Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 184 The Grim Reaper Rises, He's Gone!

Let's rewind three minutes.

For Ma Xiaotao and the other inner court prodigies, the Death Hand bandit gang was indeed no match for them. If the Death Messenger's Corpse Explosion Technique was ignored, even the reserve team led by Bei Bei could easily sweep them away.

So, after they found the cave where the Death Hand bandits were hiding, the Shrek geniuses swept through the bandits, killing one after another, their mop-covered excrement making them look like Lu Bu reincarnated.

But to their surprise, the messenger of death had a much heavier mop than they did, smearing a huge blob of it all over their faces.

"Hehehehe, how dare you offend the great messenger of death! Today, you will all stay here!" Deep within the cave, the messenger of death, shrouded in a black robe, let out a shrill, eerie laugh, his words filled with madness and hysteria.

Genius! He hates geniuses the most!

"You have killed so many of my men; you will pay with your lives!"

"Corpse Explosion Technique!!!"

The withered arm that the Grim Reaper extended from his sleeve suddenly clenched. The numerous corpses, whose flesh and blood had long been corroded by poison, rapidly turned red from their pale skin and began to swell at an alarming rate.

Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted, his eyes instantly filled with fear.

In his mental detection, the energy fluctuations of those corpses were constantly increasing, like fixed-position soul-guided shells about to detonate.

"Watch out!!!" Huo Yuhao only had time to shout out one sentence to warn everyone.

next moment……

Boom!!!

Countless corpses exploded instantly, blood and flesh flying everywhere. The terrifying explosions compounded in the narrow cave, and the power of the violent explosions in the confined space even reached the terrifying level of a full-force attack from a Soul Saint.

The seven reserve players were alright; with the main team charging ahead, they didn't need to chase too far ahead, they just needed to follow behind and finish off the enemy.

But the six members of the main team had already rushed into the depths of the cave and were wreaking havoc. They were in the very spot where the corpses were piled up the most!

Although Ma Xiaotao and the others were experienced in combat, they managed to gather their soul power to form a defense around themselves the instant the corpse explosion occurred. However, the defense they formed in such a hasty manner was barely worth mentioning.

Although Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, whose cultivation had reached the Soul Emperor level, were the ones who endured the strongest explosion, due to their strong bodies as power-attack type Soul Masters, they were only blasted away after their shields shattered. They were seriously injured, but their lives were not in danger, and they did not suffer any permanent disabilities.

Following closely behind was Chen Zifeng. His cultivation level was not as high as the previous two, and as a weapon spirit master, his physical strength was far inferior to that of a beast spirit master. He was also blasted away and fell into a coma on the spot, and his left leg was also blown off.

Although only his lower leg was blown off, judging from the speed at which the corpse poison spread, by the time he returns to Shrek Academy, his thigh will probably be cut off as well.

Otherwise, my life would be in danger.

Gongyang Mo lay dead in the rubble, his back a bloody mess, still emitting green mist of flesh corroded by the corpse poison.

Xi Xi... has become Xi, and judging from the situation, it's most likely gone.

Ling Luochen suffered the least injuries. After coughing up a mouthful of blood, she shakily stood up, leaning against the mountain wall. Her beautiful eyes were slightly dazed as she looked at the tragic scene before her, her expression filled with lingering fear and confusion.

It was a seemingly unstoppable, winning game, and they were about to destroy the enemy's crystal when the Reaper suddenly unleashed a Corpse Explosion combo and became a godlike player.

The next second, a dazzling golden light shot in from outside the cave, illuminating the dim cave completely. Even the smoke and dust from the corpse explosion were completely silenced under this light, and the air became fresh again.

This ray of light was naturally Ye Qing.

The instant he heard the explosion, Ye Qing activated his martial spirit and appeared in the cave in the blink of an eye. Xuanzi had indeed banned him, preventing him from entering the cave with the main group.

But this did not prevent him from coming to the rescue after the zombie outbreak.

The more eager he appeared and the more effort he put into saving people, the more it highlighted Xuanzi's incompetence and incompetence.

Looking at the scene before him, Ye Qing was speechless. Although the outcome was basically predetermined given that he, Zhang Lexuan, and Han Ruoruo had all been banned, he was still speechless when he saw them being played like this by a mere Death Messenger.

Especially Xixi, how did you become west/Xi?

That's terrible.

Eight wings of light instantly popped out behind Ye Qing, increasing the already bright light by several degrees. Feathers made of light fell off as the wings flapped and landed on the six members of the main team who had been severely injured.

Ling Luochen, who was the least injured, was the first to regain a rosy complexion. His internal injuries were healing rapidly, and the pain in his internal organs that had been throbbing was no longer coming.

Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng also slowly got up from the ground under Ye Qing's treatment, but unlike Ling Luochen, they were not almost fully recovered. Their faces were still pale and their breathing was extremely unstable.

Chen Zifeng's still-bleeding severed leg stopped bleeding under the light, but Ye Qing did not have the ability to regenerate severed limbs unless he used the Gold of Life.

However, his relationship with Chen Zifeng was clearly not close enough for him to use the Gold of Life to heal him. If he did that, he would inevitably be accused of being a saint.

Gongyang Mo's almost motionless chest began to rise and fall again. Although the rise and fall was small, it ultimately saved the little boy's life. Ye Qing's healing ability did not have an antidote effect. He could only extract a trace of extremely sacred soul power to purify the corpse poison that had almost penetrated Gongyang Mo's heart and lungs, just like when he treated Ma Xiaotao.

As for Xixi...

A hint of regret appeared in Ye Qing's eyes.

This girl is really too pitiful. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was cut in half at the waist. Ye Qing is powerless to help her in this situation, even if he uses the Gold of Life.

Without giving Xixi a piece of the Life Gold for her to fuse with, even if Ye Qing extracted the life force from the Life Gold, it would only be like a rootless duckweed, barely keeping her alive, unable to give her a new life.

At that moment, Xuanzi's furious roar came from outside the cave.

"Damn it!!!" A yellowish-brown light suddenly burst into the cave.

Unlike Ye Qing, who was prepared in advance and immediately used his holy light to travel to the cave to put out the fire the moment the explosion occurred.

Even though Ye Qing had rushed out and was already treating them in the cave for three seconds, Xuanzi was still in a daze, even unconsciously chewing on the roasted meat in his mouth. It wasn't until Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo took to the air and flew towards the cave that he finally came to his senses.

Xuanzi couldn't believe it, nor did he want to believe it.

What a coincidence!

The last time he hunted a soul was when he was drinking, and a 100,000-year-old soul beast attacked him. This time, he was also indulging in a feast when his team encountered a major accident.

Seeing the horrific scene in the cave, and looking at Xixi, whose life force had completely dissipated in front of Ye Qing, Xuanzi's brain, fermented by alcohol, exploded with a buzz, and then ignited due to the high alcohol content.

"Damn it!" Xuanzi roared hoarsely, reaching out to grab the messenger of death.

The Death Messenger, who had been momentarily stunned by Ye Qing's aura of extreme light, regained his senses after seeing Xuan Zi attack him.

He looked at the nine spirit rings on Xuanzi's body and spoke in a sinister tone: "Title Douluo? Hmph, so what if he's a Title Douluo? Give me a few more years, and even a Title Douluo will die on the spot under my command!"

He reached out again, intending to detonate the corpse poison entering Gongyang Mo's body to buy himself time to escape. However, Ye Qing simply waved his hand, and the ultimate attribute soul power isolated his senses, so Gongyang Mo was unharmed.

Instead, Xixi's corpse began to swell. Ye Qing lowered his head and cast a Holy Light Blessing on her corpse, which directly interrupted the corpse explosion process.

Death Messenger: "..."

Even without the threat of the students' lives to distract Xuanzi, he still failed to catch the Grim Reaper. Blinded by anger, he thought he could easily control the Grim Reaper, but when he slapped him, he only caught a wisp of gray smoke.

The real Grim Reaper had already grabbed a lucky child and dragged him into the tunnel he had prepared.

The next second, the tunnel exploded, completely obscuring the escape route of the Grim Reaper. The noise from the second explosion caused boulders to fall from the cave ceiling. Xuanzi had no choice but to use his soul power to stabilize the cave and get everyone out first.

And the lucky one who was captured by the Grim Reaper was actually the fairy Wang Dong!

Wang Dong, still traumatized by yesterday's rainbow-vomiting incident, was then confronted with such a gruesome and bloody scene today. Feeling physically unwell, he kept his distance.

Although he wasn't affected by the impact of the corpse explosion, he was extremely lucky to be standing next to the Grim Reaper's escape passage, where the fleeing Grim Reaper caught him in the act.

Smelling the pungent smell of sauerkraut from the prison jar emanating from the Grim Reaper, a smell emanating from the stomping of the national football team, coupled with the bumpy ride in the tunnel and the fact that he was being carried on the Grim Reaper's shoulder, Wang Dong's face turned green on the spot, and he vomited all over the Grim Reaper.

Leaving aside the unfortunate children who have successfully escaped the cave, Wang Dong, the most unlucky one, is truly a bit of a handful.

Not only that, his act of vomiting all over the Grim Reaper completely enraged the Grim Reaper, the strongest Soul King. After leaving the secret passage, the Grim Reaper threw him to the ground, and Wang Dong, who was rolling on the ground, was so disgusted that he almost vomited bile.

He raised his head, his eyes red with rage, and a faint golden trident mark appeared between his brows.

But the Grim Reaper didn't notice Wang Dong's condition. With a disgruntled expression, he tore off the black robe that Wang Dong had spat on, revealing his withered and terrifying face.

"Damn little thing, how dare you spit on me! I'll make you wish you were dead!" the Death Messenger said in a cold tone, but when he saw Wang Dong's face, he changed his mind.

Wang Dong, disguised as a man, has an undeniably handsome face. While she can't compare to Ye Qing, she is still quite outstanding. In contrast, the Grim Reaper's face is incredibly ugly, and his years of research into things like corpse poison have left his body riddled with holes.

Upon suddenly seeing Wang Dong's vibrant physique and top-tier looks, the Grim Reaper had some thoughts.

He touched his withered face, a strange smile creeping across his lips. "Heh heh heh, kid, your appearance is indeed quite good, and you're a student at Shrek Academy, so your talent must be exceptional. Very good, your body is impressive, but from now on it belongs to me!"

"I will use your body to live again, and then turn all of you Shrek into my corpse slaves, hehehehe!"

The act of possession does indeed exist in Douluo Continent. After the Evil Eye Tyrant was killed by Huo Yuhao, he hid his soul in a soul ring and soul bone, attempting to possess Huo Yuhao when he condensed his third soul core.

The Grim Reaper certainly didn't possess any sophisticated possession techniques; he would simply and brutally destroy Wang Dong's soul and then force his own soul into Wang Dong's body.

The twelve corpse slaves that kept appearing behind him at this moment had already proven his ability; he could indeed forcibly change his body, but the side effects were a bit too great.

Doing this would affect Wang Dong's lifespan and talent, but it would still be countless times better than his current body.

"Trying to possess me?" Wang Dong wiped the grime from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with mockery as he looked at the Grim Reaper.

But the Grim Reaper was unaware of the meaning behind Wang Dong's gaze. He thought Wang Dong was still talking back even when he was being shoved, so he waved his hand with a grim expression. Several of the twelve corpse slaves immediately stepped forward and pinned Wang Dong down.

"Little thing, let's see what you're going to do now!" The Grim Reaper raised his hand with a ferocious expression, his palm filled with a strange grayish-purple mist, and then slapped Wang Dong on the forehead.

Wang Dong's eyes remained full of mockery, showing no panic or fear in the face of the Grim Reaper's attack.

"Something seems off!" The Grim Reaper finally realized something was wrong. The reaction of a dying person is not like Wang Dong's at this moment!

But the hand that slapped out was already close to Wang Dong's forehead, only a tiny centimeter away.

Just then, the trident mark that had flashed past Wang Dong reappeared and instantly released a strong blue-gold light.

"Ah!!!" The Grim Reaper screamed as he was blasted several meters away by the sudden burst of golden light. He then rolled on the ground, his left hand gripping the right hand that was about to strike Wang Dong, his face contorted in pain.

His withered right hand was already enveloped in blue-gold light, which continued to spread until it covered his entire body.

In just three seconds, the strongest Soul King who had caused heavy casualties to the Shrek team had turned into black ash all over the ground. A gust of wind blew by and even the ash was blown away!

After the Grim Reaper died, the twelve corpse slaves also lost their light and fell straight to the ground.

Wang Dong stood up shakily, glancing indifferently at the ashes scattered around the Grim Reaper.

"Ha, they're courting death."
