Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 797 Roaring to the Sky (6K)

"Let's talk this out."

A look of terror flashed in the evil spirit master's eyes. Before he could even release his spirit ring, the old man struck him twice in the ears, causing blood to flow from both ears, and he collapsed to the ground, stunned.

The same scene was playing out in various parts of the water dungeon. These evil spirit masters couldn't understand why the Soul-Destroying Powder they had personally sprinkled would suddenly lose its effectiveness.

When they were seething with anger and wanted to teach these seemingly lifeless Soul Masters a lesson, they discovered that the group had all regained their cultivation. Caught off guard, they were suffocated to death by the enraged Soul Masters.

South city wall.

All the patrolling soldiers now turned their gazes toward the north of the city, where the brilliant golden light that had risen was gradually fading away.

Flames could be faintly seen shooting into the sky from both the east and west city walls, and the repeated violent explosions made the atmosphere in the south city particularly oppressive.

Many soldiers secretly rejoiced that their side hadn't encountered any problems yet.

"What are you all looking at? Get back to your positions and do what you're supposed to do!" A stern voice suddenly rang out, and the soldiers hurriedly returned to their posts amidst his shouts.

"Battalion Commander, come quick! What is this?" a soldier in charge of detecting soul-guided devices suddenly exclaimed.

"Huh?" The battalion commander who had been yelling at the soldiers earlier quickly ran over.

"What's going on?"

"Commander, there's a fluctuation of soul power. But there's no one there at all!" The soldier pointed to the simple soul guidance screen in front of him.

On the soul guidance screen, large swaths of green ripples floated. This indicated that there was an extremely strong and widespread fluctuation of soul power beneath the city.

"This is."

The battalion commander was also somewhat bewildered. He immediately looked at the other detection soul tools around him, but they all seemed to be unresponsive and had not detected the presence of any living beings. Only the soul power detection soul tool in front of him was working.

A series of bright lights flashed, and the hostages, who had been imprisoned for months and suffered countless hardships, finally erupted.

The cage can confine those whose soul power is restricted, but how can it restrain a strong person whose soul power has been restored?

All the cages shattered in the next moment, and as soon as the hostages rushed out, a large number of ranged attack soul skills covered the evil soul masters.

Meanwhile, amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the city walls began to collapse. At the far end of the water prison, some of the specially reinforced fences, as thick as a baby's arm, even had their exits blasted open.

How exactly did the Soul Masters in these water dungeons recover their cultivation?

Even if Huo Yuhao could concoct the antidote, he couldn't buy it from within the city.

Whether Shrek's people were inside or outside the city was a crucial factor in the Soul Hall's ability to clear its name and continue cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao temporarily entrusted a bead to Ma Xiaotao. This bead was formed from the essence of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item.

The Fragrant Silk Fairy is a true nemesis of all poisons, capable of neutralizing all toxins.

Although it cannot detoxify itself, it can counteract the effects of poison.

Ma Xiaotao doesn't need to worry about the antidote, as that would expose her presence. All she needs to do is cultivate in the water prison with the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item.

Her own cultivation fluctuations could completely mask the faint fluctuations emitted by the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item, but they allowed the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item to take effect and counteract the effects of the Soul-Destroying Powder in the Water.

After the effects of the Soul-Destroying Powder wore off for two consecutive days, the Soul Masters in the water prison had recovered about 60-70% of their cultivation. With Huo Yuhao's guidance from the sidelines, no one was in a hurry to leave. Instead, they waited for Huo Yuhao's signal to attack the city before finally starting their collective breakout.

A prison break, a rescue from the execution ground?

We can't afford to wipe out the Soul Palace's meager resources here. Rather than leading hundreds of burdens on a prison break, it's better to let these people recover their fighting strength and start running away on their own.

Everything was proceeding perfectly according to Huo Yuhao's plan.

Although the two evil soul master elders reacted immediately, they were facing hundreds of soul masters.

Among these Soul Masters are not only students representing their academies and sects, but also teachers, team leaders, and powerful figures from their sects. Among these people, there are quite a few with seventh or eighth Soul Rings!

Having been trapped for so long, they had suffered enough at the hands of these evil spirit masters, living in pain and on the verge of life and death every day. When this pent-up frustration suddenly exploded, their desperate and all-out fighting spirit was something even evil spirit masters would fear!

Several of the dozens of evil spirit masters were killed in the first wave of attacks.

Although the two elders had no idea why the hostages had regained their fighting ability, all they could do now was to evacuate quickly.

Work is taught by the Holy Spirit, but life is your own!

At this moment, the Soul Masters, who had just been tortured in the water dungeon for more than half a month, were radiating anger, which made Huo Yuhao tremble with fear.

The resentment emanating from these people is no less than that of the lost "headless" or even the "Seven-Faced Warriors" transformed from vengeful spirits.

At this moment, these Soul Masters were all fearless and fought just like the warriors of the undead legion.

In their minds, there are only two things left now—either busy living or busy dying. If they break through, they will live; if they can't break through, they'll kill one as a bonus, or kill two as a bonus.

As long as I don't have to stay in the water prison and feel my body getting weaker and weaker, and feel the maggots on my legs gnawing at my wounds, then it's all a win.

Hundreds of Soul Masters who are not even afraid of death are like hundreds of mad dogs.

Despite being called Soul Masters, the sight of them emerging from the water prison with bloodshot eyes made them look no different from evil spirits that had just crawled out of hell.

"Drink it!"

A five-ring Soul Master roared to the sky, enduring a Soul Master's ray gun. Despite a gash in his stomach, he continued his charge, slamming his spiked club down and smashing a soldier's brains open, blood splattering on the spot.

Another Soul Master had his leg blown off by a string of Soul Guidance Cannonballs, but he still frantically unleashed his Soul Power, pouring his Soul Skills onto all the Soul Guidance Legion soldiers around him. Once his Soul Power was exhausted, he shattered his own skull with a single palm strike, his entire body stiffened, and he collapsed completely on the battlefield.

"Madness, utter madness!"

The Soul Guidance Legion soldiers, who were already engaged in close combat with the hostages who had rushed out, felt a chill, as if from the far north, suddenly shoot up their spines and into their brains. Looking at these fearless madmen, they felt that this group of people was just like the legendary beast tide!

Only the soul beasts in the beast tide would be so crazy and so fearless, even to the point of biting off a piece of flesh from their enemy before they die!

An indescribable sense of fear first appeared in the Soul Masters who were closest to the hostages, causing them to subconsciously begin to crumble.
