The Ming Emperor's pupils dilated, revealing an indisputable expression, "What, Ghost Emperor, you..."
At the time, the Ghost Emperor did not turn on him, so he chose to trust the other party!
But unexpectedly, after the true breakthrough to the God Rank, he completely changed his previous attitude!
The Ghost Emperor seemed to see through his thoughts and once again revealed a harmless smile, "Don't worry, I will rule over the entire Continent for the Holy Spirit Cult, including your share."
"So, go with peace of mind!"
Realizing what was happening, the Ming Emperor roared, "Don't even think about it!!"
With these words, he exerted all his strength, trying to flee the place...
Then, facing his actions, the Ghost Emperor merely shook his head in disappointment, "Foolish, you should know that struggling in front of me is useless."
Having spoken, he slowly reached out his hand towards the other's retreating figure, and in an instant, the entire space seemed to come to a halt...
The Ming Emperor was forcibly compressed in place, unable to take a single step...
He could only watch, wide-eyed, as the Ghost Emperor approached him...
A sense of fear surged up again, as he spoke in an almost trembling voice, "Ghost Emperor, killing me is meaningless, why not..."
He had not easily survived from the hands of that Tang Wulin—how could he die here!
However, the Ghost Emperor had no intention of listening to his words, reaching out his hand and pressing it on his skull, "Silence!"
Then, he injected a blood-red Divine Power into it...
The Ming Emperor immediately felt numerous forces crazily eroding his Spirit Sea, and everything began to collapse...
Even his consciousness was gradually fading away...
"Aaarghhhhh!!"
Accompanying a piercing scream, the Ming Emperor suddenly buried his head, his eyes empty, showing not a sign of intellect...
Like a puppet manipulated by strings...
Satisfied, the Ghost Emperor finally spoke, "Although I could have killed you, we've partnered for so many years; I'll leave your body to continue contributing to the Holy Spirit Cult!"
The Ming Emperor was, after all, an Ultimate Douluo and still of some use!
At this moment, as the sky had stopped showering light...
All the powerful contenders below attacked at once...
Upon seeing the scene before them, they all showed an air of wariness...
Guo Xiaoxu stared intently at the Ghost Emperor and said in a deep voice, "The aura of the Ghost Emperor... is beyond that of an Ultimate Douluo. It's very likely... he has broken into the God Rank!"
Liang Xiaoyu, with a grim expression, agreed, "No... not only that, he seems to have turned the Ming Emperor into a puppet, truly losing all humanity!"
"It seems we guessed right, the purpose of the Ghost Emperor inciting this war is to break through his bottleneck by using the soul blood of Soul Masters!"
"God... God Rank, even if we join forces, we might not be able to match the Ghost Emperor. Perhaps we should... retreat first?"
"The thought is good... but this guy might not let us off the hook!"
The Ghost Emperor glanced at them and replied calmly, "Correct, today, you will all die here!"
Guo Xiaoxu shouted angrily, "Ghost Emperor, don't think just because you've broken into the God Rank..."
Before he could finish, Liang Xiaoyu placed his hand on his shoulder and asked coldly, "Ghost Emperor, what have you done to the Sea God Pavilion Master?"
The Ghost Emperor feigned contemplation, then revealed a cruel smile, "The Sea God Pavilion Master? You mean that kid surnamed Tang, right... Unfortunately, he should've been pierced through the chest by me, he may have died by now."
That strike of mine nearly destroyed most of the meridians in his chest, and even with formidable regenerative abilities, survival would be difficult!
Upon hearing this, Guo Xiaoxu's whole being shattered...
He could no longer restrain himself!
A Soul Ring beneath his feet flickered, and he charged toward the other...
Who would have thought, the Ghost Emperor's expression remained unchanged, simply waving his hand dismissively, "Insects."
"Boom!"
An enormous force materialized out of nowhere, sending Guo Xiaoxu flying...
Liang Xiaoyu hurriedly rushed over, asking with concern, "Hall Master Guo, are you alright?"
Guo Xiaoxu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and shook her head, "It's nothing serious, but this guy has indeed ascended to God Rank..."
"Today, it's possible that we may really meet our deaths here!"
Liang Xiaoyu did not deny it, "Mm... It's just Wulin, that kid died by his hands, despite having... the potential to become a God in the future!"
"However... even if we are to die, we must let the Ghost Emperor know that Soul Land is not a place where he can do as he pleases!"
With that said, he glanced sideways at the other Soul Master experts, "Everyone, please lend us your strength!"
Clearly, everyone knew that against the Ghost Emperor, who had broken through to God Rank, running away was pointless, but fighting might offer a glimmer of hope!
Everyone was prepared for a fight to the death...
Seeing this, the Ghost Emperor seemed interested, crossing his arms and saying, "Interesting, planning to fight a desperate battle against me? However, it's a pity... the power of a God is vastly different from yours!"
"However... If you are willing to come to me, carrying the heads of your companions, perhaps I can spare you a path to life!"
In his eyes, these humans were nothing more than ants!
Utterly incapable of resisting him!
Killing them outright couldn't showcase his strength; it would be more interesting to have them kill each other!
Upon hearing this, the Soul Master experts underwent a subtle change of heart...
Carrying a companion's head might give them a chance to live...
Realizing that the Ghost Emperor was trying to sow discord with his words, Guo Xiaoxu immediately shouted, "Everyone, don't believe the Ghost Emperor's words, even if you do as he says, you won't be able to live!"
Liang Xiaoyu also spoke urgently, "That's right, the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master has always been despicable and shameless, how could he possibly keep his promises!"
Anyone who could abandon a companion without hesitation couldn't be trusted!
Hearing this, everyone snapped back to reality, their eyes regaining firmness...
Indeed, the words of the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master could not be trusted!
They almost fell for the enemy's trickery!
Seeing his plan disrupted, the murderous intent in the Ghost Emperor's eyes, hidden beneath his mask, began to surge...
He glared at Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu, "You two fools are really seeking death!"
"But it's fine, I'll use you to test my power!"
The next second, he unleashed a surge of Divine Power that, with its mere diffusion, made the whole space tremble...
But that wasn't the end...
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
With a thought from the Ghost Emperor, the surging qi in the air above coalesced into a ghostly claw hundreds of meters in size, bearing down menacingly on Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu...
Liang Xiaoyu's body trembled involuntarily, but he still mustered courage to say, "Such terrifying might... Hall Master Guo, let's take action together!"
Guo Xiaoxu gave a slight nod, "Okay!!"
In an instant, the Soul Rings at their feet lit up...
Together, they released their soul skills towards the ghostly claw that could blot out the sun...
"Boom!!"
However, after colliding, they were only able to stalemate for a few seconds before Guo Xiaoxu and her companion were obliterated by the ghostly claw, which smashed them towards the ground...
