Sword of Douluo

Chapter 48

The next day,

The eastern sky gradually lit up, and the light blue sky was covered with a layer of crimson.

Ling Yu, who sat cross-legged on a rock to rest, slowly opened his eyes.It was dawn, and it was time to continue on the road. A white glow appeared under his feet, turning into a stream of light, and he hurried towards the direction of Wuhun City.

After driving for about an hour, Ling Yu stopped and looked forward to the left.

I saw a small-scale village with a hundred families about three miles away in front of Ling Yu's left.looming among the hills.

"Hey, that's it? The village? It seems that the taste can be changed, and there is no need to eat dry food anymore."

With a smile on Ling Yu's face, he walked towards the distant village.

Approaching the village, Ling Yu frowned, something was wrong.The big trees on both sides of the village entrance were all dead, without any greenery.The most important thing is that on the dry tree, there is a group of red-eyed crows gathering.

After Ningmei walked into the village, there were a few immature cries of children not far away,
"Woooooh, dad, get up",
"Dad, what's wrong with you, don't sleep on the ground",
"Woooooo... Dad...".

Looking up, I saw three corpses in the open space in the middle of the village, all men in their thirties.

At this time, several children were lying on the side crying, and there were hundreds of people, old and young, women and children gathered around.Strangely, only the child was crying, but the old man and woman beside him were not.

The three corpses were covered with deep scratch marks, and Ling Yu couldn't help but stepped forward.asked,
"Has your village been attacked by spirit beasts? Perhaps, I can help."

Hearing Ling Yu's voice, the crowd around the corpse turned around and faced Ling Yu.

When I saw the faces of the villagers.Ling Yu's pupils shrank suddenly.

Ling Yu was behind them before, so he couldn't see their specific appearance, but when the villagers turned around, Ling Yu realized that the eyes of these villagers were like dead people, empty and lifeless, sluggish and motionless!
The villagers stared at Ling Yu with dull eyes, but no one spoke.

Seeing that they were silent, Ling Yu took a breath, tried to make his voice gentler, and said:
"I am a soul master, maybe I can help you."

Hearing that Ling Yu was a soul master, the dull eyes of the villagers shone with light, but they still didn't speak.

After a moment of silence, a white-haired old man walked out of the villagers. The old man's head was wrapped in gauze, and he was holding a crutch made of dry branches in his hand. He walked towards Ling Yu slowly, and said:

"Ahem, I am the head of the village, my child, are you a soul master? I don't know how strong you are?".

Ling Yu frowned, and called out the Fengming sword with his right hand, and the resounding clang, clang and phoenix clang sounded.For a moment, those children also stopped crying.

But when they saw the two soul rings on Ling Yu's body, the villagers' eyes dimmed and returned to their previous empty and lifeless appearance.

Seeing that Ling Yu only had two soul rings on his body, the old man also showed a sad expression, and heaved a long sigh.

"Child, go away, before he sees you, leave as soon as possible, as far away as possible."

Ling Yu's face changed,
"Him? Aren't you attacked by spirit beasts?"

"no".The old man shook his head and said something.Then he turned around again, intending to leave directly, muttering to himself,

"Die, let's all die, it's over when you die...".

"etc".Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Ling Yu hurriedly said, flashed in front of the old man, and said again:

"Old man, although I am only a great soul master of the second ring, my strength is not bad, and I should be comparable to the soul sect."

"What?!" Hearing that Ling Yu had the strength of the Soul Sect, the empty eyes of those villagers lit up brightly.

Then the villagers on the side surrounded Ling Yu and prayed anxiously:
"Master Soul Master, help me",
"Do you really have the strength of the Soul Sect? Master Soul Master, save us",
"Master Soul Master, I don't want to die, save us."

"..."

Facing the anxious villagers in front of him, Ling Yu was a little at a loss, so he summoned his soul power to raise his voice, and said loudly:

"Stop, tell me one by one, first tell me what happened."

Hearing Ling Yu's question, the noisy crowd was quiet for a moment, and then there were pleadings one after another,

"Master Soul Master, save us, that devil, he wants to kill all of us...".

"Master Soul Master, help us get rid of that demon."

Ling Yu looked at the villagers in front of him, feeling a little helpless, could you be more specific.At this moment, an old shout sounded,
"Quiet!"

It was the former village head, and he slammed his crutch on the ground heavily.

Hearing the voice of the village chief, the villagers gradually calmed down, but there was still an eagerness to pray for survival in their eyes.

After the crowd calmed down, the old man looked at Ling Yu with a sad expression on his face, and said:

"Son, come with me."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the side of the big stone platform and sat down.After Ling Yu also went to the stone platform and sat down, the old man struggled for a while, and said sadly:
"A week ago, a demon came from outside the village, a demon who enjoys killing people.

That demon will appear every night, and then select three of us, let us follow the rules he said, and use various methods to kill each other, and we will not leave until the last person survives or all of them are dead...

We are all just ordinary people who have awakened martial soul but no soul power, so how can we resist him.

The demon also said that if we didn't do what he said, he would just kill us all.

At the beginning, we also tried to escape, but he chased us every time.He has a special way of tracking each of us.

After he captured the escaped man, he would brutally kill him in front of all of us, and at the same time kill one of his family members.We didn't dare to run away.

If it's just us old people, don't be afraid, we are already half buried.

But, suffering from these children, that devil was randomly selected according to the name... ".

As he said that, the old man turned his head to the three corpses on the straw mat in the distance, and hit the ground heavily with the crutch in his hand.Sadly said:

"They are the ones who participated in the demon game last night. In order to let their children live a few more days, they took the initiative to participate in the nightmare game, and were finally scratched to death by special bone claws...

Now you can also see, are there any adult men among our villagers?No more, no more!
They all died because they actively participated in that devil's game...

Tonight, it's our old men's turn..."

Ling Yu clenched his hands tightly into fists, making a series of bone-cracking sounds.He thought to himself, there is such a cruel soul master in the world?
Leaving aside the Hongmen sect's rules, as a human being, Ling Yu couldn't let him go.There was a sharp chill in his eyes, and a strong aura emerged from his body, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Don't worry, you don't have to go through this kind of torture anymore. Tonight, I will be here, waiting for him to come, and I will definitely cut him down by the sword!".

The villagers on the side felt the powerful aura coming from Ling Yu, their faces were happy, and then they all glared and agreed:
"Yes, Master Soul Master, kill him."

"Kill that demon,"

"Master Soul Master, you must not let that demon go."

Ling Yu nodded firmly, and then asked the old village chief,
"Old man, can you tell me about that person's specific situation? Has he revealed his martial spirit? What kind of martial spirit? How did he attack?"

Hearing this, the old village head hesitated for a moment, and said:
"I don't know, he has never used Wuhun before, when he attacked us, he always attacked us directly with his body."

When Ling Yu heard the old village chief's answer, he couldn't help frowning, and thought to himself, haven't you seen him use Wuhun before?Then no specific information can be obtained, and its true strength cannot be judged.

We can only take one step at a time and make more preparations.
