Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 258 Angel vs. Demon Spider

Ye Guyi's clear voice was mixed with a faint murmur that seemed to come from an ancient god, or like an ethereal chant.

The white-gold sword light on the Angelic Sword surged, and the dazzling blade shone brightly in the dim underground hall.

Immediately afterwards, a huge sword beam, ten meters long and more than three meters wide, descended from the sky, heading straight for the demonic spider form that the middle-aged man had transformed into.

The Holy Angel Martial Soul's second soul skill, Holy Spirit Slash, has the effect of locking onto the enemy. It cannot be dodged; the enemy can only take the hit.

The branch elder felt as if his soul was locked in place. He dared not be careless in the slightest. His fifth soul ring shone with a dark light, and the black carapace of the demon spider's true form glowed with an eerie light, creating a black shield in front of him.

With a loud "boom," the entire underground hall trembled.

The shockwaves from the clash of soul forces stirred up the surrounding dust, with Ye Guyi and the branch elders in the center of the battle.

The light of the holy sword clashed with the black shield.

The white light and the black light were clearly distinct, locked in a stalemate.

With the support of her Martial Soul True Body, Ye Guyi's Holy Spirit Slash failed to break through the black shield.

The branch elder personally experienced the terror of the Holy Angel Martial Soul. There was a difference of nearly twenty levels of soul power between the two, but his fifth soul skill, which was enhanced by the Demon Spider True Form, almost failed to block Ye Guyi's Holy Spirit Slash. If his martial soul had evil attributes, he might have been killed directly.

Even after using his Martial Soul True Form, he still couldn't gain a clear advantage.

Ye Guyi is already so troublesome at the Soul Emperor level. If she were to break through to the Title Douluo level, who knows how much trouble she would cause for the Holy Sect, and it might even affect the Holy Sect's grand plan.

Thinking of this, the branch elder's eyes almost overflowed with killing intent. He said coldly, "You actually dared to expose your Holy Angel Martial Soul before you've fully developed your power. I don't know whether to say you're ignorant or brainless, and you even came directly to attack the Holy Church branch. Since you're here, stay and let's kill a Holy Angel Martial Soul holder in advance. That would be a great achievement!"

"Enough with the nonsense." Ye Guyi snorted coldly, her delicate body fluttering with two pairs of angel wings behind her, while the Angelic Holy Sword was held horizontally in front of her as she took the initiative to attack the branch elder.

The battle between the ferocious spider and the holy angel presents a stark contrast in art style, creating a striking visual effect.

Ji Lin leaned against the wall of the passage, arms crossed, watching the battle between the two. It was he who had used his spiritual power to shield Ye Guyi's aura, which allowed Ye Guyi to launch a successful surprise attack and directly kill four Evil Soul Emperors. Ji Lin noticed that this branch of the Holy Spirit Cult did not have the aura of a Title Douluo, so he guessed that someone had gone out on business. But even if that Title Douluo Evil Soul Master returned, it didn't matter, as Chi Yuan was keeping an eye on things outside.

Meng Hongchen, Ling Luochen, and Nan Qiuqiu dealt with the low-level outer disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult, also known as the Holy Servants, while Ji Lin and Ye Guyi went straight to the heart of the matter, attacking the core area of ​​the Holy Spirit Cult branch.

Meng Hongchen and the other two don't need to worry. Those Soul King-level evil soul masters can't threaten them. The Death God Messenger is an exception. He is the strongest evil soul king in history, and his reputation is extremely high.

Ji Lin was there to support Ye Guyi. This battle was also very important for Ye Guyi. It was a fierce battle with all their might, and they were sure to gain a lot in the end. Ji Lin would not interfere until Ye Guyi showed signs of weakness. Anyway, with their flying dragons charging ahead and a quasi-god supporting them, victory was guaranteed.

While Ye Guyi and the branch elders were locked in fierce combat, and Ji Lin was taking a break, Meng Hongchen, Ling Luochen, and Nan Qiuqiu were also wreaking havoc in the upper courtyard.

Meng Hongchen elegantly wielded two ice-blue swords, clad in ice-blue soul-guided armor, resembling a Valkyrie. Wherever she passed, blue sword light flashed, and the evil soul masters in black robes turned pale, their bodies stiffening as they collapsed to the ground, poisoned one by one by Meng Hongchen's chilling poison.

Ling Luochen held an ice staff, her entire body encased in icy armor. As she advanced, icy mist covered the entire courtyard, and rings of ice shimmered, freezing the evil soul masters into ice sculptures without any power to resist.

Remembering Ji Lin's instructions, neither of them killed the evil spirit master. These were resources for Ye Guyi's growth, and they couldn't be wasted.

Meanwhile, Nan Qiuqiu was fighting a female evil spirit master wielding two swords. Judging from the female evil spirit master's dark red high ponytail, she was the same female evil spirit master who had chased Nan Qiuqiu and taken Xu Shenshu away last time, but then deliberately let Nan Qiuqiu go.

Seeing the evil spirit masters retreating in defeat, and quickly being taken down by Meng Hongchen and Ling Luochen, the female evil spirit master's figure flashed and retreated several meters.

"Clang!"

The pleasant sound of metal hitting the ground rang out. The female evil spirit master immediately dropped her twin swords, raised her hands high, and shouted, "Wait, I surrender!"

Nan Qiuqiu's Rouge Annihilation Sword, which was about to strike, stopped abruptly at the tip of the female evil spirit master's nose. The female evil spirit master looked at the pink sword tip so close to her, a bead of cold sweat dripping from her forehead. She swallowed hard, realizing she was about to meet the so-called Holy Emperor.

Nan Qiuqiu frowned as she looked at the female evil spirit master who had raised her hands in surrender. "You're a very strange person. Your strength should be more than this. What exactly do you want?"

Having witnessed the power of the female evil spirit master who instantly defeated Xu Shenshu, Nan Qiuqiu was certain that the female evil spirit master hadn't used her full strength at all, even though Xu Shenshu wasn't at his peak at that time. And it was the same now; she was just going through the motions and surrendered in the end.

Ling Luochen and Meng Hongchen also curiously gathered around, the three women surrounding the female evil spirit master to prevent her from playing any underhanded tricks.

The female evil spirit master spoke up: "Miss Nan Qiuqiu, for the sake of the fact that I let you go last time, could you please listen to what I have to say?"

The female evil spirit master's voice was surprisingly pleasant, clear and melodious, completely lacking the gloom of an evil spirit master.

When Meng Hongchen heard her voice, he frowned, feeling a sense of familiarity.

But she quickly shook her head, dismissing it as a figment of her imagination; how could she possibly find the voice of an evil spirit master familiar?

Nan Qiuqiu deactivated her soul skill, Rouge Annihilation Sword. Last time, it was indeed this female evil soul master who let her go, which allowed her to hold on until Ji Lin rescued her. Otherwise, if they had only stopped her for a few minutes, she would have been caught up quickly and wouldn't have been able to wait for Ji Lin and the others to pass by and rescue her.

Strictly speaking, she owes the female evil spirit master a favor.

Nan Qiuqiu pursed her lips and said, "Go ahead and say it."

Although she now loathes evil spirit masters because of her mother's arrest, she also has a strong sense of gratitude and revenge, so she is willing to give female evil spirit masters a chance.

Otherwise, the fate awaiting female evil spirit masters will inevitably be to become nourishment for Ye Guyi.
