Chapter 3264_1

Several days later, the reinforcements from the Tiandou Empire Palace finally arrived at their destination...

However, the scene that greeted them caused them to gasp in shock...

"According to the reports, shouldn't this place be crisscrossed with mountain ranges? Why... Why has it become like this, it's completely in ruins!"

"Look over there, it seems that these mountain ranges have collapsed for some reason. It's hard to imagine, if we had arrived here a few days earlier, wouldn't we have been buried alive!"

"This is terrifying. I wonder how the troops stationed here are doing!"

"Hmph, how could these mountain ranges collapse out of nowhere? I see, it must be someone's doing. It must have been the same culprits who attacked our Sky Dou Empire Soldiers before!"

"Everyone, search around. Perhaps, there are still people nearby!"

As expected, after searching the surroundings, they found the Sky Dou Empire Soldiers who had luckily survived...

However, upon closer inspection, it was evident that each of them had suffered varying degrees of injury...

This must also be the reason they couldn't return to the imperial palace...

One of the soldiers, clutching his severed arm, said excitedly, "You're finally here!"

Hearing this, the man leading the reinforcements turned to him and asked, "I remember His Majesty the Emperor sent quite a few people to garrison this place? How come there are only so few of you left?"

The soldier's expression instantly turned somber as he clenched his fist and said, "The rest... including the captain have all fallen!"

Upon receiving this answer, the man expressed his sympathy, but still urged, "You, tell me everything that happened here in detail!"

The soldier nodded and began to recount, "It was like this. Our entire team was stationed between these mountains when we were attacked multiple times by soul beasts!"

"Because of the heavy casualties, we had no choice but to hide amongst the mountains..."

"But the soul beasts' sense of smell was too acute; they found us soon after and sealed off all our escape routes! We were forced to fight them."

"It was then that a huge noise erupted in the sky, and these mountains began to collapse one after another. Most of the soldiers didn't manage to get out in time and fell into the depths of the earth, only a few of us barely managed to survive!"

And so, they passed the days in calm...

Members of the Shrek Seven Monsters were gathered in the outer yard, staying highly vigilant while casually chatting...

Xie Xie stretched and was the first to speak up, "I wonder how Teacher Xu is doing now. If he were still here, he'd surely crush that Ghost Emperor with ease!"

Yue Zhengyu nodded in agreement, "Indeed, even the Abyssal Emperor, who ranks as a Divine King, had exhausted all his strength and couldn't defeat Teacher Xu, relying only on such despicable means to send him to the past!"

"For Teacher Xu to cut down this newly advanced God Rank Ghost Emperor, it would surely just be a piece of cake!"

In his mind, Xu Sheng was the strongest!

Yuanen Yehui showed a touch of regret, "But the reality is that Teacher Xu hasn't returned yet, most likely he's encountered some difficult problems!"

Being sent back tens of thousands of years, his strength might have weakened, perhaps not even having broken through to God Rank yet!

Dealing with the Abyssal Emperor certainly wouldn't be so simple!

Xu Xiaoyan, however, spoke with complete trust, "I don't think that's the case. Who's to say it was the Abyssal Emperor who sent Teacher Xu back, and not the latter who did so intentionally?"

"Perhaps, Teacher Xu just wanted to deal with him in the past so as not to affect the present!"

Ye Xinglan rested her chin in her hand and pondered, "Hmm... Xiao Yan's point also makes a lot of sense. We can't rule out that possibility!"

"After all, the Abyssal Emperor is also a Divine King, and if he wants to perish together with this plane, he can definitely do it!"

While everyone was talking, they noticed that Tang Wulin was just silently pondering beside them...

Xie Xie waved his hand in front of his eyes, "Wulin, what are you thinking about?"

Tang Wulin came to his senses and said seriously, "I always feel that Teacher Xu might have guessed that he would be swept away by the Abyssal Emperor from the beginning!"

Yue Zhengyu was quite curious, "Wulin, why do you say that?"

Tang Wulin glanced at everyone, "I won't hide it from you all; I was close to falling in the previous battle!"

"However, I found that my consciousness didn't vanish, and a powerful Life Force burst forth within me, repairing my body!"

Sensing the impending danger from behind, Yue Zhengyu secretly thought, "Damn it, I can't avoid this!"

At that moment, Xu Xiaoyan suddenly shouted, "Don't overlook me! Second Soul Skill, Starlight Feedback!!"

A strong silver brilliance instantly enveloped Ye Xinglan, causing a moment of confusion in her mind. The sword she had cleaved down veered off course and brushed past Yue Zhengyu's neck...

Seizing the moment, Yue Zhengyu kicked Xie Xie out of the way and flashed next to Xu Xiaoyan...

Touching the blood flowing down his neck, Yue Zhengyu looked at the recovered Ye Xinglan with a resentful tone, "Xing Lan, do you have to be so ruthless? If that strike had hit, my head would have fallen to the ground!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinglan instinctively pursed her lips, seemingly lost in thought...

Seeing this, Xie Xie jokingly said, "Xing Lan, don't listen to his nonsense. Since it's a battle, one must exert their true strength; otherwise, isn't it just playing house?"

To their surprise, Ye Xinglan expressed regret, "No... I just feel some regret that my last strike didn't hit!"

Yue Zhengyu's eyes grew more solemn, "Since they're serious, then I'll hold nothing back! Xiao Yan, cover for me!"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "No problem!"

To be honest, Ye Xinglan's last attack had left Xu Xiaoyan quite dissatisfied—if she hadn't reacted in time, the former could have truly been seriously injured!

Yue Zhengyu took a deep breath as his fifth soul ring lit up...

Fifth Soul Skill, Angel's Wrath!

A vast holy light bathed him, and his attack power received a massive enhancement!

Yet, it wasn't over; the sixth soul ring also lit up...

Without another word, he aimed a punch at Shen Yi's face, generating a piercing whistling through the air...

Shen Yi, realizing what was happening too late to dodge, could only brace her arms in front of her...

"Bang!"

The terrifying force came crashing down, and Shen Yi, like a cannonball, was sent flying, crashing into the statues in the square!

The statues of the Shrek Seven Monsters, struck by the formidable hit, instantly shattered into fragments that rained down from the sky...

Seeing this, the other academy teachers couldn't help but exclaim, "Dean Shen!!"

"Damn it, Elder Shen Yi is only a Hyper Douluo; facing an Ultimate Douluo alone is still too strenuous!"

As the silhouette formed by Xu Sheng completely dissipated, a cold smile finally appeared on the cheeks of the Abyssal Emperor...
