For a long while, Nanali finally covered her forehead, her bloodshot eyes staring intently at Xu Sheng, her face no longer possessing its previous composure...
She cursed internally, "Damn it, how could I encounter him here! Merely a glance from him has torn my sea of knowledge into a ragged mess!"
She had actually forgotten about this man who even the Demon Emperor feared!
Xu Sheng remained composed as he said, "Dark Bell, what is your purpose in leading these evil Soul Masters back to the Soul Land?"
Nanali pressed her thin lips together and said with wariness, "I am merely following the Demon Emperor's orders to re-establish strongholds on the Soul Land!"
Xu Sheng revealed a refined smile, "Good, then tell me, why did you injure my student to such an extent?"
Naturally, he was referring to the blood-covered Xu Xiaoyan!
Upon hearing this, Nanali's brows knit together slightly, "I had no intention of killing them! That girl was injured by the backlash of her own soul skill!"
This was indeed the truth!
Seeing the situation, Xu Xiaoyan didn't lie either and softly acknowledged with a "Hmm!", "Teacher Xu, this injury is indeed caused by the backlash of a soul skill!"
When she was unleashing the Starwheel Shackles against the Ultimate Douluo, she had already anticipated this!
But fortunately, she succeeded in buying Wu Changkong some time to catch his breath!
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng said indifferently, "Regardless, the fact remains that you have harmed my student, so tell me, will it be your hands or your life that you leave behind?"
Felling the killing intent in his words, Nanali's pupils contracted...
Continuing to stay here would surely mean death!!
In an instant, she burst forth with a terrifying speed, attempting to escape!
However, how could Xu Sheng possibly allow her to do as she wished? Without hesitation, he unleashed his Martial Soul...
As the ice blue Rose Sword appeared in his hands, the first soul ring at his feet lit up...
Almost instantly, an enormous Domain like an icy tundra erupted, swiftly sealing the surrounding space in ice. Nanali hadn't gotten far before her entire body was encased in bone-chilling diamond dust...
No matter how she struggled, she couldn't mobilize her Soul Power!
Even taking a single step was so difficult!
Xu Sheng approached her calmly and under her gaze of despair, he reached out, grabbed her neck, and hoisted her into midair...
"Since you're not inclined to answer, then I shall make the decision!"
With that, he gripped the Ice Rose Sword tightly and thrust it towards her heart...
Just then, Tang Wulin, who had been wrestling with his conscience, couldn't help but interject, "Teacher Xu, could you spare her life?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue and the others all showed looks of astonishment...
Yue Zhengyu was the first to rebuke him, "Wulin, do you realise what you're saying? If Teacher Xu hadn't arrived in time, we all might have died at her hands!"
Yuanen Yehui echoed, "Exactly, Wulin. Eradicating evil Soul Masters has always been the duty of us Shrek students!!"
Xie Xie shouted angrily, "Wulin, have you lost your mind? That woman is one of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, we absolutely cannot let her go!"
Gu Yue also said gravely, "Wulin, this is not the time to be soft-hearted!"
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and said emphatically, "I know that saying this might be unacceptable to everyone!"
"But after our last encounter with Dark Bell, I've been wondering, with our strength at the time, could we really have escaped under the senses of that Ultimate Douluo?"
"Clearly, that was impossible. The only reason is that Dark Bell had no intention of killing us at all!"
"For that reason, I hope Teacher Xu can spare her, as a way to offset the last favor! If we encounter her again, we, the Shrek Seven Monsters, will personally take her down!"
Despite knowing that saying these things might lead to misunderstanding among his peers, he still had to say them!
After hearing all this, Gu Yue and the others simply stared at him in silence, "Wulin..."
Indeed, with the strength of the Dark Bell, there were many opportunities to kill them in an instant, yet she did not do so!
Perhaps, what the former said was indeed the truth!
The Dark Bell did not intent to kill them!
Even Nanali, whose neck was being clasped and who had given up on resisting, showed an incredulous expression in her beautiful eyes, "This guy..."
She never would have thought that at such a time, this child named Tang Wulin would actually plead for her, an enemy!
Only Wu Changkong interrupted in a cold voice, "Wulin, don't be naive, an evil Soul Master is an evil Soul Master, no matter what, they must be annihilated!"
To show compassion to an enemy is to harm oneself and one's comrades!
Tang Wulin immediately retorted, "Teacher Wu, I still stand firm in my choice, of course, if Teacher Xu insists on killing the Dark Bell, I will have no complaints!"
Wu Changkong had an expression of hating that he could not forge steel from iron, "Wulin, you..."
If it hadn't been for the Immortal Herbs, he would have been dead already!
He could never understand why Tang Wulin would have compassion for an evil Soul Master!
At this moment, Xu Sheng let out a meaningful smile...
"Good, worthy of being my student, you have spirit. I will leave her life for you to take in the future!"
Having said that, he released the Ice Rose Domain, allowing Nanali to regain her movements...
Wu Changkong, in a tone of incomprehension, said, "Xu Sheng, how could even you..."
Before he could finish, Xu Sheng asked in return, "Teacher Wu, don't you believe in these kids?"
Wu Changkong seemed to know that no more words would help, choosing to close his eyes...
But from the soul power fluctuation emanating from him, his heart was not at peace!
Xu Sheng then turned his gaze towards Nanali, "Alright, leave now before I change my mind!"
Nanali revealed a bitter smile, "I never thought that a moment of soft-heartedness back then would actually save my life."
After taking a deep look at Tang Wulin, she murmured, "Tang Wulin, I'll remember you!"
Having spoken, she transformed into a cloud of black mist and vanished...
Tang Wulin, as if he had lost all his strength, hung his head down and said, "Everyone, you must be disappointed in me, right?"
Yue Zhengyu shook his head and patted his shoulder, "No, Wulin, after giving it some thought, I think you were right! Although she is an evil Soul Master, she is also a respectable enemy and should perish at the hands of us, the Shrek Seven Monsters."
Xie Xie also spoke with full fighting spirit, "Exactly, with our talents, we'll be able to kill her ourselves sooner or later!"
Xu Xiaoyan consoled, "Wulin, don't feel pressured, she spared us once, and we spared her life in return, it's even now!"
Ye Xinglan stood tall, clearly stating, "Just an Ultimate Douluo, she can't possibly pose a problem for us, the Shrek Seven Monsters, right?"
Xu Lizhi chimed in, "Yeah! We have to defeat her with our own strength!"
Wu Changkong coldly glanced at Tang Wulin and the others, expressionlessly turning to Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, they are in your hands now, I'll take my leave!"
He didn't wait for a response before disappearing on the spot...
