Chapter 482.1. Eight Skills Fired Consecutively
Long Xiaoyao’s expression changed slightly as he said hoarsely, “It’s not as serious as you make it out to be. Do you think evil soul masters are born evil? You and a great many other soul masters are wrong on this matter. The truth is, almost every evil soul master deserves pity, and that’s because the world shuns them due to their martial souls’ characteristics. They have had to go through much pain and bitterness in their earlier days, and that’s the reason why their personalities are a little extreme. I believe that if the Sun Moon Empire conquers the continent in the end and corrects the reputation of evil soul masters, everything will be different. They will control themselves, and as for who rules over the continent, that’s not something that I’m concerned about.”
Huo Yuhao laughed, and his laughter was very disdainful. “Yes, perhaps what you said does make some sense. There are many evil soul masters who deserved pity when they were younger. However, they start killing people because they have received unfair treatment, and they use all kinds of evil methods to strengthen themselves. How can that be the right thing to do? I may not know about others, but let’s talk about the Death God Douluo, Ye Xishui. I am willing to call her my senior because of my teacher, but it seems like she’s the demon king among humanity.”
“You are not allowed to talk about Ye Xishui.” Long Xiaoyao’s eyes suddenly grew focused, and Huo Yuhao felt as if his body was held in place by some tremendous power. This frightening strength was pressing against his body, like he was about to be ground into dust.
However, he gritted his teeth and held on as he said with difficulty, “Am I wrong? She’s the Death God Douluo, and she controls the Death God Pagoda. The reason why the Death God Pagoda is so powerful is because it incinerates people’s spirits when it fires at full strength, while thousands of spirits are burned through every time it fires. I saw it with my own eyes, and from what it looked like, there were at least tens of thousands of spirits inside. That means tens of thousands of lives! How many evil soul masters are there? Every single one of them is a life, but does this mean those people that they so mercilessly slaughtered are not considered lives? Ye Xishui hasn’t just been killing people. She has imprisoned their spirits, and she will ultimately incinerate their spirits for an attack, and eventually obliterate them. Are such brutal and cruel methods things you wish to see?”
Long Xiaoyao fell silent after Huo Yuhao’s string of accusations. Of course, he knew that every single one of Huo Yuhao’s words was true.
Long Xiaoyao heaved a faint sigh and shook his head. “I cannot turn back anymore. I am willing to do anything for Xishui, and the only thing I can do now is to restrain myself so that I don’t kill people. I’m not clear as to what the Holy Ghost Church has done, but I do know something. Xishui has told that after the continent is united, there will be a new order, and true peace will only happen when that time comes.”
Huo Yuhao said nothing more. He knew that he could no longer move the Dragon Emperor Douluo. He stared coldly at him, but he was full of lament in his heart. But he still had some hope.
He couldn’t fight against the Dragon Emperor Douluo by himself. However, he still had the Beast God’s reverse scale on his body.
Huo Yuhao had managed to escape with his life from the Death God Douluo’s clutches with the reverse scale’s protection. The Beast God would naturally appear if Long Xiaoyao attacked him, and he felt absolutely threatened. Furthermore, Huo Yuhao now had his soul core, and the amount of energy his body could sustain was greatly boosted after he absorbed the Manifold Mysterious Ice Essence. Killing him wouldn’t be that easy.
