Electrolux had finally reached the limit of his patience.
Myriad Souls Douluo, meanwhile, initially thought Electrolux was merely making excuses to swallow everything for himself.
After all, that sort of thing happened often enough within the Holy Spirit Cult.
So he put on an understanding look, glanced at Electrolux, and spoke lightly.
"Your Eminence, you're being a little too greedy. You can take a portion, but I still need to leave the rest to report back to the Holy Cult..."
Before he could finish, Electrolux suddenly struck.
The Authority over the Undead abruptly gathered.
The invisible Blood Curse fell directly upon Myriad Souls Douluo. A dark red mark sank beneath the surface of his Soul Power, amplifying any damage he suffered afterward.
A vast barrage of Withering Spells, carrying the breath of deathly stillness, poured out.
Myriad Souls Douluo's face drained of color. No matter how stupid he was, he realized Electrolux was trying to kill him. But he couldn't understand why Electrolux had displayed a Soul Skill without releasing any Soul Rings.
He had no time to dwell on it and could only curse.
"Damn it, are you trying to make an enemy of the Holy Cult?"
"At worst, I can just give you all these resentful souls."
He raised his right hand, and nine Soul Rings suddenly lit up around him: two yellow, two purple, and five black. A great flag as black as ink appeared in his hand.
The great flag was black from pole to fabric. Countless purple-black wronged souls could faintly be seen flickering across it.
The resentful spirits within the Myriad Souls Banner were dying.
They roared and howled with resentment.
Myriad Souls Douluo also tried to suppress the Blood Curse and Withering Spell eating away at him, only to find that he couldn't suppress them at all.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao could only say that Myriad Souls Douluo before him was truly a Crouching Dragon and a Fledgling Phoenix.
The rewards kept stacking up, continuing to spur Electrolux on.
"Find a way to remove them, or I'll kill you today!"
Feeling his life force rapidly draining away, Myriad Souls Douluo could no longer care about anything else.
His Seventh Soul Ring shone, and his body abruptly turned illusory.
He swung his right hand downward, and the Myriad Souls Banner landed on the ground. Then it swelled in the wind, growing even larger.
Myriad Souls Douluo turned into a mass of intense red light and merged into the Myriad Souls Banner.
A low whimper sounded, gusts of sinister wind swept through the air, and the entire Soul Tool position went completely dark.
A chilling presence mixed with the shrill screams of countless resentful spirits echoed through the air.
All emotion vanished from Electrolux's eyes.
One Soul Whip struck, nearly lashing even Myriad Souls Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar apart.
Myriad Souls Douluo panicked completely. He finally realized the difference in their strength was plain to see; even if he fought with his life on the line, he could do little. Although the Withering Spell was devouring his life force, he could at least stay alive for now. If he remained, he would die without a doubt.
So, gritting his teeth, Myriad Souls Douluo's body suddenly seemed to explode.
The resentful spirits of several Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, each at least thirty thousand years old, lunged straight at Electrolux.
The strongest among them had reached seventy thousand years and was none other than Myriad Souls Douluo's bonded beast spirit.
If this beast spirit died, the damage to him would be considerable.
But Myriad Souls Douluo couldn't care about that now. He had to run and stay alive first.
So he controlled the beast spirits, sending them not at Electrolux, but at Huo Yuhao first.
Immediately afterward, he began burning his essence blood madly and fled upward for his life.
Electrolux raised a hand and blocked all the resentful souls.
"Soul-Sealing Array!"
The strange array abruptly imprisoned all the beast spirits.
Then he took Huo Yuhao and gave chase.
Myriad Souls Douluo, meanwhile, was cursing nonstop.
His eyes were filled with lingering fear. Damn it, how had Electrolux become so powerful?
He still couldn't understand why Electrolux had attacked him, but he could no longer concern himself with that and could only run for his life.
But halfway through his escape, Myriad Souls Douluo's face went deathly pale.
Besides Electrolux, who was pursuing him and about to catch up, two Super Douluo stood right in front of him.
What was more, Myriad Souls Douluo knew them both. They were from Shrek Academy.
"So you really are an Evil Soul Master?"
The two were none other than Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er.
After the incident at the Duke's Mansion, the most terrifying part was the death of the Titled Douluo Cheng Gang. He had been a Guardian Douluo, and not only was his death an unacceptable loss for the Star Luo Empire.
They also immediately realized that the attacker might have been an Evil Soul Master at the Super Douluo level.
So they hurriedly discussed the matter with Shrek Academy.
After learning that such a powerful Super Douluo Evil Soul Master had appeared.
Shrek Inner Court ultimately decided to send Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er to lead a team directly to the Star Luo Empire.
"Then die."
Xian Lin'er's fiery temper made her instinctively prepare to strike, but Yan Shaozhe shook his head.
"Lin'er, calm down. Something isn't right. This fellow is already at the end of his rope, and his life force is still draining away. Given his strength, he couldn't possibly have dealt with a Titled Douluo in such a short time."
Meanwhile, aside from Yan Shaozhe, the captain leading the team on this mission was Zhang Lexuan, and the group included Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and others.
After all, such a powerful Evil Soul Master would very likely have subordinates and the like. It was also for the inner court disciples' tears, so naturally they had followed Zhang Lexuan to the Star Luo Empire.
According to the information gathered in the investigation, something seemed amiss in this mountain range. Star Luo Empire patrol soldiers had disappeared here, and combined with the sudden appearance of that Super Douluo Evil Soul Master, there was reason to suspect this was his base.
So they had planned to investigate the area first.
They ran straight into Myriad Souls Douluo instead. Just as Xian Lin'er paused in her preparations to attack, Electrolux suddenly arrived with Huo Yuhao.
For a moment, the situation seemed awkward. At the same time, Xian Lin'er recognized Electrolux, who was wanted by the Star Luo Empire, as well as Huo Yuhao.
"So it really is you!"
Huo Yuhao and Electrolux, meanwhile, were only briefly stunned. They hadn't expected to run into people from Shrek Academy here.
The situation now seemed somewhat delicate.
Yan Shaozhe also sensed that something was wrong. Electrolux seemed to be chasing Myriad Souls Douluo. What was going on? Were the Evil Soul Masters fighting among themselves?
Myriad Souls Douluo had thought himself at a dead end, but when he remembered that Electrolux was also a wanted Evil Soul Master, he felt as though a new village had appeared beyond the willow shade and blooming flowers.
He seemed to catch on in an instant. After racking his brains, he felt he had come up with a flawless plan.
So, even as his life force drained away madly, Myriad Souls Douluo looked at Electrolux, gritted his teeth, and spoke respectfully.
"My lord, I won't dare covet that pile of resentful spirits again. Please forgive me. With a formidable enemy before us, let us deal with the present crisis first."
