Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 258 Escape
The Soul Master in charge of the raid escaped, but Poison Undying, who acted as bait to attract fire, is still trapped in the encirclement of the Soul Guidance Legion!

Especially as the legions stationed around Mingdu arrived one by one, three more level-nine experts personally joined the attack on Poison Undying, which greatly increased the pressure on him.

Even the strongest true form cannot withstand unlimited bombardment!
Three level nines used their shields to get close and block his attacks, while Ye Yulin, high in the sky, was responsible for ranged attacks. Even though the former were being thrashed around like a ball by him, they didn't suffer much real damage.

But Ye Yulin, who was freed from the entanglement, was different...

A fully charged attack really hurts when it hits you.

In order to prolong the time as much as possible, Poison Undying's true form must be extended by conserving soul power. The resulting pressure and losses will definitely not be low. If this continues, he may really be worn down to death by these guys.

"Ten breaths! We must find a way to break through in just ten more breaths!"

Poison Undying was breathing heavily. The green waves that had been surging with the movement of its fists were almost exhausted, and its huge true form began to become transparent.

Just then, several drum-like sounds suddenly came from the ground below.

The next moment, the area, spanning over a hundred feet in length and width, expanded and collapsed amidst the sudden burst of soul power, like a dome being rapidly shattered by an explosion, with debris flying everywhere.

The Soul Guidance Legion guarding the vicinity was the first to be engulfed by the dazzling Soul Power light, and even the Soul Guidance Shield they were struggling to maintain was torn in half.

Martial Soul True Form…

The Martial Soul True Forms activated by six Title Douluos simultaneously!

Unlike Poison Undying, they had no reason to hold back. As soon as they released their true forms, they unleashed a burst of soul skill light, with the power of ten level seven fixed equipment exploding at the same time.

The impenetrable defensive line collapsed instantly.

"Return to provide support? What about Mingde Hall?"

Ye Yulin's expression was not good, and she glanced discreetly a few times in the direction where Sun Moon Academy and the Imperial Palace were located.

According to Xu Tianran's original plan, Mingde Hall could suffer heavy damage, but the attackers absolutely could not be allowed to escape. After all, Mingde Hall was the face and sacred site of their Sun Moon Empire, and allowing others to enter and exit at will would only be a disgrace.

"Alas...internal strife is detrimental to the country!"

After several thoughts, Ye Yulin could only sigh with resentment, glance at Du Busi who was retreating from the battlefield under the cover of several elders, give up the idea of ​​continuing the pursuit, and retrieve his badly damaged high-altitude soul tool.

The root of the whole incident was nothing more than the open and covert struggle between Xu Tianran and Xu Guozhong.

As a representative of the interests of a small part of the military, the royal family, and the nobility, Xu Guozhong successfully won over a group of forces that originally supported other princes, becoming the second political core of the Sun Moon Empire. All his actions were aimed at challenging Xu Tianran, who was trying to purge the upper echelons of the Sun Moon Empire.

He will definitely not let go of this opportunity to criticize Xu Tianran's governance through the attack, so it is understandable that he remains inactive.

However, Xu Tianran, as the crown prince, was also planning to integrate Mingde Hall. He deliberately wanted to cause trouble for Jing Hongchen, and only sent out his military forces to help when the main force of Mingde Hall was pulled to the ground battlefield.

"Elder Ye?"

Upon seeing Ye Yulin suddenly withdraw from the battle, the remaining three level-nine soul masters immediately changed their expressions: "We can't let the attacker escape!"

“How can we stop them now… Nearly half of the high-altitude soul tools have been destroyed due to overload. What means do I have to stop them?” Ye Yulin exchanged glances with Du Busi on the ground for a few seconds, his sharpness turning into helplessness: “If I were to reach the Super Realm right now, then there might be a possibility of giving it a try.”

"Sect Master, the brats have already gone far ahead!"

After making sure the passage below was empty, the elder reached out and scooped up Poison Undying: "It's time to leave."

"Ha ha……"

Poison Immortal smirked and laughed loudly at the scattered Soul Masters: "Then let's go!"

Before he finished speaking, Du Busi's eighth and ninth soul rings flashed with dazzling light, unleashing green soul power at the protective barrier that had already been broken by several elders.

"The Netherworld: A Feast for the Dead!"

The terrifying, chillingly colored poisonous gas turned into bubbles, which were then swept away in all directions by waves of soul power, covering the nearby streets.

If left unchecked, this poisonous gas could spread across several kilometers, turning a corner of Mingdu into a poisonous zone, and millions of people would be within its deadly range.

"Quickly, save them!"

Ye Yulin was clearly surprised that the old man was so decisive, actually using civilian lives as a bargaining chip to cover the retreat. He immediately led a large number of soul masters to scatter and fly away, creating a super-large soul guide shield to envelop the poison tide.

While Du Bu Si and his gang took the opportunity to burrow underground, the bombs buried inside were detonated one by one, causing the entire tunnel, which was over 500 meters long, to collapse and block the tunnel.

Of course, even if these people stayed on the ground to continue fighting Ye Yulin and the others, they wouldn't be afraid... The Body Sect has more than just one Super Douluo who can be poisoned to death, so they can easily withstand Ye Yulin's excessive exhaustion.

But if they continue to fight head-on, they might get targeted from afar by the enraged Jing Hongchen, who might unleash his level nine fixed equipment.

"Finished packaging...finished packaging!"

As Poison Undying swiftly traversed the tunnel, his eyes flashed, and he sighed repeatedly: "The coming era will definitely belong to soul tools. No matter how strong a soul master is, unless they reach their limit, they can only resort to petty tricks like surprise attacks, decapitations, or even assassinations!"

Although the members of the Body Sect generally rejected soul tools, he, as the sect leader, like Mu En, deeply felt the reversal of combat power brought about by soul tool technology.

The reason for planning this attack was not only because he had reached a cooperation agreement with the Heavenly Soul Empire, but also because the Body Sect needed to seize an opportunity to ride the wave of the times.

However, all changes require sufficient time and a powerful entity to safeguard them.

"Huo Yuhao... By the way, how is Huo Yuhao?"

When Du Busi thought of this, he suddenly remembered the twin body that was stuck in the group of Soul Masters.

If there were such a strong leader to lead the Body Sect, his fondness for soul tools would be enough to overcome the resentment of these troublemakers and successfully promote soul tools, preventing them from wavering on the path of reform like Shrek Academy.

"Lord Sect Leader——"

Faced with his question, the elders were momentarily speechless. Finally, the one who had spoken up to offer advice continued, "We may have arrived too late..."
