Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 253 The Demonic Sword and the Lich

When the three of them arrived in front of the emerald green crystal, the three-eyed tiger was still twisting its body in a retreating posture, which looked quite funny.

"Judging from its size, it's less than 21,000 years old, which is quite suitable. Kill it and absorb its spirit ring!" Wu Xuan took a look at the size of the three-eyed spirit tiger and gave the final conclusion.

"Yeah!" Xiao Xiao nodded, and with a dark golden light on his left palm, he pierced the head of the 20,000-year-old three-eyed spirit tiger with one claw.

As the inky black ten thousand year soul ring rose, Xiao Xiao did not hesitate and immediately sat down cross-legged, summoning the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, and began to fuse the soul ring of the three-eyed spirit tiger with his own.

At this time, the sky was gradually dawning, and the rising light reflected the morning glow on the horizon.

Wu Xuan expertly disassembled the Three-Eyed Spirit Tiger's corpse. Unfortunately, no soul bones were found. However, the crystals within the Three-Eyed Spirit Tiger's brain core were top-tier materials for crafting spiritual defense spirit guides. This was still a considerable income.

After decomposing the entire corpse, Wu Xuan skillfully sat next to Xiao Xiao and began to protect him.

Wang Dong said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect to encounter two ten-thousand-year-old three-eyed spirit tigers in quick succession on the outskirts of this mixed zone. I remember hearing in the Inner Court course that spiritual-attributed spirit beasts like the three-eyed spirit tiger are quite rare. It seems I made the right choice to come with you this time. Top-tier spirit beasts are always hard to come by."

"It's just a coincidence, not as exaggerated as you say." Wu Xuan said lightly.

While not as powerful as the three-headed crimson demon mastiff, the three-eyed spirit tiger was also a quasi-super soul beast. Its innate soul skill was a sonic-type mental attack, something even a three-headed crimson demon mastiff of the same rank wouldn't dare withstand. Aside from its physical form being far inferior to that of soul beasts of the same rank, its other aspects were practically perfect.

Time passes slowly!
A whole morning passed in this manner. As the blazing sun hung high in the sky, spreading warmth and vitality across the Star Dou Great Forest, the spirit ring of the twenty-thousand-year-old three-eyed spirit tiger completely merged into Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron martial spirit. A moment later, Xiao Xiao opened her large, dark green eyes. Instantly, a heavy aura, mingled with a hint of mental pressure, spread out, only to dissipate quickly.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black, five soul rings rose from under his feet, indicating that Xiao Xiao had entered the Soul King level.

"Congratulations, Xiaoxiao," Wang Dong said with some envy. Obtaining such a suitable spirit ring was truly enviable.

"What is your fifth soul skill? It should be very powerful!" Wu Xuan said with a smile.

"My fifth soul skill, I call it, Three Lives Soul-Calming, single-target control. This soul skill directly targets the enemy's body and soul power. Once hit, the enemy will be sealed directly. Unless you use soul power far stronger than mine, don't think of breaking free easily." Xiao Xiao said happily.

"Very impressive!" Wu Xuan praised.

"Okay, all we need is Wang Dong's soul ring. We'll search in the mixed area for another two days. If we still haven't found it, we'll go into the core area!" Wu Xuan said.

"Okay!" the two responded.

At the same time, on the Lima Plain near Shrek City, eleven figures shrouded in black mist flew high in the sky, the evil and resentment emanating from them almost solidifying into reality.

There was no doubt that these eleven people were all evil spirit masters. Four of them had reached the level of Titled Douluo, and two of them had even reached the level of Super Douluo.

"Old Eight! You're truly loyal! When those bastards from the Worship Hall heard about heading to Shrek City to investigate, they all ran away like rabbits," a powerful Super Douluo exhaled. "Don't say useless things, Fifth Brother. Just remember the promise you made to me," a rather feminine male voice said.

"Haha, of course. Compared with the risk you are going to take, the bloody souls of ten thousand people are nothing." The man named Fifth Brother laughed.

The feminine man named Lao Ba hid in a black robe and sneered. "Why am I here? It's naturally arranged by the leader. Otherwise, I wouldn't take this risk with you." But then again, it's really nice to have the best of both worlds. After receiving the leader's reward, I can also extort money from this fool. This kind of good thing is really delicious.

These two Super Douluo are the two great priests of the Holy Spirit Cult: the Fifth Elder, a Level 95 Super Douluo, titled Demon Blade, and the Eighth Elder, a Level 95 Super Douluo, titled Lich.

As for the rest, they are either Titled Douluo or Soul Douluo. Such a lineup is truly luxurious.

The reason Zhongli Wu sent the Eighth Elder to assist was naturally because of the Eighth Elder's spirit, the Lich. This strange and evil spirit was not only extremely skilled in concealment but also skilled in curses and viruses. This spirit was extremely difficult to cultivate, but once cultivated to perfection, it would become a nightmare for mid-level and low-level spirit masters.

Why is this spirit so difficult to cultivate? Because it requires the souls of those killed by swords and other metal tools to accelerate its cultivation. Furthermore, the more it cultivates, the more its body becomes androgynous. In other words, if a male possesses a lich spirit, he will develop female characteristics, and vice versa.

Therefore, this eighth elder is simply the evil soul master among evil soul masters.

"Shrek City is just ahead, Lao Ba. We'll be relying on you later." said Demon Blade Douluo.

"Don't worry~!" Lao Ba Lich Douluo whimpered, and a pale light slowly emerged from behind him. It was a figure with a stiff face, a distorted body, and various defects. This was Lao Ba's martial soul, the Lich.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black! Nine soul rings shone all over his body.

The first ring shone, and a bone staff emitting red light appeared in his hand.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Blood Mist Skyflower!"

Streams of blood-red mist shot out from the bone staff, enveloping Devil Blade Douluo and the other two Titled Douluos. "With my sixth soul skill, as long as you, Fifth Brother, have a little disguise, no powerful being will be able to discover your evil soul masters, let alone detect your presence."

"Fifth brother, it's up to you to go to Shrek's inner courtyard and gather information. My colleagues and I will investigate Shrek's outer courtyard and the city guards at each city gate. This is also the task the leader gave me before he left."

"Okay, take care of yourself, Old Eight! Let's go!" Demon Blade Douluo clasped his fists and then led the two Titled Douluos towards Shrek City.

It has to be said that this blood mist ceiling is really secretive. The entire exploration process went very smoothly. The three Demon Knife Douluo easily sneaked into the Shrek inner courtyard and even directly visited the Soul Guidance Department and the Martial Soul Department.

"Damn you Lu Chong, you really dare to betray the Holy Church. You are a scum among evil soul masters, and you have ignored my kindness in supporting you!" Demon Blade Douluo looked at the major warehouses of Shrek Soul Guidance Department and was so angry that his soul power almost went out of control.
