Chapter 258 Unexpected Soul Beasts.
At this moment, facing this almost overwhelming battle, the Scorpion Tiger and the Wind Eagle roared, their eyes glowing even brighter with red light, but they showed no intention of retreating. Instead, they seemed to have fully unleashed their ferocity, attacking desperately.
However, in Xuan Mo's eyes, the current state of these two soul beasts was even more abnormal than Xuan Mo had previously discovered.
"Damn it! What's going on? Don't they value their lives?! Even in this state, they still won't retreat!"
The Ancient Coiled Dragon glanced at the Dragon Shield mercenary group, which had already suffered casualties, and his heart was bleeding.
"It seems that not only is this beast tide man-made, but even these three ten-thousand-year soul beasts are completely controlled by the mastermind."
"No, we must finish this quickly!"
After expending most of his soul power, a mysterious energy fluctuation erupted from Xuan Mo's body. The "Dragon Devouring Domain" unfolded, instantly enveloping the entire front half of the valley.
"This is..."
Sensing the comprehensive boost, the Ancient Coiled Dragon, which had been driving the Scorpion Tiger into retreat but had been unable to defeat for so long, showed a hint of joy.
However, seeing Xuan Mo's slightly pale face, it didn't hesitate for long... At the same time, in the rear of the beast tide, a hidden figure slowly appeared. It had actually used its mental power to isolate everyone's senses and was lurking in the dust of the beast tide, slowly approaching the Wind Eagle.
"You brat, be careful. A soul beast has used its mental power to isolate all of your senses and is coming over here."
"What?!"
Xuan Mo, who had just repelled the Wind Eagle, was startled when he heard the Fire Dragon King's warning in his mind. Immediately, cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Looking in the direction the Fire Dragon King had warned him, he saw a very strange-looking soul beast gradually approaching him.
This soul beast was suspended in mid-air, looking somewhat like a balloon, but it was actually a huge eye. It was a full meter in diameter, and the eye was blood red.
Others on the Douluo Continent might not know this soul beast, but Xuan Mo knew it inside and out.
However, the moment he saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"This soul beast is the Evil Eye Tyrant! How did it appear on the Douluo Continent!?"
Suddenly, the Fire Dragon King said, "You brat, be careful, it has the same aura as that human, and even those soul beasts have it."
"Huh?"
Before Xuan Mo could react, the Evil Eye Tyrant and the Wind Eagle moved instantly, black tentacles and wind blades attacking from several different directions, blocking all escape routes. But at this moment, the blood-soaked figure of the Ancient Coiled Dragon stood in front of Xuan Mo. Then, the Coiled Dragon Staff in his hand spun like a windmill, and the golden dragon on the staff seemed to come alive, swirling into a huge golden ring with bursts of dragon roars, blocking all the attacks.
"Brother Ancient Coiled Dragon..."
It turned out that after Xuan Mo activated his Domain Soul Skill...
"Coiled Dragon Roar!"
With the amplification, the Ancient Coiled Dragon directly used its fifth soul skill. A more powerful soul force than before erupted, and just as the Scorpion Tiger was stunned, the Coiled Dragon Staff followed suit.
"Boom!"
The next second, the staff struck and the soul vanished, and a huge head exploded like a watermelon, brains and blood splattering into the beast horde, leaving only a headless corpse in the valley.
At this moment, "Get the hell out of my way!"
After blocking the attack, the Ancient Coiled Dragon used the Coiled Dragon Staff to stomp on the ground, barely stabilizing its body, and then secretly swallowed back the blood that was about to spit out.
"Brother Mo, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
At this moment, Xuan Mo's pale face, caused by activating a large-scale domain, had regained its rosy color.
"But... how should we deal with this soul beast!"
Xuan Mo and the Ancient Coiled Dragon exchanged glances, a trace of fear flashing in their eyes.
Because judging from the aura erupting from the Evil Eye Tyrant, its cultivation seemed to have reached about 50,000 years, which was far beyond their current ability to deal with.
However, the Evil Eye Tyrant didn't give them time to think. Its single eye flashed, and strange, distorted light patterns spread outwards, as if the brown markings around its head had become illusory.
Even within a radius of several hundred meters, everything distorted—this was the Evil Eye Tyrant's ultimate technique, "Mental Force Field."
Just then, a dazzling red light suddenly flashed within the Evil Eye Tyrant's evil eye.
Seeing this, Qian Gu Panlong and Xuan Mo immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
Qian Gu Panlong threw the Panlong Staff into the air, shouting, "Old Xu, hurry up and make your move! Otherwise, we're all doomed!"
Hearing this, Xu Lei ignored the Mighty Baboon and retreated frantically. After escaping the range, the Xuanming Shield was also thrown away, and the two martial souls instantly unleashed powerful soul force, merging together. What Qian Gu Panlong and Xu Lei were doing now was to complement and merge the energy they unleashed, activating an extremely powerful defensive martial soul combination technique.
"Panlong Xuanming—Shield of Life!"
The instant the Evil Eye Tyrant unleashed its energy beam, a tortoise-shell shield imbued with a dragon soul appeared before everyone. Before that, a three-colored blade of light slashed down at the Evil Eye Tyrant before the shield fully formed.
"Heaven-Slaying Dragon-Slaying Blade!"
"Boom!"
As the dust settled, Xuan Mo and his companions emerged, each swaying precariously, blood gushing from their mouths. Before them, the Evil Eye Tyrant had vanished, leaving only the silhouettes of numerous soul beasts and various soul rings.
Among these soul beasts, the Wind Eagle, severely injured by Xuan Mo, and the Mighty Baboon, locked in a stalemate with Xu Lei, had both perished.
Therefore, only the Evil Eye Tyrant had left. However, the expressions on Xuan Mo and his companions' faces were grim. Only those who had fought the Evil Eye Tyrant knew that these soul beasts hadn't been killed by them. Instead, they had been instantly killed by the Evil Eye Tyrant's mental power, resulting in brain death.
"This soul beast is definitely not the mastermind!"
Qian Gu Panlong looked at the heavily damaged Dragon Shield mercenary group, his face turning ashen, his fists clenched, and his anger soaring.
"Let's clean up first and go back to the city."
Xu Lei was very calm at this moment. After asking Xuan Mo if he wanted to come along, he endured his own injuries and forced himself to stand up to organize the remaining members of the Dragon Shield mercenary group.
The members of the Dragon Shield mercenary group did not complain much. Because entering this line of work meant being prepared to die at any time.
"Uncle Huo, Uncle Bing, that soul beast..."
"Don't think about it."
At this moment, Xuan Mo had already focused his mind on his sea of consciousness. He was interrupted by the Fire Dragon King just as he was about to attack the Ice and Fire Dragon King.
"I know what you're thinking. But let me tell you, that soul beast has 70,000 years of cultivation and 50,000 years of lifespan; it's just hiding it with its spiritual power. If that guy weren't afraid of death, even the dragon souls Old Bing and I unleashed wouldn't have scared it away. So if it stays, you'll just be toyed with to death. But don't worry, because that guy is too cautious, Old Bing and I can no longer sense its aura in the far south."
The Fire Dragon King's words made Xuan Mo feel powerless. "You brat, you need to step up your game."
"I know..."
