Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 798 Tide of Humanoid Beasts (6K)

This triggered a chain reaction, with large numbers of Soul Master Legion soldiers fleeing in panic.

They are noble Soul Masters, who should be stationed at their positions to wear down the enemy from a distance, instead of engaging in close combat with these fearless madmen and trading their lives for theirs!

The unstoppable rout took shape in a very short time. Even though the battalion commander shouted at the top of his lungs, apart from a few guards beside him, no one listened to his command on the noisy battlefield.

"Rumble—"

A tremendous roar resounded as an eight-ring elder unleashed his eighth soul skill, instantly killing the battalion commander of the soul master legion before he could react!

"The battalion commander is dead! The battalion commander is dead!!!"

A terrified scream, its tone distorted, rang out. This time, the fleeing soldiers heard it and even ran away a little faster.

If both sides are fully engaged in battle and have sufficient buffer distance, even if the hostages' soul masters are of high quality, they may not necessarily gain the upper hand.

Because the soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire's soul master groups have been working together for so long, their various soul tools complement each other and can unleash combat power far greater than the sum of their individual combat strength.

However, the Soul Master Squadron is now facing a dilemma: it has lost unified command and does not have a safe distance.

When they finally realized what was happening, they naturally couldn't unleash their strongest attacks immediately. Furthermore, the opposing Soul Masters were among the best of their kind from all the major sects and academies in the world—truly the elite of the elite.

The hostages at the forefront of the charge included four eight-ring Soul Douluos, twelve seven-ring Soul Saints, and more than twenty Soul Emperors.

Each of them is an elite among elites. Guided by mental detection and fueled by their inner frenzy, how could they possibly give their opponents any chance?

When the routed soldiers were completely wiped out, all the hostages also broke out of the water dungeon. At that moment, dazzling fireworks bloomed in the sky above Sunrise City.

That was clearly a distress signal sent by evil spirit masters within the city.

Huo Yuhao didn't even look at it; what he needed to do now was race against time with the hostages.

The evil spirit masters within the city aren't scary, not even the two titled Douluo-level evil spirit masters. What's scary is the large influx of reinforcements from Mingdu. Once those reinforcements arrive, things will get complicated.

After all, the five most powerful Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire are all equipped with flying Soul Tools.

Charge! Without giving the hostages any chance to catch their breath, Huo Yuhao gave the order to charge.

Only by breaking through the southern positions can they have a chance to survive.

The taste of freedom became the greatest motivating catalyst for the hostages.

Everyone was full of energy, unleashing their strongest potential as they rushed south.

The Shrek Academy people have come to rescue them. This is the only explanation Huo Yuhao left for these people, but this one sentence alone has already stirred up the hostages' longing for freedom.

But at that moment, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out, causing Huo Yuhao, who was suspended in mid-air, to turn around abruptly, his face turning grim.

How is this possible? How could it be so fast?

Where did that thunderous explosion come from? It came from the north wall of Sunrise City, the only part of the four walls of Sunrise City that had not been attacked before.

However, Huo Yuhao had already instructed Jing Ziyan to plant a large number of soul-guided bombs there.

He Caitou had control over these soul-guided bombs.

Before leaving, He Caitou left a high-altitude probe in the northern part of the city to monitor the situation outside the city.

Because if reinforcements from Mingdu arrive, they will definitely reach the north city first.

These bombs were planted to inflict casualties on the reinforcements when they arrived, and to distract them.

The timing of the bomb explosion was entirely controlled by He Caitou.

The bomb exploded in such a short time. What does this mean? It means that reinforcements from Mingdu have arrived.

And from the moment we started until now, only a few minutes have passed!

The arrival of reinforcements far exceeded his expectations, which brought about a huge change in the entire situation.

In a flash, Huo Yuhao used his mental power to tell the hostages to charge into the enemy's Soul Master position with all their might, defeat the enemy, rejoin their side, and immediately escape according to their plan.

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao realized what had happened. It was Zhao Yang. The Lone Wolf Soul Instructor Legion that had been sent out from Sunrise City must be arriving soon. That's why Zhao Yang had increased the speed and intensity of the siege. The sudden increase in intensity must have exceeded the expectations of the defending army and the Lone Wolf Soul Instructor Legion.

In other words, these reinforcements probably didn't come to support Risheng City at first, but rather to intercept Zhao Yang.

Using his mimicry ability, Huo Yuhao swallowed a Moon Concealing Candy and quickly flew towards Sunrise City.

After several volleys of fire from outside the city by He Caitou and his undead army, all of Sunrise City's high-altitude detection soul guides were rendered useless.

Without the threat of high-altitude soul tools, Huo Yuhao felt quite at ease with the combination of flying soul tools and mimicry soul skills.

But this exhilarating feeling quickly disappeared after he climbed to 500 meters in the air.

In the north, he could clearly see streaks of dark blue light rapidly descending from the sky near the northern city.

Although there were only a few hundred of these dark blue lights and shadows in total, an invisible pressure made him feel like he couldn't breathe.

Upon seeing these dark blue lights and shadows, Huo Yuhao's expression immediately changed.

Although he had never actually seen the Sun Moon Empire's strongest Soul Master Corps, his mental perception was extremely powerful, and his predictions of danger were quite accurate.

The oppressive force emanating from these hundreds of figures far surpassed that of the Soul Master Corps stationed outside the city.

Only the five Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire's Guardian Hand could possibly exert such pressure.

The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Corps is responsible for protecting the capital, and will not move lightly unless the emperor travels.

Therefore, the figures radiating a dark blue light before us are clearly one of the other four Beast King-level Soul Master Corps under the Guardian of the Nation.

The two 500-strong Soul Master Corps stationed around Sunrise City consisted mainly of Soul Masters with strength around the second or third ring. Their entry requirement was the second ring.

Their overall strength lies largely in the coordination and joint operations of their soul tools, as well as the use of soul tool positions.

One of the troops had been transferred away, and it was easily scattered by the hostage army, collapsing in disarray.
