Chapter 259: Battle About To Erupt
“Damn it! The road is completely blocked, all teams are separated…”
Tang San punched a piece of falling rock away and shouted loudly.
Rocks kept falling from the sky, completely blocking the roads ahead and behind.
“Don’t panic, try not to use your Martial Soul if possible, dodge if you can, don’t waste Soul Power…”
Flander reminded everyone, his gaze locked on the mountaintop, directly activating his Martial Soul True Body.
“Erlong, protect the kids well, I’ll be right back…”
With that, Flander soared into the air, flying toward the mountaintop.
“Don’t worry, Boss Flander, leave this place to me…”
Liu Erlong’s temperament was extremely volatile, punching away one falling rock after another, her eyes seeming to shoot flames.
“Everyone, don’t scatter, gather toward me…”
Qin Ming shouted, vigorously blocking the surrounding falling rocks; with his Soul Power, dealing with these rocks was no problem at all.
“Xiao Mo!”
In the chaos, Ning Rongrong saw Ling Mo’s puppet body get smashed and subconsciously shouted.
“Rongrong, come back, that’s not Xiao Mo!”
Seeing a falling rock nearly hit him, Tang San stepped forward, blocking that stone, though he still got hit a bit.
The scene was a complete mess, with the teams ahead and behind fully blocked, leaving Shrek Academy truly isolated.
Everyone now really wanted to know who exactly dared to attack even the Imperial Knights.
It was simply too bold; although they had now left Heaven Dou Empire territory, this knight regiment’s strength wasn’t that easy to deal with.
What’s more, there were so many Soul Masters and teachers from various academies, yet the enemy still dared to strike.
After the falling rocks, there was a long period of calm; Flander hovered in the air, apparently seeing something, but hadn’t returned.
“Kids, gather toward me, don’t go more than ten steps away from me…” Liu Erlong said seriously; she had already sensed the hidden killing intent around them.
The earlier falling rocks were just a prelude; the real follow-up was still to come.
At that moment, a whistle sounded from somewhere unknown, atop the mountains on both sides.
Suddenly, thousands of black-clothed people appeared, charging down toward the bottom at an astonishing speed.
With the formation already split, the Soul Masters from the fifteen academies could only rely on their own power to protect themselves.
The surrounding formations were all disrupted; at this point, they could only rely on themselves, no one else.
This force of thousands charged down from the mountaintop in a grand manner, heading to different areas.
“Prepare for battle!”
Liu Erlong said coldly. In the air, Flander was somehow entangled by a black-clothed person; the two had been fiercely battling for a long time, unable to break free.
Down below, only Liu Erlong and Qin Ming were left leading as teachers, with the rest being students.
The Master had already gone to Spirit Hall, so he wasn’t with the team.
Everyone from Shrek was fully prepared, poised and ready, with their Martial Souls already activated.
“Quickly end the battle!”
On the mountaintop, the black-clothed people surrounding Shrek Academy numbered in the hundreds.
The leading black-clothed person said coldly, and as soon as the words fell, he charged down.
His target was Ling Mo, who remained standing motionless on horseback; from the start of the riot until now, Ling Mo had stayed on the horse without any movement.
He had observed for a long time and couldn’t figure it out! He was extremely puzzled, suspecting several times that it wasn’t Ling Mo.
But Ling Mo was indeed right there, which was simply too eerie.
“Everyone, don’t move!”
Seeing that black-clothed person charging toward Ling Mo, the others wanted to resist, but were all stopped by Liu Erlong.
Only then did everyone remember that Ling Mo had already left; that wasn’t Ling Mo himself.
A golden light flashed, as the black-clothed person went straight for Ling Mo, aiming to kill him on the spot.
As long as he died, this ambush mission would be complete! And he would claim first-class merit.
“Die!”
Shining with light, the black-clothed person charged straight at Ling Mo; suddenly, when his palm struck Ling Mo’s body, a metallic twisting sound rang out.
“Oh no, it’s fake!”
By the time he realized it, the explosion at the spot had already erupted, instantly kicking up massive dust and shaking the entire canyon with the violent blast.
“Such huge power! This explosive force could instantly destroy a Soul Douluo-level strong expert, even a defense-type Soul Master.”
Liu Erlong was shocked; she had only suspected it before, but she never expected the follow-up Ling Mo left behind to have such great power.
The dozens of people who attacked simultaneously were also engulfed by the explosion, as hundreds of steel needles shot out, killing them on the spot.
And that black-clothed person attacking Ling Mo, even with his Soul Douluo-level Soul Power, was instantly devoured by the explosion, not even leaving scraps.
This perverse destructive power stunned everyone, their faces filled with disbelief.
“Heavens! This explosive power is truly too terrifying…”
“This is simply a divine artifact!”
For a moment, let alone those black-clothed people, everyone from Shrek was dumbfounded.
“Damn it! We fell for it, serves him right…”
Behind them, several black-clothed people exchanged glances, cursing nonstop.
The one who acted earlier was on the same level as them, but unfortunately, eager for merit, he tried to seize the opportunity.
He never expected to be tricked, blown to bits with nothing left.
No one sympathized with him; everyone was there for the merit.
“Everyone, be careful!”
After the explosion’s aftermath passed, Liu Erlong protected the group, standing in front.
She could sense that there were still several powerful enemies ahead, each with Soul Power surpassing hers.
If the Golden Iron Triangle were here, they might have a chance to hold off a wave, but unfortunately the Master wasn’t there, Flander was tied up, leaving only her and Qin Ming.
“Damn it, where the hell did that kid Xiao Mo go? Can’t find him at the critical moment…”
The situation was dire, and even Liu Erlong couldn’t help cursing.
Damn it, he’s always bragging when it’s not important, but gone when it counts.
If he were here, he could probably take down a few; after all, his strength was something even Flander couldn’t handle, so dealing with these people should be no issue.
As for Qin Ming, he could hold off one at best; against the remaining hundreds, there was no chance.
“Everyone, take one of these…”
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing took out small boxes from her Soul Tool, shaped like a peacock’s tail, very exquisite.
“This is, Peacock Plume?”
Tang San was shocked; he never expected Zhu Zhuqing to have so many Peacock Plumes, and from the feel, these Peacock Plumes were even more terrifying than the ones he knew.
“That’s right, this is what he gave me before leaving! One per person, should hold them off for a while…”
Zhu Zhuqing replied calmly; everything in her hands was given by Ling Mo, each treasure possessing enormous killing power.
And this Peacock Plume was an even greater killing weapon; it might even work against Soul Douluo-level strong experts.
What Ling Mo lacked least now were these things; he could craft hundreds of Peacock Plumes, enough to equip almost every Ghost Gate disciple, depending on whether Ling Mo wanted to give them.
“Good stuff! Everyone, grab one quick; use these against them, not only saving Soul Power, but with even greater killing power than Martial Souls.
Aunt Erlong, you take one too; use this against those few Soul Douluos, one shot can take out several…”
No one knew the power of the Peacock Plume better than Tang Sect, especially the upgraded version modified by Ling Mo.
He couldn’t make them himself, but… he could tell.
Sigh! Performance is getting worse day by day, dropped to the bottom of the list again
