Chapter 123: Escape with Serious Injuries
"Have Old Mu and Old Xuan not finished their seclusion yet?"
Yan Shaozhe carefully observed and found that the incoming group consisted of several Title Douluo-level experts, but Mu En and Xuan Zi were absent. This made him feel somewhat concerned.
After all, Zhongli Wu and the Holy Spirit Sect were really troublesome.
"No, but we brought the Level 9 Soul Guidance Device we won earlier. After research by Fan Yu and the others, it was found that this Level 9 Soul Guidance Device is far more powerful than regular ones."
"And this Soul Guidance Device has a strong area attack ability, which should be enough to handle this crisis. As long as we return to the academy, we will be safe."
Elder Zhuang's brows furrowed as he kept his eyes on Zhongli Wu and the others. His expression was also filled with grave concern.
He hadn't expected Zhongli Wu, after cultivating the "Devouring Heaven Secret Technique," to be so bold as to strike against Shrek Academy.
Zhongli Wu, noticing this, used his spiritual power to check and indeed did not detect the presence of Mu En and Xuan Zi. He gradually relaxed.
He thought to himself, as expected, Shrek Academy had something going on, which was why Mu En and Xuan Zi hadn't come to the auction.
Perhaps they wanted to use the Soul Ring's level enhancement card they obtained at the last auction to break through and improve their strength in seclusion.
With this thought, a trace of contemplation flashed in Zhongli Wu's eyes. He, too, planned to go into seclusion and cultivate the "Devouring Heaven Secret Technique," striving to break through to a new realm.
If he succeeded, even if Shrek Academy had two Limit Douluo-level experts, it wouldn't be much of an obstacle for his future conquest of Douluo Continent.
"Interesting!"
Seeing the Level 9 Soul Guidance Device in front of Fan Yu, Zhongli Wu's eyes narrowed. He had forgotten that Shrek Academy still had such a trump card.
Moreover, from this Thunder Destroyer Cannon, he could clearly sense a deadly sense of danger.
At this moment, the Thunder Destroyer Cannon's surface began to emit purple-black lightning, releasing a powerful and oppressive aura. Zhongli Wu's expression darkened slightly.
"This is bad, the Thunder Destroyer Cannon seems to have stored a great deal of energy. Everyone, be careful!"
Zhongli Wu shouted loudly. After all, the power of lightning was a natural nemesis for their kind of martial souls.
If this Thunder Destroyer Cannon unleashed a strong attack, even though he might dodge, the protectors around him wouldn't be able to block it.
After all, this Thunder Destroyer Cannon was an area-of-effect group attack skill, and a Title Douluo definitely couldn't completely block it. Moreover, the explosive power of the lightning would be their natural enemy.
However, it was already too late.
"Boom!"
At Old Song's command, a cannonball made of thunder energy shot toward Zhongli Wu and the others.
The cannonball made of thunder energy caused the void to tremble violently. The space around it started to warp, and the cannonball shot toward Zhongli Wu with an unimaginable speed, transcending space itself.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul True Body!"
"Ninth Soul Skill: Death Demon Abyss!"
Seeing this, Zhongli Wu immediately activated the "Devouring Heaven Secret Technique," channeling all of his strength to resist the strike.
At the same time, Zhongli Wu immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body, and the ninth 100,000-year Soul Ring on him radiated a brilliant red light.
Endless evil energy filled the entire area.
Accompanied by the evil energy, a massive black abyss formed behind Zhongli Wu, from which waves of dark energy erupted, releasing an overwhelming pressure.
The protectors beside Zhongli Wu immediately released their martial souls and infused their power into the Demon Abyss behind him, making the abyss's devouring power even stronger.
"This..."
On Shrek Academy's side, Old Song, Elder Zhuang, and Yan Shaozhe were all stunned as they witnessed Zhongli Wu's soul skill.
This power was incredibly strong, and everything around seemed to be consumed by it.
Fortunately, the few of them were guarding the other students from the academy. Otherwise, everyone would probably have been sucked in.
They kept releasing their own soul power, protecting those around them to prevent any sudden developments.
"Boom!"
As the Thunder Destroyer Cannon crashed toward Zhongli Wu, his Death Demon Abyss, with its endless devouring power, kept absorbing the cannonball's energy.
Even so, the tremendous shockwave still put pressure on Zhongli Wu.
But since he had cultivated the "Devouring Heaven Secret Technique," which allowed him to devour any soul-powered object, this Thunder Cannonball was no exception.
Thus, as Zhongli Wu continually activated the "Devouring Heaven Secret Technique," the energy of the cannonball was gradually absorbed by him.
At this moment, Shrek Academy's group noticed the situation and their expressions changed slightly, deeply realizing the strength of the "Devouring Heaven Secret Technique."
"Run!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shrek Academy's group quickly retreated.
Old Song used her extreme speed to fly toward Shrek Academy.
"Trying to escape? Have you asked me?" Zhongli Wu sneered as he saw Shrek Academy's group trying to flee. Even while absorbing the energy of the Thunder Destroyer Cannon, he immediately struck.
His eighth Soul Ring exploded with a blazing red light.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Death God's Strike!"
In an instant, a black streak of light cut through the sky, heading straight for Shrek Academy's group.
Wherever it passed, the air vibrated violently, sending ripples through it, and the surrounding everything was infected with endless evil energy.
"Not good!"
The escaping Shrek Academy group was horrified when they felt the pressure. Old Song immediately activated her eighth Soul Ring, unleashing a powerful aura.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Green Shadow Shield!"
A huge defensive barrier formed in front of them.
However, when this shield collided with the Death God's Strike, the immense shock caused the shield to shatter almost instantly.
The black streak of light, like a black scythe, directly shattered the barrier, and the remaining attack heavily struck Old Song.
Old Song coughed up blood and fell unconscious, seriously injured.
Yan Shaozhe and the others' faces changed drastically. They quickly continued to flee toward Shrek Academy with Old Song.
Elder Zhuang also released powerful healing energy, helping Old Song ease her internal injuries. Now, they could only hope to get back to the academy to make further plans.
Zhongli Wu sensed the other party's presence gradually fading and sighed helplessly.
However, after receiving the attack from his eighth Soul Skill, even if they didn't die, they would be heavily injured and wouldn't be able to pose any threat to him for a long time.
He hadn't planned on staying much longer. He turned to the protectors beside him and said, "It's a pity they escaped. Let's go back, regroup, and then find an opportunity to deal with Shrek Academy."
The protectors nodded, and they followed Zhongli Wu as they left the area.
