Chapter 2669: Blockade_1
All the Soul Masters suddenly snapped to their senses...
These lights were not the dawn of victory but rather would rob them of their lives!
Everyone began fleeing frantically in all directions, hoping to escape this place...
But it was all in vain!!
"What... what is going on? These lights, they're actually siphoning our blood. Everyone, run!!"
"I... I can't move. What in the world is this, aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!"
"Somebody save me, I don't want to die, don't want to die! I don't want to dieeee!!"
In an instant, the entire scene became unbearably bloody. Any Soul Master caught in the light would turn into pure blood, which flowed into somewhere...
Zhao Chong, who was the first to recover his wits, saw the eerie light heading straight for him and shouted, "Not good, everyone retreat!!"
However, even if the people nearby realized what was happening, it was already too late to escape!
In a moment of desperation, a Soul Ring beneath his feet began to shimmer...
"Boom!!"
A terrifying golden shock wave erupted from him, sweeping outwards in all directions, blasting Guo Xiaoxu and the others away and out of the area of coverage...
But he himself was forced to bathe in the light...
Knowing that death was imminent, he stopped struggling and looked at Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu, who had fallen to the ground, with complicated eyes, "Tang... Tang Sect is now in your hands!"
As he spoke, his body began to rot and quickly turned to blood, rising into the air...
Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu, who had just struggled to their feet, were completely dumbfounded, boiling with rage...
"Zhao... Hall Master Zhao, to save us, he... he sacrificed himself!"
"Damn it! Curse the Holy Spirit Cult! Today, you shall be eradicated!"
Seeing this, other strong individuals rushed to console them, "Hall Master Guo, Hall Master Liang, please calm down. This bizarre light can even instantly kill a Hyper Douluo; do not sacrifice yourselves in vain!"
"Yes, Hall Master Zhao paid the price with his life so that we could live. We absolutely cannot let ourselves die like this!"
"We can only take revenge on the remaining scum of the Holy Spirit Cult if we survive!!"
These words brought Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu back to their senses...
That's right, Zhao Chong was dead, but they were here to completely eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult!
How could they waste their lives in vain?
Taking a deep breath, Guo Xiaoxu said, "You're right. We can't let Hall Master Zhao die in vain. Everyone, follow me, let's use our Soul Power to create a Protective Barrier, or else we'll all die!!"
Everyone nodded, then simultaneously released their Soul Power to construct a very sturdy barrier around them, barely keeping the light at bay...
Compared to them, Tang Wulin raised the Sea God's Trident in his hand, unleashing the Sea God's Light!
As an even more sacred light descended, it easily neutralized the light within their area...
The Soul Masters within the range of the Sea God's Light finally breathed a sigh of relief...
"Thank goodness Hall Master Tang is here. Otherwise, we'd have instantly turned into a pool of blood!"
"But using this technique must require a lot of soul power to maintain, right? Hall Master Tang might not be able to hold on for long!!"
"Yeah, after all, no one knows when these lights will disappear!!"
"The Holy Spirit Cult is truly devious; who knows what other tricks they have up their sleeves!!"
Tang Wulin glanced at them and reminded, "Everyone, just stay within the Sea God's Light; it should last for a while!"
One of the Soul Masters retorted, "And what about you, Hall Master Tang? Could it be...?"
The former nodded seriously, "Yes, I have an even more important mission, which is to defeat the Holy Spirit Cult's master!"
Now, the only person who could resist the eerie light with his own strength was himself, with the Sea God's Trident!
...
The situation on the battlefield was also reported back to the federation in no time...
The member responsible for reporting bowed deeply, saying in an extremely urgent tone, "Rep...report to the council members, just moments ago, a dramatic change occurred on the battlefield, the entire space was separated by an invisible force, and neither soul skills nor soul-guided weapons can break through!"
The gathered politicians' expressions changed upon hearing this...
Not long before, the information they received was that the Holy Spirit Cult was about to be annihilated!!
The Chairman spoke first, "What? The battlefield is isolated by an invisible barrier? Doesn't that mean, no one can enter or escape?"
The member nodded in affirmation, then added, "Not only that, but beams of light keep falling from the sky, and any Soul Masters caught in them turn into puddles of blood."
"A rough estimate is that about sixty to seventy percent of Soul Masters have fallen because of this!!"
One of the politicians clenched his fists in anger, cursing, "Damn Holy Spirit Cult, they definitely premeditated this. I wondered why they didn't leave after their position was exposed; turns out they wanted to lure Soul Masters from all major powers into their trap!"
Another politician spoke calmly, "Since the space is isolated, we are unable to provide assistance. Now, it is up to the powerhouses of the various major powers!"
"Such a sinister scheme must be the Ghost Emperor's doing, but... what is this 'light' that turns the illuminated Soul Masters into blood!"
"That's unclear, but to have such power, it definitely isn't simple!"
"Hmph, in my opinion, the Ghost Emperor also knew that the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters could not possibly be the match of our several major powers. Therefore, their intent must be to kill all the Soul Masters and use their blood to increase their chances of victory!"
"Hiss... When you put it like that, it's indeed quite possible. To obtain great power, the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters would do all kinds of insane things!"
Following that, all eyes turned towards the Chairman...
It was as though they were asking what should be done next?
If things were indeed as they discussed, after the breakthrough, the strength of the Ghost Emperor and other Holy Spirit Cult powerhouses would certainly reach an extremely terrifying level!
By that time, not even a God-Slaying soul-guided missile may be able to kill them!!
The Chairman also felt heavy-hearted, unsure of what to do...
But soon, his gaze became determined...
"We should have faith in the members of the federation and the disciples of the various major powers, who are fighting on the battlefield!"
"We cannot lose our confidence in victory over this difficulty. Relay my command, to mobilize a portion of the federation's powerhouses to the battlefield immediately, to seal off the surroundings and wait for the barrier to break!"
He did not want to see Soul Land turn into an object within the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters' grasp!
Otherwise, what would it mean to be the Chairman of the Federation!
And it would fall short of the trust of the Vice-Chairman, Qiangu Qingfeng!
Upon receiving the order, the member stood up, respectfully saying, "Yes, Chairman, I will mobilize the troops immediately!"
