Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 67 First Encounter with the Evil Soul Master

After saying that, he pulled Tang Ya aside and showed her his spirit rings.

He had told Tang Ya about his spirit rings once before, but she seemed to have forgotten.

Tang Ya stared at Deng Mu's spirit rings, her eyes widening in surprise.

She then suddenly remembered that Deng Mu had mentioned spirit rings to her before, but it had been so long that she hadn't remembered them for a while.

Tang Ya scratched her head and said, "Xiao Mu, I accidentally forgot, but I still can't help worrying. You have to be careful. If anything goes wrong, I... I can't take it."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened slightly again, her heartfelt concern written all over her face.

Deng Mu patted Tang Ya's head and said, "Sister Xiao Ya, I'll be careful."

After saying that, he kissed Tang Ya on the cheek and put away his spirit ring.

Tang Ya's face flushed bright red instantly after being kissed by Deng Mu's sudden kiss.

She stood there, her eyes filled with shyness and surprise, forgetting to speak for a moment, her heart pounding like a rabbit's.

After a while, Tang Ya finally came to her senses and scolded, "You...you brat, what time is it and you're still like this? Humph, hurry up and absorb the soul ring. You have to be safe and sound, or I'll really never forgive you."

As she spoke, she gently nudged Deng Mu, but her gaze remained fixed on him.

Although Deng Mu had already absorbed two ten-thousand-year soul rings, her worries had not lessened at all, since she did not know how Deng Mu had successfully absorbed them.

Deng Mu felt a warmth in his heart as he felt Tang Ya's worried and concerned gaze. He grinned at Tang Ya and said, "Don't worry, Sister Ya. The previous two times I absorbed ten-thousand-year soul rings, it went smoothly. This time will definitely be the same. Don't worry about it."

After saying that, Deng Mu didn't delay any longer. He turned around and quickly walked to the black spirit ring, sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and began to absorb the spirit ring.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan stood guard nervously to the side, not daring to breathe.

Tang Ya gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her eyes fixed on Deng Mu, silently praying that he would be safe and sound.

Although Jiang Nannan was relatively calm, she was also fully focused, ready to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise, so as to prevent anything from disturbing Deng Mu's absorption of the soul ring.

This time, the absorption of the spirit ring went incredibly smoothly, and it was successfully absorbed in no time.

Having already reached level 42, Deng Mu felt that absorbing ten thousand years' worth of energy would only allow him to level up by one level the next time.

The fourth soul skill is called Spirit Pattern Frenzy, which is an amplification skill. After use, all members will gain an amplification of strength and speed.

"Done."

Deng Mu let out a long sigh of relief, stood up, and Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan walked over.

Seeing that Deng Mu was alright, Tang Ya breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in her eyes eased considerably.

Tang Ya quickly stepped forward, grabbed Deng Mu's hand, and carefully examined him, repeatedly saying, "Thank goodness you're alright, I was so worried."

Jiang Nannan also came over and said with a smile, "Xiaoya, you're just like a little wife now, worrying about what might happen to your husband."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ya's face flushed red again. She released Deng Mu's hand and pretended to be angry as she hit Jiang Nannan, scolding, "Nannan, what are you saying? You're just teasing me. I'll teach you a lesson!"

Jiang Nannan laughed and dodged away, saying as she did so, "Oh dear, I was just seeing how nervous you were just now. You really care about Xiao Mu, and I was just telling the truth."

Watching the two bickering, Deng Mu shook his head and walked towards the coachman, taking out a few gold coins and giving them to him.

The coachman took the gold coins and assured Deng Mu, "Young master, rest assured, I will not say a word about what happened today."

He naturally understood what Deng Mu meant and certainly wouldn't go around spreading rumors.

"Sister Xiaoya, let's stay here tonight and set off again tomorrow."

"it is good."

"Okay, I understand."

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan stopped fighting and responded to Deng Mu after hearing his words.

……

Over the next few days, the carriage sped towards the northern city. The journey was relatively smooth, and any minor setbacks were easily resolved.

On a dimly lit night, the carriage was traveling along a path beside a slightly eerie grove of trees.

Suddenly, the driver pulled hard on the reins, and the horse, startled, neighed loudly.

Deng Mu, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan were all startled in the car. Deng Mu immediately became alert and whispered, "Something might be wrong. Everyone be careful."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

After saying that, the three of them quickly jumped out of the carriage.

By the dim moonlight, they saw a figure slowly emerging from the shadows not far ahead.

The man was dressed in a black robe and exuded a sinister and eerie aura; he was undoubtedly an evil spirit master.

The evil spirit master wore a sinister smile and said in a hoarse voice, "Hehe, I really didn't expect to run into a few little spirit masters like you in this desolate wilderness. Looks like tonight won't be too boring."

After speaking, he showed his spirit rings to Deng Mu and the others.

Seeing the evil spirit master's spirit ring configuration of yellow, purple, and black, Tang Ya's heart sank, knowing that she had encountered a formidable opponent.

Tang Ya subconsciously moved closer to Deng Mu, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Xiao Mu, the opponent is a Soul King. If you can't beat him later, run away quickly. Nan Nan and I will hold him off for you."

Jiang Nannan nodded, indicating that she would protect Deng Mu.

Deng Mu frowned, but replied firmly, "Sister Xiaoya, what nonsense are you talking about? We fight side by side, how could I abandon you and run away alone?"

With his strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to directly eliminate this evil soul master, but considering that the God of Destruction might be watching in the dark, he could only kill him slowly.

The evil spirit master laughed strangely again as he listened to their words: "You ignorant fools, still thinking of resisting? Then I will send you to your deaths today."

The thought that he could obtain the divine inheritance by killing these three people filled him with immense excitement.

Just two days ago, he had slaughtered a village when a voice rang in his ears, telling him that if he killed three people, he could obtain the inheritance of a god.

He accepted the mission without a second thought. In his eyes, the lives of these ordinary soul masters were as worthless as grass. As long as he could obtain the divine inheritance he so desperately desired, he would not hesitate to kill as many people as possible.

He was very disdainful of Deng Mu and the other two's words. They were just a few kids; how strong could they be? He was a Soul King.

The evil spirit master waved his hands, his black robes fluttering wildly, and the eerie and sinister aura around him grew stronger, as if the black mist had materialized, swirling outwards in wisps.

"Hmph, let you little brats see the power of the Soul King!" he roared in a hoarse voice, and then launched the first attack.
