UNRIVALED TANG SECT : Sharing Life With Firefly (Doulou 2)

Ye Guyi's choice was understandable.

Under the sacred and peaceful aura of the Bird of Paradise, any creature would let go of its fighting spirit.

Even a 10,000-year-old soul beast would be affected, let alone Ye Guyi.

If they were to kill this Bird of Paradise, they would undoubtedly carry regrets in their hearts.

It was better to give up and choose to hunt other light attribute soul beasts.

Liuxing and the others lingered near the Bird of Paradise for a while longer before turning to leave the valley.

Since there was a Bird of Paradise here, there should be other light attribute soul beasts nearby.

"Chirp!"

The Bird of Paradise chirped again, as if bidding them farewell.

At that moment, a hoarse voice echoed from one part of the valley, "A Bird of Paradise? How disgusting."

From below the valley, a gray-black light burst forth, heading straight for the Bird of Paradise.

The light carried an evil aura, and wherever it passed, the nearby plants withered, leaving behind a foul stench.

The Bird of Paradise let out a sharp cry, and the white light around its body transformed into a protective barrier.

However, the gray-black light was too powerful. After all, the Bird of Paradise was only a hundred-year-old soul beast.

"Not good!" Luan Yu's hand flashed with an ice-blue sword, its hilt carved with a phoenix, and the blade adorned with intricate patterns. She hurled the sword in haste.

"Who's there?"

The same unpleasant, hoarse voice sounded again, and a blue-black skull suddenly rose into the air, opening its bloody maw and biting down on Luan Yu's sword energy.

Luan Yu was not a traditional soul master, and her sword energy lacked true sword intent.

Her strength was also not particularly high. If she were a traditional soul master, the blue-black skull wouldn't have dared to be so brazen.

With this delay, the gray-black light pierced through the Bird of Paradise's defensive barrier, striking its body.

The Bird of Paradise let out a sorrowful cry and tumbled down from the mountaintop, rolling down the hillside. It seemed to still be alive.

Luan Yu roared in anger, throwing out an ice-blue crystal ball.

Endless cold air erupted, and snow began to fall in the valley in the middle of June.

The blue-black skull twisted and contorted, its light and shadow flickering, revealing a pale human face.

The face was androgynous, with countless disgusting blue-black maggots crawling across it.

At the same time, nine soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and five black, flashed brightly, and the aura of a Title Douluo surged forth.

Luan Yu's expression changed. Her Ice Phoenix Sword also had nine soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and five black, shining brightly.

The ice-blue bead above her head released a cold ice barrier in front of the four meteors.

"Huh? A Title Douluo? A Rank 9 Soul Engineer?"

The blue-black face first leered at Luan Yu, captivated by her bewitching beauty, then glanced greedily at the ninth-level soul tool above her head, the Ice Spirit Divine Light Bead.

His eyes rolled, and though he was tempted by Luan Yu's body, the other party was also a Title Douluo and possessed a ninth-level soul tool.

He might not be able to win in a direct confrontation. If the battle attracted a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, it would be troublesome.

"An evil soul master?"

Luan Yu's face darkened. The other party's appearance and the evil aura he exuded made it hard not to suspect he was an evil soul master.

Ye Guyi stared at the blue-black face, her expression filled with murderous intent. Her small face was icy cold.

Not only had the other party killed the Bird of Paradise that had brought her warmth, but she also instinctively disliked him and wanted to reduce him to ashes.

Liuxing's heart sank. Their luck was terrible!

They had unexpectedly encountered a Title Douluo-level evil soul master.

Aunt Yu might not be a match for him. Evil soul masters were known for their bizarre methods, often capable of fighting above their level.

Aunt Yu's combat prowess was questionable, she was only a 92nd-level Title Douluo and primarily a soul engineer.

While the Ice Spirit Divine Light Bead was powerful, the distance between the two sides was neither too far nor too close.

If they could create some distance, they might have a chance, but the other party wasn't foolish enough to give them that opportunity.

Luan Yu regretted her carelessness.

Since they were on the outskirts of the Evil Demon Forest, she had assumed there were no soul beasts that could threaten a Title Douluo, so she had let her guard down.

She hadn't noticed the presence of a Title Douluo-level evil soul master until he made his move.

Why would a Title Douluo-level evil soul master appear on the outskirts of the Demon Forest?

Luan Yu was deeply puzzled. Judging by the other party's appearance, he hadn't just obtained his ninth soul ring, and there were no juniors with him. What was he doing in the Demon Forest?

Meanwhile, Masquerade Douluo was also feeling frustrated.

As soon as he left the headquarters, he encountered a divine attribute soul beast, which he found disgusting.

He could have killed it easily, but then ran into a ninth-level soul engineer who had brought her juniors to hunt for soul beasts.

He was only a 91st-level Title Douluo.

Although he was confident he could defeat the other party with his unique methods, he didn't want to attract attention, especially from hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.

That would be too high-profile, and it wasn't the right time for the Holy Spirit Cult to be exposed.

Moreover, the Holy Spirit Cult had just established contact with a prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, and there were signs of potential cooperation.

If he killed a ninth-level soul engineer from the Sun and Moon Empire here, it could jeopardize the budding alliance, and the sect leader would not spare him.

With this in mind, Masquerade Douluo decided to retreat. Winning the battle would only bring temporary satisfaction but also a lot of trouble. Losing would be even worse. This was a fight he couldn't afford to take.

Although evil soul masters were often mentally unstable, none who reached the level of Title Douluo were fools.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have survived long enough to become Title Douluo.

"What? Do you want to avenge this soul beast? Since when have humans been so close to soul beasts?" Masquerade Douluo sneered in his hoarse voice.

"Your Excellency, this Bird of Paradise was our target. You killed it without warning. Don't you owe us an explanation?" Luan Yu replied, knowing she couldn't show any weakness.

If she did, the other party might attack immediately. If they could resolve this peacefully, it would be best for both sides to retreat.

If she were alone, she would have fought, but with the four juniors present, they couldn't withstand the aftermath of a Title Douluo-level battle.
