"Ziwei Palace, what a Ziwei Palace!"
Looking around, Blood Soul Douluo's face was incredibly grim.
He had just counted and discovered that before him stood eight Soul Douluo and eighteen Soul Sages!
With no Titled Douluo among them, this lineup was still comparable to one of the top three sects!
Even though Blood Soul was powerful, his fists were no match for so many hands!
At this moment, he was regretting his decision more than ever. He never should have disobeyed the Cult Master's orders and come out to confront Ji Chen!
If heaven gave him another chance, he would have stayed far, far away from Ji Chen and never dared to come out and act so arrogant.
Meanwhile, on the ground, seeing the powerful fighters of his side gathering one after another, Zhou Chen immediately stopped the incantation for the Annihilation Heaven Seal.
With subordinates to do the work, as the palace master, he naturally had no desire to risk his own life.
"Milord, all the combat power of our Xuanwu Clan has arrived. Just say the word—how many pieces should we tear this old dog into today?"
A middle-aged man, his chest and back covered in a yellow-brown turtle shell and seven soul rings circling his body, landed on the ground. He cupped his fists toward Zhou Chen and said respectfully.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shi Feng, who was unconscious in Zhou Chen's arms, covered in blood.
"Great-Grandfather Xuan!"
The middle-aged man's face paled with shock, and he instantly wailed, "Great-Grandfather Xuan, how are you?! If you're not dead, say something!"
At his words, all the Xuanwu Clan's fighters on the ground and in the sky turned to look, their expressions growing more horrified by the second.
Looking at this fool, Zhou Chen couldn't help but comfort him, "Don't worry, the old man just overexerted himself and fainted from exhaustion."
"That's good, that's good."
The middle-aged man was filled with relief, but then his expression suddenly changed as his eyes filled with hatred as he looked up at Blood Soul Douluo in the sky.
He gritted his teeth and said, "It was you old bastard who beat Great-Grandfather Xuan like this?! If I don't tear you to pieces today, I'll write my family name backwards!"
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man's seventh soul ring suddenly lit up. He instantly unleashed his Xuan Turtle Avatar, his feet stomping the ground as he transformed into a turtle sphere and shot toward Blood Soul Douluo in the sky!
It wasn't just him. Nearly all the Soul Douluo and Soul Sages of the Xuanwu Turtle Clan released their martial soul avatars at the same time. Nearly twenty giant Xuanwu Turtles smashed down upon Blood Soul Douluo from all directions, making his face turn green!
Just one old turtle like Shi Feng had shaken his very being.
If twenty turtle spheres came at him at once, wouldn't they flatten him?
He couldn't take this head-on!
Faced with the Xuanwu Clan's aggressive siege, Blood Soul Douluo's second soul ring suddenly lit up.
Then, he displayed an incredibly powerful evasive ability, like a fish in water, flapping his bat wings to constantly dodge.
He managed to evade the turtle spheres aimed at him in the narrowest of margins, and not a single attack from the nearly twenty Xuanwu Clan members landed!
"This is... a soul skill that allows foresight?"
On the ground, Zhou Chen frowned deeply. When Blood Soul Douluo had fought him earlier, he had also shown extremely predictive abilities, which was why he and Shi Feng had been so thoroughly suppressed.
Wait!
Zhou Chen suddenly remembered that every time Blood Soul Douluo predicted his attacks, he seemed to open his mouth without making a sound.
"Damn it, it's ultrasonic detection!"
Zhou Chen had long suspected that Blood Soul Douluo's martial soul was a bat. Bats had poor vision and relied on ultrasonic reflections that humans couldn't hear to navigate.
"Screech!"
Just then, Blood Soul Douluo suddenly let out a sharp, piercing screech from his mouth, and his first soul ring's light erupted.
First Soul Skill—Fearful Screech!
The moment the screech sounded, all Xuanwu Clan fighters within a hundred meters froze, and even a desire to turn and flee arose in the depths of their hearts!
This was the opportunity Blood Soul Douluo had been waiting for!
His fourth soul ring lit up, and suddenly, streaks of bloody light appeared in the sky.
These bloody densely covered an area of several hundred meters, like a giant net, trapping nearly twenty Xuanwu Clan fighters within!
Fourth Soul Skill—Heavenly Blood-Web!
But that wasn't all.
"Sixth Soul Skill—Blood God's Slash!"
Blood Soul Douluo's sixth soul ring suddenly lit up, and all the bloody light transformed into sharp, blood-colored blades that shot toward the Xuanwu Clan fighters' bodies to slice them!
This move was extremely sinister. While the power of Blood God's Slash might not have a huge impact on a Soul Douluo-level Xuanwu Turtle, it was more than enough to heavily wound a Soul Sage-level one.
Caught off guard and with nowhere to flee, the Soul Sage-level Xuanwu Turtles could be sliced to pieces in an instant.
Seeing the Xuanwu Clan suddenly fall into peril, the expressions of Wang Sheng, Xiao Chenyu, Marx, and the Ye Family's elders guarding the perimeter changed drastically. They immediately attacked together.
"Seventh Soul Skill—War Tiger Avatar!"
"Eighth Soul Skill—Ghost Emperor's Vine Slash!"
"Seventh Soul Skill—Steel Avatar!"
...
Over ten Soul Sages and Soul Douluo attacked in unison, tearing open a corner of the Heavenly Blood-Web and rescuing the Xuanwu Clan fighters.
And this was exactly what Blood Soul Douluo had wanted!
Earlier, Xiao Chenyu, Marx, and over a dozen other Soul Sages and Soul Douluo had been blocking him, making escape impossible.
But now, they were all rushing to save the Xuanwu Clan, leaving a huge gap in the encirclement—the perfect opportunity for Blood Soul Douluo to flee!
In the blink of an eye, Blood Soul Douluo transformed into a bloody shadow and shot out of the encirclement!
"Think you can run? Stay here!"
Seeing Blood Soul Douluo trying to escape, one of the Ye Family's elders, a man not yet forty, shouted. A brilliant azure light erupted from the greatsword in his hand as his sixth soul ring shone brightly.
Sixth Soul Skill—Azure God Sword!
"Clang!"
With a resonant sword cry, the man's azure greatsword soared upward, growing with the wind, instantly transforming into a giant sword over ten meters long.
From the greatsword, dazzling azure sword energy erupted, slashing down toward Blood Soul Douluo!
Originally, this Azure Sword Soul Sage named Lin Tian had been prepared to be injured, after all, he was striking a Titled Douluo.
However, as the Azure Greatsword came down, Blood Soul Douluo's body suddenly split.
It was as if Blood Soul Douluo had been instantly torn apart, transforming into nine dark shadows that scattered in nine different directions.
And in mid-air, these nine dark shadows transformed into nine dark-gold bats.
Ninth Soul Skill—Blood Shadow Clone!
"Block all of its clones!"
Zhou Chen shouted. With a thought, the Xuanyuan Sword flew out, striking one of the dark-gold bats with full force.
However, facing the attack of a Super Martial Soul, the bat actually managed to withstand it with its own defensive power.
Such formidable defensive power instantly made Zhou suspect he was facing Blood Soul Douluo's true body!
