Chapter 2955 Evacuation_1
```
After extracting the intelligence, Xie Xie turned his gaze to En Ci with a solemn expression and said, "Saint Soul Douluo, did you hear that? Xue Yuntian has been killed by the Ghost Emperor!"
The latter nodded slightly, "Hmm, since that's the case, then we can only..."
Xie Xie interrupted, "If you've heard, then let us retreat quickly!"
En Ci was immediately stunned, "Retreat... Retreat?? Elder Xie, didn't you just say we were going to fight the Ghost Emperor?"
Xie Xie tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Ha? I'm no fool; fighting a god-like Ghost Emperor and expecting to survive? There'd be a ghost if we did. Enough talk, we'll discuss later, let's retreat now!!"
As his words fell, his body suddenly exploded, turning into pure Soul Power...
This scene left En Ci dumbfounded, "A... clone??"
Elder Xie had actually used a clone to scout with him!!
If he left, wouldn't it mean that he had to bear the consequences alone!!
As expected, the evil Soul Master who had come to his senses immediately released a soul skill...
An overwhelming attack filled with evil auras came straight at him...
En Ci clenched his teeth and coldly shouted, "Fourth Soul Skill, Divine Dragon Embodiment!!"
In an instant, the Holy Radiant Dragon let out a piercing dragon roar, its body erupted in a blinding golden light, and voluntarily enshrouded the former within...
And thus forcefully blocked all the attacks...
Although he had not been injured at all due to the absolute difference in strength, his Soul Power was rapidly depleting...
Out of nowhere, the Ghost Emperor's voice sounded, "It seems your comrade has abandoned you and fled!"
That blustering fellow had used a clone, and he hadn't identified it immediately!
Then this guy must be detained!!
Immediately after, with a thought, a surge of Divine Power emerged from within him, charging directly towards the Holy Radiant Dragon...
En Ci, in a passive defense, saw the rate at which his Soul Power was drained vastly accelerate...
Not only that, even the phantom of the Holy Radiant Dragon started to grow dim...
Obviously, if this continued, Divine Dragon Embodiment would be forcibly dispelled!!
With no other choice, he had to release another soul skill...
"Sixth Soul Skill, Radiance of Heaven and Earth!!"
The ground beneath began to churn wildly, and then, hundreds of white beams of light burst from the earth, shooting straight into the sky...
As they stretched to their limit, these beams of light connected with each other using Soul Power...
The initially faint white light was amplified by hundreds of times, immediately blinding all the evil Soul Masters, causing them to shield their eyes with their hands...
Seizing this moment, En Ci instantly moved to escape...
Unexpectedly, the figure of the Ghost Emperor appeared right behind him and said with an icy tone, "You've come all this way; do you still think of leaving?"
Sensing the danger, the former didn't hesitate at all, immediately turned around, and extended his arms in front of him to block...
As the Ghost Emperor struck with a palm, En Ci flew like a broken kite, crashing harshly against the wall...
Fresh blood with a foul taste spilled from his mouth...
After wiping it away, he fixed his gaze on the Ghost Emperor, thinking to himself, "So this is the power of the Ghost Emperor?"
If he hadn't executed the Fourth Soul Skill, which greatly enhanced his defense...
He feared that the blow just now would have been enough to gravely injure him!!
Ghost Emperor showed a contemptuous look, "What? Are you afraid now?? If so, I'll give you a chance, become an evil Soul Master!!"
As the possessor of the top-tier Beast Soul, the Holy Radiant Dragon, if he were to convert to an evil Soul Master, his strength would surge to an extent he himself would fear to underestimate!!
Who would have thought that En Ci decisively refused, "Don't even think about it, even if I die here, I will never become an evil Soul Master!!"
He was, after all, the State Preceptor of the Xingluo Empire, the headmaster of the Monster Academy, and would never willingly submit to the Ghost Emperor's enslavement...
```
Even if I live, I'll only become a laughing stock!!
For this reason, he'd rather fight to the death with the Ghost Emperor, even if it means sacrificing himself, to kill all the evil Soul Masters present!!
However, a voice echoed in his mind...
"Holy Dragon Douluo, I knew I wasn't wrong about you, but get ready, it's coming!"
En Ci frowned slightly, not quite understanding what this 'it's coming' meant...
But he understood soon enough...
Because intense spatial fluctuations appeared around him...
Even a pair of hands emerged, forcefully pulling him in, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared...
The Ghost Emperor also noticed what was happening, but it was clearly too late...
He immediately scolded, "What?? He escaped??"
He had thought that Xie Xie was too cowardly, only sending a clone, not expecting that the real body had been hiding in the shadows all along!
Now, to have En Ci rescued right before his very eyes!
Isn't this just pure mockery??
In a fit of rage, the Ghost Emperor turned and extended his hand towards the nearest evil Soul Master's head, gripping it...
It was as if the latter had received some command, their head began to shake violently, and then, like a watermelon, it exploded, instantly losing all signs of life...
"Xie Xie, next time, I will surely take your head!!"
...
After successfully escaping, Xie Xie kept gasping for air...
After catching his breath a little, he said to En Ci, "Holy Dragon Douluo, are you alright?"
Upon hearing this, the latter shook his head, "I'm alright; just now... was that your Spatial Soul Skill, Elder Xie?"
Initially, his vision was filled with nothingness, and the next time he blinked, he found himself outside the imperial palace!!
Such terrifying speed!!
Xie Xie didn't deny it, "Yes, but I'm sorry about what happened before, letting the clone accompany you, Holy Dragon Douluo, on the investigation!"
The reason he himself stayed hidden was the fear that the Ghost Emperor might possess some ability to counter Spatial Soul Skills!
If that had been the case, neither of them would have been able to escape!!
En Ci didn't mind, shaking his head, "It's alright, Elder Xie, you must have had your reasons, and besides, you saved my life!"
If not for him, there was no way he would have been able to escape from the Ghost Emperor's grasp!
Even if he released his Martial Soul True Body, it would have been the same!!
That Ghost Emperor's strength was unfathomable!
At least, he definitely wasn't someone he could face head-on!!
Xie Xie breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you understand, Holy Dragon Douluo. Let's head back now and inform everyone else of the situation!"
"Taking back the imperial palace is clearly impossible now; we must plan for the long term!!"
He had indeed feared that the other would dwell on the incident, but luckily, En Ci was indeed magnanimous, truly worthy of being the State Preceptor of the Xingluo Empire!
En Ci chuckled lightly, "Yes, Elder Xie, since you're fast, you go ahead, I'll be right there!"
Xie Xie hesitated for a moment, thinking there was some sense to it, and once again disappeared using the Spatial Soul Skill...
After confirming that he had completely left, En Ci couldn't help but "Pfft!" spit out a mouthful of fresh blood...
His complexion turned ugly as he muttered, "Damn it, I didn't expect the Ghost Emperor to be able to launch an attack at that speed, even landing a precise hit!!"
Carefully, he opened his shirt, revealing a deep-purple bruise on his abdomen...
