Soul Power Suppression Field and Anesthetic Agent

Late at night, the Small Town was silent.

But before long, the arrival of a group of uninvited guests shattered the silence.

After agreeing on the price, Ma Xiu became much more agreeable. Together with his two subordinates, he followed the three sleazy wretches to the center of the Small Town.

Once they arrived, Ma Xiu first stopped Bu Le, who was impatient to charge into the inn for revenge. Under the puzzled gazes of the three sleazy wretches, Ma Xiu turned and gave his two subordinates a look.

The two Chief Officers from the Black Beast Mercenary Group nodded at the same time. One of them, a tall Chief Officer, took two metal spheres from his robes and infused them with Soul Power to activate them.

The two metal spheres instantly flew into the air, splitting into four pieces midair. Under that Chief Officer's control, they swiftly flew toward the four corners around the inn.

As the four metal hemispheres landed, an invisible field instantly enveloped the area around the inn.

At the same time, the other, somewhat shorter Soul Master did not remain idle either. He pulled out a green capsule from his robes, activated it with Soul Power, and threw it directly into the inn.

"Don't rush to make a move, everyone. Let me give the people of Shrek Academy a little surprise first." As he spoke, Ma Xiu took a medicine bottle from his robes and handed it to Tian Ya beside him, explaining, "These are little gadgets developed by our Black Beast Mercenary Group. They can weaken the enemy first. The bottle contains antidote pills. One pill per person will do."

Tian Ya immediately understood. He quickly took out a pill from the bottle, swallowed it, and then handed the bottle to Bu Le beside him.

The Black Beast Mercenary Group was known as the number one Mercenary Group on Douluo Dalu, so naturally it had its own unique strengths. At the very least, it possessed many underhanded methods specifically designed to deal with enemies.

The Black Beast Mercenary Group's Twelfth Brigade was even a specialized technology development brigade. Its members might not have been particularly strong in direct combat, but their research abilities were each more impressive than the last.

The little gadgets used earlier by the two Black Beast Mercenary Group Chief Officers had been developed by the Twelfth Brigade.

The field created after those two spheres split apart was called the Soul Power Suppression Field. Once activated, it could suppress the flow of an enemy's Soul Power.

However, this field required manual control. The higher the controller's Soul Power level, the stronger the Soul Power Suppression Field's ability to suppress the enemy's Soul Power.

As for the green capsule thrown by the other Chief Officer, it contained a rapidly dispersing anesthetic agent. It would not harm the human body, merely produce an anesthetic effect.

Of course, if the enemy was too powerful, the anesthetic agent's effects would naturally be greatly reduced.

Combined, the effects of these two little gadgets were probably not enough to deal with Zhao Wuji.

They could certainly weaken Zhao Wuji, but making a level seventy-six Soul Sage lose his ability to resist was not very realistic.

However, against those ordinary Shrek Academy students with Soul Power around level thirty, they would be more than enough.

According to Ma Xiu's calculations, within a minute, Shrek Academy's students would lose their ability to resist and be left at their mercy.

At that point, all he needed to do was take down Zhao Wuji, and this mission would end perfectly.

Yet things developed somewhat beyond Ma Xiu's expectations.

Just as they made their move, Li Ang, whose awareness had been constantly watching the people of Shrek Academy, suddenly shuddered. He caught a very familiar scent.

Instinctively, Li Ang used his spiritual power to investigate the situation outside. Soon afterward, he understood the entire sequence of events.

"Damn it, what the hell is this? This never happened in the original plot!" Li Ang was utterly speechless when he discovered that the people making a move were actually his own subordinates.

However, he had no intention of stopping his subordinates from causing trouble.

After all, Li Ang had infiltrated Shrek Academy precisely to stir things up. Although this turn of events had caught him somewhat off guard,

it was not a bad thing for him.

Thus, Li Ang merely awakened his two disciples in the guise of an old master and removed their negative conditions.

Even so, even without Li Ang doing anything, the Black Beast Mercenary Group's anesthetic agent failed to have any effect.

Who knew how Tang San had made an antidote? In any case, he took out a bottle from his robes and fed a mouthful to each of the Shrek Seven Devils. After that, everyone from Shrek Academy was freed from their paralysis.

As for Zhao Wuji, after realizing that someone was plotting against them in secret, he immediately let out a roar. After using his Soul Spirit Avatar, his burly figure shot into the sky and leaped out of the inn. "What sneaky rat dares to ambush your grandpa?!"

Zhao Wuji truly deserved to be a Soul Sage-level powerhouse. With no reservations at this moment, he looked like a humanoid bear. Beneath his feet, seven Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—pulsed continuously, recklessly releasing the Aura of a Soul Sage.

Under Zhao Wuji's oppressive presence, the tall Black Beast Mercenary Group Chief Officer was the first to be affected. As the controller of the Soul Power Suppression Field, he bore the brunt of the clash with Zhao Wuji, and his face immediately went pale.

However, with the help of the Soul Power Suppression Field, he possessed some ability to contend with a Soul Sage. Controlling the field, he did everything he could to suppress the Soul Power within Zhao Wuji's body.

But Ma Xiu, the leader of the group, remained unhurried. At the same time Zhao Wuji used his Soul Spirit Avatar, he also unleashed his own martial soul.

As an enormous Horse Chopping Blade appeared in his hand, seven Soul Rings—three yellow, one purple, and three black—slowly rose from beneath his feet as well.

With blade in hand, Ma Xiu glanced at the two Chief Officers beside him and said, "Bai He, take our clients inside and finish the mission. Hei Shan, keep the Soul Power Suppression Field under control. I'll deal with Zhao Wuji!"

Ma Xiu then looked at Zhao Wuji, a fanatical smile spreading across his face. "Zhao Wuji, if I remember correctly, your head is worth four hundred and fifty thousand gold soul coins, isn't it?"

Although Zhao Wuji was poor, his life was indeed valuable. After all, he had offended far too many people. There were several fairly large factions among them, and beyond those, there were countless small and medium-sized factions that had conflicts with him.

In the Soul Master world, there were simply too many people hoping Zhao Wuji would die. Naturally, the bounty on his head had kept rising, accumulating to four hundred and fifty thousand gold soul coins by now.
