Tang Wulin's gaze turned to the others. "What about everyone else's thoughts?"
Yuanen Yehui spoke with an indifferent expression, "I have no objections, as long as we're careful, there shouldn't be any problems!"
Moreover, if we want to quickly enhance our strength, we can't avoid battle!
Xu Lizhi also spoke earnestly, "Yeah, any evil Soul Master that can appear in Skysea City probably isn't very strong. We just need to make sure we don't give them a chance to fight back!"
Gu Yue pursed her thin lips, "Wulin, I also think it's worth a try. If the situation doesn't look right, we can still use Lizhi's explosive buns to cover our retreat!"
Seeing everyone so eager to try, Tang Wulin couldn't bring himself to refuse, and nodded, "Alright, but we must prioritize everyone's safety. If we meet an irresistible opponent, retreat immediately!"
Everyone immediately responded, "No problem!"
It was then that Gu Yue began to analyze, "I have the strongest perception and will lead the way, with Yue Zhengyu and Yuanen Yehui right behind me. Xie Xie will be responsible for protecting Xu Xiaoyan and Xu Lizhi in the middle, with Wulin and Xing Lan taking the rear!"
In this manner, even if they encountered a skirmish, the entire team could enter combat immediately!
With that said, the group advanced in this formation toward the direction from where the evil Soul Master's aura emanated...
...
In a dark corner!
One could see dozens of evil Soul Masters clad in black robes, their faces twisted in cruelty as they stared at the civilians in front of them, with their mouths gagged and bodies bound...
Fear was thick in their eyes, as if they had never imagined they would fall into the hands of evil Soul Masters.
One of the evil Soul Masters licked his blood-red lips and sneered, "Heh heh heh, who would have thought that the defenses of Skysea City would be so lax, allowing us to so easily capture so many civilians!"
Another impatient evil Soul Master said, "Quit the chatter, let's just kill them now. If the Lord of Dark Bell finds out we went hunting without permission, the consequences will be dire!"
"Yeah, the federation hasn't noticed yet, but they might soon arrive. Let's do this!"
"What's the hurry? These civilians aren't even Soul Masters. They can't possibly escape our grasp. Let's have some fun tormenting them first, and listen to their pitifully delightful screams!"
Behind a cover, it was none other than Gu Yue and the others, who had concealed their soul power fluctuations!
Yue Zhengyu inquired, "Wulin, what's the situation?"
Tang Wulin, whose pupils radiated with a purple glow, snapped back to reality and said solemnly, "This seems to be an evil Soul Masters' outpost, with dozens of them present, their general strength around the Soul King and Soul Emperor levels."
The number was much greater than he had expected!
Moreover, if they couldn't defeat them quickly, there was no telling if more evil Soul Masters would arrive!
Xie Xie's face lit up with joy, "Only Soul King and Soul Emperor levels? That's easy, just let me wipe them all out by myself!"
Yuanen Yehui grabbed his arm, "Xie Xie, don't be rash. You can't judge the strength of an evil Soul Master simply by their soul power rank!"
Even a Soul King level evil Soul Master could potentially inflict indelible damage on a Soul Douluo, let alone a Titled Douluo!
This was a lesson learned by generations of Shrek students!
Xu Xiaoyan's beautiful eyes suddenly sparkled, "Lizhi, can your explosive bun take out all of these evil Soul Masters in one go?"
Xu Lizhi paused, then pondered, "If it's released at close range, it should be possible!"
His explosive buns had the power equivalent to the full-strength strike of a Soul Douluo warrior!
Yue Zhengyu swallowed hard and said in astonishment, "Xiaoyan, are you thinking of..."
Xu Xiaoyan nodded, "Exactly, using my teleportation soul skill to send Lizhi's explosive bun over! We won't give those evil Soul Masters any time to react!"
Xie Xie smacked his leg, excitedly saying, "That's a great idea, it's risk-free, and it'll blow those bastards to bits!"
Ye Xinglan questioned, "It seems... there are no problems, but can this really be successful?"
She always felt that things weren't so simple!
Gu Yue gave a fair answer, "Xiaoyan's plan is worth a try. After all, if we engage them, and can't eliminate them quickly, we'll likely attract more evil Soul Masters to come!"
Tang Wulin also said, "I think this plan is good too, even if it fails, we won't lose anything!"
Xu Xiaoyan immediately stood up, "Then let's do it, Lizhi, get ready!"
Xu Lizhi tensed up and stood as well, very seriously responding, "Hmm!"
Finally being able to help everyone, he definitely couldn't let the plan fail because of himself!
As the command "Go!" rang out...
Xu Xiaoyan and Xu Lizhi simultaneously released their Martial Souls...
Almost instantly, they caught the attention of the evil Soul Masters...
They became alert, "Who's there??"
Before they could react, the sixth soul ring beneath Xu Lizhi lit up...
"I have a bomb!!"
To the naked eye, a red bun roughly half a meter in size, brimming with a technological sense, appeared in his hands...
He immediately tossed it into the air...
Watching for the right timing, Xu Xiaoyan's fifth soul ring also lit up...
"Fifth Soul Skill, Star Annihilation Divine Light."
As her Star Staff emitted a blinding light, the bomb in the air was enveloped in a bright glow...
The next second, under her control, the bomb teleported right in front of the group of evil Soul Masters...
The first evil Soul Master to notice exclaimed, "Oh no, get out of the way!!"
But it was already too late, and on the other side, Xu Lizhi, who was closely monitoring the situation, bellowed, "Explode!!"
"Bang!!"
The bomb exploded instantly, releasing its stored energy relentlessly...
Even more shocking was the searing flame mixed with the deafening sound of the explosion sweeping over, as if it would obliterate the entire space...
Seeing this, Xu Lizhi declared excitedly, "We did it!"
Xu Xiaoyan was also thrilled, "Yeah, judging from just now, those evil Soul Masters didn't have time to react, and they were all within the blast radius!"
However, Tang Wulin's cry of alarm pulled them back to reality...
"Something's not right!! Xiao Yan, Lizhi, quickly fall back!"
His Purple Demon Eyes, looking through the dense smoke, had actually... actually seen that person!!
Trusting him implicitly, Xu Lizhi and Xu Xiaoyan retracted their Martial Souls without hesitation and hid behind cover...
It was then that Yue Zhengyu finally asked, "Wulin, what happened?"
Tang Wulin with a grim expression said, "If I'm not mistaken, the attack just now was blocked by Nanali, one of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Lord of Dark Bell!"
That one, a fearsome powerhouse who reaches the Ultimate Douluo!
Even Teacher Wu had suffered torment at her hands, and if it weren't for the Immortal Herbs, he likely would have lost his life!
As expected, when the smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated, a delicate figure emerged...
It was indeed Nanali, who had effortlessly blocked the explosion and was unscathed!!
