Chapter 179 Ambush on a Title Douluo.
Thirty kilometers to the north, a colossal beast, at least eight meters tall, crashed to the ground with a mournful eagle's cry.
"That damned beast is really troublesome," a man with a gloomy face cursed, clutching his bleeding wound.
"Alright, Lao Hua, hurry up and absorb the spirit ring. This place isn't too far from the griffins' gathering place; it'll be troublesome if we're discovered," a white-haired man urged, taking off his tattered robes.
"Haha! Thanks for your help this time, brother. After you break through to Title Douluo, I'll definitely help you hunt a spirit beast with an age higher than mine," the man named Lao Hua laughed.
"Higher than your 90,000-year-old griffin? Could it be that Lao Hua wants to help me hunt a 100,000-year-old spirit ring?" the white-haired man asked in surprise.
"If you can find the target, I'll naturally help you with all my might. I think by then I'll already have the strength to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts." The gloomy man patted his shoulder earnestly.
"Then I'll thank you in advance, Lao Hua. However, the Star Luo Empire is under full martial law now, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to cultivate by absorbing a large number of wronged souls.
Becoming a Title Douluo is a long way off." The white-haired man sighed. "No problem! If Star Luo doesn't work, there's still the Heavenly Soul and Douling Kingdoms. By then, I'll be a Title Douluo, let's see how those two empires can stop us. I'll absorb life force and flesh, and you'll refine wronged souls. Neither of us will waste anything, hahaha!" The gloomy man laughed wildly.
"Haha! Not bad, Lao Hua, your arrangement is really good. Hahaha." The silver-haired man stroked his chin and also enjoyed the moment.
"Alright, brother! Time waits for no one. I'll fuse with this Silver Scale Griffin's soul ring first." The gloomy man ignored his wounds and directly began absorbing the ninth soul ring.
The white-haired man nodded indifferently upon hearing this, and sat down guard beside the cold-faced man.
At this moment, Wu Xuan had already transformed into the wind, hovering above the two powerful evil soul masters. He had overheard their entire conversation.
"Is this how the Star Luo Royal Family operates? They couldn't even catch the mastermind, only a few small fry?"
Looking at the guarded white-haired man below, Wu Xuan suppressed his urge to attack. He only had one chance; if he failed, another sneak attack would be impossible.
Absorbing the ninth soul ring would take at least a day or two, giving him plenty of time.
Seeing that there was no cover within a hundred meters, Wu Xuan immediately withdrew. After regaining his form, he activated his aura perception to its maximum power. Under these conditions, even the slightest movement from his target would be detected by Wu Xuan.
At this moment, Wu Xuan was like a seasoned hunter with decades of experience, quietly lying in wait, ready to deliver the final blow when his prey revealed its last weakness.
To Wu Xuan's surprise, the ambush didn't take long; his prey quickly revealed its weakness.
Sensing the white-haired man was at least twenty meters away from the gloomy man, Wu Xuan didn't hesitate, his sixth spirit ring shining brightly.
Activating the Shadowless Wind technique, Wu Xuan, becoming invisible, soared into the sky, heading straight for the two.
The higher the age of a spirit beast, the greater the chance of it dropping a spirit bone, especially this 90,000-year-old silver-scaled griffin.
Just as the gloomy man entered the spirit ring absorption stage, the fluctuations of scattered spirit power outside the spirit ring disappeared, and a strange fluctuation spread from the dead silver-scaled griffin.
As if realizing something, the white-haired man, unable to contain his excitement, stepped forward and began to carefully examine the silver-scaled griffin's corpse.
It was this movement of the white-haired man that gave Wu Xuan an excellent opportunity to strike.
Arriving in an instant, Wu Xuan naturally sensed this fluctuation, but with the arrow already on the bowstring, there was no reason not to release it.
In a flash, Qingfeng transformed into his true form, and a dazzling pale pink halo suddenly shone around Wu Xuan.
The halo instantly enveloped the area where Lao Hua was located, and the air distorted violently, everything seeming unreal.
All the plants within this area, enveloped by the pink halo, were dissolving at an alarming rate. They weren't directly destroyed, but rather weathered as if time itself had suddenly accelerated.
The sixth soul skill, Annihilation Wind, caused the pink halo to solidify into wave-like patterns centered on Wu Xuan, like a floating wave appearing out of thin air. Wu Xuan was the starting point of this wave.
Then, the wave-like pink halo suddenly trembled. The tremor was very slight, and nothing changed in its path. But when this vibration reached Lao Hua, his eyes bulged violently, and blood gushed from every part of his body, not just his mouth. Before he could utter a final word, Lao Hua collapsed to the ground, dying a humiliating death.
A super strong expert who was about to break through to the Title Douluo realm died just like that. He died a miserable death under Wu Xuan's lightning-fast sneak attack.
The Annihilation Wind, a terrifying soul skill that destroys the internal organs and structures of living beings from the inside out.
"Old Hua! You brat, you're asking for death!" A furious roar suddenly rang out beside the Silver Scale Griffin's corpse.
The white-haired man didn't care whether the Silver Scale Griffin had dropped a soul bone; a surge of yin energy dispersed, and the next moment, a sinister and eerie black shadow appeared behind him—two yellow, two purple, and four black! Eight perfectly matched soul rings suddenly appeared.
His fourth soul ring suddenly shone brightly, and his arms instantly transformed into ferocious black claws the size of drumheads, reaching relentlessly towards Wu Xuan.
Wu Xuan had already leaned back the instant he succeeded, fleeing to the side like lightning.
The moment the white-haired man released his martial soul, Wu Xuan recognized it: a vengeful spirit! A very peculiar evil martial soul. Those who possess this kind of martial soul are born unable to cultivate soul power on their own; they can only cultivate by devouring the tormented souls of those who died tragically. It could be said that the white-haired man's current Soul Douluo cultivation was achieved by stepping over tens of thousands of corpses.
His attack missed, and the man's eyes turned bloodshot as he pursued again.
"Old dog! Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Your companion will be your fate." Wu Xuan immediately launched into taunts.
"Die! I'll kill you!" The white-haired man roared to the sky as his sixth soul ring suddenly shone brightly.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Evil Vengeful Spirit."
The vengeful spirits swirling with black mist behind the white-haired man twisted and rippled, revealing a hideous and terrifying ghost face.
As the black mist dissipated, the ghost face revealed a naked woman. Her skin was an eerie, ghostly gray, and her chest and thighs were covered in gruesome wounds with exposed flesh. It was clear that the woman had suffered terrible torture in her previous life.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Evil Spirit Roar!"
The white-haired man's sixth soul ring suddenly shone brightly, and with a whoosh—two ear-piercing shrieks resounded. The irritating and grating high-pitched sound made Wu Xuan's brows furrow deeply.
