"Hehehe~"
The unpleasant laughter was extremely jarring in the air.
The Fallen Soul Master then placed the two children in his arms in front of him.
He attempted to use the children around him to buy time so that he could recover from his injuries and kill Song Zhe.
However, the person he encountered was Song Zhe, a person who could not be restrained by rules.
He knew perfectly well that this was a safe haven, and that the two children were merely a shield for the Fallen Soul Master.
Even if he lets go, that Fallen Soul Master will not let the two children go, and may even harm more children and himself.
Therefore, Song Zhe's hand, wielding the grass sword, did not pause for even a moment.
The sky full of sword energy directly attacked the Fallen Soul Master.
"You hypocrites, you always say we practice our skills using children's flesh and blood, but you don't value their lives at all!"
The Fallen Soul Master sneered.
What he hated most were these sanctimonious moralists in front of him, who always used the name of justice.
In fact, they are no less indifferent to life than Fallen Soul Masters.
Fallen Soul Masters do indeed use humans to practice their skills, but even when he cultivated to the level of Soul Douluo, he only consumed a few thousand young boys and girls.
On the Contrary, some people kill tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of people at the slightest disagreement.
The loss of lives in such a manner is far more terrifying than that of these Fallen Soul Masters.
"Can I save them by stopping? My only option is to kill you so that they can live."
Song Zhe, however, did not take it to heart; in some aspects, it was necessary to make choices.
The flesh and blood of those two children can help the Fallen Soul Master recover his strength. If he stops, the Fallen Soul Master will only become stronger.
However, if he doesn't stop, the two children's blood essence will continue to be absorbed by the Fallen Soul Master.
When he used to watch TV dramas, he often saw the good guys get beaten half to death because they were being blackmailed by others.
If it weren't for the protagonist's halo, the hero would have been killed by the villains countless times.
Song Zhe didn't believe in these things. He didn't think he was that lucky, especially within the confines of his simulations.
In this survival space, there is only death and passing the level. He was certain that the two children were not the people the simulator had asked him to protect.
The simulator indicated that the person he was to protect was a little girl.
However, the two boys were now in the hands of the Fallen Soul Master.
"If you don't stop, how will you know you can't save them? You just can't bear to put yourself in danger and be threatened."
The Fallen Soul Master's face was filled with contempt for Song Zhe.
It was as if the seemingly righteous person before him was so heinous and so chilling.
"Ha, I have never been threatened in my life, so you should die."
Song Zhe manipulated the flying flowers of his grass sword and immediately charged towards the Fallen Soul Master.
The sword energy, resembling a tornado, swept straight towards the Fallen Soul Master, interspersed with nine special sword leaves.
During the battle just now, he discovered that this Fallen Soul Master's body was excessively strong.
Therefore, this attack activated absolute defense penetration, absolute critical hit, and absolute accuracy.
Even if the two children were in front, the attack would still hit the Fallen Soul Master.
"Sixth Soul Skill: Blood Wolf Protective Shield"
At the same time, the Fallen Soul Master threw the two children out; they were now shriveled corpses.
Regardless of whether Song Zhe gives up resisting or not, he(the fallen soul master) cannot possibly let go of these two children who can help him recover from his injuries.
A huge blood wolf appeared behind the Fallen Soul Master.
Immediately afterwards, a blood-red shield protected his body.
This time, he did not resort to attacking methods.
For him, using offensive methods would consume a lot of his own blood energy.
His injuries were already severe; if he were to use a wide-range attack, it would be very disadvantageous for him.
Therefore, he used his sixth soul skill to enhance his attack and defense.
In a moment, he prepared to get close to Song Zhe and kill him outright.
As a Beast Soul Master, melee combat is the best choice.
"Pfft~"
However, the Fallen Soul Master never expected that the sword energy filling the sky would directly pierce through the blood-red protective shield.
The sounds of sharp weapons embedding themselves into bodies echoed continuously in the air.
It's hard to imagine how those leaves imbued with sword energy managed to penetrate his body.
Wait until the violent energy dissipates.
At this moment, the Fallen Soul Master had completely disappeared in front of him, leaving only a pool of blood.
It's not that the Fallen Soul Master was so powerful that he escaped from Song Zhe's grasp.
Instead, the Fallen Soul Master was torn to pieces and killed until not a trace remained.
Only a small amount of bloodstains indicated that he had just been there.
"Cough cough~"
Song Zhe coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He had been holding on and hadn't given up.
In the first round of combat, the Fallen Soul Master's eighth Soul Skill caused him considerable injury.
The countless streams of blood energy rushed into his body, causing his meridians to become disordered.
This was because he practiced Taoist techniques; otherwise, he might have suffered severed meridians.
It must be said that the strength of that Soul Douluo was absolutely comparable to that of a Titled Douluo.
Even Poison Douluo didn't make him suffer such a great loss.
Of course, the old poisoner also gave him leeway, after all, he was the man his granddaughter liked.
"Big brother, are you alright?"
Just then, a girl in a purple dress walked straight towards Song Zhe.
Those clear eyes were filled with worry for Song Zhe.
In contrast, the others stared at Song Zhe with expressions of terror, as if they were afraid that he would kill them.
After all, they had all witnessed what had just happened.
Their two companions had fallen into the hands of the Fallen Soul Master, and Song Zhe had no intention of saving them at all.
For them, it was as if they had just escaped one wolf's den and were now entering another.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Song Zhe asked with a puzzled look.
The girl in front of him is different from everyone else.
She stood out from the crowd, seemingly out of place in this world.
"Big brother saved us, so Dong'er isn't afraid at all!"
Dong'er shook her head, without a trace of flattery, her eyes radiating sincerity.
"Your name is Dong'er?"
Song Zhe was somewhat taken aback.
Unexpectedly, the girl in front of him was named Dong'er, the same name as Bibi Dong.
"Yes, I'm six years old this year. Big brother, what's your name? My parents are dead. Can I follow you from now on? I want to become stronger. I want to avenge them."
The light in Dong'er's eyes grew even more resolute.
In this world where strength reigns supreme, weakness is the original sin. Because she is weak, she will be bullied, so she must climb to the top step by step.
Only by standing at the pinnacle of this world can she avoid being bullied.
"My name is the Fallen Immortal. I can only stay here for a very short time, so I definitely can't teach you. But I can send you to a place where I can teach you."
(TL: im not sure if he was trying to say his name Song Zhe or use his alias 'the fallen immortal' since both of them are spelled the same hence why he used that as an alias to begin with, and bibi dong iirc only knew him by his alias when he first met her)
Song Zhe said with a hint of helplessness.
