Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 800 All Evil Soul Masters Died Beneath This Tree (6K)

The Third Elder and Fourth Elder quickly stopped and flew towards Huo Yuhao below, while Zhang Peng circled around and blocked Huo Yuhao's escape from behind.

Ma Xiaotao, on the other hand, maintained her true form as a dark fire phoenix, hovering in the sky.

The sky and the earth are completely blocked, leaving no room for escape. This time, we are determined to capture Huo Yuhao alive!

Before long, the Third Elder rushed to Huo Yuhao's side and grabbed him without saying a word.

The next moment, something completely unexpected happened to the Third Elder: his ghostly hand passed right through Huo Yuhao's chest and grabbed nothing.

"This is... a condensation of spiritual energy?"

The Fourth Elder was immediately astonished; the opponent's spiritual power was truly terrifying!

When the Third Elder saw that this was just a spiritual energy condensation, a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes. He looked up at the large tree behind Huo Yuhao, whose bark had been peeled off. Several words were crookedly carved on it, clearly just recently.

"Third Brother, this kid can't have gone far. Not to mention that the distance between the spiritual energy condensation and the physical body is usually only within a few kilometers, the words on the tree bark are also quite new."

"What my fourth brother says is very true."

The Third Elder's eyes lit up, and he began to pay attention again to the words carved on the tree that Huo Yuhao had peeled off.

[All evil spirit masters perished beneath this tree—Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao.]

"Hmph, childish tricks. Does he think he can anger me with that?"

The Third Elder gave a forced, insincere smile.

Zhang Peng had just circled around from behind when he heard the Third Elder's words and immediately sensed something was wrong.

"All the evil spirit masters perished beneath this tree? Hmph, once I catch him, I'll make sure he knows the Holy Church's methods."

As he spoke, the Third Elder swung his palm straight at the large tree.

"No!"

As soon as Zhang Peng heard the words left on the tree by the Third Elder, he immediately realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

"Click—"

The next moment, the giant tree in front of them was snapped in half by the Third Elder, revealing the fixed soul-guided cannonball that had been hollowed out and stuffed inside the tree.

boom!

A deafening explosion instantly engulfed the entire area, as if the heavens and earth themselves had changed color.

The terrifying power of the fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell was on full display at this moment, and the energy it released was like an angry dragon, ravaging everything around it.

The sky seemed to have been torn open, with dazzling light and billowing smoke intertwining, enveloping the entire area as if the end of the world had arrived.

A powerful shockwave emanated from the tree and spread outwards, causing the ground to shake violently, snapping trees, and creating a scene of chaos and dust.

The Third Elder and the Fourth Elder, both titled Douluo-level powerhouses, were directly swallowed up by the destructive force at the core of the explosion.

Their soul-guided shields appeared so fragile in the face of this fixed-position soul-guided shell, collapsing instantly as if made of paper.

Their bodies were torn to pieces by the high temperature and shockwave, and they didn't even have a chance to struggle before they perished in the ruins.

Having narrowly escaped death from Huo Yuhao's explosion, Zhang Peng began fleeing almost the instant the Third Elder raised his hand.

He knew it wouldn't be good for him to come out today!

Although he reacted quickly and immediately activated all his soul power to form a shield, the destructive power of the fixed soul-guided cannonball in front of him was indeed beyond imagination.

Although Zhang Peng withdrew from the most destructive core area in an instant and did his best to resist the explosion, he was still seriously injured by the aftershocks.

He felt an indescribable pain emanating from all parts of his body, as if countless sharp blades were piercing through his flesh and blood. At this moment, his soul power shield also cracked and was on the verge of collapse.

"Six offerings!"

Ma Xiaotao was also blasted away by the shockwave from the explosion. Fortunately, she had been in her Martial Soul True Body state, which greatly increased her defense. At the same time, she was quite far from the epicenter of the explosion, so she only suffered minor injuries and rushed over.

Seeing Zhang Peng's serious injuries, Ma Xiaotao immediately realized that this was a golden opportunity.

However, Ma Xiaotao suppressed her impulse. If she really wanted to kill Zhang Peng, Huo Yuhao, who was still hiding nearby, wouldn't wait for her to make the first move. Perhaps Huo Yuhao had discovered something.

Although her face showed urgency, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. A Super Douluo was an extremely rare force within the Holy Spirit Sect. If Zhang Peng could really be killed here, the Holy Spirit Sect would suffer a severe blow.

She hurriedly took out two healing pills and stuffed them into Zhang Peng's mouth, whose mind was still somewhat blank from the explosion. Ma Xiaotao then took out a water bag and forcefully poured it into Zhang Peng's mouth, as if she wanted to choke him to death.

Zhang Peng, who was initially disoriented from the explosion, had a fleeting, fierce glint in his dazed eyes, which vanished just as quickly. Ma Xiaotao felt her hair stand on end, as if she were being locked onto by an extremely sharp aura.

It's Zhang Peng's scorpion hook!

Such a seasoned and ruthless reaction; the other party's stunned reaction was completely an act.

It's not that Zhang Peng suspects I'm an undercover agent, but if I don't rescue him in time, and Huo Yuhao makes a direct move, I'll inevitably have to take a hit from Zhang Peng's well-hidden scorpion hook!

Caught off guard, even a Super Douluo of the same level could be killed by a single hook!

As expected of a formidable figure who can serve as one of the Sixth Elders in the Holy Spirit Cult, the calm response he made in such a short time was just like that of a soul beast that walks on the edge of life and death day and night in the Star Dou Forest.

Even when severely injured, it never accepts its fate. Instead, it lies dormant, feigning idiocy, waiting for the enemy to attack before leaping up and biting off the enemy's neck.

Zhang Peng, who devours beast blood and hunts beast souls to become stronger, seems more like a soul beast than a soul beast itself. It's likely that he learned his trick of feigning madness from a soul beast that had tricked him before.

After Ma Xiaotao's first aid, Zhang Peng's pupils, which had been swollen from the "explosion" and looked like he was in a daze, finally became solid again, and he shuddered.

"Holy Maiden, this place has been plotted against. It would be wise for us to retreat first, so as not to lose face. Hurry up, hurry up."

As he spoke, Zhang Peng quickly scrambled to his feet and flew towards the location of Sunrise City.

Seeing Zhang Peng's timid and hesitant demeanor, Ma Xiaotao's apprehension grew even stronger.

If I hadn't nearly choked Zhang Peng to death while feeding him water, and hadn't sensed how deeply the other party was hiding his true intentions, I might have been fooled by Zhang Peng's cowardly and weak-willed demeanor.
