Gazing at the Demon Emperor standing before them, eyes void of spirit…
Long Yeyue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "Such terrifying pressure, this woman, could she possibly be…"
She had only ever felt such fearsome pressure emanating from Yun Ming…
Cai Yue'er said solemnly, "Mm, if I'm not guessing wrong, she should be the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult! However, her state seems a bit off, as if she's being controlled by someone!"
Lan Muzi spoke coldly, "The mighty Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult, being controlled, how ridiculous!"
Turbid World reminded them, "No matter what, everyone be careful. Since she's being controlled, she probably won't hold back when fighting."
Feng Wu Yu's eyes flickered with several traces of hatred, "No matter what, let's take her down now!"
As soon as the words fell, he charged towards the Demon Emperor and threw a punch straight at her face…
Feeling the danger, the Demon Emperor almost instinctively raised her hand to block the attack…
She merely took a few light steps back and was not injured in the slightest…
Feng Wu Yu frowned, "Hmph, then how about this! Fourth Soul Skill, Flaming Dragon Fury!"
Despite rarely taking action, how could his strength be weak, being known as one of the Holy Twin Dragons, just like Turbid World?
The massive dragon that had flames sprouting all over its body behind him became faintly visible, rapidly opening its massive maw and spewing flames that could burn everything to ashes towards the expanse ahead…
However, when the flames enveloped the Demon Emperor, she calmly extended her right hand…
The next second, the Soul Power from within her burst forth instantly, forming a sturdy protective barrier around her…
No matter how high the temperature of the flames was, they could not advance an inch…
Turbid World exclaimed in shock, "This… how is that possible, she didn't even use a soul skill, but her Soul Power was strong enough to block Feng Wu Yu's Fourth Soul Skill!"
Cai Yue'er pursed her lips, "She truly lives up to the title of Demon Emperor from the Holy Spirit Cult, even while being controlled, her strength is still so horrifying!"
Long Yeyue glanced at them, "Let's not just stand by and watch, even if she is the Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult, she won't be able to withstand our combined assaults!"
After all, they were all top contenders on the Continent, with their forces combined, not even Yun Ming could be their match!
Let alone this Demon Emperor who was slightly inferior to the latter!
"First Soul Skill, Tri-Yang Kaitai!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Bright Sky Shatterer!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Gathering of the Yin Xun!"
…
Without any hesitation, everyone released their soul skills one after another, launching a joint attack on the Demon Emperor from every direction…
But as the frequency of their attacks sped up, and all were easily blocked by her, they gradually realized something was amiss…
Cai Yue'er quickly stepped back a few paces and gritted her teeth, "Something's not right… Why does this Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult only use pure Soul Power to dissolve our moves? Why not use a soul skill?"
Turbid World added, "Perhaps… her subconscious believes that to deal with us, she doesn't even need to release her Martial Soul!"
Although it wasn't certain, that didn't mean it wasn't possible!
Lan Muzi clenched the Yang Wood Saber tightly and spoke coldly, "Damn it… as Elders of Sea God's Pavilion, to be looked down upon like this!"
Long Yeyue's beautiful eyes flickered with thought, not knowing what she was considering…
Having clashed with Yun Ming countless times, she was very clear about his strength!
Even he wouldn't be able to block her attacks with just Soul Power, yet the Demon Emperor before her had done just that, and under the circumstances of one against several…
Perhaps, from the very beginning when Yun Ming sensed her, she had already intentionally concealed her true strength…
With this thought, she took a deep breath, "Elders, you go ahead and deal with those evil Soul Masters lurking here, leave this Demon Emperor to me to hold off."
Since all of them together could not take down this Demon Emperor, there was no need to waste their efforts on her!
The other Elders, upon hearing this, hesitated no longer and immediately shifted their focus away from the other evil Soul Masters…
Seeing this, the Demon Emperor wanted to give chase but was intercepted by Long Yeyue before he could…
She coldly shouted, "Before you defeat me, don't even think about taking half a step forward!"
…
Inside the Xingluo Empire's imperial palace!
"Wulin, watch out!!"
Xie Xie saw a cannonball heading towards Tang Wulin and immediately used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to slice it in two with his Light Dragon Blade, right before it exploded…
Reacting to the situation, Tang Wulin, looking at the fallen soul cannonball on the ground, said with lingering fear, "Xie Xie, thanks a lot!"
If he had been hit by that cannonball just now, he might not have been seriously injured, but it certainly would not have been pleasant!
Xie Xie nodded and said displeased, "Hmm, are the Xingluo Empire's soldiers blind? How could they have bombed our location!"
Gu Yue pursed her thin lips, "There's no helping it, the situation is so chaotic now, collateral damage is inevitable!"
"Hmm? Where are Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi? Where did those two run off to?"
Wu Siduo suddenly spoke out, "Over there..."
Plainly visible, Ye Xinglan was battling an evil Soul Master, while Xu Lizhi was following behind her like a shadow…
The former coldly shouted, "Third Soul Skill, Sword Starfall!"
This move directly reaped the evil Soul Master before her…
But the next second, she saw Xu Lizhi still following her and frowned, "Lizhi, quickly retreat to everyone's side, don't forget you're a support-class Soul Master!"
These evil Soul Masters would show no mercy, and a single mistake could very well cost him his life!
Xu Lizhi shook his head, speaking earnestly, "No… I must stay with Sister Xinglan… If you run out of Soul Power, I can be there to help you in an instant…"
He did not want to flee any longer. Although he was a support-class Soul Master, he could certainly be of help to Sister Xinglan!
Hearing his words, Ye Xinglan was stunned and said tenderly, "You fool…"
Before she could finish, a chill rose behind her. She immediately grabbed Xu Lizhi's wrist and the two of them rolled to the side…
At the same time, the spot where they had just been was struck by a black Fireball, corroding the ground and leaving behind a dense black aura…
Coming back to his senses, Xu Lizhi's pupils suddenly constricted…
"Just now, if Sister Xinglan hadn't pulled me away… I might have… died!"
It was his first time being so close to death!
Seeing his expression, Ye Xinglan urgently asked, "Lizhi, are you alright?"
Xu Lizhi shook his head, "Sister Xinglan, I'm fine!"
Just then, Tang Wulin and the others had also arrived…
Xie Xie said irritably, "I'm saying you guys are really unfair, we're supposed to be a team, after all!"
Xu Xiaoyan nodded, "Exactly... They're just evil Soul Masters! As long as we stick together, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
Gu Yue said indifferently, "The situation is a bit chaotic right now, everyone rally around Xu Lizhi to reduce the chance of getting ambushed!"
Tang Wulin smiled wryly, "Lizhi, looks like we'll need you to make more buns, this is going to be a sustained battle!"
Surrounded by everyone, Xu Lizhi's fears were dispelled by an invisible sense of security…
"Got it!!"
