After the initial terrifying explosion, the Mingde Hall Soul Engineers fought desperately, but the Body Sect had deployed nearly its entire force this time. A Titled Douluo had been sent to suppress each direction, beating the Rank Seven and Rank Eight Soul Engineers back step by step. For a time, casualties were countless.
Seeing that they had a firm grasp on the situation, the Body Sect began wreaking havoc. Mingde Hall's Soul Tools, each worth millions of Gold Soul Coins, were continuously reduced to metal fragments. The losses caused in mere moments could be measured in hundreds of millions.
Ning Tian hid motionlessly beneath an experiment table, maintaining a Level Eight Soul Guided Device barrier. One hand tightly gripped Wu Feng, while the other held a Storage Soul Tool.
If a Body Sect expert attacked them, Ning Tian would immediately detonate the Ninth-Tier Soul Tool Ling Bai had given her. The Golden Tortoise would then unleash its innate soul skill, Invincible Barrier, to protect them.
Fortunately, the situation outside had not yet reached its worst point, so Ning Tian did not need to reveal her final trump card. As the continent's foremost Soul Tool research center, Mingde Hall was far from easy prey. The Soul Engineers activated Mingde Hall's defense system.
Massive Soul Tools extended from the metal dome. They were spiral-shaped and over five meters long, resembling sharp hooked claws. Strands of blue-violet light coiled around them, and streaks of purple light shot from the claw tips, blasting toward the Body Sect experts.
The descending purple light struck the Body Sect members and instantly erupted with powerful currents. Mingde Hall's defense system possessed tracking effects and was specifically designed to pierce Soul Masters' protective Soul Power. The Body Sect experts could not block the lightning that penetrated their bodies.
