Chapter 484
Below, seeing Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong being taken away by Kong Deming, Du Bushi panicked, instinctively wanting to follow and help them fight.
However, at this moment Song Lao suddenly blocked him.
"Don't panic, this matter was already anticipated by the two of them."
Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong had long guessed that they would be isolated from the battlefield by the Ri Yue Di Guo using every possible means; otherwise, it would be impossible to hand that weapon over to her.
She gazed solemnly at the three Hands of the Nation opposite.
"We'll fight down here first; after we deal with these soul engineer teams, we'll go up to help the two of them."
At this moment, just like the battle at the Ming Dou Shanmai before, the battlefield was divided into three levels.
However, compared to that battle back then, the participants' levels in this battle are far higher.
At the very top are Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong facing the two strongest of the Ri Yue Di Guo, with all five participants being existences of the Limit Douluo level.
The middle battlefield consists of almost all the Honored Douluo of the original three countries of the Douluo Continent, facing the remaining three Hands of the Nation and the Evil Soul Masters of the Ri Yue Di Guo, with the leader Du Bushi having also reached the Limit Douluo level.
The lower battlefield features the eight ordinary soul engineer teams of the Ri Yue Di Guo facing an army of tens of thousands of soul masters.
This magnificent battle scene, even when looking back over the entire history of the Douluo Continent, is absolutely unprecedented.
Song Lao suddenly swayed his body, then transformed into an azure-shadow divine eagle, saying:
"Old Poison, Old Xuanbing, I'll cover for you; act according to Huo Yutong's mental detection instructions."
Yes, Kong Deming has made another huge mistake.
Soul masters possess a myriad of soul skills; even if they are forcibly pulled off the battlefield, some soul masters may still influence the battle's outcome through special means.
And Huo Yutong is one of them; her mental detection net covers the entire battlefield, enveloping all soul masters of Soul Saint level and above within the range of Mental Detection Sharing, assisting them in combat.
It is also because she made extensive preparations beforehand that she and Tang Wulin dare to go up to the sky to fight Kong Deming; otherwise, as Kong Deming said, with the strength of those from the original three countries of the Douluo Continent below, facing the three Hands of the Nation led by the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps, their strength would still be somewhat lacking.
Upon hearing this, Du Bushi nodded heavily, and immediately a kilometer-tall dark-green giant appeared in the sky.
He let out three wild laughs, the laughter even shattering the cloud layers, then he fiercely stretched out his big hand and swung it directly at the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps.
The Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps naturally would not sit and wait for death; a fierce black beam shot out, colliding with Du Bushi's fist.
"Boom——"
A violent roaring sound rang out; Du Bushi's massive body lurched backward several hundred meters before barely stopping, this exchange clearly putting him at a disadvantage.
At the same time, the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Corps and the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps had also gathered their power, two soul engineer beams shooting toward Du Bushi without hesitation.
Their thought at this moment is simple: 'We can't deal with those two monsters, but handling you shouldn't be too difficult, right?' And they're not wrong—under the effect of the Linked Soul Conductor, the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Corps and the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps can even approach Limit Douluo strength; the combat power of the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps is such that even Tang Wulin, aided by his martial soul fusion, feels wary, and with their strength, eliminating Du Bushi, who has just broken through to Limit Douluo, is no great feat.
But there is a big premise: that Du Bushi is only one person.
"Clang!"
With a clear, loud crash, a huge kirin nearly three hundred meters tall suddenly appeared on this battlefield.
This kirin is entirely azure-blue, continuously emanating a chill that seems able to freeze a person's soul.
This is the martial soul true body of Ye Yu. He suddenly lifts his head, and a azure-blue light shoots from the horn on his head, aiming at the soul engineer beam fired by the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Corps.
The fiery red and azure-blue lights collide; in the end, Ye Yu's attack gains the upper hand, forcibly blocking the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Corps' attack.
Now the members of the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Corps are all dumbfounded.
Tang Wulin ignoring their attacks was bad enough, but now another strong one has appeared who can easily block their attacks.
Is this the strength of top-tier experts? Following Du Bushi and Ye Yu, one after another, bizarre huge figures began to appear in the sky above.
Tigers, leopards, wolves, flowers, grasses, insects, birds, sun, moon, stars, winds and clouds—all manner of martial soul true bodies blossomed in the air, each participating in the battle in its own way.
The Tianyang Douluo held up a gigantic sun in his hands; under its boundless radiance, he joined with several fire-attributed Honored Douluo powerhouses to block the powerful attack of the Imperial Dragon Soul Engineer Corps.
On Zhang Lexuan's body, the eighth blood-red soul ring suddenly blazed; behind her, the silver moon instantly turned blood-red, emitting rays of light that caused ripples to spread across the Linked Soul Conductor's shield, consuming the opponent's soul power.
The Xingchen Douluo raised both hands to the sky; the dazzling starlight unceasingly encircled the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps, blocking their directions of movement.
Two Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons let out earth-shaking roars, charging with endless blue lightning toward the Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Sect.
There are far too many similar scenes; although the three Hands of the Nation have more people, they now have a strange feeling of being surrounded instead.
After reaching Honored Douluo, a soul master's martial soul true body combat power becomes so exaggeratedly strong that at least it cannot be settled in one blow by the Linked Soul Conductor of the Beast King Soul Engineer Corps.
What they must simultaneously face is a frenzied assault from over a hundred Honored Douluo who have unleashed their martial soul true bodies.
Even if the Holy Spirit Sect's members help alleviate pressure from the side, it's merely a drop in the bucket.
Although the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps possesses the power to instantly kill an ordinary Honored Douluo with a single strike, their opponents are of a far higher caliber.
Led by Du Bushi, the Titled Douluo of the original three countries of the Douluo Continent gave their all to stall them.
Even a combined attack from nearly forty Titled Douluo would be difficult for the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps to easily overcome, especially when the opposing side also has a Limit Douluo powerhouse absorbing damage.
The battle thus fell into a stalemate; the three Hands of the Nation struggle to defeat these powerful foes, and the Honored Douluo of the original three countries of the Douluo Continent cannot quickly break through the iron-shell-like shield formed by the Linked Soul Conductor's barrier.
However, if things continue to develop this way, the normal outcome will be the defeat of the strong ones from the original three countries of the Douluo Continent.
After all, as time passes, more and more strong fighters have left the battlefield due to injury or even death, while the Hands of the Nation consume only soul power.
Moreover, for this expedition, the Ri Yue Di Guo specially equipped each member of the three Hands of the Nation with multiple sealed milk bottles, in order to prolong their sustained combat ability, allowing them to dominate the battlefield for a long time using the Linked Soul Conductor.
In contrast, the strong ones from the original three countries of the Douluo Continent recover soul power much more slowly, and moreover, due to prolonged use of their martial soul true bodies, their soul power consumption is even more intense than that of the Hands of the Nation.
As for the Holy Spirit Sect, these Evil Soul Masters are just slacking off the whole time; Evil Soul Masters are selfish, and at present they only want to linger a bit longer on the battlefield, trying every way to increase their own strength, and unless their lives are threatened, they will not exert their full effort in battle.
As soon as the battlefield begins to tilt toward the Ri Yue side, these ever-slacking Evil Soul Masters will reveal their sharp fangs and devour the strong ones from the original three countries of the Douluo Continent completely.
Both sides are fully aware of this, so the Ri Yue Di Guo's soul engineers unconsciously began to show relaxed smiles on their faces.
They seemed to have already seen the imminent future of victory.
And this slight carelessness became the most direct cause of their defeat.
A cyan figure fell like lightning, bringing them death.
