Battle Kuang Zhan!

Since this was an original plot, I still suggested everyone not think too hard about it.

The dark underground prison kept shaking. Gu You barely managed to steady himself, while everyone else around him had suffered a few bumps and bruises.

"Damn it! The Federation army has broken in."

"Broken in, my ass. It's just a few Purple Grade Mechas, nothing impressive. Stay here and keep watch. I'll go provide support first."

Gu You had sharp ears. He heard the conversation thirty meters away with perfect clarity.

Looks like something big happened outside.

This was the perfect time to escape, and Gu You naturally understood that.

Riiip!

Under everyone's stunned gazes, Gu You actually tore a huge gap in the cage with his bare hands.

"There's electricity, too." Gu You shook out his hands, then looked at most of the people behind him and tilted his head to signal them to run.

"We're saved! We're saved!!" Just as Gu You expected, everyone rushed out in a flood, leaving behind only the insane woman and Qianyu, who cowered in the corner in fear.

Let them scout the way first, Gu You thought.

"They escaped, they escaped!!" The Evil Soul Master outside cried out in panic.

"Haha! Freedom!!"

"Ah!"

"Monster... monster! Don't eat me."

"I haven't tasted this much fresh flesh and blood in a long time. I wasn't even planning to eat you, but since you came out to die on your own, I won't be polite."

Sure enough, Gu You had guessed right. Escaping would not be so easy. However, the person outside probably wasn't that strong. Most of them had likely gone to fight those mechas, right?

Before leaving, Gu You looked at Qianyu in the corner. "I'll be a good person for once." He set down some food.

"It was you! Haha!! So you were the one who gave my daughter the lollipop. You must have more, right?" The madwoman grabbed Gu You's arm, her voice shrill.

"What's that noise inside? Oh~ Looks like there's still some food left. I can't let it go to waste." Kuang Zhan looked delightedly toward the hollow, dark enclosed space.

Damn it!

"Fuck, you crazy bitch! You're going to get me killed." Gu You was truly furious. Purple Scales began covering his left hand, and in a burst of rage, he pierced straight through the madwoman's chest. Blood splashed across Gu You's face, still slightly warm.

The body fell. Faint sobbing came from nearby. Gu You blankly turned his head toward Qianyu. His dragon claw was excited. Even though it was Gu You's first time killing someone, he felt no panic at all—only a strangely subtle sensation.

"No!" Gu You uncontrollably swung his claw at Qianyu.

Bang!!

Gu You was sent flying in an instant. Kuang Zhan flexed his fist, glanced at the dragon claw in Gu You's hand, then at the woman's corpse and the girl, Qianyu. He seemed to understand something. "Haha! So this is what Federation people are like—killing each other? How interesting. Don't be afraid, little girl! Once I avenge you, I'll come back and eat you!!"

Gu You struggled to his feet as his peak strength erupted. A Purple Dragon Shadow appeared behind him. For some reason, the dragon shadow seemed far more real than before.

Purple Gold Annihilation Kill!

A dragon's roar rang out as Gu You charged at Kuang Zhan. The Dark Gold Dreadclaw activated as well, blasting out five golden beams.

Kuang Zhan roared. He actually sensed danger from this attack. Seven soul rings rose beneath his feet, and his body expanded by two or three meters. The veins all over his body stood out clearly, while the terrifying visage of a Bloodthirsty Bear emerged behind him.

A Soul Sage!

Gu You was rendered speechless. His second soul ring lit up. He could only hope his Spiritual Power was higher than Kuang Zhan's.

Purple Dread's Imposing Gaze

He mixed Purple Emperor's Roar into it as well. This was Gu You's strongest spiritual attack.

Kuang Zhan froze. He saw his mother—that... that person who had loved him most.

Yet after only three seconds, he woke up. But by then, Gu You had already closed in. The terrifying force made the entire space tremble faintly. This was Gu You's true full-power punch. With the support of his dragon claw and Soul Power, combined with the Dark Gold Dreadclaw, this punch carried at least five or six thousand jin of force.

Boom!

A cloud of smoke rose.

How was that possible?

Gu You was sent flying once again, slamming hard into the wall. He spat out a huge mouthful of blood.

As the smoke dispersed, battle armor light flickered across Kuang Zhan's body. This was his One-Word Battle Armor:

Kuang!

Gu You took out a Level Seven Milk Bottle and drank a mouthful of thick medicinal juice. At the same time, he switched forms and continuously replenished his Soul Power.

He was completely outmatched. He had to find an opportunity to escape. Evil Soul Masters were already stronger than ordinary Soul Masters, and this one was a Soul Sage with One-Word Battle Armor. His strength was already close to that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.

"You really surprised me. You actually forced me to use my battle armor by accident, but there won't be a second time." Kuang Zhan revealed one of his rare serious expressions. A dignified dark Soul Master like him had been forced to bring out his battle armor by a two-ring Soul Grandmaster. If word got out, wouldn't people laugh themselves to death?

"Heavy..."

Kuang Zhan wanted to use a Soul Skill, but his eyes instantly turned vacant again. It only lasted a few short seconds, but when he came to, Gu You had already vanished.

"Ah! You infuriate me! If I don't eat you, you little brat, today, then my surname isn't Kuang!" Kuang Zhan roared again.

Without bothering to eat Qianyu, he charged straight into the distance.

"Damn it!" Zetao clenched his fists. The other mechs had already been destroyed, leaving only the Soul Masters still fighting. But they were all merely Soul Kings, unable to hold out for long. As the only one left, how much longer could he keep fighting?

Against the Evil Soul Masters, Zetao had prepared many measures beforehand, such as equipping the mechs with Light Element Weapons to deal damage more easily. But that little damage was utterly insignificant before absolute strength.

"Ah!"

A Soul King comrade had his head crushed by a Soul Emperor Evil Soul Master, and his soul gradually merged into the enormous entity in the sky.

It resembled a gigantic eye, constantly writhing, with two pairs of massive arms on either side. Black mist coiled around it, radiating an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Draw Blade!" Zetao's mech pulled a sword from its back. An aura of light spilled outward. It was a sixth-grade Soul Guide Weapon—his only remaining asset. If he still could not win, only death awaited him.

The mech sprinted forward with fluid movements, charging toward the enormous monster in the sky. He absolutely could not allow his comrades' souls to fuse with that hideous thing. Zetao's piloting skills were superb. Soul Power throughout his body surged into the Light Element Weapon, and a dazzling radiance illuminated the heavens.

Light Slash!

"That aura is disgusting!" an Evil Soul Master said in disgust.

"It's completely useless. Your defeat has already been decided."

The light shot into the sky, instantly engulfing the giant-eyed monster. When it faded, all that remained was the mech falling downward, with faint smoke rising from it.
