The Mist Grand Canyon is an extremely mysterious place, shrouded in mist of unknown origin year-round, making it impossible to distinguish between reality and danger. This has made it a chaotic place, devoid of order and morality, where the law of the jungle prevails. It is one of the most dangerous locations in the Douluo Continent. Although no Soul Beast ever roam here, most of the Soul Master who travel here are those who have broken the law and cannot survive on the mainland, thus choosing to come to the Mist Grand Canyon to save their lives.
Jun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing had been in the Mist Grand Canyon for about half a month. In this short period of time, no fewer than 10 villains had died at Jun Yi's hands. Zhu Zhuqing also completed one of the things she had to do in her Soul Master career here: kill.
Jun Yi remembered that after Zhu Zhuqing killed someone for the first time, she vomited immediately and didn't eat anything for two whole days. Every night she would be awakened by nightmares, with bloody and brutal scenes appearing before her eyes. Recalling those screams and splattered blood, she always felt uncomfortable all over and restless. Jun Yi stayed by her side, comforting and guiding her. After all, killing was something a Soul Master had to go through, and killing these vicious people could alleviate the guilt Zhu Zhuqing felt from her first murder.
However, with Jun Yi's comforting words, Zhu Zhuqing quickly cheered up on the third day and began to face everything seriously.
"Wow, I'm incredibly lucky today! I've run into such a gem!"
Just as Jun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing were walking into the canyon, a lewd voice suddenly rang out.
The two turned around and saw a short, middle-aged man with an extremely sleazy appearance. He was only about 1.5 meters tall, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, and really looked like a monkey.
He took a deep breath, then revealed Evil expression again, saying, "Ah~ It's the scent of a virgin! I haven't smelled anything like it in years! Little girl, come here, today I'll show you just how pleasurable the affairs of men and women can be."
He completely ignored Jun Yi's presence. As he spoke, his eyes began to scan Zhu Zhuqing, from her cold and beautiful face to her extremely full breasts, and then her long, slender legs in black stockings. Faced with such a beauty, the lewd man couldn't help but drool.
The next second, the lewd middle-aged man was decapitated. The biting cold air enveloped his head and body, which had flown into the sky, forming an ice sculpture. Then, a figure flashed by and instantly turned the entire corpse into a pile of ice shards, disappearing completely.
Zhu Zhuqing retracted her icy blue claws, which radiated a chilling aura, turned to Jun Yi, and said, " Big Brother Jun, let's continue."
"Hmm." Zhu Zhuqing said as she came to Jun Yi's side and took his hand.
" Zhu Zhuqing, you're getting more and more adept at killing people."
Zhu Zhuqing's movements were fluid and seamless. First, she used her claws to decapitate the body, then released cold air to Ice Seal the corpse, preventing its blood from splattering everywhere, and finally pulverized it. The whole set of actions was completed in one go, and even Jun Yi couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
" Big Brother Jun. I would have no qualms about killing such a lecherous scoundrel who tries to cover up his slip of the tongue," Zhu Zhuqing replied.
"Are you sure you won't be returning to the Spirit Hall Academy for the next two years? Have you thought this through? I'll be staying in this Mist Grand Canyon for the next two years, and we're sure to encounter many dangers here," Jun Yi asked Zhu Zhuqing again.
"It's decided. I'll be training diligently with Big Brother Jun for the next two weeks. Life at the academy is too comfortable. I feel I've grown a lot in just half a month here. As for danger, I'm never afraid. To me, as long as I can become stronger, every danger is an opportunity. Besides, with Big Brother Jun around, I won't be in any fatal danger. I've already written to my teacher and told him that I'll be with Big Brother Jun for the next two years," Zhu Zhuqing replied firmly.
"I'm afraid I'm the one in the greatest danger," Jun Yi said softly.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't hear clearly and asked, " Big Brother Jun, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, let's keep going. The Mist Grand Canyon is so big, I don't know if we can even finish exploring it in two years," Jun Yi said, changing the subject.
"It should be difficult. But with Big Brother Jun here, it doesn't matter where we go." Zhu Zhuqing smiled slightly and said to Jun Yi.
The two crossed another canyon and had just arrived in a forest when they heard the sounds of battle coming from not far away. Jun Yi used his Observation Haki to sense the situation, but unexpectedly, he discovered two familiar faces.
"It's Yan and Xie Yue! They're training in the Mist Grand Canyon? Where's Hu Liena? Why didn't she come?"
Jun Yi increased the output of his Divine Power and sensed all the auras within a ten-mile radius, but found no trace of Hu Liena.
"Isn't this plot a bit off? I remember it was the three of them training together in the Mist Grand Canyon, how come there are only the two of them? Did I remember wrong?" Jun Yi asked curiously.
Zhu Zhuqing also noticed the sounds of battle. She turned to Jun Yi and said, " Big Brother Jun, there's a fight ahead. Let's take a detour."
"I'm afraid it's not going to work. Among the people fighting there, there are two we know: Xie Yue and Yan." Jun Yi explained to Zhu Zhuqing. Now that Zhu Zhuqing is Chrysanthemum Douluo's disciple, she is also a classmate of Xie Yue and Yan, so she should lend a hand.
"It's them! Big Brother Jun, let's lend them a hand." Upon hearing that the two were classmates from the Spirit Hall Academy, Zhu Zhuqing decided to go and help.
"Um."
On the other side, Yan and Xie Yue were fighting two Soul Master whose bodies were filled with a blood-red aura of slaughter, and they were gradually losing ground.
"Heh heh, someone actually dared to come looking for us to die, you two brats are really bold." One of the tall, thin old men mocked.
"Yes, I was just worried about not having any food, and you two delivered yourselves to my doorstep. Who gave you the courage to provoke us?" another short, stout Soul Master mocked.
"Hmph, Evil Soul Master are a scourge to the continent, and everyone has the right to kill them. As members of the Spirit Hall, we naturally have to do what we should do and exterminate the Evil Soul Master!"
Flames surged from Yan's body, his eyes were icy cold, and he stared sharply at the two Evil Soul Master before him, exuding an incomparably strong fighting spirit and murderous aura...
