Chapter 2600 The Battle Begins_1
As tensions mounted, Yue Zhengyu, who was positioned on higher ground, couldn't help but yawn and complained, "Wulin, why do we have to stay here? Wouldn't it be better to launch an attack with the main force?"
Yuanen Yehui, beside him, also had a dark expression as he said, "Yeah, if we're here and something happens during the battle, it won't be easy to provide support!"
Only Lan Muzi pursed his lips and looked at Tang Wulin, murmuring, "Wulin, Zheng Yu and Ye Hui's concerns are reasonable, but I believe you must have your own judgment. Can you tell us why?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin responded seriously, "Ye Hui, Zheng Yu, Elder Lan Muzi..."
Before he could finish, Lan Muzi interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Don't call me Elder, just call me Senior Brother, after all, I'm not that much older than you!"
Tang Wulin paused for a moment, then continued with the topic at hand...
"Actually, it's like this: because my spiritual power is stronger than that of an ordinary Soul Master, I can clearly sense the presence of no less than ten Hyper Douluos within the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"For this reason, we must hold our position here, to avoid as much as possible their joining the battle at the rear!"
Yue Zhengyu's eyes widened in disbelief, "What? Ten Hyper Douluos? How is that possible? Haven't all four of the Dark Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult fallen?"
Yuanen Yehui frowned, "Wulin, could you have sensed it wrong? The Holy Spirit Cult has taken a heavy hit; how could they still have so many powerful Evil Soul Masters?!"
However, Tang Wulin denied it with certainty, "No, there's no mistake. These Evil Soul Masters aren't even hiding their auras!!"
Lan Muzi calmed down and pondered, "Since Wulin is so sure, the Holy Spirit Cult must indeed have that many powerful Evil Soul Masters!"
"If this doesn't include the Ghost Emperor, the Ming Emperor, and that Demon Emperor, then it's extremely terrifying!"
He also marveled at how formidable Tang Wulin's spiritual power was, realizing that even he had not detected it!
Yue Zhengyu also reined in his emotions, suggesting, "Since there are so many powerful Evil Soul Masters, shouldn't we inform the federation and other forces of this news?"
Yuanen Yehui also agreed, "Yeah, if they send more strong fighters, the chances of winning this battle will be higher!"
Tang Wulin was about to say something but then swallowed his words...
"No, it's too late now. The federation's troops have already begun moving towards the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, and the battle is about to start!!"
Yue Zhengyu and the others also released their spiritual power and indeed discovered that a large number of Federation Members were approaching the Holy Spirit Cult...
Lan Muzi spoke coldly, "It seems, as Wulin said, we're too late to send back the intel now. Prepare for battle!!"
...
Outside the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters!
A dense crowd of Evil Soul Masters gathered together, each emitting a strong aura of evil...
"Hahaha, those foolish fools really dare to intrude on our Holy Spirit Cult territory; they're simply seeking death!"
"That's right, even though our Holy Spirit Cult has lost the four Dark Heavenly Kings, we have gained more than ten protectors. We have nothing to fear from them!!"
"Great, today we can finally kill to our heart's content and show those fools the terror of us Evil Soul Masters!!"
"Moreover, I heard that the Sect Hierarch has long laid a Heaven and Earth Net around this area; no one will be able to escape!!"
"Shhh... stop the chatter, haven't you noticed the Vice Sect Hierarch hasn't spoken yet?"
Leading them all was Halosa, who observed the situation ahead with his emotionless, cold eyes...
Suddenly, as if sensing something, his expression finally changed...
He thought to himself, "They've come? The federation's troops!!"
Then, he turned to all the Evil Soul Masters present and commanded, "The federation's troops are nearing; you may use whatever methods you like, with one goal: to slay all those fools!!"
"Do you all understand?"
The Evil Soul Masters were instantly excited, seemingly already anticipating the bloody scene to come...
"Understood!"
In past battles, these Evil Soul Masters' soul skills were too malevolent, and they had to restrict themselves to avoid harming their allies!
But now, they had no such worries!
Even if they devoured their comrades, as long as they could kill those humans from the Federation, it would be worth it!!
The Ming Emperor immediately released his Martial Soul, holding a Divine Artifact in his hand, and with a chilling tone he said, "Then, let the battle begin!!"
In an instant, the Evil Soul Masters rushed forward like a swarm of locusts, charging ahead without any restraint...
...
The Federation Member responsible for scouting sensed the immense oppressive force coming from ahead...
He quickly reported to the commanding officer present, "Report, Commander, a large number of Evil Soul Masters' auras have been detected ahead, it must be the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters mobilizing!!"
The lead Commander sneered upon hearing this, "They're just some struggling wretches, they're nothing to worry about!!"
"All Federation Members, on my command, charge the soul weapons immediately, and spare not a single Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master!!"
This time, the Federation had brought its big guns, and with just the quantity of Evil Soul Masters, the Holy Spirit Cult stood no chance of gaining the upper hand!!
The equally imposing Federation Members responded in strong and clear voices, "Yes, sir!!"
And so, the two forces gradually approached each other...
The moment they came into each other's view, the battle was ignited...
In just a few seconds, the Federation's side unleashed a salvo of Soul cannonballs, bombarding the dense mass of Evil Soul Masters ahead as if they cost nothing...
The thunderous explosions echoed without end, causing the space itself to tremble...
However, learning from the previous battles, the Evil Soul Masters did not use soul skills or endure with their bodies...
Instead, they activated high-level Defensive Soul Guidance Devices, intercepting all the cannonballs and reducing casualties to the minimum...
After that, they crazily closed the distance with the Federation's troops, engaged in close-quarters combat...
Limbs, heads, blood, these had become common sights strewn throughout the space...
For a time, it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe, as everyone was plunged into chaotic slaughter...
Meanwhile, the disciples of the Tang Sect and the other Great Sects, who had been hiding on both sides of the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, finally began to act!
Zhao Chong shouted, "Everyone, follow my command and outflank these damned Evil Soul Masters from behind!!"
They had originally planned to use soul weapons for long-distance kills, but the current mix of Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters and Federation Members could lead to frequent cases of friendly fire...
Therefore, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and encircle from the rear, creating a pincer attack that put the Holy Spirit Cult in a dilemma...
