She Just Ran Off Like That?
As night deepened, starlight illuminated the sky Shrek City.
Clusters of firelight rose from the distance, trailing long flames as they pierced the night sky and flew towards the city.
The first wave consisted of Level 7 and Level 8 fixed-position Soul Tool Missile, which were extremely fast and densely packed like rain.
Flames swept across the city walls, the City Defense Array lit up automatically, and alarms blared throughout the city.
Inside the Shrek Academy, several figures simultaneously ascended into the air.
Strong members of the Tang Sect also rushed out, heading towards the flames.
An Tang Sect Elder raised his hand and shot energy towards the firelight in the sky. The energy transformed into a fine net, which covered the three Level 7 missiles, trapping and detonating them.
On the academy's side, several Sea God Pavilion Elder displayed their Soul Skill, and the barriers formed by their Soul Power spread out layer by layer in the air, blocking the missiles rushing into the city.
Explosions continued, and flames turned half the sky a fiery red.
There were just too many. Before the first wave could be stopped, the second wave of Level 8 missiles was already hovering over the city walls. A Level 7 missile that slipped through the net landed near the city walls and blasted down a section of the battlements.
The entire Shrek City descended into chaos during its most bustling period.
At this moment, the stench on Sea God Lake was overwhelming.
As the flames rose from the direction outside the city, Yun Ming was the first to look up. Standing on the pleasure boat, he gazed at the clusters of flames piercing the night sky, his face suddenly darkening.
Like dark clouds.
Long Yeyue swept down from the Golden Tree in the middle of the lake and landed beside him, her silver hair billowing in the night wind.
"It's Fixed Soul Cannon Shell," Long Yeyue said in a deep voice. "Someone actually dared to attack Shrek! They're incredibly audacious!"
"Let's stop the fixed-position Soul Tool Missile first," Yun Ming said.
"Whoever it is," Long Yeyue's gaze swept across the chaotic crowd on the lakeshore, sharp as a knife. "I'm going to see. Anyone who dares to fire cannons on Shrek City will be killed."
As soon as she finished speaking, she took to the air. Battle Armor surged from her body, its gleaming brilliance in the firelight. Without saying another word to Yun Ming, she sped off towards the outskirts of the city.
Yun Ming stood still, watching the direction she left, without stopping her.
He merely frowned slightly.
Meanwhile, the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda watched as Long Yeyue's figure swept across the lake shore and disappeared into the depths of the flames.
Qian Renxue frowned, remaining silent for a long time. She finally managed to utter a sentence.
"This Limit Douluo, he's just thinking about running away?"
"The Limit Douluo runs fast," Yin Hongye said calmly. "Who would do this job?"
"Are we going to hunt down the murderer?" Qian Renxue asked. "Isn't that it?"
Yin Hongye didn't answer directly, but simply pointed in the direction of the Shrek Academy. Qian Renxue looked in the direction he pointed.
Above the academy, more than a dozen figures were intercepting missiles amidst a fierce nighttime battle. Among them were teachers from Inner Court and Outer Court, but the most conspicuous was Cai Yue'er.
They each displayed their Soul Skill, creating layer upon layer of Soul Power barriers to intercept the missiles rushing into the academy.
"Look over there," Yin Hongye said. "Aren't they all blocking the way? Why is she the only exception?"
Qian Renxue opened her mouth, but no words came out. She saw a young Assistant Teacher being thrown over by the blast wave and disappearing into the flames.
All of Shrek City's high-level combatants are risking their lives to defend the city.
Only Long Yeyue went out of the city alone.
"This..." Qian Renxue fell silent, as if that made sense.
However, Yin Hongye was completely in a spectator mode, is that really okay? But Ya Li has been resurrected...
That shouldn't be a big deal.
"That old bastard has probably run away. Let's go check on him later. I guarantee he hasn't caught anyone." Yin Hongye recalled that in the original story, it seemed that he went to chase after the enemy, but he didn't catch any of them.
Beyond the Heavenly Screen Sea God Pavilion from the era of the Unrivaled Tang Clan.
Yan Shaozhe looked at Heavenly Screen night sky ablaze with flames, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed hard.
In the footage, missiles fall one after another, their power far exceeding that of any attack they have encountered in this era.
The academy's teachers desperately tried to intercept her in the air, but Long Yeyue's silver figure had already disappeared into the direction outside the city.
"This..." Yan Shaozhe stammered, "Sect Master, Long Yeyue... she must have gone to chase the murderer. How could someone from the Shrek Academy abandon their students and run away? She must have gone to cut off the enemy's retreat or to scout the situation. She looks to be the oldest and most experienced; she wouldn't do something like that."
Mu En leaned back in his recliner, not looking at him. The old man was just staring at the Heavenly Screen; he couldn't see the light in his eyes, but his mental power still allowed him to see the images.
"The future Shrek Academy has had a tough time; this power is even more intense than the one we experienced."
Beyond the Heavenly Screen lies the Sun Moon Empire.
Kong Deming stood by the window of Hall of Bright Virtue, watching the flames in the Heavenly Screen, his hands unconsciously gripping the window frame. He stared at the streaks of fire that pierced the night sky, at the exploding Soul Cannon.
"That explosion was quite powerful, and it seems the technology has been innovated."
Jing Hongchen, who was standing beside him, was also watching, her expression complex, but a barely suppressed smile was hidden at the corner of her mouth.
"This Soul Tool Technology..." he murmured, "Has the future already reached this point?"
But they soon witnessed what Level-Twelve Godslayer Soul Missile truly meant.
The Heavenly Screen was a sea of fireworks, turning purple Godslayer Soul Missile was launched.
In the sky, the clusters of figures that had previously risen from the Shrek Academy all vanished into the purple light, disappearing without a trace, as if they had been annihilated in an instant, completely erased from this world.
Just then, an unparalleled dazzling light erupted from Yun Ming's body, attempting to break free from the purple light, but the purple light was terrifying.
Just then, a giant skeleton appeared.
The purple Skull was a kilometer in diameter. It opened its mouth and spewed a mouthful of Flame downwards. On top of the Skull sat nine people, all dressed in black robes. The front of the black robes was edged with green light, and each of them had nine Soul Ring rising from their bodies.
Four black, four red, and one orange.
"Ghost Emperor, it's you! How dare you defy the world and launch Level Twelve Fixed Soul Cannon Shell!" Yun Ming's roar echoed in the air.
Terrifying energy fluctuations raged wildly across the entire Shrek Academy.
At the same time, in the distance, another light appeared. That light was green, a terrifying green, and the location of its explosion was the Tang Sect Headquarters.
The entire Shrek City has become a world of death. From the sky, one can see two ever-expanding vortexes, one green and one purple, devouring everything around them and constantly expanding outwards.
"Is this the power of the Level-Twelve Godslayer Soul Missile?"
Yin Hongye did a quick calculation of its power, and it was indeed quite significant.
"Is this the Level-Twelve Godslayer Soul Missile? Its power is terrifying!" Qian Renxue exclaimed, her eyes wide.
