Chapter 162 Suppression
Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan became interested and asked curiously, "What is that evil soul master's martial soul?"
"His martial soul is a peculiar wolf-type martial soul, the Blood Nether Wolf Soul. That guy's fifth soul skill is a terrifying soul skill similar to corpse explosion, which allows the wolf bandits he commands to self-destruct for a period of time. Although the power isn't great, combined with that guy's second soul skill, even I couldn't stop him from escaping," Dai Yueheng said somewhat dejectedly.
"Corpse explosion again!" Xiao Xiao frowned slightly, clearly recalling unpleasant memories.
"Did Senior Dai leave any items or clothing behind when he fought that evil soul master? Perhaps I can use those to find him," Wu Xuan suddenly asked.
"Yes, of course, I cut off that guy's right arm." Saying this, Dai Yueheng summoned his subordinate, who brought over a dark, severed arm.
Seeing the severed arm, Wu Xuan was slightly delighted and immediately woke up Tianmeng, who was fast asleep in his spiritual sea.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm opened its sleepy eyes, yawning as it asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Wuxuan?"
"Quick! Tianmeng, help me pinpoint the owner of this severed arm. I need to know their location immediately," Wuxuan urged.
"Heh! Now you remember me? You always blocked me when there was something good, using me and then discarding me. Xiao Wuxuan, you've changed, become so cold," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm muttered.
"Hurry up, this is serious business, stop talking nonsense!" Wuxuan's face darkened as he urged. The "good thing" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was referring to was, of course, the affair between Wuxuan and Ma Xiaotao. Wuxuan wasn't used to having others watch such things, so he always blocked Tianmeng and Bingdi.
"Alright!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm responded, following the residual aura of the severed arm, its mental energy sweeping acrose the area on a large scale. "Found it! In a valley to the northeast, at least a hundred kilometers away," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said smugly.
"Hmm! Thanks," Wuxuan nodded.
"I'm going back to sleep. Remember to call me if you need anything. Although your brother Tianmeng isn't good at fighting, he's absolutely reliable when it comes to finding people," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said lazily.
"Alright!" Wu Xuan responded, then turned to Dai Yueheng and said in a deep voice, "Senior Dai, we've found the rat's location, about 100 kilometers northeast of here."
"100 kilometers northeast? That's in the Mingdou Mountains." Dai Yueheng frowned.
"The location is correct. To prevent the rat from escaping, we won't bring any more people, Senior Dai. Let's travel light." Wu Xuan arranged.
"What about me? Brother Xuan, I can help too. Don't forget about me." Xiao Xiao stepped forward and said.
"How could I? I have an even more important task for you." Wu Xuan smiled slightly, then a faint mental fluctuation was transmitted to Xiao Xiao's mental sea.
"Xiao Xiao, I've transmitted the locations of those wolf bandits causing trouble everywhere to you through mental power. Your next task is to take Senior Dai's personal guards and wipe them out one by one, preferably not letting a single one escape." Wu Xuan said coldly.
"Hehe, leave it to me. I promise I won't let a single one escape." Xiao Xiao waved her little fist, not caring about the mission itself, as long as she could help.
Seeing that Wu Xuan had arranged everything so well, Dai Yueheng didn't hesitate. After assigning tasks to the White Tiger Guards beside him, he immediately shouldered his flying soul tool and set off with Wu Xuan.
The two of them focused on traveling, except for the necessary recovery of their soul power. In just one hour, they covered more than a hundred kilometers.
"Senior Dai, there's a light ahead. It should be a market or a village! Let's go and rest for a while." Looking into the distance, Wu Xuan slowly slowed down.
Dai Yueheng nodded upon hearing this. "It's really not easy. We haven't seen a single person for more than a hundred kilometers. I didn't expect to see a market here."
The two exchanged a smile and set off again. They were still nearly a thousand meters from the village when, using the last rays of the sun, Wu Xuan and his companion confirmed that they were facing a small village. The village appeared small, probably only a hundred or so households. Large tracts of farmland surrounded the village, but apart from the flickering firelight, it was eerily quiet; not a single person was in sight.
Wu Xuan and his companion instantly sensed something was wrong and quickened their pace, closing the four or five hundred meters in a flash. The village seemed to have just been destroyed; many houses were damaged, seemingly with blunt force.
Entering the village, a heavy stench of blood assaulted their senses. Although they still couldn't see anyone, the blood-stained ground showed the brutality of the massacre that had occurred. Trash remains lay on the ground, emitting a nauseating stench.
"This is... a village massacre!!" Dai Yueheng uttered through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing with fury.
"To raise a butcher's knife against a group of defenseless civilians, leaving no one alive in the entire village, truly commendable! I'd like to see what kind of beasts could do such a thing." The last few words were practically roared out by Wu Xuan.
His aura swept out, enveloping everything around him.
"Northeast, their destination seems to be the Mingdou Mountains!" Wu Xuan said sharply.
"I see! I see! That explains it all. There's not a soul in sight for dozens of kilometers around; it was these fleeing beasts. Even if bandits are despicable, they only do it for money, food, and women; they wouldn't commit such a heinous act as massacring entire villages. And these disgusting freaks of the wolf bandits truly don't deserve to live in this world." Dai Yueheng said through gritted teeth.
"Enough talk, let's wipe out these beasts." Wu Xuan picked up his flying soul tool again and gave chase.
Dai Yueheng nodded heavily, ignoring whether his soul power had recovered or not, and followed Wu Xuan directly.
The closer they got to the Mingdou Mountains, the more pronounced the change in terrain became. Not far away lay a range of towering peaks, not very high, but ideal for vegetation, covered in forests. Looking at the trail of blood, Wu Xuan and his companion's expressions turned icy cold.
In just half an incense stick's time, they spotted a dense group of figures in the distance, cries echoing from ahead.
The scene was one of carnage: over a hundred corpses dragged along by a group of strangely dressed beings. Many had their internal organs spilling out, and some were even carrying children's corpses on spears. The cries came from a group of young women.
These beings numbered about two hundred, all extremely robust, each over two meters tall with solid physiques. Most peculiarly, their hair was gray, their bodies covered in thick body hair, making them look like savages. Their lips protruded, revealing canines several times larger than those of ordinary people, and their faces were painted with dazzling greasepaint.
"Die, you scum! Fifth Soul Skill, Sky-Splitting Wind!" Wu Xuan roared, and as the dark fifth ring bloomed, a terrifying hurricane instantly filled the entire sky.
"Third Soul Skill, Jade Wind!" With a light wave of his hand, Wu Xuan's terrifying hurricane, under a strange fluctuation, instantly condensed into countless jade crystals.
"Jade Purity Wind and Fire!" With a crisp snap of his fingers, the countless jade crystals instantly transformed into a towering sea of fire.
"Awooo!"
A wolf howled, and the wolf bandits below roared and howled in unison, shooting wind blades towards Wu Xuan in mid-air. Wu Xuan smiled cruelly, and his right hand swung down sharply, sending countless azure flame meteors plummeting down.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The jade crystals shattered, and the terrifying azure flames that exploded directly disintegrated the countless wind blades, engulfing the wolf bandits below without hesitation. Limbs and torsos flew everywhere, and in just half a minute, more than half of the main force of this wolf bandit group had been killed or wounded.
Behind him, Dai Yueheng stared in astonishment at Wu Xuan's shocking attack. He couldn't believe that Wu Xuan, whom he hadn't seen for only two years, had become so powerful.
