Chapter 228

Li Wu knocked on the door in front of him in the pattern of three long and one short, then held his breath and waited.

Soon, the door opened, and the black-clad person who opened it saw his appearance and couldn't help but frown.

"What's going on with you, kid? Why didn't you come dressed in white and a Douli (Hat) (Hat) (Hat) as required?"

Li Wu said tremblingly, "Sir, spare me, my crafted soul tool artillery shell exploded, and I accidentally got your clothes wrapped up in it; please give me another one."

"Tsk, useless thing."

The black-clad person didn't suspect anything; according to his knowledge, Li Wu was indeed a third-rank soul tool master.

"Come in."

After saying that, he turned and led Li Wu inside.

Li Wu let out a breath, glanced at the silver little bird on the beam, and gave a look.

Soon, a person wearing white clothing and a Douli (Hat) (Hat) (Hat) walked into the courtyard and knocked on the door.

Not long after, the door was opened, and the black-clad person looked at the white-clad person before him, a flicker of doubt in his eyes.

"Are you the newcomer?"

The white-clad person didn't reply; just as he was about to press further, he suddenly felt a chill at his neck, then a spinning sensation, and his head fell to the ground.

Behind him, Tang Wulin put away his Golden Dragon Spear expressionlessly.

When the black-clad person opened the door, he didn't notice the celestial mechanism bird on the beam using instant movement to enter the house and appear behind him.

Then Zhou Sichen used displacement, swapping Tang Wulin to his back, and without hesitation fired a shot.

This black-clad person only had four-ring cultivation; facing the Golden Dragon Spear, a divine artifact, he was as fragile as paper and lost his life instantly.

Tang Wulin and Gongyang Mo, who was dressed in white, exchanged a glance, then walked together into the house.

Soon, they ran into another black-clad person.

Seeing Tang Wulin, this black-clad person was startled, about to shout, when a golden light flashed; the Golden Dragon Spear pinned him to the wall, and his body quickly turned to ash under its devouring ability.

Gongyang Mo gave Tang Wulin a thumbs-up, his eyes full of admiration.

As a support-type soul master, he himself isn't very strong in combat, so his comfort during missions often depends on his teammates' quality.

Tang Wulin, as a teammate, is undoubtedly top-tier; his strength is more than enough, and his actions are decisive and fierce, even making Gongyang Mo feel this kid isn't on his first mission—his future is limitless.

At least, when he first undertook a mission, he couldn't have been as calm and decisive as Tang Wulin.

After walking forward for a distance, the two arrived before a black wall.

At first glance it seemed they had reached a dead end, but thanks to Li Wu's intelligence, they knew it wasn't.

They looked at each other, confirmed each other's resolve, then felt along the wall; as the mechanism was pressed, the wall slowly slid open.

Opposite the wall, several black-clad people sat beside an altar, white light flowing upon it, seemingly souls; many white-clad people stood by the wall, their gazes at the altar filled with reluctance. Hearing the sound of the wall opening, those inside turned to look.

What they saw was a golden long dragon.

"Ao——"

Tang Wulin's first and third soul rings lit up simultaneously, and with the aid of his Golden Dragon Body he released the Golden Dragon Roar.

At the same time, he stomped his left foot hard, gripped the Golden Dragon Spear, and surged forward.

How could the Holy Spirit Sect people have expected such an attack waiting for them on the other side of the wall? Caught off guard, they were all stunned; those with cultivation below six rings even had blood welling up in their mouths, and even the leading Soul Saint–rank Evil Soul Master couldn't help but stiffen.

Tang Wulin, taking advantage of his stiffness, had already rushed to his front.

Rainbow dragon light flowed over his body; Tang Wulin thrust his spear fiercely at the Holy Spirit Elder, instantly piercing the elder's body.

"Ah——"

However, this Holy Spirit Elder, being a Soul Saint–rank powerhouse, subtly shifted his body before being struck, thus avoiding a vital point.

At this moment he felt his life force rushing wildly toward the spear, his eyes nearly bursting; his seven soul rings rose, the second yellow one lighting up.

Instantly, his body became much harder, his surface turned white, and his hands turned into white bone as they reached for Tang Wulin.

Martial Soul Bone General, second soul skill Bone Armor.

Tang Wulin's expression didn't change; he didn't even dodge, golden dragon scales appeared all over his body, and with a "ding" he actually blocked the blow outright.

As long as one absorbs a dragon elixir, one's physique can rival a dragon's; after Tang Wulin simultaneously absorbed the dragon elixir and ten-thousand-year dragon blood lingzhi, his bodily strength had already reached monstrous levels, so an attack of this magnitude wasn't particularly strong for him, let alone with Gongyang Mo's assistance.

After Gongyang Mo reached six rings, all his soul skills' effects increased by sixty percent; now, with the aid of the Golden Dragon King bloodline, his support for Tang Wulin reached an astonishing hundred percent boost to all attributes—let alone the second soul skill of a Soul Saint, Tang Wulin even felt that his current self could have a good chance against a Titled Douluo in battle.

Seeing this, the Holy Spirit Elder's face completely changed; although the bone armor somewhat restrained the Golden Dragon Spear's absorption of his life force, the speed remained fast, and before long he would be sucked dry into a husk.

Helplessly, his seventh black soul ring lit up.

He judged that only the Martial Soul True Body could deal with this kid before him.

Instantly, the Holy Spirit Elder's body began to rapidly swell, turning entirely white, and he actually transformed into a gigantic skeleton; the part pierced by the Golden Dragon Spear was no longer flesh but hard bone.

This was the second Soul Saint Tang Wulin had faced after Wu Ming, and also his second encounter with a Martial Soul True Body; compared to Wu Ming's pure strength, the Holy Spirit Elder's Martial Soul True Body exuded a nauseating yin-evil aura.

Tang Wulin could feel that his Natural Son martial soul had developed a strong aversion to this guy, and that aversion showed in his emotions, making his eyes colder.

At this point, the other few Evil Soul Masters had basically broken free from the Golden Dragon Roar's effect, each releasing their martial souls, faces full of killing intent, ready to attack Tang Wulin.

Then, a ring of blue-gold light spread out, enveloping everyone, as countless Blue Silver Emperors burst from the ground and wound around those Evil Soul Masters.

At the same time, Tang Wulin seized the time bought by the Blue Silver Emperors and charged again at the Holy Spirit Elder before him.

To capture the bandits, first capture their leader; only after dealing with this greatest foe could he safely handle the minor lackeys nearby.
