Chapter 159

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's actions were as ruthless as an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves; he treated his colleagues as if he were truly slaughtering a group of helpless chicks.

The bloody scene of the massacre filled the Soul Hall Dou Zun leading the way with extreme terror.

His eyes were full of fear, terrified that he would be the next insignificant existence to be slain by Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.

Under the trembling guidance of this Dou Zun, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing arrived at a dark and deep secret chamber.

In the secret chamber, countless soul light clusters were like scattered stars, emitting a faint glow as they floated silently in the air.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's gaze swept across this sea of light, a flash of brilliance appearing in his eyes.

He knew that these soul light clusters were good things; each one contained powerful soul energy, and refining them could elevate his own soul realm.

As it happened, his soul realm had been stuck at the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection for a long time.

If he could use these souls to break through to the Emperor Realm soul, that would also be quite good.

He no longer hesitated; with a wave of his large hand, a powerful suction force instantly erupted from his palm, attracting those soul light clusters like a magnet before storing them one by one into his storage ring.

As for refining the souls of others, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing truly never felt a shred of hesitation or doubt.

Whether this behavior was evil, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing did not care.

In his view, the improvement of strength was the way of survival and the foundation for standing in the world; in a world where the strong are respected, only by possessing sufficient strength could one protect oneself and those around them.

Furthermore, even if these souls were released, they had long since lost any possibility of survival.

Rather than letting them wander this world, it was better to let himself refine them.

By refining these souls to make himself stronger, perhaps he would have the chance to avenge them in the future; this was the best closure for them.

Thinking this way, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing felt even more justified in refining these souls, without any burden at all.

Moreover, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing decided that he would often come to the Soul Hall to snatch souls in the future, using this to constantly improve his strength and strive to avenge them sooner!

Seeing Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing put these souls away, the Dou Zun was just about to beg for mercy.

However, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing did not give him any chance. As he turned to leave, he waved his hand casually, and a sharp Dou Qi attack struck toward the Dou Zun like lightning.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's movements were fluid and decisive; he didn't even look at the Dou Zun as he turned and left.

The Dou Zun's expression changed drastically; he clearly had not expected Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing to be so resolute.

He hurriedly mobilized the Dou Qi in his body and unleashed a battle skill, attempting to block the attack.

However, his battle skill appeared so fragile before Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's attack, as if made of paper, collapsing at the slightest touch.

Following a deafening roar, the terrifying attack slammed the Dou Zun to the ground like a landslide or a tsunami.

His body rolled violently on the ground a few times before finally coming to a stop.

At this moment, his eyes were tightly shut, and he was motionless, as if he had lost all signs of life.

After a long while, the Dou Zun's eyes suddenly opened, a flash of unconcealable ecstasy appearing in them.

He hadn't died!

Although Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's attack just now was incomparably terrifying, it had only left him severely injured.

His body trembled amidst waves of intense pain, but he appeared exceptionally joyful.

Because he could go on living!

This Dou Zun expert was also quite sharp-witted; after being struck by Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's attack, he believed this was a chance to survive.

Thus, he decisively decided to adopt the strategy of "playing dead."

He lay on the ground, eyes tightly shut, holding his breath, trying his best to make his aura and heartbeat as faint as possible.

Having survived a disaster, he felt incredibly fortunate.

What he did not know was that this was actually Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's deliberate doing.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing had calculated the power of that attack with extreme precision when he unleashed it.

He had cleverly controlled the force of the Dou Qi to ensure the attack would cause severe injury to the Dou Zun without being fatal.

In this way, it would make the Dou Zun believe that Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing had been careless.

In fact, the reason Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing did not kill this Dou Zun directly was not because he felt pity for the fact that the other party had led the way for him.

He knew deeply that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, a soft heart would only become a stumbling block for himself.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing did not kill him simply because he knew that the Vice Hall Master had already crushed the jade slip, and Hun Miesheng would arrive soon.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing understood the principle of doing a job thoroughly. He not only wanted to make the Dou Zun mistakenly believe he was just careless, but also wanted to make others in the Soul Clan believe that all of this was the work of the Ancient Clan.

Since he wanted to frame the Ancient Clan, leaving an eyewitness for the Soul Hall to point the finger at the Ancient Clan was undoubtedly an excellent strategy.

After obtaining the Child Fire of the Xuwu Tun Yan, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing did not rush to return to Xuwu Dragon Island.

This matter was of great importance and had to be handled with caution.

Therefore, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing found a hidden place, preparing to let his Exotic Fire Spirit swallow and refine this Child Fire first.

He understood that as the second-ranked Exotic Fire on the Exotic Fire Ranking, the Xuwu Tun Yan's strength and sensing ability were extremely powerful, capable of easily tracking the location of the Child Fire.

If he were to rashly return to Xuwu Dragon Island without cutting off the connection between the Child Fire and the Xuwu Tun Yan, and the Xuwu Tun Yan were to deduce something from this Child Fire, that would be bad.

Of course, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing also knew that many people in the Soul Clan were refining Child Fires of the Xuwu Tun Yan, and the Xuwu Tun Yan might not be able to attend to every single one.

But even so, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing still dared not lower his guard.

He always firmly believed that caution is the parent of safety. Only by ensuring there were no mistakes could he remain in an invincible position.

As long as his Exotic Fire Spirit successfully swallowed and refined the Child Fire, it could cut off the connection between the Xuwu Tun Yan and the Child Fire; only then would returning to Xuwu Dragon Island be the safest course of action.

Simply put, there was no need to rush.

Just as Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was looking for a hidden place to prepare to swallow the Child Fire of the Xuwu Tun Yan, Hun Miesheng had already quickly arrived at the Earth Hall.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, he saw the Earth Hall in a state of chaos and could not help but think to himself that something was wrong.

Hun Miesheng immediately began searching for clues and soon found that sharp-witted Dou Zun.

He walked up and coldly asked about what had just happened.

Facing the high and mighty Hall Master, this Dou Zun did not dare to hide anything, so he told everything Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing had done, point by point.

After hearing the Dou Zun's account, Hun Miesheng was furious.

He had not expected that it was actually a Five-Star Dou Saint of the Ancient Clan who had done this.

The people of the Ancient Clan had not only killed their Soul Clan's Three-Star Dou Saint Vice Hall Master but had also snatched all the souls from the Earth Hall.

For the Soul Clan, this was undoubtedly a huge loss.

The Vice Hall Master was their Soul Clan's Three-Star Dou Saint; even for the Soul Clan, it would not be easy to cultivate a Three-Star Dou Saint.

Yet the people of the Ancient Clan were so arrogant and domineering, not only killing him but also snatching all the souls of this Earth Hall.

How could Hun Miesheng not be angry?

I have to prepare for exams recently, so I will reduce updates for now.

The plot is still under my control, so it won't be abandoned.
