Xuan Zi turned his head to look at Huo Yuhao behind him, his eyes scanning the boy repeatedly. He began to wonder if Huo Yuhao was truly an evil soul master.
But soon, Xuan Zi dismissed this terrifying thought.
He began to cast his gaze toward Qian Daoliu, Ye Xishui, and Long Xiaoyao.
Xuan Zi did not even know whether he should deal with Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, or Qian Daoliu first.
Just as Xuan Zi's expression flickered with uncertainty, he heard Long Xiaoyao's voice transmission: "Xuan Zi, I am helping Huo Yuhao at Mu En's request..."
Thinking of the complicated history between Elder Mu, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui, Xuan Zi felt skeptical. Ultimately, he took a deep breath and temporarily set aside his grievances with those two.
He prepared to take down Qian Daoliu first.
At the same time, Xuan Zi pondered how to mobilize more power to kill the Angel Douluo, Qian Daoliu, who stood before him.
Soon, Xuan Zi noticed the strongest force on the scene—the Sun Moon Empire.
Xuan Zi shouted toward Xu Tianran, who was surrounded by a group of soul engineers on the podium: "Sun Moon Emperor Xu Tianran, such villains have appeared at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament; shouldn't your Sun Moon Empire step in to manage this?"
Using his soul power, Xuan Zi's voice was heard clearly by the millions of spectators both inside and outside the arena.
Joining Xuan Zi in calling out to the Sun Moon Emperor Xu Tianran was that 99th-rank peerless Douluo woman, her body radiating an evil aura: "Xu Tianran, my good son, shouldn't you seek justice for those disciples of my Holy Spirit Cult who died so miserably?"
This person was none other than the Limit Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult, Ye Xishui. The owner of the dark dragon-shaped martial soul she had been chasing earlier was the Holy Spirit Cult's other Limit Douluo, Long Xiaoyao.
However, Ye Xishui did not call out publicly; instead, she used a voice transmission to remind Xu Tianran.
Hearing this, the Sun Moon Emperor, who had originally intended to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, turned grim. His fingers tapped rhythmically against the edge of his wheelchair. After a long while, Xu Tianran relayed Ye Xishui's threat to the yellow-robed elder beside him: "Elder Kong, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
The yellow-robed elder's voice was low, yet every word was clear: "The Holy Spirit Cult's foundation in Ming Capital has already been largely eradicated by that Angel Douluo. Their main force is lost, and they are already at the end of their rope; they cannot stir up any major waves."
"In this old servant's opinion, what we should do right now is act decisively and completely sever ties with the Holy Spirit Cult. By doing so, we will no longer be dragged down by their notoriety, we can take the opportunity to show goodwill toward the Angel Douluo, and we can watch as the Angel Douluo, Shrek, the Body Sect, and the Holy Spirit Cult fight amongst themselves. It is a plan that achieves multiple goals at once."
"Elder Kong, brilliant!"
Xu Tianran was overjoyed upon hearing this and said to the elder: "Elder Kong, mobilize more Royal Soul Engineer Corps. Surround the entire competition venue; do not let a single fly escape."
"Yes! Your Majesty is wise!"
Elder Kong bowed to accept the order. He immediately took out a silver voice-transmission soul tool and commanded in a deep voice: "Royal Soul Engineer Corps, surround the arena immediately and activate the linked defensive light barrier!"
As the order was issued, a large number of soul engineers in uniform combat armor quickly assembled. They surged in from all directions, surrounding the arena layer by layer. Brilliant soul-guided light intertwined and rose, and a thick defensive barrier instantly enveloped the entire field, sealing off all paths of entry and exit.
On the competition field, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao watched as the Sun Moon Emperor not only failed to send men to suppress Qian Daoliu but instead added more troops to seal off all escape routes.
A grim thought rose in the hearts of Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao: "Xu Tianran is abandoning the Holy Spirit Cult!"
This was the same thought shared by both of them.
On the field, Qian Daoliu stood quietly. He keenly sensed the evil, malevolent aura permeating Ye Xishui and the cold, dark soul power surrounding Long Xiaoyao. His brow was filled with deep disgust.
He swept his gaze over the two of them, his tone indifferent and tinged with arrogance as he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you two fallen ones, that you dare to come out and block me!"
The majestic, holy aura around Qian Daoliu surged violently, transforming into an invisible pressure that swept outward, pinning the two of them down.
Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao felt their soul power obstructed and their strength significantly suppressed, yet they still stood their ground, blocking the path in front of Huo Yuhao.
Ye Xishui said coldly: "This Seat is the Death God Douluo, Ye Xishui!"
Long Xiaoyao added in a deep voice: "This old man is the Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao. I have come to exchange pointers with Your Excellency!"
In an instant, the situation on the field turned into Qian Daoliu against four.
These four consisted of two 99th-rank peerless Douluos and two 98th-rank super Douluos. For a moment, Qian Daoliu was actually at a disadvantage.
But Qian Daoliu was not afraid in the slightest: "Very well, then today I shall act on behalf of the heavens and take care of you two fallen ones!"
"Qian Daoliu, I will assist you!"
A cold, feminine voice rang out suddenly. Bo Saixi stepped forward, azure light soaring into the sky. Her Sea God Martial Soul, Poseidon, manifested with a roar, and the pressure of a 99th-rank peerless Douluo erupted.
The vast and boundless "Ocean Domain" spread out instantly, the power of the tides surging in all directions, merging with Qian Daoliu's holy aura.
Her gaze was stern as she stood firmly by Qian Daoliu's side, determined to join forces to face the others.
Just as Qian Daoliu was about to strike, Bo Saixi, having recovered a portion of her soul power, felt a surge of worry upon seeing him surrounded by four super-powerhouses. She had originally wanted to pull Tang Chen in to help Qian Daoliu as well.
However, Tang Chen had just released his ring-detonation soul skill, leaving him with less than one percent of his strength, so she had no choice but to assist Qian Daoliu alone.
"Xixi!"
Qian Daoliu looked at the beautiful, powerful, and understanding Bo Saixi before him, and a hint of sweetness rose in his heart.
But considering that Bo Saixi had not yet fully recovered her strength, Qian Daoliu looked at her with concern: "Xixi, your strength has not yet recovered; why not deal with Du Busi and Xuan Zi instead!"
"As for these two fallen ones, leave them to me!"
As he spoke, Qian Daoliu's Angel Domain already covered the area where Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were located.
Hearing this, Bo Saixi did not refuse: "Very well!"
Bo Saixi's "Ocean Domain" instantly enveloped Du Busi and Xuan Zi.
On the spectator stand, Xu Tianran pointed at Bo Saixi on the field and said to Elder Kong beside him: "Elder Kong, it is just as you said; that Angel Douluo's friend is also a 99th-rank peerless Douluo!"
"Originally, I was worried that His Excellency the Angel Douluo would be unable to contend with four Super Douluo alone!"
"It seems I was overthinking it now!"
"Someone, see to it that the friend of His Excellency the Angel Douluo is well treated!"
Xu Tianran thought of something else and ordered his healing soul masters to treat Tang Chen, who was lying not far from Qian Daoliu.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
On the battlefield, due to the arrival of Bo Saixi, the scales of victory tilted once again toward Qian Daoliu's side.
However, because Bo Saixi's soul power had yet to recover, Qian Daoliu had no choice but to end the battle quickly.
Thus, Qian Daoliu held nothing back.
"Seventh Soul Skill—Angel True Body!"
"Ninth Soul Skill—Angel Descent!"
"Ninth Soul Skill—Breath of the Angel."
Bo Saixi: "Ninth Soul Skill—Sea God Imprisonment!"
As the three great soul skills manifested, the sacred light around Qian Daoliu surged violently. The golden radiance hung in the air like a scorching sun, and the majestic pressure descended like Mount Tai, locking Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao firmly in place. Ye Xishui, in particular, suffered the greatest suppression—the evil, baleful aura surrounding her was continuously dissolved by the sacred power, her soul power circulation became as sluggish as mud, and even raising her hand became exceptionally difficult.
Gritting her teeth, Ye Xishui quickly produced a dark golden defensive soul tool. As she poured her soul power into it, a black-gold shield expanded, attempting to withstand the might of the angel.
But Qian Daoliu's ninth soul skill, "Angel Descent," had already fallen. The giant golden blade, carrying the power to incinerate all evil, cleaved downward. With a crisp "crack," the high-grade defensive soul tool was instantly shattered into pieces, sending fragments flying.
