Chapter 400 Wu Xuan Makes a Move!
Clearly, Xu Tianran and Zhongli Wu had anticipated that the original Douluo Three Kingdoms might resort to desperate measures in the end, and thus set up a series of ambushes to counter their scheme.
Four evil soul masters, plus two level-eight soul masters and more than ten level-seven soul masters, clearly constitute a powerful opponent no weaker than the Sharp Knife Squad.
Looking at the scene below, Xu Tianran, far away on the high platform of the palace, did not show a confident smile, but rather a twisted expression of resentment: "Damn Xu Guozhong, as a member of the royal family, you didn't even try to help when the palace was attacked. If we add those five level-eight soul masters, none of these turtles in a barrel will be able to escape."
"Just you wait. When I ascend the throne, you old dog will be the first one I deal with," Xu Tianran said hatefully.
At this moment, the elite squad was already engaged in a fierce battle with Xu Tianran's guards and the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult.
A bright moon hung high in the night sky, its silvery light cascading down. Zhang Lexuan was bathed in this light, her entire being becoming one with it.
Silver Moon True Form! Zhang Lexuan was clearly enraged at this moment. Her target was the Netherworld Ghost Tiger and the Ghost Shadow Leopard, two Soul Douluos!
On the other side, accompanied by a loud phoenix cry, countless fiery feathers rained down. At this moment, Ma Xiaotao had completely transformed into a fire phoenix and pounced towards the two ghost fire skeleton brothers.
The Fire Phoenix True Form, with Ma Xiaotao's ultimate fire attribute, surpassed the combat power of ordinary Title Douluo. However, the two brothers not only did not back down, but instead laughed and directly used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, transforming into a skeleton tens of meters tall and attacking Ma Xiaotao.
On the other side, the two level-eight soul masters faced off against She Jiang, the leader of the Star Luo Empire, and Yao Hui, the leader of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
As She Jiang unleashed his full power and released his martial soul, a serpent spear appeared in a terrifying display. The spear was about twelve feet long, curved, and its sharp point was forked like a snake's tongue. The spear was entirely bluish-purple, and its eight soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—demonstrated his Soul Douluo cultivation.
A high-pitched roar, accompanied by the thud of a heavy object hitting the ground, and a giant crocodile covered in bluish-black scales appeared behind Yao Hui. Its scales were two yellow, two purple, and four black, demonstrating its Soul Douluo cultivation level.
Serpent Spear and Giant Tooth Crocodile King—these are the martial spirits of the two team leaders.
The four Soul Douluo members of the Sharp Knife Squad unleashed the full power of their Martial Soul True Forms, instantly engaging the six who had been lying in ambush for some time in a stalemate. Then, a chaotic battle erupted between the two sides' Soul Saints, resulting in a fierce and evenly matched contest. Wang Qiu'er, meanwhile, protected Wu Xuan's clone and entangled herself with a Level 6 Soul Master, fighting and retreating as she went.
"We're just one level eight Soul Master short, just one! That damned Xu Guozhong, why isn't he coming to help?" Enraged, Xu Tianran panted heavily and, right in front of Ju Zi, flipped the desk next to him over.
Xu Tianran could never have imagined that the reinforcements he had been longing for had already perished at the hands of Wu Xuan.
At this very moment, not far from the Sun and Moon Empire's imperial palace, at the Mingdu Warehouse!
Two beams of light shot straight into the sky, accompanied by the sound of the roof shattering!
Wu Xuan Ye Guyi, who had emptied the entire Mingdu war reserve warehouse and killed three level-nine soul masters and five level-eight soul masters, flew out of the war reserve warehouse openly and legitimately.
It was a dark night, yet the entire Sun Moon Empire's palace was ablaze with lights, filled with the sounds of battle cries. Brilliant soul techniques streaked across the sky, exploding and unleashing terrifying energy shockwaves.
"It seems the war has already begun. Time waits for no one. Let's go! I'll take you to join the battle!" Wu Xuan calmly took out a black cloth and covered his face. He then handed one to Ye Guyi, who was standing beside him.
"Mm!" Ye Guyi nodded slightly. After putting on the black scarf, she casually put her arm around Wu Xuan's arm.
Wu Xuan was only slightly taken aback when he saw this, then smiled and used a whirlwind to envelop the two of them, instantly teleporting towards the Sun and Moon Palace in front of them.
Such a close distance was only a blink of an eye for Wu Xuan.
The two of them burst into the chaotic battlefield like a whirlwind. As her spiritual clone dissipated, Wang Qiu'er sensed something and glanced back, instantly unleashing a soaring aura. She directly pierced and killed the level six Soul Master who had been locked in combat with her for some time with a single spear thrust; the level six Soul Master's protective shield was as fragile as a sheet of paper before the Golden Dragon Spear.
As Wang Qiu'er swung her spear forward, the unfortunate man's corpse was flung away like a rag.
Looking at the hordes of evil spirit masters on the battlefield, Ye Guyi couldn't help but swallow hard, and then she erupted before Wu Xuan could react.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Angelic True Form!"
Three pairs of pure white angel wings unfurled, and Ye Guyi merged into the angelic phantom. Instantly, countless rays of light erupted from Ye Guyi's body, and the holy fire of light illuminated the area as if it were daytime.
The six-winged angel raised his longsword high and activated his fourth soul skill, Holy Light!
A powerful burst of light erupted, instantly activating the triggered soul-guiding shields on the many soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire, forcing them to retreat. The evil soul masters, on the other hand, screamed and howled in agony like mice before a cat, their soul power and martial souls rapidly dissipating.
"A six-winged angel?! A six-winged angel!! The angel has returned to the mortal realm." Amidst the horrified screams, the weaker evil spirit masters were instantly incinerated by the holy fire.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Guyi, transformed into a six-winged angel, brandished her six wings and charged alone into the ranks of the evil soul masters. Seeing the six-winged angel's cold, golden eyes, the evil soul masters could no longer resist, and their battle lines collapsed.
"So powerful, looks like I'll have to show off my skills too." Wu Xuan smiled faintly and swung his hand forward, the Soul-Breaking Spear's silvery shaft thrusting out.
"First Soul Skill: Mental Lock!"
As the Soul-Shattering Spear was raised high above his head and the shaft flipped, countless illusory rays shot out from the purple rhomboid crystal at the end of the blade. Under Wu Xuan's mental lock, all the Soul Masters and Evil Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire, along with the six top combatants, were instantly drawn into Wu Xuan's mental lock.
"First Soul Skill, Soul Suppression!"
The purple rhombus-shaped crystal instantly shone with unparalleled brilliance. The nearly one hundred enemies targeted by Wu Xuan felt as if a mountain had been pressed down on their souls in an instant. Those whose soul power reached the Soul Saint level could still move their bodies with difficulty, while those below the Soul Saint level had their legs shake and were pressed to the ground.
On the other side, Long Aotian, who was locked in battle with two level seven soul masters, naturally wouldn't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. His right arm twisted and deformed under the flash of the second ring, turning into a dark gold longsword.
"Kill!" Long Aotian roared, his dark gold longsword slashing horizontally. Although the defensive soul tools of the two seventh-level soul masters activated in time, firmly protecting his body, the dark gold blade struck like lightning in the next instant. With a clang, the blade pierced through the soul tool shield and precisely penetrated the heart of the seventh-level soul master.
Another Soul Master resisted fiercely, but the terrifying mental pressure made his body extremely sluggish. In this resentful and frustrated state, this Level 7 Soul Master also followed in his companion's footsteps.
These scenes unfolded across the battlefield, with opponents unable to resist being killed instantly. Those who survived for a short time were soon surrounded and killed by the crowd.
Although the six Soul Douluo powerhouses from the Sun Moon Empire were affected by the Soul Pressure in mid-air, they only suffered minor injuries in a two-on-one situation, and their defeat was not so obvious.
And that was it. After Ye Guyi cleared out all the evil soul masters on the ground, she charged directly and ostentatiously toward the pair of twin brothers who were using the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
The two brothers were already struggling against Ma Xiaotao, and with Ye Guyi's arrival, they were instantly burned to ashes by the flames of light.
"First Soul Skill, Soul Explosion!"
Under everyone's gaze, Wu Xuan's first blood-red spirit ring shone brightly once more. Accompanied by the buzzing of the Soul-Breaking Spear, the remaining two level-eight spirit masters and the Netherworld Ghost Tiger and Ghost Shadow Leopard spirit douluos felt as if their heads were exploding in pain.
The two evil soul masters screamed and were forced to exit their Martial Soul True Body state, falling headlong from the sky. The two level eight soul masters groaned as their soul power transmission was interrupted, and their soul tools malfunctioned instantly.
In just a moment of helplessness, the four people died on the spot.
Because of Wu Xuan's two interventions, the entire battlefield situation was instantly reversed. The Sun Moon Empire's strategy of luring the enemy into a trap was directly declared a failure.
Wu Xuan looked up and gazed in the direction of Xu Tianran, grinning: "Sharp Knife Squad, listen to my command! Follow me into the Sun and Moon Palace and execute Xu Tianran on the spot!!"
