The Holy Spirit Cult's Grand Elder Was Still Putting in Work, and Huo Yuhao's Miserable Plight
"Careful--"
Huo Yuhao's almost screaming echoed in the cave, but it was too late.
Rumble--
Violent roars echoed throughout the cave, and terrifying explosions accompanied by flying blood and flesh scattered everywhere. Ning Tian's pupils shrank sharply, and then he pulled Wu Feng beside him, his body gleaming with a brilliant silver light.
The defense of the Eternal Boundary Wall, Level 8 Soul Tool, must be impenetrable by the power of Corpse Explosion. However, looking at the series of explosions outside, which resembled a complete coverage by Fixed Soul Cannon Shell, Ning Tian, holding Wu Feng's hand, was still filled with lingering fear.
What horrified Ning Tian even more was that the splattered flesh and blood, upon landing on the protective barrier of the Eternal Boundary Wall, emitted a pungent white smoke, much like sulfuric acid corroding an object.
"This is Soul Skill that Soul King can activate? This Western Legion must be illiterate, mistaking Soul Sage for Soul King."
Wu Feng's full chest heaved violently as she stomped her feet in anger.
The violent explosion lasted for more than ten seconds before finally stopping. The stronger the corpse was in life, the greater the power of the explosion. The explosion of the corpse of the Five-Ring Soul King killed by Ma Xiaotao was so powerful that it felt like the earth was shaking.
The moment the explosion rang out, Xuan Zi, who was sitting on the cave ceiling enjoying a hearty meal of wine and meat, froze abruptly, his face instantly filled with terror.
"No, no, no--! No way! How could there be an explosion of this magnitude? How could it be!?"
"Children, wait for me! You must wait for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Zi transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the cave.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the entire cave was almost entirely stained with blood.
The seven reserve team members arrived late and were almost all on the outermost edge of the battlefield, but there were still quite a few corpses scattered around.
Even though Huo Yuhao had given them a timely reminder, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who were at the forefront and eager to vent their anger, didn't have a single protective Soul Tool.
The two were completely unprepared for this turn of events, and by the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.
By the time Huo Yuhao and the others arrived, the two had already been blown unconscious, their backs covered in blood, and their flesh had even begun to turn black, clearly indicating that they had been poisoned by a potent corpse toxin.
It was only because their cultivation and Martial Soul were extraordinary that they released a large amount of lightning and shockwave power at the moment of the explosion; otherwise, the result would not have been a simple serious injury.
Upon seeing the two men's miserable state, Wang Yan gasped and quickly stepped forward, pushing aside the anxious Huo Yuhao and the others. With trembling hands, he took out two antidote pills from his Storage Soul Tool and fed them to the two men.
Just then, an extremely terrifying aura rushed in from the outside of the cave.
Xuan Zi glanced at Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, whose faces were sometimes flushed with an eerie red and sometimes tinged with a deathly pale gray. The emotions in his eyes could no longer be described as grief and indignation.
Despite his leadership and presence, such a massive loss still occurred.
However, the reserve team on the outskirts suffered a tragic result: two seriously injured and one slightly injured. Among the seriously injured was even Bei Bei, the young master of Shrek!
You should know that Mu En only has one successor, Bei Bei.
If something were to happen to Bei Bei, Xuan Zi wouldn't know how he would face Mu En and the many powerful figures in the Sea God Pavilion who had received guidance or favors from Mu En.
After anxiously confirming from Wang Yan that Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were out of immediate danger, Xuan Zi breathed a sigh of relief, only to suddenly remember the Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters were deeper inside.
The explosions on the outer perimeter alone caused such devastating consequences; Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters, who were deeper inside and facing at least three Soul King- level bandits?
The firepower they bear is at least ten times, or even dozens of times, that of the outer areas!
So they...
For a moment, Xuan Zi felt a chill run through his body. He didn't say anything more and just rushed into the depths of the cave.
After rushing for several dozen meters, the view suddenly opened up before me.
In the spacious cave, Xuan Zi immediately saw Ma Xiaotao and the others covered in blood. Some of them were lying haphazardly on the ground, while others were leaning against the rock wall, panting heavily.
After anxiously scanning the surroundings, Xuan Zi was suddenly astonished to find that although all of the Main Team Shrek Seven Monsters, except for Jiang Yu, were injured and their injuries were not minor, their injuries were still within a controllable range.
Xuan Zi quickened his pace and then came to Xi Xi, who was struggling to stop Yao Haoxuan's bleeding.
Upon getting closer, Xuan Zi gasped in shock.
Yao Haoxuan's entire right leg was blown to pieces, the bone was visible, and there were countless scattered wounds on his body. Fortunately, Yao Haoxuan took the medicine in time, and although he had developed a high fever, he managed to save his body and his life.
Upon seeing Xuan Zi, Xi Xi looked up at him briefly, then lowered her head again to continue cleaning Yao Haoxuan's wounds.
But that one glance made Xuan Zi feel ashamed as if he had been stripped naked and thrown into a crowd.
Just as Xuan Zi was at a loss, Jiang Yu, who was treating Ling Luochеn's wounds not far away, said without turning his head:
"Xuan Zi, if you have nothing better to do, then you should hurry up and chase after that Death Messenger. I was busy rescuing people and only managed to lightly injure him with my attack. I'll have to leave the cleanup to you..."
Jiang Yu didn't tell Xuan Zi was that his Space-Time Slash had just destroyed the passage behind the cave, leaving the Death Messenger with nowhere to escape. He turned and fled into the interconnected passageways around the cave.
If Xuan Zi hadn't acted quickly, this guy might have sensed Xuan Zi's presence, realized he couldn't escape alone, and then randomly grabbed someone to take with him...
Just as Jiang Yu was thinking this, a commotion and a series of shrill laughs suddenly came from the cave passage outside the main hall.
"Xuan Zi, come quickly and save Yuhao-- "
Then, Wang Dong's almost voiceless roar rang out.
Jiang Yu: OVO?
Well done Death Messenger! I knew I hadn't misjudged you; you're the strongest Soul King in history.
It's true that you can tell a master's skill just by looking at their work.
Xuan Zi was taken aback at first, then his eyes widened instantly, and his expression immediately became distorted.
As he exerted force with his feet, nine Spirit Ring instantly rose up, the earth cracked, and he shot out like a cannonball, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Sigh, anyone who didn't know better would think Xuan Zi an undercover agent sent by Evil Soul Master. How come something unexpected always happens when he leads a team?"
Jiang Yu glanced at Xuan Zi's retreating figure, sighed, and then looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
"My methods remain authoritative."
It was a large bow, though it didn't look like a butterfly and you couldn't tell where the bow was, but at least it stopped the bleeding on Ling Luochеn's calf. Incidentally, it wrapped Ling Luochеn's entire calf and most of his thigh up like a mummy.
Raising his head, Jiang Yu looked at Ling Luochеn.
Noticing Jiang Yu's gaze, Ling Luochеn's thick eyelashes, like butterfly wings, trembled slightly, and gratitude and some emotions that Jiang Yu couldn't understand surged in her icy blue eyes.
After gently pursing his lips, Ling Luochеn said softly:
I owe you my life...
