Chapter 487

The battle situation changed too fast; just a moment ago, the three Guardian Hands of the Ri Yue Di Guo held the advantage, but in the blink of an eye they were almost completely wiped out, with less than ten seconds between.

If we had to say who made the biggest contribution, it must be Song Lao, who broke through the linked soul tool shield.

She returned to human form in midair, let out a slight sigh of relief, and smiled as she gripped tightly the Blade of Life's Guard in her hand.

Before rushing to the battlefield, Huo Yutong had handed her this inconspicuous little dagger.

She had long anticipated that the battle would develop this way, so she had already handed over the Life-Guarding Blade, a great killer, to Song Lao.

Only with Song Lao's astonishing speed could the power of this soul-tool assassin be fully displayed.

After devising a way to gather the three Guardian Hands together and lure them into carelessness, Song Lao unleashed his full strength, using his terrifying speed advantage to instantly reverse the battlefield situation.

「Tsk! 」

Seeing this scene, as the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, Zhongli Wu finally could not stay seated.

Because the situation changed too quickly, he and his subordinate Evil Soul Masters were unable to react immediately.

By the time they came to their senses, the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps had already been completely wiped out.

And many strong opponents remained.

Zhongli Wu gritted his teeth, flashed back several hundred meters, where a huge staff appeared in the air before him, which he grabbed, raised high, and from which terrifying black currents burst forth.

Next, a gigantic dragon skeleton appeared behind him.

「Holy Spirit Sect, retreat! 」

Originally, Zhongli Wu had thought the soul masters of the Ri Yue Di Guo and the three original countries of the Douluo Continent would fight to mutual exhaustion, after which the Holy Spirit Sect would reap the benefits.

But in an instant, it turned into the three Guardian Hand-level soul tool corps of the Ri Yue Di Guo suffering a total defeat, and now the Holy Spirit Sect had to face the pressure brought by over a hundred Honored Douluo.

The Holy Spirit Sect is not the Ri Yue Royal Soul Engineer Corps; at most they have twenty Honored Douluo, a few Titled Douluo, and cannot possibly stand against the great army formed by the top combat power of the three original countries of the Douluo Continent at this time.

Seeing no chance of victory, Zhongli Wu did not want to fight; in his view, the Ri Yue Di Guo's defeat was certain, so it was better to quickly flee with the Holy Spirit Sect's strong ones.

The problem is, the battlefield is not a place where he can come and go as he pleases; just moments ago he was thinking of reaping the benefits, and now he must pay the price.

The strong ones of the three original countries of the Douluo Continent, led by Du Bushi, had no intention of letting them go; releasing even a single Honored Douluo-level Evil Soul Master would be a huge danger to all people of the continent.

Terrifying light burst forth all at once, shooting toward Zhongli Wu and the others.

Zhongli Wu, while controlling the huge bone dragon to block in front of him, muttered incantations, preparing to release a powerful soul skill.

However, at this moment a jade-green figure swiftly approached, punched open the bone dragon, and brutally swung a huge hand toward him.

This was none other than the sole Limit Douluo present, Du Bushi, who had at this point canceled his Golden Rank Body Martial Soul Second Awakening and come to face Zhongli Wu.

「Tch! 」

Zhongli Wu's face changed, and he hastily raised his staff to block.

「Bang! 」

A dull sound rang out, and Zhongli Wu was blown away dozens of meters in an instant.

That said, his expression instead faintly brightened.

However, against an attack of this level, if he really wanted to flee, he could still escape.

It seems the earlier fight indeed took a considerable toll on Du Bushi; his performance before had been far better than this. While flying backward, Zhongli Wu raised his staff high, and his sixth and seventh soul rings lit up simultaneously.

Instantly, a figure rose behind Zhongli Wu—not large, about the same size as his body—but the moment it appeared, everyone present felt their hearts clench.

His mother Ye Xi Shui's martial soul is the Blood Soul Magic Puppet, already the highest grade of evil martial soul, yet the quality of Zhongli Wu's martial soul is even higher by a notch.

His martial soul is called the Death God Magic Puppet, so his title is the same as his mother's: Death God.

When Ye Xi Shui dies in the future and he advances to Limit Douluo, he will become the next Death God Douluo.

At this moment, as the Death God appeared, the world was shocked; countless wailing voices of the dead rose, shaking some lower-cultivation Honored Douluo until their faces showed pain.

Zhongli Wu recalled the Bone Dragon King, stood upon it, and began to flee swiftly into the distance.

Not only him, but the remaining Evil Soul Master Honored Douluo also sprang into action, each using their divine abilities, preparing to escape.

It must be said, as street rats of the three original countries of the Douluo Continent, Evil Soul Masters generally have strong escape abilities; if they truly want to flee, they are indeed not easy to deal with.

Therefore, at such a time, specialized preparatory measures are needed.

The sky, originally overcast with dark clouds, suddenly turned icy blue, and in an instant everyone's movements slowed.

Terrifying ice element instantly filled the air, nearly freezing the soul power of the Evil Soul Masters.

This is precisely Ye Yu's ninth soul skill, one of the hundred-thousand-year soul skills, the Profound Ice Extreme Cold Domain.

After possessing the ultimate ice attribute, his domain skill is now nearly on par with that of a Limit Douluo, instantly freezing all Honored Douluo-level Evil Soul Masters.

During the earlier fight, he had not exerted his full strength, because Huo Yutong, via mental detection, directed him to conserve strength in preparation for dealing with Zhongli Wu.

Du Bushi had just used his Golden Rank Body Martial Soul Second Awakening; although he did not lose combat power, the consumption was also great.

If an existence like Zhongli Wu truly wanted to flee, even a Limit Douluo would struggle to hold him back, let alone the over-exhausted Du Bushi; therefore, multiple people must cooperate.

The Holy Spirit Sect hides its own strength, and he, as the hall master of the Star Net Empire's Worship Hall, is no exception.

Zhongli Wu's face instantly turned horribly bad.

He instantly judged that this ice-attributed old man was not someone he could handle.

Just then, a tremendous roar suddenly echoed through the clouds.

Afterward, everyone felt a violent suction coming from the heavens, not only wanting to suck their bodies upward, but even their souls faintly feeling as if they wanted to leave their bodies.

The Honored Douluo quickly steadied their forms, concentrating their spirit to resist this sudden change.

They could block it, but the low-level soul masters on the ground could not.

Countless white specks of light rapidly rose to the heavens; starting from the lowest rank, countless soul masters had their souls drawn out, and these souls all drifted upward into the sky.

Following closely behind the souls came a vast number of corpses.

Zhongli Wu's eyes lit up.

Who was fighting in the battlefield above the sky he knew better than anyone present, so he was the first to realize what had happened.

He felt that the situation might still have a turning point?
