Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Before Tang San completed the Nine Tests of Poseidon, there was a great evil existence in the sea - the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

The power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King exceeds that of any soul beast or soul master in the sea. In order to seek shelter, these soul beasts and soul masters will naturally move closer to the Sea God Island, thus providing the Sea God with a constant source of power of faith.

After Tang San obtained the throne of Seagod, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had been killed by him. The threat in the sea was gone, and the sea soul masters and soul beasts would slowly lose their faith in Seagod as time went by.

As the power of faith decreases, Tang San's strength will gradually decline, which is what he doesn't want to see!
So, Tang San naturally turned his gaze to the land.

In the past, land-based soul masters believed in the Spirit Hall (Angel God). After the Spirit Hall was destroyed, there was a gap in faith, and of course Tang San had to fill it.

But after the destruction of the Spirit Hall, the situation on the mainland has become stable.

People only choose to believe in gods when they encounter disasters. Where does faith come from when everyone in the mainland lives and works in peace and contentment?
Then, the evil soul master appeared in Tang San's sight.

He first ignored the evil soul masters' behavior and let them develop freely. If there were righteous people who formed an alliance and wanted to eliminate the evil soul masters, he would intervene to ensure that the evil soul masters would not be extinguished.

When the two continents collided, the evil soul masters on the Sun-Moon Continent began to invade the Douluo Continent, and Tang San's plan went smoothly.

You know, the evil soul masters on the Sun-Moon Continent have a longer heritage than those on the Douluo Continent, and have even formed a unique system.

It's not easy to control such a force.

The further expansion of the scale of evil soul masters will inevitably cause panic among the people on the mainland.

In desperate situations, ordinary people will naturally think of the time when the gods came down to earth to destroy the source of evil - the Sea God Tang San of the Spirit Hall!
In this way, the power of Seagod's faith grew explosively, and Tang San's strength also improved with each passing day.

While gaining a firm foothold in the God Realm, Tang San is also seeking more power. In the more distant future, he will even build Douluo Continent into the back garden of the Tang family.

To him, the residents of Douluo Continent were just a group of pigs that could be harvested at will.

……

Closer to home.

Ning Tianchen lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Zhang Heng just stopped the carriage.

Aoi Hiro said in a deep voice: "Let's go around it quickly before our whereabouts are exposed. Evil spirit masters rarely act alone. They will attack this village, and they must have made careful deployment and scouting in advance."

"Also, there must be a lot of evil soul masters."

"No, when facing an evil soul master, he must be killed!" Ning Rongrong's expression was firm, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

Light and darkness are always in opposition. As the inheritor of the God of Light, she has the obligation to deal with evil soul masters.

Ning Tianchen laughed loudly and agreed, "Rongrong is right. When the fight starts, Xiao Ao and Fatty, you two stay by Rongrong's side, and everyone else, come with me."

Wang Heng didn't think much about it. A long spear appeared in his hand, and five soul rings of yellow, purple and black appeared under his feet.

Cang Jinhong looked at the people rushing out and felt conflicted.

If Ning Tianchen and the others were no match for the evil spirit master, he might have saved his life if he hadn't followed them. But if the evil spirit master was no match for Ning Tianchen and the others, he would have left a bad impression on them if he had fled.

How to choose?
Seeing that he was unmoved, Ning Rongrong could not help but remind him, "I dare to take the initiative to fight against the evil soul master, which proves that we have the strength to defeat these guys. Master Cang, please don't make mistakes."

As he spoke, the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda's martial spirit lit up the entire night sky.

"Jiubao has a mission, February speed!"

With the speed boost, Ning Tianchen and the others moved at an incredibly fast speed and quickly rushed into Hedu Village.

"An auxiliary weapon soul master at the Soul Saint level." Aoi Hiro was shocked.

He knew that it was difficult for auxiliary spirit masters to practice.

Ning Rongrong was able to reach the Soul Saint level at such a young age, so the people around her must be strong.

When Feng Xiaotian and others showed their soul rings, his eyes widened.

"How did they do this?"

……

Hedu Village is like a hell on earth.

All the houses in the village were knocked down, and the wooden and thatched buildings burned fiercely in the flames. The whole village would soon be engulfed by fire.

Amid the flames, cries for help could be faintly heard.

Ning Tianchen did not dare to be careless and quickly made arrangements, "I'll look down at the entire village from a high altitude. Xiaotian, you go and rescue people first."

Zhang Heng took the lead in chasing after the sound, and Feng Xiaotian and others followed behind him.

So far, they don’t know whether there are evil soul masters in the village, so they must act with caution.

Ning Tianchen hovered above the village, relying on his eyesight and mental power to search for the evil soul master while also searching for survivors.

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back.

Without time to think, he quickly dodged to the side and an arrow passed by his shoulder.

Turning around, he noticed that there were more than a dozen soul masters exuding evil auras outside the village.

These people are most likely the evil soul masters who attacked the village.

"Oh, I didn't expect there are still people who like to meddle in other people's business. Brothers and sisters, it seems that our strength can be improved again."

The difference between devouring ordinary people and devouring soul masters is huge.

How could they miss the chance of a soul master coming to their door?

Ning Tianchen had a certain understanding of the battlefield situation.

Feng Xiaotian and others were treating the wounded, and no other evil soul masters were found in the village.

Apart from the dozen or so people in front of him, there was no other sign of anyone else within a few kilometers of the village.

Ning Tianchen took the initiative to step forward and fight with this group of people.

If he was alone, and a dozen evil soul masters fled in all directions, some might slip through the net. Wait for Feng Xiaotian and his men to come to support him, and then catch them all here!
With this in mind, Ning Tianchen deliberately lowered his strength during the battle and fought the leader to a draw.

The leading evil soul master has the strength of a low-level Soul Saint, while the other dozen or so people have strengths ranging from Soul Sect to Soul Emperor.

Theoretically, as long as evil soul masters have enough targets to devour, they can break through multiple levels in a very short period of time.

The cultivation gained through devouring is not affected by talent and the process is easy.

This is why, once an evil soul master has tried to devour the cultivation of others, there is no turning back.

Seeing that the opponent was quite strong, the leading evil soul master laughed and said, "Boy, you are quite strong. I'll give you a chance. If you join us, I can make you the deputy commander. Then, we can pursue a higher realm together."

Ning Tianchen's eyes shone, and he sneered, "Evil soul masters, anyone can kill them!"

The leading evil soul master was named Helim. He laughed loudly, "How ridiculous. How ridiculous. You are strong enough to fight me to a draw, so what? I am not alone."

As they were talking, the other evil soul masters surrounded Ning Tianchen.

Moreover, among them, there is a Soul King-level bow and arrow spirit weapon soul master who is hiding in the distance and ready to shoot arrows at any time.

Ning Tianchen sensed through his mental power that Feng Xiaotian and the others were approaching silently. A smile appeared on his face, "It seems that you don't know that your time is coming."

Helim didn't get angry but laughed instead, "You are still stubborn even when death is imminent. After devouring you, my cultivation level can at least break through three levels. I have to thank you for facilitating my pursuit of a higher realm." "Do it." Ning Tianchen shouted.

Feng Xiaotian and Zhu Zhuqing rushed out from the darkness. The former took care of three low-level evil soul masters in one encounter, while Zhu Zhuqing targeted the evil soul master with a bow and arrow martial soul and killed him instantly using a high-level soul skill.

The rest of the people rushed out from the flanks and surrounded the evil soul masters.

Eight black, black, black, black, red, red, red soul rings appeared under Ning Tianchen's feet. The enormous pressure from the soul rings suppressed these people firmly.

"A hundred thousand year spirit ring." Helim laughed bitterly, resisting the pressure on his body, and scolded: "I admit defeat to the thieves. But you can't even think about getting my spirit power, let alone using my spirit power to increase the age of your spirit rings."

I have never heard of any method to increase the age of spirit rings among evil spirit masters.

What he said was just a guess.

The Killing God Domain was centered on Ning Tianchen's body, enveloping them to ensure that no one could escape.

Zhang Heng held the war spear martial spirit in his hand, and the spear shot out like a dragon, killing an evil soul master at the Soul King level.

Due to the absolute crushing strength, this battle is destined to be a one-sided "massacre".

Helim's words made Zhang Heng doubt the identities of Ning Tianchen and the others. But after careful observation, he did not detect any evil spirit master's aura from them, so he completely dispelled his doubts.

As for the other party's spirit ring configuration, it was the other party's chance, and he had no reason to ask.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Aoi Hiro finally arrived.

Ning Tianchen glanced at him and arranged: "Go to the village and make sure to find all the survivors, and send someone to notify the nearest city lord's mansion."

Aoi Hiro volunteered: "I am relatively familiar with this place. I will contact the city lord here and ask him to send people to protect the refugees."

Ning Tianchen did not refuse.

……

The search for survivors continued until the early morning of the next day.

During this period, Ning Tianchen and others turned almost the entire village upside down, and only stopped after making sure that nothing was missed.

There were six survivors in total, including a child with extensive burns all over his body and a newborn baby.

The other four are elderly people in the village.

When the evil soul master invaded, all the young and middle-aged men in the village fought desperately with him. These old people hid in the cellar of their homes and only escaped.

However, if Ning Tianchen and others did not clear the burning ruins in the cellar, they would be burned to death sooner or later.

At noon, Aoi Hiroshi and a team of soldiers arrived at Hedu Village.

The city near Hedu Village is Wangjiang City, which can only be regarded as a small or medium-sized city within the Crescent Empire.

When the Lord of Wangjiang City heard about the refugees outside the city, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.

Wangjiang City collects only a small amount of tax revenue each year, and the bulk of it has to be handed over to the empire. In addition to maintaining the daily expenses of the City Lord's Mansion and the army, a lot of the remaining money has to be used to honor the governor and other noble officials of the province. How can there be extra money to take care of the refugees?

Pressured by Aoi Hiroshi's strength and the prestige of the Aoi family, the Lord of Wangjiang City sent out a group of his elite men.

If the number of refugees is too large, he will not allow these people to enter the city, but will settle them in other villages nearby.

Anyway, as long as the refugees are resettled, Hiro Aoi and the Aoi family will not cause him any trouble.

Fortunately, there were only six survivors in Hedu Village, including four elderly people. The expenses of bringing them back to Wangjiang City for resettlement were within the affordability of the Lord of Wangjiang City.

After the handover, the sergeant major asked about the evil soul master's situation and then withdrew his troops back to Wangjiang City.

Watching them leave, Chen Huayu frowned, "I always feel that they don't seem to be willing to take the trouble to resettle the refugees."

On the Sun-Moon Continent, cases of evil soul masters massacring villages occur frequently.

For a city lord, this is commonplace.

A city only has so many resources, not to mention that the city lord also gets some from it. In the case of long-term attacks, where do they get the money to rescue refugees outside the city?

Ning Tianchen sighed and said, "The law of the jungle is the main theme of this world. There is only so much we can do. The rest is not something we should worry about."

The evil soul masters are rampant and cannot be eliminated by them alone.

The ruling class on this continent does not take this seriously, and the common people will only live in misery.

……

After taking a brief rest at the ruins of the village, Ning Tianchen and his party set out again.

From the river mouth near Wangjiang City, we took the ferry to the other side. After another two days of sailing, the carriage entered a small town.

Knowing that Ning Tianchen and the others were not clear about the situation in the Demonic Forest, Aoi Hiro introduced the town as they entered it: "This town is located on the outskirts of the Demonic Forest. The entrance to the forest is through the town."

“The meaning of this town’s existence is…”

Before he could finish, Ning Tianchen and others waved their hands and interrupted him.

How could they not know the function of Soul Beast Town?

Aoi Hiro thought for a moment and reminded: "We need to find a guide in the town."

Ning Tianchen asked: "Is there no soul hunting team here?"

The Demon Town is very different from the Soul Beast Town on Douluo Continent.

In Douluo Continent, a soul hunting team is hired to help hunt souls, and the task of leading the way will naturally be undertaken by the soul hunting team.

But it's different here.

The soul hunting team in the evil demon town is only responsible for helping with soul hunting. To put it bluntly, they are pure thugs.

They are not responsible for leading the way, that task is taken care of by someone else.

Ning Tianchen guessed that it was probably because the Demon Forest was too dangerous and the environment inside was too complicated, making it very easy to get lost.

The Soul Hunting Team members risk their lives to make money, they won't just wander around in the forest for nothing.

After Aoi Hiroshi's explanation, they finally understood that the cost of finding a guide was no less than the cost of finding a soul hunting team.

Of course, the Soul Hunting Team’s strength is limited, and they are unable to obtain the soul beasts required for the sixth and seventh soul rings.

Everyone looked at Ning Tianchen.

Helping Zhang Heng and Aoi Hiroshi to hunt souls was just a matter of convenience for them. Their main goal was to go deep into the forest and find the Butterfly Valley.

Ning Tianchen looked at Aoi Hiro, "You two need spirit rings, just find a suitable guide."

Aoi Hiroshi said, "Don't worry, we should bear the expenses."

The price offered by a guide who knows the location of a 30,000-year-old soul beast must be quite high.

The Cang family is definitely the largest family in Binhai City, so they can still afford this amount of money. (End of this chapter)
