Chapter 96: Reinforcements Arrive
"Not good!"
Zhong Li Wu, at the front, felt a chill run down his spine. His hair stood on end as a bone-chilling coldness surged up his spine to the back of his head.
He turned his head to look, only to see Mu En surrounded by an explosion of golden light. His immense soul power surged like a terrifying wave.
A 100-meter-long golden dragon phantom appeared, with its head held high, roaring towards Zhong Li Wu's direction.
Zhong Li Wu was naturally well aware of the terrifying nature of this move.
Mu En's martial soul carried the power of light, and this move was specifically designed to target evil soul masters.
Although he had forcibly copied Mu En's Limit Douluo strength using the Martial Soul Copy Mirror, this power clashed with his own evil energy, causing a conflict within him.
At this moment, even if he barely managed to block this attack, he would likely suffer serious backlash, potentially leading to severe injury or death.
Zhong Li Wu gritted his teeth, bloodshot eyes, and with all his strength, he mobilized every ounce of power in his body.
At the same time, three Title Douluo from the Holy Spirit Sect quickly moved to his side, each releasing their martial soul and unleashing powerful soul power to block Mu En's attack.
"Boom!"
At the critical moment, the sky suddenly shook violently, and the space seemed to twist like a shattered mirror.
A figure as dark as night slowly emerged, radiating an eerie dark aura, as if even the light was being consumed by it.
It was Long Xiaoyao, the Holy Spirit Sect's leader. His eyes were cold like knives, scanning the battlefield with an air of disdain for all life.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
With a flash, Long Xiaoyao appeared like a ghost in front of Zhong Li Wu, surrounding himself with surging black soul power, which formed a thick black barrier.
Mysterious and dangerous dark patterns flowed across the surface, emitting a strange aura.
Mu En's "Dragon Emperor Shakes the Domain" was vast and mighty, and the golden dragon phantom roared as it collided with Long Xiaoyao's black barrier.
In an instant, it seemed as though the world itself came to a halt, and the powerful light was blinding.
"Boom!" A deafening sound echoed as a powerful soul power storm spread out from the point of impact like ripples.
"Mu En, you've crossed the line."
Long Xiaoyao's voice was deep and cold, as if coming from the depths of the abyss, carrying an undeniable aura of authority.
His figure remained unmoved in the storm of soul power, with black soul power swirling around him, creating an invisible shield that blocked all the rampant soul power.
Mu En's brows furrowed, and he said gravely, "Long Xiaoyao, that 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' is far too evil. If it falls into the hands of the Holy Spirit Sect, it will bring harm to the entire Douluo Continent."
"As a powerful figure of the continent, don't you care about the safety of the people?"
He once again summoned his golden soul power, and the golden dragon phantom behind him roared in response.
Long Xiaoyao sneered coldly, his voice laced with disdain and mockery. "Hmph, Mu En, stop lecturing me with your self-righteous words."
"Douluo Continent is a world where the strong rule. If the Holy Spirit Sect becomes powerful through this technique, what's the problem with that?"
Behind him, a massive black dragon slowly emerged, its body wrapped in black mist. The dragon's scales glowed with a ghostly light, and its mouth opened wide, seemingly capable of devouring everything.
Xuan Lao and the others, seeing this, glared at him with fury. Their soul power surged, and they readied themselves for battle.
Du Bu Si was even more enraged, shouting, "Long Xiaoyao, don't be so stubborn! Today, even if we risk our lives, we cannot let you leave with the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique.'"
Long Xiaoyao remained unfazed. His eyes narrowed as the black soul power around him erupted like a volcano.
A powerful pressure, as if tangible, spread out in all directions.
As his aura intensified, the black dragon behind him grew even larger, coiling in the sky, blocking out the sun, and plunging the entire sky into endless darkness.
The oppressive aura made everyone feel as though it was difficult to breathe, as if a mountain was pressing down on their chests, and even circulating soul power became a challenge.
Then, nine soul rings appeared on Long Xiaoyao's body.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, red, red.
Each soul ring shone brightly, and the unmistakable aura of a Limit Douluo was released without reserve, like an invisible wave that impacted everyone's minds.
"You can try, but whoever dares to stop me today, don't blame me for being rude."
Long Xiaoyao's voice was cold and tyrannical, filled with a threat.
With that, he waved his hand, sending a wave of black energy toward Mu En and the others.
The energy wave, like a massive black serpent, swept toward them.
Wherever it passed, space twisted and the air screamed with a sharp whistle.
Mu En and the others changed expressions, hurriedly mobilizing their soul power to resist.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
They each unleashed their strongest defense techniques. For a moment, various lights flashed, and soul power intertwined.
However, Long Xiaoyao's power was far too overwhelming. The black energy wave surged like an unstoppable tide.
Everyone was forced to retreat, like leaves in the wind, their faces turning pale.
Some of them coughed up blood, clearly suffering severe injuries.
Mu En sighed inwardly. With Long Xiaoyao here today, it seemed impossible to keep Zhong Li Wu and the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique.'
"Hmph!"
Long Xiaoyao saw that Mu En and the others no longer stood in his way. He snorted coldly and disappeared with Zhong Li Wu and the others.
All that was left was a devastated battlefield and the frustrated faces of the remaining fighters.
Zhong Li Wu felt immense joy and gratitude in his heart. He knew that if it weren't for Long Xiaoyao's timely arrival, he might have perished today.
...
At the Holy Spirit Sect Headquarters.
Beneath a blood-red earth, in a mysterious and eerie underground palace.
Zhong Li Wu followed Long Xiaoyao back to the Holy Spirit Sect's headquarters.
The palace was filled with a thick evil aura, with walls embedded with gems emitting ghostly light, illuminating the space but making it even more sinister and terrifying.
"What happened?"
At this moment, a cold and imposing voice came from the darkness.
Soon, a woman in a red dress slowly walked out. Her steps were graceful and composed, exuding a powerful and mysterious aura.
This person was Ye Xishui.
Upon hearing these words, Zhong Li Wu let out a sigh of relief.
At the time, things had been urgent, and he had only had time to send a distress signal, not explaining the situation in detail.
Now, he calmed himself, carefully recalling the entire process, his expression grave.
With a gentle wave of his right hand, a streak of black light flashed, and the 'Sky Devouring Spirit Technique' slowly hovered in the air.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
As the technique appeared, the evil aura in the entire underground palace seemed to be drawn toward it by some mysterious force, like a tidal wave flowing toward the technique and being devoured by it.
The symbols on the surface of the technique flickered, and its light grew brighter, resembling an endless black hole, consuming everything in its path.
"Eh?"
Such an eerie situation immediately shocked both Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.
