Peerless: The Evil Soul Master's Guide to Saving the World

Chapter 285 The Defense of Mingdu (Part Fourteen): The Fall of Mu En
"So easy to scold..."

Chu Qingtian secretly gave a thumbs up.

The faces of Shrek Academy's top executives were already extremely grim.

"Shut up! What are you yelling about!" Yan Shaozhe glared angrily at the group of inner court students.

He glanced at Zhang Lexuan with a complicated expression: "Elder Xuan, let's prepare for a strong attack. If we drag this out any longer, the enemy might catch up."

Although Kong Deming and Long Xiaoyao had gone after Haotian Sect because of Da Ming and Er Ming, to prevent the other side from retaliating, the battle situation was changing rapidly. If Di Tian and Xu Cheng finished dealing with Elder Mu and were free to deal with him, the entire Shrek Academy would be in big trouble.

He wasn't afraid of death, because the Sun Moon Empire would never kill him because of Long Xiaoyao, but he couldn't accept the Shrek Academy being severely damaged.

"Alright, break through!" Xuanzi took a deep breath.

……

"It's so easy to scold you, Senior Sister."

As Ma Xiaotao listened to the voice coming from the communication soul tool, she gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, her expression filled with emotion. At the same time, her perspective widened, and she was holding a Soul Saint by the neck in her hand. The latter looked terrified but was unable to break free.

"Die!"

Ink-black flames ignited from his palm, and in an instant, the Soul Saint was consumed by the evil fire, leaving no trace of his body.

"Ma Xiaotao! You're insane! We're from the Heavenly Soul Empire!"

The other figure clearly recognized Ma Xiaotao, after all, she was the captain of Shrek Academy in the All-Continent Soul Master Competition a year ago, and her fighting style, martial soul and soul skills were easy to identify.

"Am I crazy? Heh, I'm not crazy. You're talking about Ma Xiaotao from Shrek Academy, but I'm... Ma Xiaotao from the Holy Spirit Cult now."

The beauty curled her lips into a smile and began the pursuit with a group of powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult.

……

"Pfft!"

Within the Land of the Dead.

Mu En coughed up a mouthful of blood, his breath weak as he struggled to sit up, looking at Di Tian standing proudly in the sky and Xu Cheng smiling not far away.

"I never imagined that I, an old man, would be defeated by a child. It's truly... quite a lamentable situation."

Moon wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression somber.

"Did Elder Mu have any last words? I will certainly convey them to you," Xu Cheng said with a smile.

"..."

Moon glanced at him but ignored him.

But I also have some worries.

The moment he was pulled into the space, he sensed something was wrong, so he sent a message to Xuanzi and the others to leave him alone. But because it happened so suddenly, he didn’t have time to explain many things, including the things on his body.

A master of the Sea God Pavilion usually carries his most valuable possessions with him at all times.

After all, as a Limit Douluo, even within the Sea God Pavilion, it would be difficult to find someone safer than himself. But who could have imagined that he would encounter such a thing today?

"Ha ha……"

Seeing that Mu En ignored him, Xu Cheng opened a light screen.

Inside was the scene of various forces breaking out from the four directions of Mingdu at that moment, and Shrek Academy's side was naturally the focus of their attention.

This naturally attracted Moon's attention.

Listen to the scene on the light screen where Zhang Lexuan reprimands the elders.

Moon slowly closed his eyes.

His fists clenched unconsciously.

But it was too late to change anything now. In fact, Zhang Lexuan's discovery that something was wrong was within his calculations, because he knew the latter's personality very well. As long as the academy had nurtured her for many years, this kindness could never be erased. Therefore, even if Zhang Lexuan was angry, she would only target herself. As for the academy, she would suppress this resentment in her heart and remain a qualified pavilion master.

But he overlooked one crucial detail – Zhang Lexuan was actually of royal blood from the Sun Moon Empire.

What a trick.

“Shrek Academy’s model has major problems. I can see that you have been trying to salvage it, but to suddenly turn a giant ship that has been sailing for ten thousand years around is something that would be difficult for even a Limit Douluo to achieve, unless one is a god.” Xu Cheng said softly.

The two stood side by side, looking at the screen of light. The scene was rather eerie.

Within the light barrier, artillery fire raged, countless soul skills and soul rings dazzled the eye, and the roar of battle was incessant.

But in the Land of the Dead, the two were quite calm.

“Yes, Shrek Academy is like an ancient tree that has stood for thousands of years. It looks magnificent on the outside, but it is full of rotten wood inside…” Moon sighed and admitted what Xu Cheng said.

"Throughout my life, I've made many mistakes, but also many contributions, both for the continent and for the academy. Without you, perhaps Shrek Academy wouldn't have collapsed. Even if it were rotten inside, it would still have a foundation built up over millennia, allowing it to live for another ten thousand years, but..."

"So, do you think it's better for the world to have me, or better to not have me?" Xu Cheng smiled, as if two close friends were having a casual chat.

“From Shrek Academy’s perspective, it’s better without you. From the continent’s perspective…” Moon smiled as well, “It’s a pity. If only you were a member of Shrek Academy.”

"But there's no such thing as regret in this world, is there?"

"Speak, what are your conditions for letting them leave?" Moon suddenly spoke up.

"As expected of Elder Mu..." Xu Cheng laughed.

“I’m not blind, so I can see that even though Xuanzi and the others tried their best, they couldn’t shake the defenses of the Sun Moon Empire’s border. And you’re taking out this light screen at this time, so you must have other purposes,” Mu En said calmly.

"Of course, if it goes too far, I can't accept it either."

"Of course not. Just hand over your ring, and they will leave safely," Xu Cheng said, clicking his tongue.

"A storage soul tool?"

Moon was taken aback.

A hint of hesitation flashed across his face, but he still nodded slightly: "Okay!"

As he spoke, he slowly took off the diamond ring he was wearing, took a deep breath, and handed it to Xu Cheng.

"Old Mu is straightforward."

The latter smiled.

In the blink of an eye, the battle within the light screen seemed to have changed.

Xuanzi's face lit up with joy as he seized upon a weakness. "Quick, come with me!"

Immediately, the Shrek Academy members followed Xuanzi and rushed out of the city.

“Of course, this is only a deal concerning the rest of Shrek Academy; you still have to stay here,” Xu Cheng said with a smile.

"Hehe, of course, even if I wanted to leave, could I really leave?" Mu En said with a bitter smile.

"In that case, Dragon God, farewell."

Xu Cheng pursed his lips.

"..."

"Buzz!"

A divine aura emanated from Moon's body and spread outwards to the surrounding world.

But it seemed somewhat lost, because this didn't seem to be the Douluo Continent, and it didn't know where to go.

"This is the underworld. In the future, your soul will return to the mainland through reincarnation," Xu Cheng said calmly.

"Buzz!"

The latter then continued to drift away.

At the same time, Moon's figure became increasingly dark and transparent.

It transformed into a beam of light and vanished from this world.

Xu Cheng smacked his lips, his expression filled with emotion.

Even if Mu En hadn't done this, Di Tian would have helped him anyway, but it was still quite touching to see him die so gracefully.

However, he glanced at the diamond ring in his hand, and at the energy that seemed to have increased in the underworld, and a smile appeared on his face.

made money!
