Lord of Souls

The soul world is in danger.

As the old saying goes, once you enter the soul world, you can't help yourself.

The danger, on the one hand, lies in the strong men in the soul world - it is not surprising that these strong men can do anything if they are interested.

On the other hand, there are the omnipresent soul beasts in the soul world.

The soul beast is the soul master's partner, but only under the prerequisite of establishing a soul contract.

Most of the wild spirit beasts retain their bestial nature, and are cruel and bloodthirsty. The law of the jungle is their true reflection.

Outside the battlefield, in the dense forest.

Led by two top masters, the competition team went deep into the dense forest.

The atmosphere along the way was a bit depressing.

Anton rambled on, and seemed to want to persuade the two teachers to take them back to the city to fight, but what he received was the blank stares from the teachers.

Fight?

At your level, on the battlefield of a full-scale war, you don't even know how you died... but you still go back to fight? Funny?

Not to mention that these people present are all super geniuses of the new generation, the young talents chosen by the Chinese nation.

Maybe, there is a future legend in this.

The two teachers were not from the Bing University. Although the fighting spirit was boiling in their hearts, they suppressed it and made protecting these children their first priority.

Until in the distance, a rustling sound suddenly sounded.

Everyone was stunned.

Then he saw a vine whip swinging suddenly and hitting a teacher directly.

The teacher didn't even have time to activate the virtualization. He was whipped far away on the spot, with blood coming from his mouth and nose!

The voice came from another teacher!

"Killer vine! Master-level killer vine!"

The next second, the light of the soul realm suddenly opened!

The injured teacher reluctantly got up from the ground. While opening the soul realm to summon his soul pet, he shouted to Yongxuan and others: "Hide here!"

On the other hand, I sighed secretly in my heart that I was unlucky...

Kaifeng City goes to war with the Five Kingdoms, and the battlefield is huge!

As soon as the surrounding soul beasts sense the outbreak of a distant war, they will inevitably stay away from the battlefield as soon as possible - it is the instinct of creatures to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

But there are always some soul beasts that are either unwilling to move or have no ability to move at all...

Killer Vine is the kind that doesn't have much mobility.

I thought it was relatively safe in the forest...

The head of the clinker bag hit the killer vine.

It’s still a master-level killer vine!

When he saw his colleagues restraining the killer vine and the students hiding behind him, the teacher just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked around worriedly.

"Forget about a murderous vine... I'm just afraid that the aftermath of the battle will attract the troops of the Five Kingdoms, which will be troublesome."

…

After walking out of Shi Feng's ruins, Xia Lin and Tian Qingqing arrived near Huangcheng.

In the distance is the majestic city wall of the deserted city.

From time to time, troops were dispatched inside the city gate, marching towards Kaifeng City.

The teleportation point of Shifeng Ruins was quite inconspicuous and was not discovered by the surrounding enemies.

After simply observing the surroundings, Xia Lin couldn't help but frown.

"Let's hide in the ruins and wait until the fight is over before we go back. Come to think of it, China's chances of winning are pretty good..."

After Xia Lin said this, she saw Tian Qingqing shake her head.

"I chose to return to China not for the purpose, but for the means. The real purpose is to help my brother-in-law look after the house."

So she goes to war.

Even if she is just a silver stage soul master...

This made Xia Lin sigh deeply.

It's not difficult to find one thing - Tian Qingqing is a little confused.

"Okay, you have the final say."

"But our lives are important. Is there any objection to this?"

Tian Qingqing nodded: "I still want to stay useful and see my brother-in-law again. I will cherish my life very much."

"So you want to hide?"

"No, go back and join the war."

Xia Lin curled her lips.

"Alright."

The two quietly left the teleportation point and headed towards the place where Kaoru City is located along the inaccessible place.

Enter the woods and climb into the mountains. After all, the army is obviously more terrifying than the wild spirit beasts.

But they found that 99% of the soul beasts in the mountains and forests had been frightened away by the army.

This saves Xia Lin and Tian Qingqing trouble.

The two began to speed up, and after about an hour, they arrived not far from the battlefield.

…

Half an hour ago.

The two master instructors did not have much entanglement with the killer vine.

The life core of this thing is buried deep underground. Although it has no mobility, it is really difficult to kill.

After two simple moves, they got rid of the murderous vine. The two instructors took the students and changed directions and continued walking into the forest.

Not long after, a mentor stopped and took out a leaf from the space ring.

Putting the leaf in the palm of your hand, everyone can see that the leaf is trembling slightly, and the veins are faintly pointing in a certain direction.

The instructor explained: "This is the positioning method left by Teacher Wang Tiansheng. Through the vein pointing and the trembling frequency of the leaves, you can locate the opponent's position."

"Judging from the current situation, someone should be coming to pick us up..."

After saying this, the instructor glanced at Yongxuan vaguely.

All I can say is that I understand everything.

Therefore, the plan was changed.

"If we don't continue to go deeper, we will wait where we are and wait for the response staff to join us."

The instructor didn't know why Kaituo City sent people to pick them up.

For Yongxuan is certain, but more specific details, such as whether to take them back or send more manpower to ensure the safety of the students, are all unknown.

Waiting where you are has become an unmistakable choice.

About ten minutes later, the grass and trees whirled in the distance.

The two masters, along with Gu Yunfeng and his party, appeared in front of the competition team.

…

Four masters and more than twenty students.

In the dense forest, the four masters communicated quickly.

"There is an order from above to take you home. Mainly Yongxuan."

The mentor of the original competition team nodded, but asked doubtfully: "How should we cross the war zone?"

"After approaching the war zone, send a signal and Legend will take action to open the passage."

"Understood."

After nodding, the instructor turned to look at the others and said loudly.

"Go home now and act immediately."

But unexpectedly, he heard a sound coming from farther away.

The sound was weird, like two steel plates rubbing together.

"It seems like I caught a big fish..."

As the sound rang out, dense footsteps came out of the forest.

Hundreds of soul masters wearing clothes woven from leaves, with their exposed skin covered with strange tattoos, appeared in front of everyone.

This scene made the instructors frown sharply.

This kind of dress is the folk dress of Linling City-the people on the opposite side are the people of Linling City...that is, the enemy.

And just the next second.

As the light of the soul realm of Lin Ling City State's soul master opened, the hearts of the four instructors suddenly sank to the bottom.

Dark green light.

Represents king-level strength!

…

Hong Wu summoned his soul pet and looked at the alien people opposite him with a smile.

Chosen ability: Plant communication, the conversation just now was completely transmitted to Hong Wu's ears through the plants.

By the way, the reason why he came to the door so punctually had something to do with the murderous vine just now.

Looking at the stern-faced young man in the crowd, Hong Wu's smile grew wider.

This time, he caught a big fish!

A legend from another world, the grandson of Golden Dragon Yonghui, Yongxuan!

Linling City-State and Kaoru City have nothing to do with each other...but as a subordinate, since the city-state leader said he wanted to fight, he had no choice but to fight!

Before the war started, Gulong City State had handed over the appearance of the Four Legends of China to all the soul masters above the master level.

Legend, unattainable.

But legends are also human beings, and they have weaknesses!

After thinking about it, he had captured the grandson of Legend. Not to mention inciting rebellion against Legend, it was still possible to let Legend restrain his hands and feet.

No matter how bad it is, the disgusting legend opposite is still good.

Seven-headed soul pets appeared next to Hong Wu one after another.

When he saw the four masters on the opposite side summoning their soul pets and blocking him in front of him, while the young people, led by a tall young man, turned their heads and evacuated to the rear, Hong Wu smiled.

"Useless struggle!"

"Children, catch that kid and leave no one behind!"

As the voice fell, various soul lights flashed one after another!

…

Tactics are communicated in just a split second.

The moment Hong Wu opened the soul realm, the four instructors completed the communication with Gu Yunfeng.

The mentors resisted the king, and Gu Yunfeng led the others to evacuate quickly.

Turn back and run.

The soul light opens and summons the soul beast!

Behind him, the waves of the battle flashed by in an instant!

With the strength of the four masters, it is not impossible to compete with or even defeat the king - after all, the king at the top is also a king, and the king without the soul pet of the king is also a king.

Fire, frost, and life energy exploded one after another.

The fierce wind made Gu Yunfeng's clothes rustle.

However, as countless figures jumped out from the jungle on both sides like wild monkeys, Gu Yunfeng's brows instantly tightened.

The king of Linling City State led his army.

At the moment when the first king and the four masters were fighting, this group of military soul masters, whose main pet was Chashan Yuan (high extraordinary level), had already surrounded him on both sides in advance, preparing for a pincer attack!

The number of people was not large - about a hundred people.

But it is an elite force - a small force with a king-level strongman as its leader. It is obviously not weak.

Based on the color of the soul light, Gu Yunfeng could tell that there were at least two masters among the enemy. There were nearly ten diamonds, and most of the rest were gold!

"It's over."

Such thoughts just flashed through Gu Yunfeng's mind.

A scream suddenly came from the side.

However, they saw two masters of their own side breaking away from the king's battle circle and rushing over with all their pets, one on the left and the other on the right, blocking the incoming pursuers.

That Hong Wu's strength is not that of a top king.

But he is not a king who does not even have a king's favorite.

The four mentors work together and spend some time to most likely defeat Hong Wu, but the competition team is obviously more important.

The two weaker mentors no longer target Hong Wu.

Instead, escort the competing teams.

This instantly improves the situation!

The surrounding enemies quickly decreased, and they ran nearly ten kilometers away in a short period of time. Among the enemies still behind them, there was only one Diamond and more than a dozen golden-stage soul masters.

However, the strength is different, and the strength of the legs is also different.

Without the restraints of the mentors, the distance between the two parties quickly shortened.

Lift your head and look ahead.

Estimating the distance, Gu Yunfeng slowly gritted his teeth.

‘We are still dozens of kilometers away from the agreed upon location. ’

‘There are enemies chasing us behind us. With so many people, we are bound to not reach the target location. ’

‘Abandoning some Bronze Stage Soul Masters… and going into battle lightly? ’

‘Probably, it might work. ’

'but……'

All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind.

Gu Yunfeng took a deep breath.

"Yongxuan? Who is Yongxuan!?"

"I."

"This is a signal flare. Go in this direction for another 53 kilometers, then light the flare, and the two legends will clear the way for you."

"Don't worry about anything else! Remember?"

Yongxuan actually didn't quite understand the meaning of these words.

Of course he understood the superficial meaning.

These people were sending themselves and others back to Kaoru City.

What he doesn't understand is the significance of his group of people returning to Kaoru City at this moment...

After all, in his opinion, the significance of his group of children is definitely not as significant as opening up the city.

Of course, Yongxuan didn't know that in Yonghui's eyes, one Yongxuan was more meaningful than the entire country of China put together - after all, Yonghui, the patriarch, really didn't know how to express his feelings for Yongxuan in words. of respect and love.

Thoughts were lingering in his mind, but Yongxuan was not good at expressing them. He just put away the flare and saw Gu Yunfeng turning his head again and looking at the students in the student union.

"Everyone in the student union, stop immediately and turn around with me!"

As soon as the voice fell, the two-headed velociraptor came to an emergency stop and stopped the car instantly...

The long-established prestige in the student union made Jiang Ji and others instinctively obey Gu Yunfeng's orders.

It wasn't until everyone stopped that they realized that the thirteen competing members had already run away...

On the opposite side, the twelve enemy soul masters, with their full pets, gradually slowed down.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense...

Until Jiang Ji looked up at Gu Yunfeng in confusion, and said tremblingly: "Boss...this...is this fake?"

"What's real or fake?"

"...that is, this mission..."

"Oh, you said mission."

Gu Yunfeng, who was under the ancient dragon armor, smiled softly and spoke loudly again.

"Now, let me explain this mission."

"Everyone, block the enemies on the other side. Don't let any of them go!"

"Then, fight to the death!"

Everyone behind him was in an uproar.

Among the students in the student union, only Gu Yunfeng is a gold, and opposite him is a diamond! Add a full eleven full pet gold!

The difference in strength is so big that the result can be determined at a glance.

This turned the entire mission into a "death" drama.

Someone yelled angrily on the spot.

"Gu Yunfeng, you are leading us to die!"

"Yes, I am leading you to death."

Gu Yunfeng's gentle voice suppressed the commotion.

The original intention of the mission is not to die.

This is just an extremely dangerous escort mission.

However, the situation unexpectedly occurred and the plan did not change quickly.

Things continued to take a turn for the worse until they reached what they are now.

He turned his head and looked around at everyone, the smile in his tone becoming more obvious.

He said this.

"I entered the freshman year and slept with Hongwu Temple."

"At that time, I was a trainee, but I had already touched the threshold of bronze..."

"I am a genius, but at BSU, I am obviously not talented enough...at least I did not perform well in the 18th National Congress assessment."

"Of course, I became the oppressed party..."

"I still remember that people came to collect protection fees every day."

"Every time I complete a task, I have to pay most of my credits to the student union."

"I fucking hate Bingda! I hate this student union!!"

The atmosphere gradually became silent.

The enemy on the opposite side is gradually approaching.

Several people wanted to cross over from Gu Yunfeng and others to pursue Yongxuan and his party, but they were stopped by Gu Yunfeng's Black Underworld Tyrannosaurus and Blue Eyed Pterosaur.

It was as if he didn't see the two pets who were instantly in dire straits.

Gu Yunfeng continued.

"From that time on, I had this idea."

"If I become the president of the student union... I must change this atmosphere on campus! I must not let future Ice University students suffer such oppression!"

But the subsequent development was completely different from Gu Yunfeng's imagination.

From a dragon slayer, he became a dragon.

"Then do you know why I became the person I hate the most?"

No one spoke.

Until the blue-eyed pterosaur let out its last miserable howl, blood sprayed out and fell to the feet of Gu Yunfeng, completely gone.

Hun Shang made Gu Yunfeng roar.

But soon, he took a deep breath.

"In the past, I had really easy access to the resources in the school."

"Now, I finally have a clear conscience..."

He finally looked at the people behind him who had different expressions.

"The reward for this mission is very generous."

"The reward is your tyranny and unscrupulous behavior in the Ice University in the past few years!"

"Whenever something goes wrong, I will help you settle it all... What do you think it is for!?"

"What do I owe you? What do I owe you?"

"Not at all..."

"I'll tell you another tradition in HSU that only the student council president knows about!"

"Take money and do things! It doesn't matter whether you take the money first or last! After you take the money, when it's time to risk your life, you have to risk your life for me. When it's time to die, don't let me live for one more second! !”

It’s okay to be domineering.

Even if it’s forced!

If you get benefits, you have to take responsibility for me!

There is no such thing as eating without vomiting! ?

He patted his chest gently.

Gu Yunfeng said loudly while driving the two-headed raptor to face the diamond-stage opponent.

"Whoever dares to escape in this wave, I promise, I will spit out all the profit you have eaten in the past few years!!"

"This is my promise!"

"Even if I die, Hongwu Temple will fulfill this promise for me!"

…

The violent energy fluctuations made Xia Lintian Qingqing look sideways.

The place where the energy exploded was not far from Xia Lin and Tian Qingqing's hiding place...

Xia Lin's induction is actually deeper than Tian Qingqing's - because the soul master can locate the precise location of the believer within a certain range.

For example, locate the locations of Anton and Tian Qingqing on Longmen Island.

For another example, now, locate the locations of Yongxuan, Anton, and Longan.

Long An is currently on the front line, and his soul light is a little weak, as if he has consumed too much - but this is not important.

The important thing is that the energy fluctuation just now, which can be said to be at the master level at least, is too close to Anton Yongxuan...

It was so close that Xia Lin stood up and her expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?" Tian Qingqing asked, Xia Lin thought for a moment and said.

"Maybe something happened to the competing team."

"you sure?"

"I'm not sure. But that side is an enemy-occupied area. According to the route, there is a high probability that the competition team will encounter trouble when the war starts there."

"I have to go check it out."

Anton, Xia Lin can't ignore it.

After hearing this, Tian Qingqing also nodded: "I'll go too."

After all, the competing teams were in danger, and the cause was Bai Yu's fault. If we dig deeper, Tian Qingqing is the root cause of this matter.

If it hadn't been for Bai Tianyu and Tian Qingqing had to witness him avenging the Tian family, then the competing team would not have fallen into such a dangerous situation.

The two of them quickly moved towards the place where the energy exploded.

The closer the distance, the stronger the energy fluctuations.

When the distance between the two sides was only about ten kilometers, the aftermath of the battle suddenly subsided.

Xia Lin couldn't help but speed up.

…

The ground was filled with flames and ice.

Weird green energy filled the air, giving the air a smell of rotten vegetation.

Covering their mouths and noses, Xia Lin and Tian Qingqing slowed down. Soon, two familiar corpses came into view.

They are the master mentors of the two competing teams...

Around the two of them, there were corpses of soul pets. From the tragic marks on the corpse, it is not difficult to imagine the intensity of the battle just now.

In addition, there is a more powerful soul beast corpse lying on its back - this is a king-stage soul beast.

This situation made Tian Qingqing and Xia Lin completely silent.

"I remember that one of these two teachers was named Tan Qi and the other was named Master Liu."

When Xia Lin spoke like this, Tian Qingqing hummed softly.

After a moment, there was a sigh.

After Xia Lin briefly collected the corpses of the two teachers, he followed the traces of Anton Yongxuan and rushed towards the direction of Kaifeng City.

…

About three minutes later.

Another battlefield fell into Xia Lin's sight.

That familiar figure made Xia Lin's eyelids jump.

It's Gu Yunfeng.

The uncrowned king in the ice empire has lost all life breath at this moment.

He was lying under a certain big tree, with a ferocious and crazy fighting spirit on his face, but his body was cut open from the waist by a sharp knife, and his intestines and internal organs flowed all over the floor...

The ancient dragon armor has lost its luster.

The huge Black Pluto Tyrannosaurus fell to the other side further away.

And the two-headed raptor, even if it had no life left, still bit the throat of a certain soul master.

The deceased stared, as if he couldn't believe why he, who was clearly in the diamond stage, fell into the hands of a golden stage soul master...

"Cough cough cough..."

Suddenly there was a voice coming from the side.

Xia Lintian Qingqing turned around and saw that further away, on a bloodier battlefield, a man whose scalp had been opened and his brain tissue was exposed was breathing heavily.

The blood had already stained his cheeks red.

But the subtleties on his face still made Xia Lin suddenly startled, and then he hurried to this person's side.

Slowly opening his eyes covered in blood, he made a fist with his right hand and barely punched it out, but Xia Lin held it in his hand.

"I am Xia Lin, not an enemy."

Hearing the familiar voice, the man grinned.

"Cough cough cough... Xia Lin..."

"Ahem, where's the chairman?"

"died."

"Oh... you deserve it! You damn deserve it!"

"That bitch from Gu Yunfeng...ahem, he just brought us to die...I..."

He cursed, and as he coughed and yelled, his exposed brain tissue trembled like tofu... and more blood flowed out.

"Stop talking, I'll take you back..."

"It's... useless..."

"Hunshang...all my pets died in the battle, and I was seriously injured...it's useless..."

"Someone...someone ran away, it was Wu Quanlong...he ran away...that kid is unjust..."

"We... didn't stop... Yongxuan and the others..."

"Xia Lin, I...I miss my mother..."

At the end of the words, his voice was broken and could not even be connected to a clear context.

Until his whole body completely collapsed.

he died.

Jiang Ji is dead.

I can’t explain how I feel.

After giving Jiang Ji a gentle hug, Xia Lin stood up and looked around.

All around, the corpses of student union students and grass-clothed soul masters were densely packed. There was me among you, and you among me.

Farther away, the soul master's reaction to the believers made Xia Lin clearly perceive something.

Anton and Yongxuan stopped.

The energy swayed faintly.

A new battle seems to have begun.

This scene made Tian Qingqing take a deep breath.

She instantly opened the soul realm, summoned her soul pet, and hurried over there without even saying hello.

This woman just said that she cherished her life...

Xia Lin stood silently.

Watching Tian Qingqing leave, Xia Lin's eyes remained unchanged.

Thinking back to everything I just saw...

'King, there is a king on the opposite side. Although the two teachers buried a king-level soul pet, the king's seventh pet, the king-level soul master, still has fighting power...'

‘Master… there must be a master. In the team led by the king, there must be a master... I don't know how many of them, but there must be one. ’

'Diamonds...gold...'

‘There are quite a few people. ’

The more he thought about it, the more Xia Lin got a headache.

And soon, the surging energy not far away interrupted Xia Lin's thinking.

This made Xia Lin's eyes flash, and suddenly a plan came to his mind!

Open the soul realm to recruit four pets.

Xia Lin looked at Jue.

"camouflage!"

The camouflage ability was activated, and soon, Jue transformed into Xia Lin's appearance - exactly the same with no difference at all.

After nodding to Xia Lin, Zetsu, disguised as Xia Lin, rode Hope towards the distant place where the battle started.

Xia Lin looked at Qingmang and Bubai.

“Damn it, this wave, I’m betting!!”

For Anton.

For Tian Qingqing.

Also for the inexplicable touch in my heart.

…

Because the enemy was still 13 kilometers away from the destination, the competing team was blocked.

Hong Wu's face was pale, and even the tattoos on his face could not cover up his paleness.

Looking at the thirteen children surrounded, Hong Wu gently licked the corners of his mouth with a smile on his face. The smile even suppressed the pain of Soul Shang.

The grandson of the legend!

This is not only a battle achievement, but through this legendary grandson, Hong Wu may be able to gain more - at least, it can make up for the king-level soul beast that he died in battle.

"You, follow me."

Hong Wu raised his finger and pointed at Yongxuan.

The two king-stage soul pets and the three-headed master-stage soul pets stationed around him are the guarantee of Hong Wu's confidence!

Not to mention the hundred-man team he brought with him, there are still nearly 70 left, and the two masters are even more intact.

No matter how you look at it, Yongxuan and others are already trapped in a urn, with no way to escape.

Yongxuan turned back and glanced at his companions.

You can see that there is a bit of confusion and more determination in everyone's eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Yongxuan's body suddenly glowed with soul light.

He used all his strength and yelled out one big word: "Hit!"

Anton's fat face twitched, he seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time. He looked ugly, but he still shouted loudly!

"In our country, there are only soul masters who died in battle! There are no soul masters who surrendered!!"

The soul light bloomed suddenly.

Skills, start brewing!

A one-sided battle is about to break out.

In the distance, the figures of Tian Qingqing and Xia Lin are also looming.

Hong Wu's eyes suddenly darkened.

"Save that boy's life, and kill the rest!"

The voice fell.

However, the next second, Hong Wu suddenly raised his head and looked towards the horizon!

Then I saw the colorful divine lights in the sky, lighting up!

"Wait... stop it all!"
