Chapter 111: Killing the Five
After discovering that the tiny golden needle-like arrows on the ground around him were area-of-effect soul skills released from the air by the enemy, Xia Liang stopped escaping and turned to look at the sky.
With his clairvoyance, he immediately saw the man in white and the young boy flying in the air.
Before escaping using space teleportation, Xia Liang had already seen the depth of soul power in the bodies of the five uninvited guests.
All five of them are powerful warriors above the Soul King level, and two of them have even reached the realm of Soul Emperor.
If we could escape safely, nothing would happen.
But if these five people insist on tracking me, I will let them die without a burial place.
This is Death Canyon. With no one witnessing the murder, if the murderer were killed, burned the bodies and then devoured their souls, who would be able to find the murderer?
Ever since he entered the Death Canyon to practice, whether it was because he stayed in a dangerous environment for too long, or because he devoured several undead to increase his cultivation, Xia Liang's style of doing things has become much more sinister and vicious, and his attitude has become more resolute.
Once you think you have a chance to kill your opponent, if you can't escape, then kill them.
Solving the problem is much easier and more direct than finding a way to solve it.
At this time, the man in white and the young man fell from the sky, and they intentionally fell on the path that Xia Liang had to take to escape.
The young man shot a golden arrow into the sky. The golden arrow that soared into the sky exploded like fireworks in the sky, looking like a flare.
The man in white retracted the ten thousand year soul bone in his left leg, and this action was seen by Xia Liang who turned around to face him.
"You're not running away?" the man in white said coldly. "You can use that teleportation skill again to leave. I want to see if your soul power can support you to teleport over such a long distance frequently."
"Your tracking ability is quite good. You were able to find me even though I ran five miles away."
As he spoke, Xia Liang looked at the golden bow in the boy's hand and asked tentatively, "That bow spirit seems to be a little different from ordinary bow and arrow spirits. Is it actually a tracking aid spirit?"
"We are all elite spirit masters trained by the Spirit Hall. Our spirit abilities must be different from ordinary people in some way."
The man in white said calmly, "Brother, let's not talk about this. Why did you run away just now? Did you dig out some treasure from the body of the Death Demon Spider?"
Xia Liang did not reply. With the attitude of using courtesy before force, he took out the elder's order from the silver bracelet and handed it over.
The man in white had excellent eyesight and recognized the token immediately. When he saw Xia Liang turn the token over, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
"Are you Elder Thorny Porpoise's man?"
After hearing what the man in white said, the handsome man next to him was stunned. How could he have thought that the guy who stole his Death Spider Soul Ring was so powerful?
Just at this moment, the three companions of the man in white suddenly arrived.
The heavily made-up woman was looking for something in Xia Liang's hand. When she found that there was nothing she wanted to see, she gritted her teeth unwillingly.
"Lao Gao, have you found out anything?" The burly man named Brother Mo asked the man in white who was standing in front of Xia Liang.
The man in white shook his head. "I don't dare to check. He has the elder's order in his hand. It seems that he has some relationship with the Thorny Porpoise Elder."
"Oh?" The burly man looked at Xia Liang in surprise. "Excuse me, brother, who are you to Elder Thorny Turtle? My grandfather is the Demon Bear Douluo, one of the nine elders of the Spirit Hall. With a spirit power of level ninety-five, Elder Thorny Turtle is still my elder. I have never heard that Elder Thorny Turtle has a grandson or apprentice like you."
"I am not the grandson or disciple of Elder Thorny Pig. He just gave me this elder's order and asked me to come to Death Canyon for training. If you still recognize this elder's order, please make way. It is not appropriate to investigate someone who is related to the elder."
As he spoke, Xia Liang put the elder's order into his silver bracelet.
Seeing this, the heavily made-up woman's eyes lit up, and she pointed at the silver bracelet on Xia Liang's left hand and shouted, "Brother Mo, check him. If the Death Demon Spider just now really has a soul bone, then he must be hiding in the bracelet soul guide!"
Hearing the word soul bone again, the burly man and his three companions remembered that the Death Spider just now had at least 20,000 years of cultivation. If a soul bone exploded, it must be a 20,000-year soul bone.
A thousand-year soul bone can cause a fight between the two forces, let alone ten thousand years?
Even though his grandfather, Demon Bear Douluo, did not have a single soul bone, how could the burly man be willing to give up the opportunity to get a ten thousand year soul bone?
"Brother Mo, why are you hesitating? Among the nine elders, your grandfather has the highest soul power except for the two elders Juegui."
The heavily made-up woman looked at Xia Liang greedily and said disdainfully, "The Thorny Porpoise Elder is just a lowly elder among the elders. Don't you dare to provoke him?"
"That's true." The burly man looked at Xia Liang with a suddenly unfriendly look, "Boy. In this world, the strong are respected. Even if Elder Thorny Pig was here, he would have to obey my grandfather's body search. Not to mention you."
"That Death Demon Spider was originally our prey. If you really did reveal the soul bone, then giving it back to us would be considered returning it to its original owner, right?"
"The soul beasts in the Death Canyon are all ownerless. Although you fought the Death Demon Spider first, you also let it run away. If it encounters me again, it will be my prey. I killed it and the soul bone exploded, so why do you say it is yours?"
Seeing that he couldn't avoid this trouble, Xia Liang simply gave up hiding and took out the left arm bone of the Death Spider from the silver bracelet.
Taking out this soul bone means that one has to do everything thoroughly later. Not killing the person to silence him will only bring more trouble.
The reason why Xia Liang hesitated to take action just now was because he used his clairvoyance to see traces of soul masters within a few hundred meters. If a fight broke out, it would definitely attract bystanders.
Now all the soul masters within a radius of hundreds of meters have gone far away, and the soul saint sent by Thorny Porpoise Douluo to secretly monitor and protect him was also thrown away during the space transmission just now. As long as they can end the battle quickly and escape from the original place, no one will notice that someone is killing or being killed.
Seeing Xia Liang take out the left arm bone of the human-faced demon spider, the other four people, including the burly man, were stunned.
"There really is a soul bone!" The heavily made-up woman glared at Xia Liang and shouted, "You bastard, that soul bone is ours. Give it back!"
"Fifth sister is right." The burly man said coldly, "Take it, boy, this is not yours!"
"If you want soul bones, you can kill me, but after you do that, I will let you see your own brains."
Hearing Xia Liang's words, the heavily made-up woman glanced at the burly man and said viciously, "Brother Mo, how despicable is he? This is Death Canyon, and it's normal for people to die. Since he wants to die, why not help him?"
The third soul ring on his body lit up, and Xia Liang suddenly appeared behind the heavily made-up woman. Before anyone could react, his elbow had already hit the heavily made-up woman's face like a hammer.
After receiving Xia Liang's elbow, the heavily made-up woman's facial muscles suddenly deformed. The horrible impact force caused her to fly backwards, and she hit a big tree hard before falling to the ground.
The burly man five meters away just reacted and immediately possessed the magic bear martial spirit.
At this moment, the left palm bone attached to the bone dragon was released, and Xia Liang's left hand turned into a black dragon claw and grabbed forward, actually grabbing the burly man's neck and his entire body tightly in his hand as if he was taking objects from the air.
At the same time, the bone dragon's left palm bone skill, Bone Dragon Stab, was activated, and a sharp black bone pierced out from Xia Liang's left palm.
All I heard was a puffing sound.
The sharp black bone pierced through the burly man's neck, and blood bloomed behind his neck like fireworks.
This series of attacks was completed in an instant. When the burly man reacted, he found that he was inexplicably grabbed by the neck before he could activate his martial spirit. When he was about to break free, he was suddenly stabbed to death by a black bone.
Under the erosion of the dark attributes of the bone dragon's spikes, the burly man's skeleton and flesh quickly collapsed, and he was reduced to ashes in the grasp of Xia Liang's left palm.
Seeing his boss being crushed to dust, the tall and thin man standing nearby couldn't help but look horrified. He subconsciously took two steps back, but suddenly the huge metacarpal bone of the skeleton's right arm grabbed his body.
The black flame condensed from fire energy and dark attributes suddenly exploded and burned at the metacarpal bone.
The tall and thin man's body was first crushed by the huge metacarpal bones, and then burned to ashes by the explosion of black flames.
In just less than thirty seconds, a Soul Emperor and a Soul King were killed before they could even react, and their bodies were destroyed.
Seeing this scene, the handsome man in the distance also fell into fear. A five-member team composed entirely of strong men above the Soul King level was killed by a four-ring Soul Sect. This was a result he had not expected.
"He actually has a 10,000-year fourth soul ring?"
The handsome man then discovered that the flashing soul rings on Xia Liang's body were a configuration of two yellow, one purple and one black.
"Calm down, Ah Xin. I am a level 63 Soul Emperor, and you are a level 60 Quasi-Soul Emperor. We both have ten thousand year soul rings, and our soul power is more than ten levels higher than your opponent's. Are you still afraid that you can't win? You use the golden arrows to assist me. I want to kill him!"
After giving instructions to the young man, the man in white activated his fifth soul skill, and the surrounding wind vortex transformed into two wind blades in his hands.
He rushed forward with the wind, and his whole body crashed into Xia Liang like a bluish-white crescent wind blade. The surrounding trees were cut into pieces and disintegrated by the wild and violent wind flow.
The flying skill of Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone was activated, and Xia Liang flew into the sky to avoid the sudden wind blade attack from the man in white.
At the same time, his body was enveloped in the ossified Susanoo half-skeleton form.
Under the control of his mind, the right hand of the skeletal Susanoo drew out a black and purple Tenfist sword from behind, and a flame energy lightsaber quickly chopped down towards the man in white.
The moment the man in white raised his head, the black and purple Ten-Fist Sword had already chopped down on his head.
Bang, boom, boom.
The huge flame energy sword split the ground into a fifteen-meter crack, and the man in white was shattered to pieces by this blow.
His soul was sealed in his spine by the Ten-Fist Sword, leaving only a ten-thousand-year-old left leg bone on the cracked ground.
A golden arrow with paralysis and tracking effects suddenly shot into the ribs of the ossified Susanoo, but was instantly shattered into powder and dissipated.
Xia Liang looked in the direction where the golden arrow came from, and what caught his eye was a handsome man who was still drawing the bow.
Another golden arrow shot out from the golden bow martial spirit of the young boy, heading straight for the boned skull of Susanoo.
A similar scene appeared again. No matter where the golden arrow hit the skeletal Susanoo, it would be shattered instantly.
Of course you have to fight back after being hit. In mid-air, Xia Liang controlled the skeletal Susanoo's left hand and raised it forward. A huge black and purple Susanoo bow appeared at the wrist.
The skeletal Susanoo's right hand made a bow-drawing motion, and an arrow burning with black flames had already condensed on the Susanoo bow.
Seeing this scene, the young man who was also drawing the bow couldn't help but frown. Just as he was about to shoot the golden arrow, he was pierced through the body by the huge black and purple arrow shot from the Susanoo bow.
When the young man reacted, his face was full of horror. He found that he had been pierced through the ground by a huge black and purple arrow. His body was gradually burned by the black flames and turned into ashes. His consciousness and soul had been sucked into the mouth of a black and purple skull.
After devouring the souls of the handsome man and the others, Xia Liang found that his soul power directly broke through from level 49 to level 50, and his undead power was improved.
After coming into contact with the skeletal Susanoo, Xia Liang flew to the ground. He used the telekinetic effect of the left metacarpal bone attached to the bone dragon to grab the rings, bracelets and other items scattered around him in his hand.
These items are the storage soul guides of the young man and the others. As the elites trained by the Spirit Hall, their soul guides must contain a lot of cultivation resources.
In addition to the soul guide, Xia Liang found that the item in his left hand also had a ten thousand year old left leg bone. This should have exploded from the man in white, and the additional skills were related to the wind attribute.
After stuffing the soul guide he obtained into his clothes and putting the ten thousand year old left leg bone and the Death Spider's left arm bone into a silver bracelet, Xia Liang walked towards a big tree.
At this time, the heavily made-up woman who was elbowed was leaning against a big tree with a look of horror on her face. She witnessed the whole process of Xia Liang crushing her teammates to ashes. The fear in her heart was fully displayed on her somewhat deformed face.
"No. Don't kill me—"
Seeing Xia Liang approaching while being covered by the bone-like Susanoo, the heavily made-up woman leaned back desperately, her voice completely trembling as she spoke, "You, you have killed so many people, you will definitely be discovered, and then you will not be able to escape death!"
"This is Death Canyon, and it's normal for people to die. You are indeed dead, but you were killed by the soul beasts here. How can I, a four-ring soul master, have the strength to wipe out your three soul kings and two soul emperors?"
As he spoke, Xia Liang controlled the skeletal Susanoo and raised his huge right arm and punched down. The heavily made-up woman was smashed into the ground in fear, and scarlet blood splattered from the ground.
As black flames burned, the shattered body of the heavily made-up woman was burned to ashes.
And her soul was devoured by the Undead Skeleton Martial Spirit.
After carefully observing the surroundings with his X-ray vision and finding no trace of any corpses or hidden bystanders, Xia Liang evacuated the spot and rushed towards the entrance of Death Canyon.
He also had another concern. If the burly man was the grandson of Demon Bear Douluo, then he wondered if there would be any strong men of the same clan secretly protecting him when he came to the Death Canyon for training.
I just used my clairvoyance to check, and at least I didn't find any soul masters hiding in the dark within this area of several hundred meters.
