Chapter 561 Mother and Child Lotus Heart
“Tick, tick, tick—”

The horse's hooves stepped on the hard rocky ground and approached the mouth of the col step by step.

About ten meters away, Ling Yi gently pulled the reins in his hand, stopped walking on the snow, and stood still.

"Come out~" Ling Yi looked towards the huge rock on one side of the valley mouth with an indifferent expression.

Behind the rock, Shi Nian frowned and looked at Flanders beside him: "What should we do?"

"Let's go!" Flanders narrowed his eyes slightly under his black-framed glasses. After a slight hesitation, he walked out of the rock where he was hiding with a determined look on his face.

Looking at Flanders' back, Shi Nian's face didn't look very good. He originally wanted to continue hiding and see what happens, but he didn't expect Flanders to be so brave.

Gritting his teeth, Shi Nian suppressed his fear and followed Flanders' footsteps.

"Flanders, meet Master Ling!"

Flanders crossed his hands, placed them on his shoulders, and bowed to Ling Yi.

"Master Ling... Master Ling?!"

Following behind Flanders, Shi Nian, who had just crossed his hands in front of his chest, paused. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at Ling Yi, who was sitting on the horse and looking down at them.

Shi Nian would never have thought that this handsome young man in front of him, with a jade-like and fairy-like temperament, would actually be the world-famous Master Ling Yiling? !
"Flanders?"

Ling Yi ignored Shi Nian's little action. He just raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Flanders, who looked respectful and a little flattering. He tapped the horse's belly with his heels and drove Taxue to continue walking into the valley.

Ling Yi's arrogant and contemptuous attitude made the smile on Flanders' face freeze instantly, and for a moment he even forgot what to say next.

"Isn't it said that Master Ling is kind to everyone and always smiles at everyone?"

When Shi Nian witnessed this scene, a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes.

With this thought in mind, Shi Nian shouted to Ling Yi, who was approaching and about to enter the valley: "Wait a minute!"

However, what made Shi Nian secretly angry was that Ling Yi didn't even bother to look at him, and walked into the valley without stopping on the snow.

Seeing Ling Yi being so arrogant, Shi Nian considered the strength of both sides in his heart. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and his martial spirit "Remnant Dream" appeared behind him unknowingly.

If the person in front of him is really Ling Yi, then what Flanders said about the 'Eight-Ring Soul Douluo' should be true.

But there is a gap between the Eight-Ring Soul Douluo and the Eight-Ring Soul Douluo.

Ling Yi has always been famous throughout the world as a healing soul master!
Thinking of this, Shi Nian controlled the fluctuations of his soul power and quietly performed an illusion-type soul skill.

He had heard of the rumor that Ling Yi was the ancestor of martial arts. Although he was not sure what level of martial arts strength Ling Yi had, if he compared it with Yu Xiaogang's strength as a martial artist who practiced Huajin and Lianzang, even if Ling Yi, an eight-ringed Soul Douluo, was a healing type, the strength that the other party could unleash should not be underestimated.

Therefore, Shi Nian chose to play it safe and use his best mental power and illusion to launch a sneak attack, thinking that he could make this so-called master who was seeking fame and reputation fall flat on his face!
However, just as Shi Nian was imagining the scene of a successful sneak attack and Ling Yi falling off his horse due to mental injury, he saw Ling Yi slightly turning his head to look at him with an indifferent look in his eyes, and coldly spat out one word: "Get lost!"

The simple and crisp word "get out" turned into thunder at this moment, exploding in Shi Nian's ears and mind, causing him to bleed from all seven orifices. The ethereal and illusory "Remnant Dream" martial spirit behind him was directly shattered and turned into a stream of light that sank into his body.

"puff--!"

Shi Nian raised his head and spat out a cloud of blood, then fell straight backwards.

Flanders, who was standing by, saw this scene, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously summoned his martial spirit "Cat Owl" to possess him. However, before he could make the next move, Ling Yi, who was a little impatient, raised his hand and grabbed a gray-white rock the size of a little finger on the ground. He flicked his finger, and the rock turned into a streak of light and flew towards Flanders.

Ignoring Flanders who was standing there without daring to move because of a pebble piercing his shoulder blade, nor caring about Shi Nian who was lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back and a stupid look on his face, Ling Yi rode on the snow and walked slowly into the valley.

This valley is not big, about one thousand square meters. The ground is relatively flat, without many rocks rolling down from the mountain. There is also a small shallow pool in the corner.

After taking a quick glance across the entire valley, Ling Yi turned his gaze towards the water pool, where he saw a figure sitting cross-legged in meditation.

And... a giant flesh and blood egg that is 15 feet tall!
The sound of horse hooves startled Yu Xiaogang, who was closing his eyes to regulate his breathing. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a strong, fierce and bloody light flashed in his eyes.

The next second, the blood-colored soul power surging in Yu Xiaogang's body stagnated, and the figures of a man and a horse were reflected in his pair of scarlet eyes: "Cheng... Ling Yi?!"

Looking at Yu Xiaogang, who was covered in bloody murderous aura that was almost condensed into substance, and the murderous intent that was gradually being controlled, Ling Yi dismounted, patted Taxue's neck, signaling it to stay where it was, and walked towards the direction of the pool where Yu Xiaogang was.

After taking a glance at Yu Xiaogang, who was frowning and thinking about something, Ling Yi came to the giant egg of flesh and blood and watched it silently.

For some reason, Yu Xiaogang did not intend to stop Ling Yi from coming and watching. Instead, he walked over and stood beside Ling Yi, looking at the giant egg of flesh and blood in front of him.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ling Yi retracted his gaze and looked at Yu Xiaogang beside him. He sighed and said, "Xiaogang, you finally took this path."

"Such a road?" Yu Xiaogang smiled faintly upon hearing this, which made his handsome face even more charming due to the evolution of his martial spirit. "What's wrong with this road? Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Do you know what my current strength is?"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes and eyebrows were all smiling, a kind of joy from the heart, full of a sense of pride, and he announced loudly: "Eight Rings! Eight Ring Soul Douluo——!"

"I, Yu Xiaogang, am an Eight-ring Soul Douluo--!!"

Ling Yi did not speak as he looked at the high-spirited Yu Xiaogang. Indeed, in less than ten years, Yu Xiaogang had leapt from a two-ringed Great Soul Master who was stuck at level 29 and could not make any progress, to an eight-ringed Soul Douluo who was considered a strong man in Douluo Continent. This was indeed an achievement to be proud of.

Even if it was Ling Yi, if they were living in a different place, given Yu Xiaogang's starting conditions, it would be hard to say whether he could achieve such strength in such a short time.

After all, there were many indispensable and unrepeatable opportunities, all of which were seized by Yu Xiaogang, leading to the current Eight-Ring Soul Douluo Yu Xiaogang.

From the first time he devoured the Eight-Ring Soul Fighter Hannibal through Luo Sanpao, to entering the "City of Slaughter" for a bloody fight, to breaking through the Hell Road and successfully obtaining the "God of Killing Domain", and then later under the guidance of the "Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King", he developed the "Nine-Child Mother Lotus Heart Technique"...

Of course, all of this is inseparable from the original "Blood Shadow Dragon" bloodline.

Without the "Blood Shadow Demon Dragon" bloodline as the key, everything that comes after is just flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water!

Ling Yi shook his head slightly, and in the face of Yu Xiaogang's smug smile, he raised his hand, raised his palm, and thrust forward. His right hand, including the arm below the elbow, was completely immersed in the giant egg of flesh and blood in front of him.

Yu Xiaogang was stunned. He could never have imagined that Ling Yi would actually do this.

"You...you...you..." Yu Xiaogang was choking on words, and his hand pointing at Ling Yi was shaking. Before Yu Xiaogang could come to his senses, Ling Yi pulled out his arm, and his right hand formed a claw, holding a red and black meat ball.

With his left hand, he touched the blue leather bag on his waist. A faint white light flashed, and a rectangular box made of pure metal, or a coffin, appeared on the ground next to him.

Waving his hand and pushing open the thin coffin lid, Ling Yi put the heart-like flesh ball in his hand into the coffin.

On the side, Yu Xiaogang watched Ling Yi's actions with his own eyes. He was shocked and confused at first, and then gradually showed a look of sudden realization and enlightenment.

"So, you came here for Andariel~"

Yu Xiaogang's expression regained its composure, but the fear in his eyes did not diminish at all, and even a hint of vigilance appeared.

Originally, Yu Xiaogang had no guard against Ling Yi.

Whether it was out of some kind of unspeakable trust, or the confidence that he had the upper hand in his own strength, he never thought of attacking Ling Yi from beginning to end, nor did he expect Ling Yi to attack him.

However, at this moment, Yu Xiaogang suddenly woke up from his dream. He remembered that he was no longer the good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang who studied hard in the library of Lingyun City. He was now the Eight-ring Soul Douluo Yu Xiaogang with blood on his hands and who had killed countless people!

"It seems that you know~" The smile on Yu Xiaogang's face disappeared and he said in a cold voice.

Ling Yi pushed the lid of the coffin back up and put it into the "Ruyi Treasure Bag" on his waist. He turned and looked at Yu Xiaogang: "Do you know how your behavior is defined on the mainland?"

"Define?" Yu Xiaogang looked at Ling Yi's calm face and suddenly smiled, very wantonly: "Who will define it? Who can define it——?!"

"Ling Yi, put away your hypocritical face——!"

"This world is a huge hunting ground. Every one of us living in this world is both a hunter and a prey! Either we eat others or we are eaten!"

"If you don't want to be eaten by others, you must become the strongest one!"

"When I become the strongest person in the world, who can define my good and evil?!"

"So~" Ling Yi looked indifferent, looking at the passionate Yu Xiaogang, and asked calmly: "You can hunt other people with peace of mind and treat them as prey in your eyes? Just like Dean Andariel?"

"Andariel~hehe~~hahaha~~~~" Yu Xiaogang whispered the name. He was silent at first, but then he started laughing. His shoulders shook and his laughter got louder and louder.

"Sure enough!" Yu Xiaogang's laughter stopped abruptly, and his aura turned cold. He said sarcastically: "If it weren't for Andariel, I'm afraid no matter how many people I killed, you wouldn't even come to take a look, right?"

"Ling Yi, everyone thinks you are a good person with a big heart, but I know you are not——!"

"You are the same as me!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes were full of fanaticism. "You have never regarded those irrelevant people as your own kind, just like those fallen soul masters and banned warriors you imprisoned in Lingyun City. In your eyes, those people are no different from the cattle, sheep and pork on the kitchen chopping board!"

"The only difference is that some are useful to you and some are useless to you!"

Facing Yu Xiaogang's criticism, Ling Yi remained unmoved and did not defend himself. He just shook his head and said calmly: "It can be seen that you have an unshakable belief in the path you have chosen."

"Of course!" Yu Xiaogang smiled confidently.

Just at this moment, the sound of cloth tearing was heard nearby, attracting the attention of the two.

“Sizzle—Sizzle—”

The tough flesh and blood shell was torn open from the inside, and a blood-red dragon head emerged from the torn hole, with its head and face covered in light red mucus.

Then, heads popped out one after another, tearing the giant egg of flesh and blood that was 15 feet tall apart, revealing a ferocious giant beast with a blood-red body!

Looking at the bloody giant beast in front of him, Yu Xiaogang's eyes quickly swept across the six heads. Except for one head that looked like a mouse, the other five were all dragon heads with horns on their heads and mouths full of fangs!

A hint of surprise flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, and his gaze lingered on one of the dragon heads for a moment.

Originally, this head should have been a bird's head.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his mind, and he seemed to remember the bloody flesh that Ling Yi had grabbed before. Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze to Ling Yi beside him: "What you just grabbed contained Andariel's soul?!"

He originally thought that the piece of meat Ling Yi had grabbed was to build a tomb for Andariel. Most importantly, he did not feel any discomfort or abnormality at the time.

Thinking of this, the fear in Yu Xiaogang's eyes became more and more obvious.

Although he knew that Ling Yi was no simple person, he did not expect that Ling Yi could manipulate even the soul so easily.

"That's enough~" Ling Yi turned around and walked towards Taxue not far away: "I have said what I need to say, and I have done what I need to do. You can take care of yourself in the future~"

"You are a person who walked out of my Lingyun City. As you said, compared to my own people, I really don't care about those irrelevant people in the outside world as much as I do about my own people."

"But at the same time, you are no longer a member of Lingyun City. If anyone from Lingyun City is killed or injured in your hands, I will personally capture you."

"You know, in this Douluo Continent, as long as I want, no matter where you hide, I can find you."

"In addition~" Ling Yi turned over and rode on Taxue, looking down at Yu Xiaogang: "Your "Nine Sons Mother Lotus Heart Technique" is ingenious and has a strange concept. It's very good!"

"boom--!"

Ling Yi's words were like a thunderclap that exploded in Yu Xiaogang's heart. He was so shocked that he could not help but retreat again and again until he was close to the body of the "Six-Headed Blood Dragon King" and stopped.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's mind went blank and he looked at Ling Yi, who was sitting high on the horse, with fear in his eyes.

The sun was blazing in the sky, and his strength had clearly reached that of an eight-ring Soul Douluo, but at this moment Yu Xiaogang seemed to be standing naked in the snow, with a bone-chilling chill enveloping him and penetrating deep into his heart!
Ling Yi did not say anything more to provoke the startled Yu Xiaogang. He just glanced around the valley with some emotion.

Sixteen years ago, in the 2612th year of the Douluo calendar, it was in this remote valley that the twenty-one-year-old Ling Yi and the eighteen-year-old Yu Xiaogang met for the first time.

At that time, Ling Yi was a three-ring soul master, and Yu Xiaogang was a two-ring great soul master.

Now, things and people have changed, everything is very different.
