The ultimate transmission fear beast stands on the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 396 Prisoner of Fate

Standing in front of the collapsed ruins, everyone fell silent.

It can still shelter a broken home in a storm, but it cannot resist the smallest flame. The washed-out clothes, the rickety old bed, the many-patched dolls, everything was burned.

Dugu Bo, who had the coldest temperament, moved his mouth and wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back and couldn't say anything.

This is how the world is; only soul masters with power are qualified to decide fate.

As for the ants who are not even soul masters and have no power at all, no matter whether they are rich or poor, their life and death actually all depends on the thoughts of the strong.

The strong trample on the weak, and the weak trample on the weaker ones. This is the truth of the world.

Is it possible that some people would decide not to go out because they are worried about hurting ants?
No, not even the most radical animal rights activists.

For example, in the original novel, when Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer over Wuhun City, before he attacked with all his strength, did he ever think for a moment about the innocent spectators watching the battle below?

It is precisely because of his so-called "heart of a strong man" that he has become the current Haotian Douluo. Therefore, no matter which world he is in, in order to achieve his own goals, Tang Hao will not mind taking action against ordinary people.

Just like in this world where Tang San and Yu Xiaogang are only strangers to each other, Tang Hao would choose to show off in the densely populated Tiandou City in order to show Tang San the importance of his fists.

Of course he loves people, but first, he needs to define what a person is.

"You see it."

Seeing Ma Hongjun running away like crazy, Qin Mingguyu ignored him and followed him. Bai Lang, who had a chance to escape, chose to follow him out of concern.

Facing the ruins, his eyes revealed sadness, and he spoke slowly: "The bright and beautiful seaside city under the sun, its cruel true face."

"We have grown up eating the corpses of our compatriots. If we don't resist, sooner or later, all of us will die like them if we don't want to become the hyenas of the Qi family."

Without waiting for their response, Bai Lang continued, "It's okay if you don't want to leave. This is the poorest place in Seaside City. Those arrogant hyenas in the City Lord's Mansion won't come here."

"By the way, the girl is not missing, but was taken away by the Qi family."

After leaving these words, Bai Lang turned around and left, limping towards the next battlefield.

Qin Ming turned his head and looked at his back, and he no longer had the intention to take action.

The problem is very clear. The riots taking place today are not for the purpose of seizing power, but a necessary struggle for survival.

Even the soul masters who make money easily are complaining. One can only imagine the quality of life of the larger number of civilians who can barely make a living.

Qin Ming himself is a commoner, otherwise he would not have studied at Shrek Academy.

In Qin Ming's view, they were just poor people who chose a life of mediocrity over a glorious death.

Yes, of course he is a poor man.

The Soul Saint who possesses a martial soul avatar and the Soul Master who does not have a martial soul avatar are creatures living in two completely different worlds.

Seeing that no one was willing to ask him to stay, Oscar couldn't help but say, "Hey, you're going to die."

"I know." Without even turning his head, Bai Lang waved his hand and said, "So what? If I don't die today, I will die tomorrow."

"You and the City Lord's Mansion can sit down and have a good talk."

"There's nothing to talk about. The last guy who thought they could talk had lost an eye and a leg."

"And now, he is our leader."

Boom!

The lightning that penetrated the sky and the earth illuminated the entire city. Fang Qi looked at the city lord's mansion in the distance and raised his hand to touch his eye mask.

Seeing this, Li Tian at the side asked with concern: "Does it still hurt?"

Fang Qi closed his remaining eye and nodded slightly: "Yeah."

To this day, he still can't forget that rainy night.

The man he once thought was a like-minded brother actually plotted to steal his precious flight routes, seize the organization he had worked so hard to maintain, and even destroyed his body.

Every time he found out that everything he was once proud of had become a tool for others to monopolize and make profits, his heart couldn't stop bleeding.

"Let me see, isn't this Archie?"

The tightly closed door suddenly opened, and the silent guards filed out one after another, then parted to both sides, revealing Qi Langhai at the end of the team.

He hurried back home through the secret passage. Then he heard from Qi Xiaofeng that all the defense lines outside had been breached, and he immediately led his soldiers out to meet the enemy.

Seeing that the person coming was his old acquaintance Fang Qi, he couldn't help but laugh.

Ignoring the scumbags behind him, Qi Langhai opened his arms, as if he was meeting an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years, and welcomed him warmly: "After so many years, we thought you were dead."

"Why, you finally figured it out, are you willing to join us?"

"asshole!"

Seeing one of the culprits who caused his once high-spirited uncle to end up in this state, Li Tian instantly became furious and couldn't help but want to hit him.

"calm."

Fang Qi was also angry, but his experience had taught him to bury his anger deep in his heart. He grabbed Li Tian and threw him behind him, saying, "Yes, I'm back from hell."

For sailors who love the sea, a world without the ability to play games with the waves is tantamount to hell. The former captain of the Black Flag has lived in this dark hell for eight years.

But Qi Langhai is a sea soul master and a noble, not a real sailor, he can't understand Fang Qi's current anger at all.

He smiled and waved his hands, saying, "How can it be hell? Although we stole your sea charts and sailor's home, and caused you to lose an eye and a leg, we did not kill you."

He took a quick look around, but the crowd of people didn't change his expression at all. Finding that he couldn't even gather a handful of black spirit rings, Qi Langhai couldn't help but laugh.

"Come on, Archie, you don't think you can win."

Qi Langhai covered his stomach and laughed wildly, then wiped his face vigorously, "You and I are both Soul Emperors. You should be very clear about the strength of a Soul Emperor, and even more aware of the terrifying nature of a Soul Saint."

"How about this, I have a good suggestion."

Qi Langhai said: "You let them go home, and then come in with me. As long as you say a few nice words to Big Brother and show some weakness, I promise that he will forgive you for what happened, and we will continue to be good brothers. By the way, I will help you find a good place for your men."

"How about Sailor's House? It's an organization you founded yourself, so it's only natural for you to go back and take over."

"Ha." With a disdainful sneer, Fang Qi's face changed and he cursed: "Go back? Go back and become the dog of the Qi family?!"

"I shouldn't have agreed to let you board my ship. I was crazy to think there were still good guys among the nobles!"

"Now, I must correct the mistakes of the past with my own hands."

He pulled off the blindfold on his face, and a strange white light flashed in the depths of his empty eye sockets. Fang Qi shouted, "Abyss Walrus, possess me."

A thick beard suddenly grew under the nose, and the body became bloated, forming a thick dark gray skin that was strong enough to withstand the high pressure of the deep sea. The teeth at the corners of the mouth extended vertically downwards and then curved inwards to become fangs.

Two yellow, two purple and two black, six soul rings rose from the ground one after another, announcing that the Soul Emperor-level powerhouses officially joined the battlefield from this moment on.

Pop, pop, pop.

Noticing the fleeting white light, Qi Langhai couldn't help but applaud and laugh: "I see, no wonder you suddenly had the courage to come to us." "What? It turns out you got a rare head soul bone."

"Yes."

Because he was missing a leg, Fang Qi couldn't support his increased weight with just one leg, so he leaned over and lay on the ground. "I will use this soul bone given by my friend to kill you all."

"Why bother?" Shaking his head helplessly, Qi Langhai sighed: "Silent Dog Shark, possessed."

Unlike Qi Tao who was in another battlefield, Qi Langhai became slimmer after being possessed by the martial spirit, his abdomen was bright purple, and he no longer had an exaggeratedly big mouth.

The six soul rings of the same color made Fang Qi, who possessed soul bones, look serious.

"rest assured,"

Qi Langhai grinned, revealing his densely packed sharp teeth.

"Since we have known each other for many years, I will definitely make good use of this soul bone you sent me."

Bai Lang left, and Qin Ming finally did not take action.

Taking a deep breath and slowly letting out the annoyance in his heart, he reached out and patted Ma Hongjun, who was hanging his head in front of the ruins, and said softly, "Let's go back."

Qin Ming's mind was still relatively normal. From Ma Hongjun's performance just now, he could guess that this junior might have some connection with this family.

However, Qin Ming was not worried that Ma Hongjun would get too excited about this.

After all, soul masters and ordinary people are two completely different classes. When a person dies, it is like a light goes out. No matter whether it is goodwill or anything else, when a person is gone, he is gone.

Time will heal all pains.

".Well, let's go."

There was no reason to refuse, so Ma Hongjun wiped away the rain that had streaked across his eyes and prepared to leave with everyone.

"Hey, the skinny guy with red hair."

At this moment, the door of the equally dilapidated house next door suddenly opened, and an old man walked out tremblingly.

Glancing at the direction Bai Lang left, and seeing that he didn't come back, the old man looked at the others with a wary look and waved to Ma Hongjun: "Yes, that's right, it's you, come here quickly."

"I?"

Pointing at himself, seeing that the old man was determined and Gu You and Qin Ming did not show any opposition, Ma Hongjun trotted to the old man and asked, "Old man, what do you want from me?"

"Take it back, young man."

The withered hand took the initiative to hold Ma Hongjun's. Before he could say anything, he felt something extra in his palm.

Looking down, he found two familiar gold soul coins wandering around and returning to their owner's hands again.

"In order to treat the disease, their family can't possibly not use the gold soul coins." The old man smiled bitterly: "Juanjuan trusts you, just take it back."

"Things are unpredictable in this world. Don't seek revenge. Just live well with your share."

With a sigh, the old man handed the two gold soul coins back to Ma Hongjun, then tremblingly returned to the room and closed the door, leaving him alone standing in the wind and rain.

Oscar, who was discussing with Qin Ming whether to go to the next town overnight or spend the night in the wild, noticed that something was wrong with Ma Hongjun, so he walked over and asked with concern, "Thin guy, are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Wisps of white smoke rose from his body, and ominous black evil fire shone through his body. Ma Hongjun's eyes were dull, and he kept muttering, "I'm fine, I'm fine."

"Oh, that's it."

Oscar was frightened by the black flames that he hadn’t seen for a long time. He turned around and ran towards Qin Ming, shouting, “Brother, Teacher Qin Ming, help!”

"Hongjun, wake up!"

Qin Ming reacted promptly. He immediately stepped forward to protect Oscar, who had almost no fighting ability, and tried to use his voice to wake Ma Hongjun's consciousness.

At the same time, he was watching Ma Hongjun's every move with a vigilant look, fearing that he would be provoked and unable to control himself, and attack himself or those around him.

There was a precedent for this matter. For the sake of his mentor and his junior fellow student, he also specifically looked through the records of the fallen people in the Tiandou Royal Academy.

Maybe he was lucky. The last time Ma Hongjun was affected by the evil fire, he remained rational in his behavior and did not spit fire everywhere for no reason.

But most of the fallen people are not as lucky as Ma Hongjun. Once they fall, their entire behavior will change drastically in an instant.

A gentle person will become cold-blooded, a compassionate person will be indifferent to all suffering, and an ascetic person will suddenly live a luxurious and decadent life.

The above are all supported by actual cases, so he is worried whether Ma Hongjun can still stay sober this time.

if not
"Xiao You, do you have any medicine on you?"

Seeing that calling had no effect, Qin Ming placed his hope on Gu You. As long as there was the medicine prepared by Tang San, it should be able to suppress the evil attribute in Ma Hongjun's body.

"Xiaoyou?"

Without waiting for Gu You's answer, Qin Ming glanced sideways and saw Gu You walking up to Ma Hongjun without hesitation.

Then he slapped me in the face.

Snapped! ! !
The force was great and the sound was crisp, and a big red handprint was clearly engraved on Ma Hongjun's face.

"Wake up, idiot!"

Good news for obsessive-compulsive disorder patients. Seeing that Ma Hongjun did not react, Gu You slapped him again with his backhand, making both sides symmetrical.

"Brother."

Ma Hongjun raised his head, the confusion in his heart almost overflowed, and he couldn't even say a smooth sentence: "She is that girl Wu Juanjuan. I gave her these two gold soul coins."

He stretched out his hand and showed Gu You the half-melted pure gold soul coin in his hand: "She had too many opportunities to choose to leave."

"so what."

Gu You mercilessly slapped away his outstretched hand, and the half-melted gold coin fell into the water on the ground, cooling rapidly and solidifying into a strange shape.

"Fate has already determined that from the moment she awakened her soul power and became a soul master, her beauty was destined to lead to today's tragedy."

"So what if I leave Seaside City with two broken gold soul coins? When I go to other cities, will the nobles there be any better?"

"You are still too young." Gu You scolded with a tone of regret: "A common person who can be seen everywhere, are you going to protect her for the rest of your life?"

"What happened in Seaside City has nothing to do with us. Now, get out of here with us."

Gu You turned around, raised his hand and waved everyone to leave.

"No, I can't leave. I will definitely bring her back from the Qi family."

Ma Hongjun slowly raised his head, and his refocused pupils flashed with determination and ruthlessness.

"Or let them pay with blood."
