Upon hearing this, everyone ceased their conversation and released their Martial Souls...
Their Soul Rings lit up beneath their feet, unleashing area-of-effect soul skills...
"Fourth Soul Skill, Sword Starfall!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Light and Shadow Twin Dragon Drill!"
"Eighth Soul Skill..."
"Boom!"
At the same time, the Sea God's Light also shattered to pieces, and the protective light barrier covering everyone disappeared as a sky full of Blood Needles came flying towards them...
Thus, the attacks from both sides struck each other, and the situation fell into a deadlock...
Gulping for air, Tang Wulin said to Xie Xie, "Xie Xie, we must interrupt that guy's move, or else we'll keep on being passive and just waste our Soul Power!"
Xie Xie instantly understood and nodded, "Got it!"
The next second, his entire being turned into a streak of light, eliminating all the Blood Needles in front of him, and thrusting directly towards the Ghost Emperor's head...
Seeing this, the Ghost Emperor, with unruffled composure, scornfully said, "Hmph, so you're just a bit faster, you really think you can get close to me?"
Upon speaking, he was forced to stop his Blood Needle assault and stretched out his palm towards Xie Xie, who was less than two meters away from him...
With a sudden clench...
The pressure in the surrounding space surged, and a powerful suction force erupted from him...
Xie Xie, suspended in mid-air, felt his body become exceedingly heavy, and under the powerful suction, he shook as he was pulled towards the former...
A shock went through his heart, "Not good!"
If the Ghost Emperor captured him, it was very likely he'd lose his life!
With this thought, he released an even greater Soul Power, trying to break free from the overpowering suction...
But to little avail...
As Xie Xie was about to be captured by the neck, the Ghost Emperor coldly smiled, "It's over..."
Ye Xinglan and the others, upon seeing this, naturally couldn't let him succeed...
They approached the Ghost Emperor at high speed and launched their attacks from every direction...
"Boom!"
Taken by surprise, the Ghost Emperor took their full-on strike and plummeted straight downward...
Following close behind, Tang Wulin urgently asked, "Xie Xie, are you alright?"
Xie Xie shook his head, still in shock, "For now, yes, but if it had been any later, there might have been trouble!"
This Ghost Emperor, true to his breakthrough to God Rank, was stronger than imagined!
Ye Xinglan's gaze stayed fixedly ahead, "The Ghost Emperor has just forcibly taken a combined strike from the four of us; he must have sustained heavy damage!"
"Why don't we take this opportunity to thoroughly annihilate him?"
Liang Xiaoyu, however, was cautious, "No... something's off. The Ghost Emperor's aura hasn't weakened at all, in fact... it's become even stronger!"
Guo Xiaoxu frowned, "But the attack just now, it definitely hit..."
Tang Wulin explained, "After reaching God Rank, the Ghost Emperor's body has also become terrifyingly tough; that attack just now probably did not deal any significant damage to him!"
Having battled with him for so long, he knew all too well that the other's physical endurance was no less than his own in Complete Dragon Transformation!
"Hahaha... It seems you're quite aware of your limits; thinking that such attacks could severely wound me, wishful thinking!"
The Ghost Emperor, who had previously been sent plummeting down, now soared upward once more, scrutinizing Tang Wulin and the others with a burning gaze...
Xie Xie clenched his fists, his face showing ferocity, "Damn it... so how are we supposed to fight? If we can't defeat him, and we can't escape either!"
He thought they could help Tang Wulin kill the Ghost Emperor once inside the barrier, but as it seemed, they might likely fall here as well!!
Ye Xinglan spoke softly in an attempt to calm him, "Xie Xie, stay calm. The Ghost Emperor's strength is undoubtedly formidable, but he is not invincible!"
Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu nodded in agreement...
Although they did not know how they could possibly defeat the Ghost Emperor, if they gave up, they would surely die here!
Only Tang Wulin at the very front was staring intently at the Ghost Emperor, trying to find a weakness...
"How exactly can the Ghost Emperor be defeated..."
Could it truly be that only by using that one move there might be a chance to kill him?
If it wasn't for the fact that they were in a real desperate situation, he didn't want to do it!
...
On the other side, Gu Yuena and Di Tian, along with other ferocious beasts, sized up the entire battlefield...
They did not find any surviving evil Soul Masters or Holy Spirit Cult deacons...
Di Tian was the first to speak to Gu Yuena, "My lord, it seems that the evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult and the slightly stronger protectors have indeed all been killed!"
"The only ones who have survived are likely to be..."
He slowly raised his head, his golden pupils fixating on the striking blood-red barrier above...
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena looked in the same direction...
Perhaps others could only sense the battle within the barrier, but with her sufficiently strong spiritual power, she was aware of the situation inside...
She then spoke, "Tang Wulin and two Hall Masters from the Tang Sect are fighting the Ghost Emperor inside the barrier, and they are at an absolute disadvantage!"
Bi Ji's expression turned grave, "My lord, does that mean the Ghost Emperor has really broken through to God Rank?"
Gu Yuena gave a positive response, "Mm, the Ghost Emperor has indeed reached the God Rank, but his aura is still quite unstable, which means he has not fully adapted yet!"
The other ferocious beasts questioned with an air of doubt, "My lord, what should we do next then? Should we let the Ghost Emperor and those guys inflict mutual destruction before we make a move?"
"If those guys are no match for the Ghost Emperor, doesn't that mean Soul Land will fall into the hands of the Holy Spirit Cult?"
"Hisss... If that's the case, won't our plan for the resurgence of the Soul Beast Clan fail?"
Gu Yuena glanced at them and coldly said, "Exactly, if we allow the Ghost Emperor to leave here alive, then no matter how vast the Spirit Pagoda is, no matter how advanced the technology, in the end, there will only be extinction!"
A God was indeed the greatest threat to them!
Di Tian, seemingly unable to fathom her intentions, tentatively asked, "My lord, do you mean..."
Before Gu Yuena could speak, Bi Ji answered first, "What our lord means is probably that we should join forces with those humans to eliminate the Ghost Emperor first, right?"
Gu Yuena did not speak, but her expression evidently had confirmed it...
Seeing this, the ferocious beasts looked at each other and seemed to reach a silent understanding...
"My lord, we will do as you say!"
Gu Yuena, who realized her thoughts were read, showed a look of surprise...
As ferocious beasts, to cooperate with humans, they must have been prepared mentally...
"Good, since everyone agrees, let's enter the barrier and work with the humans to eliminate the Ghost Emperor first!"
With that, she led the ferocious beasts straight to the sky, arriving in front of the blood-red barrier...
Suddenly erupting with the powerful aura of Dragon Might, she then shouted, "Everyone, follow me and attack the barrier together!!"
