Bring Me Your Souls, Leave Your Bodies Behind-Not One of You Will Escape!

Comparison Space

Third Arena

Chirp, chirp, chirp~!!!

An eerie cicada cry rang out again and again, rising and falling.

"Fuck, Gu Quan, do you even know how to fight? I've never had it this rough fighting alongside the boss!"

"Do you have any technique? Can you even handle your Martial Soul? If you can't, can't you practice? Can't you learn? You fiddle with that lousy Martial Soul all day, and I haven't seen you improve one bit!!"

"With support as incredible as mine, anyone else would be slaughtering them left and right!!!"

At the center of the Third Arena, Fang Yuan, dressed in a black robe and holding Golden Light in his hand, had endured more than three thousand lethal attacks in three minutes. He finally snapped.

In front of Fang Yuan, Gu Quan's right arm was broken, and countless lethal strikes had pierced his body. His wounds healed the next instant, but his face flushed crimson.

"If you're so good, you do it!"

"Fuck, what rotten luck! I got put in the Third Arena and surrounded by over ten thousand damned righteous Soul Masters. What am I supposed to do??"

"Enemies as far as the eye can see! Where are our allies? Our reinforcements? Our fellow Evil Soul Masters???"

Gu Quan looked up in despair. Everywhere he looked, he saw enemies.

It wasn't that he didn't want to make a move or slaughter his way through them. He simply had no room to act.

The moment he summoned his Martial Soul and released his aura, more than ten thousand Soul Masters surrounded him. If not for Fang Yuan's heaven-defying support Martial Soul, the barrage would have killed him long ago.

"One of the Holy Spirit Seven Heroes? Huo Yuhao's teammate, huh?"

"Die, you evil Evil Soul Master!!"

"Kill them!!!"

Gu Quan went pale. Until now, he had enjoyed only the benefits of being Huo Yuhao's teammate. He hadn't expected that it would earn him such special attention too.

Worse, enemies surrounded him on every side, with not a soul coming to help. Gu Quan lost it.

Watching the Soul Kings and Soul Emperors charge toward him without end, Gu Quan turned deathly pale. He couldn't help wondering what Huo Yuhao would do.

Lose?

Admit defeat??

Withdraw from the Heavenly Screen's comparison???

"No. We will never lose! There are no cowards among the Holy Spirit Seven Heroes!!!"

In that instant, Gu Quan's eyes turned bloodred. Hot blood rushed to his head, and a mad idea flashed through his mind.

"I'm going all in!"

"Twelve Corpse Slaves, puppets... explode!!!"

Gu Quan gritted his teeth and waved his hand. In an instant, more than a thousand Soul Emperor Corpse Puppets appeared before him.

The next moment, their bodies began to swell grotesquely. Terrifying Soul Power erupted from within them.

Hum~! Hum~!! Hum~!!!

BOOM!!!

As the densely packed Corpse Puppets unleashed Corpse Explosion all at once, the terrifying blast engulfed more than half the Comparison Arena.

At the heart of the explosion, Gu Quan watched it begin in despair. He knew there was no chance he would survive.

"Boss... I didn't let you down!!!"

Behind Gu Quan, Fang Yuan turned and saw what he had done. He immediately burst into curses.

"Fuck, if you're going to blow them up, do it properly! You didn't even warn me before leaving me to die. You're way too practiced at this!"

"Sixth Soul Skill: Spatial Reversal!!!"

Hum~!

In Fang Yuan's hand, an ink-black Soul Ring shattered. The next instant, space unfolded and enveloped Gu Quan.

BOOM~!!!

The violent explosion shook the entire Comparison Arena. Every Soul Master fighting, dueling, or hunting others across the arena looked up in terror and saw a massive mushroom cloud rise.

The next instant, Gu Quan's Points on the leaderboard began climbing wildly.

One thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand... two hundred thousand!

His Points rocketed to two hundred thousand in an instant, knocking second-place Qian Renxue down to third.

"A madman. He's an absolute madman!"

"Alive! He's still alive!!"

"This is bad! Those two seem to be among the Holy Spirit Seven Heroes. Take them out first, or there's no way to compete with those monsters around!!!"

Led by a Soul Douluo, dozens of Soul Saints and hundreds upon hundreds of Soul Emperors flew toward Gu Quan and Fang Yuan at the center of the blast.

"It's over. We're done for. Damn it...!"

"Bug boy, hurry up and restore my Corpse Puppets! Blow them up again, and we might still have a chance!"

At Gu Quan's words, Fang Yuan finally exploded.

"Do you really think I'm a god who controls time?"

"I don't have that much Soul Power. Even if I did, my Martial Soul couldn't take it. I can't restore them. Ask whoever the hell you want!"

Gu Quan panicked at once.

"This is bad! We've used every trump card we have and haven't even made it through the Preliminary Selection. The boss is going to kill us!"

Fang Yuan smiled calmly. Facing enemies by the thousands, he straightened his black robe without the slightest hurry and spoke with wild arrogance.

"I'm Fang Yuan, third of the Holy Spirit Seven Heroes! Huo Yuhao is my boss! Who dares kill me!!!"

At those words, more than half the Soul Masters coming to exterminate the Evil Soul Masters stopped at once.

Seeing that it worked, Fang Yuan was overjoyed.

"I was Huo Yuhao's personal top-tier support during the Peerless Era! I helped the Undead Saint Son destroy his enemies at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion! Our three-against-a-thousand battle is on record! Who dares kill me!!!"

A deathly silence fell over the arena. Everyone had witnessed Huo Yuhao's ruthlessness when the Heavenly Screen revealed it.

This was the teammate who had helped Huo Yuhao wipe out an entire clan. Killing him would surely bring death upon them!

"Holy shit, you can use the boss's reputation like that?"

Standing to one side, Gu Quan felt as though a door to a new world had opened before him.

He was just about to speak.

"Kill them! If they're that useful, we have even more reason to stop them from helping Huo Yuhao win the Seven Monsters Comparison!"

"Victory belongs to Shrek, and glory belongs to us at Shrek!!"

"Evil Soul Masters must die!!!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~!!!

As the air rang with sharp rushing sounds, the Soul Douluo led his people in a charge that reached them in an instant.

"This is bad. That bluff didn't hold..."

Fang Yuan immediately looked toward the Heavenly Screen.

"Heavenly Screen, I want to withdraw from the com—"

The words caught in Fang Yuan's throat. Looking up, he saw a black-robed figure with black hair and bloodred eyes striding through the air within the golden Heavenly Screen.

"Heh... hahahahaha...!"

As that wild, demonic laughter rang out, everyone's expression changed drastically.

"This is bad!"

"It's Huo Yuhao!!"

"He really came here intent on killing us!!!"

Outside the Heavenly Screen

When everyone saw Huo Yuhao appear in the Third Arena, their faces changed drastically. A dark premonition suddenly gripped them.

"H-how is this possible? Didn't Huo Yuhao pass the Preliminary Selection?"

"Wasn't he the sole winner of the Second Arena??"

"How did he get into the Third Arena!!!"

"Run! Everyone in the Second Arena's comparison, withdraw now!!!"

"You've only got two and a half seconds..."

In the Third Arena, everyone's pupils contracted sharply. Hearing that familiar, wild demonic laughter and seeing the black-robed figure with black hair and Blood Eyes, they knew their lives had entered their final countdown.

"This is bad! It's Huo Yuhao... Everyone, run!"

"Heavenly Screen! Heavenly Screen, withdraw from the com—"

"It's... it's too late!!!"

As terrifying Spiritual Power descended, darkness swallowed the vision of everyone in the Third Arena.

"Give me your souls. Leave your bodies behind. Not one of you will escape!!!"
