……

Ming Xingyun's long retreat cry that pierced the sky ignited the last embers of panic in the hearts of the Black Nether Legion and the remnants of the Bao family.

"withdraw--!"

"go!"

"Retreat into the secret passage!"

A series of piercing cries echoed across the battlefield.

The Black Nether Guards, the core members of the Bao family, and the guards who had been fighting desperately and even launching a frenzied counterattack were thrown into chaos.

Driven by the instinct for survival, they scattered like ants being doused with boiling water, using every means to escape in all directions.

Or they could break through hidden entrances disguised as walls, floors, stoves, or even dry wells, and frantically rush into the maze-like network of underground passages that the Bao family had managed for over a century.

In the sky, the Black Sky Riders, riding bone-winged rotten vultures and shadow bats, suddenly spewed out a large plume of solidified, foul-smelling "rotten black smoke," instantly polluting a large area of ​​airspace.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Silver Flying Guards being forced to avoid the poisonous smoke and having their vision obstructed, these aerial desperados urged their mounts on, using "Shadow Shuttle" or diving directly into the ground buildings, disappearing without a trace by utilizing the complex terrain and pre-designed escape routes on rooftops and chimneys.

In the vestibular area, the amplifier and spellcaster units behind the Black Nether Legion reacted the fastest.

The Dark Soul Singer (a member of the Underworld Clan) who had once cast the "Shadow Armor" on the Legion slammed his bone staff into the ground without hesitation. A complex and dark "Shadow Stealth Array" instantly unfolded, swallowing him and several core spellcasters beside him into the surging black mist. Only distorted spatial ripples remained in his place, and he had disappeared without a trace.

The other sorcerers joined forces to unleash "Rotten Black Mist," a dense poisonous fog and mental interference that temporarily blocked the pursuers' line of sight. Taking advantage of this, they filed into the secret passage of the Bao family ancestral hall, which had already been opened.

……

Left-wing battlefield:

Among the three Black Nether Soul Douluos responsible for restraining Ximen Wenming and Zhong Feng, the tall and thin "Black Shadow Pen" Soul Douluo unleashed a thick, ink-like "Thousand Layers of Ink Shadow" from his fingertips. Taking advantage of the light mist obscuring his vision, he twisted his body strangely and used his family's secret technique "Shadow Escape - Without a Trace," silently sliding along the shadows of the ground towards the entrance of the secret passage behind the artificial mountain.

The short and stocky "Shadow Demon Commander" Soul Douluo split into several illusory "ghost clones" to confuse the view, while his main body transformed into a "ghost shockwave" that smashed through the half-collapsed courtyard wall and rolled into the ruins of the building behind, where there was obviously a pre-set escape point.

However, the Soul Douluo surrounded by gray-white mist and whose martial soul was "Bewitching Enchantress" was not so lucky.

He was about to use "Shadow Walk" to merge into the mist and pass through the wall when Zhong Feng's precise "Soul-Shaking Sound" shattered his condensed soul, causing him to pause in his movements.

Ximen Wenming's sword aura, "Karmic Fire Crimson Lotus Slash," followed closely behind. The crimson sword flames completely tore through the gray mist, leaving only a half-sounding, mournful shriek that abruptly ended.

……

Right-wing battlefield:

Upon hearing the order to retreat, the four Black Nether Soul Douluos who were restraining Gui Minghao and Fang Tingbo abruptly changed their attack. The Soul Douluo "Crimson Sand Wind Horse," clad in dark red bone armor and riding a skeletal warhorse, transformed from man and horse into a single, raging "Crimson Sand Tornado," no longer attacking but instead becoming a sandstorm barrier that obscured their vision. Then, dark red flames erupted from its four hooves—Soul Bone Skill: Burning Wind Stomp!

The ground instantly melted and collapsed, and he and his horse sank into the molten underground pit.

The petite "Electric Poison Rabbit" Contra leaped at high speed at the edge of the battlefield, each landing creating a wide-ranging "Paralyzing Corrosive Thunder Net." The dark green poison mist and scattered lightning slowed down the knights who were trying to pursue. Finally, its figure transformed into a green light "Electric Poison Flash" that left a blur, shooting into a half-open attic window and disappearing.

The Soul Douluo, lurking like a venomous snake, lashed his long whip backward—"Sixth Soul Skill: Soul Devouring Thunder Net!"
A cybernet of blue lightning and mental energy covered the pursuit route. He sneered, his body blending into the shadow of the building, and his aura quickly disappeared.

Only the enormous "Demon Ape" Soul Douluo, whose size was as large as a small mountain, was blocked from retreat by the combined forces of Gui Minghao's Mountain-Bearing Tortoise Shell and Fang Tingbo's Heaven-Suppressing Mysterious Stele, which had been used to suppress him unexpectedly, because he had charged too far ahead and was too brave.

Under the combined attack of several Soul-Breaking Spears, which were pierced from the Heavenly Fighting Knights formation and empowered by the Ninghai Glazed Tile Pagoda, he was nailed to the spot and let out a final, unwilling roar.

……

The battlefield in the backyard.

The moment Ming Xingyun let out his long roar, the "Viper Dagger" Soul Douluo made his decision.

He took the full force of Xue Dingshi's "Blazing Sword Light" that grazed past him (his shoulder was charred black), and used the momentum to fly backward. In mid-air, his body suddenly blurred and twisted—"Soul Bone Skill: Snake Shedding Substitute"!
A substitute, formed from soul power and blood essence, remained in place to draw the fatal blow from Schrödinger, while the real body transformed into an almost transparent gray line, "swimming" along the shadows on the ground into a nearby kitchen that had been half-collapsed, lifting a grease-covered wooden plank and disappearing into the tunnel.

The "Dark Fire Lizard" Soul Douluo was the most ferocious and direct. Facing Xue Dingshi's pursuit, he roared and his dark red lava carapace erupted with astonishing heat—"Seventh Soul Skill: Dark Flame Lava True Body"!
He withstood another slash from the glowing sword (the shell on his back cracked even deeper), and the enormous impact accelerated his descent into the ground.

"Secret Technique: Lava Earth Escape!"

He slammed his fists into the ground, and the point of contact instantly softened and melted, forming a bubbling, scorching hole. He sank in as if he were burrowing into a swamp. The scorching lava quickly cooled and solidified, sealing the entrance, leaving only a dark red pit that smelled of sulfur.

However, the "Dark Wind Spear" Soul Douluo was not so lucky. He tried to break through with "Black Fiend Whirlwind", but Qin Luguang's "Blood Shadow Divine Spear" cut off his retreat. Yang Guisan seized the opportunity and used his fifth soul skill "Break" which was full of the intent of the Soul Breaking Spear to accurately pierce through his heart meridian. The spear shattered and he died, and his body fell to the ground.

As for Qiu Ba, he had already been killed by Qin Luguang, and his body was still warm.

The moment the long howl rang out, Bao Yongzhi, the head of the family, disappeared without a trace.

In the family's core secret chamber, only an ancient teleportation soul tool with a dim glow and a shattered core array plate remained, along with faint spatial fluctuations in the air—he had already taken his most trusted confidants and the family's secret treasures and left through this last escape route.

They even have teleportation soul tools? No wonder it's the Crimson Church.

Under the radiant glow of the Ninghai Glazed Pagoda, the Flying God Guards of the Heavenly Fighting Knights pursued the figures leaping over walls and rooftops, unleashing a dense barrage of "Wind-Breaking Spears."

The ground knight squad swept away the remaining enemies like a comb, with Schrödinger's lightsaber, Qin Luguang's Blood Shadow Demon Spear, and Yang Guisan's Soul-Shattering Spear Shadow constantly exploding in the fleeing crowd.

Although Chen Qingrui was seriously injured, with Xia Lechuan's full efforts to treat him, he commanded the guards of the Soul Arena and the Imperial Guards of the Medicine Market to wipe out the remaining enemies and seal off the tunnel exit.

With its flight and sharp vision, the owl guided the pursuit from the air.
