Facing the assault of Qian Yu's puppet, the Hyper Douluo at the rear grimaced and said, "Dammit! Get out of my way!"
As he spoke, the sixth soul ring beneath his feet lit up…
Sixth Soul Skill, Obstruction Array!
His right leg emitted a burst of brilliant blue light as he lightly glided it horizontally toward the front…
In an instant, a solid wall of light rose continuously from the ground, spreading out in all directions, effectively holding back Qian Yu's puppet…
In the puppet's eyes flared a cold light, and his eighth soul skill was then activated…
Immediately, its already thick arms bulged even more gigantic; veins popping gruesomely as muscles were stretched taut...
The power of the entire figure amplified by several degrees, at least augmenting its attack strength four to fivefold into something truly terrifying!
A tremendously fearsome punch slammed into the light wall, erupting with a "boom"...
Instantly creating a few cracks in the wall, and it seemed only a matter of punches, and it would shatter…
Grinding his teeth behind the light wall, the Hyper Douluo thought, "I must retreat for now! Even if I face punishment from the Supreme Pontiff, if I don't withdraw, I will eventually be worn down by this idiot, only letting that kid reap the benefits!"
With that thought, he decisively abandoned the mission and turned to flee at a speed invisible to the naked eye…
Just then, Qian Yu's controlled Hyper Douluo puppet broke through the light wall, intent on pursuing…
Qian Yu shouted coldly, "Enough, go and deal with those evil Soul Masters first…"
The puppet paused, then respectfully said, "Yes, my lord!"
Immediately, it charged toward Tang Sect's group…
At this moment, Qian Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly sat down cross-legged and began to recuperate and heal his injuries through cultivation…
…
Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth as he watched the evil Soul Masters in front of him release their Martial Soul True Bodies, his face dark as he said, "These guys are prepared to fight to the death!"
Tang Ya anxiously said, "They're like cornered dogs jumping over the wall! Don't clash head-on with them right now; if we sustain casualties, the loss will only be ours!"
In her eyes, the lives of all these evil Soul Masters couldn't be compared to any member of the Tang Sect!
Bei Bei bellowed, "Fourth Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Head!"
Behind him, a dragon head enveloped in thunder light took shape, with a pulsating force that thundered towards the evil Soul Masters in front…
However, under the enhancement of their Martial Soul True Bodies, the Thunder Dragon Head only forced them back a few steps, as harmlessly as if it were scraping bone!
In the sky above, Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes turned grave as she shouted, "Everyone, prepare to use your Martial Soul True Bodies!"
Using the Martial Soul True Body causes Soul Masters to experience weakness for a period afterwards, so many strong fighters, as long as it is not a matter of life and death, will not resort to it, even preferring to use their ninth soul skill!
Because once the augmentation effect of the Martial Soul True Body ends, they will be vulnerable to anyone's slaughter!
Just then, a figure rushed quickly from behind the evil Soul Masters; it was the Hyper Douluo controlled by Qian Yu's soul skill!
Upon discovering this, the evil Soul Masters' faces filled with ecstasy, "It's the Elder! It seems that the kid has been dealt with!"
"Hahaha! The Elder truly is formidable; now we have surely won!"
"I told you, how could that kid possibly be a match for our Elder? I wonder if he was blown apart by a punch or squashed flat by a stomp! The thought is exhilarating!"
On Tang Sect group's side, everyone's expressions grew even darker…
Jiang Nannan clenched her teeth, "That is… an Elder from the Body Sect! That means, Qian Yu, he has already…"
Xu Sanshi pursed his lips, "The other Elder isn't here; did he hold Qian Yu back… or did he… together with Qian Yu"
Tang Wutong's eyes reddened slightly, "No, Qian Yu will be fine! He won't come to harm!"
Tang Ya, standing beside, couldn't bear to see Wutong's sorrow and whispered soothingly, "Wutong, don't be so sad. Qian Yu must have just been held up. We need to believe in him!"
Meanwhile, one of the evil Soul Masters spoke to the Hyper Douluo behind them, "Elder, please help us kill these people!"
The controlled Hyper Douluo's eyes flashed with intense killing intent...
He swung his arm and delivered a slash toward those evil Soul Masters...
"Puchi"
Any evil Soul Master struck by the slash was bifurcated by the massive force and fell to the ground...
This terrifying strike instantly killed at least five evil Soul Masters on the spot!
Seeing their comrades' gruesome death, the remaining six or seven evil Soul Masters said in shock, "Elder! What are you doing? It's them we're supposed to be killing, not us!"
"Damn it! What's gotten into you, Elder? Why are you attacking us!"
"Quick… Look, there's a mark on the Elder's forehead, he's being controlled!!!"
"Puh!"
As soon as those words were uttered, the head of the evil Soul Master who had shouted the warning exploded like a watermelon under a punch...
The people from Tang Sect also noticed the distinctive mark on the forehead of the Elder in front, and Bei Bei asked in confusion, "What's that mark?"
Xu Sanshi shook his head, "Not sure, but the fact that he didn't attack us is good news!"
Tang Wutong's beautiful eyes lit up with delight, "That mark… It looks like it's Qian Yu's puppet control soul skill!"
Ma Xiaotao speculated, "If so, this Hyper Douluo must be under Qian Yu's control!"
After these words were spoken, everyone from the Tang Sect breathed a sigh of relief...
If the seven of them had to fight a Hyper Douluo, they probably wouldn't stand a chance of surviving!
Especially against one from the Body Sect, which was exceedingly difficult to deal with!
In just a few dozen seconds, those desperate evil Soul Masters ultimately turned into a pile of dismembered corpses amidst chilling screams, with not a single body left intact!
Only then did the Hyper Douluo turn his emotionless gaze toward Tang Ya and the others...
The atmosphere around them instantly froze, and Tang Ya and her group held their breath, fearing even the slightest noise might provoke him...
After a long while, the Hyper Douluo finally said, "The master is over there."
Bei Bei exclaimed in astonishment, "Uh, thank… thank you."
Thus, they hurried toward the location where Qian Yu was...
…
Upon seeing Qian Yu meditating on the ground, Tang Wutong quickly went over to him and asked softly, "Qian Yu, are you alright?"
Qian Yu opened his pale golden eyes and smiled at Tang Wutong, "I'm fine! Don't worry."
That said, had the Hyper Douluo evaded his initial Nether Curse, the outcome might have been very different...
Xu Sanshi rolled his eyes and said, "You scared us to death. We thought those two Hyper Douluos got rid of you!"
Jiang Nannan glared at him with beautiful eyes, "Sanshi, can't you see that Qian Yu is wounded? Would it kill you to say something nice?"
With Tang Wutong's support, Qian Yu stood up and said solemnly, "Let's go. We need to secure the location for building the Tang Sect, and then we have to quickly inform Elder Xuan and the others about the Body Sect having been turned into the Evil Soul Masters' headquarters."
The rest nodded in agreement, "Mhm!"
