Tang San Makes His Move
"Whoosh..."
Hu Liena's Soul Power was already mostly depleted, but she was completely helpless. Each of the enormous Mammon was extremely difficult to kill completely. Ordinary soldiers' arrows and crossbow bolts were ineffective against them; only Soul Master legion could do so. However, there were simply too many of them. There were almost no ordinary Death Kui left below the city; they were all endless streams of Mammon. Meanwhile, Tang San and the others, floating in the distance, were waiting patiently, like spectators, for their Soul Power to be exhausted.
Sixth Soul Skill: Kite Sparrow Scorching Shadow!
In the sky, a Fire Sparrow entirely formed of flames swooped down upon the endless Mammon formation below the city. Hu Liena and the others recognized the master of this move. Seeing the Ling Yuan Douluo approaching on flames, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But the next moment, their faces were filled with gloom. The addition of a Titled Douluo might change the outcome of the battle, but right now, it wasn't just the endless Mammon; Tang San and the Holy Spirit Cult were still watching them with predatory eyes in the distance.
"Holy Maiden Holiness, I am late..."
After relieving the city's defensive woes with a single strike, Ling Yuan Douluo unleashed several more area-of-effect fire Soul Skill before gracefully landing on the city wall and kneeling in respect before Hu Liena.
"You're finally back! These hideous monsters are so resistant to physical attacks, your flames will come in handy now!"
Mingdu Titled Douluo, and Ling Yuan Douluo's level was even lower than his, her attacks were clearly much more effective against these monsters created by the Holy Spirit Cult. Yue Guan breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't dared to go all out, as he was the only Titled Douluo in the city, and the real high-end combat power on the other side hadn't even entered the fray yet. He had to be wary of their potential surprise attacks. Now, Ling Yuan Douluo's return gave him a glimmer of hope.
"Third Brother, another Titled Douluo is coming from the other side, and he's using fire, hehe..."
After being defeated by Huo Wu, Ma Hongjun survived thanks to the Phoenix Martial Soul's Nirvana ability, and his strength increased significantly. However, for some reason, he now harbors a natural hostility towards any fire-attribute Soul Master. Perhaps it's because he was Huo Wu by Huo Wu, who was also a fire-attribute Soul Master. Seeing Soul Master of the same attribute reminds him of the woman who not only defeated him but also left a deep shadow in his heart. This has now become his inner demon.
"You're still so beautiful... I really want to cherish you..."
Dai Mubai watched Ma Hongjun lick his lips, and although he found it somewhat lewd and perverted, he still said, "Don't worry, your Third Brother is now a genuine Titled Douluo. I'll help you catch this woman and let you relieve your pent-up desire, haha!"
Tang San was somewhat displeased with their obvious underestimation of their opponent, but then he thought that the other side only had two Titled Douluo, and with his current strength, he could easily defeat them both at the same time. Moreover, even if the other side had some hidden strength, the Holy Spirit Cult had even stronger reinforcements, so there was nothing to worry about.
Seventh Soul Skill: Heavenly Fox Avatar!
Seventh Soul Skill: Tool Soul True Body
Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!
Seeing Hu Liena and the others in the city suddenly unleash their Martial Soul Avatar, without the previous intention of conserving their Soul Power, Tang San and the others were somewhat puzzled.
"Aren't they afraid we'll take advantage of the chaos and launch a sneak attack while they're wasting their Soul Power clearing out those grunts?"
Tang San looked at the clueless Ma Hongjun, a hint of contempt and disgust rising in his heart, but on the surface he still explained gently, "This is a calculated move. Their goal is defense, to prevent us from joining the Heaven Dou Empire's army. Every second they can hold out is precious. The situation at Jialing Pass is unpredictable. Perhaps for them, even delaying us for a second is a good thing. Now they've unleashed their full power, clearing out the Death Kui and Mammon currently attacking the city. Although they've wasted their Soul Power, it has eased our offensive. These things the Holy Spirit Cult has created are indeed very useful, but Mammon's movement speed is too slow. Once this batch of Mammon is cleared out, the next Mammon will take half an hour to pass by us. While the Death Kui Death Kui are fast, ordinary soldiers and Soul Master legions can defend against them alone. But for Titled Douluo, half an hour is more than enough time for them to recover their Soul Power..."
"In other words, they're openly forcing us into battle. If we don't fight, they can use this time to recover their Soul Power; if we do fight, we'll fall into their trap. But whether we fight or not, it's beneficial for them..."
Dai Mubai, being of royal birth, understood perfectly after Tang San's brief explanation. "Oh... I get it. In that case, Third Brother, let's go! Boss Dai, let's deal with that woman who uses fire together. Third Brother, that sissy is yours. Little Ao, get the sausages ready!"
Ma Hongjun's strength has greatly increased. In terms of Soul Power Level, he has reached the level of Soul Douluo of level 85, only one level lower than Dai Mubai. Moreover, with Oscar's sausage assistance, he is confident that he can defeat that Titled Douluo who uses fire. However, as the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy, so to be on the safe side, he still called on Dai Mubai.
"Sure, I can't wait to kill Yu Tianshuang's woman too. Just thinking about the look on Yu Tianshuang's sour face makes me happy, haha!"
After receiving the sausages Oscar had prepared, the group flew directly towards Hu Liena and the others. Facing the concentrated attack of nearly a thousand Soul Master on the city wall, Tang San simply kicked out a giant axe in mid-air, neutralizing the attack and continuing his momentum towards the city wall.
Eighth Soul Skill: Heavenly Fox Bright Mirror!
Hu Liena, in her Heavenly Fox Avatar, suddenly kicked out with her pink eyes, and a huge mirror, seemingly real yet illusory, appeared out of thin air. The giant axe that had shattered the combined attack of a thousand-meter-tall Soul Master silently disappeared into the mirror.
This scene surprised Tang San greatly. The one who blocked his attack was not the effeminate Chrysanthemum Douluo, but Hu Liena, whom they had completely disregarded. This made Tang San feel somewhat interested. Originally, he thought that Hu Liena was not with Xie Yue and could not unleash that Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so he did not take her seriously at all. But now it seems that her strength should not be underestimated.
"Long time no see, Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo. There's no need to glare at me like that. It seems you're very eager to avenge Senior Ghost Douluo..."
