Hearing this voice, the remaining bandits didn't rejoice. Instead, deep despair filled their eyes.
Ling Luochen, reacting the fastest,'s expression changed dramatically. She shouted with all her might, "Get away!" While warning her teammates, she activated her Invincible Shield with all her strength.
Self-preservation was paramount. After all, being familiar with her senior sister, she knew some inside stories and was well aware of the Chicken Leg Douluo's great achievements. Therefore, she knew that before they set out, Ling Luochen had spent a fortune to purchase an Invincible Shield imported from the Sun Moon Empire.
In the blink of an eye, the corpses lying on the ground rapidly swelled. A thin layer of blood-red light enveloped them, creating an all-out disaster of blood.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The swelling corpses exploded one after another. The echoing rumbles filled the cave, and the terrifying explosions made the entire cave seem to shake.
The power of the explosions almost reached the level of a Soul Saint. The entire cave was filled with flying flesh and blood, and rocks fell from the ceiling, with the possibility of a collapse.
In the forest, Xuanzi, who was eating and drinking heartily, was stunned by the sound of the explosion. Then, he flew into a rage and turned into a streak of light, heading towards the cave.
In the cave, the leading teacher, Wang Yan, painfully raised his head. His pained expression showed that he had also suffered considerable injuries.
He was just about to check on the injuries and casualties of the students when, in the next moment, he was sent flying by a powerful shockwave. Even his glasses shattered into pieces, nearly blinding him.
A level 98 Super Douluo, Shrek Academy's Heavenly White Jade Pillar, Sea-Supporting Purple Gold Beam, Xuanzi, had arrived with a powerful presence.
When Xuanzi saw the tragedy within the cave, he stumbled, falling to his knees as if all his strength had been drained.
After the human bomb's destruction, the entire cave was unrecognizable. Gongyang Mo's limbs were gone. He was barely breathing, and it appeared he wouldn't survive.
Xixi had been sent away directly and decisively. Chen Zifeng was stuck in a crevice, his body twisted, his waist caught in the crack, with his head and feet sticking out, bent into a V shape, an incredibly wretched sight.
Yao Haoxuan's body had been severed in two, without any struggle. He had already stopped breathing. His upper body had been blown to the cave entrance. Then, he suffered the same fate as Wang Yan; his body was swept away by the shockwave generated by Xuanzi, suffering the indignity of being whipped.
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuchen were severely injured, but fortunately, as Soul Emperors, they had managed to save their lives with their full defense, and they hadn't lost any limbs.
Ling Luochen was in the best condition, the imported Invincible Shield was still very effective, even if she looked a little disheveled.
Beibei, Xu Sanshi, and the other reserve team members climbed up from the ground one by one. Fortunately, they had been warned by Ling Luochen from the start and maintained their distance, watching from afar. Otherwise, their so-called reserve team would have been wiped out in that attack.
Everyone was filled with lingering fear, grateful that they had survived, and thankful to their senior.
Why, why is it always me? Why?
Xuanzi's eyes were filled with a daze, and the memories of the past resurfaced in his mind.
Many years ago, he had led a team to hunt for souls, full of confidence, but the result was that eight of the twelve inner court disciples, including Zhang Lexuan, were killed by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. What a record.
Wang Yan propped himself up with his elbow, struggling to lift his upper body. Seeing the students who had been lively just a moment ago now turned into cold corpses, Wang Yan couldn't stop trembling.
The next moment, as if all the accumulated emotions had exploded, Wang Yan burst into a rage: "Old bastard, you're useless and incompetent! What use are you? Why don't you just die? How can you still have the face to live in this world? Why don't you die, you old bastard!"
Wang Yan wanted to kill Xuanzi at this moment. It took more than twenty years to nurture a genius Soul Master, but as long as the Taotie Douluo relaxed his guard, it would only take less than ten seconds to destroy him.
Xuanzi seemed not to hear, his gaze blank as he knelt there, dumbfounded and at a loss.
Taking advantage of the situation, the Evil Soul Master, who claimed to be the Death God's Messenger, rushed out from the depths of the cave, preparing to flee. During this, he didn't forget to grab two people.
One was the dying Gongyang Mo, plus a Wang Dong. Xuanzi's reaction was always so slow that he could only watch as the Death God's Messenger escaped.
"Kill him! Kill him! You old fool, what are you spacing out for?"
Seeing Xuanzi so unreliable, Wang Yan was furious, his eyes practically spitting fire as he screamed with a bleeding voice.
Wang Yan's efforts finally brought Xuanzi back to his senses. Xuanzi instantly fell into a rage, cursing, "Damn it!"
The next moment, Xuanzi transformed into a streak of light and chased out of the cave. But then, a figure came crashing toward him. Upon closer inspection, it was Gongyang Mo.
Xuanzi caught Gongyang Mo in one hand, but found that he had already stopped breathing. At the same time, Gongyang Mo's belly was bulging.
BOOM!
Gongyang Mo... had exploded!
Watching Xuanzi, who had just run out, come crashing back in, face-first, Wang Yan didn't know what to say. With a leader like this, how could the team not have accidents? Xuanzi's performance had also refreshed Wang Yan's understanding of the lower limit of a Title Douluo; he was truly a piece of trash.
Shame, anger, and regret surged into Xuanzi's mind, causing the fragile-hearted man to completely lose his reason.
"Die, you old bastard!"
A thunderous roar erupted, and nine soul rings appeared: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red. Simultaneously, the seventh soul ring blazed with light—Martial Soul True Body.
Transforming into a Taotie Divine Ox, Xuanzi's body was enveloped in terrifying energy storms, causing the entire cave to sway precariously under the onslaught.
A Soul King-level Evil Soul Master being chased by a ninety-eight-level Super Douluo using Martial Soul True Body was an unprecedented situation. The Death God's Messenger could probably smile in the afterlife.
However, his "achievements" were worthy of this special "treatment." It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the ceiling of Soul Kings.
The Taotie Divine Ox charged out like a rampaging beast, while the cave began to collapse, with large amounts of rock starting to fall. Chen Zifeng's eyes widened as he saw a giant boulder plummeting towards his position.
And him? His severely injured body couldn't muster a trace of soul power, and he was stuck in the crevice, unable to move even a little. He could only resign himself to the approaching death.
Congratulations to Chicken Leg Douluo, for completing the feat of assisting in taking a kill, further expanding your achievements, and adding a brilliant stroke to your resume.
Applause is in order here!
The cave began to collapse, and everyone present was shocked and hurried to escape. The reserve team members were fine; they were already close to the entrance and didn't encounter any accidents.
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuchen also reacted quickly and arrived at the entrance in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, Dai Yuchen remembered something and looked back, finding that Wang Yan was still inside the cave.
White Tiger Titan Transformation, White Tiger Bodyguard Shield!
After activating the two soul skills, Dai Yuchen finally rescued Wang Yan. Unfortunately, Wang Yan's right leg was broken.
After retreating to a safe area, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was deathly still.
The casualties were counted: Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuchen, the captain and vice-captain, were severely injured; Xixi was dead; Gongyang Mo was dead; Yao Haoxuan was dead and his corpse was desecrated; and Chen Zifeng was finished off by their own side.
The main team members were in dire straits: four were dead, two were severely injured, and only Ling Luochen was unscathed. Even their team leader, Wang Yan, had a broken leg that wouldn't heal quickly.
On the other side, the furious Xuanzi found only the unconscious Wang Dong. The Death God's Messenger had vanished without a trace, their fate unknown.
Five days later, the Body Sect's group arrived in Star Luo City. There were thirteen people in total: Ran Hongyue led the team, with Lin Kong as the leader of the seven official contestants, plus four substitutes including Huo Yuhao, and cheerleader Ye Lingling.
The continent was divided into four great empires, and the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition was held every five years, rotating through the capitals of the four countries.
Star Luo City, as the capital of the Star Luo Empire, was naturally extraordinary. The city walls were built of hard rock, standing over a hundred meters high, and covering an area of over a thousand square kilometers. The widest main roads could accommodate sixteen carriages traveling side-by-side in both directions.
The Star Luo Imperial Palace was located in the center of the city. This palace had been renovated and expanded many times throughout history, making it shockingly large, with extremely luxurious architecture.
