Scorpion Tail At the tip, there is a deep light, brighter than the purest gem, and darker than the deadliest venom.
Scorpion Tail stabbed down silently, aiming directly at the connection between the back of the neck and the skull of the fourth elder. The Soul Power's defense showed an imperceptible sluggishness due to the resistance against Dan-Devour and the summoning of the Spirit Empire.
"Pfft."
A sound that is so slight that it is almost inaudible.
Scorpion Tail easily pierced the Soul Power defense that the four elders had gathered on the back of their necks in a hurry. The deep light erupted in an instant and actually swallowed it up! An irresistible, cold and greedy suction force exploded with the piercing point as the center!
"Ah--!"
The fourth elder let out a short and angry groan, and his whole body trembled violently as if struck by lightning! He clearly felt that his Soul Power, as majestic as the sea, his energy and blood as strong as the scorching sun, his vitality as tough as a mountain, and even... his soul Origin, were all being plundered and devoured by the strange thing that pierced the back of his neck!
The speed was so fast that it scared him! Clear Sky Hammer's shadow flickered violently and almost collapsed. He tried his best to break free and fight back, but Dan-Devour crazily devoured his Soul Power and The body functions and the Scorpion Tail in the back of his head were also devouring the Soul Power that had been drained instantly. Under the double blow, his terrifying power was like a frozen river. It was difficult to operate and could not be used even 10% of the time!
Dan-Devour creates a killing window. Scorpion Tail accurately penetrates the weak point of defense, ignores physical defense, and directly swallows energy in one go, interlocking without any gaps.
The anger and unwillingness in the eyes of the fourth elder quickly dimmed like a candle in a strong wind. He could feel that his consciousness was being torn apart and swallowed by the cold and ruthless suction, and the strength of his body dissipated like an ebbing tide.
He wanted to roar, wanted to explode the last true form of Clear Sky Hammer, wanted to warn the sect... but it was too late. The Scorpion Tail seemed to be connected to the bottomless abyss, greedily sucking everything in him. And the devouring brought by Dan-Devour was rapidly spreading from his ankles, giving his remaining vitality a color of end.
The last thing he saw was the pile of inconspicuous "Rock debris" beside the dark red boulder slowly "standing" and transforming into the figure of a young man in black robe. Under the hood, two icy blue lights stared at him calmly, as if looking at a piece of firewood that was about to burn out, or a meal that was about to be enjoyed.
There is no ridicule, no pleasure, just absolute indifference.
The fourth elder's burly body seemed to have been drained of all support and slowly fell forward. The skin quickly lost its luster and became shriveled and gray. The vigorous flesh and blood cracked like dried soil. The powerful Soul Power waves receded like the tide and disappeared without a trace.
The phantom of Clear Sky Hammer, which once shocked the mainland, let out an unwilling and weak buzz, and finally completely collapsed, turning into specks of light dust. Before it could disperse, it was shattered by the chaotic energy flow around it.
"Bang."
The heavy body hit the hot sand, raising a small cloud of dust, and then there was no more movement. Fourth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, which was once as thick as a mountain, was now only a withered and shrunken body that quickly lost all vitality, like a long-weathered rotten wood that had been forgotten in the Gobi.
The figure of Kraken appeared silently next to the corpse. Scorpion Tail slowly retracted it. He lowered his head and glanced at the corpse that quickly became cold and dry under his feet. There was no wave in his ice blue eyes.
"The quality is good." He whispered to himself, his voice was hoarse and flat, as if he was evaluating the quality of a piece of ore. Titled Douluo is still an elder of a top sect like Clear Sky Sect, and his soul Origin and energy are far beyond those of the previous Soul Douluo. It should be able to play a big role in "her" recovery.
He did not dispose of the body immediately. He bent down and groped deftly with his cold fingers on the body's waist, wrists and other places. Soon, he found his target - a ring that looked like an ordinary gray-black stone, and a palm-sized, equally inconspicuous leather bag.
The two items did not seem to be damaged by Scorpion Tail's suction, and remained in their original state. "Storage Soul Tool." Kraken understood clearly in his heart. He unceremoniously peeled the two items off the corpse, erased the last trace of soul marks that might remain on them, and took them as his own. As for the contents inside, now is not the time to inspect.
After doing this, he stretched out his hand, and invisible power enveloped him. The dry body and the clothes on his body were quickly decomposed and peeled off, and finally turned into a handful of the purest, shimmering energy dust, which he inhaled through his mouth.
Although the remaining energy is not much, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is just a piece of flesh. There are only a few pieces of metal that have completely lost their luster and turned into ordinary iron, and a simple-looking token that is engraved with the Clear Sky Hammer mark, but has completely faded. The token seems to be some kind of identity document, but it is like a dead thing at the moment.
Kraken didn't even look at the garbage. He just put away the newly seized Storage Soul Tool, feeling the newly injected energy in his body slowly combine with the energy of Soul Douluo that he had swallowed before.
He raised his head and looked with his ice-blue eyes into the depths of Forgotten Gobi, where the energy was chaotic and the sandstorm was faint, and he seemed to have passed through the barrier of space and looked in a more distant direction.
Fourth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect died here. No matter how "peacefully" he died, the disappearance or death of a Titled Douluo, especially an elder Clear Sky Sect, cannot be completely hidden from the Clear Sky Sect. Especially, when he may have some kind of sect sensing method left on his body, or his long-term loss of contact will inevitably cause alarm.
Moreover, now that the four elders are here, those Soul Douluos who had previously sneaked in and were responsible for the preliminary exploration are probably not too far away. They may be following the marks or instructions left by the four elders to gather and explore this area.
"That's fine."
The corners of Kraken's mouth curved upward in a cold and indifferent arc, almost imperceptibly.
"... If you come here, don't even think about leaving."
He repeated his previous thoughts in a low voice, and his voice instantly disappeared without a trace in the roaring wind and sand.
His figure swayed and turned into an imperceptible shadow again, blending silently into the depths of the auburn Rock forest. He followed the faint aura and Soul Power remnants of the fourth elder's arrival that had not yet completely dissipated in the air, and followed him in reverse direction.
Only the dim token is left, half buried in the sand, and will soon be completely buried by the flowing gravel. Perhaps it will have to wait until the next sandstorm, or a sufficiently "lucky" latecomer to discover these insignificant traces of the last existence of a Titled Douluo.
But, that is no longer important. And the muddy waters caused by the disappearance of Bai Chenxiang, affecting the top forces in the mainland, have just begun to be stirred up, and the figure of Kraken disappeared in the shadow of Rock and the diffuse wind and sand.
