Chapter 158 The messenger of death and the corpse explosion
The Star Luo Empire is the country with the largest territory among the three empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent. It is located in the southeast of the continent. The east and south are coastal areas, while the northwest is dominated by mountains.
Xingyue City is located in a valley surrounded by mountains, backed by the steep Mingdou Mountains.
The terrain in the valley is relatively gentle, and as far as the eye can see, there are many villages and small towns, guarding the towering Xingyue City like stars over the moon.
In terms of scale, Xingyue City is definitely not comparable to Shrek City, but it is not as backward as imagined.
Soul guide street lamps are dotted on the wide official road leading to Xingyue City, and the soft lights and starlight complement each other. From time to time, villagers from nearby villages fill their carts with goods and enter Xingyue City with satisfied smiles on their faces.
.
Ma Xiaotao asked Dai Yueheng in surprise: "Dai Yueheng, I didn't expect that your Star Luo Empire still has such a peaceful city at the junction with the Sun and Moon Empire."
As they walked slowly along, everyone basically calmed down. Ma Xiaotao looked at the villagers passing by with great interest.
Dai Yueheng held his head high and his chest high, with a trace of pride in his eyes.
"With the Western Group Army of our Star Luo Empire stationed at the border, it is a matter of course that public security is stable. Our Star Luo Empire has always been the most powerful country on our side of the Douluo Continent."
The Douluo Continent that Dai Yueheng refers to does not include the Sun and Moon Empire. The people from the three empires of the Douluo Continent all have the same concept. People from the Sun and Moon Empire have always been regarded as aliens. Although Douluo Continent and
More than four thousand years have passed since the collision of the Sun and Moon Continent, and the title of the Sun and Moon Continent no longer exists. It was renamed Douluo Continent, but they are still incompatible with each other.
"It's good that your Star Luo Empire is strong, but it's far behind our Heavenly Soul Empire in terms of soul master talents." Chen Zifeng on the side also added with a smile.
"Not to mention, among the fourteen people in our main team and reserve team, most of them are from our Tianhun Empire."
"Xiao Tao, I, Gong Yangmo, Xixi, Tianhuang, Beibei, Ning Tian, by the way, I remember Wang Dong, you are also from the Tianhun Empire, right?"
Wang Dong, who was following the crowd silently, relaxed his stiff body a little. When he heard Chen Zifeng's words, he was off guard and his spirit immediately became tense again.
"Ah? Hmm."
After thinking about Chen Zifeng's question in a panic, he nodded as if relieved.
Xu Zihuang had a lot of thoughts in his heart. Why wasn't Wang Dong the same? And he was not as calm as Xu Zihuang.
Chen Zifeng didn't notice Wang Dong's strange behavior and continued with a smile.
"Look, I know more than half of them alone."
The expression on Dai Yueheng's face was a little helpless.
"There's nothing we can do about it. In terms of the heritage of the soul masters, our Star Luo Empire can't compare to your Heavenly Soul Empire. When the reputation of the seven major sects spread throughout the continent ten thousand years ago, the top three sects at that time were all now
Within the territory of the Tianhun Empire."
But what Dai Yueheng didn't know was that in Xu Zihuang's reserve team, in addition to Beibei and Ning Tian on the surface, Xu Zihuang and Wang Dong were also descendants of the Shangsan Sect at that time.
Xu Sanshi came from another ancient sect in the Douling Empire, and He Caitou had the royal blood of the Sun and Moon Empire. Jiang Nannan was the only one who could truly be called a commoner.
Among the regular team members, no one is from a commoner background.
In Douluo Continent, in this overall environment where martial arts determine the future, such a situation is inevitable.
"It would be great if Junior Jade was from our Star Luo Empire." Dai Yueheng sighed from the bottom of his heart.
At this point, he stopped talking. Of course he could see that Yu Tianhuang was highly valued by Mr. Xuan. If he continued to talk, he would be suspected of poaching in front of Shrek Academy.
Although in his heart he really longed to win Yu Tianhuang into their family.
Xu Zihuang smiled without saying a word and followed everyone towards Xingyue City.
After all, Xingyue City is a city on the border. Strict checks are required to enter the city, especially for foreign soul masters like them. However, with Dai Yueheng, the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, coming forward, everything was easily solved.
Perhaps because of the natural barrier of the Mingdou Mountains, Xingyue City is considered quite prosperous among those border cities. After all, it does not directly border the Sun and Moon Empire. Even if there is a war, if the Sun and Moon Empire is not completely
It is also difficult to capture the Mingdou Mountains here.
Everyone blended into the crowd and entered Xingyue City without attracting too many people's attention.
Wang Yan took Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yaoheng to find out the news. The others went to the Xingyue Hotel in the center of the city to rest temporarily.
Everyone was given a separate room, and even a very spacious conference room was reserved.
After a day of traveling and being tortured by Mr. Xuan for more than two hours, even if everyone was a strong soul master, they would inevitably feel a little tired.
Xu Zihuang had just taken a hot bath and dried his hair with soul power when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Please come in." Xu Zihuang said while using his soul power to dry his hair.
The door opened and Beibei stuck his head through the crack of the door and reminded.
"Tianhuang, Teacher Wang Yan and the others are back. Let us go to the conference room immediately."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Xu Zihuang responded, put on a pair of clean clothes, and followed Beibei.
There is an oval table in the spacious conference room. Wang Yan is sitting at the main seat. Sitting at the front left is Ma Xiaotao. Below her are Dai Yueheng and other inner courtyard disciples.
On the right is the position of the reserve team. Right now, only Beibei and Xu Zihuang are not here.
Beibei and Xu Zihuang sat in the first and second seats on the right, one behind the other.
Wang Yan faced everyone and said seriously: "Xiao Tao, Dai Yueheng, I and I just got the news. Just this morning, a large caravan entered the Xingyue Grand Canyon. According to the normal speed of travel, it should be deep into Mingdou.
Mountains. If the Death Messenger bandit group wants to take action, this caravan will be a very suitable target. After everyone has dinner and rests for an hour, they will set off to enter the Mingdou Mountains. If you have any objections, you can raise them now
Come out, if not, disband first. Try to adjust your condition to the best before you can go into the mountains and fight."
Everyone looked solemn, but no one raised any objection.
For the disciples in the inner courtyard, this kind of task is commonplace. Beibei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou and Xu Zihuang are better off. They have stronger mental endurance and can accept this kind of thing faster.
The expressions of Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong changed for a while, but Ning Tian, who was an auxiliary soul master, acted much calmer than the two of them.
An hour of meditation made everyone's fatigue disappear.
Time was running out, and it was not far away from the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. After a simple dinner, they set off immediately.
The entrance of the Xingyue Grand Canyon was not far from Xingyue City, and everyone had previously obtained a detailed map of the Mingdou Mountains, and quickly rushed along the Xingyue Grand Canyon towards the depths of the Mingdou Mountains.
"Dai Yaoheng, Chen Zifeng and I will clear the way in front, with a distance of ten meters. Xixi, you and Jiang Nannan will go to the front to survey the nearby situation. The control system and auxiliary system will be in the back. Yu Tianhuang, you and Ling Luochen will be in charge."
After seeing Xu Zihuang's powerful restricted soul skills, Ma Xiaotao recruited him without any ceremony.
"Understood, Senior Sister Xiaotao." Xu Zihuang responded readily and came to the center of the main selection team members.
Next to him was Ling Luochen, who was also a control soul master. Ling Luochen did not question Ma Xiaotao's arrangements.
Because Yu Tianhuang is strong enough.
"Okay, let's go!" Ma Xiaotao nodded with satisfaction.
The regular team members were in front, followed by Wang Yan and the reserve team members, moving quickly through the Xingyue Grand Canyon.
The Mingdou Mountains are a complex mountain and forest area as a whole, but the naturally formed Xingyue Grand Canyon is relatively flat. The width of the canyon is about fifty meters, the ground is full of gravel, and there are steep mountains on both sides.
wall.
People can't help but marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature. Although the Xingyue Grand Canyon does not run horizontally through the Mingdou Mountains, once a war breaks out between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire, it will definitely be the front line of the war.
Figures passed by one after another, and the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded and echoed in the canyon.
Because they needed to deal with emergencies at all times, they certainly could not rush as hard as they did during the day, but kept moving forward at a constant speed. At such a speed, even the reserve team and others would not find it difficult with their cultivation level.
At this time, everyone changed into the equipment of Shrek's supervisor.
Located in the center of the crowd, Xu Zihuang's eyes have quietly turned into bright gold. With the Golden Child Martial Spirit, darkness cannot affect his vision at all.
Relying on the martial soul instinct of Golden Boy's dynamic vision, he was even able to clearly capture the figures of Xixi and Jiang Nannan in front of him. The two of them turned into afterimages and quickly shuttled between the mountains.
The end of the Xingyue Grand Canyon. This is also the depth of the Mingdou Mountains.
The night is deep, the dark clouds are moving with the wind, and the stars and silver moon in the sky are blooming softly again. The surrounding mountains seem to be covered with a layer of silver gauze.
However, this original hazy beauty was broken by the blood-stained corpses on the ground.
The carriage tipped over, and various goods were scattered on the floor, mixed with the blood of the stumps.
The pungent smell of blood rose into the sky. At least nearly three hundred bandits were having a carnival here, searching for money and various supplies. Cheers and screams came one after another. They completely lost their humanity.
The infiltrating scene in front of me was chilling.
A thin figure looked down at his subordinates on a cliff. He was the leader of the Death Messenger bandit group.
The skeleton-like face was extremely strange, with only a skin covering the face, and a pair of eyes that glowed with pale green light and were full of madness.
And at this moment, a fiery red figure flashed past from the other end of the Star-Moon Grand Canyon. The next moment, it appeared in the center of the group of bandits like a flaming meteor.
Two yellow, two purple, and two black, the six soul rings on his body shone brightly under the light of the flames. The person coming was none other than Ma Xiaotao, who was rushing over.
Xixi's martial spirit in the main team had a very keen sense of smell and smelled a strong smell of blood from a long distance away. After learning the news, Ma Xiaotao rushed over at full speed alone, but it was still too late.
"Bastard!" Ma Xiaotao's pink eyes turned vaguely into the golden red of the phoenix flame, and she shouted angrily.
Among the six soul rings that were beating around her, the second and third soul rings shone at the same time. Intense golden-red flames erupted from her body like a blowout.
The wings of golden-red flames stirred behind her, and the few bandits closest to her who had not yet reacted instantly turned into corpses.
"Who dares to go against this messenger?!" The messenger of death let out a sharp roar, frightened and angry.
Seeing the six soul rings next to Ma Xiaotao, his child shrank suddenly, but he didn't show much fear.
"Come together! Kill her for this envoy and make her a corpse slave."
The bandits' eyes were red, as if they had lost their minds, and they rushed towards Ma Xiaotao. There were actually quite a few soul masters among them, and there were three soul kings alone.
On the other side, Xu Zihuang and others also arrived. The main team members reacted immediately, each released their martial souls and joined the battle. The one who rushed at the front was Dai Yueheng, his face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water.
Those who were brutally killed were all his compatriots. As the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, the idea he had been instilled in him since he was a child was to protect the people of the Star Luo Empire.
As for the reserve team, Xu Zihuang, Beibei, Caitou, and Xu Sanshi were fine, but the faces of the others turned pale.
"Ah!" Jiang Nannan couldn't help but let out a scream, and her delicate body trembled violently. Wang Dong's performance was even worse than Jiang Nannan's, and he kept retching.
Although Ning Tian's face was ugly, he still remained calm.
As the leading teacher, Wang Yan must play a guiding role at this time.
"Everyone, cheer up, let's join the fight! These are heinous people, and no one can be spared!" Wang Yan shouted, causing the nervous Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong to feel their hearts tremble.
Beibei, who had always been elegant, had anger in his eyes and shouted to the people around him.
"Sanshi, we are coming too. Caitou, you use the soul guide to suppress fire. Tianhuang, you and Ning Tian look for opportunities to assist us."
After saying that, Beibei released his blue electric Tyrannosaurus Rex martial spirit and followed behind Wang Yan. Xu Sanshi and He Caitou did not dare to neglect and strode into the battle circle.
Xu Zihuang watched the situation in the battle circle with an expression of indifference. To outsiders, it seemed to outsiders that he was just because of the anger in his heart, but in fact, he had been thinking about how to act next.
Beibei's words gave him enough reason to watch the battle from the sidelines.
He actually doesn't care that much about the life and death of the regular team members, but if he can make them owe him a huge favor, he is still willing to do it.
In the battle circle, the soul rings shone brightly. Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, who exploded with all their strength, showed terrifying personal strength. They almost went on a rampage, with no one enemy in sight. Chen Zifeng and Xixi could also take care of a large area.
Ling Luochen's all-round control of the ice blue cold current also played a huge role in such group battles. Gong Yangmo and Yao Haoxuan beside her each used their own skills to assist everyone.
Shrek's inner court disciples, when facing opponents who generally only have second and third rings, are completely dimensionally reduced.
Wang Yan, Beibei and others, who are the latest to join the battle circle, are also unstoppable.
Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, who had calmed down, also used their soul skills to assist everyone.
The bodies keep accumulating.
Just as Xu Zihuang expected, the corpses on the ground were growing larger and turning red at an alarming rate.
"careful!"
Xu Zihuang shouted anxiously, and the second and third soul rings around him lit up almost at the same time.
"Boom, boom, boom,..."
And at this moment, a violent roar sounded. The terrifying explosion sent countless flesh and blood flying everywhere. It lasted for several seconds before it returned to calm.
