"Blood Infant Douluo? You can't still be alive!"
The elder's anguished shout instantly sparked panic among the Spirit Hall soul masters, save for the elite Annihilation Squad. All eyes were on the sky, filled with shock and fear.
Though many did not know who Blood Infant Douluo was, they understood that anyone with a title was a Title Douluo—a pinnacle existence in the soul master world!
"Blood Infant Douluo?"
In mid-air, Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow. Why didn't he recall such a character in the original storyline?
Beside him, Hu Liena looked extremely solemn. She glanced at Zhou Chen and explained hesitantly, "According to records, Blood Infant Douluo's martial soul is extraordinarily peculiar, requiring him to consume the brains and hearts of infants to cultivate. Thousands of infants have perished at his hands."
"Our Spirit Hall has pursued him multiple times, suffering heavy casualties each time. Six years ago, our second consecration, Golden Crocodile Douluo, personally hunted him down and finally killed him outside Star Luo City. How can he still be alive?"
"Six years ago..."
Hearing this, Zhou Chen furrowed his brow, sensing something was off.
Meanwhile, the shadow known as Blood Infant Douluo spoke in a raspy voice that echoed across the sky: "I haven't walked this continent for ages, yet people still remember me."
Lowering his crimson eyes, Blood Infant Douluo gazed indifferently at the Soul Douluo elder on the ground, surprised, "I remember you—your martial soul is the Lightning Falcon. You were among those who hunted me back then. It's unexpected that a mere Soul Emperor like you could rise to become a Soul Douluo above level 80."
At this, the Soul Douluo elder trembled, a flicker of fear passing through his cloudy eyes as if recalling something terrifying.
Sensing that fear, Blood Infant Douluo chuckled wickedly, "Thanks to the precious blood of your Spirit Hall's hundreds of soul masters, my power has grown!"
As his words fell, nine soul rings—purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black, black—spread beneath Blood Infant Douluo's feet, shocking everyone into silence!
"His first soul ring is a purple thousand-year ring?"
Zhou Chen, usually calm, was genuinely taken aback this time.
Hu Liena whispered, "Blood Infant Douluo mastered a secret art to increase his soul rings' age by consuming human blood. Decades ago, during Spirit Hall's first raid, his first and second soul rings were merely white ten-year rings."
"Damn!"
Zhou Chen was genuinely stunned—Blood Infant Douluo was basically a cheat character!
"To thank you, today, I shall feast on your blood!"
As Blood Infant Douluo spoke, his sixth soul ring suddenly glowed, unleashing a purplish-red blood mist that enveloped all the soul masters within hundreds of meters on the ground!
Sixth Soul Skill—Stygian Blood Explosion!
In the next moment, the blood within the Spirit Hall soul masters started boiling!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, any soul master below level 40 exploded like fireworks, blood and flesh scattering, turning the entire street into a river of blood!
This massacre instantaneously reduced the Spirit Hall's forces by a third.
Most were horrified as they stared at the sky—the methods of this Blood Infant Douluo were comparable to the infamous Poison Douluo known for mass destruction.
"All soul masters below level 60, retreat from the battlefield! Withdraw!"
Loldeira, who had been silent, shouted fiercely!
In the next moment, eight soul rings rose around him, a golden light bursting forth. A pair of golden wings sprouted from his back, enveloping his entire form in the illusion of a giant golden eagle!
Seventh Soul Skill—Martial Soul Avatar!
"All Annihilation Squad members, attack!"
With a roar, Loldeira soared into the air, charging at Blood Infant Douluo!
Alongside him, the other two Soul Douluos also unleashed their martial soul avatars!
Lightning Falcon Avatar!
Blood Axe Avatar!
On the ground, the eleven remaining Soul Saints of the Annihilation Squad, who were not injured or killed, also activated their martial soul avatars, launching themselves at Blood Infant Douluo in the sky!
Facing the combined assault of three Soul Douluos and eleven Soul Saints, Blood Infant Douluo's expression remained unchanged. He coldly declared, "Third Soul Skill—Blood Sea Shield!"
Before he finished speaking, the blood of the Spirit Hall soul masters flowing on the ground transformed into blood pillars. These pillars converged around Blood Infant Douluo, solidifying into a spherical blood shield several meters thick!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The combined power of the fourteen strong attackers surpassed that of an ordinary Title Douluo, instantly shattering the blood sphere.
Yet, within the sphere, Blood Infant Douluo was nowhere to be seen!
"Not good, it's his fifth soul skill, Blood Escape! Be careful, form a defensive formation!"
The elder with the Lightning Falcon martial soul, who had once participated in the siege against Blood Infant, exclaimed in alarm!
However, as he spoke, Blood Infant Douluo suddenly appeared behind a Soul Saint, stabbing with his sharp fingers!
"Boom!"
In an instant, the Soul Saint's chest was pierced, his heart crushed in Blood Infant Douluo's hand!
Simultaneously, Blood Infant Douluo's second soul ring glowed brilliantly. He lifted his other hand, targeting another Soul Saint rushing to help, and clenched his fist.
Second Soul Skill—Scarlet Reaper!
"Boom!"
With the clenching motion, the targeted Soul Saint's body exploded, blood spraying everywhere!
In a blink, two Soul Saints had fallen, inciting the Annihilation Squad's warriors to grind their teeth in fury.
"Kill!!"
The elder with the Lightning Falcon martial soul let out a sorrowful cry, transforming into a streak of blue lightning, crashing into the slightly overconfident Blood Infant Douluo at an unavoidable speed!
Eighth Soul Skill—Mutual Destruction!
Of course, the elder wouldn't truly die. Using this technique, he would only lose all his soul rings and be unable to use soul skills for three days.
Blood Infant Douluo, struck by the attack, had his chest caved in, spitting out a large mouthful of blood along with a slick lump of flesh!
It was his lung!
Seeing him severely injured, Loldeira and the others wasted no time, launching a barrage of soul skills at Blood Infant Douluo!
"Boom—"
The soul skill explosions, comparable to heavenly thunder, lit up the skies over Silvis City like daylight.
Even from a kilometer away, Zhou Chen and Hu Liena could feel the scorching heat!
"That Blood Infant should be dead, right?"
Hu Liena asked, uncertain.
But no sooner had she spoken than a whooshing sound heralded a blood-red figure hurtling towards them!
Chasing closely behind the blood-red figure were Loldeira and the Annihilation Squad members!
This blood-red figure was unmistakably Blood Infant Douluo!
"Not good, run!"
Zhou Chen hadn't expected the Annihilation Squad to be so ineffective, unable to stop a single Title Douluo. Seeing the blood shadow approaching, he quickly prepared to flee with Hu Liena on his sword.
Almost simultaneously, the heavily injured and fleeing Blood Infant Douluo noticed Zhou Chen and Hu Liena.
Especially seeing the purple book-shaped badge on Hu Liena's chest.
That was the Purple Record Medal, awarded only to the most outstanding young talents of the Spirit Hall!
This was a big catch! Capturing her would surely make the pursuing Spirit Hall forces hesitate!
Blood Infant Douluo was overjoyed, transforming into a blood light to block Zhou Chen and Hu Liena's path in an instant!
"Trying to escape? Not so fast!"
Blood Infant Douluo laughed maniacally, reaching out to grab Hu Liena without restraint!
Facing a Title Douluo's attack, Hu Liena was filled with extreme dread. Instinctively, she reached out, intending to push Zhou Chen away.
After all, the elder's target was her, and she didn't want to implicate her beloved.
However, Zhou Chen immediately saw through Hu Liena's intentions.
His nose tingled with emotion as he tightened his embrace around her, whispering into her ear, "I promised that since you saved my life back then, I would protect you for life!"
With that, Zhou Chen extended his other hand, forming a seal with one hand to unleash the strongest technique he could use without backlash!
"Imperial Seal Technique, Second Form—Sea Turning!"
