"Who is it? How dare you trespass on our Ironblood Sect? You're courting death!"
Upon sensing something was amiss, a group of disciples from the Ironblood Sect swarmed forward, shouting at Tang Ya, who was shrouded in a black hooded cloak.
Tang Ya's gaze swept over the members of the Ironblood Sect. She had no interest in wasting words on them. With a flash of crimson in her eyes, she raised her arms. Dozens of dark Blue Silver Grass burst from the ground, piercing the bodies of the nearest disciples with lightning speed.
"Pfft—"
The sound of flesh being torn apart echoed, and warm, crimson blood gushed out.
Feeling the intense pain coursing through their bodies, these unfortunate individuals couldn't help but let out a piercing scream of pain from deep within their throats.
"Ugh… AAAAAAAH!!!"
The most terrifying thing for them was that they could clearly feel their soul power and life force rapidly draining away, being quickly extracted by the dark Blue Silver Grass.
Forget about pulling out the Blue Silver Grass that was embedded in their bodies; they couldn't even take a step back. They could only watch helplessly as their bodies withered away, their eyes gradually dimming.
Seeing this, the other Ironblood Sect members around them were filled with panic. They didn't even have the thought of confronting Tang Ya; they just wanted to get further away from this woman who looked curvy and attractive but was actually using bizarre methods to kill people.
In just a few breaths, the soul power and life force of these few "lucky" individuals were devoured by Tang Ya. Feeling that her strength had improved slightly again, Tang Ya took off her hood, revealing a pale-faced, cold and beautiful young face.
"Where's Tie Li? Have him get out here."
Tang Ya, while controlling the mutated dark Blue Silver Grass to continue devouring the life force of the other Ironblood Sect disciples present, a strange and sickly smile appeared on her face as she shouted.
"Tie Li! If you don't come out quickly, all of you Ironblood Sect members will die!"
Bang!
Following Tang Ya's words, a muffled sound echoed.
Tie Li, the Ironblood Sect's Sect Master, and the two Soul King-ranked elders appeared simultaneously.
Looking at the shriveled corpses of the disciples, Tie Li's pupils contracted slightly. His heart skipped a beat as he realized that this woman of unknown identity was definitely an Evil Soul Master!
Across the entire Douluo Continent, it was likely only Evil Soul Masters who possessed such a bizarre method of absorbing life force!
The saying "enemies meeting are bound to be extremely jealous" couldn't be more fitting for Tang Ya and Tie Li.
The instant she saw Tie Li, the scene of the Tang Sect being slaughtered by Tie Li and the Ironblood Sect flashed across Tang Ya's mind. Unable to contain the rage and hatred in her heart any longer, she shrieked and, abandoning the others, charged directly towards Tie Li.
Tie Li snorted coldly at this. A configuration of one white, two yellow, three purple, and six black soul rings rose from beneath his feet, surrounding his body. He not only showed no intention of retreating in the face of Tang Ya's attack but instead took the initiative to meet it head-on.
A mere three-ring Soul Elder, even if she was a notoriously powerful Evil Soul Master, Tie Li simply didn't take Tang Ya seriously.
"Those who dare to offend the Ironblood Sect will be crushed!"
While Tang Ya and Tie Li were locked in combat, the other Ironblood Sect members weren't idle. They didn't know why this woman had come to their sect and started this madness, but since she dared to kill their fellow sect members, she would pay the price in blood!
However, just as these individuals wanted to support their sect leader, Tie Li, they suddenly felt an invisible pressure descend upon them, preventing them from making any extra movements. They could only watch the battle between Tang Ya and Tie Li.
Sitting on the eaves, Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng waved his hand, not allowing those flies to disturb his Holy Maiden's path of revenge. Instead, he enjoyed the scene of Tang Ya's dark Blue Silver Grass and Tang Sect hidden weapons working together, gradually putting Tie Li, a Soul Emperor, at an absolute disadvantage.
"Those guys from Shrek Academy, they're still as unreasonable as ever! They forced her into becoming an Evil Soul Master. Is this what they wanted?"
"All this time, not to mention using that mutated Blue Silver Grass to absorb the soul power and life force of soul masters, this little girl hasn't even absorbed the life force of soul beasts, only the life force of plants!"
"It's easy to imagine that even when she was at Shrek Academy before, she definitely didn't harm others, but she was still labeled an Evil Soul Master by the bright and upright Shrek Academy. That's really something!"
Thinking back to the scene where he was branded as an Evil Soul Master by Mu En without explanation, Zhang Peng's eyes immediately turned cold and gloomy.
Previously, when the matter of Shrek Academy secretly cultivating Evil Soul Masters was causing a huge uproar, Zhang Peng happened to be out on a mission for the Holy Spirit Cult. He wanted to see what was going on, and that's when he discovered Tang Ya, the fallen Tang Sect Master.
Especially after knowing the truth of the matter, learning that she was a scapegoat pushed out by Shrek Academy, Zhang Peng felt a sense of kinship with her and immediately had the idea of absorbing Tang Ya into the Holy Spirit Cult.
With Tang Ya's special nature after her martial soul's mutation, after joining the Holy Spirit Cult, she would definitely be a strong candidate for the Holy Maiden!
"Those guys from Shrek will definitely pay a bloody price for their arrogance and prejudice in the future!"
Zhang Peng reached this conclusion as he watched Tang Ya, who had already cornered Tie Li. The dark Blue Silver Grass was poised to strike, ready to pierce Tie Li's body and absorb the Soul Emperor's soul power and life force.
Sun Moon Empire, Worship Hall.
After Huo Yuhao brought Zhang Lexuan here, Zhang Lexuan finally understood just how popular this little guy, Huo Yuhao, was.
Every single worshiper here was a Title Douluo. Yet, upon seeing Huo Yuhao, they would greet him with kind smiles and warmly invite him to consult them about Soul Tools.
Zhang Lexuan knew this wasn't just because Huo Yuhao was the disciple of the Grand Elder, Kong Deming. It was because of his status as a child of destiny. Being around Huo Yuhao would bring many benefits!
Even those Ninth Rank Soul Tool Masters, who had taken too many pills in their youth to increase their soul power, found that their soul power bottlenecks had loosened slightly after spending time with Huo Yuhao.
If they weren't concerned about their reputation, these Ninth Rank Soul Tool Masters would have already tried to steal Huo Yuhao as their disciple!
When Huo Yuhao arrived at the laboratory where Kong Deming was working, Kong Deming didn't even raise his head. His voice was calm as he said, "Didn't I tell you to relax during this vacation and not be so tense? Why are you here again? Although constantly pushing yourself hard does indeed allow your strength and Soul Tool knowledge to increase rapidly, it's easy for you to run into problems."
"Since you're young, you should be doing things young people do."
"I heard that Jing Hongchen's granddaughter, the princess from the royal family, and several girls in your class are always around you. Don't tell me there isn't one that interests you! Or is it that you just can't choose?"
Huo Yuhao's face showed a hint of embarrassment. After a dry cough, he said,
"Teacher, now is not the time to talk about this. I came to ask you a question."
Kong Deming still couldn't bear to put down the Soul Tool core he was engraving, and said casually,
"Go ahead, what's the question?"
"I remember the Sun and Moon Martial Souls are the hereditary Martial Souls of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family. Is it possible that people from other places also have this Martial Soul?"
Kong Deming sneered at the words and said without hesitation.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Huo Yuhao turned to Zhang Lexuan, grinning.
"Sister Lexuan, give him the whole thing. Since the teacher doesn't believe it, let him see."
