DD2—Chapter 49: The Strongest Soul King, Death God Envoy
After hearing these words, the regular players present exchanged glances silently. They all knew there were problems when Master Xuan led the team.
Back then, a group of exceptionally outstanding inner court students had separated from Master Xuan and killed a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. However, only four of the twelve inner court students survived in the end.
In the eyes of these regular players, that should have been an accident.
Moreover, Master Xuan felt extremely guilty about this matter, so he resigned from the Sea God Pavilion. If it weren't for Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan kneeling outside the Sea God Pavilion and begging Master Xuan to stay, he might no longer be a senior of the Sea God Pavilion.
"With Master Xuan leading the team, there will naturally be no problem! I have confidence in Master Xuan," Dai Yueheng said, looking at Wang Yan in a low voice.
In his opinion, a strong man like Elder Xuan would never fall into the same place twice. With Elder Xuan as their backup, the safety of this mission was undoubtedly greatly improved.
Master Xuan is a veteran of the Sea God Pavilion, not an evil soul master. How could he make such a mistake again?
If Master Xuan made this mistake again, Dai Yueheng would question Master Xuan's true identity. After all, if a person could kill a large number of talented inner court students twice, it was most likely intentional. Even a true evil soul master would find it challenging to achieve this.
Of course, even if Dai Yueheng had many thoughts in his mind, he would not express them all in public. He was the son of the White Tiger Duke, and he knew that the interests of the Duke's Mansion came first. Once some words were spoken, they could easily offend others.
Ma Xiaotao also nodded, putting her hands on her hips. "Everyone, don't worry! Master Xuan is still reliable, and actually, he doesn't need to take action on this mission.
Although evil soul masters can fight against opponents of higher levels, according to the information from the White Tiger Duke, our strength is superior to that of this bandit group, so we will be able to return safely."
Beibei's expression was somewhat uncertain. He lacked confidence in Elder Xuan. As Mu En's great-great-grandson, he knew Elder Xuan and recognized that Elder Xuan had some flaws in his character.
Moreover, when he went to ask Zhang Lexuan why Elder Xuan, who was at level ninety-eight, could become separated from the inner courtyard students, Zhang Lexuan, who usually told him everything, chose to remain silent. So, until today, Beibei still did not know the reason why Elder Xuan got separated from that group of inner courtyard students.
However, this also indicated that Elder Xuan might be unreliable.
Beibei's mind was full of thoughts. "Anyway, I will be careful. After completing the mission, I will compete in the Fighting Spirit Competition. After the competition, I will return to the academy to see Xiaoya."
"Yes, okay! If everyone thinks so, I feel relieved," Wang Yan said with a smile. "Now, let's start the action, regular players."
After saying that, the regular team members nodded and then headed toward the cave.
"Teacher Wang, what about us?" Xu Sanshi asked.
"You guys?" Wang Yan sighed. "Wait here with me for a while. Although evil soul masters are powerful and can typically fight against opponents of higher levels, your strength is much weaker than that of the regular players. After Dai Yueheng and the others clear out the stronger members of the Death Hand Bandits, it will be your turn to show your skills."
These reserve members were participating in a monitoring mission for the first time. They were novices with little experience, so their safety naturally came first.
So the reserve players waited patiently. During this time, Xu Sanshi got close to Jiang Nannan, trying to show his concern with various words. However, Jiang Nannan maintained a cold demeanor and seemed extremely annoyed by Xu Sanshi's behavior.
Beibei, who was standing nearby, watched with interest as Xu Sanshi tried to please Jiang Nannan, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
After a moment, Wang Yan said, "Okay, let's go. With Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng's efficiency, we should be able to act now."
Then he continued to move forward with the reserve players.
"These damn evil soul masters are simply inhumane!" Gong Yang Mo looked at the shriveled human skin hanging above the cave, a hint of anger suddenly appearing on his face. As a man with a conscience, he instinctively hated these evil soul masters. After all, evil soul masters would do anything bad to enhance their strength!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless flaming meteors fell from the sky. That was Ma Xiaotao's sixth soul skill, the Phoenix Meteor Shower, and it was also her current strongest attack method.
A large number of members of the Death Hand Bandit gang were set on fire and immediately let out wails. However, Ma Xiaotao's reputation as a blazing flame demon was not undeserved; the wails lasted only a moment before these people turned into corpses.
The other regular team members were also using their soul skills. The members of the bandit group fell one after another like harvested wheat, and a strong smell of blood filled the cave.
Yao Haoxuan looked at the bodies of the bandits on the ground and sighed, "These bandits are so weak. Killing them is effortless, just like killing a chicken! I hope I can meet stronger opponents in the Fighting Soul Competition. Otherwise, this level alone can't satisfy me!"
Soul King Ling Luochen glanced at Yao Haoxuan somewhat helplessly. "Don't stand there thinking about the Fighting Soul Competition. We are here to carry out a mission. Get rid of these bandits as soon as possible so that the younger students can relax."
"Okay!" Yao Haoxuan said with a smile.
After that, he continued to kill the bandits. The bandits here were all evil soul masters who killed without hesitation. Therefore, Yao Haoxuan did not have any psychological burden when dispatching these bandits; killing one of them was like saving countless lives.
In the darkness, the leader of the Death Hand Bandits, the Death God Envoy, was watching his men being slaughtered. He was filled with hatred, his mind racing with thoughts: "You bastards! How dare you provoke me, the Death God Envoy!
Kill, kill! The more you kill, the more corpses there will be, the more powerful the explosion will be, and the greater your losses will be later!"
"Okay, we're here. You go and clean up the remaining bandits." Wang Yan looked at the cave full of corpses, a look of relief on his face.
The more Dai Yueheng and his team were killed, the safer this place would become. So the reserve team members only needed to hunt down the remaining bandits, and there shouldn't be any major problems. Therefore, his nerves, which had been tense all the time, relaxed a little at this moment.
Upon hearing this, the reserve team members rushed toward the remaining bandits. As they moved, the remaining bandits were killed one after another.
At this time, a sharp voice rang out: "How dare you go against me, the Death God Envoy? I think you are tired of living! Just become my corpse slaves!"
The corpses in the cave glowed red, swelling up, and deafening explosions were heard.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Corpses exploded one after another; flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the entire cave almost collapsed.
Outside the cave, Xuan Zi, who was drinking, had a drastic change of expression. "Not good!"
T/N: I will use Death God Envoy instead of Envoy of the Death God, which is used in the official novel, and Death Messenger, which is used in donghua.
