Chapter 300 Bombarding the Dead City.
Inside the city.
Ruins and rubble were everywhere.
Collapsed buildings and overgrown vegetation were scattered about. Rusty broken swords, shattered spears, corroded arrowheads, and even dilapidated soul-guided cannons, along with sparse holes in the walls, were all traces of the battle.
This silently told the story of the brutal war that this city had experienced, or had just experienced.
But what horrified Xuan Mo even more was that the city was not only desolate but also incredibly eerie.
The city was littered with desiccated corpses, like mountains of skeletons and forests of bones. Some had been reduced to ashes, while others had been disemboweled, their tendons tangled in the eaves. The scene was utterly gruesome.
"What... what happened?"
Xuan Mo was completely stunned, for this horrific sight far surpassed anything he had ever witnessed before.
But soon, when he saw the mysterious patterns depicted on the city walls, Xuanmo understood that it was all the work of those evil soul masters.
"They're massacring the city!"
Just as Xuanmo saw this scene, his killing intent surging and his teeth clenched, the Fire Dragon King's voice rang out again, "You brat, their intentions aren't just to massacre the city."
With another wave of the Ice Dragon King's claws, the scene before Xuanmo's eyes once more turned into mist and vanished into thin air.
"Old Huo and I can tell you with certainty that there are still evil soul power fluctuations within that city."
Looking at the serious-faced Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, Xuanmo immediately understood their meaning. It was simply that the evil soul masters had laid numerous ambushes, waiting for them to take the bait.
As soon as Xuanmo thought of this, he immediately relaxed his mind and pulled his consciousness back from his sea of consciousness.
"Brother Mo, are you alright?"
At this moment, Xuanmo, who had just woken up, was immediately grabbed by the shoulder by Ma Hongjun, who looked at him anxiously.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Xuan Mo waved his hand, then looked at the "incredibly noisy" city not far away. His murderous aura immediately erupted, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"Everyone, I'm afraid we need to do something."
"Huh?"
Everyone was taken aback.
But before they could ask, Xuan Mo chuckled and began to explain to Ma Hongjun and the others.
"If we go in now, we'll be sitting ducks for those evil soul masters."
Looking at the city not far away in the illusion, "That city has been turned into a dead city by those evil soul masters. And they're hiding inside, probably planning to ambush us."
Hearing Xuan Mo's words, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
"How is that possible? If they massacre the city, wouldn't their empire's forces notice?"
"Notice?"
Xuan Mo repeated, flicking his fingers.
"Let's not even talk about the nearest armed forces, which are most likely the territorial defense forces we just saw. Not only are they not allowed to return before the appointed time, but their patrol area is also so far away that they couldn't possibly detect them. Moreover, I suspect that within this Sun Moon Empire..."
Xuan Mo murmured, then stopped speaking. At this moment, although no one knew what Xuan Mo was hesitating to say, no one asked. They just stared at Xuan Mo. Out of complete trust in Xuan Mo, Ryder stepped forward and asked, "So what do you plan to do?"
Xuan Mo raised an eyebrow at this, looked at the "distant" city, and instantly smiled.
However, this smile was terrifyingly fierce.
"What to do? Hehe..."
"Hehehe! They're here..."
In a hidden place within the city, a large group of people clad in black robes were all hiding.
The leader of the black-robed men scanned the surroundings and couldn't help but let out a "hehehe" laugh, which gave others a very cruel feeling.
Nearby, hidden behind a collapsed city wall, numerous evil spirit masters wore sinister and cruel smiles.
Through the illusion they themselves had created, they quickly realized that Xuan Mo and his group had reached the city gates. Once they stepped through, they would be ambushed by the evil spirit masters.
"Do you think that master's information is reliable?"
Just as the last evil spirit master asked this question, his head suddenly exploded, and his body fell to the ground.
The other evil spirit masters showed no reaction, merely watching coldly, as if the death of this evil spirit master had nothing to do with them.
At this moment, the leader of the evil spirit masters grinned maliciously.
"Hehehe! You dare doubt what that master said? I think you really don't want to live anymore."
Licking the blood from his fingers, the leading evil spirit master, whether speaking to the others or muttering to himself, said, "Although the master mobilized us, he didn't report it. But according to the master's orders, there's a big fish in here. It's said that only we can complete this mission, so our reward will definitely be substantial."
Then, he coldly glanced at the other evil spirit masters beside him, "We don't need to alert them. We just need to wait for them to enter the city..."
"Whoosh—"
Just then, before the leading evil spirit master could finish speaking, a piercing whistling sound rang out.
Then, less than three breaths later, the numerous evil spirit masters saw a powerful soul energy cannonball slam into the city and explode violently.
"Boom..."
The next second, the sound was deafening.
The aftershocks of the soul energy bombardment immediately spread in all directions.
Large areas of ruins were instantly reduced to rubble.
The scene was shocking.
"What's going on?!"
"Where did they get these half-finished products from?!" A series of piercing screams instantly swept through the entire city.
"Quiet down!" At this moment, the leader of the evil spirit masters' shrill cries echoed throughout the chaotic city.
"Bang bang bang!"
The utterly chaotic scene quieted down instantly as several headless corpses fell to the ground again.
At this moment, several other evil spirit masters stood beside the leader.
Looking at the gradually quieting scene, they all gazed towards Xuan Mo and his group outside the city gate.
Then, a cold smile involuntarily crept onto their faces.
Because in their eyes, Xuan Mo and his group's current actions were nothing more than a death throes.
