Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

But I've been keeping an eye on Shao Zhe the whole way, so there's no way Shao Zhe could have given me a chance to tip him off!

Unless, while Shao Zhe was still at the academy, he told the Sun Moon Empire everything about this rescue operation!

However, as of now, he still cannot produce more evidence to truly prove that Shao Zhe is a traitor!

The other elders also had tears in their eyes at the passing of Elder Zhuang, their hearts filled with sorrow. After all, Elder Zhuang had worked with them for many years and they had a deep friendship with him.

Not far away, Kong Deming focused most of his energy on controlling the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.

The main reason why the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield was able to withstand so many attacks without being destroyed by the Shrek elders was that the power of space dissipated most of the attacks, greatly reducing the pressure on the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield itself.

Seeing the scene of Elder Zhuang's death, he sighed in a low voice, "Since the invention of the Level 9 Disintegration Cannon, this is the first time that a Super Douluo has died from its attack. Yuhao, you deserve great credit. Without your shared mental detection, Wang Yiheng's accuracy in firing the cannon just now would undoubtedly have been much lower."

Huo Yuhao said, "Elder Kong, the fact that the Level 9 Disintegration Cannon killed the Super Douluo is not my achievement alone. You and Wang Yiheng both contributed to this matter. Otherwise, the attack of the Level 9 Disintegration Cannon might not have been able to kill the Super Douluo of Shrek Academy."

To be honest, even 10,000 years from now, the biggest flaw of soul-guided devices such as disintegration cannons and fixed-position soul-guided projectiles is not their power, but that they are still very difficult to hit strong people.

Ten thousand years later, the Holy Spirit Cult used level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannons to bomb Shrek Academy instead of directly bombing Yunming, partly because Shrek Academy was immobile and a fixed target.

Moreover, if you were to use this thing to attack Yun Ming, who possesses a divine position, you definitely wouldn't be able to hit him.

But if you were to attack Shrek Academy, Yun Ming wouldn't be able to run away; instead, he would do everything in his power to mitigate the destructive force of the level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannonball explosion.

"Your Grace is too kind. I only made some insignificant contributions. Any ninth-level Soul Master could have replaced me. You and Elder Kong played an irreplaceable role in the attack on the Super Douluo just now." Wang Yiheng said as he put down the ninth-level disintegration cannon.

One of the drawbacks of this thing is that it cannot be used continuously.

Chapter 499 The Soul Core Seal Displays its Power

Not far away, Xuanzi was burning with rage. As the strongest among the current elders, he felt obligated to step forward and lead everyone to break through Kong Deming's restrictions.

After all, Xiao Zhuang is dead. If he doesn't step forward, the situation will become increasingly critical, and the Shrek elders may suffer even greater losses.

For Xuanzi, it was unacceptable that his team suffered another heavy loss.

He took a deep breath, and the black light of his seventh soul ring flickered. It seemed that in the next moment, the thick yellow light on his body would surge up like boiling water.

A powerful aura emanated from Xuanzi in all directions. As the owner of the Taotie Divine Ox Martial Soul, whose bloodline was Taotie, this aura even contained a hint of dragon might.

Almost instantly, he transformed into a monster with the body of a sheep, eyes under his armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, and a pair of huge bull horns. Intense yellow light emanated from him and spread outwards.

Moreover, his nine spirit rings have now transformed into nine halos, encircling the pair of enormous bull horns, making them look quite extraordinary.

"Come here! When I make my move, you will all join me in tearing this soul-guiding light shield apart!" His grand voice resounded in the minds of every elder.

Because he used his Martial Soul True Body, the space that the other elders could occupy became smaller. At this moment, the elders responded with "Yes" and then came to the back of the Taotie Divine Ox in the increasingly narrow space inside the light shield.

Although the elders still felt grief over the passing of Elder Zhuang, they knew that the most important thing at the moment was to leave this place, otherwise no one knew who the next elder to die would be.

For Xuanzi, this is his second time fighting Kong Deming. He has accumulated some experience and is now certain that the opponent's soul tool and spatial power are inseparable. In fact, if he had been a true Limit Douluo when he first fought Kong Deming, he would have realized this long ago.

As a level 98 Super Douluo, he condensed an earth-attribute soul core. However, in order to condense the next soul core, Xuanzi also mastered some spatial power, but he did not master it well enough and could only manipulate spatial power to do some simple things.

Soon, Xuanzi roared, and silver light began to swirl around his massive bull horns. The thick yellow light emanating from his body surged and attacked the inner wall of the light barrier, causing some small, dark spatial cracks to appear.

The soul-guided projectiles flying from the ground were instantly torn apart upon impact with the spatial rifts.

The other elders seized the opportunity and immediately launched an attack. Soon, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield was expanded, and the pressure came down on Kong Deming.

Kong Deming involuntarily frowned. To be honest, strictly speaking, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield was not a defensive soul tool.

The reason it was able to withstand the attacks of these elders for so long was not because the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield had strong defensive capabilities, but simply because the power of space deflected most of the attacks into space.

Now, Xuanzi has used the power of space to create a flaw in the force-dissipating mechanism of the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield. Actually, things are still alright up to this point. After all, without burning his life flame, Xuanzi is only a level 98 Super Douluo. At this level of strength, he can't cause any major disturbances within the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.

However, the other elders and Xuanzi launched an attack together, which undoubtedly gave Xuanzi a great boost. If he did not let these guys out, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield would undoubtedly suffer great damage, and these guys would eventually be able to break through the shield.

This is his natal soul tool. If it suffers severe damage, it will be a real problem for him. So he said, "Yuhao, given the current situation, I will have to temporarily remove the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and transmitted his voice to Kong Deming: "No need, Elder Kong. Do you still remember the soul core seal on Xuanzi? Now is the perfect time for me to take advantage of this seal."

He then looked at Wang Yiheng and said, "Commander Wang, you immediately lead the Evil Monarch Soul Master Corps to open fire. This time, don't target Xuanzi, just attack the others!"

Although Wang Yiheng had some doubts, he nodded and agreed.

After all, even the most senior Elder Kong hadn't objected to Huo Yuhao's arrangements; he only needed to follow Huo Yuhao's orders.

Soon, the members of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps set up various soul-guided cannons and fired at the Shrek elders and their group. Bright lights of various colors surged toward the elders.

The elders noticed the attack. After all, although the mimicry soul skill was powerful, it was not invincible. However, even though the elders noticed the attack, they did not pay too much attention to it. Instead, they continued to focus their main efforts on breaking through the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier.

After all, for those soul-guided cannonballs to attack them, the first thing they need to do is break through Elder Xuan's defenses. Although Elder Xuan's defenses may not be impenetrable, even if they are broken through by the soul-guided cannonballs, it will still take some time. With this buffer period, they can prepare before Elder Xuan's defenses are broken.

Judging from the power emanating from those soul-guided shells, none of them were level nine fixed-position soul-guided shells. Therefore, the elders had complete confidence in their judgment and believed that their choice was correct.

Hearing the thunderous roar of artillery fire around him, Huo Yuhao's mind stirred slightly. He manipulated the seal on the soul core, directly preventing Xuanzi's soul core from transmitting soul power outward.

Although this was a seal set up by Electrolux, Electrolux had long ago handed over control of the Soul Core Seal to Huo Yuhao. Therefore, Huo Yuhao could naturally control this seal. Almost instantly, Xuanzi felt the seal appear on his Soul Core, and the Soul Core stopped supplying Soul Power. His mood immediately plummeted to the bottom.

This is undoubtedly a very serious matter, because the soul core is essentially a soul power core, which is also a highly condensed solid soul power.

For a Super Douluo, in a sense, solid, liquid, and gaseous soul power coexist within their body, because a Super Douluo can make the solid soul power particles within their body appear in either a liquid or gaseous state.

Ultimately, it still depends on the soul core to release solid soul power particles. Now that the soul core has stopped supplying soul power, Xuanzi has lost the biggest source of soul power.

Now, all Xuanzi can rely on is the soul power stored in his own martial soul. However, the soul power stored in his martial soul is undoubtedly a drop in the ocean for the current situation where a large amount of soul power needs to be continuously consumed.

"Huo Yuhao!" he roared. Then, the earth-attribute yellow light and spatial rifts that had extended outwards suddenly disappeared because they did not have enough soul power to support them. Even his Martial Soul True Body collapsed at this moment!

The other elders hadn't expected this sudden turn of events; it was as if Elder Xuan had betrayed them, and their minds went blank for a moment.

However, they quickly realized what was happening and tried to dodge the attack, but it was too late. The Soul Guidance Cannonballs of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps moved very fast, and they were not blocked by Xuanzi. Almost instantly, they arrived next to the group of elders and then exploded.

Chapter 500 Elder Xuan, do you want to kill us?

Bang bang bang!

The explosion resounded through the sky.

Flames flickered and thick smoke billowed, obscuring the vision of Huo Yuhao and his group. However, thanks to Huo Yuhao's shared mental detection, even though the smoke and flames had not completely dissipated, the scene inside the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield was transmitted into everyone's minds without any discrepancy.

Aside from Xuanzi, who was continuing to fall but desperately trying to squeeze out the soul power stored within his martial soul to continue flying, all the other elders were injured in the explosion. They were all pale-faced, with blood at the corners of their mouths, and their auras were somewhat weakened.

The other elders were surprised that, at this crucial moment, Elder Xuan, on whom so much hope was placed, would falter.

With the strength of these elders, if they had made sufficient preparations, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation facing the attacks from the Evil Lord's Soul Guidance Corps' soul-guided cannons.

However, because of their trust in Xuanzi, they lowered their guard and basically left their defense to Xuanzi, which allowed them to be successfully ambushed by a barrage of soul-guided cannonballs, resulting in their injuries.

"Elder Xuan, do you want to kill us?" Yan Shaozhe said angrily.

He had no idea what Xuanzi was doing. Everyone was working together to break the light barrier, but Xuanzi stopped without even saying a word and even withdrew his Martial Soul True Body. This caught the elders off guard and caused them to get injured.

He wouldn't let it go until Xuanzi gave an explanation. Although the situation was critical and getting out of the light barrier was everyone's common goal, Xuanzi's actions just now were too strange and made him uneasy.

There are quite a few elders who share Yan Shaozhe's views.

A crisis of trust is imminent.

At this moment, Xuanzi suddenly felt that the seal on his soul core had been broken again. Abundant solid soul power particles, like waves, swept out from his soul core, nourishing his limbs and bones.

He felt as if he were in a hot spring, and the feeling of being full of soul energy made him extremely comfortable.

He stopped his fall and rushed upwards. Looking at the injured elders, he felt ashamed. He knew that he had to give an explanation no matter what.

After all, the other elders got injured because they messed up.

So while dodging the dense artillery fire, he anxiously explained, "How could I possibly want to kill you! The reason I stopped and even deactivated my Martial Soul True Body just now was because I was attacked by Huo Yuhao, which greatly reduced the amount of soul power I could use. Without enough soul power to support me, I was forced to stop, and I couldn't even maintain my Martial Soul True Body, which led to your injuries."

"Attacked by Huo Yuhao?" Yan Shaozhe laughed in anger. "Elder Xuan, do you think I'm a three-year-old? I admit that Huo Yuhao is an unparalleled genius. In the Douluo Continent today, among Soul Masters under the age of twenty, Huo Yuhao is undoubtedly the number one in terms of strength and talent!"

If Huo Yuhao were at Shrek Academy, he would likely have had a better chance of development, and might even have had the opportunity to become the head of the Sea God Pavilion in the future.

But what is Huo Yuhao's strength now? What is your strength? Even if Huo Yuhao were really at the border of the Sun Moon Empire, could he still attack you to this extent? Although the Sun Moon Empire's propaganda claimed that you were captured by Kong Deming and Huo Yuhao together, I have always believed that this was false propaganda by the Sun Moon Empire to glorify Huo Yuhao!

"Master Xuan, you should speak the truth instead of using clumsy lies to cover up the reasons behind your strange actions just now. I hope there can be more sincerity and less deception between us!"

“Yes, Elder Xuan, Shao Zhe is right. We hope you will tell the truth,” Cai Meier said, somewhat dissatisfied.

As for the other elders, they expressed similar wishes to Yan Shaozhe and his wife.

Xuanzi's face was grim, and he was somewhat frustrated. He had tried his best to tell the truth. Strictly speaking, he had indeed been attacked by Huo Yuhao, otherwise the soul core seal could not have been triggered.

Of course, he couldn't tell others that he had been sealed with a soul core, as this would definitely accelerate the other elders' distrust of him, further widening the rift in trust within the team, and could even cause him to lose his qualification to become the next Sea God Pavilion Master.

Of course, after his soul core was sealed and he was released back to Shrek Academy, he had considered asking Elder Mu for help to remove the seal. However, after thinking about it carefully for a while, he felt that Elder Mu could not help him solve this problem.

He had known Elder Mu for many years, and he knew Elder Mu's strength better than anyone.

No one understands Elder Mu better than him!

If we were to put Elder Mu in a fight, he would indeed be a formidable opponent. Although, given his current physical condition, fighting could very well lead to his rapid demise, this should not negate his strength.

Of course, asking Elder Mu to solve the problem of the soul core seal would be putting Elder Mu in a difficult position.

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth. I was ambushed by Kong Deming just now," he said with a hint of helplessness.

Since no one would believe him if he told the truth, he had no choice but to lie in order to regain the trust of the other elders.

Yan Shaozhe's expression softened slightly, but he was still somewhat dissatisfied: "Elder Xuan, you should have told the truth earlier. Why did you frame Huo Yuhao? I know you are quite dissatisfied with Huo Yuhao's victory, but you shouldn't have thrown mud at him!"

Xuanzi was extremely frustrated, thinking to himself that Yan Shaozhe had said all the nice and bad things.

However, he did not refute it. Instead, he transmitted his voice to the elders: "Next, everyone, ignite the flame of life. Once the flame of life is ignited, our strength will increase dramatically. Kong Deming's strength and arrangements are beyond my imagination. If we want to get out of here, we will have to pay a price. I guarantee with my integrity that this time, we can definitely break through the encirclement!"

The other elders agreed without hesitation. After all, the longer they were trapped in the light barrier, the more unfavorable the situation would be for them. Although burning the flame of life would come at a great cost, it would also bring a temporary surge in strength.

As for Xuanzi, he felt that his physical condition had recovered somewhat compared to the last time he burned the Flame of Life. As long as he burned the Flame of Life, he could instantly reach the strength of a Limit Douluo. At that time, could that Soul Core Seal still restrict him?

Of course, in order to reduce the risk of the soul core being detonated and to minimize the losses caused by burning the flame of life, he decided to control the burning time of the flame of life within a reasonable range as much as possible.

.....

In the clouds not far away.

Huo Yuhao used the shared mental detection to take in all the words and actions of the Shrek elders. He felt that the time was ripe and it was time for Feng Ling to take the stage.

The next target is Yan Shaozhe.

So he sent a telepathic message to Kong Deming: "Elder Kong, I will have Feng Ling take the stage later and, in front of everyone, have her bring Yan Shaozhe out of the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield. At this time, I will need you to make an exception for me."

Before the Shrek elders arrived, Huo Yuhao, who had already reached the border between the Sun and Moon, explained to Kong Deming his relationship with Feng Ling and why Feng Ling was willing to do things for him.

Kong Deming smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay."
