Slaughter

Qin Tian stood in the center, looking at the Nether Wolf pack with a cold smile.

If any other Soul Elders encountered this, they would likely already be feeling the urge to retreat.

Although the highest-ranked Nether Wolf in this pack was only three thousand years old, their greatest advantage was their coordination. The thousand-year Nether Wolves and hundred-year Nether Wolves worked together. It wasn't just Soul Elder teams; even a Soul Ancestor squad wouldn't dare to be careless when facing them.

But they were different. Even though they were a team of Soul Elders, with their soul power generally at level thirty-three or thirty-four, their Martial Souls were all top-tier Martial Souls.

Moreover, after the training from the Worship Hall, their combat strength was not something that could be measured by soul power alone.

What's more, the soul rings they had obtained were all absorbed by breaking through their level, making their strength so great that they wouldn't fear even ten-thousand-year soul beasts, let alone the Nether Wolf pack before them.

"Brothers, prepare for battle."

"That three-thousand-year Nether Wolf is mine. You guys can split the rest."

As Qin Tian finished speaking, he directly initiated Martial Soul Possession, his eyes fixed on the alpha wolf.

Tian Yao and the others heard Qin Tian's words, and their mouths curved into smiles as they laughed heartily.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

Everyone shouted in unison, then proceeded to perform Martial Soul Possession, preparing for battle.

Instantly, soul rings appeared, with yellow, purple, and black lights catching the eye.

Qin Tian's Martial Soul had two purple and one black soul ring. Tian Yao and the others all had one yellow and two purple. If an outsider saw this scene, they would surely...

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Battle Body."

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Diamond Transformation."

Qin Tian directly unleashed his first and second soul skills. Under the effect of these two amplification soul skills, his strength greatly increased.

He clenched his fists, feeling the immense power within him, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Self-Created Soul Skill, Holy Light Roar!"

Qin Tian took a deep breath and then let out a tiger's roar.

As the roar echoed, the might of a king permeated the air. Under the mental impact, the Nether Wolf pack fell into a brief daze.

Seeing this, Tian Yao and the others unleashed their own soul skills.

"Kill!"

Qin Tian shouted lowly, stomped his right foot fiercely, and his body shot towards the Nether Wolf pack like a cannonball.

"Holy Light Triple Strike!"

He raised his right tiger claw and slashed fiercely at the wolf pack.

Three massive claw shadows appeared. Any Nether Wolf that stood in the path of the tiger claw was torn apart.

In the blink of an eye, several hundred-year Nether Wolves were dead, and dozens of younger Nether Wolves let out whimpers as their bodies were ripped to shreds.

After tearing open a path, Qin Tian raised his tiger claw and slammed it down fiercely on the three-thousand-year Nether Wolf.

Tian Yao and the others also refused to be outdone, charging into the wolf pack and slaughtering them.

In the sky, the Fourth Enshrined Mighty Lion Douluo and the Fifth Enshrined Light Feather Douluo watched the battle below, their faces showing satisfaction.

"Not bad. Even when hunting a rabbit, one must use their full strength. Although Xiao Tian and the others are fighting for real for the first time, their performance is commendable."

Light Feather Douluo nodded in agreement as he listened to Mighty Lion Douluo.

"Hmm?"

"Why are they here?"

Mighty Lion Douluo and Light Feather Douluo looked towards the entrance of Lost Trace Canyon, their brows furrowed.

"Fourth Brother, I'll go take a look."

Light Feather Douluo's figure flickered, and he directly arrived at the entrance of Lost Trace Canyon. Looking at the two figures, a cold light flowed in his eyes.

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, what are you two doing here?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei looked at the figure who suddenly appeared, their faces showing respect.

"Yue Guan and Gui Mei pay their respects to the Fifth Enshrined."

Light Feather Douluo nodded slightly, but remained silent.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged glances, feeling a bit awkward, unsure of how to start.

Light Feather Douluo seemed to have guessed their purpose and spoke in a deep voice.

"Your purpose here is to scout their strength. Go back and tell Bibi Dong to have fewer schemes and focus on cultivating her disciple properly. Don't disgrace the Martial Soul Hall."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei listened to Light Feather Douluo's words and bowed respectfully to him again.

"Yes, Fifth Enshrined, we will relay your words truthfully to His Holiness the Pope."

Light Feather Douluo chuckled at this, waving his hand dismissively, signaling for them to leave.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei glanced at Lost Trace Canyon. When they saw the Fourth Enshrined Mighty Lion Douluo, they turned and left.

Seeing them leave, Light Feather Douluo walked to Mighty Lion Douluo's side and looked at the battle below.

At this moment, the battle below had reached its conclusion.

Although the Nether Wolf pack was decent, it was merely decent, and to Qin Tian and the others, it posed no significant trouble at all.

The seven members of Qin Tian's squad were no ordinary Soul Elders; each of them possessed the strength to fight against opponents of higher ranks.

"Hoo!"

After killing a three-thousand-year-old Nether Wolf with a Slash, Qin Tian let out a heavy breath of stale air.

He looked at the corpses littering the ground with a calm expression, his face indifferent and his eyes devoid of ripples.

It was as if they hadn't just experienced a slaughter, and the wolf carcasses covering the ground had nothing to do with them.

"Clean up the battlefield; we're preparing to move."

As Qin Tian caught the scent of blood in the air, he knew clearly that they could not stay here any longer.

The heavy smell of blood would surely attract other soul beasts, and if they continued to stay here, endless combat would be waiting for them.

The group had just finished a fight, and their stamina and soul power were both depleted. While they were not incapable of fighting if they had to, as the captain, he had to consider much more.

He naturally wanted to avoid unknown risks with all his might.

"Brother Tian, there are no soul bones."

Upon hearing this, there was no disappointment on Qin Tian's face; he simply nodded indifferently.

"Let's go."

As he spoke, Qin Tian glanced around, casually picked a direction, and led the group away.

"Awoo!"

"Roar!"

"Hiss!"

Beast roars erupted from all sides, but Qin Tian and the others remained expressionless, silently pressing forward.

The seven of them advanced in a combat formation, and before they knew it, they arrived at a valley.

Looking at the valley before him, Qin Tian immediately decided to rest here for the night.

Not long after the group had left, soul beasts arrived at the place where they had fought.

The bodies of the Nether Wolves fell into the bellies of these soul beasts, becoming their food.

Qin Tian and the others were naturally unaware of this; they were currently setting up tents, lighting fires, and roasting Nether Wolf meat.

After having their fill, Qin Tian began to arrange the night watch.

"Lost Trace Canyon is not like the outside world; it is filled with crises everywhere. We must remain vigilant and cannot afford to let our guard down."

"I will take the first half of the night, and Tian Yao will take the second half. Tomorrow, Qian Han will take the first half, and Xiong Sheng the second. We will rotate in this order until we leave Lost Trace Canyon."

Tian Yao, Qian Han, and the others listened to Qin Tian's arrangements and nodded solemnly.

"Brother Tian, we will listen to you."

Qin Tian gave a slight nod, looked at the group, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, go get some rest."

With that, Qin Tian went to a nearby large tree, leaped up into it, and scanned his surroundings with his eyes, ready to detect any movement at the first sign of trouble.

High above, Mighty Lion Douluo and Light Feather Douluo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with satisfaction.

The training in Lost Trace Canyon tested not only their combat ability but also their survival skills and reaction times in the wild.
