A blinding red flare exploded in the night sky, like a blooming blood-red rose.
Meanwhile, on the main battlefield...
Toji, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er, suddenly stopped and retreated.
He looked up at the signal sent by the rescue team.
Hmm, it seems the operation went smoothly.
Next, they had to escape unscathed right under Shrek's nose!
In the instant Toji, Xian Lin'er had already brandished her spear and stabbed him fiercely.
Toji decisively threw another heavy punch, which collided with the spear, creating dazzling sparks.
Xian Lin'er was once again forced to retreat by this punch.
After Xian Lin'er was driven back, Cai Mei'er followed up again, letting out a delicate shout as her spear transformed into a streak of light, striking Toji's back.
Toji turning his head, he grabbed the sharp spear tip with his bare palm.
Then, with a sudden turn, his right leg lashed out like a whip.
The kick landed squarely on Cai Mei'er's abdomen, sending her flying dozens of meters before she crashed heavily into a giant rock on the Sea God Lake.
The boulder shattered with a deafening crash, and Cai Mei'er spat out a mouthful of blood as her spear flew out of her hand.
"Retreat!"
Toji and Du Busi had already planned this out.
Once the signal is received, evacuate immediately.
Going to war with the Limit Douluo now would come at too high a price.
Toji as they evacuated, Mu En, Xuan Zi, and the others also detected the signal that the Sea God Pavilion had risen.
"Oh no, this is a diversionary tactic!"
" Xuan Zi, go to the Sea God Pavilion and see how Zhang Lexuan is doing."
"And what about them?"
Xuan Zi gritted his teeth as he watched the Body Sect Sect's entire force about to withdraw.
These guys are far too cunning!
"I'll come myself."
Mu En's hunched body suddenly straightened, and the terrifying pressure of Level 99 Limit Douluo erupted like a tsunami.
His cloudy eyes turned completely golden, and a phantom of Radiant Sacred Dragon, stretching across the heavens and earth, appeared behind him.
"Want to leave?"
Two simple words, yet they seemed to freeze the air within a kilometer radius.
The fleeing group from the Body Sect suddenly stopped, as if they had fallen into an invisible quagmire.
"You won't leave Shrek today!"
Mu En's voice boomed like thunder.
Du Busi's expression changed drastically, and he turned around abruptly:
"Proceed according to plan, stop him!"
He was the first to meet Mu En, his body swirling with poisonous mist, and all nine of his Soul Ring simultaneously blazing with blinding light.
However, Mu En simply unleashed a simple, unadorned dragon claw strike.
Before Du Busi could even see Mu En's movements, he was struck on the head by a golden dragon claw, sending him flying like a broken sack, crashing through more than a dozen towering ancient trees before finally coming to a stop.
"Puff!"
Du Busi spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body, which was about to transform into a giant, dented in a large section.
"Metropolitan!"
Seeing their sect leader sent flying with a single blow, the powerful figures from the Body Sect went berserk and charged towards Mu En like madmen.
Hold him off!
You must hold him off!
When Xiong Jun saw that a real fight had broken out, he roared and his massive body instantly swelled to five meters tall, covered with dark golden fur.
Sharp claws extended, emitting a deafening roar, and fiercely met Mu En.
"Get out of my way." Mu En didn't even look at him, casually waving his hand away.
"Boom!"
Xiong Jun's Dark Gold Dreadclaw, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, were actually deflected by a beam of golden light.
His massive body staggered backward, each step leaving deep footprints on the ground.
Upon seeing this, the Myriad Demon King immediately released countless vines, but they spontaneously combusted and turned to ashes ten meters away from Mu En.
Mu En snorted coldly, continuing his charge towards Toji without stopping.
With each step he took, the golden light emanating from his body intensified.
Du Busi struggled to his feet, shouting hoarsely, "Everyone, attack together! Hold him off!"
All the Super Douluo level experts from the Body Sect attacked simultaneously, unleashing a torrent of various Soul Skill.
Ice Empress, the Myriad Demon King, Xiong Jun, and other Ferocious Beast also joined the attack.
However, Mu En simply stomped his foot lightly.
"Hold head high--"
A dragon's roar shook the heavens, and with a flick of its tail, the illusory image of the Radiant Sacred Dragon annihilated all the incoming Soul Skill.
The three Titled Douluo at the forefront were directly struck by the dragon's tail, spitting blood and flying backward.
"Fight to the death, never retreat!!!"
Du Busi, blinded by rage, immediately unleashed his Gold Grade Second Awakening talent and began to confront Mu En head-on.
Especially with the help of the three Ferocious Beast, Ice Empress, Xiong Jun, and Myriad Demon King, they were able to barely hold their own against Mu En.
But it was still a bit of a stretch.
"Never mind all that, unleash your true form!"
The Myriad Demon King's fierce roar echoed across the battlefield.
Xiong Jun was the first to attack, letting out a deafening roar.
His body expanded rapidly as if inflated, and his dark golden fur grew wildly, transforming in the blink of an eye into a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was a hundred meters tall.
Those signature terrifying claws grew to twenty meters long, their tips gleaming with a chilling light that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart.
At the same time, Ice Empress shed its humanoid disguise, and a giant scorpion emerged from the emerald green light.
" The Eternal Frozen Domain."
Ice Empress's scorpion tail swayed slightly, and an extreme chill instantly spread.
The temperature across the entire battlefield plummeted to absolute zero, and moisture in the air condensed directly into ice crystals that fell to the ground.
Even Mu En's speed was slowed down a bit.
They were clearly affected.
The three Ferocious Beast used their full strength at the same time and were finally able to barely hold their own against Mu En.
Meanwhile, while the battle raged on Mu En's side, Xuan Zi's body suddenly transformed into a blinding yellow light and shot into the sky, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky.
The yellow light was initially only about ten feet long, but it expanded in an instant, and the crystal-yellow flames dyed half of the sky amber.
A thunderous roar from a bull echoed through the heavens and the earth.
In the yellow light, a colossal shadow, a hundred meters long, gradually appeared. It had the head of a dragon and the body of an ox, and its entire body was covered with thick, bronze-colored scales. Two spiraling horns pointed straight to the sky, and the tips of the horns gleamed with a terrifying sharpness that distorted the very space.
The Godly Taotie Bull!
Xuan Zi rushed towards the Sea God Pavilion at full speed, trying to snatch Zhang Lexuan back.
Stop him!
All the remaining Titled Douluo of the Body Sect, as if with a clear division of labor, leaped up at the same time, each unleashing their strongest Soul Skill.
"Get out of here!"
Xuan Zi roared, and the Taotie True Body suddenly accelerated, raising its hand to sweep these people away.
"Boom!"
Amidst the deafening explosion, all the Titled Douluo who stood in front of Xuan Zi were sent flying backward, coughing up blood.
Xuan Zi continued his momentum, landing at top speed in the room where Zhang Lexuan was being held.
When the smoke cleared, Xuan Zi had returned to human form and was standing inside the house.
He looked around, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
The room where Zhang Lexuan had been confined was now completely empty.
Even the Titled Douluo guarding this place have disappeared.
It's highly likely that his ending won't be good either.
"You're late!"
Xuan Zi slammed his fist into the wall, causing the entire wall to collapse with a crash, his face filled with remorse.
Their goal was so clear that they completely outmaneuvered Shrek Academy.
How did they know Zhang Lexuan was being held here?
