Chapter 27: Tang Tang Wulin's Passive Trigger, Evil Soul Masters' Surprise Attack, Dark Golden Kong

Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue gently rubbed their level-one disabled ears; two situations humans cannot defend against: zero-frame start or super-long wind-up!

Facing two beams of gaze that seemed ready to spray fire, Xiang Xiang Naer quickly extinguished the screen, put on an innocent and pitiful expression, and explained:

"I haven't seen this drama; who knew I could step on a mine so precisely on the chaotic Soul Net!"

The two silently and tacitly closed in on Xiang Xiang Naer from left and right; Xiang Xiang Naer finally realized sitting in the middle was such a wrong choice, with nowhere to hide!

Xiang Xiang Naer was like a silver-white puppy trapped between two pitch-black evil dogs; she swallowed hard, turned her head, and cast a look for help toward Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen:

"This is indeed my fault; I am very sorry to hurt your eyes and ears. Give us a way out!"

"What way out do you want?"

Xiang Xiang Naer raised one finger and said solemnly: "You order a cup of milk tea in Tiandou City, and I will punish myself by drinking one."

"Huh? Is that how you apologize?"

"Full sugar; fatten myself to death!"

"..."

Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen leaned back slightly, his gaze passing over Xiang Xiang Naer to rest on Gu Yue's speechless face, and said: "Help me out; she's ticklish. I'll promote you to core disciple early."

Hearing the four words "core disciple," Gu Yue's black eyes instantly lit up; she immediately rolled up her sleeves, revealing two snow-white lotus arms, and her sinful palm approached Xiang Xiang Naer's armpit, her tone as cold as a judgment:

"Repent!"

"Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen, you betrayed me!"

Xiang Xiang Naer was shocked and accused Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen of exposing her old secrets; then Gu Yue surged forward and suppressed her fiercely. Xiang Xiang Naer resisted unyieldingly, their ink-black and silver-white long hair intertwined, you in me and me in you, like a magnificent painting.

After a struggle in the cramped space, Xiang Xiang Naer laughed until she was weak, and Gu Yue won with a huge advantage; after all, she was one of the victims, standing on the moral high ground and holding Xiang Xiang Naer's weakness, so victory was inevitable!

The two girls' pretty faces flushed with charming peach-red, their breathing somewhat heavy as they smoothed their wrinkled clothes. The noise just now was truly loud; fortunately, the spiritual power shield blocked the sound, disturbing no other passengers.

After the play, the three returned to normal. Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen admired the scenery along the way, Xiang Xiang Naer switched back to her old trade of reading novels—the classic "Domineering Angel Loves Me," and Gu Yue sat quietly, checking the hidden secrets of the Spirit Tower she could access.

The Soul Tool train sped through the twilight, cutting the sunset glow outside the window into fragments of golden light; the rails shook rhythmically, and drowsiness attacked as Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen's eyelids gradually grew heavy.

The journey was about one-third complete, with still a considerable distance to go; Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen rested his forearm on the window edge, propping his head with his hand, planning to sleep for a while to nurture his fragile spirit.

"Don't sleep leaning against the window; it's uncomfortable."

Noticing Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen's movement, Xiang Xiang Naer hummed lightly, her slender white fingers hooking the falling silver hair and flipping it to the other side. The dim yellow sunlight slanted through her hair, gilding every strand with brilliant gold; the waves of hair surged, overflowing with a faint fragrance, like a gardenia dipped in morning dew falling into a sandalwood box.

"The wound of betrayal never heals, but King Xiang Xiang Naer is beautiful and kind-hearted, so I'll take care of you, sickly one.

Here, lend you half a shoulder."

Xiang Xiang Naer tilted Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen's forehead against her shoulder, leaned in, and adjusted her sitting posture to make him sleep as comfortably as possible.

The young girl's body was warm and soft; Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen felt like leaning against fragrant jade. With every breath, a light vibration came from beneath his forehead, and his nostrils were filled with the crisp fragrance of a broken citrus branch.

"Thank you."

"No thanks needed; you'll have to repay it later."

In his drowsiness, Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen saw the butterfly shadows cast by Xiang Xiang Naer's eyelashes, her pearl-white teeth lightly biting her red lips, which glistened with coral-colored moisture.

Moments later, Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen's breathing became deep and long; Xiang Xiang Naer quietly tugged at her slipping clothes, making the fabric pad that handsome profile more neatly.

Lowering her head to gaze at his peaceful, quiet sleeping face, Xiang Xiang Naer's brows and eyes were filled with tenderness; suddenly, she felt a surge of motherly love, then turned to look at Gu Yue, whose expression was incredibly complex. Compressing her spiritual power into a line, she transmitted a voice:

"Actually, I like Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen entering a brief period of weakness; that way I can take care of him."

Truly a deep friendship of childhood sweethearts. From an observer's perspective, Gu Yue felt the intimate relationship the two had cultivated since childhood, her gaze Solemn and serious.

Don't misunderstand; Gu Yue is absolutely not the type to give up lightly. Instead, she felt that snatching Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen from Xiang Xiang Naer's hands was becoming more and more rewarding; a woman like an eagle never fears challenges!

The Soul Tool train sped forward toward Tiandou City. Midway, a train attendant pushed a food cart through each carriage, selling snacks and drinks.

The attendant was a young woman, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with delicate features; her well-tailored dark blue uniform outlined her curvaceous figure.

"Hello, I want a bottle of water."

A passenger in front of the three stopped the attendant, handing over a fifty-unit Federal coin. As the attendant gave change, Gu Yue, sitting on the far outside, suddenly frowned; four men in black clothes appeared at the front and back of the carriage, their auras openly locking onto the smiling attendant.

"Looks like there's trouble."

Gu Yue patted Xiang Xiang Naer's thigh.

"You handle it; don't let them disturb Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen's sleep," Xiang Xiang Naer said lazily. "Go for it; I support you!"

Gu Yue rolled a beautiful white eye, turned her head, and refused to deal with Xiang Xiang Naer; in a trio, one must be the victim, and she was that hardworking, unfortunate soul!

The men in black caught the signal from their companion to act, simultaneously bursting forward to attack the attendant. Soul power fluctuations spread out; all four were Soul Masters, two at the first ring and two at the second ring!

This was an organized and premeditated attack, targeting the seemingly ordinary attendant!

Four crystal-clear ice spikes sprouted, with bone-chilling, grim coldness. The second-ring Soul Master was shocked and immediately released a soul skill to resist; the first-ring Soul Master naturally lacked such reaction speed. The ice spikes instantly pierced the feet of the two first-ring Soul Masters, and screams echoed through the entire carriage!

The sudden attack triggered panic among the passengers, with cries of alarm rising one after another!

"Who are you!"

The attendant quickly stood up, holding a Soul Tool ray gun, and shouted loudly.

"There are Soul Masters in this carriage..."

A second-ring Soul Master stared at Gu Yue with a sinister expression; this little girl radiated soul power fluctuations, but the intensity was not high, merely level twenty-one. They were both level twenty-five Great Soul Masters; taking her down two against one was no problem!

With this thought, he simply stopped pretending and said openly: "Mo Lan, we have been watching you for a long time. Tell your father to release the group captured in Tiandou City three months ago!

Otherwise, you and everyone on the train will die!"

The attendant, Mo Lan, gripped her Soul Tool ray gun tightly. Her father was Mo Wu, the governor of Tiandou City and a Federal Senator, an ordinary person with immense power.

As the daughter of an ordinary person, Mo Lan did not awaken innate soul power. She did not become a noble lady indulging in pleasure, nor did she use her father's influence to go into business or politics; instead, she resolutely chose to go to the grassroots level and become an ordinary train attendant.

Blending with the masses was a noble act, but unfortunately, Mo Lan ignored her binding with her father; being an attendant meant a lack of security. Once her identity was investigated, desperate criminals directly used her as a breakthrough point to target Mo Wu!

"My father arrested Evil Soul Masters; releasing them would bring endless trouble!" Mo Lan thought silently. "But how innocent are the passengers on this train..."

This group dared to attack, proving they feared no train security. Calling for a mecha battalion to support would take time; with hundreds or thousands of lives at stake, the mecha battalion could not assault the carriage directly. Mo Lan was momentarily torn between two difficult choices.

The next second, someone made the decision for her!

Gu Yue!

What are you muttering about? Eat my Elemental Combination Technique!

The first soul ring ignites, indigo wind elements and crimson fire elements fuse, condensing into fireballs of mixed green and red; wind fuels the fire, fire borrows the wind's might—the wind and fire elements achieve an effect greater than one plus one!

"Boom—"

The Silver Long Wang's inherited elemental control needs no elaboration; the fireballs bombard the Evil Soul Masters, scorching flames erupt, charring their outer skin black, followed immediately by hidden wind blades whistling forth, piercing the brittle shell and savagely slicing the Evil Soul Masters' bodies!

In this attack, Gu Yue thoughtfully erected two earthen walls to prevent the aftereffects of the fireballs and the bloody scene from frightening the children!

Four Evil Soul Masters lay on the ground, covered in blood and unable to rise; the only one whose martial soul favored physical strength barely held onto a breath, trembling as he shouted into the walkie-talkie at his chest: "Second Squad, Third Squad, Mo Lan is in Carriage Seven, come support immediately!"

"Received! Received!"

"No, we have six here..."

The Second Squad replied in time, but the Third Squad's words cut off abruptly, leaving only the crackling sound of electric current.

Mo Lan demonstrated psychological quality surpassing ordinary people, taking out a walkie-talkie and speaking in a deep voice: "Report to the Train Conductor, at least three groups of Evil Soul Masters have appeared inside the carriage; one group in Carriage Seven has been eliminated, and the remaining two groups are approaching Carriage Seven!

Please activate the emergency weapon lockers, carry weapons to support, remain calm, and do not alarm the passengers!"

Having finished speaking, Mo Lan bowed solemnly to Gu Yue: "Miss Soul Master, thank you for extending your hand of help!"

"Mm."

Gu Yue shrugged indifferently, nodded, stood tall in the center of the carriage, and quietly waited for the next wave of Evil Soul Masters.

"Brothers, kill her!"

In less than a minute, two Evil Soul Masters rushed over, both being Two-Ring Great Soul Masters; the moment they appeared, Gu Yue, Mo Lan, and even Xiang Xiang Naer's temples throbbed instantly; those two were clearly clutching high-explosive soul tool incendiary bombs, already set on a timer!

Bomb-type soul tools are terrifyingly so; Level Nine Fixed Soul Artillery Shells remain the military's ultimate weapon to this day, and those three God-Slaying Soul Tool Bombs, which gathered the pinnacle of an era's technology, are the authority among authorities!

"I'm truly done!"

Xiang Xiang Naer burned with anger; after finally enjoying a warm moment, how could fate be so treacherous!

Straightening Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen, Xiang Xiang Naer charged at the Evil Soul Masters, her pupils contracting, silver radiance overflowing from the corners of her eyes like stars, fine cracks appearing out of thin air, the void seeming to be crushed inch by inch by invisible force.

The Evil Soul Master's bone knife was about to stab down, but the eye sockets inlaid with scarlet ghost fire instantly froze; a beam of light shot from Xiang Xiang Naer's eyes, like countless spiraling silver threads, creating spiderweb-like spatial tears along the path; the fissures crazily devoured light, dyeing the Evil Soul Master's expression of fear into a distorted black-and-white silent film.

External Soul Bone Evil Eye, Light of Shattered Void!

That Evil Eye Tyrant was originally a descendant of the Evil Emperor, a noble pure spiritual-type soul beast; when its cultivation broke through a thousand years, its bloodline reverted to its ancestors, comprehending the power of space. The Evil Eye Soul Bone inherited spatial power, fused with Xiang Xiang Naer's own spiritual and spatial attributes, giving birth to this Light of Shattered Void!

Space and spirit, two attributes famous for being impossible to defend against; moreover, Evil Soul Masters cultivate by devouring life, so in most cases their spirits are quite chaotic; the Light of Shattered Void is instantly fatal, blowing two fine heads into bloody flowers!

Following Xiang Xiang Naer's footsteps, Gu Yue teleported before the Evil Soul Master corpses; with a flash of silver light, the two women cooperatively used the power of space to teleport the high-explosive incendiary bombs to the distant high sky outside the carriage, and the sound of the explosion roared violently!

The bomb threat was neutralized; the two women instinctively looked at each other, then in perfect unison turned their heads; Gu Yue said dissatisfied: "Meddling, I am enough on my own."

Xiang Xiang Naer pouted: "What if you make a mistake? Wouldn't the two of us be blown up with you?"

"Hmph—"

Cooperation aside, they couldn't let the bickering go; with no external enemies, the two halves of the Silver Dragon Kings viewed each other as arch-enemies!

"Damn... how dare you ruin my plan!"

A furious voice rang out inside the carriage; a passenger sitting in a row of three suddenly stood up, his body continuously swelling, three soul rings—one purple and two yellow—rising beneath his feet!

Three-Ring Evil Soul Venerable, Martial Soul Skeleton!

The Skeleton Soul Venerable was the mastermind; three months ago, a batch of Evil Soul Masters was captured in Tiandou City, including the Skeleton Soul Venerable's own brother; today he planned this attack, aiming to use Mo Lan to threaten Mo Wu into releasing his brother, who would have thought two young girls would disrupt everything!

"Third Soul Skill, Claw of Death!"

The Skeleton Soul Venerable's pair of palms turned into white bones, and a terrifying aura of death spread out. Hidden among the passengers, he had witnessed Xiang Xiang Naer and Gu Yue's overwhelming combat power with his own eyes; even with an extra soul ring, he had no confidence in defeating the two women.

Therefore, this Claw of Death did not foolishly attack them, nor the easily manipulatable Mo Lan. The Skeleton Soul Venerable wanted to make the two women hesitate to strike for fear of harming a hostage, so he decisively chose Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen, who looked pale and had been sleeping on Xiang Xiang Naer's shoulder earlier!

Combat is secondary, attacking the heart is primary; capture the companions you protect and value first—that is a smart villain boss!

"Ah, this..."

Xiang Xiang Naer and Gu Yue sniffed, their two beautiful faces showing profound respect!

Evil Soul Master, quite a character!

The Claw of Death reached toward Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen; the Skeleton Soul Venerable's lips curled into a ferocious smile; the next instant, he saw a pair of pitch-black pupils, as if hiding an endless starry sky, a depth that went straight into the heart, sucking in the soul!

Both palms erupted with a long roar like a dragon's cry; Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen spread his ten fingers, and ten claw shadows wrapped in dark gold flowing light broke through the air!

The left and right metacarpal bones of the Dark Golden Terror Claw Bear carry the soul skill, Dark Golden Terror Claw!

The chest armor of the Skeleton Soul Venerable, forged from over a hundred human spines, shattered; the Dark Golden Terror Claws pierced the bone armor, and deep purple bone marrow gushed from the ten perforations; the shriek of the air being torn apart finally rippled out belatedly.

The wind pressure generated by Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen retracting his palms lifted the Skeleton Soul Venerable's clothes; the latter slowly lowered his head, his soul power flickering, revealing a light-transmitting hollow in his chest; the remaining dark gold sharp edges along the bone patterns continued to destroy crazily.

Evil soul power oozing from the bone seams attempted to repair itself, but upon touching the residual power of the Dark Golden Terror Claw, it let out a mournful wail like a baby crying.

"Meeting Evil Soul Masters on a train... isn't that my character setting..."

Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen flicked the dripping bone marrow from his fingertips, looking at the Skeleton Soul Venerable kneeling heavily on the ground and murmuring softly.

Just a few days in the void; even if True was sitting in a wheelchair or lying in bed, he could handle an Evil Soul Venerable with one hand!

In Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen's inherent cognition, an Evil Soul Venerable was trash; an Evil Soul King, however, deserved some attention; the tragic lessons of the Limit Douluo S2 season were still vivid in his mind!

Mo Lan ran over, thanking profusely: "Thank you three Soul Masters for eliminating harm for the people; otherwise, who knows how big this incident would have grown!"

"Just a small favor," Xiang Xiang Naer said with a smile, "there's another batch of Evil Soul Masters, right? We'll go take them out on the way."

"Three of you need not act," Mo Lan said gratefully, "news just came that Soul Emperor Wu Wu Changkong and Soul Master Tang Tang Wulin have already dealt with the attackers on the other side."

Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen raised an eyebrow; who? The Train Killer!

Tang Tang Wulin, you're setting us up!
