Chapter 172 Hao Tian Clan Takes Action_1

"Evil cannot prevail over good, hahaha, what a statement about evil not prevailing over good."

"Have you told the lie so often that you've begun to believe it yourself?"

Zhong Liwu laughed heartily, his eyes filled with scorn as he looked at Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe's face was as pale as paper, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and even staining the front of his shirt red.

"You are evil Soul Masters, so of course, you represent evil, while we from Shrek Academy and Soul Masters not affiliated with evil represent justice."

Despite his disheveled state, he remained defiant.

"Interesting, really interesting. Who decides what is just and what is evil, you?"

The corners of Zhong Liwu's mouth lifted in a mocking smile, "Evil Soul Master, evil Soul Master, isn't that the name you've labeled us with?

Have you ever thought, in our eyes, your actions don't align with our beliefs, and in our eyes, you are the evil ones, and we represent justice?"

"This..." Yan Shaozhe was taken aback, as if turned to stone.

Zhong Liwu's voice, laced with Soul Power, carried further, reaching the ears of many more.

One by one, the evil Soul Masters grew as excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

They shouted in unison that what the Sect Hierarch had said was right.

It was simply a profound truth.

Those from Shrek looked ashen-faced and extremely troubled.

In their view, evil Soul Masters were a bunch of lunatics—they had not expected such rational words from these madmen.

"We have never admitted to being evil, and likewise, we don't consider you to be just."

"Today we will destroy Shrek Academy, and history will be written by us. A hundred years, a thousand years later, everyone in Soul Land will know that there once was an organization called Shrek Academy of evil Soul Masters, eradicated by a righteous force known as the Holy Spirit Cult."

"The Holy Spirit Cult will be hailed as the hero who saved the continent!"

Zhong Liwu became more and more excited as he spoke, raising his hand high, "Charge, righteous followers of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Wow...

Zhong Liwu's actions infuriated Yan Shaozhe immensely.

Overcome with rage, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Zhong Liwu's words were indeed maddening.

"If the Second Sect Master does not take action now, Shrek City will be completely obliterated today."

"Or does the Second Sect Master really want to see evil triumph over good?"

Yan Shaozhe shouted into the void.

"Who is this Second Sect Master?"

Zhong Liwu was startled by Yan Shaozhe's words.

He looked around warily but saw no one appearing.

"Yan Shaozhe, what time is it already, and you still think a fabricated powerful figure can scare me?"

After a momentary lapse, Zhong Liwu refocused his attention on Yan Shaozhe, his lips curling into thick mockery, "No one can save you now, Shrek must be eradicated from this world today, as I say."

As he said this, he confidently pointed a thumbs-up at himself.

But then...

"Heh, the Holy Spirit Cult, what even is that? Nowadays, every Tom, Dick, and Harry pops up out of nowhere?"

As this voice sounded, a figure suddenly burst out from within Shrek City, slamming into Zhong Liwu like a cannonball.

"What speed!"

Zhong Liwu's expression changed drastically, and he quickly channeled all his strength into a defensive posture in front of him.

But, in the next moment, he was still sent flying.

Where Zhong Liwu stood just a moment earlier was now replaced by a stout, well-built man.

"Who are you?"

At this time, Zhong Liwu had already stopped hundreds of meters away.

He looked at the man who had blasted him away in shock, utterly astonished.

What kind of strength did that require?

In his memory, Shrek Academy had never produced such a powerful figure.

"Hehe, who I am is not something you need to concern yourself with. All you need to know is that as long as I'm here, you won't be able to strut around!"

With a contemptuous smile, Titan said, "If you don't want more people dying here, then get lost quickly. If I change my mind later, you won't even be able to leave if you want to."

Titan waved his hand impatiently.

"Your Excellency sure is arrogant, but I would advise you, it's best not to meddle in the affairs between the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy; otherwise, you're likely to get burned."

Zhong Liwu was not someone who scared easily.

He had seen his fair share of strong characters.

Even if the strength of the person before him was indeed formidable, it wasn't as if a few words would be enough to send him packing.

Besides, it's hard to fight against overwhelming numbers, and there were many powerful figures within the Holy Spirit Cult. Once they had dealt with the remnants of Shrek Academy, they would be able to come to his aid.

Surrounded and beaten by a dozen Titled Douluos, I refuse to believe you won't die! Zhong Liwu thought viciously to himself.

But...

His little scheme was still seen through by Titan.

"What are you dreaming about? You don't really think you still have a chance, do you?"

With a scoff, Titan said, "Since that's the case, then I'll thoroughly crush your hope."

As his words fell, he casually snapped his fingers.

Immediately, figures began to rise into the air from the direction of Shrek Academy, hovering in the sky.

Each one of their auras was incredibly powerful.

When their oppressive auras combined, they covered the sky like dark clouds.

Just by their momentum, it was clear they were not to be trifled with.

Each one was a powerful Titled Douluo!

"Sect Hierarch, their number of powerhouses is not small either,"

Feng Ling spoke as she quickly arrived beside Zhong Liwu.

"I see that."

Zhong Liwu replied in a heavy voice.

Within his sight, it wasn't just those few powerhouses. He also saw dozens of figures wearing flight soul tools slowly ascending into the air.

Phenomenal strength was evident on each person.

"The weakest among them are Soul Sage powerhouses!"

From a distance, Zhong Liwu could discern their cultivation levels.

This must be the last force of Shrek Academy... but...

Zhong Liwu glanced at the burly man in front of him and couldn't help but inwardly curse, "Damn it, if it weren't for him showing up, crushing Yan Shaozhe and the others would have surely shattered their confidence, they might not even have the courage to resist."

"However, given such an unforeseen event... We'll have to play the long game."

After a brief hesitation, Zhong Liwu clenched his teeth.

"Retreat!"

"Those of the Holy Spirit Cult, follow me and retreat!"

His voice quickly spread across the field.

The powerhouses of the Holy Spirit Cult didn't hesitate, abandoning their targets and flying towards the outskirts of Shrek City with all they had.

Zhong Liwu also noticed that their speed of retreat was much faster than their attack.

"Mader. These fellows each have their own schemes, hiding their cunning," he thought.

He decided that upon returning, he would surely give these fellows a good lesson.

...

"Second Sect Master, why aren't you pursuing them?"

As he watched the people of the Holy Spirit Cult flee, Yan Shaozhe was very anxious.

He hated these fellows to the bone!

He wished he could flay and debone them.
