Seeing three Eight-Ring Soul Douluos appear at once, all with the strongest Soul Ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, and four black, the Evil Soul Master Soul Saints were so furious they wanted to curse.
On the way here, the Soul Douluo with the blood Martial Soul had told them that the Su Clan they were going to wipe out had only two Soul Douluos as its strongest fighters.
Two Soul Douluos, while their side still had a full three Soul Saints after deploying the concealment Soul Tool.
With the strength of Evil Soul Masters, three Soul Saints could serve as three Soul Douluos. Three Soul Douluos against two Soul Douluos, three against two-their side had an enormous advantage.
Yet the promised three against two had turned into three against three when the Su Clan produced three Soul Douluos at once.
It was no great problem for an Evil Soul Master Soul Saint to fight an ordinary Soul Douluo, but for one thing, the Su Clan's Soul Tools were rather abnormal, and for another, fighting Soul Douluos brought them no benefits.
The Soul Douluos' souls, blood, and every other cultivation resource had nothing to do with them. They would not get a share at all.
Fighting Soul Douluos without getting a share, shouldering the risks without any benefits-no one wanted that job.
But they had to do it even if they did not want to. The two Soul Douluo-level Evil Soul Masters behind them were watching. If they retreated in battle, they would probably become nourishment themselves.
Among Evil Soul Masters, not only enemies but their own people could also serve as nourishment. The Holy Spirit Cult's main principle was to waste nothing.
"Attack together!"
The Soul Saint with the highest Soul Power cultivation roared, and then his Seventh Soul Ring lit up. Facing Soul Douluos, he went all out from his very first move.
The other Evil Soul Masters followed immediately. Though their opponents would be difficult to fight, with two Soul Douluo-level Evil Soul Masters overseeing the battle, none of them thought their side would lose.
"Evil Soul Masters?"
Seeing the Martial Souls those people released, each more obvious than the last in its bloody aura and venomous resentment, not only the elders who had already become Soul Douluos but even some ordinary clan members recognized what they were.
There was no other reason. The bearing of Evil Soul Masters was far too distinctive. Especially after they released their Martial Souls, it was impossible not to recognize them.
"Third, Fourth, we're going all out!"
Without any hesitation, the Second Elder immediately called to the Third and Fourth Elders. Then they each placed a pill in their mouths. These were the Pulse-Protecting Pills the First Elder had refined recently.
With a Sixth-Rank Beast Flame, Titled Douluo cultivation, and ample medicinal ingredients supplied by the Snake-People Tribe, although the First Elder had never studied anything related to pill refining before, his soul power was strong enough, and he had plenty of medicinal ingredients to experiment with.
The First Elder's pill-refining skills rapidly passed through the first three grades, piling up all the way to the fourth grade.
Although the First Elder's success rate in refining fourth-grade pills was still quite limited, he could still manage to distribute fourth-grade Pulse-Protecting Pills to a select few elders.
And naturally, the clan's Soul Douluo elders were among those select few.
As the Pulse-Protecting Pills entered their stomachs, the first six Soul Rings on each of the three elders instantly shattered. A vast surge of power poured straight into their meridians, but that power, sufficient to tear apart a Soul Douluo's meridians, was easily held back by the Pulse-Protecting Pills.
Then the Level 9 Soul Tools on the three elders finished charging in an instant, and without another word, they charged toward the Evil Soul Masters.
In just one exchange, the three Evil Soul Master Soul Saints were killed on the spot. As for those Soul Emperor-level Evil Soul Masters, their deaths were even more wretched. Against the three elders, their only fate was slaughter.
"Is that something ordinary Soul Douluos can do?"
When the three Soul Saint-level Evil Soul Masters died in battle, the two Soul Douluos who had been watching from the rear could no longer sit still.
At the Soul Douluo level, it was not incomprehensible for Evil Soul Master Soul Saints to lose to them. But for Soul Douluos to kill Evil Soul Master Soul Saints instantly was absolutely not something ordinary Soul Douluos could accomplish.
"Damn it, what kind of intelligence did that bastard Third Prince give us?!"
The blood Martial Soul Soul Douluo cursed furiously. At that moment, he felt rather glad that the Myriad Soul Banner Soul Douluo had stopped him when he was about to leave.
Judging by the performance of these three Soul Douluo elders, if he had really ordered four of his Soul Saint subordinates to seal off the area and taken only one Soul Saint to fight these three Soul Douluos, he might well have capsized in a gutter.
After all, although an Evil Soul Master Soul Douluo could rival a Titled Douluo, he was ultimately not a Titled Douluo. And the three Soul Douluos opposite them had combat strength equivalent to at least level eighty-eight. Otherwise, they could not have killed Evil Soul Master Soul Saints so easily.
"Fifth Brother, thank you. You really are a good brother to me."
The blood Martial Soul Soul Douluo smiled and patted the Myriad Soul Banner Soul Douluo on the shoulder, without a trace of insincerity in his smile.
But as the blood Martial Soul Soul Douluo patted him, the corners of the Myriad Soul Banner Soul Douluo's mouth twitched.
He had said he would climb mountains of blades and plunge into seas of fire for his brothers, but that had only been talk. Three Soul Douluos whose combat strength was no lower than level eighty-eight-if they really fought and the other side saw no way to survive and insisted on dragging someone down with them, even he would face some risk of falling.
But although he cursed inwardly, he showed none of it on his face. Especially when he saw that his Third Brother was still beside him and thought of his strength, his heart gradually settled.
Three high-level Soul Douluos had formidable combat strength, but they were Evil Soul Master Soul Douluos, with combat strength sufficient to rival ordinary Titled Douluos.
One facing three would risk falling, but two facing three? All he could say was that the advantage remained theirs, and the situation was still under control.
In fact, because their opponents were not two Soul Douluos but three, after a brief moment of shock and lingering fear, once the two understood the situation and what they were facing, not only did their lingering fear vanish, they even grew excited.
There was no other reason. Not only was there an extra Soul Douluo's blood and soul to divide between them, but a Soul Douluo's greater strength also meant higher cultivation.
Three low-level Soul Douluos and three high-level Soul Douluos were resources of entirely different quality to Evil Soul Masters.
At the thought that the two of them could divide three high-level Soul Douluos between them, they could barely keep the smiles off their faces.
As for the Soul Saints and Soul Emperors who had died because they misjudged the enemy's combat strength, all they wanted to say was that those people had given their lives in loyal service to the Holy Cult, so their deaths had served a worthy purpose.
"This ends here. I truly never expected a mere Su Clan to have three Soul Douluos. What an unexpected delight."
The two stepped forward and appeared directly above the Su Clan. They did not launch a sneak attack on those three Soul Douluos, because sufficient strength brought sufficient confidence.
Ultimately, beyond their initial surprise and worry, all three powerful Soul Douluos could bring these two Evil Soul Master Soul Douluos was a pleasant surprise. Once they remembered that they still had a Soul Douluo teammate beside them, that sole fright naturally vanished.
"Kekeke, three Soul Douluos. We really must thank the Third Prince properly."
