Chapter 2498: Coercion_1
Facing the sudden attack from Tang Wulin, the Abyssal Emperor was caught off guard and sent retreating for a few seconds...
The former was delighted, "The touch just now, I definitely hit him!"
After barely stabilizing his form, the Abyssal Emperor said expressionlessly, "Kid, you actually managed to hit me... as if, such a clumsy attack could only be made by the weak."
"Come on then!"
Lifting his left hand and aiming at Tang Wulin, a massive pulling force appeared once again, causing a brief stasis in the space around them...
Xie Xie, who was closest, pupils shrank, "Not good, Wulin, dodge quickly!!"
A soul ring lit up under his feet...
Twin Dragon Storm!
A golden storm unfolded at his location, blowing him away...
But he himself couldn't escape the paused space and flew straight towards the Abyssal Emperor...
Tang Wulin's heart almost split, he roared, "Xie Xie!!"
The others also showed looks of panic...
They were very clear about the outcome of being caught by the opponent, death was the only end!
The Abyssal Emperor, who accurately gripped Xie Xie's throat, felt he could snap his neck with a simple flick of his finger, and scoffed, "Tsk, sacrificing your life for a comrade? Stupid!"
Lifted into the air and with cheeks turning purple due to asphyxiation, Xie Xie spat out a mouthful of saliva...
He said intermittently, "You... you don't know shit, our human emotions... are not something... a beast like you could understand!"
Seeing the saliva staining his clothing, the Abyssal Emperor became angry, immediately increasing the force in his hand, intent on crushing him into dust!
"Die, human!!"
In desperation, Xu Xiaoyan quickly released her fourth soul skill, with chains that first coiled around everyone and then extended toward Xie Xie...
However, sensing through his spiritual power that a force was trying to interfere with him, he abruptly turned his head and shouted, "Scram!!"
This roar, like the tolling of a great bell, rang in Xu Xiaoyan's ears, causing her Spirit Sea to instantly shatter...
Her eyes rolled back, showing a lifeless expression...
Yue Zhengyu's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Xiao Yan!"
Upon seeing this, Gu Yuena immediately used her spiritual power to enter Xu Xiaoyan's spirit world and frowned, "Xiao Yan's Spirit Sea has been hit, it's likely already shattered!"
"If not repaired in time, she might well become..."
She did not say the last two words, but believed the former would understand!
Yue Zhengyu felt his hopes crumbling...
And with it came a silent rage...
His eighth soul ring lit up beneath his feet...
"Abyssal Emperor!! I'll slaughter you!!"
Eighth soul skill, Blazing Godly Slash!
The Holy Angel raised a hundred-meter tall sacred sword ablaze with raging flames, striking down with one blow!
The Abyssal Emperor raised his eyebrows, revealing a sinister smile, "I've suddenly changed my mind, you should die by your own comrade's hands instead!"
Saying so, he hurled Xie Xie towards the imminent descent of the Blazing Sword of the God-Sealing...
Lying sideways in mid-air, unable to dodge, Xie Xie watched the enlarging sword of fire before him and murmured, "Am I going to... die?"
Well, at least not by the hand of the Abyssal Emperor!
"Eighth soul skill, Heaven Shifting!"
A spatial fluctuation occurred, and Ye Xinglan's and Xie Xie's positions were suddenly swapped, followed by another use of a soul skill!
"Ninth soul skill, Starfall!"
The Star God Sword in her hands shone with an unprecedented brilliant light, confronting the sacred sword that was ten times its size!
After the collisions of the large and small swords, waves of fire erupted, and both Yue Zhengyu and Ye Xinglan were sent flying into unconsciousness...
The Abyssal Emperor revealed a hint of regret, "What a pity, I didn't get to witness the interesting scene!"
If only I had crushed that human to death just now!
Ya Li, who felt disgusted, couldn't help but rebuke, "Abyssal Emperor, though you're a Divine King, why do you still act so despicably!"
The former didn't show any change in expression, "Despicable? You are the lowest of beings; how could you possibly understand my existence!"
"Buzz!!"
The Golden Dragon Spear slipped from the hand, striking straight at the head like a sword...
It was thought to pierce through easily, but the Abyssal Emperor simply extended his left hand and blocked it solidly...
After crushing the tip of the spear, he said indifferently, "These kinds of toys, don't bother bringing them out again!"
The weight of the Golden Dragon Spear was extremely light, posing no threat to him whatsoever!
Tang Wulin wasn't surprised, and once again he said, "You could stop the Golden Dragon Spear, but what about this one!"
Gone and never returned!
It was the third form of the Golden Thirteen Halberds, as taught to him by Tang San!
The pupils of the Abyssal Emperor narrowed, "Not even the Sea God is my match, let alone you, who is not even a Third-Rank God, dare to dream of killing me?"
...
Meanwhile!
Xue Yuntian, who had learned of the situation in Soul Land only after several days' delay, looked at the ministers in front of him with an unpredictable expression...
According to the intelligence received, the power of the Abyssal Emperor had reached terrifying levels, so much so that all the powerhouses of Soul Land combined might not be able to defeat him!
One could say, it was a good time to formally declare war on Soul Land!
However, this information came from the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters, making it rather intriguing!
"What do you think?"
With courage mustered, the ministers voiced their recommendations, "Your Majesty, we cannot readily trust the words of the Holy Spirit Cult, perhaps this is just a lie they've concocted to provoke a war!"
"Indeed, a hasty declaration of war could lead to the downfall of Douling Empire if the information turns out to be inaccurate!"
"None of the vanguards we sent out from the Douling Empire have sent back any news, it's highly likely that the Holy Spirit Cult has done something behind the scenes!"
"Do we even need to guess? It's definitely the Holy Spirit Cult; there's no mistake, only they would resort to such despicable measures!"
Xue Yuntian felt impatient, "Do you think I'm not aware of this? What I'm asking is how we can verify this intelligence!"
There was no answer!
The entire Douling Empire was almost under surveillance by the Holy Spirit Cult, obtaining reliable intelligence was not so simple!
At this moment, the Ghost Emperor, who wasn't supposed to appear, stepped out from the Black Mist...
"Your Majesty the Emperor, there is no need to verify whether Soul Land has reached the end of its rope or not, because that is the reality!"
His terrifying presence made it difficult for the ministers to breathe...
Xue Yuntian glanced sideways and scolded coldly, "Ghost Emperor, although the Holy Spirit Cult cooperates with Douling Empire, don't forget this is the Douling Empire Imperial Palace, not your backyard!"
This fellow completely treated the Douling Empire Imperial Palace as his own home, coming and going as he pleased!
And doing so in front of so many ministers was undoubtedly stepping on the emperor's face!
The Ghost Emperor remained indifferent, "Your Majesty need not take offense. I am here only to remind you that if you do not declare war on Soul Land soon, the Holy Spirit Cult will cease cooperation with you!"
Xue Yuntian saw right through it!
To cease cooperation was false, the threat was true!
