Just as everyone was about to leave, a sad wailing suddenly resounded around them...
Almost instantly, everyone turned towards the direction of the crying...
Zi Yi coldly shouted, "Who's there? No skulking about, come out!"
In this gloomy and murky abandoned factory, the sudden eerie sound was enough to send shivers down anyone's spine...
Huang Er looked at his Fighter's Badge, his face filled with horror, "Zi Yi, the Fighter's Badge hasn't detected any signs of life!!"
Tang Wulin said gravely, "That means, whatever made that sound isn't a living creature! Could it really be a ghost?"
After all, his Fighter's Badge was showing the same thing!
Huang Yi decisively said, "Impossible, it's more likely someone behind the scenes is acting up!!"
Huang Si clenched his teeth, "This could be one of the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master's tricks, deliberately scaring us!"
Before he could finish, the wailing sound from before suddenly amplified several times over, engulfing the whole space...
For a moment, the garbage strewn around the abandoned factory seemed to come to life, shaking continuously and faintly revealing several ghostly figures...
"Not good, the crying has gotten louder, be careful everyone!!"
Zi Yi's expression drastically changed, and he immediately unleashed his Martial Soul, floating seven Soul Rings beneath his feet, revealing he was a powerful Soul Sage!
Not only that, but he also had the enhancement of Two-Word Battle Armor!!
This allowed his strength to reach at least the Soul Douluo level!
And including Tang Wulin, the Yellow-class Fighters also released their Martial Souls, almost all reaching the level of five-ringed Soul King!!
Immediately after, they formed a standard circular battle formation, with Huang Er, of the healing class, protected in the middle.
Seeing the situation, Zi Yi simply gathered Soul Power in his hand to create a ball of light and threw it into the distance...
Almost at the instant the ball of light hit the ground, a huge white halo enveloped the surroundings, exposing everything to sight...
Huang Yi glanced over and asked, "Zi Yi, what should we do? Should we head deeper towards the source of the sound?"
Zi Yi pondered for a few seconds before shaking his head, "No, something's not right here, let's retreat first!"
It wasn't that he was afraid, but that the opponent could conceal their presence from the Tang Sect Badge's scan, which meant their strength was definitely not to be underestimated!
Protecting four Yellow-class Fighters while fighting the enemy would be unwise!
The best way would be to request support from the Tang Sect after getting away...
But as it turned out, just as they took their first step, the surroundings began to spin dizzyingly, a bone-chilling wind rose up, and their communicators were forcefully cut off...
Even though they could see nothing, a thick sense of panic welled up inside them!
Zi Yi's expression turned ugly, "It seems the enemy has seen through our intentions and used a spiritual class soul skill to cut off our communicators. Prepare for battle, it's likely to be a tough fight!"
Although Purple Demon Eyes could see through illusions, that was only as long as one's spiritual power was strong enough!
Tang Wulin immediately understood and called out, "First Soul Skill, Coiling!"
The Soul Rings at his feet lit up as several resilient strands of Bluesilver Grass were released from his body, quietly coiling around the waists of the others, strengthening the connection between them...
Huang Yi exclaimed, "It's actually the Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul! Can this Martial Soul still be cultivated to Soul King level by anyone?"
Huang Er nodded, "I remember the ancestor of the Tang Sect, Tang San, once had the Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul!"
Huang Si muttered, "It's quite rare, but anyone who can cultivate it to Soul King level should also be considered a genius!"
Zi Yi glared at them, "Stop blathering, we don't have time to care about what kind of Martial Soul anyone has right now!"
Although Tang Wulin's Martial Soul was Bluesilver Grass, which surprised him as well, that was as far as it went!
After all, there were quite a few soul masters who had achieved success in the past!
After he finished speaking, he tried to launch attacks in every direction, attempting to find a breach!
But the results were minimal, each attack was like a stone sinking into the sea, bringing about no reaction whatsoever...
This only added to the heavy pressure in Zi Yi's heart, and he dared not act rashly any longer!
It was at this moment that Tang Wulin's eyes flickered, "Zi Yi, I am Huang San. I have a way to temporarily break through this virtual world, but it can only be maintained for a while. Take that time to rush out together!"
Upon hearing this, Zi Yi couldn't help showing a doubtful expression, "Huang San, are you sure? If we make a mistake, we might all be trapped here!"
Even he didn't have a solution, so could this five-ringed Soul King, Huang San, really solve it?
Tang Wulin said earnestly, "Trust me, Zi Yi. After all, no one else has any other ideas, do they?"
When it comes to virtual worlds, this one is definitely not as close to reality as the one created by the Desire Demon!
So, using that method, there should be a high chance of breaking the illusion, albeit briefly!
Zi Yi fell silent and turned to look at the other Yellow-Class Fighters...
Huang Yi immediately expressed his stance, "I believe Huang San. He wouldn't joke about his own life!"
Huang Er nodded, "Mhm, I also believe in Huang San!"
Huang Si clenched his teeth and said, "We don't have a better plan right now. Let Huang San have a try. If it fails, we'll figure something else out!"
Zi Yi pressed his lips together and said resolutely, "In that case, Huang San, please!"
"Alright!" Tang Wulin silently breathed a sigh of relief. If the others were unwilling to trust him, things would have been a lot more troublesome!
Taking a deep breath, he reminded everyone, "Guys, I will count down from three. When I finish, no matter what happens, start sprinting forward immediately!"
Without any hesitation, everyone nodded in affirmation!
Tang Wulin's gaze grew focused, "Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed the Golden Dragon King's bloodline within his body, and the five soul rings at his feet turned into four bloodline soul rings!
"Roar!!"
A deafening dragon's roar burst forth from within him, assaulting the surrounding illusion and forcibly tearing it apart...
Seeing the path ahead return to normal, the Purple-Class Fighter didn't say much but firmly grasped the coiling Bluesilver Grass vines and, relying on the strength of a seven-ringed Soul King, propelled Tang Wulin and the others into the air...
Just as they were about to fly out of the abandoned factory, a miserable scream rang out in front of them!
Accompanied by a gigantic skull emanating blue flames, it blocked their path...
Making eye contact with the gigantic skull's eyes, everyone felt a faint pain in their souls...
Huang Yi exclaimed in shock, "What kind of thing is this? It even has the ability to attack the soul!!"
The gigantic skull did not reply but instead opened its large mouth and spat out green flames, heading straight for the group!
Zi Yi's brows furrowed and without hesitation, he flung Tang Wulin and the others away, while he himself spread his wings and bravely took the hit head-on...
But those nearly contorted cheeks seemed to indicate that the hit was not simple!
Huang Er shouted, "Zi Yi!! Second Soul Skill, Spirit Healing!"
Holy light gathered from above, pouring into Zi Yi's body, alleviating much of the pain...
