Chapter 173: The Strongest Soul King, the Death Messenger! Explosion is Art! (5K Team Wiped Out!)
Following the direction from which the rooster's crowing came, Xuan Zi approached quickly like a ghost, and his level 98 soul power was used directly to steal the chicken.

He really likes eating chicken legs!
In the entire Douluo Continent, he is probably the only Titled Douluo who would use up his soul power just to catch a few chickens, right?
But it must be said that the effect was very good. Until he reached the branch above the Xu Kun Chicken, the Xu Kun Chicken under his feet did not notice his arrival.

"Not bad, not bad! It's actually a whole nest. Not only are there two Xu Kun chickens, one male and one female, but I also happened to encounter eggs that they only lay once every two and a half years!" Xuan Zi swallowed and looked at the two Xu Kun chickens under his feet with shining eyes.

There are two types of Xu Kun chickens, one male and one female. They do not have combs on their heads like normal chickens. Instead, they have two tufts of hair that are symmetrically separated from the middle and fall on both sides of the head. The hair color of male and female Xu Kun chickens is also different.

The male Xukun chicken has light yellow hair on its head, orange-red feathers on its body, and blue hairless claws.

The female Xu Kun chicken has gray hair, black feathers, and gray claws. Compared to the bright male, the female looks a little ordinary.

Xuanzi grinned and appeared in front of the two Xukun chickens in an instant. He grabbed the chicken's claws in each hand and picked up both chickens.

The two frightened Xu Kun chickens suddenly let out sharp screams.

"Chicken you are so beautiful!!!"

"What are you doing~~~~Haha ouch~"

Xuanzi frowned and broke the necks of the two Xukun chickens, which made them calm down.

"Alas, although the meat of this Xu Kun chicken is indeed delicious and its number is extremely rare, its cry is too weird, isn't it?" Xuan Zi said to himself with a pout, and then threw the two chickens into the soul guide, and took away several eggs that would lay a nest only after two and a half years.

Lao Deng, who returned with a full load, disappeared in an instant, with only a few barely audible words gone with the wind.

"Hehehe, great harvest, great harvest, let's go find a place to drink and eat chicken!"

"Jiejiejiejie~"

……

On the other side, Shrek and his companions finally arrived outside the cave where the messenger of death was hiding.

Due to the ability of the Messenger of Death, he would not casually discard corpses, which are excellent detonators. Therefore, apart from a strong smell of blood at the entrance of the cave, there were no corpses or broken limbs.

But just by smelling the blood, Shrek and his crew became alert.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng looked at each other secretly, and then reached across his waist. A golden gem flashed quietly, and the faint lines of the core magic circle could be vaguely seen on the surface of the gem.

This is the invincible shield, one of the soul master's signature life-saving abilities.

Even though this is only a level five invincible shield, attacks from those below the Titled Douluo level can at least protect Ning Tian and Wu Feng for three seconds, unless the attacks continue until the soul power used to maintain the invincible shield is exhausted.

These three seconds are enough, not to mention that each of them has five invincible shields.

"Ning Tian, ​​remember, the invincible shield must be hidden well and never exposed."

"Why, Brother Yun? Since the invincible shield can save your life, why not give a few more to the seniors? They are not worth much anyway, and it can also make them feel good about our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

'Haha, you don't understand this. Most of the Shrek students, whether they are from the inner or outer courtyards, look down on soul guides. Moreover, they are all inner courtyard disciples and have already carried out countless missions. If you rashly give them the invincible shield, it will be more like a kind of contempt and humiliation to them. They will not remember your favor!'

"I see... I understand, Brother Yun!"

"Well, it's good that you understand. If they blame you for not taking out the invincible shield in advance, you can say that you didn't prepare it in advance, and only you and Wu Feng each brought one to save your life at the critical moment!"

'...'

Recalling the conversation between him and Lin Yun that night, Ning Tian gently bit his lower lip with his pearly teeth.

She didn't understand why Lin Yun did this, and she also vaguely felt that Lin Yun seemed to have great hostility towards Shrek and seemed to be planning something secretly.

Ning Tian is not stupid, she can see that.

After all, she is the young master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The training she received since childhood is not comparable to that of Huo Yuhao, a peasant born from a slave family. Although in Lin Yun's opinion, her vision is not high enough or broad enough, she has her own judgment on many things.

"If Brother Yun and I weren't friends, maybe he wouldn't even remind me of these things, right?" Watching the people in front of me walk into the cave one by one, the dark and deep cave was like a bloody mouth, as if it wanted to swallow everyone up.

No one came. Ning Tian shuddered slightly, and goose bumps appeared on his smooth arms. His eyes became a little frightened as he looked at the cave.

Why……

Why do I have this feeling of fear?

Is it because of Brother Yun's previous warning that I subconsciously feel the crisis? But isn't Master Xuan watching in secret? No matter how big the crisis is, can it surpass the Titled Douluo?
Ning Tian was full of doubts and even had some cold sweat on his back.

"Xiaofeng, protect yourself!" Ning Tianxia spoke softly subconsciously.

Wu Feng turned his head and glanced at Ning Tian, ​​and that pretty face with a hint of paleness and fear appeared in Wu Feng's eyes.

"I will definitely protect you." Wu Feng said gently.

Even if I die, I will never let you get hurt!
Resurrection, my...

Sorry for the interruption.

"I'm fine, let's go and follow them!" The fear in Ning Tian's eyes faded a lot, and an elegant smile bloomed on her pretty face. After nodding slightly to Wu Feng, she took a step and followed the people in front.

However, Ning Tian didn't think about what Wu Feng said before at this time. Instead, he gently stroked the invincible shield around his waist with his small hand. Looking at the bright golden light, Ning Tian felt that there seemed to be a tall and majestic figure around him that made him feel safe.

'You will protect me, right?'

……

As for Ning Tian’s future.

Ma Xiaotao and others have completely entered the cave. Looking at the bloody scene in the passage, Ma Xiaotao and others all look very ugly.

Jiang Nannan and Huo Yuhao from the reserve team were even paler, and Wang Dong also ran to the corner, holding his stomach and vomiting rainbows.

Too cruel!

There were broken limbs and arms that were not seen outside the cave, but they could be seen almost everywhere inside the cave. The surface of the gravel and stones was stained with a strong blood color. On the top of the head and the surrounding mountain walls, there were many pieces of flesh that were still dripping with blood, fixed with sharp swords and daggers.

Huo Yuhao even saw a complete piece of flesh and skin. Judging from the appearance of the flesh and skin, it was probably peeled off from a young child.

“Asshole…!” Dai Yueheng roared in a low voice, his eyes were red, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable anger.

This is within the territory of the Star Luo Empire. All the people who died here are citizens of the Star Luo Empire!

If Dai Yuheng saw those lowly civilians on the street, he would not even bother to give them a glance, but when he saw so many corpses here, he felt a surge of rage in his heart.

You bastard evil soul master, you actually dared to kill so many fully automatic cotton pickers in my Xingluo Empire!
He has a way to die!
The other inner court disciples were also filled with rage, their teeth chattering.

Even though they were all under the age of twenty, they were all inner court disciples of Shrek and had carried out many supervisory missions. However, this was the first time even for them to see such a bloody scene.

"Rush in and kill them!" Ma Xiaotao, who had the hottest temper, took the lead. Her huge flaming phoenix wings spread out instantly, and six soul rings followed closely and circled around her.

boom!
The scorching flames suddenly erupted, and Ma Xiaotao flapped her phoenix wings and flew rapidly in the cave with the terrifying high temperature, and wherever she passed was as if she was in an empty place.

Those bandits who heard the noise were attacked by Ma Xiaotao with a stream of soul power that pierced their hearts and burned their internal organs.

Others are not far behind.

The Soul-Chasing Sword in Chen Zifeng's hand exuded a strong murderous aura. His body turned into a beam of sword light and shuttled around, bringing up splashes of blood wherever he passed. Every time he swung the sword, a bandit who had done many evil things had his throat cut open.

Dai Yuheng was even more brutal, using the White Tiger Body Barrier and the White Tiger Vajra Transformation to tear open the bandits' bodies one by one with his two hands transformed into tiger claws. Xixi's presence was greatly reduced, holding two sharp daggers in her hands, attacking from tricky angles, slitting the bandits' throats one by one, or stabbing them in the heart from behind.

Every move is fatal.

In this kind of battle, Ling Luochen, a control-type soul master, couldn't do much. She just condensed her ice staff and froze the bandits who ran out of the interconnected tunnels in ice.

Yao Haoxuan and Gong Yangmo followed behind the people in front and used their soul skills to assist them.

By the time the reserve team walked into the cave, the bandits had almost all been killed by Ma Xiaotao and his team. The first thing Ning Tian and his team saw was Dai Yueheng tearing a Soul King-level bandit in half with his tiger claws, with blood and internal organs splattering everywhere.

This way of killing is somewhat similar to tearing the Japanese apart with bare hands.

Ning Tian and the others, who had been enduring all the way, retreated back to the passage and vomited violently while holding onto the wall when they saw the bloodier scene in the cave.

Even the teacher Wang Yan had an unsightly expression, his weak little face turned pale with fear. If it wasn't for the need to maintain his image as a teacher, his reaction would probably not be much better than those little guys in the reserve team.

Just when the people in the reserve team were vomiting and the Death Hand bandit gang of nearly a hundred people was almost wiped out, a sharp and gloomy voice rang out.

"How dare you! You dare to go against the great messenger of death? You will all die! I will turn all of you into my corpse slaves!"

After hearing this voice, the remnants of the bandit group, who had already begun to feel fear, suddenly became energized, their faces flushed and they roared loudly, rushing towards Ma Xiaotao and the others without caring about their own lives.

At the same time, whether it was the corpses of those who had died long ago in the cave, or the members of the bandit gang killed by Ma Xiaotao and the others, the skin of the corpses was rapidly turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the corpses were also expanding rapidly.

Huo Yuhao, who was vomiting violently, was immediately scared to death after seeing this scene through mental detection.

In order to ensure safety, no matter how bloody and cruel the situation was, Huo Yuhao always maintained mental detection, but he did not share it with others.

And in his perception, those corpses were gathering energy at a terrifying speed, even making his spirit tremble with fear.

"Be careful!!!"

Huo Yuhao had just opened his mouth when the corpses' expansion reached its limit, and then...

Explode instantly!

boom! ! !
boom! ! !
Explosions continued to sound one after another, and every corpse seemed to have turned into a powerful fixed-type soul-guided shell. Ma Xiaotao and the other seven were the first to be affected by the power of the explosion!

Because the Messenger of Death shouted a voice unique to NPCs before he came out, Ma Xiaotao and the others subconsciously wanted to click on the interaction panel with the NPC. They didn't even retreat, but instead moved forward a lot.

But they never imagined that this was not an NPC at all, but the strongest soul king on the list who had no martial ethics and used sneak attacks!
Pure old six!

The terrifying explosion instantly swept across the entire cave. When Ning Tian and Wu Feng heard Huo Yuhao shouting to be careful, they decisively patted their waists, and two golden shields instantly enveloped them.

Although Jiang Nannan was a step slow, when she was blown away by the explosion, she spat out a mouthful of blood in the air, and she activated her invincible golden body in time, and then slammed heavily into the mountain wall.

However, with the protection of the invincible golden body, she did not suffer any secondary damage, but only suffered some internal injuries from the power of the first wave of explosion.

Huo Yuhao was fine. Although the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm liked to sleep, it still cared about Huo Yuhao, the host who helped it become a god. The moment it sensed the crisis, it released a part of its origin, forming a transparent shield that enveloped Huo Yuhao.

And Wang Dong...

It was quite outrageous. He happened to be standing behind Huo Yuhao. When he subconsciously raised his hands, closed his eyes and waited for the explosion, he found that he was fine.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Huo Yuhao standing in front of him. The back that originally seemed very clumsy to him now seemed more generous and safe.

Look at the people in the inner courtyard again.

Since Ma Xiaotao had transformed into the ultimate fire, except for long-range enemies whose hearts were burned through by her and their bodies were preserved, close-range enemies were directly burned to ashes by her, with only a few broken limbs at her feet. The moment the explosion occurred, she activated her two major soul skills, Phoenix Rising from the Ashes and Phoenix Wings.

The ultimate fire soul power also instantly formed a shield on her body surface, so although she was blown away, she was only hit by the impact. Her injuries were similar to Jiang Nannan's, so it was not a big problem.

But Dai Yuheng was in a miserable situation.

Not to mention his fighting style, which resulted in corpses everywhere under his feet. Just the Soul King that was torn in half by his hands had detonated almost the strongest attack.

Even though Dai Yueheng activated the White Tiger Demon Transformation, the White Tiger Martial Soul's iconic powerful soul skill, in time, his legs were still blown off in the first moment!
Flesh, blood and bones were blown into pieces almost instantly. Dai Yuheng screamed and flew backwards, hitting the mountain wall on the other side.

Not only were his legs blown off, but Dai Yuheng, who fell to the ground, was almost cut in half. His internal organs flowed out of the wound, and his lower body disappeared without a trace.

Chen Zifeng is the most miserable one among all. His attack ability is pure cutting. He can basically only cut and kill the enemy. The integrity of his corpse is even higher than those around Dai Yuheng.

In addition, he himself is a weapon spirit master, and the Soul-Chasing Sword has almost no effect on his body.

At the moment of the explosion, Chen Zifeng was swallowed up by the horrific shock wave and torn into pieces in the flames formed by the explosion.

Just a few fragments scattered everywhere.

Perhaps because of the special nature of his martial soul, coupled with the fear and negative emotions Chen Zifeng felt before his death, his martial soul did not disappear with his death. Instead, it was held tightly in his broken right hand like a real sword.

Although Gong Yang Mo, who was flying in the sky, was relatively far away from the explosion, he was weak and his back was blown into a bloody mess. He fell to the ground and his life or death was unknown. The wound on his back was corroded by the blood tainted with corpse poison and white smoke came out.

Xixi's miserable condition was not much worse than Dai Yaoheng's. She was very fast, but the space of the cave was limited after all. The rocks splashed by the explosion tore her left leg and right hand apart, leaving a bloody mess at the broken ends.

Yao Haoxuan...

Uh, this guy is not dead!
Yes, he is not dead!
Looking at the reason again, oh, it turned out that Ling Luochen, who was not far behind him, put him in an ice prison in time, and he also released his martial soul in time, reducing the force area of ​​the explosion to the minimum, although he was blown unconscious.

But what is certain is that Yao Haoxuan is at most seriously injured and there is no risk of death.

Ling Luochen's injuries were similar to Ma Xiaotao's, but slightly more serious.

Although she was at the outermost edge, this girl had bad luck. Dai Yuheng happened to drop a few corpses next to her. Although they were not strong, they were still difficult for a mage to deal with.

At this moment, she was already kneeling on the ground powerlessly, the white silk stockings on her beautiful legs were torn, and the cat headdress on her head also had an (X皿X) expression.

lost heavily!

Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen were seriously injured, Yao Haoxuan was seriously injured, Dai Yueheng was completely disabled, Xixi had a broken left leg and right arm and was also disabled, Gong Yangmo's corpse poison entered his body and he was almost dying, and Chen Zifeng died on the spot.

As expected, the immortal was not deceiving me, explosion is art, and the Supreme Elder continued to perform steadily and has not come out until now!

This wave of explosions almost wiped out the Shrek team, and once again maintained the final glory of the vulnerable group of Soul Kings.

Messenger of death?
No, I would rather call him the real God of Death!

After all, even if the real god of death came, we would probably have to give the messenger of death a cup of tea and respectfully call him "big brother"!

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!!!"

The winning MVP made a grand appearance, and the messenger of death laughed wildly at the dead and injured Shrek and his group.

"You dared to challenge the great messenger of the God of Death? This is your fate! I will refine you into my corpse slaves and let you bathe in the glory of the God of Death for eternity!"

"Jiejiejiejie~"

Not far from the cave, Xuan Zi, who was eating Orleans Xu Kun chicken and drinking wine in big gulps, was frightened by the sudden explosion and spat out the wine in his mouth.

"Oh no, I've been drinking again!"
