Seeing that the Plant Academy had actually come up with such an amazing Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and had even decisively taken the Shrek Academy members hostage, Qian Renxue, who was landing afterward, secretly admired them.
With these people as hostages, it's practically impossible for a fight to break out.
"Gentlemen, don't you owe me an explanation?"
Folding her wings, Qian Renxue atop the giant tree, gazing indifferently at the group of men in black suspended in mid-air.
The thousand knights of the Firmament Knights of the Heaven Dou Empire landed in perfect unison behind Qian Renxue.
Although those medium-sized airships are only supposed to carry thirty people by standard, they can still squeeze in if you want.
Therefore, the Heaven Dou Empire dispatched a total of two thousand royal knights, with the Firmament Knights being the largest.
Seeing the thousands of Firmament Knights behind Qian Renxue, many men in black felt apprehensive, and even the hundred Titled Douluo- level experts became more solemn.
The Heaven Dou Empire's royal family has maintained a stable reign for over a thousand years, which is no small feat.
Before its inherited Martial Soul, Gale Swan, evolved into the Imperial Scepter, it could not be called the overlord of the sky and could not compare to the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul of the Qian Family, but it did not have the strict inheritance restrictions of the Six-Winged Angel.
Because it is God Level Martial Soul, it is similar to the situation of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Clan. Only one successor of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul can appear in each generation. As for the bloodline born by others, it is impossible for them to Awakening the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. It is much more Tyrannical Dao than the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Clan.
The Heaven Dou Imperial Family's Swift Swan Martial Soul inheritance has almost no restrictions, and coupled with the widespread dissemination of the royal bloodline, this has resulted in a large and prosperous Heaven Dou Imperial Family family. Consequently, these royal descendants formed the Firmament Knights, an elite legion.
Compared to the Spirit Emperor level of the Royal Knights, the threshold for the Firmament Knights is even higher, reaching the Soul Saint level.
In other words, the lowest level of the Firmament Knights accompanying Qian Renxue is Soul Shengxiu, and there are many Soul Douluo- level experts among them. Even the legion commander who came with her this time is a Titled Douluo- level expert.
The most deadly thing is that the Firmament Knights all possess the ability to fly, are extremely fast, and have extremely strong combat power. They can even fight opponents of higher levels in the sky.
That's not all. Because they share the same Martial Soul, the Firmament Knights have all mastered Multi-Person Fusion Skill. Although they can't compare to Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their power is by no means inferior due to their large number of members.
That's why they gathered hundreds of Titled Douluo and thousands of Soul Douluo to carry out this attack.
Their plan was to launch a massive attack and obliterate the Plant Academy before the Firmament Knights could react, then quickly retreat after completing their mission.
But who would have thought that the Plant Academy would inexplicably discover their presence ahead of time, and most importantly, capture the Shrek Academy members as hostages, which struck at their Achilles' heel.
"It seems this is a misunderstanding. We received intelligence that someone was plotting against you, so we came ahead of time to provide support."
It seems our intelligence was wrong. You all step back!
After sitting down in silence, the leading Titled Douluo pulled up the black cloth covering his face and laughed loudly, while making a hand gesture with his hands behind his back.
The powerful figures behind them understood and withdrew their Martial Soul, controlling their flying Soul Beast to retreat ten miles away.
With palms outstretched, displaying an attitude of no hostility, the leading Titled Douluo slowly flew forward.
Before he could even get close, countless thorny vines suddenly shot out from the giant tree, aiming directly at the Titled Douluo who was slowly approaching.
Sensing something was wrong, the leading Titled Douluo quickly retreated, his expression showing more anger.
He was so close, so close to using his trump card to save Tang San and the others, and then start the battle.
Unfortunately, Little Nine possesses the Haki power inherited from Wang Hao. Although she cannot truly Future Sight, her perception of danger is extremely keen, almost to the point of being able to predict it to a certain extent.
Just as that Titled Douluo approached, Little Nine's inner warning kicked in again, and she naturally guessed that the other party was up to something, so she decisively took action to force him back.
"It would be better for you to stay there!"
Standing atop the treetop, Qian Renxue's lips curled into a mocking smile, while the Soul Skill of the thousands of Sky Knights behind her were all poised to be unleashed.
Clearly, Qian Renxue was also wary of the other party. Even if Little Nine hadn't made a move, she would have ordered the Firmament Knights behind her to blast the other party to smithereens.
In this situation, nothing the other party says can be trusted; if you believe it, you'll definitely suffer a terrible fate.
"Do you really intend to become enemies of the Empire?!"
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Qian Renxue looked up at the sky, her cold expression even more intense.
Just moments ago, a distress signal came from her trusted confidants in the airship team that was continuing to move away from this area. Another assassination team had appeared, led by a full ten Titled Douluo.
Although she left behind a thousand royal knights, their strength was far inferior to that of the Firmament Knights, and they were simply not enough to protect all the participating teams.
"Damn it, our intelligence was right, someone is indeed planning to ambush our group. Brothers, let's rush back together! We can't let those scoundrels succeed."
The leading Titled Douluo completely ignored Qian Renxue's words, and with a loud roar, charged towards the airship fleet high in the sky.
Judging from their posture, they were clearly going to their heroic sacrifice; someone who didn't know the truth would actually believe it.
The men in black behind them quickly followed. Since the first objective couldn't be achieved, they had to move on to the second.
"Leave a small squad to guard His Highness the Crown Prince here; the rest of you, follow me."
The accompanying commander of the Sky Knights decisively ordered a swift return with nine hundred Firmament Knights to provide reinforcements.
Although they understood that this was a ploy to lure the enemy away, it was an open strategy. For the sake of the academy teams in the airship fleet, they had no choice but to go back and rescue them.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince is of noble status and cannot continue to take risks. The method devised by the Plant Academy is indeed excellent, and with members of the Shrek Team as hostages, he is absolutely safe here.
Not to mention Xiao Jiu and Qian Renxue's side, the battle in the sky was particularly fierce. Although the Royal Knights also had the ability to fly, they were far inferior to the Sky Knights and could only passively defend.
Facing a hundred Soul Douluo powerhouses led by ten Titled Douluo, they suffered heavy losses in a short time. Their defensive line was torn apart and they rushed into the academy airship area that was being protected in the rear.
Just then, a figure appeared strangely on the airship where the First Heaven Dou Team was located. The figure appeared right next to Ye Lingling Ye Lingling and immediately attacked her. Clearly, this was the target of the attack.
As a pure healing-type Soul Master, Ye Lingling's combat ability is not strong. Even though her physical strength has improved a lot with Oscar's help during this period, she is now facing a Titled Douluo, and one with the ability of Spatial Teleportation Titled Douluo.
Caught off guard, Ye Lingling had no time to retaliate and was about to be struck by the opponent's Soul Skill and perish when Oscar, who had been guarding her side, made his move.
"Bang!"
With a single punch, the opponent's Soul Skill was forcibly shattered.
During this period, Oscar received a large amount of resources from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and his physical strength improved by leaps and bounds, making him capable of contending with Soul Saint level experts.
This scene surprised the Titled Douluo had launched the attack. Although he had only used his fourth Soul Skill in pursuit of speed, his Titled Douluo cultivation was enough to instantly kill a Spirit Emperor.
But now it was shattered by a single punch from this guy who only had the cultivation of Soul King, which is quite unbelievable.
Although he was quite surprised, his combat skills were not bad. After failing to kill Ye Lingling, he decisively attacked again, and the first attack was a powerful move.
With a burst of Soul Skill, a ghostly shadow was unleashed, sending Ye Lingling flying from the airship. Then, with a flash, it continued its pursuit of the plummeting Ye Lingling.
"Damn it, I'm your opponent!"
This scene enraged Oscar, who roared and stomped heavily on the side of the airship, his body shooting towards the direction where Ye Lingling and the Titled Douluo were falling.
It was only then that Yu Tianheng and the others realized what was happening, and their faces turned extremely ugly.
"Use that move!"
As the team leader, Yu Tianheng decisively gave the order, and at the same time, he immediately took his girlfriend Dugu Yan's hand, and the two completed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the first instant.
A blinding flash of Soul Power appeared, and a Great God, its body wreathed in lightning, materialized.
It is not a dinosaur like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but a true divine Shenron, extremely similar to the Huaxia Shenron.
This is the product of the fusion of Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul Fusion. Its strength is at least ten times greater than the two individual Martial Souls. At the same time, the fusion of the two Martial Souls also caused their Soul Power to undergo a qualitative change, reaching the level of Soul Saint, allowing them to unleash their Martial Soul Avatar.
The other members of the First Heaven Dou Team were also very decisive. At the first moment Yu Tianheng gave the order, they fused together without hesitation, resulting in five Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
That wasn't the end of it. Immediately afterwards, the Thunder Shenron that Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan had transformed into opened their mouths wide and swallowed the Martial Soul Fusion of the other eight people one by one.
With each one it devoured, the Thunder Shenron doubled in size, until it had transformed into a colossal creature the size of a palm.
Ignoring the shock of the surrounding academy members, Yu Tianheng controlled the Thunder Shenron and charged downwards immediately.
Although the Thunder Shenron was enormous, it did not appear bulky or slow. Its massive body transformed into a bolt of lightning, catching up with the falling Titled Douluo before it could arrive, and lashing out at him with a Shenron lash.
"What the hell is that?!"
Sensing the danger behind him, the Titled Douluo decisively used his Teleportation Soul Skill to flash to the side. When he saw the enormous creature that attacked him, even with his composure, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
If the Thunder Shenron hadn't been in energy form, he would have thought it was a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast.
This is probably the extent to which even Titled Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar can be displayed.
Realizing that this was something with the combat power of a Titled Douluo, and that the opponent's aerial combat ability seemed extremely strong, at least in terms of speed, they were astonished.
The Titled Douluo immediately realized that he could not engage in a prolonged battle, as their time was limited. They had to complete their mission before the Firmament Knights returned to reinforce them and withdraw as soon as possible.
With a heavy heart, this Titled Douluo decisively unleashed one of his Soul Skill.
"Puff!"
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the pale-faced Titled Douluo retreated without looking back.
" Lingling!"
At the same time, Oscar, who was still falling below, let out a mournful roar. Ye Lingling below also spat out a mouthful of blood, and her life force began to dissipate rapidly.
It was clear that he had been injured by a special Soul Skill used by that Titled Douluo.
That's right, the Soul Skill that Titled Douluo just used was a rare curse-type Soul Skill. It only requires obtaining the opponent's hair or something similar to cast a curse, and anyone below the Soul Shengxiu will undoubtedly die.
They had obtained a strand of Ye Lingling's hair before setting off, but using this kind of Soul Skill would come at a considerable cost.
He really didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary; he was forced to do so just now.
After all, compared to the punishment for failing to complete the task, paying a price is better.
"How dare you!"
Seeing Ye Lingling being ambushed, Yu Tianheng was furious and immediately prepared to control the Thunder Shenron to hunt down the Titled Douluo, but he was restrained by Dugu Yan.
" Tian Heng, don't be impulsive. Saving Lingling is the priority now. Quickly take her to the Plant Academy Plant Academy. With their healing abilities, they might be able to save Lingling."
"Hold head high!"
Looking at Ye Lingling falling, and then at the fleeing Titled Douluo, Yu Tianheng, burning with rage, roared to the sky, causing the Thunder Shenron to let out a dragon's roar as well.
Without hesitation, it transformed into a bolt of lightning, grabbing Oscar and Ye Lingling in its dragon claws and rushing towards the location where the Plant Academy had previously fallen.
