"Shangguan Wei'er is so strong? Can you even find out this information about the Xishui Alliance?"
Lu Ren was really shocked now.
Among Holy Spirit Cult's Eight Great Elders, the seventh elder is Masked Douluo, Fourth Elder is Netherworld Douluo, and the third elder is Nether Thunder Douluo. These are all top-notch combat powers at the Titled Douluo level.
Xishui Alliance leader Nangong Wan ranks second, second only to the Great Elder.
Being able to accurately find out the whereabouts of the four elders from inside the Xishui Alliance, this intelligence capability far exceeded his expectations.
It seems that Shangguan Wei'er is by no means an ordinary underground leader.
With the Imperial Family background behind her and the network of contacts she has built over the years, she is indeed an information network that cannot be ignored in the land of Mingdu.
"Leader Shangguan is really powerful. I'm still young and I need to learn a lot from her."
Nana's eyes were filled with unabashed admiration.
"She can do a lot of things that I can't do. Although we have established some intelligence channels, compared with the Ordinary Alliance, the depth of penetration and coverage are far behind."
"You may not be worse than her in the future."
Lu Ren looked at Nana and said seriously.
This little girl was just Soul Elder when she was rescued by him from Holy Spirit Cult Branch Altar. Now, with the aid of medicine, she has reached the fifty-fourth level of Soul King.
Although it is not comparable to those top geniuses, it is already a very good progress rate among ordinary Soul Master.
"But what I can do to help Master now is very limited----" Nana felt a little embarrassed and twisted his fingers together unconsciously.
Lu Ren didn't say anything more. Some recognitions don't need to be emphasized repeatedly. Actions have more weight than words.
He turned his gaze to Ji Juechen and raised his chin at him. "I'm going to kill Xishui Alliance's people first. Lao Ji, follow me."
Then he turned to Nana and added, "If Ye Guyi comes out of seclusion, tell her to come directly to me. Holy Angel Martial Soul is naturally restrained from fighting Evil Soul Master. She will not want to miss such a good practical opportunity."
Mingdu, late at night.
Lu Ren took Ji Juechen to an area in the suburbs.
--
According to the intelligence information provided by Nana, this area has become the territory of Holy Spirit Cult.
A few sparse lights in the night flickered in the outline of Mingdu in the distance, but this place seemed to have been deliberately forgotten.
There are overgrown weeds and ruins, and even the air is filled with a faint smell of corruption, which is the Soul Power residue left after Evil Soul Master has been active here for a long time.
Maybe it's because Lu Ren killed so many Evil Soul Masters of Holy Spirit Cult that Holy Spirit Cult is now becoming more and more rampant.
In order to hunt down the nemesis who restrained Evil Soul Master, they gradually went crazy. Even suburban strongholds that were supposed to be kept strictly confidential began to openly gather manpower.
"Let me remind you first, Lao Ji."
Lu Ren slowed down, turned to look at Ji Juechen beside him, and said in an extremely serious tone, "Can you still Domain Expansion now? How much have you recovered since you fought with me during the day?"
"Yes, I can use it three times a day. Just now still has energy left after using it once, and the condition has almost recovered."
Ji Juechen's answer was still concise. His fingers gently rubbed Sword hilt, and Silver-White Long Sword made a very subtle buzz in the sheath, as if in response to the owner's fighting intention.
"Well, it's pretty normal."
Lu Ren nodded.
Ji Juechen's field is not comparable to his. Although his Hall of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Dust can still neutralize the sure-hit attribute, Just now's competition has proved that as long as Lu Ren is willing, his field strength is enough to cover Ji Juechen's field, not to mention the trump card of Anti-Domain Specialized Cursed Spirit.
He just wanted to experiment with the effect of Anti-Domain Specialized Cursed Spirit. Although the results were very satisfactory, the nature of the subsequent battle was completely different.
The discussion can go as far as it goes, but there is no turning back in a life-and-death fight.
"You have to understand that Titled Douluo at the Evil Soul Master level is different from other ordinary Titled Douluo."
Lu Ren warned Ji Juechen sternly, keeping his voice extremely low.
"You know, among Soul Master World, everyone recognizes that Evil Soul Master is at the level of Titled Douluo, which is equivalent to the combat power of Super Douluo level."
"Their Soul Skill is sinister and weird, often with additional effects such as corrosion, curses, and soul attacks. It cannot be dealt with simply by having high attack power."
"Although you are a bit special, your Soul Ring is all about strengthening your own attack power. In terms of pure attack output, it can even rival Titled Douluo. It is even more powerful when combined with your field."
"But when facing Evil Soul Master level Titled Douluo, you must be careful and careful. Their methods are often not from the front, but from the side, in your blind spot."
He paused and looked directly into Ji Juechen's eyes. "If you find that the field is restrained, or the opponent's methods prevent you from getting close, then run away, the faster the better. Don't be brave, don't think about fighting to the death, your life is more important than the immediate victory or defeat."
"What about you?"
Ji Juechen asked back, his tone still calm, but the hand holding Sword hilt quietly tightened a bit.
What would Lu Ren do if he was really in danger?
"I don't need to be afraid at all." Lu Ren smiled, and the smile looked particularly calm under Moonlight, even with a bit of arrogant self-confidence, "I am not just saying that I am invincible at the same level. To be able to threaten my life now, at least it must be Super Douluo level."
"Ordinary Titled Douluo, even Evil Soul Master, can only be suppressed by me in front of me, so what you have to worry about is not me, but yourself."
At this time, Ice Empress in Sea of Consciousness interjected, with some rare caution. "Do you need my help? Although those disgusting guys are a little dirty, you have to admit that they are really strong in combat."
"Even the three brothers Evil Soul Master we dealt with before are only at level Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, but their combined combat power is equivalent to that of level 92 to 93 Titled Douluo."
"Ji Juechen may not be able to handle this situation alone."
Lu Ren asked in Sea of Consciousness: "Ice Empress, do you know why Ji Juechen's cultivation speed does not increase slower than mine?"
"Is it because he is sacrificing his life to change his cultivation level?" Ice Empress is so smart, he immediately understood what Lu Ren meant.
Ji Juechen never relies on drugs or external forces. Every breakthrough is made on the blade between life and death.
Find a stronger opponent than yourself, get beaten black and blue, and then get up and find a stronger opponent.
"Yes, if I blindly rely on others, rely on you, rely on Snow Empress, rely on Zhang Peng, rely on Du Busi, then my cultivation speed will never be much faster."
"I need to experience a lot of actual combat, and then improve myself in actual combat. My strength does not become stronger out of thin air. I also need to be polished, tempered, and pushed to the limit in combat before I can evolve."
Lu Ren was resolute, with a pure and almost paranoid fighting spirit burning in those clear eyes.
"I can indeed rely on the power of you and Snow Empress to get rid of Holy Spirit Cult, but this is rubbish thinking!"
"You won't be able to go far if you rely on others to fight your way out.
"I will rely on my own strength to get rid of all Holy Spirit Cult!"
"Very good, a man with great ambition. People like you, even in our Soul Beast world, are still the top predators."
Ice Empress's tone was filled with unabashed satisfaction and pride.
"As expected of the person I like, since you want to fight so much, I won't interfere. But I'll say it first, if you are going to be beaten to death, I will still forcefully attack you. Soul Spirit Contract is not just going to let you die casually."
Lu Ren stopped talking to Ice Empress and refocused all his attention on the road in front of him.
Just as they passed through a low bush and were about to enter an abandoned building ruins, suddenly, a black mist descended from the sky above their heads without warning, as if someone had poured a pot of ink in the sky, and the black mist rolled towards their location.
The black mist spread extremely fast, covering all Moonlight within a radius of several hundred meters in an instant.
Lu Ren's perception is so sharp that he stopped at the same moment when the black fog appeared, and at the same time raised his hand to signal Ji Juechen to stop. "Someone is coming."
"It's a powerful enemy."
Ji Juechen held Sword hilt tightly, and a burning fighting spirit suddenly ignited in those always cold eyes.
He was not intimidated by the strength of his enemies. On the contrary, the existence that he could call a "powerful enemy" was his most desired prey.
The next second, a burst of strange laughter sounded from the depths of the black fog. The laughter was hoarse and harsh, like two pieces of rusty iron sheets rubbing against each other, or like countless insects flapping their wings at the same time.
"Jiejiejiejie----I thought it was the powerful Soul Master, but it turned out to be two little guys."
"One Soul Saint and one Soul Emperor. These days, even such a young boy dares to invade our territory?"
The unpleasant hoarse voice came from all directions at the same time, making it impossible to determine the exact location of the speaker.
Two black shadows appeared on the ruins less than fifty meters away from Lu Ren and Ji Juechen.
The black robes they wore blended in with the night, and even the surrounding black mist seemed to spread from under their robes.
Immediately afterwards, a large amount of black mist shrouded in a ring shape from all directions, like a giant upside-down bowl, completely surrounding Lu Ren and Ji Juechen.
The two black figures stood condescendingly on the ruins, looking down at them eagerly, as if they were sizing up the two corpses that had already been obtained.
The black shadow that spoke before lit up with Soul Ring, two yellow, two purple, five black, nine Soul Ring shining strangely in the dark night.
Another dark figure that remained silent from beginning to end, the Soul Ring Configuration on his body is even more powerful, with one yellow, three purple, and five black.
Although the age of First Soul Ring is a little lower, the quality of the following eight Soul Ring far exceeds the former.
They are all at the Titled Douluo level, and the aura emanating from them is full of eerie smell, which makes the surrounding vegetation begin to wither and turn black.
"Evil Soul Master?"
Lu Ren was a little surprised.
He was not surprised to meet Evil Soul Master. This was Holy Spirit Cult's territory, so it was normal for him to meet Evil Soul Master.
But I was surprised that the other party would actually come to me.
According to common sense, Holy Spirit Cult, who killed so many people by Lu Ren, should have stepped up vigilance in this area. When seeing the strange Soul Master, he should have raised an alarm as soon as possible.
However, these two people took the initiative to intercept, which shows that they have absolute confidence in their own strength, or that they do not think that these two "little guys" in front of them can pose any threat.
"Little guy, isn't it a little late to realize this now?"
The man in black who spoke before was mocking and slowly flew towards Lu Ren.
Behind him, a black light and shadow slowly enlarged. At first, the light and shadow looked like a vague outline of a skull. Only when it really grew bigger could the whole picture be seen clearly.
It was a pale human face, no male or female could be distinguished, and the facial features were distorted and blurred, as if they had been deliberately torn apart and put back together again by some force.
There were countless disgusting black maggots crawling slowly on the face, and the movement of each maggot caused subtle changes in the expression on the face.
The entire face is suspended behind the man in black, like a living shield, and like a living creature ready to devour prey at any time.
The other man in black never said a word from beginning to end and was as silent as a sculpture.
But behind him, a light also lit up. This light was dark green, like swamp gas emerging from a rotting swamp.
The light condensed behind him into a giant centipede with a single eye on its forehead. The centipede's body slowly swung in the air, and countless thin feet made a creepy rustling sound in the air.
The one eye is closed, but even if it is closed, you can still feel the terrifying power contained in it.
Lu Ren's eyes swept over the two people's Martial Soul, and the corresponding names in the original work quickly came to mind. "Are you Masked Douluo and Heavenly Centipede Douluo?"
He remembered very clearly that among Holy Spirit Cult Eight Great Elders, the seventh elder Masked Douluo was good at spiritual attacks, but his frontal combat effectiveness was relatively weak.
And Heavenly Centipede Douluo is the leader of the Xishui Alliance, and Nangong Wan is the second elder of Holy Spirit Cult.
"Oh, I didn't expect you, a little kid, to know our names?"
Masked Douluo Jiejie sneered a few times, and a look of surprise appeared on his thin face.
Although the name of Elder Holy Spirit Cult has been circulated among high-level Soul Master in mainland China, ordinary Soul Master have no way of knowing it.
The young man in front of him, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, actually recognized the two of them at a glance, which was very unusual in itself.
"Since you know our names, you must also know our methods."
"It just so happens that I am currently investigating who is massacring our Holy Spirit Cult people. There are dozens of strongholds and hundreds of followers. If you say no, they will be gone."
"If you know something, tell it honestly now."
He paused, and the maggots on his face distorted as his emotions changed. The maggots wriggled faster, as if expressing their owner's impatience.
Masked Douluo's tone became even more sinister. "I won't say anything more, come with us, otherwise, I will let you taste the taste of having your soul devoured by me, Demon Maggot."
"I will let it devour your soul from soul to soul. That taste, tsk tsk, you don't want to experience it yourself."
"Masked Douluo is left to you, Lao Ji." Lu Ren ignored Masked Douluo's threat and directly communicated with Ji Juechen using Spiritual Power voice transmission.
"This guy's frontal combat effectiveness is relatively weak, but his Demon Maggot is good at Spiritual Power attacks. It is fatal to ordinary Soul Master, but it is the least threatening to you."
"Your Sword Intent itself is the product of the fusion of Spiritual Power and Soul Power. It is naturally resistant to erosion on the spiritual level."
"You can effectively contain him. You don't need to kill him, just hold him back."
"I will take care of Heavenly Centipede Douluo as quickly as possible and then come to support you."
"Understood." Ji Juechen's answer was concise to the extreme, but his eyes burning with fighting spirit had already proven everything.
Silver-White Long Sword slowly unsheathed it, and the sword edge reflected a cold light under Moonlight.
He didn't ask any unnecessary questions, he just unconditionally trusted Lu Ren and pulled out his sword, then pointed the blade at the man in black with Vengeful Spirit Mask suspended behind him.
This is Ji Juechen. For him, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, what matters is that there is an opponent.
"Okay, let's go together!" Lu Ren shouted in a low voice.
Crimson The blood instantly overturned the entire land.
Lu Ren's eyes turned red, the blood all over his body was boiling, and Flowing Red Scale's amplification was fully activated in his body.
The blood rushes faster in the blood vessels, the frequency of the heartbeat is accurately adjusted to the most suitable rhythm for fighting, and every inch of muscle is infused with far more strength than usual at this moment.
The ground beneath his feet was covered and spread with endless blood, and the sticky blood spread out in all directions like a living red carpet.
The blood made a corrosive sound the moment it touched the black mist. The black mist and the blood light eroded and fought against each other, intertwining a strange dark red mist in the air.
The moment he put his hands together and stretched out his fingertips, a blood-colored beam of light suddenly shot out of the air.
Piercing Blood!
The bloody beam tore through the air with a harsh sound, ignoring the numerous obstacles of the black mist along the way. It penetrated through the layers of poisonous mist like a red-hot steel needle piercing carrion, and went straight to the Heavenly Centipede Douluo Nanguan Bowl not far away.
The speed of the beam is extremely fast, and the initial speed can reach the speed of sound. Although it will attenuate as the distance increases, it is almost instantaneous within such a short distance.
"Soul Emperor, how dare you do anything in front of me?"
Heavenly Centipede Douluo Nangong Wan was silent the whole time, and now he finally spoke. His voice was cold and dry, without any emotion, like a whisper from the grave.
Facing the bloody beam of light that could tear apart ordinary Soul Saint's defense, he did not dodge, or even move half a step. The dark green Soul Power around him instantly surged, and the huge one-eyed Heavenly Centipede phantom behind him suddenly came to life.
The tightly closed one eye slowly opened a slit, and a dark green light seeped out from the slit.
Man Heavenly Centipede The centipede dances with its thin legs, and each tiny foot emits extremely corrosive dark poisonous mist.
The poisonous mist quickly condensed into a rotating dark green shield in front of him. The surface of the shield was densely covered with countless tiny centipede scales, each of which secreted poison that could corrode Soul Power.
The moment Piercing Blood hit the poisonous fog shield, the blood-red beam collided violently with the dark green poisonous fog, making a harsh hissing sound.
The beam melted inch by inch in the poisonous mist, and the poisonous mist was also peeled off layer by layer by the impact of the beam.
In the end, the bloody beam completely dissipated in the poisonous mist, leaving only a shallow pit on the surface of the shield.
Nangong Wan's poisonous fog shield has re-closed and is intact as before.
Just when he was about to mock the opponent for his strength, he suddenly found that Lu Ren had arrived in front of him, raised his fist, and black lightning condensed in his fist.
Nan Guanwan's expression changed drastically. Just when he was about to use Soul Skill to counterattack, he saw Cursed Seal appearing on both sides of Lu Ren's mouth, shouting at him, "Don't move!"
Nan Guanwan was restrained for 0.5 seconds, and then Lu Ren punched Black Flash directly in the face.
