Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: Starting with a Bond to God King Tang San

Chapter 283 The Great Battle Is Imminent

The rest of his men were terrified at the sight, wondering what kind of terrifying person this was.

"Quickly, kill him."

Seeing this, Shadow Fiend ordered his other men to kill Deng Mu immediately.

Shadow Demon quietly retreated. When he saw Deng Mu's battle record, the thought of running away popped into his mind.

However, in order to buy his men time, he had to escape quietly.

The remaining subordinates were terrified and, urged by Shadow Fiend, unleashed their soul skills without regard for the consequences.

The burly subordinate used his soul skill, causing the ground to arch up instantly, with thick, sharp earth spikes shooting straight towards Deng Mu.

The tall, thin man held a staff, from which black flames, like a dragon, spewed forth and roared towards Deng Mu.

Deng Mu's eyes were calm, and his movements were as fast as lightning. He dodged to the side with ease, avoiding the sharp earth spikes, and then used the momentum to leap and perform a neat somersault in the air to dodge the black flames.

But one of his men seized the moment when he paused in mid-air and unleashed a barrage of ice spikes at Deng Mu like a dense rain.

Deng Mu did not choose to dodge the attack, but instead used his body to withstand the ice spikes. The ice spikes turned into ice shards and flew everywhere when they touched Deng Mu's body.

"That's all there is to it."

Deng Mu snorted coldly, his figure blurred, and he was already in front of one of his subordinates. He raised his hand and delivered a heavy blow, hitting the man in the chest.

The subordinate groaned and flew backward like a sandbag, crashing heavily to the ground and remaining motionless.

Seeing that Deng Mu had withstood the ice spikes with his bare body without a scratch, the other subordinates were even more terrified, and their movements became a little slower.

Seeing this, Shadow Fiend roared at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, perk up! Attack him all at once! He's just one person; we can wear him down!"

Provoked by Shadow Fiend, his men gritted their teeth and launched another attack.

Yes, there are so many of them. Even if we just wear them down, we can wear them down to death. We must kill this kid.

One of the henchmen, wielding a halberd, shouted, his soul power surging, and a layer of eerie green light emanated from the halberd. He then hurled it at Deng Mu.

The halberd, like a green lightning bolt, carried immense power and pierced straight towards Deng Mu.

At the same time, another short subordinate used his soul skill, and the ground beneath Deng Mu's feet suddenly became soft, like a swamp, in an attempt to trap him.

The tall, thin man waved his staff again. This time, black flames coalesced into a giant firebird, which took flight and swooped down toward Deng Mu, bringing with it a wave of intense heat.

Just as the halberd was about to pierce Deng Mu, Deng Mu reached out and firmly grasped the halberd, then swung it forcefully, changing its direction and sending it flying towards the short subordinate.

The short subordinate couldn't dodge in time and was grazed by the halberd, leaving a deep wound that made him scream in pain.

Immediately afterward, Deng Mu stomped his feet, instantly hardening the previously soft ground. Using the momentum, he leaped high into the air, dodging the firebird's attack. The firebird plunged into the ground, causing a violent explosion that sent dust flying.

Deng Mu turned in mid-air, seized the opportunity, and plummeted rapidly toward the tall, thin man.

Before the tall, thin man could react, Deng Mu had already crashed down in front of him like a meteor, delivering a powerful punch that struck the tall, thin man squarely in the abdomen.

The tall, thin man flew backward like a cannonball, crashing through several large trees before falling heavily to the ground, his fate unknown.

As Shadow Demon watched his men fall one by one, his panic grew, and his desire to escape intensified.

He knew that if he didn't leave now, it would really be too late.

Taking advantage of a lull in Deng Mu's fight with his other men, he turned and ran as fast as he could, praying that he could escape Deng Mu's pursuit.

After Deng Mu dealt with the tall, thin man, he immediately noticed Shadow Fiend's movements and chased after him without hesitation.

"Trying to run? No way!"

Deng Mu chased after Ying Sha in the direction he had fled, as swiftly as the wind.

Despite Ying Sha's best efforts, the gap in strength between him and Deng Mu was too great. Deng Mu appeared in front of Ying Sha like a ghost in a few flashes, blocking his path.

Shadow Demon stared at Deng Mu in terror, his face filled with despair. His legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me... I'll tell you everything!" Shadow Demon completely broke down, pleading in a trembling voice.

Deng Mu looked at him coldly and asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened with the Mingdu explosion?"

Shadow Fiend dared not conceal anything and hurriedly said, "It was...it was the High Priest who instructed me to steal rare minerals from the underground warehouse in Mingdu. I...I secretly hoarded some minerals in order to gain more benefits, and I even planned to blow up the warehouse to create some trouble. But unexpectedly, the minerals and explosives in the warehouse reacted violently, causing a huge explosion."

He truly hadn't expected the explosion to be so powerful, turning Mingdu into this mess.

Hearing Ying Sha's words, Deng Mu looked at Ying Sha with some surprise. He didn't expect that because of Ying Sha's change of the plot, it would end up being someone else who detonated Mingdu.

Deng Mu looked at him and asked, "Tell me everything about the Evil God Cult, down to the last detail."

Ying Sha hurriedly said, "The sect leader has been completing the divine test recently, and it is said that he will become a god soon. Also, the sect leader plans to start a war that will sweep across the entire Douluo Continent..."

He told Deng Mu about the part of the plan he knew.

He was willing to do anything to survive.

He was far too experienced in betraying others; it wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

He joined the evil cult out of necessity, and now it's time to betray it and save his own life.

After hearing what Ying Sha said, Deng Mu was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the second leader of the Evil God Cult planned to start a war.

But he didn't understand the significance, because the Evil God Cult didn't intend to unify Douluo Continent, but rather wanted to plunge it into chaos.

What's the point of doing this?

This was something that Deng Mu really couldn't understand.

Unless they plunge the Douluo Continent into chaos, they can continue to reap considerable benefits.

So what would this benefit be?

After much thought, Deng Mu could only think that the chaos that would engulf Douluo Continent would generate a large number of negative emotions and souls.

Deng Mu's first reaction to seeing so many negative emotions and souls was to think of Rakshasa and the Holy Spirit Cult.

Could it be that the Holy Spirit Cult has a Rakshasa deity?

If that's the case, then the Holy Spirit Cult and the Evil God Cult must be secretly cooperating, a cooperation that few people are aware of.

Thinking of this, Deng Mu looked at Ying Sha, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me those things, and I'll spare your life."

Upon hearing Deng Mu's words, Ying Sha quickly presented Deng Mu with four storage soul tools, saying, "My lord, this is all we have. Please accept it."

Deng Mu accepted the four storage soul tools handed over by Ying Sha without expression, his eyes showing no hesitation.

Shadow was still immersed in the fantasy that he had escaped this calamity, and even had a hint of ingratiating expression on his face.
