The Holy Spirit Cult Elders Were Formidable; Tang San Nearly Died

His killing blow was blocked. Tang San was both shocked and furious.

He was shocked that this sudden shadow could easily block an attack from the Seagod Trident with its own body.

He was furious that he had failed to kill Yue Guan.

He was so angry he nearly went mad.

After all, Tang San had gone to great lengths to finally defeat Yue Guan.

He had even imagined the wonderful future that awaited him after killing Yue Guan, picturing all the praise he would receive.

But just as he was about to strike and claim the fruits of his victory, something had gone wrong.

His attack had missed and been easily blocked.

And now, he might not be able to kill Yue Guan.

Tang San simply couldn't accept that.

After all, he had spent so long imagining it, only to fail to kill Yue Guan. He had thought about it for nothing.

That left Tang San feeling worse than if he'd swallowed a lump of shit.

Looking back at what he'd done, he'd been stupider than a pig.

"You dare interfere in my affairs?"

"Die!"

Tang San attacked in a fit of rage, completely beside himself.

He struck at Yue Guan and Xiao Wu again, unleashing a devastating attack. The Seagod Trident in his hand thrust toward them with astonishing force.

By then, Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body had worn off.

Without it, her other abilities were no match for Tang San's attack.

Yue Guan was in the same situation. He had no strength left to fight back, and Xiao Wu and Yue Guan were plunged into danger.

"Run!"

Fortunately, the two Holy Spirit Cult elders, who had been waiting in the shadows for the right moment, stepped in just in time.

Evil Soul Masters excelled at striking at the mind.

They understood the weaknesses of the human heart better than anyone.

Tang San, for instance, had been calm and clearheaded earlier.

At that point, he had been without a single weakness.

Even if the two elders had suddenly launched a sneak attack, they might not have gained much.

But now things were different.

Xiao Wu had provoked Tang San, and he was consumed with rage.

Humans were at their least rational when angry, and Tang San had never been more vulnerable.

So the two Holy Spirit Cult elders finally made their move.

They attacked at the same time from either side. A massive ghost appeared behind the Second Elder on the left. The instant his Soul Rings flashed, Tang San was immobilized. Then he summoned countless ghosts, who came clawing and snarling at Tang San.

The First Elder on the right held a staff. He struck it against the ground, and the entire space around Tang San—including Tang San himself—began to warp.

Tang San's mind grew hazy, and he fell straight into an illusion. In it, he was tied beneath a great tree, surrounded by countless vengeful spirits and ghosts that gnawed at his flesh. Tang San screamed in agony.

Leaving aside the power of the Seagod Trident, Tang San was no match for these two Holy Spirit Cult elders.

Evil Soul Masters were inherently stronger than ordinary Soul Masters, and the two elders had higher Soul Power cultivation than Tang San.

So, if the Seagod Trident's power were not a factor, the two Holy Spirit Cult elders could have killed Tang San instantly.

But Tang San still had the Seagod Trident.

Although the two Holy Spirit Cult elders had caught him off guard and nearly killed him, the Seagod Trident had saved his life in time.

At that moment, the Seagod Trident blazed with a dazzling light: Sea God's Light.

Bathed in its radiance, Tang San broke free of the illusion.

The terrifying vision had left him drenched in sweat.

But as soon as he came to his senses, he saw the countless ghosts rushing toward him from every direction.

"Damn it."

"What kind of underhanded trick is this?"

Tang San was taken aback.

He didn't dare lower his guard for an instant. He unleashed the full power of the Seagod Trident and wiped out every last ghost.

By the time he was done, Tang San's face had gone pale.

He looked at the two elders before him, wariness filling his eyes.

He knew that if the Seagod Trident hadn't helped him just now, he might already be a cold corpse.

"Who are you?"

"Why did you stop me?"

"What are you after?"

Tang San fired off three questions at the two Holy Spirit Cult elders.

He had far too many questions.

The techniques those two Holy Spirit Cult elders had used were unmistakably those of Evil Soul Masters.

But Bibi Dong couldn't possibly be working with Evil Soul Masters.

So where had these two come from, and what were they after? Would they interfere with his plans in the future?

Tang San was desperate to know.

More importantly, after their brief clash, Tang San had clearly seen how dangerous these two Evil Soul Masters were.

So now that he was facing them again, he was on high alert.

"We didn't manage to kill him..."

"What a pity."

"We had such a good opportunity, and still couldn't kill him."

"The Seagod Trident really is powerful."

On the other side, however, the two Holy Spirit Cult elders didn't answer Tang San's questions.

After their sure-kill combination failed, they couldn't help sighing in regret.

"Just as I thought. We'll have to leave this kid to the Cult Master."

"A mere Sea God? Once the Cult Master makes a move, he'll crush him without the slightest effort."

"We're still too weak."

The two Holy Spirit Cult elders spoke among themselves.

Only then did they remember to answer Tang San's questions.

"Oh? Curious about who we are?"

"Fine, we can tell you."

"We're the Holy Spirit Cult, an organization of Evil Soul Masters."

"You're out of luck."

"You offended our Cult Master, and now the Cult Master wants you dead."

The two Holy Spirit Cult elders chuckled coldly.

"You're finished."

"Though you've received the Seagod Inheritance, that kind of deity is nothing in the Cult Master's eyes."

"Get ready and wait patiently for your death."

"Once our Cult Master emerges from seclusion, you'll be finished."

"Then you'll learn what true despair is."

The two Holy Spirit Cult elders coldly taunted Tang San.

Then they decided not to stay there any longer.

The Second Elder on the left gave a cold laugh and summoned a massive ghost.

The ghost swallowed them, and they quickly disappeared, leaving Tang San and the others behind, their faces full of apprehension.
