Douluo Tang San, stop rolling

Although he did not have much confidence in whether he could get rid of the Xing Luo Empire, he firmly believed in Xu Dongyang's words.

After all, the other party's talent and strength have proven many times that he does have the potential to reach the pinnacle of soul masters. By then, the Star Luo Empire will be nothing in his eyes.

But when it comes to escaping to the Star Dou Great Forest, she has some doubts.

After all, the Star Dou Great Forest is where soul beasts live. Although it can be used to escape the pursuit of the Star Luo Empire, it will also face the threat of countless soul beasts.

She couldn't help but wonder, "Why are we running towards the Star Forest?"

Xu Dongyang looked at the other person's face in surprise, and then he suddenly realized.

'She doesn't seem to know Xiao Wu's situation yet.'

He looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a serious expression and said in a serious tone:

"Zhu Qing, what I'm going to say next may break your cognition, but you just need to believe it. I don't have that much time to explain it to you now."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded with a solemn expression.

“Xiao Wu is actually a hundred thousand year old soul beast in human form. The core area of ​​the Xingdou Great Forest is her home. She has two younger brothers who are hundred thousand year old soul beasts that have not yet transformed. They are the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

Our purpose this time is to go to the core area of ​​the Xingdou Great Forest, hide there for a while, and wait until the Xingluo Empire's pursuit slows down before leaving."

The more Zhu Zhuqing listened, the more shocked she became. Her beautiful eyes gradually widened, her lips slightly parted, and one hand covered her mouth, still trembling slightly.

"But why did she come to the human world? And why?"

Many questions popped up in her mind, but she stopped halfway through asking and then suppressed her curiosity.

On the other side, in a border city in the Xing Luo Empire that borders the Star Dou Great Forest.

An old man with gray hair and beard asked a guard below:

"you sure?"

"Yes, we have found the murderer. He has been fleeing towards the north and seems to want to enter the Star Dou Great Forest. He is now almost reaching the border." The guard below replied affirmatively.

"It's none of your business. Go down and claim your reward."

As the guards left, the old man's expression became fierce, his eyes seemed to be filled with endless anger, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Little beast, I finally found you. I will make you wish you were dead, but you can't live."

The old man was Mu Kuang, the grandfather of Mu Cang who died at the hands of Xu Dongyang.

A few days later, Xu Dongyang and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the border of the Xingluo Empire, less than half a day's journey away from the Xingdou Great Forest.

Looking at the green forest not far away, Xu Dongyang's eyes showed joy.

"Almost! We will soon enter the Star Forest."

Even Zhu Zhuqing behind him had bright eyes and looked radiant, as if she had finally let go of the worry in her heart.

These days, the two of them had to be on guard against the pursuit team that might come at any time. They were worried all day long and were physically and mentally exhausted. They haven't had a good rest for a long time.

Now that they saw hope right before their eyes, they both felt relieved, extremely excited and ecstatic.

Uh-huh~

A cold light suddenly appeared and headed straight for Xu Dongyang's head, as if it was going to pierce his head like a string of candied haws.

This is a fatal blow! It is swift and full of murderous intent!

Xu Dongyang's hair suddenly stood up, his spiritual sense was alerted, the space around him seemed to solidify, and time slowed down.

This earth-shattering blow seemed to be slowed down several times in his eyes.

He leaned to the side and rolled over to avoid the fatal blow. He looked at the direction of the attack with lingering fear and a serious expression.

However, he failed to dodge completely, and the corner of his clothes on his shoulder was cut, leaving a bloody mark with blood flowing.

The person who came was an old man with gray hair. His short hair was as thin as steel needles, giving him a spirited and capable look.

He was wearing black armor, holding a black spear, with seven soul rings rotating on his body, two yellow, two purple and three black. He was a Soul Saint over seventy levels old!

"I found you, you little bastard!"

The old man's eyes were bloodshot and he stared at Xu Dongyang with his tiger eyes, like a bloodthirsty beast.

"Who are you, Senior? I don't think I've seen you before. Why did you attack me?"

At first glance, Xu Dongyang felt that the other party did not seem to be a hunting team sent by Xingluo. There was anger and resentment in their eyes, as if they were here to seek revenge.

The old man's eyes were icy cold, and he asked, "In Yunguang City, did you kill the city lord there?"

Xu Dongyang was stunned for a while. He had killed so many people in these days that he could hardly remember them all.

But he soon reacted.

"You mean Mu Cang?"

He still had a deep impression of Mu Cang. He was very young and indeed very strong. Looking at the people who died at his hands, his strength was enough to rank among the top.

“It seems you remember that Mu Cang is my grandson! He should have done great things in his prime years and has extraordinary potential.

At the same time, he is the talented child of our Mu family. In the future, he is expected to bring the Mu family to a new height and become a powerful family like the Zhu family.

But it's all because of you, all of this is gone, why did you kill him? ! "

The old man was in more and more pain as he spoke, his face twisted, and he grinned, "You little bastard, I want you to be buried with me!"

He moved and quickly came in front of Xu Dongyang, raised his gun and stabbed him as fast as thunder.

"Be careful!" Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed from the side.

The sharp tip of the gun spewed out sharp spear light which pierced Xu Dongyang's skin, making him feel pain on his face.

But his spiritual perception was extremely sharp, and he reacted quickly. He summoned the Ruyi Stick and swept it out.

clang!

The collision between the gun and the stick made a sharp sound, and Zhu Zhuqing was so frightened that she covered her ears and looked at Xu Dongyang in the field with a worried look.

"What a powerful force! Soul Saint and Soul Emperor are indeed incomparable."

Xu Dongyang was horrified. A huge force was transmitted to his palms, making his arms numb. His body was knocked back and slid backwards for more than ten meters.

"He actually caught it!"

The old man was also terrified. His eyes widened as he looked at the other party in disbelief. Then his eyes became fierce and he rushed forward again.

The first soul skill - Heavy Mountain, the second soul skill - Fury, the third soul skill - Broken Gold, the fifth soul skill - Gravity Control, Lightning and Flint!

Xu Dongyang used all his strength right from the start. Facing the Soul Saint expert, he did not dare to be careless and hold back.

Electric arcs flashed on his body, heat rose, and his eyes glowed red. His body and the Ruyi stick in his hand became extremely light.

Then he attacked the old man with a stick. A golden halo flowed on the stick, giving people a sense of majesty and heaviness.

Clang clang!

A fierce battle broke out between the two, and the sound of metal clashing rang out continuously. Xu Dongyang, who had eliminated some of the influence of gravity, was extremely fast. He swung the Ruyi stick in his hand, leaving an afterimage, and fought back and forth with the opponent.

"What a powerful boy! No wonder he was able to kill my grandson. This boy must not be allowed to stay, otherwise he will become a big trouble in the future!"

The older man became more and more frightened as the fight went on, and the murderous intent in his heart grew stronger. He then used an amplifying soul skill, which greatly increased his strength and speed.

"This old guy is so strong! He is not comparable to the Soul Emperor at all. His strength is much greater and his speed is much faster. It seems that he is serious."

As the old man's strength and speed increased, Xu Dongyang soon fell into a disadvantage.

Swish swish!

The old man's third soul ring lit up, and then several gun shadows cut through the air and stabbed straight at Xu Dongyang.

As fast as the wind, as quick as thunder, so fast that Zhu Zhuqing standing by couldn't even see his shadow.

"So fast! I can't dodge!"

Xu Dongyang was shocked and used the Ruyi stick technique - immovable as a mountain style to block several fatal gun attacks. Then golden scales grew on his body.

External Soul Bone - Golden Scale

Zizizi!

The rest of the spear tip pierced the golden scales, and most of the force was absorbed by the smooth scales. The tip of the spear scraped across the scales, sparks flew, and a harsh friction sound was made.

It hurts!

Xu Dongyang's face looked somewhat painful and hideous. Although there were no wounds on his body, the force penetrated through the scales and his skin felt as if it was cut by a knife, causing unbearable pain.

"No! I can't fight him head-on, or I will definitely lose."

Realizing that he was not at an advantage in terms of strength, Xu Dongyang quickly withdrew, and with a flash of lightning, his figure disappeared on the spot.

Swish!

His figure kept appearing around the old man, attacking him with the Ruyi stick in his hand, and quickly retreating when his attack failed.

The whole person was like a ghost. He no longer fought head-on with the opponent. Instead, he quickly distanced himself after each strike and attacked again from a different angle.

"You just run around like a mouse. You are really a little beast! If you have the guts, challenge me head-on."

The old man is a strong attacking soul master, good at attacking and killing, but he is helpless against Xu Dongyang's rogue style of movement.

For a moment he was filled with anger and depression, and began to verbally abuse others.

"You old fool, you still have the nerve to bully the weak! You are so thick-skinned that you won't die even if I hit you with a stick."

Xu Dongyang did not give in to the other party. He directly fought back with words, continued to tease the other party with speed, and constantly looked for the other party's flaws.

After the two men were in a stalemate for a while, the old man suddenly became more powerful, his soul power burst out, and a wave of air shook Xu Dongyang away.

He was furious and grinned, saying, "I am not as fast as you, but I don't believe others can be as fast as you."

He used a defensive soul skill, and a thick soul power shield appeared on his body. Then he quickly rushed towards Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

not good!

Xu Dongyang immediately understood the other party's intention. He flashed behind the old man and hit him with a stick.

The huge force hit the protective gas shield, causing ripples. The color of the gas shield became much darker and a crack appeared. If a few more sticks were hit, it would definitely break.

That's too late!

The difference in soul power is too great. Even with the armor-piercing property of the third soul skill - Broken Gold, it is impossible to break the opponent's defense in a short time.

Zhu Zhuqing had already run to the back when the old man rushed over, but she was, after all, just a pseudo-Soul Sect member who had not yet obtained the fourth soul ring.

How can one be faster than a Soul Saint?

The old man thrust his spear straight towards Zhu Zhuqing's head.

Zhu Zhuqing's pupils shrank.

Are you going to die!

A kaleidoscope of things flashed through her mind, with scenes from the past emerging in her mind, from her birth to her escape from the Star Luo Empire, coming to Shrek, participating in the Soul Master Competition, and to the present.

She has been fighting to escape her fate all her life.

"It seems like there's nothing worth remembering!"

'only.'

Zhu Zhuqing smiled bitterly in her heart, and a figure suddenly appeared in her mind.

Suddenly she felt a huge force coming from her side. Xu Dongyang rushed to her side and pushed her away!

Facing the sharp spear in front of him, Xu Dongyang raised his hands covered with golden scales and grabbed the spear shaft.

Ah ah!

He clenched his teeth, veins bulged in his arms, and gripped the gun tightly, with the tip of the gun only an inch away from his chest.

"Boy! You are looking for death!" the old man grinned and exerted force with his arms suddenly.

The huge force pushed Xu Dongyang until he hit a huge rock behind him and stopped.

Pfft!

The spear pierced Xu Dongyang's chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning much paler.

"Don't worry, kid. I have avoided your vital points. You won't die for a while, because I want to skin you alive. Only in this way can I relieve the hatred in my heart."

The old man said with a grim smile, his words were cruel, which showed how deep his hatred for Xu Dongyang was.

Xu Dongyang hung his head, motionless, as if he had lost consciousness, but also as if he had accepted his fate.
