70: Chapter 70 Su Ling Makes His Move, Killing Two Soul Saints in Succession

"Teacher, it's Brother Su. Why has he come to the Star Luo Empire?" Tang San asked, his face full of confusion.

"It's him!" Yu Xiaogang looked at Su Ling not far away, his expression gloomy, lost in thought.

Dai Mubai clutched his crotch with both hands, his entire body curled up on the ground.

For a man, this kind of pain is the most excruciating agony.

No one would want to experience it even once, yet Dai Mubai was quite 'lucky'—this was his third time enduring such pain.

"Little San, quick! Hurry and help me heal."

This was the third time he had been crippled. Regarding the previous two recoveries, the first was done using medicinal herbs, and the second was achieved after Tang San used a 100,000-year Spirit Bone ability dozens of times.

Dai Mubai had only just recovered after dozens of healing sessions, but the moment he harbored an evil thought, he was kicked again.

Tang San arrived at Dai Mubai's side and, without hesitation, immediately used that 100,000-year Spirit Bone ability to help him recover.

It was only then that Dai Mubai noticed Su Ling in the distance.

"It's Su Ling, it's Su Ling..."

"Great!"

"Senior Huo Si, Senior Tie Long, please kill this Su Ling. He was the one who crippled me the first time, and now he has injured me for no reason."

"If you can kill Su Ling, there will be a generous reward," Dai Mubai said.

"Let me handle it!"

A burly man over two and a half meters tall stepped forward and released his Spirit to complete his transformation.

His Spirit was the Iron-Backed Earth Dragon. After his Spirit transformation, the back of his body had become ironized.

The seven spirit rings also proved that he was a Spirit Saint.

When Dai Mubai ordered someone to kill Su Ling, Tang San didn't say a word, as if it had been expected.

He even said to Su Ling: "Brother Su, this is a grudge between you and Dai Mubai, so it's not convenient for me to intervene."

"It's fine. You distinguish between grievances clearly; that is good," Su Ling said indifferently.

He had actually considered escaping, believing that the people here would find it difficult to stop him.

However, it would be very difficult to bring Zhu Zhuxin along.

Furthermore, the other side also had a formidable Spirit Douluo who possessed the ability to fly.

Back in the Misty Forest, Su Ling had seen Situ Liefeng use his Spirit.

Of course, Su Ling also had a trump card for survival—the two Teleportation Experience Cards he had obtained from opening treasure chests previously.

However, Su Ling did not intend to use them just yet.

After all, the Teleportation effect of this Teleportation Experience Card ignored space.

In other words, even if Su Ling were trapped, he could escape using this Teleportation Experience Card.

This was definitely a trump card for survival and could not be used lightly.

Moreover, each of these two Teleportation Experience Cards could only be used by one person; taking Zhu Zhuxin along would consume them both at once.

Besides, if a real fight broke out, he might not necessarily lose.

...

"Kid, go to hell." Tie Long stomped hard on the ground and then lunged violently toward Su Ling.

Tie Long's body was massive, and after his Spirit transformation, his weight had increased significantly; his speed was definitely considered slow among Spirit Saints.

However, even if he was slow among Spirit Saints, at the Spirit Ancestor and Spirit King levels, he was still considered fast.

Tie Long was confident that he could defeat this youth in front of him, who looked to be only about twenty years old.

"Wait, Huo Si, attack together. This guy killed a Spirit Emperor before; don't underestimate him." Dai Mubai had just finished speaking.

Huo Si, who looked to be around sixty, hurriedly shouted: "Tie Long, be careful!"

But Huo Si's warning had come a bit too late.

In the dark of night, visibility was already poor. Su Ling's figure was ghostly; as Tie Long charged over, Su Ling had already flashed to the side, holding a sharp dagger that slashed across Tie Long's neck.

When Su Ling's figure reappeared, Tie Long stood there, frozen for a second or two, before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

The level 72 Spirit Saint, Tie Long, had fallen! The other one, Huo Si, hadn't even had time to make a move.

Blood sprayed from his neck; he hadn't even left behind a single word.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuxin was also inside the tent, watching outside with a nervous expression, having personally witnessed Su Ling kill Tie Long.

She knew of this Tie Long—a level 72 Spirit Saint with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

Yet, such a powerful Spirit Master had been taken out in a single move by Su Ling.

One had to know that Su Ling was only a Spirit King.

Could a Spirit King kill a Spirit Saint just like that?

Su Ling said: "Dai Mubai, do you want to continue?"

After saying this, Su Ling picked up Tie Long's spirit tool storage device. He still wanted the assets of a Spirit Saint.

"Third Prince, let me handle it!" Huo Si stepped out, walking over unhurriedly.

"Then I will trouble you, Senior Huo Si. If you can help me kill him, I will give you an additional 100,000 gold coins, for a total of 200,000 gold coins," Dai Mubai said directly.

"I want 500,000 gold coins," Huo Si said, raising the price himself.

"Th... that's fine! As long as you can kill him, I will give you the 500,000 gold coins," Dai Mubai said, gritting his teeth. These 500,000 gold coins were almost all the assets he currently possessed.

Huo Si walked forward a few steps and stopped at a position about twenty meters away from Su Ling.

"You are very impressive. To be able to kill Tie Long at your age, but today you have met me, and you are destined to die by my hands."

"Remember, my name is Huo Si, a level 79 Spirit Saint." After Huo Si finished speaking, his body vanished right before everyone's eyes.

"Brother Su, be careful! Huo Si is a famous assassin in the Star Luo Empire. His Spirit can turn invisible, soundlessly and tracelessly. You must be careful."

By this time, Zhu Zhuxin had successfully detoxified with the help of the top-grade antidote pill.

After recognizing Huo Si, she immediately came out to warn Su Ling.

It was indeed soundless and traceless. At least for now, relying on his senses and naked eye, Su Ling really couldn't detect a single movement around him.

However, by using his level 90 Mental Energy to detect, Su Ling could still perceive the opponent's approximate location.

At this moment, he was moving toward him.

This Huo Si's Spirit was indeed very strange.

Upon hearing Zhu Zhuxin's warning, Su Ling immediately activated his Eye of True Sight.

When his eyes opened, he saw Huo Si instantly.

Huo Si's appearance was very eerie, like a devil, a monster that looked neither human nor ghost.

Moreover, the moment Su Ling opened his eyes, the opponent had already appeared right before him, his hand transformed into a sharp spike, thrusting directly toward Su Ling's chest.

If he were to be struck, there would be almost no possibility of survival.

However, Su Ling lightly shifted his body to the side and dodged it directly.

This actually made Huo Si pause in surprise!

Then he struck at Su Ling again with the spike.

And Su Ling dodged it with ease again.

In that instant, Huo Si became puzzled. Could he have been seen by his opponent?

When he used this move, only someone whose Mental Energy was three levels higher than his could discover him, and even then, it was only a possibility.

Could this youth in front of him be able to see him?

Could his Mental Energy be even higher than his own?

One had to know that his Mental Energy had already reached level 80. Other than Situ Liefeng, no one else at the scene could possibly discover him.

"Brother Su, after Huo Si uses this skill, his own attack power and defense will also be weakened by more than half," Zhu Zhuxin reminded him again.

Huo Si was stunned. Very few people knew about this move of his; even the others behind him might not be aware of it. But how did Zhu Zhuxin of the Nether Civet Family know?

And just as Huo Si was puzzled, Su Ling vanished from his sight.

Where did he go?

Huo Si suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Then, a cold dagger pierced through his back and into his heart.

Blood spilled from his mouth.

"You... how could you possibly see... see me."

After being stabbed by Su Ling, Huo Si's body also became visible to everyone.

Pulling out the dagger, Huo Si collapsed directly to the ground. Even in death, he never figured out how Su Ling had seen him.

He had used this skill to assassinate countless people without a single failure; the victims never even knew he was the one who had struck them until they died.

However, one cannot walk by the river without getting one's shoes wet; Su Ling's Eye of True Sight happened to perfectly counter this special skill of his.

"Zhu Xin, thank you," Su Ling said, turning back with a smile.

"It's Brother Su who is impressive," Zhu Zhuxin said. She had genuinely been worried for Su Ling just now. If Su Ling had died because of her today, how could she face her younger sister, Zhu Zhuqing, in the future?

Fortunately, Su Ling was truly much stronger than she had imagined.

[Ding... Zhu Zhuxin's favorability +5, obtained white treasure chest * 3, yellow treasure chest * 1]

"Dean Situ, this person is named Su Ling. He is only twenty years old this year and is also going to participate in the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament this year."

Yu Xiaogang stood next to Situ Liefeng and said.

Su Ling's potential and combat power had far exceeded his expectations.

He had already taken care of two Spirit Saints without even using his Spirit.

One was a Spirit Master known for defense and strength, and Huo Si was also a strange Spirit Saint, and his Soul Power had even reached level 79.

Two Spirit Saints, just like that, were killed by Su Ling in such an understated manner.

He admitted that he had indeed misjudged him back then.

However, in his heart, Su Ling could absolutely not surpass Tang San; after all, Tang San had two Spirits.

The further a Spirit Master progresses in the Late Stage, the harder it is to improve. Su Ling might become a Titled Douluo in the future, but he would definitely not go as far as Tang San.

As long as he added spirit rings to his second Spirit after reaching level 90, reaching a Soul Power level of 97 or 98 would be completely problem-free.

After all, the current Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong was the best example.

So, as of now, he still favored Tang San.

But at this time, Tang San might not yet be Su Ling's match.

Situ Liefeng looked at the two corpses on the ground and whispered: "This child must not be left alive; he will be the greatest obstacle for our academy in competing for the championship."

"Then I will trouble you, Dean Situ," Yu Xiaogang said with a look of joy.

Situ Liefeng was not weak, nor was he an ordinary Spirit Douluo. With his level 83 power, killing a Spirit King was absolutely certain.

"You killed two of our Spirit Saints in succession. If I let you leave today, I, Situ Liefeng, would be too embarrassed to appear in the Spirit World."

Su Ling had just killed two Spirit Saints in succession. One was because his Eye of True Sight happened to counter the opponent's special skill.

Tie Long had underestimated Su Ling, had not taken him seriously, and had not even used his Spirit Ability; otherwise, Su Ling would have really found it difficult to kill him.

And after killing these two, Su Ling's next battle would not be easy.

Releasing his Spirit, Situ Liefeng instantly completed his Spirit transformation, and a pair of wings appeared behind him.

His Spirit was the Blazing Demon Bat King, a bat-type Spirit.

Seeing this, Su Ling also released his Spirit, with the prototype of the Primordial War Bow in his hand.

As the saying went, bows and arrows were suitable for shooting birds.

The next instant, perhaps having learned his lesson, Situ Liefeng released his Martial Soul Avatar from the very beginning before even making a move.

It was likely to ensure he could kill Su Ling and avoid any accidents.

Seeing the opponent use his Martial Soul Avatar, Su Ling immediately used a skill attached to the Goddess he had obtained from Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong was currently a Spirit Ancestor and could provide a 50% boost.

But when Su Ling used it, it would be reduced by half.

After using it, Su Ling's strength, agility, Soul Power, and defense were all increased simultaneously.

Su Ling stepped back a few paces, then drew his bow and shot an arrow out.

Situ Liefeng moved his wings and instantly surged into the sky, easily dodging Su Ling's arrow.

This was the advantage of a flying Spirit Master.

Situ Liefeng's speed was also very fast. Su Ling's ordinary arrows were difficult to hit him with, and even if they did hit, they might not necessarily cause significant damage.

This was Su Ling's first time fighting against someone at the Spirit Douluo level.

"Go to hell."

Situ Liefeng's Martial Soul Avatar was covered in flames, and he flapped his wings, charging directly toward Su Ling.

That powerful explosive force seemed to want to finish off Su Ling in one go.

Su Ling's movement technique Carefree Metamorphosis was at Major Achievement; he successfully dodged with a few flashes and even shot an arrow backhanded.

Situ Liefeng's speed was also very fast, and with a turn, he also dodged Su Ling's attack.

At this moment, Situ Liefeng's spirit rings lit up, and he opened his mouth and shrieked like a bat.

Suddenly, an attack surged directly toward Su Ling's Soul.

Damn, a Soul attack?

Fortunately, Su Ling's Mental Energy was powerful, and this attack did not affect him much.

You have a Soul-attacking ability? I have one too!

In an instant, Su Ling's 100,000-year Spirit Bone ability, Mental Shock, also countered back.

Situ Liefeng had never expected that the youth in front of him would also possess a mental attack skill.

For a moment, he didn't have much preparation.

His Soul Power was level 83, and his Mental Energy was only level 85; his Mental Energy was two levels higher than his Soul Power.

However, Su Ling's Mental Energy had already reached the Peak of level 90.

Of course, there was also the boost from the 100,000-year Spirit Bone ability.

This Mental Shock would not be so easy to take. Struck by it, Situ Liefeng felt dizzy and fell from the sky while in his Martial Soul Avatar state.

Seeing this, Su Ling also found a good opportunity.

He circulated his Soul Power, and all five spirit rings lit up.

Then he used his fifth Spirit Ability, Wind and Thunder Piercing Arrow.

This arrow contained the sharp cutting destructive power of the wind attribute, as well as the attack of the lightning attribute.

"Dean Situ, be careful."

Not far away, a Spirit Emperor realized that Situ Liefeng had been hit and hurriedly came up to block Su Ling's attack.

After all, Su Ling's fifth Spirit Ability was a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ability, and its attack power was not weak.

The Spirit Emperor condensed a shield and held it in his hand, intending to block Su Ling's attack.

Who would have known that the destructive power of the Wind and Thunder Piercing Arrow was truly astonishing.

The arrow pierced through the shield and also pierced through the Spirit Emperor's body.

"Dean Situ, I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the Spirit Emperor had already collapsed to the ground; a Spirit Emperor had died on the spot.

At the same time, Situ Liefeng fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the ground.

The pain of the impact made Situ Liefeng slightly more sober, but his head was still spinning.

After all, it was a 100,000-year Spirit Bone ability, and Su Ling's Mental Energy was much higher than his. With his Soul injured, he certainly wouldn't be able to recover in a short while.

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly warned: "Everyone attack together! You must kill him."

Seeing this, Su Ling raised his hand and fired an arrow.

"Zhu Xin, you go first. Head north, and we will meet at Qiushan Town, two hundred kilometers away from here," Su Ling also directly sent a voice transmission to Zhu Zhuxin.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuxin did not hesitate and immediately ran out of the tent.

She knew that once the other side dealt with Su Ling together, she might be targeted, which would affect Su Ling's fight.

Therefore, Zhu Zhuxin also released her Spirit to complete her transformation and left at the fastest speed.

Zhu Zhuxin herself was adept at speed; ordinary Spirit Masters would find it really difficult to catch up to her.

"Brother Su, you must survive," Zhu Zhuxin whispered, and she couldn't help but shed a few tears.

[Ding... Zhu Zhuxin's favorability +4, obtained white treasure chest * 2, purple treasure chest * 1]

[Ding... Congratulations, Zhu Zhuxin's favorability is greater than or equal to 70]

[Goddess: Zhu Zhuxin]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 93]

[Current Favorability: 72 (Likes you a little)]

[Binding Effect: The host can obtain 20% of the daily Cultivate effect of the bound Goddess, which will not lower the bound Goddess's Cultivate speed.]

[Binding Skill: Shadow Clone (Can use to split off a Shadow Clone, attack power is 40% of the original body, duration 3 minutes)]

[Binding Skill: Skill Fusion (The host can allow two Spirit Abilities to fuse, combining them into one for use)]

Great, this skill from Zhu Xin came at a very timely moment.

Su Ling was just worrying about not having a more powerful attack skill, and here it was.

Skill Fusion, this was somewhat similar to Huo Wu's spirit ring fusion skill.

However, Su Ling had not obtained this skill from Huo Wu, but had instead obtained it here from Zhu Zhuxin.
