Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 58: Reversal

No wonder the higher-ups sent me here. This kid really has some tricks up his sleeve." The youth opened his eyes and commanded with an unquestionable tone: "That kid definitely couldn't have gone far. Spread out and search! Signal immediately if you find anything."

"Yes!" The others responded in unison, all following the winged youth's lead.

The group then scattered to search for Huo Yuhao. The winged youth also searched in one direction.

After everyone had left, next to a large tree, an inconspicuous stone moved and slipped into the nearby bushes.

A man in brocade cautiously surveyed his surroundings. Since they had split up, each of them had been on high alert, afraid of falling into a trap.

Like this man in brocade, his martial soul was a keen-nosed hunting dog. At this moment, he had already activated his martial soul. His nose, elongated by the martial soul, twitched as he remained vigilant.

The man continued walking, but hadn't found anything yet. Suddenly, his expression drastically changed. He wanted to dodge immediately, but it was too late. A blood-red spear pierced through his neck. Immediately afterward, the spear was withdrawn, and the brocade-clad man fell powerlessly to the ground, letting fresh blood gush out like a spring.

Not far from him, the stone from before quickly darted in another direction.

On the other side, a burly man with a full beard carefully searched with a stone axe, trying not to miss any clues.

In front of him was a large tree that took at least three people to encircle. It grew in a crooked and cracked manner, with an ugly bulge on the trunk. The burly, bearded man brushed past it. In the next moment, the blood-red spear pierced through his neck from behind. The same method, the same death.

"This camouflage is really quite useful," Huo Yuhao remarked from a distance, then looked for the next target. He had successfully ambushed two Soul Ancestors in a row, without giving them a chance to resist.

Huo Yuhao's expression was not good. This was the first time he had truly killed someone, but he couldn't afford to be sentimental at the moment.

"Boom."

A muffled sound echoed in the jungle. In the next moment, three figures quickly approached the source of the sound.

Huo Yuhao looked at the man lying on the ground, already lifeless, and his expression was not good. This time, it wasn't as smooth as before. This guy was a pure agility-type Soul Master, and he almost escaped. In the end, Huo Yuhao had to use a mental shock to successfully kill him, but it also created quite a stir, and his companions would probably be looking for him soon.

This place was not suitable for a long stay. Huo Yuhao turned to leave, but suddenly, he thought of something, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then, he returned to the side of the dead man. In the next moment, his figure disappeared.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before long, two black shadows flashed out from two directions at the same time. When they saw the man's body on the ground, they were both silent. The two walked over silently. One slowly crouched down to check the specific situation, so that they could take precautions later.

In the next moment, it was still that blood-red spear, still the same method. The spear was withdrawn, leaving only the man with a terrified expression, with deep incomprehension in his eyes. He didn't understand until his death that someone could hide in a shadow.

Huo Yuhao revealed his true form and immediately attacked the other man. To prevent accidents, he had used a soul shock on the man further away, so he couldn't escape when he killed the man who was preparing to check the body. He hadn't recovered yet.

A spear slashed over without any fancy moves, and the man's head rolled to the ground.

Coincidentally, the leading winged youth also happened to arrive, just in time to see Huo Yuhao beheading his companion, with the bodies of two other companions next to him. The youth's face suddenly became uncertain, and then, he turned and ran away.

Just kidding, this kid kills Soul Ancestors like killing dogs. Is this a two-ringed Grand Soul Master? They were sent to kill someone without knowing the details. The higher-ups must have something wrong with their heads.

At most, he would be punished for going back, but staying would likely cost him his life. This choice was not difficult to make.

"Such speed!" Huo Yuhao was shocked. The strongest of these people seemed to be this guy. Otherwise, how could he have such speed?

But since he came, there was no reason to let him go back. The blood-red greatsword reappeared, and Huo Yuhao stepped on the flying sword and chased in the direction of the youth's escape.

There was no way around it. The other party was too fast, and that was the only way. Besides, the other party had wings.

A mile away, the winged youth cursed incessantly, thinking that he must ask the old man for an explanation when he returned. This matter could not be simply dismissed. The sound of the wind rose sharply behind him. The youth looked back and saw Huo Yuhao approaching rapidly on a flying sword, and his face sank even more.

Five optimal soul rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black, rose from the youth's body. At the same time, the second yellow soul ring and the fourth purple soul ring lit up.

Seeing that he was about to approach the youth, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a sudden burst of noise in his ears, like countless crows cawing chaotically.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao's spirit was strong and he was not affected much, but at the same time, hundreds of cyan wind blades slashed over. This should be a group attack skill, and its power was not too strong. Huo Yuhao snorted coldly, and the spear in his hand scattered, and dense blood-flame thorns floated in front of him, and then rotated and strangled like a vortex. Therefore, the wind blades where Huo Yuhao passed were cleaned up, and Huo Yuhao was too lazy to care about the rest, anyway, it didn't matter.

"Damn it." Huo Yuhao cursed inwardly and had to activate the Blood Flame Sword again to chase after him.

That youth was indeed an agility-attack Soul King. Now, under the activation of the fifth soul skill, he directly threw Huo Yuhao several streets away. Fortunately, in this way, the aura was very obvious, and Huo Yuhao would not lose track of him, and Huo Yuhao judged that the youth would definitely not be able to hold on for long.
