Chapter 1586: Xu Sheng's Deterrence (Please Subscribe)_1
```
Witnessing the imperial palace filled with the thick stench of blood, Halosa couldn't help but inhale deeply with satisfaction...
But the next second, when he saw Leng Yulai return to his side, his brows furrowed slightly as he questioned in confusion, "Darkness Phoenix, didn't I tell you to watch over that man?"
Now, the only one he feared was that man!
All others were not worth mentioning!
Leng Yulai bowed slightly, her expression grave as she reported, "Vice Sect Hierarch, that Xu Sheng... he demanded that our Holy Spirit Cult retreat immediately, or else he would take personal action!"
Upon hearing this, Halosa's eyes flickered for a moment before he said coldly, "Retreat? How could that be possible! We are only a step away from completely destroying the royal family of Xingluo Empire!"
There was no way he would give up this rare opportunity just because of one person, absolutely not!
Leng Yulai's tone grew colder as she suggested, "Vice Sect Hierarch, in my opinion, we have already achieved our goal of establishing our authority on Xingluo Land. There's no need to take the risk of provoking that man and continue the attack!"
Having personally experienced Xu Sheng's strength, the thought of it now made her body tremble incessantly...
Halosa glanced at Leng Yulai and commanded, "Hmph, no matter how strong that man is, it's impossible for him to reach the realm of a God. Go and stop him!"
Although she couldn't kill him, it shouldn't be a problem for Leng Yulai, a Hyper Douluo, to intercept him!
But the very next second, Leng Yulai decisively refused, "Vice Sect Hierarch, I'm sorry, but I can't do that!"
Halosa's face grew colder after being refused, "What do you mean? Darkness Phoenix, are you defying my orders? Or are you saying... you're betraying the Holy Spirit Cult?"
His aura, no weaker than the Dark Blood Devil and even more terrifying, burst forth instantly, forcing her to retreat several steps...
Standing firm against this terrifying pressure, Leng Yulai clenched her teeth and said, "Vice Sect Hierarch, that's not what I mean... but in front of Xu Sheng, I wouldn't survive five seconds!"
Five seconds was the time she could possibly last by using all the tricks up her sleeve!
Halosa paused, his sharp eyes fixating on Leng Yulai's face...
After staring intently for more than a dozen seconds, he spoke in a dark tone, "Is that guy... really that strong?"
If even Leng Yulai wouldn't last five seconds in front of that man...
Then how long could he, or the Dark Blood Devil, or the Ghost Emperor last?
Could this power, nearly approaching that of a God, truly be attained by a Soul Master?
Leng Yulai nodded seriously, "Yes! I fear even the Demon Emperor himself would be defeated swiftly if he were to take action personally!"
Halosa remained silent, sinking into contemplation...
He seemed to be considering whether to order the Evil Soul Masters to retreat...
Meanwhile, the energy of the Dark Blood Devil, which was gradually waning, focused tightly on Mu Ye ahead...
In a grim voice, he said, "You're quite formidable, able to withstand me even when I've deployed my Martial Soul True Body."
However, with just a little more time, the Dark Blood Devil was confident he could kill his opponent!
Spitting out blood with a "puh", Mu Ye felt his internal organs churning incessantly, his face deathly pale...
Still, he managed to keep from falling and said with an ironic tone, "I have to say... for one of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Dark Blood Devil, you're not all that impressive!"
This statement clearly enraged the Dark Blood Devil, "You're courting death!!"
As he spoke, he aimed to release his soul skill to cut down his opponent, but found himself completely unable to do so!
Certainly, it was the period of weakness after using his Martial Soul True Body!
Mu Ye taunted again, "Unable to even release a soul skill, it seems you're just the last arrow at the end of its flight!"
After a pause, "But then again..."
Before he could finish, the God Rank Mecha, already covered in battle scars, suddenly accumulated a terrifying glow and launched it directly at the head of the Dark Blood Devil...
Seeing this attack coming, the pupils of the Dark Blood Devil contracted sharply, "What!!"
```
This guy, he actually had a backup plan!!
With a loud "Boom!!!" the light exploded instantly, raising clouds of dust…
Mu Ye squinted and said, "Did it succeed…"
As the dust gradually cleared, the unscathed Nanali was revealed, her cold voice ringing out, "Quite useless, aren't you? If I hadn't arrived in time, you'd already be dead!"
Upon hearing this, the Dark Blood Devil's face immediately darkened, yet surprisingly, he didn't retort…
Mu Ye sighed, feeling a sense of pity in his heart…
"Blocked it, huh… Then that means those two Hyper Douluos from the royal family of the Xingluo Empire have been dealt with,"
His own Soul Power had also been exhausted, it seemed, today was the day he'd fall right here…
Nanali clearly didn't want to give him a chance to recover his Soul Power, her cold voice declaring, "Alright… Now let me clean up the mess! Fifth soul skill..."
Suddenly, Leng Yulai appeared, stopping her, "Wait, the Vice Sect Hierarch has ordered an immediate retreat!"
Nanali, puzzled, asked, "Retreat? Are you sure?"
Leng Yulai didn't explain but instead directed his gaze towards a certain direction…
Following his gaze, Nanali seemed to grasp the reason, nodding and saying, "I see."
Then, she took a deep look at Mu Ye in front of her…
"You're lucky!"
With those words, the group quickly departed…
Watching them getting farther away, Mu Ye couldn't believe it and said, "They're actually leaving?"
He had just lost the power to resist and had even prepared himself for death!
But now, his life was bizarrely spared!
Considering the actions of Leng Yulai and his companion, Mu Ye instinctively looked towards Xu Sheng, who still sat in his seat, not moving an inch…
Inwardly he thought, "Could it be..."
An astounding thought quietly surfaced in his heart…
…
The students and disciples from the various forces locked in fierce battle also noticed this peculiar situation…
The evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult were actually retreating one after another!!
Xie Xie exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on? Why are the evil Soul Masters retreating?"
Luo Guixing frowned and said, "They obviously had the upper hand in the fight, why would they choose to retreat? Something's not right, this is way too fishy!"
Tang Wulin affirmed, "That's right, they should have victory within their grasp, and at such a crucial moment, this isn't the style of the Holy Spirit Cult at all!"
Zheng Yiran gasped for breath and said irritably, "Isn't it good that they're retreating? Or do you really want to sacrifice yourselves here?"
Her aim was to become a Hyper Douluo; there was no way she could die here!
Gu Yue said coldly, "No matter what the reason for their retreat is, it's a good thing for us. Let's go check on the other students…"
Just because they were safe didn't mean the other students were too!
Xu Lizhi pointed in a direction, "Teacher Shen is over there, so the other students should be too. Let's hurry over!"
