chasing after us!"

"Damn it, all they did was suck the blood of a few lowly people, is it really necessary to be so relentless in their pursuit?"

The other man looked at the burly man in the middle, with a hideous scar across his left eye, and said in a deep voice, "Boss, what should we do now?"

The burly man's face was grim, and a cruel glint appeared in his eyes.

"We've already been targeted by the Spirit Hall. Even if we escape this time, we'll definitely face another round of pursuit."

"Instead of being endlessly hunted down like this, we might as well just kill the butlers who are chasing us and escape to a place where no one can catch us."

The gaunt man hesitated, "But the world is so big, where can we escape to?"

"Are we going to flee overseas?"

The burly man shook his head, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"No need. I've heard that there's a Fallen Paradise in the far west, a haven for fallen people like us. Once we're inside, even the Spirit Hall can't get in to capture us."

(I searched for "Killing Capital" and it says it's in the far west, but some say it's in the far north. Does anyone know the exact location?)

The gaunt man and the other man's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.

"Boss, is this information accurate?"

The burly man said confidently, "It's highly likely to be true."

"Alright, let's go there!"

"But before that, we need to kill those Spirit Hall bastards who are chasing us first."

"He's been chasing us all this way; I've put up with him for a long time!"

"good!"

...

A carriage was slowly moving along the official road.

While driving the carriage, Qi's father chatted with Qi's mother and Qi Dao inside.

Suddenly, Qi's father twitched his nose slightly, then frowned.

"The smell of blood is so strong!"

Qi's father muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming wary.

"Ah Rou, Ah Dao, something's happened, be careful!"

After saying that, Qi's father accelerated the carriage a bit.

Inside the carriage.

Qi's mother and Qi Dao's eyes narrowed slightly, and their expressions became more serious.

At the same time, three figures suddenly stopped in front of them.

The burly man in the middle grinned.

"I didn't expect to run into a few little ants!"

The gaunt man next to him licked his lips and said, "I haven't had enough of that Spirit Hall Soul Master's blood yet, so I'll have a dessert after dinner."

"I hope the person who comes isn't an ordinary person. I'll be very disappointed if I can't drink the blood of a Soul Master."

The other person also let out a strange, grating laugh.

"Let's go, let's take the initiative."

A ferocious smile appeared on the burly man's face as he turned and walked towards the center of the official road.

Two people followed closely behind.

"Whoa~"

Qi's father saw three figures suddenly dart out from both sides of the road, and hurriedly reined in the horses, his hair standing on end.

The stench of blood emanating from the three people before them was incredibly strong.

Inside the carriage, Qi's mother's expression changed slightly, and she instantly released her Ruby Martial Soul.

Qi Dao's waist trembled slightly until he placed his hand on the hilt of the sword, at which point it stopped.

Outside the carriage, Qi's father held the reins with one hand, while releasing his martial spirit with the other, his eyes filled with vigilance.

However, he did not make any rash moves, but simply stared at the three people opposite him.

"What do you three mean by this?"

"If you are short of money, I can provide you with some financial assistance."

Qi's father himself had a Soul Hunting Group; what kind of people hadn't he seen?

But the pressure from these three people was far greater than that from any of the so-called "desperate criminals" he had encountered over the years.

Therefore, he was very decisive and wanted to spend money to avoid disaster.

However, after hearing Qi's father's words, the three people opposite him just smiled mockingly.

"Second brother, third brother, this guy wants to give us money. Do you think we should accept it?" The burly man grinned and asked deliberately.

The gaunt man said sinisterly, "But if we kill him, won't his money still be ours?"

The tall third brother licked his lips and said, "He's a Soul Master, isn't he? I can already smell the fragrance in a Soul Master's blood."

"Boss, let's get started! I'm starving!"

After he finished speaking, his appearance instantly became ferocious, and many black hairs appeared all over his body.

Four spirit rings slowly rose from beneath his feet.

One white, two yellow, and one purple!

Four-Ring Soul Sect!

Qi's father's pupils dilated suddenly, a flash of fear crossing his eyes, and he immediately shouted.

"Arou, Adao, run!"

Upon hearing this, Qi's mother and Qi Dao immediately rushed out of the carriage.

The three people opposite them saw Qi Dao and his mother and their eyes lit up.

"Haha, I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise."

"Three Soul Masters, hehe~"

"Boss, one for each of us is just right."

"That woman is mine!"

"Third brother, she's my prey!"

"You two idiots, stop arguing!"

On the other side, Qi's mother and Qi Dao did not listen to Qi's father and flee for their lives.

"What are you doing? I'll stop them."

"Dad, it's no use. Even if Mom and I abandon you and run away, they will catch up with us immediately."

Qi Dao looked at the four spirit rings on the tall man's body, his expression so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

It's easy to tell from the conversation between these three that they were undoubtedly fallen soul masters from the Douluo Continent era.

Because of the Spirit Hall, Fallen Soul Masters in Douyi were far less prevalent than Evil Soul Masters in Douyi.

Qi Dao never expected that he would encounter such a crisis as soon as he left the beginner village.

There are at least three Soul Masters on the other side!

Mr. Qi remained silent, while a look of despair flashed across Mrs. Qi's face.

Could it be today...?

Are they all going to die here?

They hadn't yet waited for Qi Dao to grow up, nor had they seen him become a powerful Soul Master renowned throughout the land.

"Oh dear, what's going on?"

"Are you already terrified before the fight even starts?"

"That would take away a lot of our fun."

The gaunt man grinned, his martial spirit also manifesting, his face instantly becoming ferocious and evil, and several spider legs sprouted from his back.

Clearly, his martial spirit is some kind of spider.

His spirit ring configuration was the same as the tall man's.

Finally, there was their leader, that burly, rugged man.

He also released his martial spirit, a blood-red machete.

And his spirit rings...

Two yellows and two purples!

"Damn it!"

Looking at the three people opposite him, Qi's father growled, and the veins on his arm gripping the iron sword bulged.

Mother Qi trembled slightly, but still looked at Qi Dao and asked gently, "A-Dao, are you afraid of dying?"

Qi Dao took a deep breath and immediately visualized the Peerless Sword in his mind. The warmth coming from his spirit instantly restored his composure.

He slowly drew his sword, made a casual slash, then looked at Qi's mother calmly and said, "Mom, of course I'm afraid of dying!"

"but..."

At this point, his eyes seemed to flash with a chilling light, and his tone changed accordingly.

He suddenly looked at the three people opposite him, his eyes filled with determination!

"Whoever wants my life, I'll tear a piece of flesh from their body!"
