Time passed quietly. Soul power surged around Lin Xiao, his face was sometimes painful and distorted, sometimes soothing and calm. It was obvious that the process of absorbing the soul ring was not a smooth journey.
Fortunately, after an hour, although his breath was weak, it was still stable.
Tieshan and Xiao Zhan stood by like two stone sculptures, watching the surroundings vigilantly, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
However, what you fear will come true, and a group of uninvited guests broke this rare tranquility. After Tieshan saw who was coming, his brows twisted into knots.
"The Seven Evils Mercenaries, what a narrow road for enemies!"
Xiao Zhan immediately took a defensive posture and asked in a low voice: "Captain Tieshan, what is the origin of the Seven Evils Mercenaries? Are they enemies or friends?"
Tieshan explained with a worried look on his face: "There are many soul hunting towns on the edge of the Xingdou Great Forest, and there are countless soul hunting mercenaries. Everyone will naturally rank them according to their strength and size.
My Crazy Lion Mercenary Group barely ranks seventh, and it is all thanks to me, a level 58 soul king, who keeps it in shape."
"And the Seven Evils Mercenary Group ranks third. The group is headed by three Soul Kings and four Soul Masters. There are also hundreds of soul masters of other levels, all of whom are ruthless.
They are also 'famous' among soul hunters, but they are notorious!
In this Star Dou Great Forest, there are no imperial laws or moral bottom lines. They often kill and rob, but they never provoke big forces, so many soul masters can't do anything to them. I'm afraid they are not friendly when I meet them today!"
After hearing this, Xiao Zhan's heart skipped a beat. The Seven Evils Mercenary Group was clearly here to cause trouble. Now that Lin Xiao was at the critical moment of absorbing the soul ring, he had no time to fight. What should he do?
Just when Xiao Zhan was extremely anxious, the people of the Seven Evils Mercenary Group had already come close. The
leader was a one-eyed sturdy man with a face full of flesh, carrying a ghost-headed broadsword, and he was not a good person at first glance. There were also twenty or thirty people following behind him, all of them were fierce and ferocious, with greed in their eyes.
The one-eyed burly man first glanced at Lin Xiao who was absorbing the spirit ring, then turned his gaze to Tieshan. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Hey, isn't this Captain Tieshan of the Crazy Lion Mercenary Group? What, are you protecting my little brother? What kind of spirit ring did this little guy absorb? Judging from the noise, it's quite old!"
Tieshan snorted coldly: "Guli, this is our Crazy Lion Mercenary Group's business, and has nothing to do with your Seven Evils Mercenary Group! Get out of here if you know what's good for you!" Guli chuckled
, his triangular eyes rolling around: "Tieshan, what you said, whoever sees it gets a share!
The spirit ring that this little guy absorbed is quite old, maybe it can even explode into a spirit bone! There are so many of us brothers. We have come here with great effort, we can't go back empty-handed, can we?"
He paused deliberately, and sighed pretentiously: "Oh, what a pity! There are only a few of you from your Crazy Lion Mercenary Group here today.
How about... giving some life-saving money to our Seven Evils Mercenary Group? Don't worry, since we are both one of the top ten mercenary groups, I promise not to embarrass you."
Tieshan couldn't listen any more. He immediately roared: "Bullshit! You are targeting my mad master. Aren't you afraid that you will get it but not live to spend it?"
A tall and thin man behind Gu Li said in a sarcastic tone:
"Oh... Captain Tieshan has a bad temper! What, you want to fight with our Seven Evils Mercenary Group? Don't you see how many people are around you and whether they are qualified!"
Tieshan's face was livid. He knew that it would be difficult to end this matter peacefully today. The group of people in the Seven Evils Mercenary Group clearly knew that he was weak now, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
At this moment, a dazzling red light suddenly burst out from Lin Xiao's body. The red light shot up into the sky, and a pair of scarlet wings instantly spread out from his back.
Gu Li looked at it with his eyes wide open, and the greedy light almost overflowed. He originally just wanted some benefits, but he didn't expect to encounter such a great opportunity.
"This... this is... an external soul bone! My God, it's an external soul bone!"

He turned his head suddenly and shouted to the people behind him: "What are you still standing there for? Come on! The second and third brothers and I will hold back Tieshan and the other two first. Whoever grabs the soul bone will be rewarded handsomely!"
The people of the Seven Evils Mercenaries immediately rushed towards Lin Xiao with a roar as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
"Mad lion—possessed!"
Tieshan roared, his muscles knotted, and the whole person swelled up. A violent lion phantom appeared behind him.
Xiao Zhan was not to be outdone. He roared and summoned his martial soul, the violent bear, and clenched his fists to face the enemy.
Although the people of the Seven Evils Mercenaries were fierce, Tieshan and Xiao Zhan were not vegetarians. The two cooperated tacitly and blocked the three soul kings of the Seven Evils Mercenaries for a while.
Seeing this, Gu Li sneered: "Tie Shan, it seems that you are really good! However, do you think that you two can stop our Seven Evils Mercenary Group? How naive!"
"Today, I will let you know what it means to try to stop a chariot with a mantis arm and overestimate your own strength!" Gu Li grinned and slashed at Tie Shan with a knife.
On the other hand, although Lin Xiao had been closing his eyes to absorb the soul ring, he was well aware of everything happening around him.
At this time, he felt that dozens of soul masters and soul masters were approaching him, and he had just finished absorbing the soul ring. Then his eyes suddenly opened, red light flashed in his eyes, and two yellow soul rings quickly emerged from under him.
The soul master in the lead was obviously the fourth of the Seven Evils Mercenary Group.
After he approached, he looked at Lin Xiao and smiled coldly: "A mere great soul master can actually get an external soul bone. However, today all of this is ours. Boy, you deserve your bad luck!"
However, at the moment he was about to take action, the wings behind Lin Xiao suddenly shook, and his figure instantly floated in the air. His blood-red eyes swept coldly over the soul masters in front of him.
Then he shouted at the battlefield in the distance: "Xiao Zhan, burst out with all your strength! These chicken-crow and dog-thieves, kill them without mercy!"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao had already summoned his martial soul - Dragon Soul Overlord Spear.
The originally blood-red spear body now had a layer of blazing flames, emitting a heart-pounding scorching breath.
"Second soul skill - Dragon Soul Explosion!"
Lin Xiao shouted loudly, and the spear in his hand suddenly stabbed forward. A huge red flame spear shadow flew down from the sky, crashed into the ground, and instantly caused a violent explosion.
After the dust settled, there were only five or six soul masters who could still stand, and each of them was charred black, obviously suffering from varying degrees of injuries.
The few survivors looked at Lin Xiao in the air with horror, and wanted to retreat, but the boss behind them was still fighting back, and they did not dare to escape without permission.
At this moment, Lin Xiao's hellish voice rang in their ears again: "If you take by force, you must be prepared to die."
"External Soul Bone Skill - Red Flame Dragon Wings - Blazing Fire!"
Lin Xiao's wings behind him flapped slightly, and countless red flames took shape in an instant, covering the sky and shooting towards the Soul Sects.
