Chapter 286: Huo Dongxue
After celebrating with the soul beasts in the Sea of Spirits for a while, Du Qianjue prepared to leave.
"Oh right." As if he had just remembered something, Du Qianjue slapped his forehead in a mock epiphany and said with a mischievous smile to the Ice Emperor, "Actually, not only was Ice Ling correct, Skydream Brother was also not wrong."
"The wedding with Xue'er is set for after I obtain my ninth soul ring, once I've broken through to the Title Douluo level. I'll then rightfully bring Xue'er home as my bride."
"Everyone should join us for the wedding feast~"
Before the soul beasts could respond, Du Qianjue disappeared from the Sea of Spirits and even cut off his connection with it to avoid being deafened by the Ice Emperor's screaming.
Sure enough.
The moment Du Qianjue left the Sea of Spirits, the Ice Emperor exploded with a scream as loud as a matcha bread roll.
"Ahhh!!!!"
"My Xue'er, my Xue'er! It hurts, it hurts so much!"
"No!!!!"
(Snowflakes flutter, the north wind howls~)
The other soul beasts in the Sea of Spirits hurriedly hid in the corners, shrinking their forms to the smallest size, staring dumbfounded as the Ice Emperor rampaged through the Sea of Spirits.
...
"What exactly is this power..." With cold eyes and an indifferent expression, the enchanting young girl looked perplexedly at the black-purple energy swirling around her hand.
"Even my martial soul..."
The girl looked in the mirror at her own eyes that were deeply enchanting with a strong hue of purple, biting her lower lip tightly.
Especially the black-purple scythe mark on her forehead, which added an unusually charming quality to her.
Clearly, she was Huo Yuhao.
However, she no longer used that name; Huo Yuhao, Huo Yun'er, and Dai Hao were names that made her feel nauseous. Dai Hao made her so angry she dreamed of destroying the White Tiger Duke's Estate. How could she tolerate having a man's trace in her name?
She would naturally not give up her mother's surname Huo, but when thinking of a new name for herself, two names involuntarily flashed through her mind.
"Dong... Xue'er..."
She didn't understand what these two names represented, but she instinctively felt a closeness to them.
Huo Dongxue.
This was the new name she gave herself.
(P.S.: Since it's about reshaping Bibi Dong's divine position, Huo Yuhao's name will use one character from Bibi Dong and her daughter Qian Renxue's names!)
Looking down at her delicate jade-like right hand, Huo Dongxue clenched her fist, and a scythe mark identical to the one on her forehead appeared on the back of her hand. Then, a streak of black-purple light flashed, and a sinister and evil scythe appeared in her hand.
Rakshasa Demonic Scythe.
Although she had never seen this scythe before, Huo Dongxue naturally knew its name as if it originally belonged to her.
"It's almost time... I can finally seek revenge..." A hint of crimson flashed in Huo Dongxue's eyes, and her face instantly twisted with resentment as soul rings lit up on her body.
Yellow, purple-purple-purple, black-black-black!
Using the devouring ability of the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe, Huo Dongxue had been frantically hunting down former students of Shrek Academy, venting all her grievances on them, and devouring their flesh with the scythe to strengthen herself.
In just one year, she had progressed from just entering the Soul Sage level to nearly breaking through to the Soul Douluo level.
The number of Shrek Academy students who died by her hand had already surpassed three digits. Her hands were long stained red with blood, and her nature was increasingly twisted.
What kept the little sanity Huo Dongxue had left was the burning desire for revenge in her heart. She couldn't bear to lose her mind and become a mere killing demon before she had utterly destroyed the White Tiger Duke's Estate and uprooted Shrek Academy.
A rustling sound came from behind.
With a sinister smile and her purple eyes turning more wicked, Huo Dongxue swung the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe in her left hand, tracing a black-purple arc in the air.
"Dongxue, I'm here..."
Swoosh—
A head with a lecherous smile was sent flying into the air, its obscene expression frozen on its face.
Decapitation!
The Rakshasa Demonic Scythe effortlessly sliced through the neck of a middle-aged Soul Sage man, ending his life instantly, while his essence was devoured by the scythe.
Only a bit of ash and a set of luxurious clothes fell to the ground.
"Shrek Academy graduates, that's all they amount to," Huo Dongxue said contemptuously, enjoying the absorption of the Soul Sage's essence and soul power.
"Men, none of them are good!"
Indeed, this Soul Sage was a graduate of Shrek Inner Court and even held the position of lord in a small city of the Fighting Spirit Empire. With Huo Dongxue's beauty, it was easy for her to ensnare him.
Now, because of his lust, he was powerless to resist and was easily slain by Huo Dongxue, his cultivation serving as nourishment for her.
The expression of the Soul Sage just before his death seemed to trigger something in Huo Dongxue, as endless malice rose in her heart, and the images of two similarly tall and burly blonde men eerily overlapped in that moment.
Qian Xunji and Dai Hao.
The former directly triggered Bibi Dong's malice, and the latter caused Huo Yun'er to lose her sanity.
Both unable to control their lower halves.
One destroyed Bibi Dong's life, turning her into a madwoman intent on destroying the continent.
The other ruined Huo Yun'er's life, leading her to suffer and die in depression.
Endless murderous intent and evil thoughts crazily sprouted in Huo Dongxue's heart, her deep purple eyes suddenly covered in blood red. At this moment, even an evil soul master standing in front of her would have to kneel down and call her ancestor.
"Die... Die!!!" Huo Dongxue screamed ferociously, bursting through the door and running wildly in the lord's mansion, cutting down any life that stood in her way with her black-purple scythe.
A bloody feast unfolded in the lord's mansion.
Under the night, only a ghostly figure continued to swing the giant scythe, and behind her were pieces of torn clothing and ash floating in the wind.
Even souls were devoured by the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe, leaving no trace in the world.
As dawn broke and sunlight fell on Huo Dongxue's face, her bewildered state gradually cleared.
The entire lord's mansion was empty, from the Soul Sage lord and all his family members to the enslaved servants and even the pets and livestock in the mansion.
No one survived.
"Am I still myself?" Huo Dongxue dispelled the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe in her hand, crying and laughing madly as she left the place.
She had already broken through to level eighty. (End of chapter)
