Chapter 312 The Last Resort.
While Xuan Mo was hesitating, a strange glint flashed in the eyes of Ryder behind Will.
However, neither Xuan Mo nor the numerous evil soul masters noticed this, as they were all focused on the other party.
"Hehehe! Have you thought it through?"
Sensing Will's rising killing intent, Xuan Mo knew that time could not be delayed any longer. Clearly, Will had lost patience to continue negotiating.
"I've thought it through, and that is... die!"
A moment ago, the Lava Lord's aura instantly subsided.
Even the boiling magma around his body gradually calmed down. But just as Xuan Mo was calculating that Will would relax even slightly because of this, the next second, the Lava Lord erupted, like a dormant volcano, bursting forth again.
"Lava Volcano!"
The already enormous fist, under the volcanic eruption, was completely enveloped in magma, growing several times larger.
With the force of a bombardment, it slammed into Will.
As Xuan Mo predicted, Will's tension eased slightly after witnessing the Lava Lord's aura weaken. After all, over the past few months, he had come to know Xuan Mo; with his thick eyebrows and large eyes, he was clearly not someone who would resort to tricks.
But this situation… was a bit of a slap in the face…
However, being an evil soul master, he was suspicious and ruthless, and wasn't completely fooled by Xuan Mo's actions. Coupled with his high cultivation level, he reacted promptly.
His soul rings flashed, and a surge of spiritual power emanated from Will, combined with the powerful soul force of a Soul Douluo, erecting a sinister protective shield in front of all the evil soul masters.
"Boom!"
Instantly, lava splattered across the shield.
Even though the Lava Lord's attack was powerful, it was a hasty strike and not particularly strong.
And naturally, Will easily blocked it.
"Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences!"
As the protective shield dissipated and the black smoke from the lava attack cleared, the figures of Will and his companions were revealed, along with Will's ferocious, vicious, and decaying face.
"Since you refuse to surrender, then die!"
The Lava Lord preemptively struck.
Xuan Mo knew that if he didn't act now, he would have no chance.
His previous attack, though weak, was merely a probe.
After all, his goal wasn't a direct confrontation.
However, to avoid harming Oscar and the others, his area-of-effect soul skills were restricted and unusable.
The Lava Lord swept his hand, and the dripping lava on the ground immediately boiled, condensing into a large sword in his palm.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo enveloped the blade with "The Meaning of Heavy Rock," causing the lava sword's blade to change from dark red to purplish-black, and its power and gravity increased significantly.
Facing the evil soul master and Will...
The Lava Lord crouched slightly, his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword.
Then, he turned his massive body and unleashed a powerful horizontal slash towards the side of the evil spirit masters and Will.
But what happened next was completely unexpected for Xuan Mo.
At this moment, Will, facing the menacing sweep of the sword, didn't even raise an eyelid. After revealing a strange smile, he slightly raised his withered, wooden finger and pointed it towards the blade.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
Two figures darted out from behind the floating Will, briefly leaping high into the air with their superior physical abilities or soul power, and positioned themselves in front of the blade as Will instructed.
These two figures were not evil spirit masters.
Instead, they were the two strongest defenders on Xuan Mo's side, besides Xuan Mo himself, the controlled Jin Sanqian and Mu Lin.
At this moment, both of them had completed their Martial Soul Possession.
"What?! Despicable..."
After a moment of stunned silence, while cursing Will for his despicable act, he immediately and forcefully withdrew the power from the Lava Lord's blade.
If the blade had landed, even with their strong defenses, given the Lava Lord's current state and Mu Lin's depleted health, they would have been blasted into bloody pulp or cut in half.
Will had used Jin Sanqian and Willda's special identities as human shields to prevent the Lava Lord's blade from falling.
"Buzz..."
Due to Xuan Mo's concerns, he manipulated the Lava Lord to forcibly withdraw the force of the strike, causing a portion of the impact to recoil and shake the Lava Lord violently.
The previously sweeping Lava Lord's blade, having withdrawn its power, did not unleash its full force.
However, even with Xuan Mo's withdrawal, the moment the remaining impact struck Jin Sanqian and Mu Lin, the sheer power turned their faces deathly pale in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, two "whoosh" sounds rang out.
Unable to stop them, Jin Sanqian and Mulin were blasted backward by the lava greatsword.
The force of their initial leap caused them to crash to the ground, coughing up blood.
"Hehehe! Now let's see how you do it..."
Will chuckled sinisterly, waving his hand. Oscar, Ryder, and the others stepped behind him. "Hehehe! I have plenty of meat shields behind me."
"You bastard..."
The Lava Lord stood up, gripping the hilt of his greatsword tightly. For a moment, he was at a loss.
After all, they were brothers and comrades; Xuan Mo couldn't bring himself to attack Oscar and Ryder.
But just as Xuan Mo was caught in a dilemma, a voice suddenly broke the silence.
"Is that so? Then I'm sorry, what follows might disappoint you."
Will was startled to hear the familiar voice behind him.
Having spent several months with them, he was familiar with the voices of Xuan Mo and the others.
The voice that rang out at that moment clearly belonged to Ryder.
But logically, everyone should be under his control, so why was he acting this way…
Could it be because…?
Before he could finish his thought, Ryder, who had "recovered" his composure behind Will, used his soul skill to condense an umbrella-shaped blood sword at top speed.
Then, gathering his soul power, he used all his strength to deliver a powerful, unsuspecting blow to Will's back, sending a streak of blood spurting from behind.
Now, not only was Will, who had used his soul skill and personally controlled the sword, completely dumbfounded, but even Xuan Mo, who witnessed this scene, was visibly bewildered.
