Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 191 Scored twice
"retreat."

A faint gray light flashed in Old Yi's eyes, and the almost boundless group of undead suddenly paused, scattering in confusion and emptiness, revealing the listless golden tortoiseshell.

The undead naturally seek out the living, and hawksbill turtles, with their vigorous vitality, are even more attractive, standing out like a lighthouse in the night.

Without Elder Yi, he would have eventually had his soul power exhausted by these tireless, fearless monsters, which would break his protective shield and tear him apart completely.

"Looking at it this way... this guy is really suitable to be a spirit ring."

Tianmeng's eyes gleamed with a strange light: "Look, isn't Yuhao exactly in need of such a defensive skill right now? Moreover, his luck power can also be transferred to Yuhao through his soul ring."

"But the attributes don't seem quite right, do they?"

Hyotei counted on her fingers and said, "No matter which martial soul you add this water attribute soul ring to, it will always have some impurities mixed in. It probably won't be completely cleaned up in three to five years."

"Let's keep it as a backup plan."

Xue Di pondered for a moment: "Actually, I have a more suitable option here... If things don't work out, it's not too late to choose him then. After all, it will take him at least three to five months to recover his cultivation to more than 100,000 years, so it's better not to just wait around."

As the monarch of the far north, her territory naturally extends beyond the icy plains; even the icy seas near human settlements are nominally part of her domain.

It just so happens that she hasn't seen those old friends for a while.

"Elder Yi...what do you think?"

After arranging the location of the hawksbill turtle, Huo Yuhao looked at Elder Yi with hesitation in his eyes.

No matter what, this undead demiplane is Elder Yi's private domain, and it's not appropriate to entrust such a golden turtle to it.

"Don't worry. I've already placed a contract on him, so I can summon him to my side whenever I want."

Old Yi smiled as he opened the Gate of the Dead: "Now that I have this space, I don't have to squeeze into a spot with those spirits all the time..."

"However, I will leave a mark on your spiritual sea. If you miss this old codger, you can come in and visit anytime, and you can ask for help directly if you have any trouble."

Before this, he was worried that his remaining divine consciousness wouldn't provide enough protection. But now it's different; even if Huo Yuhao were hit head-on by a level nine fixed armor, it wouldn't kill him.

It's just a matter of opening a spatial portal.

"Hey...hey! Wait a minute!"

Just as the chains in the door were wrapping around the tortoiseshell's body, this lucky fellow once again hit the bullseye: "Sir, I want to stay here! I... can I go with you?"

After witnessing that extraordinary power, he couldn't help but have some thoughts about it.

If he is allowed to grow wildly, not to mention whether he can survive the two hundred thousand great calamities to come, he will be terrified just to face the endless stream of human experts.

If he could gain protection from Elder Yi, or even have the opportunity to advance his cultivation, he wouldn't mind being a gatekeeper turtle for a few hundred more years.

"Very well... the power of destiny within you is indeed worth studying."

Elder Yi nodded slightly and reached out to illuminate the contract mark on the tortoise shell: "However, this demiplane will take about half a year to generate the energy of heaven and earth. If you continue to stay here, your cultivation will probably not be able to recover for the time being."

"hey-hey…"

The golden tortoiseshell forced a smile and shuffled along the ground to get closer to Elder Yi: "No rush! I'm not in a rush!"

……

"grumble--!"

Several crimson figures flashed through the forest, which had been burned to a scorched earth. The monkey-like soul beasts, covered in red fur, quickly changed positions and actually started to cooperate in pairs, trying to trap the two people and their three souls in the fire circle.

"Judging from this, did these monkeys deliberately set up an ambush?"

Ye Guyi, leaning on his longsword, surveyed his surroundings. After confirming that the oldest among them was no more than twenty thousand years old, he chose to stand still and watch the show: "Go, Blazing Angel! The time has come to show your true strength!" "Tsk..."

With a dark expression, Yu Mengdi drew her twin swords and, amidst the three vengeful spirits' gazes that seemed to want to laugh but dared not, swung her blades of light: "Don't call that thing!"

As an angel soul master, her biggest pain is that her own attribute power is not strong. Even if she relies on the stats of the angel martial soul itself to increase her combat power, the light and fire, which are her main means of output, are like background scenery.

Especially after her godhood evolved ahead of time, this hidden pain of hers was brought into the open.

Even with all the attribute damage stacked up, it's still not as powerful as a single sword strike from charging in.

Hopefully, this Infernal Monkey will provide some decent buff skills...

Yu Mengdi stared intently at the leader, wielding her twin swords to repel several thousand-year-old Crimson Fire Monkeys, and unleashing a several-foot-long blade of light with an imposing aura.

"The speed is a bit slow."

Xixi scrutinized her movements and commented bluntly, "Not only that, but every time she swings her sword, her wings pause, making the attack flow less smooth."

For agility-based characters with fragile bodies, any mistake is equivalent to elimination. Therefore, she has the lowest tolerance for mistakes among the group.

Despite its many shortcomings, Shrek Academy is unparalleled in combat across the entire Douluo Continent.

—After all, not every faction dares to send its new generation to exterminate evil spirit masters.

"Don't be so strict..."

Gongyang Mo released a weakened aura that enveloped the monkey troop: "After experiencing a few more life-or-death battles, she will grow stronger... Hmm?"

A strange fluctuation came from afar, interrupting his words and causing his two companions beside him to experience a violent tremor in their souls.

It was as if something extremely terrifying was rapidly approaching.

"Is it a mental warning?"

Yao Haoxuan's expression changed slightly.

Although the three of them retained their original ranks after being resurrected, their inherent spiritual power surged to a level close to that of a Soul Saint due to the change in their race.

With this level of spiritual power, any warning is basically a death sentence.

"Line up!"

Yao Haoxuan suddenly raised his cane to block Gongyang Mo's path. Xixi, who was beside him, first instinctively leaned close to Ye Guyi's back, then her expression darkened as Ye Guyi turned around in surprise: "Enemy attack! You'll be the vanguard!"

Although she was reluctant to admit it... she did miss those old days.

"Yu Meng—?"

Alerted, Ye Guyi spread her pure white wings and was about to call her teammates back when she was horrified to find that the surrounding fire circle had inexplicably darkened. The monkeys that had been jumping and circling suddenly fell silent, trembling and curling up on the ground.

'What's going on!'

Ye Guyi's pupils dilated slightly, followed by a muffled thud as she fell to the ground.

Just moments ago, Yu Mengdi was displaying divine power, but in an instant, the attribute enhancements disappeared, and he knelt on the ground, his face pale.

"There's...there's something..."

She struggled to lift her head, supporting herself against the now-dimmed holy sword, and uttered her final words amidst the utter terror of the three souls within her: "Run!"
