The Soul Masters witnessing the rise of the Netherworld Angel behind Qian Yu exclaimed in horror, "What? How can he use his Martial Soul!"
"Not only can he use his Martial Soul, but his soul power rank has actually advanced to that of a Titled Douluo??"
"Wasn't there a rumor that he was deceived by the Fleet Admiral of the Sun-Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult, resulting in his Soul Power being crippled??"
"Damn it! It must be fake! How could he possibly recover from being a Grand Soul Master to a Titled Douluo in just a few days? Don't be afraid, everyone! Let's attack together and avenge our fallen relatives!"
With these words, the other frightened Soul Masters steadied their minds and bombarded Qian Yu…
Beneath their feet, Soul Rings lit up...
"Fifth Soul Skill, Bursting Fire Explosion!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Sunset Slash!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Wind's Sever"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Serpent's Thousand Shadow Strike!"
...
Qian Yu's icy gaze watched as dozens of Soul Masters charged towards him, and suddenly a golden soul ring at his feet shone brightly...
The bodice of the Netherworld Angel behind him surged with terrifying evil power once again, followed by a spread of Black Mist in front of her. The Netherworld Angel slowly reached into it, grasping the Netherworld Sword that radiated a black glow, and slowly drew it out, her eyes emanating a frightening murderous intent...
Countless Divine Power surged from Qian Yu into the Netherworld Angel, who then raised the several-meter-long Netherworld Sword and slashed fiercely at the incoming Soul Masters...
A terrifying Sword Qi that had a strong sense of tearing was released from the Netherworld Sword, instantly hitting the Soul Masters within a massive range of dozens of meters...
Their bodies exploded into a Blood Fog, turning into a torrential rain of blood falling from the sky, staining the ground a crimson red…
One casual slash! It took the lives of dozens of Soul Masters!
Feeling the external commotion through his Soul Power, Xuan Zi angrily said, "Qian Yu, you actually... you actually killed them!"
Qian Yu glanced at Xuan Zi and said coldly, "Whoever blocks my path, dies!"
Having said this, Qian Yu erupted with terrifying Divine Power and ran towards the direction of the Sun-Moon Empire at the fastest speed…
Any Soul Master who tried to stop him was turned to ash under the sword of the Netherworld Angel following him...
...
But as he ran amok, all the scenes he passed were imprinted in his mind…
Within the vast nation, everywhere was shrouded with the smell of gunpowder from the smoke of the war, hardly a place remained intact, most mixed with huge craters!
Clearly not man-made, they were highly likely the result of bombardment by soul tools!
As Qian Yu pondered, fearful whispers came from up ahead...
"Everyone, run! The Soul Guidance Device army of the Sun-Moon Empire is coming again!"
"Run, everyone, run fast!"
"Captain, aren't we going to resist? The enemy is right there!"
"Resist? Have you gone mad? They're using area-effect soul tools; charging in would turn us into cannon fodder!"
"Indeed! Our nation once prided itself on having powerful Titled Douluo and a Soul Master army, but what happened? Under the assault of their soul tools, we were almost instantly melted away!"
"This war is just a suicide mission! Even the Xingluo Empire was annihilated within three days, what resistance can we possibly put up!"
"Everyone, quickly take off your military uniforms, maybe we can still save our lives!"
Qian Yu narrowed his eyes and instantly charged toward the direction from which the voices came…
He could see in front of him stood thousands of Soul Masters and soldiers…
Yet, even so, hardly anyone had a trace of fighting spirit, and what filled their pupils was more fear and dread!
Qian Yu casually grabbed a Soul Master and asked in confusion, "Can you tell me what's happening right now?"
The questioned Soul Master's eyes widened, "What's happening? You can't possibly be unaware that the war has started, can you?"
"Flee while the enemy's Soul Master troop hasn't arrived yet! Our Sky Soul Empire and the Xingluo Empire teamed up to resist the Sun-Moon Empire, but the Xingluo Empire was instantly annihilated. This war is impossible to fight!"
"Had it not been for the damn Sun-Moon Empire releasing a tenth-grade offensive soul tool before the war, which decimated nearly eighty percent of our Soul Masters and soldiers, how could we have lost the war so easily!"
"It's too late to say anything now! The Sun-Moon Empire's unification of the Continent is an unstoppable force!"
After hearing these words, Qian Yu decisively unleashed his Divine Power and continued to move forward…
Perhaps, at the Sun-Moon Empire he could inquire about something…
Seeing Qian Yu charging headfirst, one of the Soul Masters couldn't stand it and loudly reminded, "Hey! Kid! What are you running off to? The nation is about to fall, what's the point in marching to your death?"
Another Soul Master next to him grumbled, "Why bother with him! If he wants to die, let him. We just need to save our own skins! After all, it won't be long before there's only the Sun-Moon Empire on the Continent!"
Yet another Soul Master sighed, "Eh, this kid insists on seeking death; no one can stop him!"
…
Meanwhile, the massive moving troop of Sun-Moon Empire's Soul Master stopped all of a sudden…
A Soul Master who had gone ahead to scout returned to the formation and reported to the leading eighth-level soul master, "Report, sir, I haven't discovered any soldiers from the Sky Soul Empire on my end; they must have retreated knowing they're no match!"
Then, another Soul Master who scouted in a different direction also hurriedly ran back, respectfully saying, "Sir, I also haven't found any soldiers from the Sky Soul Empire on my side!"
The leading eighth-level soul master's lips curled into a cold smirk, "Good, since they are sensible enough to retreat, let them have a way out. Let's continue advancing! Charge directly towards the royal household of the Sky Soul Empire!"
Afterward, the Soul Masters called out loudly as they moved forward in an impressive procession…
"Long live the Sun-Moon Empire! Long live the Sun-Moon Empire!"
"Annihilate the Sky Soul Empire! Annihilate the Sky Soul Empire!"
"Long live the Sun-Moon Empire! Long live the Sun-Moon Empire!"
As for Qian Yu up ahead, the slight tremble arose within his pale golden eyes as he gazed upon the tens of thousands of Soul Masters in the enemy army…
With so many Soul Masters, even if they were using third and fourth-grade soul tools to attack, the tens of thousands raining down on him would be overwhelming even for him!
Indeed, the saying goes that quantity has a quality all its own, and nowhere is it a better example than in war!
Qian Yu thought inwardly, "I can only use soul tools now!"
If he continued like this, he would undoubtedly be spotted by this massive Soul Master army! And once his location was exposed, what would greet him would be the indiscriminate bombardment of soul tools!
Therefore, the only option for carrying out long-range, wide-area destruction now was the soul tool!
With that thought, Qian Yu quickly ran back…
When he reached a suitable position, he resolutely took out a ninth-grade soul tool from his storage soul tool!
This soul tool, unlike Qian Yu's other portable soul tools, covered an area of hundreds of meters after being fully taken out of the storage soul tool!!
One could only imagine the destructive power of this soul tool!!
