Back on the battlefield, Lan Muzi naturally couldn't agree to the Ghost Emperor's demand, "Sorry, I cannot let you disturb Wulin and the others, even if it costs me my life!"
As expected of a God Rank Ghost Emperor, just his overwhelming presence made one's heart beat violently...
The latter clearly sensed a threat from Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, and immediately said, "Is that so? Then die with them!!"
With a flash, he closed in on Lan Muzi, his claw-like hand reaching out for his heart...
"Puchi," it went straight through...
However, the expected scene did not occur, only to see Lan Muzi's body become as ethereal as sunlight...
After shattering into pieces, his true form, which had turned into a light shadow, instantly solidified and launched an attack from behind...
"Bang!"
The Yang Wood Saber was knocked back by the rebound force...
Lan Muzi couldn't help exclaiming, "What... I can't even break through the opponent's physical defense!!"
To the Ghost Emperor, being struck by the Yang Wood Saber was like being tickled, completely unfazed...
"To think such strength could stop me is laughable!"
The reacting Ghost Emperor grabbed his wrist, pulled him closer, and then drove his knee into his abdomen...
"Puh!!"
With fierce power injected, Lan Muzi's abdomen seemed ready to tear apart, and blood sprayed from his mouth...
After struggling with all his might to free himself from the binding, he staggered back a few steps and then fell into a half-kneeling position...
But his gaze remained fixed on his opponent, "One... one strike, and just one strike has gravely injured me; is this the gap between a Soul Master and a God?"
It was hard to imagine how people like Tang Wulin had held on until now!
The Ghost Emperor's eyes showed increased disdain, "It seems I overestimated you Elders of the Sea God Pavilion; so weak!"
Having said that, he prepared to move towards Tang Wulin and company...
But Lan Muzi still forced himself to stand up, interjecting, "Don't even think about it, the seventh..."
The Ghost Emperor appeared in front of him instantly, his voice cold, "Chatterbox, die!"
Taken by surprise, Lan Muzi was forced to stretch out his arms to block...
"Crack!"
However, under the absolute force, his defense was as weak as thin paper; his arms bent at an odd angle, the bones already shattered...
Even so, Lan Muzi endured the pain and gritted his teeth, "Ghost Emperor, I... won't let you pass!"
The Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes, "After breaking your arm bones, you still utter such words. Good, then I'll slowly crush all the bones in your body and pull them out!!"
As he was about to attack again...
Yet, without any warning, Lan Muzi's figure had vanished...
When he reappeared, he was already behind Xie Xie and Ye Xinglan...
Xie Xie anxiously said, "Senior brother, are you okay?"
Lan Muzi shook his head, "I'm fine, only the bones in both arms are shattered, but what was that just now..."
As a Hyper Douluo, even if all the bones in his body were shattered, as long as he was alive, he could use his Soul Power to heal!
Xie Xie said with a hint of pride, "My own creation, a Spatial Soul Skill!"
Ye Xinglan was cautious, reminding, "Xie Xie!"
The former came back to his senses and turned his gaze back to the Ghost Emperor...
The latter, thinking back to how Tang Wulin had previously managed to escape, had also understood everything...
"It seems that the boy named Tang Wulin was able to survive the assassination because of you!"
Xie Xie jeered mercilessly, "What's the matter? Envious that I possess a Spatial Soul Skill? If you've got the skills, why don't you use it too!"
It seems the power of the Heart of the Dragon God is truly immense, as even Wulin's soul skills could not absorb it in a short time!
The Ghost Emperor's expression became ferocious, "He's just a guy who picked up a life-saving chance under my attack, and still he dares to be so rampant!"
Every time the moment for a kill arose, there was always someone interfering!
He had had enough!!!
With this thought, his eyes emitted a terrifying light, shooting out...
The first to react was Lan Muzi, who shouted, "Xie Xie, Xing Lan, get out of the way quickly, this is a group spiritual... spiritual attack!!"
The two who were about to defend instantly turned sideways, narrowly avoiding the spiritual impact...
But it did not vanish because of this; instead, it headed straight for Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena behind them...
Lan Muzi turned his head anxiously, "Damn it, we've been tricked, the Ghost Emperor's target has been Wulin and Gu Yue from the start!!"
But even if they realized it now, it was too late!
The attack was about to hit...
Suddenly, Gu Yuena opened her silver eyes and said indifferently, "Break!"
With just a glance, the spiritual impact dissipated into nothingness...
Xie Xie was utterly astonished, "Gu Yue's spiritual power seems to be stronger than the God Rank Ghost Emperor, crumbling it with just a look!"
Ye Xinglan agreed, "Mm-hmm, the spiritual impact that we couldn't avoid at all is nothing to Gu Yue; the gap... is really huge!"
Even Lan Muzi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Has Gu Yuena's spiritual level really reached such a realm?"
He was very confident in his own spiritual power, but it was nothing compared to hers!
Meanwhile, Tang Wulin had stopped his absorption, corresponding to his eyes flooded with golden light...
After sensing the condition within his body, he praised, "The Heart of the Dragon God is truly a super divine weapon of legend, even with only half the power absorbed, it has definitely boosted my strength by several times!!"
Gu Yuena glanced at him and added, "This is still the result of some power dissipation, if it were fully absorbed, it would be even stronger!"
Although he had tried his best to absorb it, some wastage was inevitable!
Tang Wulin nodded, "Indeed, I can't deny that!"
Then, he looked at Lan Muzi and the others, "Xie Xie, thanks for buying us time, now, leave it to me and Gu Yue!"
After a pause, he also addressed the ferocious beasts, "Of course, the same to you, thank you!"
The ferocious beasts didn't want to follow his command, but seeing the look from Gu Yuena, they smartly stepped back a few paces...
Xie Xie and the others chose to trust...
"If that's the case, then the Ghost Emperor is yours to deal with; Xing Lan and I will go help Hall Master Guo!"
With that said, they left the area to go support...
At that moment, Tang Wulin took a deep breath, "Gu Yue, it's up to us to defeat the Ghost Emperor, are you confident?
Gu Yuena replied coldly, "Before I certainly had no assurance, but now, it's no problem!"
The Ghost Emperor, feeling underestimated, roared, "Arrogant, even if you've luckily absorbed the power of a super divine weapon, there's no way you can be my match!!"
"I have broken through the bottleneck and transcended the realm of Soul Masters, I am a true God!!"
