Ling's casual remark caused a huge uproar on the entire competition field.
Mu Chenxi and the referee both stared wide-eyed at Ling, who remained calm.
"Captain of the Necromancer Squad, are you sure about the decision you just made?" the referee asked again.
The Necromancers were the Empire's favorites to win the championship, but now they had surrendered without even fighting, which he couldn't understand.
Zero's strength is undeniable, could it be?
At this moment, he also turned his attention to the Shrek Academy team leader.
Did they secretly reach some kind of unspeakable agreement with Shrek Academy?
Yes, it was the same during the round-robin tournament; the Necromancers surrendered to Shrek Academy right away.
This is outrageous! They have no regard for the overall situation of the empire at all. This is a war between nations!
Meanwhile, Mu Chenxi on the other side was already furious.
"Leader of the Necromancer's Guild, what do you mean?" She didn't expect her opponent to surrender so easily. With her strength, she didn't need the opponent to surrender to suppress everything, but Zero's move completely disrupted her plans.
Moreover, when she saw the reactions of the people in the rest area and the spectator area below the competition stage, she was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder. Because of Zero's actions, some people already suspected that Shrek Academy was involved in some kind of shady dealings.
Below the competition stage, everyone from Shrek Academy looked at each other in bewilderment.
They turned their gaze to Wang Yan, only to find that Wang Yan was also completely bewildered.
"Teacher Wang, are you sure we didn't bribe the Necromancer Squad?"
Wang Yan was speechless.
"Of course not! Shrek Academy is the most just and rule-abiding academy on the continent. How could we do such a despicable thing?"
"I understand."
At this moment, the two brothers, Zhang Tou Shu and Zhang Tou Mu, spoke up from the crowd.
"What is it?"
All eyes immediately turned to the two of them.
"Do you remember when Marshal Xingluo came to our Sea God Pavilion for a meeting? He carried Senior Sister right in. Although Marshal Xingluo is dead, people still love him because of his influence. As the leader of the Necromancer's Holy Law Cult, Marshal Xingluo's power naturally knew about his relationship with Senior Sister. So, everything makes sense."
"That is indeed quite reasonable."
Everyone thought it made sense, except for Beibei, who felt it was a bit strange.
Senior Sister has someone she likes, which is a good thing, but Xingluo Shuai has already sent his letter.
This is truly a terrible tragedy.
On the competition stage, facing Mu Chenxi's murderous gaze, Ling Yi remained fearless.
"Literally, you won this match and advanced to the quarterfinals, while we lost. That's it."
After saying that, Zero turned around happily and was about to walk off the stage.
However, Mu Chenxi's figure quickly appeared in front of her, looking at her with an imposing aura.
"Wait a minute, explain yourself clearly. Why are you admitting defeat?"
Ling smiled faintly, then walked around her and passed by her.
Mu Chenxi was clearly enraged by Ling's attitude, and an incomparably domineering aura appeared on her body as she crushed towards Ling.
"stop."
The referee appeared in front of her instantly, blocking her movement.
"The other side has already admitted defeat. Please exit the match in an orderly manner. Otherwise, I will consider you to be provoking the dignity of my Star Luo Empire."
The referee's words immediately dampened Mu Chenxi's momentum, but her anger did not disappear. After glaring fiercely at Ling, she walked off the stage unwillingly.
The fact that such an epic battle ended so dramatically has led the audience to suspect foul play.
However, it was only for a short while before everyone was drawn to the third match, another clash between two strong teams, which was also very exciting to watch.
The Empire of Sun and Moon, the Great Forest of Demons.
If the Star Dou Great Forest is the soul beast basin of the entire Douluo Continent and the center for soul masters to obtain soul rings, then the Demon Great Forest is the soul beast paradise for all forces on the Sun Moon Continent.
This place is home to most of the soul beasts of the entire Sun Moon Continent, making it a gathering place for soul beasts that is in no way inferior to the Star Dou Great Forest.
A single demonic forest sustained two-thirds of the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire.
Since the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest were wiped out, the Demon Great Forest has become the place with the most soul beasts living on the entire Douluo Star.
The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest is the Lake of Life, which is controlled by Di Tian, while the core of the Demon Great Forest is the Swamp of Evil Eyes, which is ruled by the Evil Eyes Clan.
Although the Evil Eye Tyrant is incredibly powerful, his fertility did not diminish with his increased strength. As a result, his offspring are scattered throughout the entire Demon Forest.
Among these offspring, even the least experienced had a cultivation level of 100,000 years. Among them, its eldest son, the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, had a cultivation level of 200,000 years.
After the death of its father, the Evil Eye Tyrant, it successfully inherited his estate, ruled the entire Demon Forest, and even took all of his father's concubines, living a life of extravagance and debauchery.
His father's death made him very happy.
Being suppressed by an invincible father is a very painful thing.
In the Swamp of the Evil Eye, the Evil Eye Tyrant is indulging in pleasure with his concubine.
Its father's concubines were all the most beautiful beings in the Evil Eye Clan, each with a great many eyes. Unlike its wife, who only had ten eyes and was extremely ugly, the peerless enchantress with twenty eyes that it was currently holding in its arms was its favorite.
It was about to begin its day-long plan to create humans after leisurely drinking a cup of wine made from the blood of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. However, the next moment, its entire body suddenly froze.
All the eyes on the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord's body turned into purple tadpole shapes and remained motionless.
A moment later, its body trembled violently, and at the same time, crystal tears flowed from all its eyes.
"My father, the Evil Eye Tyrant, you died a terrible death! I will avenge you."
With those words, the peerless enchantress beside him was startled. Then, she saw the tentacles of the Evil Eye Tyrant suddenly cover his head.
"Hahaha, good riddance! With the old man dead, everything you had is mine now."
However, its expression soon turned sad again.
"My dear father, you died so tragically. I will avenge you."
"Not reporting"
"Report"
"No"
After running amok for a full quarter of an hour, the Evil Eye Tyrant finally calmed down. However, its aura and appearance made all its confidants feel extremely unfamiliar with it.
It flew out of the Swamp of Evil Eyes, its forty-nine enormous tentacles blotting out the sky and exuding the might of the Evil Eyes beast.
"Evil Eye Clan, heed my command! Our father, the Evil Eye Tyrant, was brutally murdered by humans. This is an insult to our Demon Forest and to our Evil Eye Clan. I have decided to launch a beast tide to avenge our father."
"Beast tide, beast tide, beast tide."
"Revenge, revenge, revenge."
"Kill each other, kill each other, kill each other
Seven days later, at the border of the Demon Forest, in the city of Holy Monarch.
The Demon Forest and the Evil Eye Clan hold extraordinary significance in the Sun and Moon Empire; they are even considered the empire's totem. Among the five guardians of the Sun and Moon Empire is the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Corps.
This city is located next to the Demon Forest, so it is named Holy Monarch City, and the Evil Eye Clan is worshipped as saints.
After the death of the Evil Eye Tyrant, a large-scale sacrificial ceremony was held in Holy City to commemorate the deceased Holy Lord.
However, this city, which is so close to the demon forest, is now under tight security, with its gates closed and the entire city on high alert, in a state of high alert, that is, a state of war preparedness.
Song Que, the city lord of Saint Monarch City, is a level 93 titled Douluo and a level 9 Soul Master. His martial soul is the Evil Eye, and his natal level 9 Soul Tool is also the Evil Eye. Moreover, he named his own son Song Evil Eye.
He was a fanatical follower of the Evil Eye.
However, the existence of his faith has kept him awake for the past few days.
The Demon Forest is teeming with beasts.
The news that a Soul Beast Forest, which is in no way inferior to the Star Dou Great Forest, has launched a beast tide is terrifying. Even Shrek Academy has to mobilize the entire continent to barely resist it, so Song Que is naturally at a loss.
Although the Holy Monarch City was not entirely without power, the scale of this beast tide was truly astonishing.
Since the high-level soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest became extinct, the soul masters of Douluo Continent have set their sights on the Demon Great Forest.
Meanwhile, the underground forces of the Sun and Moon Empire saw huge profits in this and began smuggling soul beasts from the Demon Forest.
However, Xu Tianran's keen political insight allowed him to immediately find the key point. He immediately persuaded His Majesty to station the Empire's Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps, Evil Monarch Soul Instructor Corps, and Terror Claw Soul Instructor Corps near Holy Monarch City.
The major Soul Instructor Corps of the Empire are not actually stationed on the border. The border guards of the Sun Moon Empire are the most basic border guards of the Sun Moon Empire. The Guardian Hand of the Nation is not easily mobilized. Therefore, it doesn't really matter where they are gathered in Holy Monarch City.
Moreover, the current national policy of the empire is to prevent the soul beasts of the Sun Moon Empire from flowing into the Douluo Continent, which has also made this the best training ground.
Although the Terrorclaw Soul Guide Corps suffered heavy losses, two and a half Soul Guide Legions, with hundreds of thousands of border guards, were able to hold off the beast tide. The progress of these soul beasts was not a major problem.
However, blocking them is certainly not a problem, but repelling them is simply impossible, and the duration of the resistance is also debatable.
"Lord Song, what's the situation? How large is the beast tide in the Demon Forest?" Three figures, like streaks of light and shadow, appeared rapidly on the city wall, looked at Song Que, who had a solemn expression, and asked.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Song Que placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly to show his respect.
Although both were titled Douluo and level nine Soul Masters, the newcomer's status and strength were superior to his.
The red-clad old lady is Luan Feng, the commander of the Fire Phoenix Soul Guidance Army, a veteran powerhouse of the empire. The rugged-looking middle-aged man and the delicate-looking middle-aged man are Wang Yiheng of the Evil Soul Guidance Army and Liao Jie, the newly appointed commander of the Terror Claw Soul Guidance Army.
The strength and status of these individuals were roughly equal, and they were all worthy of Song Que's respect.
"The soul beasts in the Demon Forest are still reinforcing their forces. Eighteen of the twenty-four demon tribes have already responded. The chieftain of each tribe is a descendant of the Evil Eye Tyrant. Their strength is beyond doubt. This time, we will have to face an attack from at least twenty more hundred-thousand-year soul beasts."
"Moreover, the Evil Eye Clan excels at mental attacks. Without a mental defense soul guide device of level seven or above, we have no chance of winning on the front lines."
After hearing Song Que's report, they realized that the situation was tricky.
Wang Yiheng looked indignant.
"Damn it, what does it have to do with us that the Evil Eye Tyrant is going to Douluo Continent to die?"
"That's right, it's really speechless. Just recently, His Highness dispatched a large number of troops to the north for an expedition. Otherwise, with the unity of our Sun Moon Empire and the strength of the whole country, would we be afraid of this mere beast tide? These are truly troubled times!"
Luanfeng looked solemn.
"What is the Empire's attitude? What did His Majesty say?"
Liao Jie immediately replied
"His Highness's support and orders are on their way."
As soon as Liao Jie finished speaking, Luan Feng and Wang Yiheng's gazes turned cold, their sharp eyes fixed on him.
Luanfeng's icy voice suddenly rang out.
"Commander Liao, I was asking for His Majesty's opinion, not His Highness the Crown Prince's."
Liao Jie is Liao Mengkai's younger brother and comes from a prominent noble family in the Sun Moon Empire. He is not afraid of these two army commanders.
"His Majesty is seriously ill, and His Highness the Crown Prince is overseeing the country. Upon learning of this, His Highness the Crown Prince, who is far away in the far north, dispatched his trusted confidant with the Dragon Seal of Military Power to mobilize the Zhen Dong Army from the border to provide support. At the same time, he also petitioned His Majesty to mobilize the imperial edict and dispatch the major sects within the empire to provide support. Judging by the time, they will arrive in three days."
"Reinforcements? What he should be doing now is withdrawing his troops immediately, gathering the strength of the empire, and repelling the beast tide, instead of saving a bunch of dead people for his so-called throne."
"Who are you calling a dead person? Are you cursing my brother to die?" Liao Jie's aura suddenly surged as he released his martial spirit, glaring angrily at Luan Feng.
"The Evil Eye Clan of the Demon Forest has been dormant for so long. They didn't act when the Evil Emperor died, but launched a beast tide while my empire was marching north and its internal forces were weak. It's clear they've long wanted revenge, but they were afraid of our strength and didn't act. They've been patiently waiting for this opportunity. Your Highness, however, doesn't know the gravity of the situation. This is a beast tide that is in no way inferior to the one at Shrek Academy. Do you think you can repel it by sending a few reinforcements?"
"That's a woman's view. If Your Highness withdraws your troops to reinforce the north, all the resources in the far north will belong to the Douluo Continent. Can't you tell which is more important?" Liao Jie didn't tolerate Luan Feng at all and directly retorted to her, his momentum no less than hers.
"you"
"Alright, we're all serving the empire, so let's put these things aside for now. His Highness wouldn't joke about the beast tide."
Everyone knew the seriousness of the situation. The appearance of more than twenty 100,000-year-old Evil Eyes as commanders on the battlefield of the beast tide was a devastating blow to ordinary taxi soldiers. Only the Soul Guidance Legion could use the Soul Guidance Device and firepower to suppress the mental confusion and mental shock.
If no reinforcements arrive for a long time, the Holy City will surely fall.
Luanfeng merely snorted coldly and did not pursue Xu Tianran's arbitrary decision any further.
In fact, His Majesty the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire has many children, although many of them have died mysteriously. Crown Prince Xu Tianran is very powerful, but even though Xu Tianran has controlled most of the empire's power and military authority, some of the empire's veteran forces and strongmen do not support him much, and the Sun and Moon Emperor is no exception.
However, the remaining princes were all incompetent and unable to help with state affairs, which is why His Majesty entrusted the power of overseeing the country to Xu Tianran.
In the eyes of all the nobles, even a prince from a collateral branch was more suitable for the status of emperor than Xu Tianran.
No matter how outstanding Xu Tianran was, his one major flaw was his Achilles' heel, leaving him with no choice but to conquer all the powers and nobles of the empire.
Xu Tianran was disabled and infertile. As emperor, he had no children, so his position was definitely unstable.
This is also why Xu Tianran, who could have become emperor at any time, still had to humble himself and try to win over Mingdetang.
Luanfeng admired Xu Tianran's talent, but she did not support him in becoming emperor.
She was certain that Xu Tianran's order had not gone through the royal family to inform His Majesty, but there was no time to investigate now.
"Your Highness, I hope your reinforcements will be of some use."
In the far north, the four-nation allied forces have reached the central region of the far north. Wherever they go, nothing grows, and even the snow melts into a dirt road thanks to the guiding soul devices of hundreds of thousands of troops.
The three great empires of Douluo Continent have all captured a large number of soul beasts, keeping them in cages and waiting for them to be distributed after the war and then transported back to their empires.
At the Sun and Moon Empire's command post, Xu Tianran, who had just convened a meeting with the other three major empires to discuss a plan to attack the core area of the far north, had a somewhat solemn expression on his face.
On his marching sands, there was not only a complete map of the far north, but now also the map of the Demon Forest and all the cities on its borders.
He is now fighting on two fronts.
However, he was unable to command two places simultaneously.
No messages can be transmitted from the far north.
Although he was worried, he could only wait for news.
However, his arrangements were already very thorough. Although the troops and forces dispatched by Long Fu were insufficient to resist this beast tide, his backup plan with Ju Zi was enough to help them repel the beast tide. After all, he had spared no effort in providing the foundation of the Sun and Moon Empire for that person, and it was time for them to contribute in this beast tide.
The Holy Spirit Church was the source of his confidence that he could repel or even defeat the beast tide with the remaining forces within the empire, without having to retreat.
His years of experience were enough for him to strategize and win battles from afar.
Moreover, for this beast tide, he issued a firm order to Orange: surround them but do not kill them, annihilate them but do not destroy them.
Although the beast tide unleashed by the Demon Forest chilled his heart, he still chose to forgive them.
The lessons learned from the Star Dou Great Forest in Douluo Continent are right there; he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.
If things turn out like in Douluo Continent, leaving the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire without any Soul Rings to use, then that would truly be a cause for despair.
After soul beasts break through 100,000 years, their intelligence is no less than that of humans, let alone the Evil Eye Clan, which is known for its spiritual power.
This beast tide was premeditated. The Evil Eye Clan knew that the Empire's strength was depleted during its northern expedition and wanted to take the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Empire. He was fully aware of all this.
He dared to trip up Xu Tianran, causing him to waste a great favor. He will settle this score slowly in the future.
He arranged for Ju Zi to go, which was also a kind of training for her.
However, he believed that Orange would carry out his orders to the end; Orange was the person he trusted and relied on the most.
He trusted Orange to handle things.
Xingluo City, Xingluo Grand Square.
On the field, all the participants stood up and chanted the name of Shrek Academy.
"Shrek, Shrek, Shrek..."
"Mu Chenxi, Mu Chenxi, Mu Chenxi..."
After so many days of competition, Mu Chenxi's little gold has long been in the public eye, and she has also earned the title of Golden Dragon Girl.
A golden holy dragon of the 100,000-year level—this dazzling martial spirit is praised by everyone every time it appears!
Just now, Shrek Academy swiftly eliminated the Heavenly Dragon Team, whose members all possessed dragon-type martial souls. Their invincible performance captivated everyone.
They knew that Shrek was still Shrek, the invincible Shrek.
"Shrek Academy wins against Tianlong Team and advances to the semifinals. Both sides, please proceed to the next match. Next, please prepare yourselves, Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and Holy Light Academy teams."
...
In the military group of the Sun Moon Empire, which borders the Douluo Continent to the east, a tense atmosphere prevails.
At fifteen or sixteen years old, Ju Zi wore a full set of orange-yellow soul-guided battle armor, looking incredibly heroic.
Although she was the youngest, her presence was in no way inferior to that of the generals in these group armies.
These border generals of the Sun and Moon Empire did not look down on her because of her age and gender, simply because she possessed the Dragon Seal, which could unconditionally mobilize troops from anywhere in the entire Sun and Moon Empire and was superior to the Tiger Seal.
This little girl is His Highness the Crown Prince's person.
"Generals, please quickly reorganize the army and relieve the Empire from the beast tide crisis."
Ju Zi spoke with a strong and clear voice. Facing these important figures, she was not flustered at all. What she relied on was the Dragon Talisman in her hand and the Shadow Douluo, the nominal leader of Xu Tianran's Shadow Assassin Force, who was behind her.
"The danger of the beast tide to the empire is a disaster for the people and should be resolved. However, once we leave, the empire's lifeline will be left unguarded, the borders will be insecure, and how will we repel the beast tide?" An old general voiced his concerns. Judging from his and the other generals' reactions, they were resistant to Ju Zi's orders.
"Generals, there is no need to worry. His Highness said that the four great empires are now allies. If something happens on the border, the alliance will fall apart. At that time, the coalition forces that are about to penetrate into the core area will disintegrate. Without our help, the three great empires will find it difficult to move an inch in the far north. Therefore, before the northern expeditionary army returns, there will be no conflict between the four great empires. Even if the border is undefended, there will be no danger."
"Miss Orange, even with the Dragon Talisman, His Highness the Crown Prince alone cannot mobilize so many border troops. Moreover, while we need not worry about other empires, the Western Army Group of the Star Luo Empire has not gone on a northern expedition. Who is Dai Hao? Wouldn't he take this opportunity to bite us?"
"Dai Hao?"
Upon hearing the name, Orange's body trembled instantly.
This was the name she longed for day and night, the name that kept her awake at night, the name that made her tremble at the mere mention of it.
Everything she does now is because of him.
Orange's loss of composure was brief, and she quickly concealed it.
Xu Tianran had addressed their concerns, but persuading these experienced border generals was not easy. Taking a deep breath, Ju Zi was about to discuss the matter with the eldest general in charge when, at that moment, the masked figure beside her moved.
Although he did not release his martial spirit or reveal his soul power, there seemed to be an invisible pressure and aura emanating from him, suppressing all the generals present. Everyone was controlled by his every move.
With such a powerful figure by his side, it's no wonder His Highness can rest easy.
The tall, thin figure wearing a mask took out a token from the storage soul tool, held it high above his head, and then looked at everyone indifferently.
"This is the Tiger Tally of the Star Luo Empire. Dai Hao was dismissed by the Star Luo Commander long ago and has no say in the Zhenxi Army. The Western Group Army of the Star Luo Empire is entirely controlled by Zhao Kang, a confidant of the Star Luo Commander. However, the Star Luo Commander is dead, and Zhao Kang has joined Your Highness's forces in order to find a way out. This Tiger Tally is a pledge of allegiance. Therefore, you can rest assured about everything on the border and fully support the Empire's beast tide."
"what?"
The mysterious masked powerhouse uttered a single sentence, leaving the entire audience in awe.
All the generals of the Sun and Moon Empire suddenly stood up and looked at him in disbelief, at the tiger tally and military power in his hand.
After observing the procession, the generals confirmed that this was indeed the unique military command token of the Western Group Army of the Star Luo Empire.
It bears a mark that the Star Luo Empire could not replicate.
"It's actually true!"
The crowd was shocked again, but a moment later, they were overjoyed.
The Star Luo Empire has actually produced such a traitor! His Highness the Crown Prince has such methods.
Everyone felt it was incredible, even unreal.
However, since the commander of the Star Luo Empire's border defense forces had been bought off by the empire, they no longer had any concerns.
What they didn't notice was that Ju Zi, a confidante of the Crown Prince, seemed completely unaware that the powerful person who escorted her would reveal this skill, and the look of confusion in her eyes was obvious.
soon!
People gradually left the camp to deploy troops, and soon only Orange and the mysterious Shadow Killer remained in the large camp.
The storage soul tool at Ju Zi's waist flickered, and soon, several orange orbs of light appeared, enveloping the four corners of the entire tent under the urging of her soul power.
The last elderly general to leave the tent, who hadn't gone far, sensed something, paused, and looked behind him.
"Concealing the soul guide device?"
He shook his head slightly and stopped asking questions, walking straight ahead.
Inside the tent, Orange snatched the Star Tiger Talisman from Shadow Assassin's hand and then coldly said...
"General Xingluo, your killing of Elder Yingsha and kidnapping me are probably not just about helping our Sun Moon Empire repel the beast tide!"
The shadow assassin, who was called Star General, smiled slightly.
"From the time I kidnapped you until now, I have never revealed my identity. How did you find out? Besides, Marshal Xingluo is already dead. How did you become so sure that I am him?"
Upon hearing this, Orange felt a pang of unease. The other party's words were tantamount to an admission.
Although she had been guessing the identity of the man in front of her, she never imagined that he was actually the Star Luo Marshal of the Star Luo Empire, the strongest person on the continent.
Upon learning of the Imperial Beast Tide, His Highness instructed her to carry the Dragon Talisman and complete his arrangements. His Highness attached great importance to this matter and even dispatched a Shadow Assassin Elder, a Title Douluo-level figure, to escort her. However, as soon as the group entered the Sun Moon Empire, they were stopped by a mysterious person, who turned out to be the imposter Shadow Assassin before them.
He didn't release his soul skills or martial soul, but in an instant, he suppressed Shadow Assassin, who was going all out. Shadow Assassin, who was skilled in assassination and speed, couldn't escape even with his Soul Explosion. After being ruthlessly suppressed, he was thrown into a black vortex. Ju Zi guessed that Elder Shadow Assassin was probably in grave danger.
Just when Orange thought it was her turn, the mysterious person didn't harm her. Instead, he took the identity of Shadow Assassin, held her hostage, and made her continue what she hadn't finished.
Who exactly is this person, why is he doing this, and what is his purpose?
Ju Zi was extremely intelligent. She knew that no matter what she did, she could not escape his grasp, after all, she was just a minor Soul King.
One's life or death rests on the whim of this mysterious man.
These past few days, she's been living in constant fear, but just now, she suddenly stopped being afraid.
Some people's identities make people feel at ease just by hearing them.
For example, Xingluo Shuai, the leader of the Necromancer's Holy Law Cult.
"They don't know, but I do. His Highness has never even met this so-called Zhao Kang. But the tiger tally in your hand is genuine. So, you are either Zhao Kang himself or Marshal Xingluo. Based on my understanding of the Xingluo Empire, Zhao Kang is just a newly promoted Title Douluo. He couldn't possibly have such terrifying strength as you. So, you are actually Marshal Xingluo who faked his death to escape."
Huo Yuhao remained silent, as was expected. After a moment of silence, he slowly began to speak.
"You're a smart woman, able to guess my identity from such a few clues. However, you're also a fool. Now that you know, why did you say it? Are you trying to force me to kill you to silence you?"
After saying that, Huo Yuhao exuded a terrifying aura. Although he did not release it, it was enough to make Ju Zi, who had the cultivation of a Soul King, tremble. She forced herself to calm down, then stared intently at him and said, word by word.
"You won't, because you are you, that's why I'm so sure you won't."
That night!
The city of the Holy Monarch was already filled with countless fully armed figures.
Various fixed-mount soul-guided cannons, soul-guided anti-aircraft guns, and soul-guided matrix cannons have been mounted on the city walls. The city walls, which were originally made of soul-guided devices, have been further reinforced with countless defensive soul-guided devices. Tens of thousands of milk bottles have been placed at the rear as charging devices.
The commanders and deputy commanders of the three Soul Guidance Legions, together with the city lords of Holy Monarch City and the powerful figures from the major cities recruited in the past few days, are stationed on the city walls.
This small Holy Monarch City has now gathered more than a dozen powerful level nine soul masters and countless high-level soul masters.
Among them, the commanders of the three great guardian soul-guided legions, Luan Feng, Wang Yiheng, and Liao Jie, all appeared directly above the soul-guided defense barrier.
All three of them had released their martial spirits, unleashing their soul power at full speed to drive the crystal-clear blue sphere of light spinning at the speed of light at the center of the barrier.
Blue ripples spread out, covering the entire army.
"Everyone, release your martial spirits and accept this mental immunity halo. You are about to face the terrifying Evil Eye Clan. Their tentacles are incredibly powerful, but on the battlefield, their greatest threat has never been physical attacks, but mental shocks and mental confusion."
"The Evil Eye, which has existed for 100,000 years, can turn even the simplest impact into a mentally impaired Soul Master below the Soul King level. Only this mental immunity aura can help you resist the terrifying mental impact of the Evil Eye clan."
Wang Yiheng used a sound amplification soul tool, allowing all soul masters in the entire Holy Monarch City to hear it.
In an instant, the entire city began to radiate dazzling light, and countless colorful martial spirits were released, illuminating everything in the darkness.
Everyone witnessed an unforgettable scene amidst these lights.
This is an epic that will soon be written in blood and fire.
"The beast tide is coming."
Someone shouted something, and in the distance, towards the Demon Forest, the moonlight began to be suppressed, dark clouds shrouded the sky, pressing down on the Holy Monarch City.
The earth trembled, and the sky roared!
A terrifying blood mist drifted from the sky, its nauseating stench fueling the soldiers' ferocity.
Just a few dozen miles outside the Holy Monarch City lies the Demon Forest.
However, there were no villages or towns along this stretch of several dozen miles; it was almost entirely deserted.
This phenomenon is not only related to the cruel evil eye in the Demon Forest, but also to the evil soul masters.
In this area of the Sun and Moon Empire, evil soul masters are most rampant. Over time, naturally no one wants to stay here anymore. Even the supply town for soul masters is located in the northernmost part of the Demon Forest.
However, the air still carried a strong smell of blood.
These are the blood of small animals and wild beasts on the road.
The beast tide army of the Demon Forest took some time to assemble, but its deployment was extremely fast.
In a very short time, they rushed out of the Demon Forest, and the beast horde swept through the land, leaving nothing but desolation.
We arrived directly at the foot of the Holy King's City.
The beast tide army was clearly divided into layers. Soul beasts with a lifespan of ten or a hundred years charged to the front as cannon fodder, while closely following behind was a high-level soul beast army commanded by a beast king with a lifespan of one hundred thousand years. These were the elite forces of the beast tide.
The Demon Forest is not like the Starry Sky Forest; it knows nothing about soul tools and doesn't care about them at all.
Soul guidance technology is prevalent on the Sun Moon Continent. Every day, countless soul guides come to the Demon Great Forest to hunt soul beasts using soul guides. Therefore, they are very familiar with the soul guides of the Sun Moon Empire and have long been planning to use them.
Although the beast tide started somewhat inexplicably, the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord believed that in the name of avenging his father, none of his other offspring could refuse.
Although the leaders of the twenty-odd tribes of the Evil Eye were all hypocritical, since they had launched the beast tide, they could not afford to tarnish the reputation of the Evil Eye clan.
They were prepared to press their advantage and march from Holy Monarch City to the heart of the Sun and Moon Empire, and even to Mingdu.
The terrifying beast horde stirred up towering sandstorms, momentarily depriving the city's defense forces of their sight of the ground and the air.
"Everyone, activate all your soul-detecting devices! Don't hold back your firepower! Bombard these beasts to pieces!"
"receive."
On the city wall, which was tens of meters high, countless fixed soul-guided launchers began to spew out tongues of fire. Fire lines were launched instantly, and hundreds of fire lines illuminated the dark night sky, shooting towards the army of soul beasts.
In an instant, all the charging soul beasts at the forefront were blasted into minced meat. After their limbs were devoured by their companions, the remaining soul beasts became even more bloodthirsty. Braving the raging torrent of fire, they charged fearlessly and recklessly toward the city wall.
The moat was quickly filled with the corpses of the soul beasts, and the remaining soul beasts could move freely as if walking on flat ground, crashing into the light barrier in front of the city wall.
To breach the city, one must first break through the soul-guiding barrier of the Holy Monarch City, and then smash the city gate. This requires the accumulation of countless soul beast corpses.
Behind them, the 100,000-year-old Beast King watched these low-level cannon fodder die without the slightest ripple in his heart.
In the Demon Forest, apart from the Evil Eye Clan, all other races are slaves.
These low-level soul beasts, once they die, they simply die; they can regenerate quickly anyway.
However, although they don't care, they are not indifferent.
The intelligence of a 100,000-year-old soul beast is no less than that of a human, let alone the Evil Eye Clan, which is known for its spiritual power.
They know how to use their advantages to expand their advantage in war.
Led by the Evil Eye Lord, the Evil Eye Clan began to unleash a terrifying mental shock toward Holy Monarch City. This vast, ocean-like mental power spread rapidly toward Holy Monarch City, causing a strong buzzing sound to emanate from the city's defensive barrier.
Although the defensive barrier was paramount and some core mental defense arrays were applied, in the rush, it was impossible to cover everything. A large portion of the mental impacts passed through the defensive barrier and entered the Holy Monarch City.
The soldiers defending the city suddenly felt their heads buzzing and their movements became sluggish. However, their mental resistance aura quickly took effect.
The top three Soul Guidance Army commanders have begun to exert their power.
However, even with the blessing of the mental resistance aura, everyone's movements in Holy Monarch City became much slower.
Even with reduced firepower, the spirit beasts' momentum remained unchanged, and soon, spirit masters rushed to the city gate.
Song Que's face immediately turned very ugly.
The enemy's cannon fodder army has already reached the city gate. How do we stop the next few waves?
Humans get tired, and so do soul beasts, but soul beasts that are so excited that they are unafraid of life and death don't experience fatigue.
It's a bit tricky.
"Someone come here!"
"Lord City Lord," his trusted guards clasped their hands in respectful greeting.
Song Que looked at him and said solemnly, "Pass on the order to defend the city gates to the death. Do not allow a single soul beast to cross the city gates."
"yes"
He then looked at another person outside and said in the same tone, "Pass on the order: the anti-aircraft soul-guided cannons must not be used to attack the soul beasts on the ground until the flying units of the beast tide appear, even if they are out of ammunition and food."
"Yes, sir."
Having said that, his gaze was fixed on the location of the Beast King in the distance.
The launch of a beast tide is a matter of life and death, and there is never any mid-battle break. They all underestimated the power of this beast tide. The Demon Forest has probably mobilized 90% of its soul beasts this time. Reinforcements will take three days to arrive. It will be difficult to hold them off for three days.
The Evil Eyes are one of the most brutal and impatient races, and no one knows when they will intervene and escalate the war to a full extent.
The sun and moon seemed to be spinning in the sky, and the soldiers were exhausted after two days of relentless defense of the city.
But at this moment, they had to force themselves to stay alert.
This is because the Soul Beast race is preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the city.
Under Song Que's orders, the city gate was held firmly by countless Soul Masters and Soul Guides who risked their lives to defend it, and there was not a single loss.
but
Everything is meaningless now.
The corpses of the soul beasts filled the moat, and even gradually filled the city walls.
A flesh bridge made of the corpses of soul beasts was laid on the city wall of Holy Monarch City.
Although the cannon fodder army of soul beasts was almost wiped out, it paved the way for the soul beast army behind them to achieve victory.
The millennia-old soul beasts sped across this fleshy bridge towards the city walls of Saint Monarch City, their gaping maws snapping as they lunged at the soul masters guarding the city. At the same time, dark clouds filled the sky, and countless high-ranking flying soul beasts, led by their respective leaders, flapped their wings and charged toward Saint Monarch City.
"Damn it."
These soul beasts have really gone mad.
The attacks of the soul beasts are incredibly fierce. In close combat, it is difficult for soul masters to inflict effective damage on these ferocious and bloodthirsty soul beasts. The flying soul beasts in the air are even more arrogant. Before the city walls have even used anti-aircraft guns, they have already launched various energy projectiles to bombard the city walls.
In an instant, the entire battlefield was thrown into chaos.
All the high-level combat forces within the Holy Monarch City of the Sun Moon Empire have joined the battle. Although countless high-level soul beasts were annihilated in an instant, the powerful ten-thousand-year soul beast lords and hundred-thousand-year soul beast kings soon approached their respective high-level soul masters and held them firmly in place.
The three strongest fighters at the top saw all of this, but they could only worry in their hearts.
The soul cores within the three people's dantian spun rapidly, converging towards the blue sphere, and the ripples emanating from it also became much stronger.
With the Evil Eye Clan officially joining the war, the pressure on Soul Masters on the battlefield suddenly increased.
When faced with the most direct impact of a powerful evil eye, the mental resistance aura is still somewhat insufficient, so they can only increase their energy input to strengthen the mental immunity aura.
However, this also means that they will be trapped here indefinitely.
This is the side effect of the mental immunity sphere, which is close to a level nine and a half soul guide device meticulously crafted by the empire.
After two days and nights of tireless work transmitting soul power into the mental immunity sphere, even with constant replenishment via a baby bottle, their soul power was nearly exhausted. What they were consuming now was not only soul power but also life force.
The purpose was to keep the soldiers below alert and fight the soul beasts to the end.
The beast tide reached a fever pitch in just two days, something no one had anticipated.
Commander-in-Chief Song Que was now fully armed. He drew his sword, slaying a thousand-year-old soul beast with a single strike, and roared in fury.
"If we can't hold the city, then we won't. Open the gates, soldiers, follow me and charge!"
If these bloodthirsty and frenzied soul beasts are allowed to gnaw at the city walls, the core array, and the high-level soul-guided cannons will be completely destroyed.
So they simply lured these soul beasts inside the wall. The most important thing about this city is this military wall. If it is completely destroyed, they won't even have a chance to fight back.
Upon hearing this, all the warriors in Holy Monarch City paled.
Only a portion of the soldiers were defending the city. All the civilians in Holy Monarch City had been safely evacuated. The 200,000 troops from the border were all gathered here, along with elite warriors from the three major Soul Guidance Legions. They were all waiting for the decisive battle to begin.
Apart from the soldiers of the Soul Guidance Corps, the rest of the army was very uneasy. Among them, only a few were Soul Masters, and the rest were ordinary people. In the past, on the battlefield, in conflicts with other empires, it was always Soul Masters against Soul Masters, and ordinary people against ordinary people.
But now their opponents are terrifying soul beasts whose strength is no less than that of a Great Soul Master or even a Soul Venerable, and some of them are even ten thousand or one hundred thousand years old. How could they not be afraid?
But they were soldiers, and even knowing that death was inevitable, they continued on their path without fear.
With the city gates wide open, the beast tide instantly split up, and tens of thousands of high-level soul beasts surged into Holy Monarch City from the city gates, and close combat was about to break out.
People die all the time, their blood staining the earth.
Even with sturdy armor, ordinary human warriors find it difficult to even harm soul beasts. A single charge from a high-level soul beast can cause hundreds of deaths and injuries.
The soul masters of the three major soul guide legions, in squads of ten, were divided into dozens of squads. They were responsible for reaping the rewards in battle. While ordinary soldiers were using their lives to hold off high-level soul beasts, they used powerful soul tools to kill these soul beasts.
With the city gates wide open, the charging soul beasts naturally rushed towards the massive gate opening. This diversion relieved the pressure on the city walls, allowing the soul warriors to recover and begin rapidly repairing the damaged firing devices. Then, they aimed at the soul beasts inside and outside the city and began a second round of volley fire.
Outside the city of Saint Monarch, each level nine Soul Master restrains a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast King, or a dozen or so level seven or eight Soul Masters restrain a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast King.
With the mental immunity aura of the three Soul Guidance Army commanders, they were able to barely stop the advance of these 100,000-year-old Beast Kings, but that was all.
They were unable to inflict any real damage on these 100,000-year-old evil eyes; defeat was only a matter of time.
The battle continues! But the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord has lost patience with these annoying mental immunity halos.
Originally, with the Evil Eye Clan's powerful mental attack, this border city could have been captured in just a few days against such a large-scale beast tide. However, these damned mental immunity halos have rendered the Evil Eye Clan's proud mental power immune. Although only a portion of their power is immune, their combat strength is still largely composed of mental power.
Its dozen or so eyes were fixed on the three figures in the air.
It has already decided to kill.
It wasn't originally going to do it itself, but humans have thoroughly angered it.
A vast, ocean-like spiritual force poured forth, along with the aura of a beast king with over two hundred thousand years of history, shaking the entire arena.
With the support of spiritual power, its enormous body slowly rose into the air and rapidly headed towards Luanfeng Wang Yiheng and Liao Jie.
The enormous tentacles, tens of meters long, whipped up gusts of wind in the air; their power was terrifying and visible to the naked eye.
"Buzz—"
Contrary to expectations, the Evil Eye Tyrant's tentacles struck a transparent soul-guided light barrier, which, judging by its level, was at least a level nine soul-guided shield.
Having failed in its first attack, the Evil Eye Tyrant roared and launched another attack. This time, it used five tentacles, and to maximize the force of the attack, it moved its body forward a bit more.
A strange light flashed in Luanfeng's eyes, but she also seemed somewhat disappointed.
In an instant, the tentacles arrived and struck the soul-guiding light screen. However, under the whip of the five tentacles, cracks quickly appeared on the light screen.
The Evil Eye Tyrant realized that it was still too far away, resulting in insufficient power. However, it believed that the next attack would be able to shatter it and kill the three beings inside that it loathed.
Manipulating its mental power, it moved forward again, and this time it was very close to Luanfeng and the other two.
Just as it was about to take down the three of them in one fell swoop and destroy the mental immunity aura, an unexpected event suddenly occurred.
Six enormous soul-guided light curtains appeared around it, sealing it off. At the same time, a light curtain appeared on the bodies of all the soul guide legions in the city, and they quickly connected together, forming a super-large soul guide cannon track with the three soul guide legion commanders in the sky as the hub.
It was none other than a super-large soul-guided matrix cannon.
To catch the thief, first catch the king; this is their only way out. Since they can't deal with the beast tide, they'll deal with the instigator of the tide.
The Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord thus fell into their trap step by step.
Even a ferocious beast over 200,000 years old couldn't easily escape the soul-guiding binding array used by thousands of soul masters. And this deadly guiding array cannon, with its enormous size, was even more unavoidable.
Everyone watched this attack with anticipation. If it succeeded, even if it didn't solve the beast tide, the soul beast army would at least be thrown into chaos, which would greatly alleviate the pressure below.
However, just as the terrifying Soul Guidance Matrix Cannon was about to hit the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, an unexpected change occurred.
A terrifying bone dragon appeared, blocking the Evil Eye Tyrant's path, spewing icy breath to counter the Soul Guiding Array Cannon.
However, the Bone Dragon King alone could not withstand the combined attack of so many Soul Masters.
A dark figure stood on the forehead of the Ancient Dragon King. At the same time, behind him, several figures hovered in the air, releasing their martial spirits to help the Bone Dragon King counterattack.
Their true forms of martial spirits are all extremely twisted and evil beings. When they unleash their soul skills, there are always gusts of cold wind and ghostly cries!
Meanwhile, on the battlefield below, countless dark figures appeared. They were confirmed to be human, but they were helping the soul beasts and fueling the beast tide.
The powerful figures of the Sun Moon Empire all wore extremely ugly expressions upon seeing this. The commanders of the three Soul Guidance Legions in the sky were practically grinding their back teeth, their faces filled with extreme hatred and anger.
"Evil Soul Masters, you bastards!"
.
The Holy Spirit Church intervened in this beast tide.
Their headquarters are in the Demon Forest. How could they remain indifferent to such a powerful beast tide?
The Holy Spirit Church suffered heavy losses during the last beast tide, so this time, he wants to get it back with interest.
In the battle of the Star Dou Great Forest, he was so badly cheated that he didn't even have his underwear left. The high-level combat power of the Holy Spirit Sect also suffered heavy casualties. Even his Uncle Long died on the Douluo Continent while covering his retreat.
However, this misfortune turned into a blessing in disguise, as it was through this that he learned of the existence of his three ancestors, and later even took over his mother's duties to serve them.
Because he was good at getting along with people, he gained the appreciation of several elders.
Overjoyed, the patriarch not only agreed to protect him but also used unpredictable means to help him rebuild his forces, relieving his predicament of having no one to rely on.
Although these people barely reached the title of Douluo by burning their lifespan, it is still a title.
When the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord was taken control, they no longer hid.
Compared to soul beasts, evil soul masters prefer human blood, corpses, and souls. Repelling the beast tide does them no good whatsoever.
"A fine compliment. This is a reward for you to become nourishment for the rise of my Holy Church." Zhong Liwu said with disdain, "Just a bunch of dying people."
"Kill them."
Upon hearing Zhongliwu's order, countless evil soul masters who had surged into the beast tide battlefield began to exert their power, unleashing their strongest soul skills to help the soul beasts invade the Holy Monarch City.
If a beast tide is a terrifying disaster, then a beast tide led by humans is a disaster within a disaster.
Under the guidance of the evil soul master, the soul beasts' attack efficiency became extremely high.
Only screams and wails remained in the city.
These soul beasts, knowing that these evil soul masters were their helpers, wisely refrained from attacking them.
The evil spirit masters also took the opportunity to collect corpses and souls.
With the addition of the evil spirit masters, this beast tide truly turned into a purgatory.
Despair began to spread, and the soldiers defending the city gradually lost their will to survive.
There was absolutely no room for resistance.
In the sky,
The tyrannical overlord with the evil eye broke free from his restraints and laughed wickedly to the sky.
"Hahaha, Little Crow, you really know how to handle things. Today, all the souls here belong to you."
The Zhongli lineage has served the Evil Eye Tyrant clan for generations, so the Evil Eye Tyrant naturally knows Zhongli Wu. It didn't expect Zhongli Wu to come to its aid, but since it has come, it's time for this damned Holy Monarch City to disappear.
Its evil eyes opened one after another, emitting purple light. Its vast spiritual sea, as boundless as the ocean, was released and pressed down on Luanfeng and the other two. It was vengeful and vengeful, and these three dared to offend it, which meant they were already on their deathbed.
Although Zhongli Wu disliked the title "Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord," he didn't make a fuss about it.
He had already broken through the Limit Douluo realm, and the Evil Eye Tyrant's mere two hundred thousand years of cultivation was still no match for him. However, the Evil Eye clan was united, and their Holy Spirit Sect's foundation was in the Demon Great Forest, so he didn't want to stoop to the level of this fool.
Now, killing is the only way. The souls of so many powerful Soul Masters can greatly enhance the strength of their Holy Spirit Sect.
It could even restore its former glory.
With the protection of three ancestors who had surpassed the limits of Douluo, Zhongliwu was no longer afraid of anything.
Controlling the Bone Dragon King to unleash icy dragon breath and destroy the attack soul-guided artillery emplacements on the walls of Holy Monarch City, the powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult behind him, along with their allies, charged towards the three major soul-guided legions within the city, reaping lives and souls.
In the sky, the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, fueled by intense rage, spun its massive body and hurtled towards the three of them.
The defensive soul tools shattered with each impact, instantly triggering their invincible shields. At the same time, while the three of them were distracted by controlling their mental immunity aura, they also released their respective soul-guided battle armor to provide protection for themselves.
After doing all this, the invincible shield was also smashed open, and the evil eye tyrant's ferocious and twisted laughter was deafening, while its tentacle attacks were even more sharp and fierce.
"Damn it, you two hold on, I'll take care of it."
Wang Yiheng let go, and facing the tentacles that were about to hit the three of them, flames spewed from the flying soul tool behind him, and in a flash, he was at the forefront.
The Evil Eye Tyrant's tentacles were only a finger's width away from his body.
The next moment, a bull that was tens of meters tall appeared. The standing bull had a domineering air about it and was wearing energy clothing. After its two hooves gripped the tentacles of the Evil Eye Tyrant, it spiraled into the sky and flung it hundreds of meters away.
Wang Yiheng's title is Mad Bull Douluo, and his martial spirit is naturally also a mad bull.
Known for its strength, although it is relatively weak in other aspects, it can overcome all methods with its strength. As long as it has a specialty, it is enough to defeat the world with one move.
The sudden turn of events startled the Evil Eye Tyrant, but a cold smile quickly appeared on its face.
The mental immunity orb, which requires three people to maintain, is now missing one person. Will it still function as before?
Moreover, in terms of strength?
Others believe that the Evil Eyes are best at mental power, but that's just an outsider's opinion. Humans are killed by the Evil Eyes' mental attacks before they even get close to them, and they don't even have the chance to experience their power. In fact, their unique tentacle structure makes their strength incredibly terrifying.
Its soul power converged into all its tentacles, and the forty-nine tentacles began to dance wildly, swaying in the water like seaweed.
Countless rhythmic waves of air emanated from the sky.
Moreover, the power propelled the speed, and soon, the massive body of the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord reached the top of Wang Yiheng's head.
Tentacles, like waves, entangled Wang Yiheng's mad bull form from all directions.
"Gauze"
A cold voice rang out, and Wang Yiheng's Martial Soul True Body, which was forcibly activated, shattered instantly. He was thrown away by the shockwave from the explosion, his face turned pale, and he vomited blood continuously.
"Hmph, you mere ants dare to obstruct the great master like yourself."
Having said that, it took advantage of the situation and extended its still terrifyingly powerful tentacles toward the remaining two people. In order to protect themselves, Luanfeng and Liao Jie had no choice but to release the sphere of mental immunity.
"Snap—"
The sound of breaking glass rang out.
Under the terrifying power of the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord's attack, the level 9.5 mental immunity soul tool was shattered into fragments.
"No—" came the desperate cry of Luanfeng from the sky.
What the Evil Eye Tyrant destroyed was not just a level 9.5 soul tool, but the very lifeline of everyone on the battlefield.
Without any spiritual immunity aura, the terrifying spiritual impact of the Evil Eye was something these low-level Soul Masters and Soul Guides warriors simply could not withstand.
Below, the already retreating and exhausted warriors of the Sun and Moon Empire, some of whom had low cultivation levels, suddenly froze, and were then devoured by soul beasts or killed by evil soul masters.
There are countless examples like this, and more and more Soul Masters are being killed for no apparent reason.
At this point, the soldiers realized that the mental immunity aura had disappeared.
This means that the terrifying mental impact of the Evil Eye Clan is also irresistible.
"This beast tide is doomed to be lost."
On the battlefield, Song Que wore a mental defense soul guide device on his head. With the help of his guards, he killed a ten-thousand-year-old evil eye. He looked into the distance, his eyes brimming with tears.
"The Empire's reinforcements will arrive in three days, but I, a piece of trash, command hundreds of thousands of troops and can't even hold them off for two days. It's laughable, Song Que, you are the Empire's eternal sinner."
The arrangement of the sky was disrupted. Luanfeng Liao Jie and Wang Yiheng had no more scruples. They released their martial spirits and burned their own essence blood, preparing to fight the Evil Eye Tyrant.
A mad glint flashed in Song Que's eyes.
The Bone Dragon King is wreaking havoc; he can't just stand by and watch.
Even if it means being shattered to pieces, I will bite off one of the Bone Dragon King's wings.
Song Que's martial soul is the Fire-Tipped Spear, an extremely powerful weapon martial soul with both metal and fire attributes. When combined, it can produce metal fire, a flame that is second only to the ultimate fire.
The Bone Dragon King is of the Yin-cold attribute. When the nine rings are stacked and explode, they should be able to generate enough golden fire to burn it.
Let's do it! Now's the time to risk our lives. Who the hell cares about our lifeblood?
"Give me the door."
With a roar, the first to ninth soul rings behind him lit up one after another, the soul core in his dantian circulated rapidly to its limit, and the Fire-Tipped Spear in his hand ignited with extremely hot golden flames.
With his Level 8 flying soul tool fully activated and combined with his own Title Douluo speed, Song Que caught up with the Bone Dragon King, which was spewing icy dragon flames in the air. The terrifying high temperature instantly burned away the layer of ice on its body, deeply piercing into the Bone Dragon King's wings.
The golden flames continued to spread, and the Bone Dragon King's wing was burned to ashes. Losing a wing, the Bone Dragon King immediately lost its balance and began to frantically thrash and fall to one side.
Zhongliwu, standing on the Bone Dragon King's forehead, lightly leaped and hovered in the air. He pointed his three-meter-long staff at Song Que, chanted a spell, and several pitch-black attacks were instantly unleashed, striking Song Que.
But Song Que remained unfazed.
He didn't care at all how much damage these attacks would cause.
He was determined to fight the Bone Dragon King to the death.
When Zhong Liwu's dark skill hit him, he did not dodge. Driven by his last bit of soul power, the Fire-Tipped Spear in his hand burned with brilliant golden flames and rushed towards the falling body of the Bone Dragon King. The collision of ice and fire produced a huge mist. In the midst of the vaporization, the Fire-Tipped Spear had completely penetrated into the Bone Dragon King's bony chest.
The next instant, a tremendous roar came from the hole pierced by the fire-tipped spear.
The Bone Dragon King's entire chest was reduced to fragments.
He collapsed weakly to the ground.
After Song Que was hit by Zhong Liwu's attack, his invincible shield only lasted for a few seconds before being destroyed. At the same time, the dark elemental attacks bombarded him without reservation.
The skin was torn open!
The next moment, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
His face was deathly pale, more terrifying than a sheet of white paper.
The backlash from the explosion of the Fire Tip has arrived.
However, Zhongliwu on the other side wasn't doing too well either.
Bone Dragon King was his strongest beast puppet, and now that it was damaged, he also suffered a slight backlash.
"You insignificant ant, how dare you harm my Bone Dragon King?"
Zhongliwu was furious, and an extremely terrifying aura erupted from his body.
Although he had just advanced to the level of a Limit Douluo, even the worst Limit Douluo could easily crush a Title Douluo, let alone Song Que, who was weakened after his power surge.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Song Que, who had instantly run to the outside of the city, and grabbed him by the throat with one hand.
"Go to hell, you ants!"
"Cough cough."
Song Que, who had been captured, struggled painfully, spitting out blood continuously. In the midst of his struggle, his hands seemed to be gripping Zhong Liwu's left hand tightly.
Just as Zhong Liwu was about to crush him to death, his Gejin Soul Core in his dantian rapidly expanded and then contracted.
Zhong Liwu's pupils widened instantly as he felt the terrifying power. He began to struggle frantically, but he could not break free. Seeing that the soul core was about to explode, he made up his mind and a purple-gold katana appeared in his hand. He swung it backhand and slashed at Song Que's arm.
"Clang—"
With a loud bang, Song Que's hand was not severed; instead, a wrist guard with astonishing defensive capabilities was revealed.
Judging from its materials, it is at least a top-tier level nine defensive soul guide.
"You mad dog!"
You can't cut it off, you can't break free from it.
Zhong Liwu was in despair. He seemed to have made up his mind. He gripped the katana tightly in his hand and then cleanly and neatly severed his arm, quickly escaping the blast radius.
"Boom—"
The instant he left, a terrifying explosion rang out, sending shockwaves of blood surging through the city.
Countless soul beasts were blasted into fragments by this terrifying soul core explosion, and the formation of the beast tide was disrupted.
"Song Que."
"Lord Song"
Song Que's heroic sacrifice ignited the fighting spirit of the survivors.
Detonating the soul core is no easy task. It is a hundred times more cruel and painful than the most brutal torture, slow slicing. It involves disintegrating the entire body while the person is still conscious, which is extremely cruel. This is the most ruthless move one can make against oneself.
Song Que, several men.
Someone had set a precedent, and several others in the sky also began to make some unusual moves. Since they were going to wait for reinforcements anyway, they might as well die a spectacular death and blow up these beasts.
"Trying to self-destruct? Don't even think about it, I'll kill you all first."
The spiritual rings behind the Evil Eye Tyrant spun wildly, and his spiritual sea emitted a monstrous green light.
The spiritual power emanating from it is becoming increasingly terrifying.
"Behold my divine light of annihilation."
This is the Evil Emperor's most prized and strongest move. It's not surprising that his son knows how to use it.
Although the Evil Eye Tyrant's attack was aimed at Luanfeng and his two companions, everyone on the battlefield was affected by this mental storm.
This terrifying mental power was so great that even those with cultivation levels below the Soul King level couldn't withstand its aftershocks.
A sudden silence fell over the battlefield. Soul masters froze, and soul beasts paused for a fleeting second.
Then it opened its blood-red maw and bit at the stunned human.
"No"
The three people in the sky looked desperate. They couldn't stop the divine light of death, and the weak soul masters on the ground couldn't even withstand the aftershocks.
"Is it all over?"
Is this our fate? We can't even manage to self-destruct?
All three resignedly closed their eyes; everyone was waiting for death to arrive.
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
Suddenly, countless buzzing sounds came from the battlefield, and countless defensive golden lights flashed, protecting all the surviving Soul Masters, Soul Guides, and warriors inside and outside Holy Monarch City. The attacks of Soul Beasts and Evil Soul Masters could not harm them in the slightest.
At the same time, the three beings in the sky also had three continuous defensive mental and physical attack shields on their bodies, directly exempting them from the strongest level one death divine light of the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord.
"Is this the most powerful and difficult-to-achieve shared invincible golden body and invincible shield among all the Soul Guidance Links?"
"This is the strongest soul guidance divine skill that only those who have surpassed the ninth and a half level soul instructor can barely use."
"Is it Master Kong?"
"No, it seems that an incredibly powerful Soul Master has arrived."
The despair on the three people's faces began to fade as they looked into the distance at the figure walking on air, seemingly merging all the soul tools on the battlefield into one, a figure comparable to the god of soul tools.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and a feeling of hope welled up in their hearts.
"Reinforcements have arrived."
