The Tables Turned

Wei Lin's eyes were bloodshot, as if he were seeing an enemy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn Soul Beast!"

But his eyes couldn't compare to Ah Rou's, who gracefully emerged from the shadows. Under the Yue Guang, her gentle demeanor instantly dispelled the stagnant murderous aura in the air.

She even possesses a beauty reminiscent of a fairy under the moon.

Several children, including Wei Lin, were momentarily stunned.

'No!' Hu Liena was the first to react. She bit her tongue, using the pain to force herself to wake up.

At the same time, he hurriedly warned everyone, "Be careful! It's Mental Secret Art!"

As Soul Master with Mental Attributes, Hu Liena was very sensitive to this type of secret technique and immediately realized that the other party was using a "Charm" type skill.

Reminded by her, Wei Lin suddenly came to his senses. Without saying a word, he immediately manifested his Martial Soul [Gale Blade], and with a backhand swing, a gust of wind swept the children away.

"Run!"

Zhang Ping was very self-aware; without saying a word, she turned and ran the moment she landed.

With her current strength, she doesn't even have the right to stay and watch, let alone participate in the battle. The best help she can give Wei Lin is to run away as quickly as possible and not cause any trouble.

Yan reacted a little slower, but when he saw Zhang Ping run past him, he quickly followed. However, when he passed Xie Yue, he found him still standing there, as if he was stunned.

He thought to himself, "You usually act so tough, why are you so scared right now?" He looked down on him for a moment.

But since they were classmates, Yan couldn't just stand by and watch; she reached out her hand, wanting to help him up.

As a result, he stumbled and fell. He looked over in astonishment and saw that Xie Yue was staring intently at the Soul Beast, as if it were his mortal enemy.

What are you doing, you little rascal?

Xie Yue didn't respond, but forcefully pulled back the hand that Yan was holding. Her feet finally moved, but instead of running away, she walked forward.

At the same time, Moon Blade materialized in his hand, and it seemed he wanted to clash with the enemy!

"Are you crazy?" Yan cursed, reaching out to grab him again, but as her hand drew nearer, it touched a blade instead.

Xie Yue finally turned around, his murderous eyes fixed on Yan, causing the latter to tremble slightly.

"Get out of the way!" he hissed.

Yan unconsciously let go of his hand, staring blankly as he walked towards the battlefield to his death.

That's right, it's suicide.

He had just seen clearly that the Soul Beast had come alone, and Zhou You was not in her hands.

Based on rational deduction, Yan believes that Zhou You is most likely... which is why he wanted to drag Xie Yue away.

Even a big shot like their boss died at this guy's hands. What can these nobodys do besides run away?

But Xie Yue clearly didn't think so.

He had already shown weakness once, and he would never allow himself to be weak a second time. So what if he was Titled Douluo?

What Zhou You can do, he can do too!

Hu Liena was the one who knew Xie Yue's thoughts best at this moment. She sighed and withdrew her steps, which she had originally intended to take to escape.

Xie Yue was her only family, and she couldn't just stand by and watch him go to his death.

"Elder brother."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yue subconsciously turned to look at Hu Liena, who immediately activated her Martial Soul Possession, casting "Charm".

Xie Yue was immediately struck by a full-power "Charm," his gaze instantly becoming unfocused, and his body losing control of his own mind, causing his Moon Blade to shatter into scattered points of light.

Hu Liena planned to take him away from the battlefield.

She knew Xie Yue would blame her afterward, but she had already lost everything and couldn't afford to lose her only brother as well.

In the short time they were delayed, Wei Lin had already engaged the enemy in battle.

He immediately unleashed his strongest Soul Skill— [Gale's Sorrow]

A burst of extremely fast airflow suddenly formed, shooting out from the tip of the Gale Blade towards the outer stars, and in the blink of an eye, it spread into a large whirlwind with a diameter of more than five meters.

The airflow carried by the wind wall was almost tangible and as sharp as a knife, cutting through all obstacles in its path and arriving in front of Ah Rou in just a few seconds.

The pressure difference created by the whirlwind was trying to push her body into it, subjecting her to excruciating torture.

Wei Lin, who had exerted all his strength, was not at ease and remained focused on his target.

After all, the enemy before him had already reached the title level. He didn't think his move could harm the opponent, but it should be enough to buy time for the little ones behind him.

However, to his surprise, Ah Rou had no intention of directly confronting his move.

In a flash, as if a frame had been cut from a movie, she broke away from the path Wei Lin had planned and appeared in front of him.

Although she was injured and not suitable for long-distance Teleportation, the cost of short-distance Teleportation was bearable as long as she did not bring anyone with her.

As Soft Bone Rabbit, Ah Rou follows Agility Attack System, so her combat style does not favor head-on confrontation, but rather flanking maneuvers.

Even when facing Soul Master whose cultivation level was far lower than her own, she remained extremely cautious and dodged Wei Lin's Soul Skill with a flash.

So Wei Lin could only watch helplessly as she approached him. Without a second thought, he immediately raised his Gale Blade and slashed at the enemy's forehead.

However, even when injured, Ah Rou still possessed undisputed titled strength, and her overall qualities far surpassed those of Soul Saint. In her eyes, Wei Lin's blade moved as slowly as a tortoise.

Just as she was about to bypass Wei Lin and head straight for her target, she suddenly stopped.

Zhou You's instructions echoed in her mind. Although she didn't understand them, Ah Rou chose to obey.

She raised her hand, striking first from behind, and delivered a palm strike from the side, hitting the center of gravity of the Gale Blade, causing it to shatter on the spot!

Wei Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura immediately weakened.

Because Soul Saint awakens their [Martial Soul Avatar], their Tool Martial Soul becomes more closely integrated with their Soul Master.

Therefore, when the Gale Blade shattered, Wei Lin himself suffered a backlash and immediately lost his ability to fight.

If Wei Lin's cultivation level were any lower, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

For a weapon Soul Master who has not awakened their [Martial Soul Avatar], the shattering of their Martial Soul does not have a significant impact on their physical body; it's just a broken shell, at most consuming a large amount of Soul Power.

However, for Soul Masters at the Soul Saint or above, damage to their Tool Martial Soul is tantamount to damage to their physical body.

With just one strike, Wei Lin was unable to rise again.

However, this might be a good thing for him. If he had been unharmed, Bibi Dong would definitely have held him accountable afterward, and might even have taken her anger out on him.

But now that he was seriously injured while protecting the students, even Bibi Dong couldn't be too harsh on him anymore. Instead, she had to appreciate his hard work.

After all, it's normal for Soul Saint to be unable to defeat Titled Douluo.

On the contrary, Bibi Dong and her group were lured away from their mountain stronghold and even launched a surprise attack by the enemy. This is a bigger fault than Wei Lin's failure to protect Zhou You.

If Ah Rou had wanted to, she could have easily wiped out the Golden Generation.

Zhou You, hidden in the shadows, watched Wei Lin lying on the ground, unable to fight any longer, and could only silently apologize.

Give Lao Wei a hard time; once this period is over, you might achieve the "progress" you desire.

The rest was a foregone conclusion; Ah Rou quickly and easily captured Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan.

Xie Yue's determination was utterly meaningless in the face of such an absolute disparity in strength.

Zhang Ping ran too fast, Ah Rou didn't have time to catch her.

Just as she was about to continue her pursuit, Bibi Dong and her two companions suddenly returned, much faster than expected. She had no choice but to abandon her original plan and confront Bibi Dong once again.

At this moment, the three people she held in her hands were enough to Bibi Dong hesitate to act rashly.

This time, it was the Spirit Hall's turn to be on the defensive.
