Interception

Although the Heaven Dou Empire also has some large bandit groups, their intelligence network is also very advanced. How could someone dare to attack such a group?

Moreover, judging from the falling rocks on the mountain, this was clearly premeditated and not unintentional.

Because the falling rocks seemed to have been planned in advance, the Royal Knights gradually began to be unable to withstand them, and some particularly large rocks were already crashing into the ranks.

It is at times like these that the Soul Master's strength is revealed.

The elites from the various advanced Soul Master Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire were not flustered at all. They released their Martial Soul to protect the Support System Spirit Master inside, while the Assault System and Defense System stood guard outside.

Any stones that flew by were immediately shattered by the Soul Master. Even with such a dense and well-prepared barrage of falling rocks, it did not affect the speed at which the team advanced and retreated.

Just as they were about to cross the road between the two hills, the Royal Knights behind them began their retreat to cover the rear.

Just then, a loud whistle rang out from somewhere, and then thousands of men in black suddenly appeared on the hills on both sides. These men in black moved in an orderly manner and rushed down at an astonishing speed.

At this time, the Royal Knights were still in the process of retreating, and the Soul Master of the fifteen academies could only rely on their own strength to protect themselves.

A dazzling array of lights began to appear on the Soul Master, their Martial Soul were released, and their Soul Ring shone brightly; they were ready for battle.

Although there was virtually no cooperation between the various colleges, each college formed a small group, and the appearance of the enemy only fueled their fighting spirit.

Instead of retreating, they advanced, and without needing any organization, they quickly charged towards the enemy.

However, to the surprise of these young Soul Master, just when they thought they could easily defeat their opponents, they were dealt a heavy blow.

After all, in their eyes, these people were basically just ordinary people. Although they had the advantage in numbers, the Soul Master were obviously more powerful in terms of absolute strength.

The total number of teachers and students from the fifteen colleges was over two hundred, while the number of "bandits" who came down from the mountain was approximately 1,500.

The moment the two sides made contact, these bandits displayed an astonishing ability to coordinate. They typically attacked one Soul Master in groups of three or four, using simple and powerful methods that caught the Soul Master completely off guard.

After all, the combat experience of these academy's Soul Master students is based on battles with a small number of people, and this is the first time they have fought a large-scale battle like this.

The dazzling Spirit Abilities began to appear, but the men in black were extremely cunning. With their considerable speed and teamwork, ordinary first and second-level Soul Skill were hardly effective against them.

Moreover, there were actually Soul Master among these men in black, with at least fifty Soul Grandmaster of level 50 or above leading the team.

Once a powerful Soul Skill appears, they immediately step in, with an average of two Soul Master dealing with each academy. In this way, the "bandits'" wolf pack tactics play a significant role, and the situation becomes completely deadlocked.

The appearance of so many Soul Grandmaster among the "bandits" further confirmed the teachers' suspicions that this was an organized attack.

After all, fifty Soul Master above level 50, plus several Soul Saints and Soul Douluo leading the team, is a formidable force that not every faction can possess.

How many Soul Masters are there in this world? The total number is no more than 100,000. And the number of Soul Master above level 50 is even less than 30,000.

Thirty thousand sounds like a lot, but if distributed across the entire continent, it's a pitifully small number.

It's almost unimaginable that a group of bandits could launch such an organized attack and possess so many high-level Soul Master.

Fifteen hundred people besieged fifteen academies, with each academy receiving approximately one hundred enemies, and each academy was led by at least two Soul Grandmaster Spirit King or even Soul Emperor.

The Soul Saint and Soul Douluo powerhouses surveyed the entire scene, going wherever Soul Saint- level Soul Master appeared, demonstrating exceptional organization.

As soon as the battle began, everyone noticed a problem: the men in black were clearly much more skilled than ordinary people.

At this moment, the Shrek Academy members had already exited the carriage. Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others protected the Little Monster in the middle without making any move.

Oscar raised an eyebrow as he looked at the group of men in black, because he already knew the origins of these so-called "bandits".

Oscar had previously been speculating whether the Spirit Hall would take action, but now it seems his speculation was unnecessary.

But what was the reason for the Spirit Hall's intervention this time? Tang San did not reveal his Twin Martial Souls, and although Dai Mubai, the Spirit King, was powerful, he was not enough to threaten the Spirit Hall.

So what was the reason for the Spirit Hall's intervention this time? Oscar suddenly remembered that Salas had observed him many times before. Could it be... that these people came for him? In order to win over Ao Yue, they wanted to eliminate him first? But if they did this, weren't they afraid of the Sword Sect's retaliation? With the power that the Sword Sect has shown now, it has already surpassed any of the Upper Three Sects. No matter how crazy Bibi Dong, she would never do such a foolish thing at this point in time!

Seeing that a group of men in black were approaching them, Oscar, along with Dugu Yan and Ma Hongjun, chose not to make a move in order not to attract the attention of the Titled Douluo who was still secretly watching. After all, if they made a move, they would be exposed.

The other party might be here to ambush geniuses. If they see Oscar, Dugu Yan, and Ma Hongjun, these three Spirit King geniuses, and get interested, things will get complicated.

So, to avoid getting into trouble, Oscar, Dugu Yan, and Ma Hongjun simply decided not to take action.

After all, Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Tai Long, and Dai Mubai had no problem dealing with the sneak attacks from these little Karami.

Besides, Shrek Academy has two Soul Douluo and Soul Saint, Flender and Liu Erlong, in charge, so it's not their turn to make a move.

However, just as Oscar was pondering why the Spirit Hall had made its move this time, he suddenly realized that Shrek Academy seemed to be facing an excessive number of men in black.

At this moment, a Soul Saint and Soul Douluo appeared in the sky above them, holding Flender and Liu Erlong back tightly.

However, Tang San, being Control System Spirit Master, was quick to act. He instantly took out a black box from his Soul Tool. Apart from Oscar and Dugu Yan, everyone else from the Shrek Academy also had one.

This is Hidden Weapon made by Tang San himself, called the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. Because of this Hidden Weapon, Ning Rongrong has already started to contact Tang San to buy it.

However, because of Oscar in this life, time has been much slower. If things had progressed according to the original story, Tang San would have already received the deposit from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by now.

"Upgrade!" A low, deep voice rang out. After using the Blue Silver King to slow down the opponent's movements, Tang San did not rush to attack, but instead commanded his teammates to counterattack.

The small, dark box appeared in the hands of the Shrek Academy students, who, with perfect coordination, aimed it in different directions and quickly wound up the mechanism.

Once the mechanism was loaded, Tang San shouted, "Release!"

Amidst the clanging of metal, several Godly Zhuge Crossbow unleashed their deathly aura, each carrying sixteen bolts, totaling over a hundred, which wove together to form a vast net filled with the scent of death.

Screams filled the air as the black-clad "bandits" displayed widespread lethality against the formidable piercing power of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

After all, not many of these men in black are Soul Master. The Godly Zhuge Crossbow is a powerful weapon that can deal with Soul Master, but against ordinary people, it would be a devastating blow.

Tang San sneered, "Everyone, don't move, prepare your defenses."

After saying that, he darted out.

At this moment, all the other academies were under siege, and no one would notice him. Tang San's arms moved in an illusory rhythm, and countless crystalline lights were scattered from his fingertips. In that instant, it seemed as if he had eight arms.

At this moment, he was like Thousand-Hand Asura born specifically for Hidden Weapon, constantly bringing the aura of death to his enemies.

Once an opponent is identified as an enemy, no mercy will be shown.

This is a rule in the Tang Sect's general principles, how could Tang San forget it? Regardless of who these masked people are, they clearly did not come with good intentions.

Tang San's Hidden Weapon are mostly various flying needles, because flying needles are small in size, making them harder for opponents to defend against, and they are also easier to carry.

From the most ordinary fine iron needles to Bone-Piercing Needle, Armor-Piercing Needle, and Overlord Needle, all kinds of flying needles of different sizes, but all with amazing power, were constantly thrown out from his hands.

A purple-gold light emanated from his eyes, and everything around him was under the control of his six senses. Almost every time he made a move, someone would immediately fall down.

The countless Hidden Weapons that Tang San had prepared during the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night were being rapidly depleted.

Apart from Oscar, almost everyone else at the Shrek Academy was seeing Tang San unleash his full power for the first time. Even though they were extremely familiar with Tang San, all they could see at that moment was a constant stream of shimmering light emanating from Tang San body.

Enemies within 30 meters of Tang San fell like leeks being cut down; once they fell, no one could get up again.

In just a short while, not only were the low-level bandits from the Shrek Academy wiped out, but even some black-clad bandits in the surrounding area were affected.

Tang San's Hidden Weapon are truly terrifying; they are ubiquitous and silent, and by the time the opponent reacts, they have often already been pierced by the poisoned needles.

At this moment, Tang San was the most dazzling guy in the entire room. Oscar couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He was originally worried that he would be exposed if he took action, but now... with Tang San, who was good at attracting attention, it would be unreasonable for the people of the Spirit Hall not to target him.

Tang San, who was using Hidden Weapon, became exceptionally confident. At this moment, the Spirit Abilities of the Blue Silver Grass had become completely auxiliary to him, and the black-clad bandits were unable to get close at all.

He didn't even need to use his Fourth Spirit Ability, because the strongest among this group was basically a Soul Elder, and the Soul Saint and Soul Douluo were all restrained by Flender and his group.

Just as Tang San was about to unleash his full power, Tang San figures suddenly pounced on him at the same time. As soon as these three appeared, Tang San immediately felt that the smooth and effortless feeling he had just experienced had vanished.

Although none of the three people released their Martial Soul as they pounced on Tang San, they still put considerable pressure on him.

Just as they approached Tang San within ten meters, the three men in black released their Martial Soul and Soul Ring, confirming Tang San's guess with the number of Soul Ring they possessed.

Two Yellow Two Purple, and four black; two yellow, three purple, and two black; three yellow, two purple, and two black – these are the Spirit Ring Configuration of these three men in black.

One Soul Douluo and two Soul Saints! Upon suddenly seeing the appearance of three powerful figures, Flender and Liu Erlong were also startled.

Their opponents were already Soul Douluo and Soul Saint, and now another Soul Douluo and Soul Saint have appeared to deal with the Shrek Academy? Could it be that the target of this group of men in black was Shrek Academy from the very beginning? Seeing this, Flender and Liu Erlong no longer held back and each used their Martial Soul Avatar. After all, even if Oscar and Dugu Yan were in the team, they might not be able to deal with a lineup of one Soul Douluo and two Soul Saints.

Three dark figures rapidly approached, and the expressions of the Shrek Academy students all turned serious.

Two Soul Douluo and three Soul Saints. They knew all too well how terrifying such a combination was.

Noticing this, even Oscar's expression froze for a moment. This result confirmed that the Spirit Hall was after the Shrek Academy.

Could it really be to assassinate me? Considering that I used my clone Ao Yue to flirt with Hu Liena, it doesn't seem impossible. After all, that fox is a complete love-struck fool!

But Bibi Dong shouldn't be so foolish, right? If she really tried to assassinate him here, the Sword Sect would definitely not let them get away with it.

Seeing the three powerful figures suddenly Dai Mubai, who among them could back down at this point?

It's impossible to expect help from others. Other Soul Master Academy are trapped, and the Royal Knights who came to their aid are blocked by a group of black-clad bandits. At least for the time being, no one will be able to help them.

Moreover, these colleges around them are all competitors, and even if they have the time, they may not necessarily help them.

Soul Douluo above level 80 are nearing the pinnacle of the Spirit Master World. Are they really capable of fighting against such opponents? But so what if they can't? Besides, they might still have the ability to retaliate. Oscar, Dugu Yan, and Ma Hongjun are all Spirit King, and none of them have made a move yet.

Unexpectedly, after the Soul Douluo and the two Soul Saint rushed forward, their gazes fell directly on Tang San. The light in their eyes suddenly turned sinister, and they let out a long howl, soaring into the air and rushing straight towards Tang San.

In their eyes, it seemed that there was only Tang San.

Golden light burst forth from the masked black-clad Soul Douluo. As his arms vibrated in the air, they transformed into a pair of golden wings. An even larger golden shadow appeared behind him, and his clothes were replaced by golden feathers, revealing the true form of his Martial Soul.

His Martial Soul is a golden eagle.

As his wings took shape, his arms detached from them, transforming into two sharp eagle claws. At the same time, his body began to shrink and change rapidly, becoming increasingly solid with the Golden Eagle illusion behind him.

The other two Soul Saint also released their Martial Soul, and the three of them attacked Tang San at the same time. The Shrek Academy members' expressions changed. Although the powerful pressure in the air was not enough to break them, the attack from a Soul Douluo and two Soul Saint was undoubtedly a dimensional reduction attack.

Run? How easy is it to run from a Soul Master of this level? Moreover, at this distance, even with Oscar's Swift as Wind Rain Swallow Sausage Intestines, it would be absolutely impossible.

At this moment, Tang San's expression was somewhat wistful, because this group of people were clearly targeting him.

Is it because of talent? But his performance in the competition was not as good as Dai Mubai's. Why did these people not even look at Dai Mubai and just stare at him?

Tang San didn't know, but he didn't intend to sit idly by and wait for his death.

At this point, Oscar could no longer sit still. With such a lineup advancing, and with Flender and Liu Erlong tied down, even he might not be able to guarantee their safety, let alone Tang San.

P. S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
