Angel Legion's Operation

Qin Heng could not be bothered to pay attention to Bibi Dong's emotional changes behind him. He did not expect to break Bibi Dong's love-struck mindset in just one or two attempts.

This heated exchange had merely been to plant a thorn in Bibi Dong's heart, while also giving himself some satisfaction.

After leaving the Pope Palace, Qin Heng headed to the Worship Hall. He wanted to cultivate in seclusion at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for a while and break through the bottleneck at level 50.

Qian Daoliu readily agreed. The Angel Legion happened to be heading to the Heaven Dou Empire on a mission, so they could drop Qin Heng off along the way.

This was Qin Heng's first time dealing with the Angel Legion. This time, the Angel Legion had deployed a vanguard squad of thirty Soul Masters, all with Angel Martial Souls. Even the weakest among them were level 56 Soul Kings.

The leader was a female Titled Douluo, one of the Soul Douluos whom Qian Daoliu had helped condense Soul Cores to break through last time.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Fire Feather." Qin Heng politely bowed in greeting.

Qian Yumo smiled and nodded. She knew of Qin Heng, this genius Soul Master. At just eight years old, he was already a level 49 Soul Ancestor. Such cultivation speed was unprecedented.

Naturally, Qian Yumo wanted to build a good relationship with such a genius.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be so formal. You are the Grand Elder's disciple, and the Grand Elder is my paternal cousin. Strictly speaking, we are of the same generation!"

"Your Excellency Fire Feather is a Titled Douluo. No matter how close our relationship is, one should still maintain a proper sense of reverence toward a Titled Douluo."

Qian Yumo smiled faintly. "As you wish. Get in the carriage. We are setting off!"

With that, Qian Yumo entered the carriage first, and Qin Heng followed right after her.

Qian Yumo was already eighty-two years old. In his previous life, someone of that age would have long been an elderly person in the twilight of life. Yet Qian Yumo looked to be only in her thirties or forties. Clearly, breaking through to Titled Douluo had restored her youth.

"Your Excellency Fire Feather, is your Martial Soul also a Four-Winged Angel?" Qin Heng asked curiously.

"No. My Martial Soul is a Two-Winged Angel, but it has mutated compared to other Two-Winged Angel Martial Souls. Its flames are far more powerful and possess extremely potent burning properties.

"Anyone struck by my flames must either use Soul Power far greater than mine to forcibly extinguish them, or rely on ice-element soul skills to counter them.

"If they fail to quickly contain my flames, their Soul Power will be burned dry first, then their bodies, until they finally turn to ash."

After hearing Qian Yumo's explanation, Qin Heng finally understood why her title was related to fire. Qian Yumo was an incredibly powerful fire-element Soul Master!

"Your Excellency Fire Feather, are you heading to the Heaven Dou Empire this time to eliminate Fallen Ones?" Qin Heng abruptly changed the subject.

"That is right. A few days ago, we received word from the Balak Kingdom that a group of Fallen Ones had appeared within its borders. Their objective seemed to be passing through the Balak Kingdom and entering the Star Luo Empire."

"A group? There are actually that many Fallen Ones?"

"To be honest, I was startled when I heard the report as well. There has not been news of Fallen Ones on such a large scale for nearly fifty years. According to eyewitness reports, this group contains over thirty people, and its leader appears to be a Soul Douluo.

"That is precisely why the Grand Elder personally gave the order for me to lead the Angel Legion's vanguard in pursuit. Once we catch up to them, show no mercy."

Qin Heng was immediately intrigued. His main body would not put itself in danger, but his clone was in Suotuo City!

Suotuo City was also part of the Balak Kingdom. When the time came, he could have his clone go take a look. Fighting Fallen Ones sounded like it would be quite interesting.

Afterward, Qian Yumo sent Qin Heng to the area above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Then she directly led the vanguard's thirty-six Angel Soul Masters to summon their Martial Souls and fly toward the Balak Kingdom.

After entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Qin Heng greeted Golden Crocodile Douluo and Dugu Bo, who were guarding the place. Then he removed his clothes and jumped straight into the ice and fire springs.

He slowly closed his eyes and began circulating the Pure Yang Infinite Skill to cultivate. Once he entered a focused state, he devoted all his attention to his clone.

Although Qin Heng's Heart Separation Control method could now perfectly control his main body and clone at the same time, this time his clone was going to fight Fallen Ones. It was better to focus completely on the battle.

At this moment, Qin Heng's clone had already run out of Suotuo City and was heading toward the Star Luo Empire.

The Fallen Ones' destination was the Star Luo Empire. He could not be wrong in heading this way.

After leaving Suotuo City by a certain distance, "Qin Heng" directly merged with the Asura Armor, gaining height painlessly.

After merging with the Asura Armor, "Qin Heng" would automatically grow to the height most suited for the Asura Armor. He activated his Second Soul Skill and sprinted all the way forward.

About two hours later, Qin Heng's clone arrived at a village.

After racing onward for two hours, Qin Heng's clone finally arrived outside a fairly large village.

The village had nearly a hundred households, its homes arranged in orderly rows. A stone monument at the entrance bore the words "Qinghe Village."

By all rights, it was noon, and the village should have been bustling, with cooking smoke rising from every household.

Yet at this moment, the entire village was deathly silent. Not even the faintest bark or crow could be heard, and the air seemed frozen beneath a layer of ominous deathly aura.

This is bad. "Qin Heng" did not slow down. He charged directly through the village entrance.

The moment he entered, an overpowering stench of blood that made him want to vomit assaulted him. Even through the thick faceplate of the Asura Armor, the smell remained so pungent that it seemed to seep into his bones.

"Qin Heng's" pupils abruptly contracted. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickened his pace again. After several flashes, he arrived before the nearest house to the village entrance.

He violently pushed open the half-closed wooden door. The first thing he saw was a large, sturdy yellow dog split cleanly in two from head to tail, its intestines and organs scattered across the ground, its blood long coagulated into a dark brown.

His gaze swept farther into the house, where he saw nine corpses lying in disarray. There were adults, elderly people, and children, both male and female.

But the most horrifying part was that every corpse had withered in a grotesque manner, their skin stretched tightly over their bones as though all the blood in their bodies had been forcibly drained by some power.

Even more atrocious were the bodies of two young children in the center of the room. Their tiny chests had been brutally torn open, their hearts nowhere to be found, leaving behind only two savage bloody holes.

"Qin Heng" stood in the doorway, his body trembling slightly.

Ever since crossing into Douluo Continent, he had seen conflict and slaughter, but the sight before him had completely touched the deepest line he would not allow anyone to cross.

Those innocent elderly people, women, and children, those youngsters who should have been carefree and innocent, had been treated with such cruelty.

An unprecedented fury erupted from deep within his chest, nearly burning away all reason.

"What a pack of inhuman beasts!" "Qin Heng" gritted his teeth, forcing each word out through the gaps between them. His voice was low and hoarse, carrying killing intent suppressed to the absolute limit.
