Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 171 Green Skull

"Aren't you going to face it head-on?" Tang Wulin asked, puzzled.

"The front?" Gu Yue's tone was strange. "I'll go to the back later."

"What's behind?" Tang Wulin was bewildered.

Intelligence about the terrorist attack was exposed, and Green Skull quickly retreated under the siege of the Tang Clan.

The command came through the headset: "Green Skull members, abandon direct combat and begin retreating. Stop them!"

"Leave all these damn bastards here!"

Those Green Skull members who were previously charging forward fearlessly seemed to have received some kind of signal, instantly changing direction and fleeing frantically.

The people from the Fighting Soul Hall immediately gave chase.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh," a dark figure darted from inside the theater to the highest point.

It stands between the two sides.

"What a pity, I was originally planning to go for something big. You guys got a good deal."

"Try the Level 7 Fixed-Mount Soul-Guided Cannonball!" The man laughed maniacally, "Bury everyone!"

This person had seven spirit rings rising from his body and wore a two-word battle armor.

He was the leader of this terrorist attack.

Since he dared to appear openly and spout such arrogant words, it means that the soul-guided cannonballs have already been deployed.

A terrifying surge of soul power instantly swept through the entire underground space, causing even the air to tremble slightly. The fighters of the Soul Fighting Hall changed their expressions drastically, halting their pursuit with expressions of terror.

A burst of noise came through the headset, and Hei Yi's voice was urgent: "It's a Level 7 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell! Everyone! Protect the civilians!"

A shell was fired at the theater.

If such a level 7 fixed-position soul-guided shell were to explode, it would destroy everything, not to mention the theater.

The area within a radius of several kilometers will be reduced to ruins.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines as they watched the shells hurtling straight towards them.

Intercepting it? Useless, the blast radius is too large.

Protect the people? It's too late.

They didn't even know if they would survive.

At this critical moment, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of the shell.

The light and shadow moved so fast it was like teleportation, barely stopping the cannonballs between the theater and the theater.

"Sunset Glow, shine upon it!"

Su Qiu could stay still, but she still needed to find something for Xia Xi to do, so the child wouldn't be idle.

The rosy dawn overhead opened its vertical pupils, and beams of seven colors, like precise surgical scalpels, directly enveloped the level-seven fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that was emitting terrifying fluctuations.

It blocked the complex internal detonation device.

The Green Skull leader's smile remained unchanged: "Ridiculous."

Soul Masters possess a wide variety of Soul Skills, encompassing all types. Naturally, the creation of Soul Guidance Cannons takes these factors into account.

The smile on his lips grew increasingly manic: "Hahaha, they all have to die!"

Finally, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, mouthing, "Bang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit rings around him suddenly lit up, and the two-word battle armor shone brightly as he led the organization members to a swift retreat.

The rainbow beams of dawn were still firmly locked onto the cannonball, but as the leader snapped his fingers, the patterns on the cannonball's outer shell suddenly lit up with an eerie red light, and it exploded!
A terrifying shockwave swept out instantly, and the scorching air currents, like a roaring beast, tore everything apart.

Su Qiu frowned slightly and snorted coldly.

The two-word battle armor instantly covered his entire body.

The golden light shone even brighter. In an instant, he was close to the explosion, holding the holy lance.

The golden light at the tip of the spear surged, and instead of defending itself, it recklessly pierced into the rolling flames.

The Holy Lance and the seven-colored beams of the rosy dawn echoed each other, and a strange binding force spread wildly outwards from the tip of the spear.

The explosive shockwave, powerful enough to tear everything apart, was abruptly halted by this force. The flames solidified into a crimson barrier, and the shockwave transformed into visible ripples, frozen in mid-air.

Even a level seven soul-guided cannonball could not be completely contained by Su Qiu, which kept it within arm's reach and did not affect the outside world in the slightest.

The explosion eventually ended.

The entire shell only blasted through the air within a radius of less than one meter. Not even a single spark was ejected.

Both the Fighting Soul Hall and the Green Skull were dumbfounded.

The fighters of the Fighting Soul Hall were dumbfounded, forgetting to grip their weapons tightly.

The green skull-like figure was terrified and cried, running even more frantically.

However, Su Qiu did not chase after him.

All anyone saw was the light and shadow in the sky disappear.

"That must be Brother Su Qiu, right?" Tang Wulin knew who it was immediately; it was too obvious. "You agree, right, Gu Yue? Huh, Gu Yue?"

He turned his head and looked around, but Gu Yue, who had been standing beside him just moments before, was nowhere to be seen.

The Green Skull members fled back to their old lair in Star City, an abandoned soul tool workshop.

The workshop was dark and damp, filled with rusty parts.

The leader barged in, removed the skull mask from his face, revealing a hideous and twisted face.

Looking at the defeated soldiers following behind him, he couldn't help but roar, "A bunch of useless trash! You couldn't even blow up a theater!"

The subordinates remained silent, none daring to utter a sound.

They were still in shock; Su Qiu's ability to suppress a level-seven fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell was beyond their comprehension.

"Leader, what do we do next?" a thin, green-skull member asked in a trembling voice. "The Tang Clan has definitely their eyes on us, and that person..."

The leader's eyes were sinister. He slammed his hand on the table, causing the soul-guided components on it to rattle loudly. "Operation failed. Withdraw from Star Luo City."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the iron gate of the workshop was suddenly kicked open.

A piercing metallic scraping sound rang out, and a figure clad in silver-white battle armor stood at the doorway.

What kind of figure was that?
His entire body was covered in silver-white battle armor, with faint purple-gold patterns flowing across the armor plates.

Moonlight slanted in through the broken skylight, reflecting a cold luster onto the armor.

The battle armor outlined his tall and slender figure, with the shoulder armor slightly raised, exuding an innate nobility. Even when he was just standing there quietly, he was like a sharp sword that had been drawn from its sheath, revealing its sharpness.

Even with his face hidden by the battle armor, one could sense that beneath the helmet lay a cool and exquisitely beautiful face.

It was Gu Yue who rushed over.

One-word battle armor, Moon!
Her gaze swept over the panicked Green Skull members in the workshop, but her eyes remained completely unmoved.

With a light touch of his toes on the ground, his figure darted into the workshop like a ghost.

"Retreat?" Gu Yue's voice came through the mask of the battle armor. "Let it stay and become my credit."

By the time the Fighting Soul Hall received the news and arrived, the battle was already over.

The workshop's iron gate hung crookedly on the frame, and Green Skull members lay scattered on the ground, all tightly bound and too weak to even struggle.

Gu Yue stood in the center of the workshop, the purple-gold patterns on her silver-white battle armor had faded, she was standing on the enemy, her hand tightly gripping the neck of the Soul Saint leader.

His eyes, hidden beneath his battle armor, glanced at the arriving crowd, his gaze lingering briefly on Hei Yi, without a trace of emotion: "Battle over, Huang Qi has completed his mission."
