Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

Seeing that even their own Soul Emperor might not be able to easily withstand the Soul Guidance Firepower, they were actually reversed by Shi Kun, a member of the Di'ao team who was making his first appearance on the field, with a single shield.

Sun Moon Team Captain Ma Rulong's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply, "Not good! Quickly activate the defensive shield!"

Following Shi Kun's counterattack were the incredibly fierce killing moves of several powerful members of the Imperial Academy!

Jiang Peng gripped the Heaven-Shaking Axe tightly with both hands, and soared into the air like a god descending to earth. With a world-destroying aura, he fiercely slashed at Ma Rulong, the captain of the Sun and Moon Team and a level six Soul Master!

Wei Huang moved like lightning, his fists striking Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen respectively, the wind from his punches whistling and blocking their escape routes.

Long Aotian's Heaven-Destroying Axe, carrying a golden light that cleaved through the void, slashed towards Mika; while the Heaven-Covering Shield in his other hand slammed down on Lin Xi like a millstone!

Jin Ni's golden dragon spear gleamed with dazzling golden light as it pierced towards Chen Fei; the golden dragon shield, carrying immense power, slammed towards Xiao Xiafeng.

The Sun and Moon team also instantly activated five layers of soul-guided shields, with layers of pale golden light covering all seven of them.

"Boom!" Shi Kun's counterattack blasted open the first layer of protective shield.

"Crack!" Jiang Peng's Heaven-Shaking Axe, imbued with violent soul power, instantly tore through the second layer of protective shield.

"Open!" Vi Huang's fists smashed through the third layer of protective shield like heavy hammers.

"Break!" Long Aotian's Heaven-Destroying Axe Light pierced through the fourth layer of protective shield.

"Shatter!" Jin Ni's Golden Dragon Spear tore through the fifth layer of protective shield.

The shattering of five layers of soul-guided shields was as crisp and piercing as the breaking of glass.

With the buffer of these five layers of soul-guided shields, the Sun and Moon team gained reaction time.

"Attack!" Ma Rulong roared. As a level six soul master, he displayed astonishing decisiveness the moment the protective shield shattered. He slammed his hands together, and two level six soul cannons, shimmering with dark red light, instantly appeared in his palms, their muzzles pointing directly at Jiang Peng, who was descending from the sky.

"Try this! A level six soul tool—Crimson Flame Ray!"

Two crimson laser beams shot out instantly, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures and penetrating power, heading straight for Jiang Peng's brow and heart. The power of this level six soul tool far exceeded that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul skill; its attack power and penetrating power were even comparable to the sixth soul ring skill of a Soul Emperor.

However, Jiang Peng dared to be the first to charge forward, so he must have something to rely on. Facing the deadly red ray, he neither dodged nor evaded, his Heaven-Shaking Axe drawing a strange arc in the air, a thick layer of earthy yellow light suddenly shining on its surface—that was his fourth soul skill, "Immovable as a Mountain"!

"clang--!!!"

The crimson ray slammed into the Heaven-Shaking Axe, producing a sickening metallic clang. Jiang Peng felt an immense, terrifying force strike him; his tiger's mouth split open, blood gushing forth. He was forced back several meters by the impact, but ultimately, he withstood the fatal blow thanks to his powerful physique and soul skills!

Just as Ma Rulong was holding Jiang Peng back, the other members of Di'ao Academy also encountered a rapid counterattack from the Sun and Moon Team.

The siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen retreated swiftly, dodging Wei Huang's fists while quickly taking out their soul tools to counterattack.

With a flash of light, Xiao Hongchen unleashed a level-five defensive soul tool called "Wall of Resilience," blocking Wei Huang's left fist.

At the same time, Meng Hongchen held a uniquely shaped soul-guided pistol in his hand, pointed the muzzle at Wei Huang's right rib, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang!" A beam of dark blue light shot out instantly, carrying a strong corrosive and paralyzing effect.

Vi Huang reacted extremely quickly, twisting his waist to narrowly avoid the blow that grazed his waist. Although it didn't hit any vital organs, the numbing sensation at the graze still slightly slowed his movements.

On the other side, Long Aotian's Heaven-Slaying Axe had already reached Mika. Mika's face was pale, but his soul tool was swift and decisive, instantly releasing a huge metal net in an attempt to entangle the Heaven-Slaying Axe. However, with a roar from Long Aotian, the dark red light on the Heaven-Slaying Axe intensified, shattering the metal net to pieces. The axe blade continued its downward momentum, cleaving straight down!

Just at this critical moment, Lin Xi suddenly appeared from the flank.

The soul tool in his hand transformed into a blur, crashing fiercely into Long Aotian's Heaven-Shield. "Boom!" The immense impact caused Long Aotian's figure to sway slightly, and the aim of the Heaven-Destroying Axe immediately veered off course, grazing Mika's shoulder as it cleaved down, leaving a deep trench in the ground.

The battle on Jin Ni's side was equally intense. Chen Fei and Xiao Xiafeng clearly knew the immense power of Jin Ni's Golden Dragon Spear and Golden Dragon Shield, and the two surprisingly chose to engage in hit-and-run tactics.

Chen Fei's martial soul is the Flash Bird, which excels in speed. He uses the speed advantage of his flying martial soul to constantly harass Jin Ni's flanks, while Xiao Xiafeng holds a huge soul guide shield and firmly withstands the blows of the Golden Dragon Shield.

Thanks to the diversity of their soul tools and their superior firepower, the Sun and Moon Team quickly regained their footing after the shield shattered.

They only wanted to buy time, because behind the seven of them, a heavy soul-guided turret had been assembled and was charging up. Once the turret was fully charged, it would be able to launch a saturation attack.

"We can't give them a chance to breathe! Shi Kun, keep fighting back!" Jiang Peng roared, and Shi Kun's Earth-Covering Shield shone with golden light again, preparing to launch the second round of "Earth-Covering Heaven".

However, the Sun and Moon team was clearly prepared. After repelling Jiang Peng, Ma Rulong immediately ordered his team members to spread out, preventing Shi Kun from having the chance to deflect all the attacks at once.

"Disperse your attacks! Don't concentrate your firepower!" Ma Rulong calmly issued the order.

The next moment, the soul tools in the hands of the seven members of the Sun and Moon Team lit up simultaneously. But this time, instead of releasing a dense array of light spheres, they each locked onto a member of the Imperial Academy and launched a precise single-point attack.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—" Seven beams of light of different colors, carrying a deadly threat, shot towards the seven students from Di'ao Academy in an instant.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, the students of Di'ao Academy had no choice but to abandon their attack and focus on defense.

Jiang Peng swung his Heaven-Shaking Axe to block the beam of light aimed at him;

Shi Kun raised his Earth-Covering Shield to protect himself;

Vihuang swung his fists, deflecting the two beams of light aimed at him.

Long Aotian and Jin Ni blocked the attack with their shields.

Only Ye Bilin managed to block some of the attacks aimed at her, but in order to protect Hua Qinglian, she was grazed on the shoulder by a beam of light.

"Sizzle—" Ye Bilin groaned as the clothes on her shoulder were instantly burned, leaving a shocking wound.
