However, it was not over yet. The enormous skull seemed to know that its attack had missed, and immediately unleashed green flames from every direction, sweeping towards its targets…
Huang Si's pupils shrank as his fourth soul ring suddenly lit up. A massive golden shield appeared in front of him, rapidly extending phantoms outward to protect everyone within…
The green flames, upon contact, were kept at bay outside…
While enduring the scorching of the green flames, Zi Yi let out an angry roar, and only then did everyone see that his Martial Soul was a purple eagle!
"Sixth soul skill, Divine Eagle Sky Dance!"
The Ziyu Divine Eagle's keen gaze swept across its surroundings, rapidly flapping its wings…
In an instant, a violent purple storm burst forth, furiously assaulting the enemies within range with a dual spiritual and physical attack!
However, when it collided with the flames near the skull, it only managed to halt them!
This scene caused Zi Yi's eyelids to twitch, secretly thinking, "The strength of this secretive enemy is stronger than I imagined!"
His sixth soul skill couldn't even inflict a scratch!
From this, it was clear that they were not opponents on the same level!
Having no other choice, he said, "The opponent is strong. Let's attack together and find its weakness!"
The others, aware of the gravity of the situation, nodded in agreement, "Understood!"
With that said, they launched attacks from all directions towards the skull ahead, with barely any effect, of course!
Tang Wulin alone stood in place, his eyes fixed firmly on the gigantic skull…
After unleashing his Purple Demon Eyes, he could faintly make out countless threads of energy continuously flowing into the skull!
He coolly analyzed, "This skull appears to be absorbing some kind of energy! If we use a piercing single-point attack, perhaps we can penetrate the enemy's defense and cause its internal power to leak out!"
Seeing Zi Yi still lost in thought, he frowned and said, "Huang San, what are you waiting for?"
Tang Wulin did not answer, instead, under the augmentation of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, released another resounding dragon roar…
Without hesitance, he extended his right hand, and a Golden Dragon Spear shimmering with golden light miraculously appeared in his palm!
After gripping it tightly, he aimed at the skull's forehead and hurled it with force…
The Golden Dragon Spear, like lightning, struck its target precisely…
At this sight, Zi Yi's face showed a hint of displeasure…
This Huang San, having just luckily broken out of the virtual realm, now acts so arrogantly!
Even if he himself couldn't breach the skull's defense, how could Huang San possibly…
But before he could finish the thought, his eyes widened in shock…
The others, Yellow-class Fighters like him, were equally shocked, their eyes fixed incredulously on the Golden Dragon Spear embedded in the skull!
All of them were Yellow-class Fighters, yet the gap was so huge!
Tang Wulin didn't miss this opportunity. With a burst of terrifying speed, he leaped into the air and viciously kicked the end of the Golden Dragon Spear…
This sudden surge of force caused the Golden Dragon Spear to instantly tear through the skull, which exploded like a balloon…
Ignoring the astonishment on everyone's faces, Tang Wulin urgently said, "Let's get out of here fast. That evil Soul Master hiding in the shadows might have other tricks up their sleeve!"
He had managed to handle this skull with the piercing attribute of the Golden Dragon Spear, but next time, they might not be so lucky!
Zi Yi, with a complex look, glanced at him and ordered, "Retreat!"
Afterwards, until they left the abandoned factory, they encountered no further interference from the evil Soul Master or any strange creatures…
Inside the abandoned factory!
A middle-aged man in his forties looked at his black Magic Wand, which had splintered, and said with a sullen face, "Just a Soul King and yet he managed to shatter my Devouring Demon Puppet with one strike. It's really unexpected!"
"Having let those from the Tang Sect escape, I'm afraid more Tang Sect powerhouses will come here. We can't stay in this place any longer!"
"Yes!"
The one who replied to him was not a living person, but rather something like the skull that Tang Wulin had defeated earlier, only much smaller in size!
…
The group who escaped on the Tang Sect soul car soared into the sky!
Huang Yi, with shining eyes, said, "Huang San, that move you used earlier was simply too cool! You shattered the skull with a single hit!"
Huang Er also agreed and said, "Yeah! Indeed, it was very powerful, even Zi Yi couldn't break through its defense!"
Tang Wulin scratched his head and modestly said, "It was just luck, merely luck."
Huang Si said coldly, "There's no need to be modest, if it weren't for you, we might have been trapped in the abandoned factory forever!"
Following that, Tang Wulin seemed to think of something and looked at Zi Yi, "Sorry, Zi Yi, it wasn't that I didn't hear you back then, but I was thinking about how to break the skull!"
That sentence, coupled with his sincere gaze, made the slight displeasure in Zi Yi's heart fade quietly away!
After all, he still held a considerable grudge regarding Tang Wulin's previous choice to ignore him!
Then, calmly, he said, "We owe our survival to you, there's no need for apologies!"
After a pause, he asked out of curiosity, "But... how did you find the skull's weakness?"
Tang Wulin smiled slightly, "Actually, it's quite simple. I noticed that the skull seemed to be absorbing the resentment from the dead people in the abandoned factory, and I thought it was like a balloon filled with a lot of gas - if I focused the attack on a single point, maybe I could break it!"
Zi Yi said in amazement, "So, that blow you struck earlier wasn't a sure thing!"
Tang Wulin smiled a little embarrassedly, "Heh heh, that's right!"
Zi Yi then showed a contemplative expression...
It turned out to be a lucky strike that took out that skull; his mind balanced a little...
…
Tang Sect!
The messenger, a Yellow-class Fighter, respectfully said to Guo Xiaoxu, who was wearing a red mask, "Hall Master, the disciples from the Battle Soul Hall who were sent to scout the abandoned factory have sent back a message, confirming the presence of an evil Soul Master. The enemy has at least the strength of the Soul Douluo level, but their exact numbers are unknown!"
Guo Xiaoxu said in surprise, "Oh? There really were people lurking inside the abandoned factory!"
The Yellow-class Fighter mustered his courage and asked, "Hall Master, what should we do?"
After some thought, Guo Xiaoxu said in a deep voice, "Immediately dispatch two Black Rank Fighters from the Soul Guidance Hall to provide support! We must eradicate them all!"
If Tang Wulin and the others were able to escape successfully, this indicated that the enemy's power wasn't that formidable, two Black Rank Fighters would be more than sufficient!
Of course, the most important thing was that the Tang Sect was currently collaborating with the War God Hall in investigating the soul cannonballs, so they could not spare many people!
The Yellow-class Fighter bowed slightly with his fist cupped. "Yes, Hall Master Guo!"
