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

Qi Dao looked at the purple soul ring and sat cross-legged not far away with a smile.

"Senior Li Luo, I will need your continued protection from now on."

Li Luo laughed heartily, "You just focus on absorbing the spirit ring. I'll keep an eye on things here and won't let a single spirit beast disturb you!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Dao smiled slightly and immediately closed his eyes to begin guiding the soul ring.

According to Qi Dao's analysis, this dark golden bear should be between 6,700 and 7,200 years old. Qi Dao was not sure about any more detailed information.

This timeframe is definitely not the limit that Qi Dao can withstand.

But what can you do when its attributes are suitable?

As a direct descendant of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the Dark Gold Bear inherits almost all of its characteristics except for the Terrorclaw, and possesses super strength and defense.

Time passed slowly, and two hours went by in the blink of an eye.

As the purple soul ring on the Peerless Sword became increasingly condensed, Li Luo stood not far away and nodded secretly.

"What a freak! He absorbed a soul ring that was six or seven thousand years old at level 30 and can still do it with ease."

"Throughout history, he's probably the only one like him!"

"Luckily, he's one of us!"

Just as Li Luo was sighing inwardly, a roar suddenly came from the distant forest.

Roar--

The sound waves, almost tangible, shook the surrounding leaves, causing them to fall to the ground with a rustling sound.

In an instant, the entire mountain forest trembled!

Li Luo's expression changed instantly, and she couldn't help but look at Qi Dao, who was still absorbing the soul ring.

"Another soul beast over 50,000 years old?"

"Does it have to be this unlucky?"

Moreover, why does this roar sound so much like a bear's howl?

Just as Li Luo was getting anxious, the voice of the Serpent Spear Douluo rang in his ears again.

However, this time, Serpent Spear Douluo's voice carried a hint of seriousness.

"Li Luo, something's not right. There's another dark golden bear behind these two, which should be their father. It's over 70,000 years old. Even I have to be careful."

"Now it has returned from foraging and followed the scent of the two dark gold bears. It has found the 20,000-year-old dark gold bear from before and is heading in this direction at an extremely fast speed."

"I'll go and stop it. You're in charge here. Once it finishes absorbing its spirit ring, take it away from the Star Dou Great Forest immediately."

Upon hearing this, Li Luo's expression instantly turned serious.

"Please rest assured, Elder!"

"Leave this to your subordinates!"

Seeing this, Serpent Spear Douluo then fled into the distance.

If the 70,000-year-old dark gold bear were to follow the aura of this thousand-year-old dark gold bear and chase after it, even if he could defeat it, the distance would be too close, and the fluctuations generated by the battle would inevitably affect Qi Dao, who was absorbing the soul ring.

After the Serpent Spear Douluo left, Li Luo also possessed his Martial Soul, releasing his Soul Power aura to deter some low-level Soul Beasts from approaching.

Shortly after, a violent collision erupted from the depths of the forest, and a terrifying surge of soul power spread outwards.

Upon seeing this, Li Luo's eyes narrowed.

He knew that the Serpent Spear Douluo had already clashed with the Dark Gold Bear, which was over 70,000 years old.

Although this commotion was not as great as the battle between the Titan Ape and the Dark Demon God Tiger, it still caused chaos in the forest once again.

Li Luo looked at Qi Dao, her solemn face showing a hint of tension.

"Kid, you'd better hurry up!"

For some reason, as soon as Serpent Spear Douluo left, he felt a sense of unease, as if something bad was about to happen.

at the same time.

On the other side of the forest.

Two men dressed in black robes gazed into the distance, looking towards the source of the soul power fluctuations.

The two men were of different heights; the shorter one had a strange build, his hands were transformed into bat wings, his face was hideous and grotesque, his fangs were exposed, and there were traces of bright red blood on his mouth.

The tall man had a sallow complexion, a robust build, and eyes that seemed to emit an eerie red light. Behind him, a scorpion tail that looked like a long steel whip swung.

Not far from the two, the corpses of two soul beasts lay quietly.

One of the carcasses was shriveled up, as if it had been drained of blood and marrow.

On the other side was a bloody mess, with bite marks on the corpse.

Clearly, the corpses of these two soul beasts were the work of these two men in black robes.

One of these two relied on absorbing life energy to cultivate, while the other simply enjoyed eating raw flesh and blood to satisfy his appetite.

The short Soul Master frowned and cursed, "Damn it, what's going on in the Star Dou Great Forest today? Can't a person have some peace and quiet?"

"Outside, we were being hunted down by the Spirit Hall. We finally made it to the Star Dou Great Forest, thinking we could finally enjoy a peaceful meal, but we never expected to run into something like this again."

"Could it be that even God is against us?"

The tall Soul Master said in a deep voice, "It should just be an accident. The first tremor was caused by two Soul Beasts that were nearly 100,000 years old fighting each other, while the second tremor was obviously caused by a Titled Powerhouse fighting a Soul Beast."

"Let's not worry about that for now. I think we should leave this place of trouble first."

The short Soul Master nodded and said, "Okay!"

...

Shasha~

A faint, unusual sound suddenly came from the forest.

Li Luo's expression changed, and her gaze suddenly swept towards the direction from which the sound came.

"Who's there?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures emerged from the jungle several hundred meters away.

"Brother Lu, it seems we've been discovered!"

The two men, one tall and one short, were dressed in black robes.

The short ones have plain or even ugly faces, while the tall ones are robust and have a masculine air.

After the two came out, the tall man glanced in Qi Dao's direction. When he saw the huge corpse of the Dark Gold Bear, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he cupped his hands to Li Luo and smiled indifferently.

"Friend, don't be so nervous, we're just two people passing by!"

Li Luo's gaze swept over the two of them, but he didn't lower his guard. He simply said, "Since you're just passing by, please make yourselves at home!"

"Hehe, no problem, no problem!"

The tall man raised the corner of his mouth, but his gaze met that of the short man beside him.

next second!

The two instantly possessed their martial spirits.

The taller of the two was a seven-ring Soul Saint, while the shorter one was a six-ring Soul Emperor.

The moment their martial spirits were possessed, Li Luo cursed inwardly.

"Damn it, just what I feared most has happened!"

Fortunately, he was in a state of being possessed by his martial spirit, so he took the initiative to attack the moment the two opponents were possessed by their martial spirits.

Otherwise, if they stay by Qi Dao's side, they will inevitably be hindered at every turn because of Qi Dao.

In this way, only one Soul Saint will remain. As long as he can restrain him, he can wait for Qi Dao to condense his Soul Ring.

However, the three were hundreds of meters apart, and by the time Li Luo attacked, the two had already completed their possession.

Suddenly, the short Soul Emperor's third soul ring lit up, and his hands transformed into bat wings, allowing him to fly high into the sky and narrowly dodge Li Luo's attack.

boom!

Li Luo's tiger claws slammed into the air, flames billowed, and a loud bang echoed through the air.

Just as his attack missed, the tall man beside him gave a sinister smile, and his scorpion tail, as sharp as an iron whip, suddenly attacked him.

In an instant, the scorpion's tail tore through the air, producing a sharp, piercing sound.

Li Luo's pupils contracted, and he suddenly retreated dozens of steps.

The two sides are locked in a standoff.

The tall man let out a strange "heh heh" laugh, looking at Li Luo with a sinister gaze, and licked his lips.

"I never expected to encounter a wild Soul Saint here?"

"If I devour you, it might allow me to break through to the next level!"

In mid-air, the short man whose hands had transformed into bat wings looked in Qi Dao's direction.

"Brother, since you've chosen this old guy, then that tender-skinned kid over there is mine."

The tall man casually replied, "Whatever you say!"

Even if a junior absorbs all the energy, he won't gain much soul power.

Upon hearing this, the short man immediately licked his lips.

In his eyes, humans with delicate skin and tender flesh were simply delicious.

He's been eating soul beasts every day these days, and he's gotten so sick of it he wants to throw up.

Li Luo listened to their conversation, her face ashen.

A Soul Saint no weaker than him, and a Soul Emperor who can fly.

Qi Dao had not yet finished absorbing the soul ring.

No matter how you look at it, it's a dead end!
