Douluo: I am ready to leave the Spirit Hall. The system will come.

Chapter 207: Encirclement and Stealing the Eight Spider Lance
The Soul Saint assassin has the ultimate move of Soul Avatar, and his explosive power far exceeds that of Soul King and Soul Emperor level assassins.

Therefore, even if you stay in the imperial city, the other party may take risks and attack you.

And since Amona had a Youchen clone hidden by her side, she was naturally able to detain the person who made the attack.

The identity of a Soul Saint cannot be denied in any way and can definitely be linked to a certain candidate.

It means at least one competitor can be eliminated.

But on the other hand, if the other party restrains himself from taking action, the longer Amona stays, the more time she will waste.

It's just like fishing. If the fish doesn't bite the hook, you won't get anything.

If you really can't wait any longer and leave the imperial city, it would be the same as leaving now.

The Soul Emperor no longer has to worry about concealing his identity and can attack with all his strength. The threat is greatly increased, and You Chen may be forced to attack in advance.

This meant that it was possible that a Soul Saint-level fish would not be caught. Of course, even without fishing, You Chen, who already had a divine eye, could catch it with a direct move.

But it is likely to reveal something more.

Exposing the true strength of Youchen's clone just for the sake of Soul Saint is undoubtedly a bad move.

Even if the assassin could be captured, the fact that he acted outside the imperial city meant that there was a lack of evidence and it would be difficult to convict him. At most, they would only be able to get rid of a Soul Saint.

Such a loss would probably cause pain to the candidate, or even serious injuries, but compared to exposing the fact that Amona also possessed Soul Saint-level power, it was nothing to mention.

In short, if your goal is to weaken your competitors, staying in the city to fish will give you a higher ceiling for your profits.

But leaving the city is more of a freedom.

Not only can the assassin attack more without scruples, but You Chen also has more room to operate on Amona's side.

In a flash, Amona had finished communicating with You Chen, and led Zhu Zhuqing and the guards, no longer chasing the assassin, but chose to leave the city and left.

Seeing that Amona chose to leave the city, those who were involved in the assassinations, including Dai Mubai, all smiled.

"Fool! It seems that the environment he is in limits his imagination? He can't have thought that I can send a Soul Saint to hunt him down, right?"

Dai Mubai was secretly delighted, and then, in the tone of a junior requesting an elder, he tactfully gave orders to Ettore and the captain of the personal guard assigned to him by the emperor, the two Soul Saints, to leave the city and hunt down Amona.

In addition, assassins from other forces also followed in tacit understanding.

Killing Amona is naturally the first goal, but it would be even better if we could obtain evidence of assassination against other candidates.

Before Amona completed the procedures to leave the city, many assassins had already mixed in with the general public and got there first.

It was obvious that they were planning to double-team Amona's team.

However, for Amona, who had activated the full-map cheat, this was a meaningless division of troops.

By repeatedly taking illogical and unconventional routes, Amona's team successfully avoided more than half of the ambushes.

Although this result made the assassins a little annoyed, they did not react too violently.

After all, they had already prepared themselves mentally for the possibility that some of their ambushes would not be effective, and in their view, even if so many troops were wasted, Amona would still not escape death.

It is difficult to calculate how many forces are planning to take action against Amona on this day.

Soul King-level assassins are rare, but Great Soul Master and Soul Lord-level assassins are not that difficult to train for candidates of their class.

Before the appearance of hidden weapons, Douluo Continent was very lacking in external means.

These great soul masters and soul lords are unable to fully exert the killing power beyond their realm.

But even so, it is still relatively easy to just slightly slow down the pace of Amona's team and consume the soul power of the soul masters in the team.

When a soul master loses his soul power, his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

For a Titled Douluo whose life level has not been elevated, after his soul power is exhausted, if his physical training is insufficient, his combat effectiveness will be more than just a drop of one major realm.

Even a Soul Sage could be killed by a Soul King.

This is also the reason why Dai Mubai and others thought it was very stupid for Amona to flee the imperial city in a hurry because she was assassinated in the imperial city.

Hundreds of soul masters were killed along the way. In order to speed up their escape and avoid being caught up by other ambushes, they had no time to clean up all traces of the battle.

Finally, the main force of the assassination caught up, following the traces left by Amona's team.

When assassins at the Soul King and Soul Emperor levels began to show up, the soul masters in Amona's team had already been exhausted, and casualties were inevitable.

Those guards who were not members of the Beast Soul Alliance nor soul masters of the Casas family, but were sent by other nobles, naturally abandoned their masters and began to flee after the death toll exceeded ten digits.

Such a situation did not frighten the battle-hardened members of the Beast Soul Alliance.

However, as time passed, casualties eventually occurred.

Seeing the tragic death of her loyal subordinates, Amona exploded in anger and directly displayed her strength far beyond that of an ordinary Soul Emperor. She killed several Soul Emperors and then escaped for a distance again.

The assassins did not continue to pursue.

The reason is simple. Unlike those low-level death warriors, these Soul King and Soul Emperor level assassins are not death warriors, but well-known people.

After their death, others must deal with traces of their bodies to avoid exposing their identities.

The several Soul Emperors killed by the explosive Amona were all members of the Royal Guard, so all traces of them had to be wiped out.

besides……

That’s because, up to now, the only ones still chasing Amona are the royal guards sent by Dai Mubai.

The royal guards believed that they would no longer be needed to take action.

Next, it was the turn of their captain and the elder of the Ettore tribe.

"I didn't expect that a mere Soul King could cause us such losses. It was my mistake. I shouldn't have considered the people from other forces. I should have cleared the area directly and then killed Monardo. This way, there wouldn't be so many problems."

The captain of the guard had a gloomy look on his face.

Those royal guards killed by Amona were all his people, not just his subordinates, but also brothers!
How could he not be angry when several of his brothers died in something that should have been a sure thing?!

Ettore glanced at him and said calmly, "Killing other candidates rashly will make Dai Mubai an enemy. You will never do such a thing. So, don't regret it in vain. Kill Monardo to avenge your soldiers and comfort their souls in heaven."

"Yes." The captain of the guard nodded silently. Although Ettore's words were harsh and unpleasant to the ear, they were indeed the truth.

With two Soul Saints working together, it should be a sure win.

However, something shocking happened.

In the eyes of the two, Monardo was like the protagonist in a story. In a critical moment, he sacrificed himself to protect Zhu Zhuqing, which deeply moved the daughter of the Duke. Then, his martial spirits resonated and merged to summon the Netherworld White Tiger, which forcibly repelled them and fled...

At least in their eyes, that is the truth.

Looking at the crumbling hills and the plowed land before them, the two Soul Saints fell silent.

The captain of the guards had a look of remorse on his face, venting his strength towards the earth: "Damn it!"

Ettore, who had always maintained a calm expression, also had a gloomy expression, but he still comforted him, "Although they escaped successfully, Monardo used a special secret method to save Zhu's daughter and his subordinates. Not only did he overdraw his potential, but he was also seriously injured. He will definitely not recover in a year or two. Although this is not the best result, it can be done at least. As for revenge, it can only be left to Mu Bai."

The captain of the guards' eyes flashed with a gleam. He looked up and squinted slightly: "Are you helping him recruit me?"

Ettore smiled: "No, I just hope you don't hate Mu Bai because of the death of your subordinate. After all... now that Monardo's potential has been weakened, with his talent and background, he is the one who is most likely to become the emperor."

The captain of the guards snorted coldly: "My strength and status were given by the royal family. I won't be so ungrateful. Don't worry!"

While Ettore was talking to the captain of the guards, several kilometers away, Amona, who should have been seriously injured, was not only unharmed, but those subordinates of the Beast Soul Alliance who were affected by the attacks of the two Soul Saints and were either seriously injured or killed were also safe.

Amona and Zhu Zhuqing improved the compatibility of their martial spirits in desperate situations and completed the Nether White Tiger. In the end, although they were seriously injured, they escaped successfully... These were naturally not real, but illusions created by You Chen using the stardust illusion.

The two women's martial soul fusion skills have indeed made some progress, but it will take time before they can truly display them.

The reason for presenting such an illusion is that at this stage, it is more in Amona's interest to hide temporarily, let others think that Amona has lost its threat, and then the dog-eat-dog fight will happen, rather than dealing with the competitors.

After all, if the Xingluo nobles believed that all seven candidates were assassinated by Amona's camp, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble.

And if the seven people fight among themselves and lose a few members first, then when the time comes, Amona's camp will eliminate the remaining candidates and it won't be so eye-catching.

This was the response plan that You Chen established for Amona when they were in the imperial city.

Of course, this situation couldn't be kept secret for long.

Because if Amona wants to gain the support of the nobles who actively invested in the Sequence War, she must show the fact that she is in good condition.

Even if Amona chose to meet with the nobles in private to communicate and then actively asked these nobles to help keep the news secret, this news could not be concealed for too long.

The fact that the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce would form a community of interests with these nobles in the future would make it impossible to completely keep the news secret.

But in Douluo Continent, a world where information is not easily spread, just keeping it secret for half a year or a year is enough.

"It's time to expand the influence of the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce in the Xingluo Empire."

When Amona's team got rid of the two Soul Saints, Shrek entered the Star Dou Great Forest to help Oscar and Tang San hunt for the third soul ring.

When Oscar obtained his third soul ring, everything was going smoothly.

As if following the inertia of history, the Shrek team once again encountered the Dragon Man, Snake Lady and Meng Yiran, and finally gave up the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake.

Then, the Titan giant ape Er Ming, who smelled the rabbit scent of Xiao Wu, kidnapped Xiao Wu in front of everyone with a deafening noise.

Tang San left in anger, killed the Man-Faced Demon Spider, and absorbed it as a spirit ring...

You Chen's clone, who always followed the Shrek team, was watching this scene silently.

You Chen's eyes were deep as he looked at Tang San, who was going back to his old ways, absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit with a look of pain on his face, but his expression never changed.

Until... a special spirit bone aura began to emerge from behind Tang San.

He made a sudden move, peeled off Tang San's Eight Spider Lance and controlled it in his hand.

External soul bones are different from ordinary soul bones. It takes a period of time to completely merge with the soul master. During this period, the soul bones can be separated.

Tang San was already in great pain because of the limit-breaking absorption, and You Chen's technique was extremely fast. To be on the safe side, he injected a fast-acting, short-lasting anesthetic into Tang San's back, making Tang San completely unaware of the process.

You Chen looked at the dark purple external soul bone in his hand, but he had no intention of absorbing it at all.

The Eight Spider Lance is an external soul bone with poisonous properties. The most suitable people in You Chen's team to absorb it are Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and... Ye Lingling.

There's nothing much to say about the first two.

The reason for the latter is very simple. Ye Lingling’s Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul is special and only has healing soul skills.

Even if You Chen entered many martial arts into the Beast Soul Alliance's resource list, given the nature of Ye Lingling's soul power, the power of the martial arts was extremely poor.

Not to mention that Ye Lingling's talent in martial arts was very average, and she had no combat skills before, so she mainly learned body movements to enhance her survivability and flexibility.

He is always a healing soul master without any combat power.

The Eight Spider Lance can eventually become Tang San's graduation equipment, so its power and potential are self-evident.

Relying on this one soul bone alone, Ye Lingling can possess a certain combat effectiveness. When facing a sudden enemy, she can resist for a short period of time and wait for her teammates to free up their hands to come to the rescue.

Considering Ye Lingling's strategic position as the top nurse in Douluo Continent, it is definitely worth it for her to have such a powerful soul bone.

In comparison, even if Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan obtained the Eight Spider Lance, they would not get much improvement given their habit of long-range poisoning combat style.

One Eight Spider Lance was not worth their complete overthrow of their past combat system.

As for the problem of incompatibility of attributes, Tang Fozu has verified it personally.

What's more, the influence of spirit bones on martial spirits is far smaller than that of spirit rings.

The life attribute and the poison attribute are not so much in conflict as in a suppressive relationship.

It is impossible for them to fit together, but it will not be weakened because of a soul bone.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan might be poisoned by the toxicity of their soul rings, but this would not happen to Ye Lingling.

You Chen thought so and felt that the Eight Spider Lance was really suitable for Ye Lingling, but he was not in a hurry to make a conclusion on how to distribute it.

After all, there is still work to be done.

You Chen thought about it and looked at Tang San who slowly opened his eyes.
