"We've taken down the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, so you, a Dark Taotie, aren't enough."
Feng Zaixing swung his sword, splitting his powerful enemy, his roar shaking all directions: "But I found you to be truly beyond expectation. You can compete for the Four Heavenly Kings in the Holy Spirit Cult. Are you a high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Cult or a rogue practitioner?"
"Junior, you are truly arrogant!"
The Dark Taotie sneered repeatedly, his nine spirit rings—seven black and two red—flashing, turning the battlefield into a swamp.
"If I weren't afraid of implicating my Family, this venerable one would have joined the Holy Cult long ago; our Bloodline has existed for ten thousand years, how could you know our Legacy?"
Hearing this, Feng Zaixing remembered something, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes. "Your ancestor Xuan Zi had correspondence with Long Xiaoyao, the Supreme Enshrined of the Holy Spirit Cult at that time. It seems you took advantage of the Holy Spirit Cult's weakness back then to obtain evil techniques?"
"Or rather, did you acquire the evil techniques from the Holy Spirit Cult's two Holy Maidens, the Phoenix Holy Maiden Ma Xiaotao and the Bluesilver Holy Maiden Tang Ya?"
A hint of surprise appeared in the Dark Taotie's pupils, and Feng Zaixing became even more certain, calling Sima Jinchi to assist.
"Coming! My Dragon Slaying Saber specializes in restraining the Dragon Clan, especially this sinful Dragon!"
Having just slain the Second Elder of the Taotie Family with Spirit restraint, Sima Jinchi's Battle Intent was surging and unparalleled. His Dragon Slaying Saber, sensing the Dark Taotie's Aura, actually trembled and shot out Saber Qi, attacking the Dark Taotie. As the utterly Yang and utterly firm Saber Qi fell, the Dark Taotie let out a strange cry, his body involuntarily trembling.
"What kind of Spirit is that!" The Dark Taotie trembled, a feeling of unease binding his heart like barnacles.
"A Spirit to slaughter yours!"
Sima Jinchi responded with his blade. His eighth spirit ring lit up, and a Dao of blades, where man and nature were one, unleashed a saber soul, sweeping out a sky-reaching grand path.
Feng Zaixing stopped his fifth Spirit Ability and said with a faint smile, "If you were merely an impure Taotie, I indeed couldn't do anything to you. But you are also an Evil Soul Master, so today is the day you meet your end!"
Before his words finished, his fourth and sixth spirit rings began to flash alternately.
The Golden Behemoth appeared behind the angel statue, opening its giant mouth to inhale, instantly absorbing all the Origin Qi, light-attribute, and life-attribute elements within a ten-mile radius.
The phantom of the life sapling appeared immediately afterward, receiving the vast elements and releasing a verdant green radiance, enveloping Feng Zaixing's true body and the Angel Warrior who had just exited his Seraphim state.
"Fourth Spirit Ability, Devour Heaven and Earth; Sixth Spirit Ability, Holy Healing Long Song."
The names of the Spirit Abilities echoed in Feng Zaixing's mind. His wings transformed from brilliant gold to emerald gold, and the angel statue propped up a sky-blue light with a diameter of over a hundred meters, Connecting Heaven and Earth.
A clear and long holy song resounded on the bloody battlefield, invigorating countless people and seemingly cleansing their souls.
The twelve Angel Battle Soldiers changed again, circling Feng Zaixing. Warm life-light flowed like starlight, falling on every ally, taking away physical and mental fatigue, restoring spirit power, and boosting all attributes by thirty percent.
In an instant, Feng Zaixing transformed from an attack system Spirit Master to a healing system one. The divine nature and healing talent of the Angel Spirit were fully activated by the life sapling, covering a radius of tens of miles.
A Ruheng, Sima Jinchi, and other experts returned to their Peak, their Aura rising steadily. Na'er and Gu Yue attacked one after another, and even the ditian's clone in the shadows changed his expression.
"Such pure vitality." ditian's clone lowered his black Dragon claws. He knew it was no longer necessary.
"Ah ah ah ah — — — —"
Upon hearing the holy song, the Dark Taotie felt as if he were in a mountain of blades and a sea of fire, letting out a pig-like shriek.
Any Holy Light Spirit Ability has only one effect on an Evil Soul Master—offense.
At this moment, the divine nature of the Angel Spirit surpassed its combat state. Feng Zaixing's Angel Bloodline originated from his mother's healing Angel. He used the Golden Behemoth to devour the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, and with the assistance of the life sapling, released healing light. Except for Divine Rank Spirits like the Pluto Sword, any evil Spirit would suffer absolute suppression.
The Dark Taotie, cultivated through evil methods, was undoubtedly a chasm away from a Divine Rank Spirit. The Holy Light forcibly purified his spirit power; every drop of holy dew was fatal arsenic, extremely poisonous.
"Hmph, let's see how you can still be arrogant!"
A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi mercilessly attacked the weakened Dark Taotie, fighting him for thousands of moves and finally capturing him.
The Dark Taotie was forced out of his Martial Soul True Body state and reverted to human form. He was unexpectedly young, appearing to be just over thirty; however, like most Evil Soul Masters, his face was bloodless.
Sima Jinchi almost split him in half with a single saber strike, but Feng Zaixing stopped him.
"It's rare to catch one alive. We must take him to Mingdu for display, public trial, and execution. Then I'll let your Dragon Slaying Saber drink its fill of blood," Feng Zaixing said in a deep voice.
He knew that there had always been dissent within the Federal Investigation Bureau regarding him, and his lightning-fast campaign was to buy time.
For this reason, he specifically chose the Human-Faced Demon Spider Clan as his second target, aiming to find more Evil Soul Masters. The result was as he wished.
The old Clan Chief of the Human-Faced Demon Spider Clan had taken an evil path to Breakthroug to Super Douluo, and was caught red-handed, fed to the life sapling.
At that time, the news of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's destruction had not yet spread within the Federation. By the time the news spread far and wide, Feng Zaixing had already leveled the Qingying Song Family and stood atop the dome of the Mingfeng Yan Family, overlooking the blood-soaked land.
The appearance of the Dark Taotie was a pleasant surprise.
Once he was escorted back to Mingdu and publicly executed, no one would question the Federal Investigation Bureau's swift and decisive actions, at least not openly.
As for whether Mingdu would infer problems with Tang San and Xuan Zi based on these two Super Douluo Evil Soul Masters, escalating from questioning the current Shrek to questioning Shrek's history, Feng Zaixing couldn't control that. He believed certain individuals wouldn't miss the opportunity.
Yu Guanjun, hidden in the night, overlooked the battlefield. His sharp gaze spotted the Taotie Clan Chief attempting to escape through the Void Realm. He snorted coldly and used his Godly Brush.
"Trying to escape? Weaving the Heaven and Earth!"
The Godly Brush connected with Heaven and Earth, using the order of the plane as a cage to imprison the Taotie Clan Chief.
Leaping a thousand meters through the Void Realm, Yu Guanjun kicked the Taotie Clan Chief in the chest and cursed, "Before, I used to wonder if I should be more restrained, but now it seems there's no need!"
"You Hidden Families really each have your own unique skills, your own imagination, each one more suicidal than the last!"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan monopolized the security industry, working as security guards by day and gangsters by night; the Qingying Family was a logistics tyrant, smuggling resources to Star Luo Dou Ling; the Mingfeng Family engaged in medical biochemical experiments; the Human-Faced Demon Spider Clan absorbed human blood for Breakthrough."
"Your Xuan Family is the most ruthless, raising Evil Soul Masters yourselves! Does the Holy Spirit Cult still have to call you fellow practitioners? The Dark Taotie has been passed down through generations. No wonder some of your historical enemies suddenly died at the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult. It turns out you did it yourselves, crying 'thief' while being the thief!"
The Taotie Clan Chief coughed twice and said with a bitter smile, "Raising bandits to enhance one's own importance and crying 'thief' while being the thief—a Family needs these dark methods to ensure its Legacy. Can you guarantee that your Yu Family has always been clean?"
"Hmph! This time, I'm going to kill to the very end. I won't stop until I've completely hollowed you all out!" Yu Guanjun said with a stern face, his Killing Intent stirring, causing the sky to change color.
The Taotie Clan Chief closed his eyes in despair. He knew it was useless to say more; today, they were completely finished.
The Dark Taotie Bloodline was the strongest Legacy of the Taotie Xuan Family that could not be exposed to the world. Although he had no right of inheritance, his status within the Xuan Family was supreme. He treated this generation's Dark Taotie even better than his own son.
"Rest assured on your journey. You are already the fifth Hidden Family I've removed from the list. You won't be alone on the Yellow Springs road."
Feng Zaixing directed the One Heart Society to clear the battlefield: "Take them away, take them away. Bring all these things that are black to the point of shining into the sunlight. Let the world see what these long-renowned prominent Families truly are."
"Everyone remember: address by position during work, obey all commands, and all spoils of war must be turned over to the public."
"Yes, Captain!" Everyone responded in unison, shouting Feng Zaixing's current position, the Captain of the Federal Investigation Bureau's First Action Squadron.
Yu Guanjun walked over, his face full of praise. "Uncovering so many strongholds and leading the team to capture a ninety-seventh level Evil Soul Master Super Douluo, young man, you have rendered great service. After you return, I'll have to give you more responsibilities."
"Can my military rank finally be raised? It's not easy."
Feng Zaixing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. His military rank was still the colonel he had been promoted to after the Heaven Dou disaster, not even a senior colonel, because he was underage.
Yu Guanjun nodded and said, "To be honest, with your merits from fighting for over half a year, breaking five Evil Soul Master strongholds, and capturing two Super Douluo Evil Soul Masters, promoting a Major General to Lieutenant General would be more than sufficient."
"At sea, you acted promptly, shelling the two Hades Emperors at all costs, and chased them with me for a day and a night; this merit, if given to some useless individuals, would be exaggerated to the heavens."
Feng Zaixing smiled faintly and said, "I understand, I understand. For example, Shen Yue, who now controls the Northern Sea Legion of the Shen Family, her merits are far inferior to ours; but because her surname is Shen, she has already been promoted to Lieutenant General."
He worked desperately for promotion, but it was too easy for the Five Great Families to rise. In another timeline, Shen Yue resigned before the start of the unification war and returned to her position in peacetime, having already been promoted to General, even more formidable than Captain Wei.
A Lieutenant General who actively avoided war could still be promoted to General. There's only one explanation: nepotism, and a very powerful connection at that.
Yu Guanjun sighed, staring at the young man who outwardly acknowledged human relations but whose eyes were full of disdain, and slowly said, "As the saying goes, a husband should not be underestimated in his youth. You have repeatedly rendered great service, and I am not afraid of others gossiping. Return to Mingdu and prepare for your promotion to Major General."
"You have rendered outstanding service to the Federation, and I will do my utmost to help you reach the Peak. I presume you wouldn't want to be inferior to people like Shen Yue when you encounter them."
"Then I thank you very much. I'll also enjoy an exceptional promotion this time."
Feng Zaixing looked around the battlefield and joked, "This Major General promotion came at a timely moment. Otherwise, my Senior Brother is a Senior Colonel, and Sima Jinchi is a Major General; sometimes I, a Colonel, worry that my words don't carry enough weight."
Yu Guanjun chuckled and said, "So far, no Major General in the Federation has a more solid record of merit before promotion than you. It's also time for your Senior Brother to be promoted; two Major Generals from the Body Sect is a remarkable story."
Feng Zaixing and Yu Guanjun chatted as they walked, then Feng Zaixing suddenly remembered something and asked, "Over at the Blood God Legion, does Teacher Mu Ye have a chance to become Blood One? I heard that becoming Blood One means becoming a Three-Star General?"
