Battle Soul Saint
The outpost was located beneath the snow, connected to the outside world only by a skylight.
The Qiangu Changkong cast Darklight Powder onto the feet of one of the men, and as he moved, Wu Qi had already discerned the movements of this hidden sentry.
Therefore, Iron Bull Soul Douluo can act without excessive worry.
In the Xue Ye, Iron Bull Soul Douluo led his men and quietly approached the outpost.
The outpost is typically staffed with ten people, meaning that five people are on patrol at the same time, while the other five rest at the outpost.
These people must be patrolling in this area; they wouldn't go far, since they're not Patrol Team.
At Iron Bull Soul Douluo's command, everyone attacked simultaneously.
Tie Niu personally led the team and captured the five people in the outpost, including the Soul King powerhouse.
As Soul Douluo and a strength-type Soul Master, Tie Niu possessed immense strength, easily snapping his neck.
The remaining four were left to the trainees to handle. The trainees were quite courageous and swiftly carried out the assassinations without any hesitation.
On the other side, under the leadership of Golden Gong Soul Sage, they quickly captured four patrolling sentries.
They quickly realized that one person was missing.
Iron Bull Soul Douluo immediately realized that the situation was dire.
The one person who slipped through the cracks would soon discover that the outpost had been attacked. If that person were to raise the alarm, it would inevitably signal the failure of the entire operation.
Before he could arrange for someone to chase after them, the students guarding the perimeter brought a thin man, bound hand and foot, to him.
"Senior Tie Niu, we don't know why this guy emerged from the snow. We don't know his background, so we thought we'd tie him up and hand him over to you."
This is the one who slipped through the guard post; he left the group to relieve himself during the operation.
Upon returning, realizing something was wrong, they decided to flee towards the Mine Mountain to seek help.
Tie Niu had arranged for the remaining trainees to guard the perimeter beforehand, but unexpectedly, he caught this escapee by sheer chance.
Faced with Tie Niu's questioning, the man defiantly declared, "Release me, or my New Mountain Sect will not let you off the hook!"
Tie Niu was amused by his words and said, "Who do you think we are?"
"When we arrived, we knew there were ten sentries at this hideout. How could we not have thoroughly investigated everything here?"
"Further words are useless; the time for the New Mountain Sect's demise has come."
As he spoke, Tie Niu gripped the man's neck with his large hand, applied a little force, and with a crisp sound, the man's body twitched slightly before he stopped breathing.
Many trainees who had never witnessed murder before experienced vomiting and other discomfort.
Iron Bull Soul Douluo continued, "Killing one person throws you into disarray? You're a bunch of useless trash. How can trash like you ever become the Spirit Hall rules a region?"
This was indeed a great teaching opportunity!
After being reprimanded by Tie Niu, the trainees quickly regained their spirits and continued on their way.
Having learned his lesson, Tie Niu became much more cautious in his subsequent deployments.
The second hidden sentry post was quickly and decisively eliminated.
Seeing that everything was progressing smoothly and the team had already advanced to the foot of the mountain, Wu Qi immediately released the signal that he had agreed upon with Qiangu Changkong.
Now is the perfect time for a coordinated attack from within and without!
Suddenly, a cry of an eagle echoed through the mountains and forests.
This was a sound conjured by Wu Qi's Martial Soul; the sound wasn't loud, but it was extremely penetrating.
Qiangu Changkong, who was resting with his eyes closed inside the Mine Mountain, suddenly opened them upon hearing the agreed-upon signal.
He casually picked up a small pebble from beside him and threw it at Zhu Wusi, who looked over.
Following his gestures, Zhu Wusi quietly left the group to wake up the others.
Qiangu Changkong Kong feigned sleepiness and walked to the side of the Mine Overseer team.
The Mine Overseer instinctively showed wariness towards the person approaching, but immediately relaxed upon seeing the newcomer.
"You brat, get out of here!"
Qiangu Changkong Kong appeared humble and submissive, but the Coiling Dragon Staff Spirit suddenly appeared in his right hand behind his back.
Immediately afterwards, five Soul Ring, one yellow, one purple, and one black, shone beneath his feet.
Fifth Soul Skill: Blazing Dragon Might!
The Coiling Dragon Staff swung in his hand in Round Dance Staff, followed by the roar of a Heavenly Awakening Sacred Golden Dragon bathed in flames.
The action was so fast that the Mine Overseer had no time to react.
Furthermore, these people are not very strong; most of them are at the Soul Ancestor level.
Faced with a sneak attack from a Soul King, they had no chance to react and their heads were smashed in no time.
The sudden noise startled the sleeping miners.
The Mine Overseer, whom they dared not even glance at on ordinary days, was now a cold corpse.
The people who did all this are precisely the new "miners" who arrived today!
Qiangu Changkong shouted repeatedly, "Everyone, get out of the Mine Mountain immediately!"
Zhu Wusi responded immediately and arranged for all workers to evacuate in an orderly manner.
He didn't tell anyone else about the news that explosives had been planted in the Mine Mountain.
However, there is often a herd mentality in crowds. As Zhu Wusi took the lead in leaving, others, unaware of the situation, followed suit.
Zhu Wusi did indeed have some leadership skills; under his prior arrangements, the temporary leaders among the miners did not make any mistakes.
The Qiangu Changkong was not idle; there was only one team of Mine Overseer inside the Mine Mountain, but there were many others outside.
He led the way at the front of the group to make sure no one got stuck in the middle.
On the other side, Wu Qi encountered a powerful figure from the New Mountain Sect.
Unexpectedly, the first thing the enemy discovered was not the attacking force from below, nor the turmoil in the Mine Mountain, but him.
Wu Qi smiled calmly and said, "Soul Saint, huh? Perfect for some practice."
He might find it difficult to deal with Peak Soul Saint, but he is not without a chance against a mere ordinary Soul Saint.
This Soul Saint possessed a flying Martial Soul, and sensing that the eagle's cry was unusual, he went out to investigate.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Wu Qi, who was conducting aerial reconnaissance.
Right now, the commotion below and on the Mine Mountain is so great that it's hard to miss.
Wu Qi didn't want the other party to leave, so he took the initiative to entangle with him.
White Eagle Soul Sage's expression was grave. After the exchange, he asked, "Who are you, and why did you attack my New Mountain Sect's stronghold?"
Wu Qi sneered, "Since you admit that the New Mountain Sect stole imperial assets here, then things will be much easier."
"Come with me to court to testify, and I'll spare your life."
White Eagle Soul Sage sneered, "It seems you've come to cause trouble for my sect. A High-Rank Soul Emperor so young, you must be a genius among geniuses. Unfortunately, you shouldn't have meddled in other people's business."
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"
The White Eagle Spirit let out a sharp, long cry, and then its body grew to a gigantic size.
Wu Qi gave a dry laugh.
Almost every Soul Saint he encountered would activate their Martial Soul Avatar immediately, which was truly a headache.
However, this White Eagle Soul Sage does not possess any Spirit Immunity!
