The border between the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire, the Mingdou Mountains, the central area.
"Everyone, rest assured. According to the specific information I got from my father, although the leader of the Death Hand Bandit Group may be an evil soul master, his cultivation is definitely not higher than that of a soul king."
The captain of the regular team, Dai Yueheng, glanced back at his father's military camp and then withdrew his gaze, saying excitedly: "The number of soul masters in the bandit group accounts for one-tenth, but they are all crooked. As long as we charge for a while, we can get rid of them all!"
The Soul-Chasing Sword King Chen Zifeng, Yao Haoxuan, Xixi and others all looked excited and clenched their fists in excitement.
In the past, I was always worried when acting alone, but this time, with the seven of us working together, there will be no problem!
Gong Yangmo, the main auxiliary spirit master with the Rainbow Dragon spirit, laughed: "I don't have the ability to fight, and completing tasks has always been a hassle. This time I'll just follow you and benefit from it."
The soul guide inner courtyard disciple's eyes lit up: "If you don't mind, I can lend you two soul guides for combat, both for attack and defense..."
The fragile auxiliary Gong Yangmo was about to agree with a smile, but the Taotie Douluo Xuanzi, who was holding a wine gourd and drinking a little wine, suddenly fell from the sky from nowhere and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Hey, hey, what are you talking about? Boy, do you look down on Gong Yangmo's ability or the strength of us, and think that we can't protect Gong Yangmo?"
"Forget about the flying soul guide for traveling. When did the geniuses of Shrek's martial soul system need soul guides that hinder cultivation to enhance their strength? Are you trying to steal people?"
The inner courtyard disciple of the Soul Guidance Department suddenly felt that he was being looked at unkindly by a dangerous beast, and hurriedly smiled and waved his hands to express that he had no such intention.
Gong Yangmo also smiled awkwardly, saying that he certainly believed in the strength of his companions and Master Xuan.
Ling Luochen asked: "Master Xuan, according to the rules, our regular team should go first, and the junior students should stay outside to watch, or should we let them follow us..."
"Of course I'll go with you guys! What are you thinking about?"
Master Xuan Zi shook his sleeves carelessly, glanced at a certain reserve team student who made him very unhappy but couldn't deal with him, and a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"The seven monsters of our Shrek Academy are all top elite heroes, brave as hell. How could they be afraid of such a small scene?"
"Don't treat your juniors as cowards who are afraid of danger. The competition is coming, and this is the best opportunity for you to gain experience."
"Once they are familiar with this kind of fighting, they will not be afraid of the competition and can deal with any enemy calmly."
"Besides, I am still here, right? What evil spirit master can threaten your lives right under my nose? What are you worried about? Come on, come on! Come on! Anyone who dares not to come on, don't blame me for making things difficult for you when you return."
Ling Luochen opened his mouth and thought to himself, "I'm afraid you don't know that I have some friendship with the senior sister. I heard from her about your unreliable "glorious record" in the past."
Xu Sanshi knew that Xuan Laodeng was looking at him from left to right and was unhappy with him, but considering that Xuan Laodeng was very powerful, he didn't want to bother with him. He just treated it as the old man's fart and let it go in one ear and out the other.
After leaving these semi-threatening words, Xuan Zi flicked his sleeves and disappeared from everyone's sight. Led by Dai Yueheng, the Shrek group changed into the uniforms and equipment of the Supervisory Group and flashed into the depths of the Mingdou Mountains.
Not long after, Wang Yan and Dai Yueheng found the location of the cave together.
Xuan Zi reappeared, waved his sleeves and pointed at the cave, and gave an order: "Children, on behalf of Shrek, launch the most violent attack on those evils!"
"good!!!"
The seven inner court disciples responded loudly and unleashed their martial spirits together. Led by Dai Yueheng, who was in the lead, six Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor charged into the cave.
"White Tiger Body Barrier, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, White Tiger Meteor Shower!"
"Soul-chasing sword, sharp! Break! Destroy!"
"Rainbow Dragon, Red Power."
"Staff of ice, body armor of ice, cage of ice!"
…
Screams soon emerged from the cave, and colorful spirit skills illuminated the darkness.
From that heart-wrenching sound, the seven members of the reserve team could imagine how brave and invincible the seniors were, and how they beat the bandits to the point of crying for their parents.
Following the path of the seniors into the cave, the elegance of the seven inner courtyard disciples came into view.
White Tiger Soul Emperor Dai Yueheng rushed to the front like a vanguard general, sweeping across the army with a pair of tiger claws. As soon as the claw marks fell, the brains of those bandits, whose strength did not exceed that of Soul Sect at most and whose soul rings were very shabby, exploded and they were silent.
The ferocious Dai Yueheng was so excited about killing that he even staged a puppet-tearing act, tearing a Soul Master alive with just a force of his shoulders.
Another strong attack soul master in the team, Soul-Chasing Sword Chen Zifeng, took the position of Ma Xiaotao in the original novel. With his Soul-Chasing Sword, he appeared and disappeared like a ghost, and all the bandits were killed with one blow, leaving them covered in blood.
The two powerful attacking masters were like two sharp knives, stabbing into the heart of the bandit group. Yao Haoxuan, Xixi and the soul guidance disciples paid attention to both sides to reap the fish that escaped the net.
Gong Yang Mo was in the center, with the colorful rainbow dragon flowing and jumping, providing teammates with an amplification that was no less than that of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower.
Ling Luochen waved his ice staff and took the final step. He put on ice armor and scattered frost on himself. There was flying snow in front of the reserve team.
"Brother is so brave and invincible, I want to help him! Zhu Lu, let's go!"
Seeing Dai Yueheng displaying his prowess, Dai Huabin's eyes turned red for some reason. He roared like a white tiger and charged forward, directly surpassing Beibei and Xu Sanshi.
With a "meow" sound, Zhu Lu was possessed by the Netherworld Cat. She leaned forward and sprinted past the crowd. Together with Dai Huabin, she overtook Ling Luochen, who was the last one, and headed straight towards Dai Yueheng. Her two soul skills were released before they even encountered the enemy.
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"
"Netherworld Stab, Netherworld Hundred Claws!"
Jiang Nannan had already been enraged by the bloody scenes along the way. When Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu rushed out, she could no longer hold back. She tensed her long legs and rushed out.
"Hey, Nan Nan, don't rush so fast, wait for me!" Xu Sanshi shouted at Jiang Nan Nan's back, took out the Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield and was about to rush forward.
Beibei stretched out his dragon arms, and his body surpassed Xu Sanshi, whose speed was worrying, under the lightning. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, this is our last battle, I won't let you win. Whoever kills more people will be the elder brother from now on."
After that, the wrath of thunder suddenly erupted, and thousands of lightning snakes emerged from Beibei's body. With both hands extended, the Thunder Dragon Claw and the Thunder Net flashed out. He himself also turned into a flash of lightning.
"You guys bully us defense-type soul masters because we are slow and not good at sharking people, right? Today I will let you see my true ability!"
Xu Sanshi saw that Beibei was using his advantage to defeat his disadvantage, so he quickly made up his mind and urged the Xuanming Tortoise Shield to change. A powerful black halo suddenly spread from the shield, instantly covering an area of more than ten square meters, like an air shield pushing outward, making a rumbling sound.
Under the surprised gazes of He Caitou, Xiao Xiao and Wang Yan, Xu Sanshi's aura increased rapidly, and a small dark green snake appeared on the dense and thick tortoise shell shield, with blood-red eyes.
Because he took the right path under the guidance of a certain third brother, Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu Shield was fully awakened and he was able to control the state of the Xuanwu Shield by himself.
When he enters this state, he is no longer a pure defensive soul master, but will possess overwhelming killing power, but the consumption will be very high.
In order to defeat Beibei, I have to fight!
"Xuanwu awakens, the power of Xuanwu, Xuanwu shocks!"
Xu Sanshi roared, and the first and third soul rings on his body shone brightly. Wang Yan was surprised to sense that Xu Sanshi's momentum had more than doubled in an instant, and was no weaker than Ling Luochen, Xixi and other inner courtyard elite soul kings! His third soul skill not only doubled Xu Sanshi's strength, but also affected a large range of environments. Xiao Xiao, He Caitou and even Wang Yan felt as if they were enveloped by sticky water waves, and the execution of their soul power became sluggish.
The terrifying and wild aura even attracted the attention of inner court disciples such as Ling Luochen and Gong Yangmo, and then they saw:
Xu Sanshi strode forward and killed him. Xuanwu Zhen turned into a dark green gas shield covering an area of dozens of square meters. It seemed as if a huge explosion occurred wherever he passed, and body parts flew everywhere.
"Is this the evolution of the martial soul or something? How can it be so powerful?"
The soul guide disciple with the worst martial spirit among the crowd was stunned and dazed. Xu Sanshi's outburst was no worse than the bombing of his soul guide device.
Ling Luochen smiled bitterly and said, "Now I understand why he wants to go home..."
As a senior student, Ling Luochen was sure that this was not a skill that Shrek could possess, let alone something that the outer courtyard could do. Xu Sanshi's martial soul transformation could only come from his family.
He is five years younger than them, but his strength is not much worse than theirs. Why does he stay in the academy? There are many strong people at home. He should have gone back long ago!
Xu Sanshi was not reckless. He stopped rushing forward when he reached Jiang Nannan's vicinity. He focused on being the flower protector and did not take the position from Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu rushed to Dai Yueheng's side, determined to stand by their elder brother.
"I'll help too!"
Thinking of what Master Xuan said, "I will make things difficult for anyone who doesn't come up," He Caitou shouted and rushed forward. Xiao Xiao couldn't find any opportunity to perform, so he and Wang Yan stayed behind as spectators.
Beibei was stimulated, his eyes became firm and arrogant, he let out a long roar, and the lightning around him turned golden.
"Overlord, Thunder Domain!"
Dazzling golden light condensed and formed above Beibei's head. The aura of strength and kingship dominated the world. The golden light burst out like a raging wave, and the golden light spread wherever it passed, with a diameter of twenty meters.
The two men's offensive attacks were both large-scale, and the inner courtyard disciples were forced to rush forward, and there was almost no place to stand.
"Xuanwu?! Golden Holy Dragon?! No wonder you two are called the Twin Stars of the Outer Courtyard. You are really amazing."
While Wang Yan sighed that the academy could not retain talents, he felt somewhat relieved. The situation was very good now. Beibei was not much worse than Xu Sanshi, and Xiaoxiao also had a promising future.
At this moment, a sharp and piercing whistle came from the depths of the cave.
"How dare you trespass into the territory of my Death Messenger! Hehehe, all of you go to hell, I will use my corpse slaves to blow you all up into the sky!"
After hearing this voice, the remaining bandits not only did not show any joy, but instead, despair was revealed in everyone's eyes.
When Xu Sanshi heard this voice, his face changed drastically, and his fourth soul ring shone brightly: "Nannan, Beibei, be careful! Xuanwu replacement!"
The evolved Xuanwu Replacement can directly summon soul masters within a hundred meters to Xu Sanshi's side. Xu Sanshi and Beibei are not only brothers but also lifelong friends. Xu Sanshi forcefully summons Beibei to his back and protects him immediately.
The dark green gas shield expanded, covering Jiang Nannan and Bei Bei. This was the limit of what Xu Sanshi could do in an instant.
Sensing a great crisis, Dai Yueheng instantly activated the three amplifying soul skills of White Tiger Body Barrier, Vajra Transformation, and Demon God Transformation to the maximum. After hesitating for a moment, he flew out and knocked Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu to the ground.
Ling Luochen summoned an ice armor and put it on himself. Wang Yan pulled Xiao Xiao back, and the other students either froze or responded in a split second.
At the critical moment, the corpse lying on the ground swelled at a speed that was difficult to observe, and a faint red light enveloped it.
At this moment, except for Xiao Xiao who was taken away, the other six members of the reserve team were mixed with the main team, even squeezing Ling Luochen to the back.
Beibei was moved away and protected by Xu Sanshi. The corpses left on the ground just surrounded Yao Haoxuan and Xixi's retreat. The terrifying kill numbers of Xuanwu and the Holy Dragon of Light became their fatal numbers.
He Caitou was standing side by side with the inner courtyard soul guidance disciples and was knocked to the ground by his senior. Gong Yangmo had already been knocked to the ground and was frantically looking for cover.
However, thanks to the "enthusiastic help" of his juniors in the reserve team, he was surrounded by corpses, and only the ice armor that Ling Luochen dropped on him from mid-air could bring him a little sense of security.
But this cannot be blamed on the younger students being too enthusiastic. Didn't they listen to what Master Xuan said? Would anyone who doesn't go up be targeted by him?
The next moment, a violent explosion drowned everyone's ears.
"Boom boom!"
The sound of corpses exploding continuously came from the narrow cave, and horrible toxins splattered everywhere along with bloody and flying pieces of corpses.
At the same time as the explosion sounded, Xuan Zi, who was covered in oil, was drinking wine and gnawing on chicken legs under an old tree outside the cave, smacking his lips with great satisfaction, his eyes showing satisfaction.
When the voice filled his ears, Xuanzi was stunned for a moment, and then anger surged into his eyes. He rushed up and turned into a stream of light and flew towards the cave.
Wang Yan, who was holding Xiao Xiao, was blown away by the air wave and collided with Xuan Zi head-on. Xuan Zi pushed the two of them apart and gradually saw everything in the cave clearly.
After blinking for a few seconds, Xuan Zi's eyes turned blood red. His cloudy pupils reflected the tragic scene of blood and flesh all over the sky and corpses all over the ground. They were the fragments of the students who were full of vitality not long ago...
The fear that was like waking up from a nightmare made him so confused and at a loss that he fell to his knees, letting out a long roar from his throat.
"No, no, no! Why? Why is it like this again?!"
