Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, but possesses the power of the Rakshasa God.

The aftershocks of the explosion had just subsided.

The Shrek reserve team members recalled the explosion with lingering fear, their eyes filled with dread.

"This is terrifying! Such powerful soul skills... Is this what an evil soul master is like?!"

Xu Sanshi touched his tortoise shell and sighed.

Wang Dong stood up, not even having time to brush the dust off his clothes, and hurriedly looked at Wang Yan: "Teacher Wang Yan! There was an explosion of this magnitude on the outer perimeter. The senior students inside, and Yuhao... let's go check it out!"

Immediately, Xiao Xiao also looked around and then gazed into the depths of the cave, her eyes filled with concern.

Wang Yan shook his head, a hint of tension in his eyes, but he quickly relaxed: "Look, Yuhao's mental detection is still working. The explosion inside them was much smaller than ours."

"They have more methods and are stronger. If we go in, we'll probably just be a hindrance. Let's not get involved."

"However, given this unexpected turn of events, we should go find Elder Xuan first."

With that, Wang Yan went to find Xuanzi.

He himself was only at the fifth ring, and his strength was not even as good as the Shrek Seven Devils. Going in would just be suicide.

Therefore, the correct approach is to find a powerful ally.

Wang Dong and the others also realized what was happening and noticed Huo Yuhao's mental sharing, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

During the mental detection, Ling Luochen and the other members of the Shrek Seven Devils showed expressions of relief, as if they had survived a calamity.

They lowered their guard, and their eyes showed more gratitude than Huo Yuhao's.

"Let's go! Let's see what's going on with Ma Xiaotao and the other two!" Huo Yuhao cursed the two in his heart, but still rallied his team members to go and search for them.

The group nodded and slowly walked forward.

The explosion was terrifying; the entire cave was filled with the aura of blood and evil, affecting mental detection.

This significantly reduced the range of his mental detection, making it impossible for Huo Yuhao to see Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng's current situation.

"Next, I can practice using mental power combined with Rakshasa divine power to perform mental detection. That way, I might no longer be affected by bloodlust and evil aura."

Huo Yuhao thought to himself as he slowly explored forward.

Corpse Explosion is a one-time skill. Once the corpse is used, it is completely shattered and cannot explode again.

The rest of the evil spirit masters perished in the explosion, so the group moved very quickly!

Soon after, they saw Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng.

The first person I saw was Dai Yaoheng.

He looked incredibly miserable, lying on the ground with his clothes completely torn, his skin charred black, and in several places, the corpse poison produced by the corpse explosion technique had rotted so badly that the bones were visible!

Even though the corpse poison hadn't been eliminated, it was still continuously corroding his body!

Gongyang Mo rushed forward, and after several beams of divine light swept over him, Dai Yueheng's injuries stabilized.

"This kind of injury... will probably require a long recovery, and it's even uncertain whether he'll wake up at all." Gongyang Mo's expression was extremely grim. "It seems unlikely that he'll be able to participate in the Soul Master Competition."

The remaining people also had solemn expressions.

As one of the two strongest members of the team, Dai Yueheng suffered such serious injuries in the explosion. If the others with weaker physical abilities had been hit by the corpse explosion technique, they would probably have died on the spot!

For a moment, the group looked at Huo Yuhao, their eyes filled with even greater gratitude!

"Let's keep going. I haven't seen Ma Xiaotao yet; she's probably further ahead."

Huo Yuhao said in a low voice.

Gongyang Mo stood up and looked at another offensive-type Soul Master in the group: "Zifeng, you take Dai Yueheng out, be careful. The rest of us will go in and find Ma Xiaotao."

Chen Zifeng nodded, stepped forward, and took out something resembling a stretcher from his storage soul tool, which could be used by a single person.

He placed Dai Yueheng on it, then slowly walked out of the cave.

It seems the Shrek Surveillance Corps also has specialized rescue tools.

As for the remaining few, they continued forward.

But after taking only a couple of steps, they felt a wave of heat hit them!

The violent and scorching aura instantly caught their attention.

"We've found Ma Xiaotao!" Ling Luochen said.

Huo Yuhao nodded, but immediately frowned again.

A mental detection system instantly enveloped the area ahead!

"What's going on?!" Everyone's eyes widened when they saw the scene in the mental detection.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was also covered in wounds, but the dark red phoenix fire enveloped her, making her look like a dark red coat, which covered all her injuries!

Even as the flames burned, his injuries continued to heal!

What shocked them was not the recovery ability, but the aura emanating from Ma Xiaotao!

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was releasing an extremely terrifying aura. Endless blood energy and evil energy swirled behind her, seemingly forming a pair of wings that, together with the dark red evil fire wings, formed the shape of a four-winged phoenix!

Before him, the Soul Master known as the Death Messenger was engulfed in dark red phoenix flames, writhing madly on the ground.

He stood up shakily, wanting to beg for mercy, but the burning pain of the evil fire made him kneel down on the ground again!

Ma Xiaotao watched quietly, neither killing him nor letting him go.

The flames burned relentlessly, tormenting the messenger of death.

"This is... an outbreak of evil fire?" Ling Luochen looked at the familiar scene, a hint of worry appearing on his face.

The remaining three members of the Shrek Seven Devils couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling a sense of unease as they looked at Ma Xiaotao's current state.

Huo Yuhao's expression was unusually grave; possessing the power of the Rakshasa God, he was extremely sensitive to evil forces.

After hearing Ling Luochen's words, he shook his head, his eyes filled with seriousness and vigilance.

"No! It's worse! She's now completely corrupted by evil energy!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ma Xiaotao seemed to sense something as well.

The flames ignited instantly, and the messenger of death turned to ashes.

The next moment, it charged towards the group!

"defense!"

Huo Yuhao gave a low shout!

For a moment, he didn't care about being exposed, and layers of ice crystals appeared on his arms!

Instantly, dark red flames surged toward them like waves!

However, the individuals involved were quite strong, so the impact was minimal.

Ling Luochen suddenly raised his hand, and the Ice Ring of Resistance was suddenly unleashed, instantly dispelling Ma Xiaotao's flames!

But the moment the flames dissipated, Ma Xiaotao vanished from the spot.

She seemed somewhat wary of Huo Yuhao, and directly bypassed him, flying out of the cave!

"Chase!"

Huo Yuhao and the others immediately gave chase. Outside were the reserve team members. If Ma Xiaotao, who had gone mad at the moment, were to rush out, the reserve team would probably be finished!

After Huo Yuhao and his companions chased after them, inside the cave, the Sixth Elder, dressed in a black robe, looked in the direction Huo Yuhao and his group had left.

A hint of fervor and excitement appeared in his eyes!

At this moment, he couldn't care less about the Grim Reaper and immediately shouted to Bone Elder beside him.

"Quickly! Notify the Third Elder! The Holy Maiden has appeared! We must bring her back to the Holy Spirit Cult!"
