Chapter 75 Definitely Not a Loss_1

"Truly deserving of being a main member of the Star Luo Royal Team, your timing is quite good,"

Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had noticed Chen Xiaojie long ago but hadn't been in a rush to make a move against him.

In Qin Xiao's view, this was hardly a threat.

With a thought, he initiated his spiritual simulation.

A mysterious spiritual fluctuation immediately replicated the few of them.

Qin Xiao directly simulated Ma Rulong aiming the soul cannon at Chen Xiaojie.

Not everyone understood the effect of spiritual simulation.

Chen Xiaojie, who was in mid-air, immediately felt an invisible force locking onto him, as if an invisible eye was closely watching him from behind.

It caused him to break out in cold sweat.

Combined with the fact that Ma Rulong's soul cannon was aimed at him, he panicked even more.

After all, not everyone had the courage to confront a Level 7 Soul Guided Cannon.

"Screech!"

He let out a sharp shriek, his wings changing direction.

No longer diving forward, he opted to move side to side instead.

But, Ma Rulong's soul cannon consistently locked onto him, preventing Chen Xiaojie from getting any closer.

"Dammit... if I risk an attack, I'll definitely be putting my life in danger,"

Chen Xiaojie gritted his teeth in hatred.

However, as he circled in mid-air, he hesitated to descend and launch an attack.

"I'm coming!"

Seeing this, Du Gushangshan bit his teeth fiercely, his eyes flashing with a ferocious light.

He mobilized all his Soul Power, forming a Soul Force Barrier in front of himself, and then recklessly charged through the soul cannon blockade set up by Xiao Hongchen and the others.

Since Chen Xiaojie had drawn the most threatening Level 7 Soul Guided Cannon's attention, Du Gushangshan decided to take a hit and endure two attacks in order to break into the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Team, creating an opening for his teammates.

That was what he intended to do, and he did just that.

However, dreams are often full, but reality is very skinny.

The next moment, Du Gushangshan's complexion changed drastically.

Because, right beside Ma Rulong, an incredibly sinister beam of light appeared out of thin air.

Over one meter in diameter, it was so dark that it was frightening!

It was indeed Ma Rulong's Level 7 Soul Guided Cannon!

"Heavens!"

"What the hell is this!"

"Why isn't the soul cannon firing from Ma Rulong's hands?"

Du Gushangshan's eyes widened, his face filled with confusion.

He couldn't understand how this attack had happened!

Of course...

This was also Du Gushangshan's last thought.

The power of the Level 7 Soul Guided Cannon was such that even with his special Martial Soul, there was no way to withstand it head-on.

The massive beam of light sent him flying out and he slammed heavily against the protective barrier outside the arena.

"What's going on?"

From the background, Huang Heyun witnessed all this, equally baffled.

Chen Xiaojie's eyes were fixed on Ma Rulong, his back drenched in sweat.

There wasn't a problem.

Ma Rulong's soul cannon had been aimed at him the whole time.

How, then, did an inexplicable attack strike Du Gushangshan?

"Everyone be careful, we've been deceived by what we saw!"

Suddenly, Xu Jiujiu's voice entered everyone's ears.

Swish, swish, swish.

Instinctively, everyone's gaze turned towards Xu Jiujiu.

They sought an answer.

But they found that Xu Jiujiu, at some point, had closed her eyes, "Hearing is believing but seeing can also be deceiving. Sometimes our eyes can trick us too. If you guessed correctly, what we are seeing are illusions, not reality. For example, the Ma Rulong who's been aiming at Chen Xiaojie is likely fake, and the real Ma Rulong must have changed his position, allowing the soul cannon to charge and seriously injure Du Gushangshan!"

What?

Upon hearing Xu Jiujiu's words everyone's expressions changed dramatically.

Yet, considering the events they had just experienced, it seemed that only such an explanation made sense.

What they saw was not the reality.

"But how can we distinguish their real bodies?"

Huang Heyun asked in a deep voice.

Without knowing the enemy's position, there was no way to launch an attack.

Without being able to attack, wouldn't they just be passively waiting to be hit?

Time was pressing, and once they allowed those from the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy enough time to accumulate power for their powerful soul tools, wouldn't they become mere sitting ducks? Where then would be the possibility of their victory?

"Don't panic!"

It was at this moment that Xu Jiujiu suddenly opened her eyes.

No.

To be precise, her eyes were half-open.

She stretched out her right hand and slowly pointed towards the sky, a twinkle of golden light at her fingertip. The Star Crown atop her head shone once more. This time, another golden light shot up into the sky, but it was not the pillar from before, just a single streak. While maintaining the continuous release of her third soul ring's Star Brilliance Technique, her first soul ring shone brightly.

The golden light solidified as it neared the protective barrier over the arena, followed by a brilliant star appearing directly above Xu Jiujiu's head. The star wasn't big, but its light was intense.

"Go!"

Only then did Xu Jiujiu widen her beautiful eyes and shout sharply. At once, as her delicate finger pointed in the direction of Qin Xiao and his group, countless beams of starlight descended from the sky.

The golden beams fell unobstructedly into Qin Xiao's range of spiritual simulation.

Under the illumination, several vague silhouettes began to appear within the range of the spiritual simulation.

But, as time passed, these shadows gradually became clearer.
