Destroying Evil Soul Masters 5

Taiyue Empire, Mingdu, Imperial Palace

On the throne, Feng Ling wore a purple cheongsam with a high slit, exposing her long, jade-white legs. Even the Old Emperor kneeling below could not help stealing glances at her cold, alluring, sensual charm.

"Speak. Where did Crown Prince Xu He go?"

Her cool, regal voice forced the Old Emperor back to reality from his wandering thoughts.

The Old Emperor said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Hmph, you still dare play tricks in front of me!"

With a flick of her finger, evil fire instantly entered the Old Emperor's body.

"AAAAAH! No! AAAAAH!"

The Old Emperor's entire body had been scorched by the evil fire, with not a single patch of intact flesh left. Even his face had been burned beyond recognition.

He looked like a zombie with chunks of flesh missing. Even with his mouth shut, his teeth could still be seen. It was utterly horrifying.

"If you still refuse to speak, you won't get another chance."

Feng Ling had already run out of patience. The moment she arrived in Mingdu with the Holy Cult's Evil Soul Masters, she had launched a surprise attack on the Imperial Palace.

Thanks to Xu Tianxiong's betrayal, they had met little resistance and slaughtered the Imperial Family until only the man before her remained.

There was also the fleeing Crown Prince Xu He. Thinking that Xu He was no genius and could not stir up any trouble, Feng Ling looked at the Old Emperor again, a trace of killing intent in her eyes.

Perhaps realizing the value of life, the Old Emperor had been scared out of his wits.

"I'll talk, I'll talk! As long as you spare my life, I'll tell you everything!"

Feng Ling frowned in displeasure.

"Too late. I wanted to know just now, but you refused to speak. Now I don't want to hear it. So, I can only ask you to die."

Upon hearing this, the Old Emperor desperately dragged his heavily wounded body toward Feng Ling, who sat on the throne.

"Please... please, I'll agree to any condition."

He crawled and begged, having long cast aside the dignity of the Sun Moon Empire's emperor.

Seeing the expression on his face as he sought her out like a lifeline, only to fall into despair, Feng Ling's Evil Phoenix Martial Soul sent her an intense thrill of pleasure.

"The Holy Cult never intended to cooperate with Xu Tianxiong. You were the first one we approached, but you failed to cherish this hard-won opportunity."

Looking at the grotesquely burned emperor crawling toward her, Feng Ling lost interest and no longer wished to play. She snorted coldly.

The reigning emperor of the Taiyue Empire, dead.

"Let's go find Xu Tianxiong. I hope he knows his place."

Feng Ling then stepped on her red high heels and flew toward Xu Tianxiong's manor.

Several Holy Cult elders followed after her, while the remaining Evil Soul Masters at the Soul Douluo and Soul Sage levels trailed closely behind.

Kong Deming ignored the towering flames at the Sun Moon Empire's Imperial Palace. Like an old man, he simply walked step by step to the entrance of Xu Tianxiong's residence.

He had just used several Level 9 Soul Tools to seal off this space. Xu Tianxiong and his people had gathered tonight to celebrate their victory. Not a single one of them would escape!

"Let this old man destroy you pests of the old era!"

Kong Deming looked at the brightly decorated manor. The laughter, chatter, and drunken calls of finger-guessing games inside naturally reached his ears.

A bright moon rose behind him, followed by nine soul rings.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.

The Level 10 Soul Tool, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, gave him the qualifications to threaten a Limit Douluo.

"Today, by His Highness Xu Xiao's order, I shall purge the traitors at the emperor's side!"

Kong Deming's aged yet powerful voice instantly spread through the manor, disrupting Xu Tianxiong and his son Xu Tianran, who had still been reveling in their celebration.

Some of those present recognized the voice as that of Kong Deming, the Empire's guardian.

"No! Elder Kong, we are all Imperial Members! We are family!"

"Elder Kong, do not be deceived by that ignorant child! We are loyal ministers who have devoted ourselves heart and soul to the Empire!"

...All manner of pleas for mercy and accusations against Xu Xiao rose up.

Xu Tianran then asked his father, "Father, what should we do?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Tianxiong already looked like an old man at the end of his days, his eyes filled with despair.

He knew how powerful Kong Deming was, not to mention the suffocating pressure he had just felt—pressure far beyond that of a Level 9 Soul Tool.

"Elder Kong... he... he has become a Level 10 Soul Tool Master. None of us will survive." Xu Tianxiong walked weakly into the room.

The people present immediately panicked. There were several Level 9 Soul Tool Masters among them, but the gap between Level 9 and Level 10 made them feel as though one foot had already stepped into hell.

"No, no! There's still hope."

Like a madman, Xu Tianran rushed toward the secret passage he had prepared. Naturally, he intended to slip away quietly, leaving everyone else alive to draw Elder Kong's attention.

Unfortunately, Kong Deming did not share the perverse sense of amusement of Evil Phoenix Title Douluo Feng Ling.

Using the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield and himself as a relay station, he used Spiritual Power to control the Soul Guidance Rays of dozens of Level 8 Soul Tools, guiding, compressing, and fusing them.

At last, the fused attack, comparable to a Limit Douluo's full-power strike, was complete.

"Silver Moon Divine Light Wave!"

The attack unleashed by a Level 10 Soul Tool was already slightly stronger than a Limit Douluo's full-power strike.

Inside the manor, Xu Tianxiong put on the dragon robe he had prepared one last time. Then he gave a miserable smile. "Xu Xiao? The Taiyue Empire is yours now! Hahahaha!"

His voice was gradually swallowed by the approaching Divine Light Wave.

In the darkness of night, the entire manor seemed to become a second moon, flashing with blinding radiance.

What followed was a full minute of light pollution!

No one could escape alive from Elder Kong's Silver Moon Divine Light Wave.

Xu Tianran looked despairingly at the light wave rushing toward him from behind, but he could not move forward. An invisible barrier had formed in the air where he could not see it.

The Level 10 Soul Tool, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, could not only protect its user but also trap enemies. Without any surprise, the future hero Xu Tianran died beneath the light wave.

With the help of the Level 10 Soul Tool, Elder Kong sensed a vast amount of evil aura spreading throughout Mingdu.

"We cannot let these rats in the gutter harm the people of my Empire." But in the end, he could not be everywhere at once.

To keep the operation secret, Elder Kong had not brought the Hall of Worship with him, and Jing Hongchen naturally had not mobilized Mingde Hall either.

Suddenly, Elder Kong received word that Xiang Yu was nearby, so he immediately contacted him.

"General Xiang, the people of Mingdu need your support. There are too many Evil Soul Masters here! The Hall of Worship is already gathering as well."

Xiang Yu, on the other end of the call, agreed after receiving the message.

Kong Deming also contacted the Hall of Worship's members.

"Ye Yulin, quickly gather all the Hall of Worship's Level 9 Soul Engineers to deal with the Evil Soul Master forces invading Mingdu. Also, keep an eye on these people. They are ours, so do not injure them by mistake."

Upon receiving the message on the other side, Ye Yulin discovered that everyone listed, including Xiang Yu, bore unfamiliar Titles he had never seen before. His face was full of curiosity.

"There are no names like these on Douluo Continent. Strange. How could those who cultivated to become Title Douluo possibly be unknown figures?"

Over in Mingdu, Jing Hongchen also arrived in time to join Elder Kong. Xu Xiao came with him, protected by Xiao He.
