Pfft--
The sound of a hand piercing through a human body was incredibly clear in the silent night, and the gushing blood bloomed like an eerie flower in the sky.
The black-robed elder staggered back two steps, while the one pierced through the chest by the Heavenly Centipede Douluo was the man who had been slapped by the Blood Sea Douluo earlier.
"Tianwu! Nangong Wan! What exactly do you want?"
The old man in black robes was both shocked and furious.
Tianwu Douluo Nangong Wan, ranked second among the eight elders of the Holy Spirit Sect, possesses a soul power of level ninety-three.
At the same time, as a pure Evil Soul Master, even though his Soul Power Level was slightly lower than those of the worshippers, Nangong Wan's actual combat strength was by no means inferior.
Nangong Wan had just unleashed his full power in that attack. It was only because the black-robed elder had been on guard beforehand that he was seriously injured, if not killed.
The others were also stunned by this sudden scene, but after regaining their senses, they all moved away from Nangong Wan and retreated behind Blood Sea Douluo.
Under the moonlight, Nangong Wan raised her head, and her lifeless eyes startled everyone.
Blood Sea Douluo carefully examined the Nangong Wan, then said with a grim expression:
"His mind has been manipulated."
"What? Doesn't that mean we've been exposed?" The old man in black robes looked solemnly in the direction of Star Luo City.
"If that's the case, why should we stay here? Why don't we just leave?"
Someone else spoke up, but what they said still gave Blood Sea Douluo a headache.
"Fool! Do you think everyone here wants to escape? The problem is we can't leave. If you're so capable, try leaving yourself."
Blood Sea Douluo felt the veins on her forehead bulging. As the only female Super Douluo among the twelve Holy Spirit Cult's elders, she had no personal ties and lived a carefree life. Moreover, she had the Holy Spirit Cult's generous salary to enjoy for free. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a representative of successful women.
However, in pursuit of the possibility of breaking through to a higher realm, she accepted an important mission suddenly assigned by the Holy Cult Sect, which was to infiltrate Star Luo City and bring Ma Xiaotao.
But now things are really messed up; the matchmaking system has paired her with a bunch of terrible teammates, and the situation in this game is clearly turning against her.
Blood Sea Douluo even suspected that he might die here today.
As expected, the moment Blood Sea Douluo finished speaking, more than a dozen streams of light suddenly attacked from all directions, and then surrounded Blood Sea Douluo and his group.
Upon seeing the two elderly men standing at the forefront of the crowd, Blood Sea Douluo's expression changed drastically, and he then spoke:
"Are you the Taotie Douluo of the Shrek Academy?"
Xuanzi snorted coldly, looking at Blood Sea Douluo and his group as if they were dead objects.
"You inherently evil Evil Soul Master have actually infiltrated the capital and kidnapped my Shrek students. I think you've already met your doom!"
Hand over Xiaotao, or I will make you wish you were dead!
Xuanzi's resounding words drew everyone's attention, and even Qiangu Yunche couldn't help but marvel.
As expected of a pure-blooded Shrek descendant, his remarks are as amusing as ever.
Blood Sea Douluo glanced at Ma Xiaotao, who had fallen into a coma due to the mental toxins attached to the Datura flower, and then at the dozen or so people who had gathered around. Although not all of them were familiar faces, she did recognize some of the veteran powerhouses of the Star Luo Empire, such as Star-Shattering Douluo and Heavenly Calamity Douluo.
What made Blood Sea Douluo even more troublesome was Qiangu Qing, who stood beside Xuanzi.
Xuanzi's cultivation as a Level 98 Super Douluo was already difficult enough to deal with, but when Xuanzi stood next to Qiangu Qing, he seemed to be born a head shorter. That feeling existed not only in perception but also in intuition.
The fact that he could directly suppress Xuanzi at a higher level makes the result quite clear: this is a living, breathing Limit Douluo.
Blood Sea Douluo was utterly bewildered, filled with astonishment and confusion, while secretly pondering a way to escape.
At the same time, Tianwu Douluo Nangong Wan, who had been standing still, suddenly began to tremble violently.
His dull eyes seemed to regain a moment of clarity, but that moment of clarity caused countless fine cracks to appear in his brain, making him look particularly eerie.
"Help... help me..."
After leaving his final words, Nangong Wan's brain, along with his entire body, exploded like a Fixed Soul Guidance Cannonball.
The explosion of a Titled Douluo- level expert's Soul Power along with his Spiritual Power was undeniably powerful. Fortunately, this place was already dozens of miles Star Luo City, and there were few people around except for the mountains and forests.
After a series of earth-shaking tremors, Blood Sea Douluo seemed to have seized an opportunity. He whispered something and then led a group of more than ten people westward.
The two guards stationed on the western side of the encirclement were Star-Shattering Douluo and Heavenly Calamity Douluo. Blood Sea Douluo knew their strength well and knew that they couldn't possibly stop them from breaking through.
But the next second, a golden staff descended from the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar. Before the black-robed elder could even react, he was struck squarely on the head by the staff.
Under the force of this powerful blow, the black-robed elder was not killed instantly, but he was bleeding from his ears and nose, clearly suffering serious internal injuries.
In the void, a figure holding Coiling Dragon Staff slowly appeared; it was none other than Qian Gu Qiangu Chengjun, the second grandfather of Qiangu Yunche Yun Che.
"Leave? Where to go? Since we're here, let us rest in peace."
As he spoke, Qiangu Chengjun once again swung the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand, and together with Star-Shattering Douluo and Heavenly Calamity Douluo, they blasted the black-robed old man to death in one blow.
Seeing this, the others dared not take another step forward. Their group only had three Titled Douluo, with Blood Sea Douluo being the strongest, Heavenly Centipede Douluo the second strongest, and the black-robed elder being the weakest.
With only level 91 Soul Power, ranking last among the twelve elders of the Holy Spirit Cult, and not being a pure Evil Soul Master, he was utterly powerless against Qiangu Chengjun and the other two.
Seeing that her path to survival was completely cut off and Xuanzi and the others were closing in little by little, Blood Sea Douluo's expression grew increasingly grim. For a moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up slightly.
In the next instant, nine Soul Ring— one yellow, one purple, and one black—rose from beneath her. She directly activated her Eighth Soul Ring, and countless bright red datura flowers bloomed in the void, their strange fragrance and pale pink pollen swirling in the air, enveloping the entire world in a pink hue.
"Even facing certain death, you still refuse to surrender. I, this old man, will..."
Xuanzi was about to make a move, but in the next instant, his hand mysteriously stopped in mid-air.
In mid-air, the datura flowers, after growing wildly to a certain extent, did not cause any actual harm to Qiangu Yunche and his group. Instead, they launched a frenzied attack on the Holy Spirit Cult experts surrounding Blood Sea Douluo.
"Holy crap, Fifth Elder, you've mistaken the enemy!"
"It hurts! It hurts so much!"
The roars and screams echoed through the sky. When the dust settled, a dozen corpses crashed to the ground. Blood Sea Douluo, carrying Ma Xiaotao in a princess carry, flew towards the direction of Qiangu Qing, his gaze sincere:
"Seniors, is it too late for me to abandon darkness and embrace the light?"
