Xu Xiaoyan muttered softly, "Gu Yue has the Blacksmith Association President as her teacher, so she doesn't have to worry about mecha and battle armor at all."
Xie Xie chuckled, "By the way, does President Zhenhua still accept disciples? Gu Yue, do you think I can do it?"
Ye Xinglan mercilessly struck down that idea, "Come on, the dignified Blacksmith Association President, how could he possibly take a liking to you!"
Xu Lizhi echoed, "Exactly, exactly, I remember President Zhenhua once announced that Gu Yue is his last disciple!"
Gu Yue didn't respond, but her eyes seemed to say it all...
Just then, Yue Zhengyu noticed that Xie Xie's face was turning red at a visible speed...
Confused, he asked, "Xie Xie, what's wrong? You look like your face suddenly turned ugly, wasn't it that my words deeply hurt you?"
Xie Xie clutched his chest, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, "I... feel so awful! Inside my body feels like a furnace burning hot!"
Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed, he immediately extended his hand to sense the soul power...
After investigating the internal situation, he exclaimed, "How can this be? Xie Xie's soul power is extremely chaotic, and his Martial Soul keeps impacting his body!"
Yuanen Yehui asked urgently, "Xie Xie, how are you, can you hold on?"
Xie Xie forced a thumbs up, "Don't worry, Yehui, I... I can still hold on!"
Gu Yue interrupted coldly, "Xie Xie, stop talking nonsense, immediately gather your soul power and suppress the rampaging Martial Soul..."
"If you can't suppress the Martial Soul, you may suffer terrifying backlash!"
With tears in her eyes, Yuanen Yehui choked up, "Xie Xie, listen to Gu Yue, quickly suppress your Martial Soul with all your might!"
She really didn't want anything to happen to the man she acknowledged!
That would be a lifetime of regret!
Listening to her, Xie Xie immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, trying to circulate his soul power to suppress the Martial Soul...
But judging from his chest that kept trembling, the situation was clearly not optimistic!
Xu Lizhi knew he couldn't be of much help, and said, "Um, everyone, watch over Xie Xie here, I'll go find the teacher!"
"No need, I'm already here!" Before he could act, Long Yeyue's voice sounded...
Everyone saw the sudden appearance of the former and respectfully said, "Elder Long!"
Yuanen Yehui urgently said, "Elder Long, please check on Xie Xie, the situation in his body is a complete mess!"
Long Yeyue didn't respond but went to Xie Xie's backside, extending a hand to press on his head...
Then a massive spiritual power erupted instantly, directly perceiving the condition inside him...
After a moment, she was surprised, "It shouldn't be, this child does not seem to be suffering from a curse-type attack, moreover, his Martial Soul is transforming on its own, he shouldn't be feeling pain!"
Tang Wulin asked, confused, "Transformation? Elder Long, could you explain more specifically?"
The others looked bewildered, not understanding the meaning of the words...
Long Yeyue glanced at everyone and explained, "Simply put, Xie Xie's Martial Soul has likely mutated as his soul power rank increased! No, it's more accurate to say it evolved!"
"As long as he can endure the tearing pain, he will have even greater potential!"
She always thought Xie Xie's talent was just a foil among the Shrek Seven Monsters, not expecting such a thing to happen!
She had clearly underestimated him!
.....
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped talking and simultaneously released their Martial Souls...
The soul rings beneath their feet lit up one by one, releasing area-effect soul skills...
"Fourth Soul Skill, Sword Starfall!!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Light and Shadow Twin Dragon Drill!"
"Eighth Soul Skill…"
"Bang!!"
At the same time, the Sea God's Light shattered, and the protective shield enveloping everyone disappeared, as a sky full of blood needles came rushing in...
Just like that, the opposing attacks clashed with each other, and the situation fell into a stalemate...
Panting heavily, Tang Wulin said to Xie Xie, "Xie Xie, you have to interrupt that guy's move, otherwise, we'll just remain in a passive state, wasting soul power in vain!"
Xie Xie immediately understood, nodding, "Got it!!"
The next second, his whole body turned into a stream of light, slashing all the blood needles in front of him, aiming to stab at the Ghost Emperor's head...
The Ghost Emperor saw this and mocked with a slow tone, "Hmph, just increasing speed, you really think you can get close to me?"
With that said, he was forced to halt the blood needle attack and stretched out his palm towards Xie Xie, who was less than two meters away...
And gave a fierce squeeze...
The pressure in the surrounding space suddenly skyrocketed, and an extraordinarily strong suction erupted from him...
Suspended in mid-air, Xie Xie's body became incomparably heavy, and under the strong suction, he swayed, flying towards the Ghost Emperor...
His heart sank, thinking, "Not good!!"
If he were caught by the Ghost Emperor, his life would likely be in grave danger!!
With that thought, he released even more soul power, attempting to break free from this incredibly strong suction...
But to little effect...
Seeing that Xie Xie was about to be grasped by the neck, the Ghost Emperor sneered, "It's over..."
Ye Xinglan and the others, aware of the situation, naturally wouldn't let it succeed...
They swiftly closed in on the Ghost Emperor, launching attacks from all directions...
"Bang!!"
Caught off guard, the Ghost Emperor was hit with their full-force attack, descending downward...
Tang Wulin, arriving shortly afterward, anxiously asked, "Xie Xie, are you alright?"
Xie Xie shook his head, saying with lingering fear, "For now, I'm fine, but a moment later, it might have been a problem!"
This Ghost Emperor, indeed having broken through to God Rank, is even more formidable than imagined!
Ye Xinglan's gaze was tightly locked on the front, "The Ghost Emperor just forcibly suffered a joint attack from the four of us; he should have been severely injured!"
"Why not take this opportunity to kill him completely!"
Liang Xiaoyu, however, cautiously said, "No... something's not right, the Ghost Emperor's aura hasn't weakened at all, instead... it's become even stronger!"
Guo Xiaoxu frowned, "But that attack just now definitely hit him..."
Tang Wulin explained, "After reaching God Rank, the Ghost Emperor's physical body has also reached an extraordinarily terrifying level; that attack just now likely couldn't inflict significant damage on him!"
He had fought the opponent for so long, fully aware that the latter's physical strength was not inferior to his own Complete Dragon Transformation!
"Hahahahaha... it seems you still have some sense of reality, thinking such a degree of attack could gravely wound me, delusional!!"
The Ghost Emperor, who had fallen before, flew up again, his gaze scorching as he looked down at Tang Wulin and the others...
Xie Xie clenched his fist, looking fiercely, "Damn it... then how do we fight this? We can't beat him, and we can't escape!"
They initially thought that entering the barrier would help Tang Wulin slay the Ghost Emperor, but now it seems they might all fall here!!
Ye Xinglan softly reassured, "Xie Xie, stay calm, the Ghost Emperor's strength is undeniable, but he's definitely not invincible!"
Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu nodded in agreement...
