Evil Soul · Undercurrent

Snack Street.

Afternoon.

The five continued to stroll.

Quan Cangtian and Zixiao walked ahead.

Holding hands.

Zixiao occasionally leaned on his shoulder, saying something.

Her voice was very soft.

Only Quan Cangtian could hear.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong walked behind.

Between the two of them, there was still a bit of awkwardness.

Wang Dong occasionally glanced at Huo Yuhao.

Then quickly looked away.

Xiao Xiao walked alone to the side.

Eating skewers.

She looked at the two couples ahead.

One pair holding hands.

One pair acting awkward.

She lowered her head.

And took another bite.

Quan Cangtian suddenly stopped.

Something was jumping inside his body.

Heavenly Fire.

He raised his head.

Street corner.

Several people wore black robes.

Very secretive.

Mixed in the crowd.

But Quan Cangtian felt it.

Evil Soul Masters.

Extremely secretive and cunning.

They were not here to attack civilians.

They were here to snatch people.

The target--

Him.

One of the black-robed figures said in a low voice:

"There's something in that kid's body... the taste of Heavenly Fire."

Another:

"Take him alive."

Quan Cangtian's gaze turned cold.

They had come.

Zixiao also felt it.

She tightly grasped Quan Cangtian's hand.

"I'll handle it."

Quan Cangtian shook his head.

"No rush."

He looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

The two of them had also noticed.

Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye, Mental Detection deployed.

Locked onto the locations of the black-robed figures.

Wang Dong's Goddess of Light Butterfly, wings slightly spread.

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment.

Then--

She felt it.

Soul power fluctuations.

Very strong.

She took a bite of her skewer.

Stuffed the rest into her mouth.

Stood up.

"Young Patriarch."

She said in a low voice.

Quan Cangtian nodded.

"Get ready."

The black-robed figures made their move.

Instantly.

Soul power erupted.

The snack street exploded.

The crowd screamed.

Stalls were overturned.

Food scattered across the ground.

Quan Cangtian protected Zixiao at the first instance.

Zixiao, however, turned around to protect him instead.

"I'll handle it."

She said coldly.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong reacted simultaneously.

Back to back.

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment.

Then--

She raised her hand.

Martial Soul summoned.

An ancient cauldron appeared above her head.

Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

The power of soul suppression pressed down.

The soul power of the black-robed figures was suppressed for a split second.

Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth.

She didn't summon her Second Martial Soul.

Stable for now.

Quan Cangtian looked at Zixiao.

"Spread out."

He said in a low voice.

"Don't let civilians get hurt."

Zixiao nodded.

The five of them quickly dispersed.

Forming a defensive circle.

Huo Yuhao's Mental Detection locked onto all the black-robed figures.

Wang Dong's Goddess of Light Butterfly flew up.

Preparing to attack.

Xiao Xiao's Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron maintained suppression.

Quan Cangtian stood in the middle.

His gaze cold.

Five black-robed figures.

Level 25 to Level 35.

The leader was a Level 35 Soul Elder.

He looked at Quan Cangtian.

His gaze greedy.

"That kid, grab him."

He said in a low voice.

The other four black-robed figures attacked simultaneously.

Soul skills released.

Darkness, corrosion, poison mist, bone spikes.

Four types of soul skills simultaneously lunged toward Quan Cangtian.

Zixiao blocked in front of Quan Cangtian.

Lightning crackled.

"Judgment."

She said coldly.

Purple Emperor Heavenly Punishment—Judgment.

Lightning descended from the sky.

Boom.

The Level 35 black-robed figure was struck.

Retreated three steps.

His clothes were burned through with holes.

His gaze turned solemn.

"This woman... is not simple."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong coordinated.

Huo Yuhao's Mental Detection locked onto two of the black-robed figures.

Wang Dong's Goddess of Light Butterfly released a Light Blade.

"Light Blade."

She said in a low voice.

Two light blades slashed toward the black-robed figures.

The black-robed figures dodged.

But Huo Yuhao's Spirit-Devouring Silver Knife had already arrived.

Soul Severing.

The black-robed figure shrieked.

His spirit was severed.

His movements became sluggish.

Wang Dong's light blade slashed down once more.

This time, he couldn't dodge.

The two black-robed figures were suppressed.

Xiao Xiao stood to the side.

She looked at the fourth black-robed figure.

Gritted her teeth.

Then--

She blew the Nine Phoenix Flourishing Xiao.

The sound of the xiao rang out.

Control.

The black-robed figure's movements slowed down.

Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth.

Twin Martial Souls, summoned simultaneously.

Very exhausting.

But she didn't stop.

The Level 35 black-robed figure looked at Quan Cangtian.

His gaze was greedy.

That kid, he must be captured.

He made his move again.

Soul skill unleashed.

Darkness Tentacle.

Countless black tentacles lunged at Quan Cangtian.

Quan Cangtian did not dodge.

Inside his body, the Heavenly Fire was leaping.

He reached out his hand.

Golden flames surged from his palm.

It was not the brilliant gold of Destruction.

It was not the emerald green of Abundance.

It was a pure, scorching gold.

Heavenly Fire.

Ultimate destructive power.

The Darkness Tentacle was swallowed by the Heavenly Fire.

Disintegrated.

Vanished.

Quan Cangtian waved his hand.

The Heavenly Fire lunged at the Level 35 black-robed man.

Boom.

The black-robed man screamed.

He was burned back.

His clothes were burned through with holes.

His skin was scorched.

His gaze was fearful.

This flame... it's not Douluo's power!

The entire scene was shocked.

Huo Yuhao widened his eyes.

What the fuck?

Wang Dong frowned.

What is this?

Xiao Xiao was stunned.

Zixiao's gaze brightened for a moment.

Her lightning leaped at her fingertips.

His power...

She said in a low voice.

Quan Cangtian withdrew his hand.

The Heavenly Fire dormant back into his body.

He looked at the Level 35 black-robed man.

His gaze was cold.

Scram.

A single word.

The Level 35 black-robed man looked at Quan Cangtian.

His gaze was fearful.

He knew he could not capture him anymore.

Retreat.

He said in a low voice.

The other four black-robed men retreated simultaneously.

They prepared to run away.

Zixiao watched them with cold eyes.

Lightning leaped.

Lifted her hand.

Purple Emperor Heavenly Punishment gathered.

Judgment.

She said coldly.

Lightning descended from the sky.

Boom.

The five black-robed men were struck simultaneously.

Screams.

They were knocked back.

Xiao Xiao blew the Nine Phoenix Flourishing Xiao.

The sound of the xiao rang out.

Control.

The last black-robed man moved sluggishly.

Unable to run away.

Zixiao withdrew her hand.

Looked at Quan Cangtian.

Her gaze changed from cold to gentle.

Quan Cangtian smiled.

Powerful.

The corners of Zixiao's mouth lifted slightly.

Very lightly.

The battle ended.

The snack street gradually returned to peace.

Stalls had been overturned.

Food was scattered all over the ground.

But the commoners had all hidden away.

No one was injured.

Quan Cangtian looked at Xiao Xiao.

Are you okay?

Xiao Xiao nodded.

I'm fine.

Her heart was very complicated.

She had seen the coordination between Quan Cangtian and Zixiao.

So tacit.

She had seen Quan Cangtian use the Heavenly Fire.

So powerful.

She had seen Zixiao's judgment.

So ruthless yet so gentle.

Her heart felt sour.

But she would not give up.

She walked over.

Stood beside Quan Cangtian.

Young Patriarch, I can help too.

Quan Cangtian looked at her.

Mhm, you did very well. Twin Martial Souls, very powerful.

Xiao Xiao smiled.

But her heart still felt sour.

Zixiao looked at Xiao Xiao.

Her gaze was calm.

She didn't speak.

Instead, her hand gripped Quan Cangtian's tightly.

Xiao Xiao noticed.

Her heart felt even sourer.

Yet she still smiled.

Young Patriarch, what is... the Heavenly Fire?

She asked.

Quan Cangtian shook his head.

I'll tell you later.

Xiao Xiao nodded.

Okay.

She didn't pursue the question.

But she kept it in her heart.

Heavenly Fire.

It wasn't Douluo's power.

The young patriarch still had secrets.

Dormitory.

Late at night.

Quan Cangtian lay on the bed.

Looking inward at his body.

The Heavenly Flame Prototype was burning.

Golden flames.

Not hot.

Instead, somewhat warm.

He thought of Kevin.

Honkai Impact 3rd's Judgment of Shamash.

The cost of use--

Incinerating the user's life.

Unless one possessed Parvati's genes.

Did he possess Parvati's genes?

No.

He possessed two Star God Seeds of Destruction and Abundance.

Could they suppress the backlash of the Heavenly Fire?

He wasn't sure.

Why did the Evil Soul Masters know about the Heavenly Fire?

Who had sent them?

The Envoy of Elation?

Or some other faction?

Quan Cangtian closed his eyes.

The Destruction and Abundance inside his body were resonating.

The two Star God Seeds, plus the Heavenly Flame Prototype.

His power was becoming increasingly complex.

But--

Interesting.

He said in a low voice.

Then.

He slept.

Outside the window.

The moonlight was very bright.

Heavenly Fire.

Cost.

Evil Soul Master.

This lifetime was getting more and more interesting.

[Joy Envoy Bullet Screen]: Heavenly Fire is unsheathed, and the Evil Soul Master doubts his life on the spot--is that kid carrying a nuke inside him?

The direction of Tianhun City.

The covert fluctuations of Soul Power disappeared.

The Evil Soul Master Team retreated.

But they would not give up.

Heavenly Fire.

They wanted it.

Quan Cangtian fell asleep.

Inside his body.

The Heavenly Flame Prototype lay dormant.

Destruction and Abundance resonated.

Two Star God Seeds plus Heavenly Fire.

It was getting more and more interesting.
