"Prepare to leave here."
Lin Xiao suddenly spoke, and Juzi, who was beside him, put down the soul-guiding telescope in her hand and turned around. "What did you say?"
"A Titled Douluo is coming. If we leave now, there's still time."
"Impossible." Juzi shook her head. "I know the whereabouts of all Titled Douluo belonging to the Empire. The rebel army simply doesn't have such combat power."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao looked up at the sky, his eyes slightly narrowing. "Perhaps they're not here because of the war."
While Lin Xiao was speaking, the two figures approaching from afar were getting closer, and only then did Lin Xiao clearly see that their situation was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
It wasn't two Titled Douluo arriving together; rather, it looked like one was chasing the other in the air.
"No matter what, let's leave here first. Ordinary people can't intervene in battles between the Titled Douluo. Staying here might get us caught in the crossfire."
"Alright."
Juzi nodded and said no more. However, just as she was about to leave with Lin Xiao, a pale white light exploded in the sky.
Juzi's expression changed. She reached into her storage soul tool and took out the token that Xu Tianran had given her, spreading her palm open. The token was vibrating nonstop in her hand.
"What's going on?"
Juzi looked up at Lin Xiao. Xu Tianran hadn't mentioned anything like this happening when he gave her the token.
Under Lin Xiao's mask, his brows were tightly furrowed. Not just Juzi's, but the token he kept in his storage soul tool was also slightly trembling, and this was all because of the bright light just now.
As tokens of the Holy Spirit Cult, these items appeared ordinary on the surface, but they were inscribed with numerous soul-guiding array patterns to distinguish authenticity.
These array patterns also served the function of receiving signals. The one who had just released that signal should be one of the elders or consecrators from the Holy Spirit Cult.
Judging by the flight trajectory, the two should have come from the direction of the Heavenly Soul Empire. That elder or consecrator had only released the distress signal after entering the Sun Moon Empire's territory.
But who was the Titled Douluo that had been chasing him all this time?
"Put it away first. We can't intervene in matters between Titled Douluo."
Lin Xiao shook his head and led Juzi away into the distance. At that moment, a dragon's roar echoed from the sky.
A cyan-green light illuminated the entire sky, even brightening the battlefield on the ground.
A long spear streaked across the horizon like a giant dragon. Lin Xiao turned back upon hearing the sound, and with that glance, he saw exactly the moment when half the body of the Titled Douluo who had been pursued instantly vanished.
Titled Douluo, long spear, dragon...
In that instant of light, these images flashed before Lin Xiao's eyes, and a name rose in his mind.
Cai Mei'er.
Why were people from Shrek Academy here? Were they looking for Ma Xiaotao?
Before Lin Xiao could figure it out, a voice came from afar in the sky.
"Put down that girl!"
"Stop! If you take one more step, I'll make this little girl accompany me to hell. Heh, or perhaps, in front of so many people, you want everyone to see how Shrek Academy disregards the lives of ordinary people?"
"Nonsense!" Cai Mei'er lightly rebuked, but her heart was wary of the consequences. Her figure stopped in the air and advanced no further.
Frowning at the person before her, under the previous attack, half of that person's body had completely disappeared, with large patches of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs constantly falling to the ground.
Cai Mei'er knew that even as a Titled Douluo, the opponent wouldn't last long with such injuries, so she simply stopped in place and waited.
The severely injured Titled Douluo was breathing heavily. The hood on his head had been blown off by the high-altitude wind, but he no longer cared about concealing his appearance.
On the ground, Lin Xiao looked at the face illuminated by the cyan light and paused slightly. It was precisely the masked Douluo that the Holy Spirit Cult had sent to the Heavenly Soul Empire.
The masked Douluo's left half of his body was already gone, and his remaining right arm tightly held a slender figure.
He knew clearly that whether he could escape Cai Mei'er's pursuit depended on this person.
"What's wrong? Do you know that person?"
Juzi, who was fleeing, turned back and glanced at Lin Xiao.
"Don't mind him. Let's go quickly." Lin Xiao frowned, his figure rushing forward again without the slightest intention of stopping to help the masked Douluo.
Even if he used all his means, he might not gain any advantage against Cai Mei'er, let alone the fact that in the eyes of the Holy Spirit Cult, he was just an ordinary evil soul master. Dealing with a Titled Douluo wasn't something he should be able to do.
Moreover, his relationship with the masked Douluo wasn't that close.
Juzi had already seen the two figures in the sky and asked no more questions, simply lowering her head and following as they left.
High in the sky, the masked Douluo glanced down. The war on the ground was nearing its end.
The Sun Moon Empire's army had been ambushed at night, and with their commander assassinated in the chaos, they hadn't organized any decent resistance before the rebels charged into the camp.
The entire scene was almost a one-sided slaughter, with large patches of blood splattered across the battlefield, seemingly still steaming faintly.
The masked Douluo's eyes shifted, and he suddenly looked up at Cai Mei'er, his right arm gripping the figure in his hand even tighter.
"Back off!"
Cai Mei'er frowned slightly upon hearing this, but her figure remained motionless.
"What? Does the self-proclaimed righteous Shrek Academy really want to watch an ordinary person die?"
"You dare?" Cai Mei'er's voice was ice-cold. "If you leave her behind, I can let you go."
"Hmph." The masked Douluo snorted coldly, his tone laced with disdain. However, in the next instant, he suddenly loosened his right arm. "Alright."
"What?" Seeing the figure that the masked Douluo had carried all the way to the Sun Moon Empire being thrown toward the ground, Cai Mei'er had no time to attack and flew down to chase after it.
However, when she caught the figure, a sticky, moist sensation suddenly came from her hands.
Looking down, what she had saved was not the girl that the masked Douluo had been holding, but an extremely ugly insect that was still wriggling in her hands.
"Roar—"
A dragon's roar sounded, and cyan-green light rose from beside Cai Mei'er. The massive insect in her hand instantly evaporated completely.
She looked up sharply, and the masked Douluo was already fleeing into the distance again.
Soul power surged within Cai Mei'er, her soul rings lighting up around her. Holding the spear with both hands, in the next instant, her figure, along with the spear, transformed into a hundred-meter-long giant dragon charging toward the masked Douluo.
Cai Mei'er's soul power level originally surpassed the masked Douluo's, and with the latter injured, she caught up in just a few breaths. In the next moment, the masked Douluo's figure completely disappeared into the dragon's mouth.
