The sword energy was sharp and shattered space, creating spatial rifts throughout the sea. The seawater on both sides gathered towards the center, but then flowed into the spatial rifts.
The weak Sea Soul Beast, unable to escape in time, fell directly into that void, its life force vanishing instantly.
Huo Yuhao stretched out his hand and waved it gently, and the countless spatial rifts immediately began to close.
The remaining sword energy in the space also quickly dissipated.
Xiao Xiao and the others, who had just repelled a number of Sea Soul Beast, witnessed the scene of Shadow's sword strike from afar, and everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.
"Everyone, retreat immediately. This is beyond our capabilities."
Jiang Nannan shouted and, along with Wu Feng and Ning Tian, instantly retreated more than a hundred meters away.
Xiao Xiao and the others reacted quickly and caught up.
"What's that Shadow doing here? His strength is ridiculously exaggerated. Even Titled Douluo couldn't pull off that sword strike."
Wang Dong'er looked at the black figure in the air and the terrifying power of that sword that seemed to cleave an insurmountable barrier, and exclaimed in surprise.
" Xiao Xiao, can your Dark Gold Dreadclaw achieve this level of skill?" Wu Feng's eyes flickered, he swallowed hard, and asked with difficulty.
Xiao Xiao looked down at her hands, then recalled the sword strike from Shadow just now, and shook her head helplessly.
"I can't do that. If it were a lake like Sea God Lake, I could barely manage it with my current cultivation level."
"I can only attempt this level of skill once I become Titled Douluo."
"Hiss! That's terrifying. Who is this person? There are actually such experts on the Douluo Continent." Jing Ziyan couldn't help but exclaim.
Ning Tian said, " Shadow, haven't you in the Sun Moon Empire heard of him? His origins are mysterious, and his strength is unfathomable."
Jing Ziyan's eyes widened as she looked at the dark figure in the distance, and said, "Is that Shadow? That guy is terrifying to Shrek..."
Wu Feng nodded and said, "That's right, he is Shadow. With this attire and such strength, it can only be him."
"The other members of the Shadow Garden don't feel this kind of oppressive atmosphere."
Ji Juechen closed his eyes, moved by the unparalleled sword energy that filled the air.
"He's so strong, I... am not as good as him... Only by sparring with such top masters can my swordsmanship improve significantly."
Wu Feng looked like he'd seen a ghost and exclaimed in astonishment, "No way, buddy? Are you crazy? Forget about sparring, you probably wouldn't even get within a hundred meters of Shadow before he strikes you down and you don't even know how you died!"
Ji Juechen glanced at it coldly, said nothing, and stared at the dark figure in the distance, his fighting spirit rising.
Jing Ziyan quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, " Ji Juechen is a sword fanatic, and this Shadow also uses a sword. They admire each other, so maybe they can have a friendly spar, hahaha... hahaha."
"Look, there's someone over there!" Wang Dong'er pointed forward with her slender finger.
In the distance, a figure suddenly appeared a hundred meters ahead of the Shadow.
The man held a pale bone staff in his hand, and a bone finger mask covered the lower half of his face, revealing a pair of pitch-black eyes with a hint of bloodthirsty red light.
His entire body was enveloped in billowing black mist, which formed eerie skulls in the air, surrounding him and constantly emitting a nauseatingly evil aura.
"Such a strong aura of evil, at least at the level of Titled Douluo." Wang Qiu'er stared at the evil figure, wary.
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone looked around warily, as if facing a formidable enemy.
With the appearance of Shadow and this unknown Titled Douluo Evil Soul Master, who knows what will happen next?!
Huo Yuhao looked at the Grand Preceptor of the Sun Moon Empire, who was also the current leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhongli Wu.
" Shadow, this matter has nothing to do with you. Leave immediately, or you will suffer excruciating pain!" Zhongli Wu clenched his right fist tightly behind his back, his eyes cold, and warned sharply.
Through the dark brim of his hat, Huo Yuhao's hand flashed with a cold light.
The sharp sword energy tore through space and attacked Zhongli Wu directly.
"So fast!"
Zhongli Wu's pupils suddenly contracted, and the terrifying sword energy arrived in front of him almost in the blink of an eye.
The extreme sense of crisis made his hair stand on end instantly, his blood seemed to rush from his feet to his back, and a chill ran down his spine.
Driven by the fear of death, he instinctively channeled all his Soul Power into the bone staff in his hand, holding it in front of him.
Boom boom boom!
The Zhongli Wu in the air was smashed directly into the deep sea, and the sea area within a hundred meters instantly exploded.
Huo Yuhao stood in the air, his eyes slightly narrowed, staring at his feet.
The water splashed down, and the sea fell into a brief, eerie silence.
Beneath the surface of the sea, a large section of Zhongli Wu's chest was caved in, and he was uncontrollably spitting out mouthfuls of blood, mixed with some flesh and blood.
Clearly, he had suffered severe internal injuries from that single blow.
Zhongli Wu looked down at his hands; large patches of flesh had disappeared, leaving only pale bones.
His bone staff, which had gathered numerous evil spirits, had also broken into several pieces, with black smoke constantly emanating from the broken ends.
The wronged spirits struggled and howled in the crack, as if they would burst through at any moment.
"Cough cough... Damn it, if it weren't for the backlash, I wouldn't be in this state... I must find a way to recover some strength before I can fight again."
Zhongli Wu reached out, and a black vortex appeared in the center of his bone palm. The wronged souls in the bone staff let out mournful cries and were absorbed by it in the blink of an eye.
His arm, which had been nothing but bones, began to grow Sisi and blood, and soon returned to normal.
"Ah! That feels so good... There are a few ready-made prey nearby. I'll devour them, then refine your Shadow into a vengeful spirit. Who on this continent can stop me then! Hahahaha!"
With a wave of his hand, Zhongli Wu caused black energy to envelop him, and his figure rapidly approached the direction where Jiang Nannan and the others were located on the seabed.
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection plunged into the seabed and immediately detected his intention. With a surge of Soul Power, he quickly headed towards Jiang Nannan and the others.
A dark shadow moved rapidly across the seabed, now less than a hundred meters away from Jiang Nannan and the others.
Huo Yuhao immediately Spiritual Detection Sharing with Jiang Nannan as a reminder.
"Everyone, run for your lives! Now!"
Seeing the rapidly approaching dark figure in her mind, Jiang Nannan was terrified and immediately shouted.
As Xiao Xiao and the others watched the Shadow approaching in their direction, their hearts skipped a beat, and the image of Shrek exploding suddenly flooded their minds.
"Run! Split up!"
Xiao Xiao was the first to react. Regardless of whether the Shadow were targeting Shrek or not, they would inevitably be affected in this situation.
The group was immediately thrown into a panic, but fortunately, they had received professional training and immediately turned their Flying Soul Tool to maximum power, retreating in several directions.
Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen didn't react immediately. Feeling the instinctive sense of danger transmitted through their bodies, they subconsciously released their Martial Soul and became alert to their surroundings.
"Oh no!"
Xiao Xiao sensed something was wrong and immediately called out, " Dong'er, Qiu'er!"
Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er turned around in tacit agreement and rushed towards Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen.
Xiao Xiao turned around Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron flew out of thin air, directly covering the two of them. With a forceful flick, the three Soul -Soul Suppressing Cauldron immediately flew towards the direction from which Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er were coming.
Wang Dong'er caught Jing Ziyan in the cauldron, turned around, and activated the full power of her Soul Tool Thruster, flying out at full speed while Jing Ziyan also used her Flying Soul Tool to escape.
Wang Qiu'er used her Golden Dragon Spear to deflect the flying Soul Suppressing Cauldron and catch Ji Juechen inside.
With perfect coordination, Xiao Xiao delivered the third Soul Suppressing Cauldron to Wang Qiu'er's feet.
Wang Qiu'er exerted force with her waist, and the Golden Dragon Spear drew a circle in the air before striking the Soul Suppressing Cauldron with it.
The Soul Suppressing Cauldron carried Ji Juechen away like an arrow released from a bow.
Wang Qiu'er quickly retracted her spear, stomped her long legs hard, and her Flying Soul Tool suddenly opened, quickly following the flying Soul Suppressing Cauldron.
Xiao Xiao then retrieved the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and was about to activate the Flying Soul Tool behind her.
Suddenly, a strange black aura shot out of the sea and struck the Flying Soul Tool behind her.
Sizzle!
The Core Array of the Flying Soul Tool behind Xiao Xiao was instantly destroyed!
Xiao Xiao immediately threw away the Flying Soul Tool and prepared to activate the Soul Tool Thruster to leave this place of trouble.
But then a sinister voice rang in his ears.
"Little girl, you smell so good! Hehehe... Let's start with you."
