Illustrious Virtue Hall Underground Base.
The violent roar and the trembling of the earth made Ju Zi's group all stop, their faces changing. If this place were to collapse, then not a single one of them would get out alive.
"Damn it, this underground passage is so fragile!" Ju Zi and Nan Men Yun'er cursed through gritted teeth. Suddenly, they quickly thought of something. From time to time, advanced soul tools from Illustrious Virtue Hall had been circulated outside. It was probably the result of internal borers secretly selling them off. This underground of Illustrious Virtue Hall had naturally been frequented by internal personnel.
However, how could Ju Zi and the other girls, who had already completed most of their evacuation plan, stop at this moment because of a mere collapse of an underground passage? One had to know that up until now, Cui Yajie had not yet caught up, which meant that she had also encountered no small amount of trouble on her end.
Cui Yajie's efforts must not be in vain!
A terrifying energy storm suddenly erupted from the mouth of the giant Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox. Cui Yajie did not hesitate to expend all the soul power in her nursing bottles to activate the soul tool cannon. This was the attack method of three soul skills in one that she had developed herself, the Natural Spiral Storm.
"A very powerful attack. I must say, you are indeed an elite trained by our cult's Holy Son. Truly exceptionally talented!" Ye Xishui laughed strangely. Even an ordinary Class 9 soul engineer would not dare to take this strike from Cui Yajie head-on. But she was not only a Class 9 Actual Control Soul Engineer, but also a quasi-god!
The current Cui Yajie could be said to be attacked from both sides. The only thing she could do now was to take advantage of Ye Xishui's arrogance in not attacking her immediately, and to unleash this strike completely. This was her only means of saving herself.
"Mamamama, little girl, you have done very well. But this old woman cannot show mercy and let you run away." Ye Xishui's peerless beauty of the past was long gone. The charming voice coming from the abyssal mouth on her terrifying face only gave people a creepy feeling.
Clang, clang!
That was the sound of the recharging soul tool shattering under the load. In order to speed up the release of this strike, Cui Yajie had already disregarded her own consumption. Even the giant nine-tailed fox behind her had become somewhat illusory.
Cui Yajie's magnificent aura was clearly that of one who would put herself in a desperate situation to survive. She completely ignored the attacks of the other powerful soul engineers.
She was relying only on a suit of powerful, advanced soul tools. In terms of true strength, she and Ye Xishui were too far apart. This Death God Douluo was originally one of the few Ultimate Douluo on the entire continent. A peak strength of level ninety-nine.
Boom—
The battle was instantly reignited by this strike from Cui Yajie. The dozen or so powerful soul engineers retreated frantically. The energy storm had appeared too suddenly, so much so that the soul engineers around the storm didn't even have time to react. At least five high-level soul engineers were instantly vaporized in the initial wave of the storm. The hundreds of experimental tables around were torn to shreds by the terrifying explosive force, and metal fragments flew in all directions, turning into a terrifying metal storm. Screams mixed with the smell of blood shot outwards like a blowout under the effect of that terrifying shockwave.
Cui Yajie's goal was to hold back these experts sent by Prince Xu Tianran and to create an opportunity for herself and Ju Zi's group.
"A very strong energy storm." Ye Xishui's face did not change in the face of the storm, which was enough to tear apart a Class 8 soul tool protective shield. A layer of black-red energy film appeared on her body, enveloping her entire person. And the terrifying energy impact on this film only caused slight ripples.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Blood Soul Devour!"
Nine soul rings—black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red—rose one by one from under Ye Xishui's feet. In front of her, a Blood Soul Demon Puppet, similar to Zhongli Yu's and Zhongli Wu's, suddenly appeared. Unlike the advanced version of the Death God Demon Puppet, the ferocious aura of the Blood Soul Demon Puppet was magnified several times by Ye Xishui, who had slaughtered countless living beings.
The Blood Soul Demon Puppet opened its large mouth and actually began to directly devour this energy storm.
As soon as that cold, sinister, and ferocious aura appeared, Cui Yajie felt a chill all over her body, and an indescribable sense of fear arose spontaneously.
She was absolutely no match for this woman!
Run, I must run!
Cui Yajie gritted her teeth and squeezed out the last bit of her soul power, firing a Soul Tool Piercing Cannon at the ground.
The only blind spot of the Natural Spiral Storm was the place where the caster stood. After this Soul Tool Piercing Cannon was fired, Cui Yajie's soul power was also completely exhausted.
"Do you think you can escape from this old woman's hands?" Ye Xishui sneered. She completely ignored the still-dissipating energy storm and directly grabbed for Cui Yajie.
Crack!
What Ye Xishui had not expected was that Cui Yajie actually had a one-time use Invincible Shield on her. And with the reverse impact force generated by the shattering of the Invincible Shield, Cui Yajie used a Thousand Jin Drop and drilled towards that small hole.
"How dare you trick this old woman!" Ye Xishui was enraged. Although the thickness of the floors of Illustrious Virtue Hall was enough to withstand the bombardment of a Class 8 soul tool cannon, in front of her, it was no different from being made of paper.
Rumble!
As Cui Yajie was falling, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened.
Ye Xishui had torn through the floor with one hand and was diving straight for her.
However, she now had no soul power left to resist.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Blood Soul True Body!" In a fit of rage, Ye Xishui did not plan to give Cui Yajie any more chances. With her quasi-god strength, a light touch was all it would take to tear this cunning little fox into a bloody pulp.
Watching the Blood Soul Demon Puppet's bone claws rapidly enlarge before her, Cui Yajie's heart was like dead ashes, and she slowly closed her beautiful eyes.
They had calculated that Xu Tianran would send experts to capture them, but they had not expected there to be an Ultimate Douluo in charge.
All schemes, in the face of absolute strength, are but fleeting clouds!
Farewell, Yuhao—
The bone claw grabbed down at her head.
In the next instant, an ice-blue sharp edge flashed, blocking Ye Xishui's blood-red bone claw.
Cui Yajie only felt herself fall into a warm embrace.
She opened her beautiful eyes in disbelief. What came into view was a white-haired youth holding a long blade, horizontally blocking Ye Xishui's martial soul bone claw.
"Who dares to touch my little fox?" Huo Yuhao's eyes turned cold. The true power of ultimate cold burst out of his body, instantly freezing the Blood Soul Demon Puppet along with Ye Xishui.
However, Ye Xishui was, after all, a quasi-god expert. The Ultimate Ice only worked on her for less than three seconds.
However, this was enough for Huo Yuhao to take Cui Yajie and escape from Ye Xishui's attack range.
"Holy Son, Huo Yuhao?" Ye Xishui cried out strangely. She couldn't believe that this guy had not gone to the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Convention in Rising Sun City, but had come to Ming Dou instead. Could it be that he had guessed that someone would make a move against these girls?
"Yuhao, is it really you..." Cui Yajie's red lips were pressed tightly together. She grabbed the collar of his chest and refused to let go. She was very afraid, afraid that this was a hallucination before her death.
Huo Yuhao nodded gently. If he had come a moment later, Cui Yajie might have really been killed.
Thinking of this, a bloody killing intent couldn't help but flow from his pupils. He hated it most when people made a move against the people he cherished.
Huo Yuhao was actually a little surprised by the fact that Ye Xishui was still alive. After all, this old woman, along with Long Xiaoyao and Xuan Zi, had all been hit by the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord's dying counterattack. Being hit by that level of the Light of Time and Space, with their lifespans, it was basically impossible for them to survive. Even Xuan Zi, who was far from reaching the end of his life, had ultimately been unable to struggle due to his severe injuries and had become fertilizer for his Immortal Spirit Wood.
"Supreme Hierophant, you are actually still alive." Huo Yuhao smiled coldly. "Zhongli Wu is already dead. I believe you, the Supreme Hierophant, will soon be going down to reunite with your son."
Surprisingly, Ye Xishui did not lose her composure because Huo Yuhao had mentioned Zhongli Wu's death.
"Mamamama, Holy Son, do you think you can disturb my state of mind with the death of that kid?" Ye Xishui laughed strangely. "That was just a spawn that old ghost Zhongli forced this old woman to bear. My beloved is gone. There is nothing left in this world worth caring about."
Long Xiaoyao is dead? Huo Yuhao's expression changed. What on earth had these two old folks experienced in the past month?
