Chapter 67: Scattering Your Ashes
"Chi!"
At this moment, Blood Infant Douluo was pierced through the chest by a dark silver spear.
The handle of the spear was held in the hands of a female Soul Saint with a excellent figure, whose face was shrouded in shadows.
This spear was her sixth soul skill—Shadow God Spear!
"Whoosh!"
A sound of breaking wind rang out.
This female Soul Saint, whose features were indistinct, actually raised her spear and lifted Blood Infant Douluo up entirely.
Under the intense pain, Blood Infant Douluo gripped the handle tightly with both hands, his legs struggling violently, just like a suckling pig waiting to be slaughtered.
"Heh..."
He opened his mouth, wanting to make a sound, but what gushed out was large mouthfuls of fresh blood from his shattered heart and lungs.
The female Soul Saint just held up the spear with Blood Infant Douluo impaled on it, watching his powerless dying struggle.
Silence, absolute silence!
Everyone stared blankly at this scene.
Hu Liena, who was held in Zhou Chen's arms, closed her eyes in disbelief, then opened them, only to discover it was not an illusion!
Blood Infant Douluo, this Blood Soul Master who had roamed the continent for nearly a century, and whom even the Spirit Hall's Second Enshrined Elder, the ninety-eighth level Golden Crocodile Douluo, could not kill, was actually ambushed to the brink of death by a seven-ring Soul Saint so easily!
"This young lady, this old man suggests it is better to deal with the demon Blood Infant as soon as possible, to avoid any changes."
Golden Eagle Soul Douluo Luoerdiyala flew to the side of this female Soul Saint with a hot figure.
First, he bowed with respect, then spoke with some concern.
He also meant well. After all, Blood Infant Douluo's methods were too strange; a slight carelessness might allow him to escape.
Hearing these words, the female Soul Saint did not move, but turned her head, her eyes looking toward Zhou Chen and Hu Liena.
To be precise, she only looked at Zhou Chen.
Only Zhou Chen's words would she listen to.
Because she was Zhu Zhuqing.
Yes, Zhu Zhuqing had also followed in this operation to exterminate the Blood Soul Masters.
Possessing the Shadow God King Bloodline, she had the ability to hide within the Shadow Void.
Therefore, even if she stayed by Zhou Chen's side the whole time, no one could discover her.
Of course, the idea to have Zhu Zhuqing hide came mainly from Zhou Chen.
He, who always liked to plot against others, feared most being plotted against by others.
So, he had Zhu Zhuqing hide in mid-air as his hidden trump card.
This matter was not even known to Hu Liena.
However, when Hu Liena saw Zhu Zhuqing's figure, her high intelligence allowed her to roughly guess the situation.
At this moment, feeling Zhu Zhuqing's tender gaze, Zhou Chen held Hu Liena and flew over on his sword.
He first flew in front of the dying Blood Infant Douluo and sneered: "You were acting pretty awesome just now, right? How come, you couldn't block this righteous backstab?"
"Heh..."
Hearing Zhou Chen's ridicule, Blood Infant Douluo was so angry he twisted violently, wanting to speak, but could only spray his own blood.
After teasing Blood Infant Douluo with a sentence, Zhou Chen then flew to Zhu Zhuqing's side and said gently: "You've worked hard."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes glimmered, and she whispered softly: "As long as it is for you, I am happy doing anything, not hard at all."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present used strange eyes, scanning back and forth between Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing.
It was very obvious; the relationship between these two was definitely not ordinary!
No wonder this female Soul Saint suddenly attacked Blood Infant Douluo.
They initially thought this female Soul Saint was a warm-hearted person who drew her sword to help against injustice.
Now it seemed, this female Soul Saint was clearly venting anger for her lover!
Instantly, all the men present cast gazes of admiration mixed with envy, jealousy, and hatred toward Zhou Chen.
Good kid, not only is he intimate with their Spirit Hall's Saintess Hu Liena, but he also has an unclear relationship with this powerful female Soul Saint.
Being handsome really has advantages!
Even mooching off women can be done so earth-shatteringly!
Thinking about how Blood Infant Douluo roamed for a lifetime but ended up falling into the hands of a kid who mooches off women, it is also quite tragic...
"Alright, no more playing."
Zhou Chen, who was cautious by nature, waved his hand.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, he said gently: "Kill that old thing Blood Infant. Use your fifth soul skill, Shadow God Fire, to burn him clean, scatter his bone ashes! To avoid him faking death or becoming a zombie!"
"Okay."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
Her fifth soul ring lit up. The next moment, black and white dual-colored flames suddenly ignited on the shadow spear and rapidly spread to Blood Infant Douluo's body!
"Ahhh—"
Burned by the Shadow God Fire, Blood Infant Douluo finally let out a miserable scream!
However, in just three seconds, Blood Infant Douluo made no more sound.
Because his whole body had been incinerated, body and soul destroyed.
The only thing that could prove he existed was the clumps of white bone ash powder floating in the air.
However, just then, a breeze blew past, and Blood Infant Douluo's bone ash was also blown away.
"Wait, what is this?"
Zhou Chen suddenly discovered that a blood-red ring was floating in the air.
He didn't know what material this ring was made of; its density was actually less than air, and it could withstand three seconds of burning by the Shadow God Fire.
Zhou Chen circulated his soul power, reached out and sucked, and captured this blood-red ring in his hand.
Then, he used spiritual power to investigate this ring and was surprised to find it was a precious Spatial Soul Tool.
Unfortunately, the ring was empty. Aside from a round, pitch-black token, there was nothing.
"Not bad, even knowing to drop equipment after death? This Blood Infant really is a decent Boss."
Zhou Chen muttered a few words in a low voice and very naturally put the spatial ring on his finger.
Seeing that Blood Infant Douluo was dead, Luoerdiyala nearby suddenly said: "Little friend Zhou Chen, I leave Saintess to your care."
Saying that, he turned around.
The golden wings behind him shook violently, and he quickly transformed into a stream of golden light, flying toward Silveis City below.
As the overall commander of this operation, he had many things that needed cleanup.
For example, comforting the families of the Soul Masters who died in battle, compensating for the damaged city buildings, communicating with the Silveis royal family about follow-up matters, and so on...
Late night.
After the intense battle with the Blood Soul Masters in the first half of the night, Zhou Chen, Hu Liena, and Zhu Zhuqing were already very exhausted.
Therefore, as soon as they returned to the Royal Hotel, they hurriedly went back to their rooms to rest.
At this time, in the presidential suite.
Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing were sleeping soundly in the bedroom.
Zhou Chen, however, sat on the sofa in the living room and took out the only pitch-black plaque from within the spatial ring.
Since Blood Infant Douluo only put this one thing in the spatial ring, one can imagine that this token must be very important!
Zhou Chen examined it carefully.
He saw that on the token, there were faintly two skull carvings. Apart from this, there were no other features.
If I'm not mistaken, this token should belong to the Evil Soul Master organization behind Blood Infant Douluo.
Unfortunately, Zhou Chen didn't recognize the origin of the token.
After all, this is the timeline of Douluo Dalu 1. Evil Soul Masters are not yet a major force.
The original plot barely mentioned information regarding Evil Soul Masters.
However, Zhou Chen had the system.
"System, appraise this token!"
"Ding... Appraising the token costs 1000 gold yuan points. Host, are you sure?"
"Confirm." Zhou Chen said.
"Ding... Deducting 1000 gold yuan points..."
"Appraising!"
"Appraisal complete!"
"Ding... This is the elder token of the Evil Soul Master organization—the Holy Spirit Cult. Host, please raise your vigilance."
"What?"
Zhou Chen stood up abruptly and said in shock.
The Holy Spirit Cult, that is an Evil Soul Master organization that appeared on a large scale ten thousand years later, during the Douluo Dalu 2 period!!
Why would it appear here, ten thousand years ago?
Could it be that this Holy Spirit Cult, like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the Clear Sky Clan, and other forces, is an ancient organization that existed alongside the Spirit Hall and has been passed down to ten thousand years later?
