----
This was because there were strict rules in the Soul Master Tournament that forbade killing. Otherwise, one would be severely punished. Therefore, the matches between teams had always been sparring, and no one would be killed.
But today, at this moment, a bloody murder had happened in front of everyone.
The entire arena was dead silent.
The arena was filled with red mist. Although the people inside couldn't see anything, the people outside could vaguely see what was happening. In addition, Fang Xuan had dispersed the red mist released by Hu Liena and Xie Yue, so most of the people in the arena saw Yan's death.
Fang Xuan's domineering stance when he slashed Yan with his sword was deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
"Dead. A member of the Spirit Hall's golden generation has died …"
The entire arena was in an uproar. Death. This was something that no one had expected. Furthermore, the person who had died was a famous member of the Spirit Hall's golden generation. Something big was going to happen.
"Damn it. Fang Xuan is vicious and merciless. He killed a member of our Martial Spirit Hall. This has violated the rules of the tournament. Your Majesty, I request that they be disqualified immediately" Chrysanthemum Douluo said angrily.
"Disqualification is not enough. A life for a life. Fang Xuan must pay with his life" Ghost Douluo said coldly.
At this moment, another scream rang out. Shi Mó was sent flying and fell from the arena. There was a fist-sized bloody hole in his chest. His heart was crushed by a member of the Spirit Hall, and he died on the spot.
The entire arena was dead silent.
Bibi Dong's face was gloomy. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were speechless. They had wanted to use the rules to disqualify Fang Xuan and the others, but they didn't expect that a murder would happen in the Spirit Hall. A member of Heaven Dou's team had his heart crushed and was killed on the spot.
Everyone gradually fell silent, and they all had different expressions.
This was the first time that a death had happened in a Soul Master Tournament. Furthermore, it was two people, one from the Spirit Hall and one from Heaven Dou. The audience was stunned. These two teams were in a killing frenzy, and there was no way to stop them.
"Shi Mó!!"
Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Graphite, and Imperial Wind's eyes turned red when they saw the tragic death of one of their companions.
Fang Xuan wasn't feeling too good either. Although he and Shi Mó weren't sworn brothers, they were still teammates from the Heaven Dou Academy. They'd also been teammates for over a year. Their bond ran deep. Who would have thought that Stone Mill would die so miserably when they were to the Soul Master finals?
"Ah …"
Fang Xuan's long hair fluttered in the wind as he let out a thunderous roar. His black blade pierced through heaven and earth, and his murderous aura engulfed the entire area. He forcefully dispersed the red mist drifting around the stage and neutralized Hu Liena and Xie Yue's soul skills.
Ye Lingling's pretty face was filled with grief. Immortal Begonia cast down rays of holy light and enveloped Stone Mill's body in an attempt to heal his injuries. However, she failed. Shi Mó's heart had been shattered, and there was no way to save him.
The young girl shook her head and sighed. "No, there's no other way."
"Brother"
Shi Mò's tiger-like eyes turned red, and tears flowed down from his eyes. He and Shi Mó were brothers. Seeing his brother die in front of him, he was filled with grief and indignation. He locked onto the Spirit Hall team like a vicious wolf.
"Martial Spirit Hall … I'll fight you to the death"
"Damn it! The Emperor Team will kill you all today"
The Spirit Hall also lost a member, and they were also furious. They were full of hatred for the Emperor Team.
Both teams had lost a member and formed a blood feud. They were all emotional and abnormally angry. They shouted that they would kill each other. The situation had gone out of control, and the competition was about to turn into a slaughter.
"Your Holiness, do we need to stop this competition?"
The referee presiding over this competition was a red-robed bishop from the Spirit Hall. He felt that the situation on the stage was tricky. He could neither judge that both sides had violated the rules nor could he stop the competition.
This was the championship of the Soul Master Finals. Tens of thousands of spectators were looking forward to the final result of the competition. Who would dare to stop the competition?
Faced with such a tricky situation, the red-robed bishop couldn't make a decision. He could only ask Bibi Dong.
"Killing is not allowed in the Soul Master Competition. This is the iron law set by the Spirit Hall and the two empires. It cannot be violated. However, both teams have violated the rules today, and it was an unexpected incident. Therefore, this competition will not be investigated."
Bibi Dong said coldly, "The competition will continue as usual. No one is allowed to interfere"
Since His Holiness had given the order, no one dared to say anything.
"Revenge! Kill — — "
Shi Mò's eyes were blood-red. He took the lead to kill. He wanted to avenge his dead brother, Shi Mó. Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the others also followed closely behind Graphite. They were ready to fight to the death with the Martial Spirit Hall!
"Whoosh"
At this moment, Fang Xuan suddenly descended from the sky and blocked in front of Shi Mò, Yu Tianheng, and the others. He stopped the impulsive people and signaled them not to act rashly.
Now, the members of the Spirit Hall were all Soul Kings and above. Even the weakest person was five or six ranks higher than Yu Tianheng. The gap between the two sides was too big. Anger couldn't make up for the gap in strength. They would only be courting death.
"Leave this place to me"
Fang Xuan's black hair was loose and his eyes were deep. He glanced at Yu Tianheng, Graphite, and the others one by one. He said firmly, "I will seek justice for Shi Mò and bring back the champion's trophy"
"Captain …"
Everyone was stunned. They looked at Fang Xuan doubtfully. They didn't know what he was going to do.
"Boom"
At this moment, Fang Xuan suddenly released a powerful aura. It swept everyone off the stage like a strong wind. He was going to deal with the Spirit Hall alone to avoid any more casualties in his team.
"Captain, you …"
Yu Tianheng, Shi Mò, Dugu Yan, Yu Feng, and Ye Lingling were all in a daze. They looked at Fang Xuan and couldn't help but sigh. They knew that Fang Xuan was protecting them. He was going to take on everything by himself!
"God, is Fang Xuan going to challenge the Spirit Hall alone?"
Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect Fang Xuan to choose to send his team members off the stage at the last moment. He was going to challenge the Spirit Hall alone. Although Yan was dead, the Spirit Hall still had Hu Liena and Xie Yue. Their Soul Fusion skill was very powerful. Furthermore, the other four members of the Martial Spirit Hall were all Soul Kings. It wouldn't be easy for Fang Xuan to challenge the entire Martial Spirit Hall team alone.
"Arrogant! He's courting death"
"Despicable guy, how dare he look down on us"
"Kill Fang Xuan and avenge Yan"
Everyone from the Spirit Hall was enraged. Fang Xuan's actions were undoubtedly a form of contempt in their eyes. The flames of hatred in their hearts burned fiercely, and the morale of the entire team soared!
"Let's go together! Kill Fang Xuan"
A gender-neutral voice rang out. Hu Liena and Xie Yue had fused to form Bewitching Charm. Her voice was filled with endless anger. Her blood-red hair danced in the wind, and her body was filled with killing intent. She was ready to launch the final attack on Fang Xuan. After Fang Xuan's control of the red fog was broken, they were left with only one choice — to fight to the death.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Soul Fusion skill not only had control abilities but also greatly increased their Soul Power. Before they fused, they already had Soul Power that was infinitely close to that of a Soul Sage. After they fused, their Soul Power reached the level of a peak Soul Sage. Even if they didn't rely on the red fog, their fighting strength could still sweep the entire field.
"Demon Fox True Body"
Suddenly, the tall figure with long flowing hair disappeared. In its place was a huge demon fox that was seven meters long. It had nine tails that danced behind it, and its back was filled with blood-red blades. It looked like a hedgehog. From afar, this demon fox's killing intent soared into the sky. It was extremely terrifying.
"Unbelievable. Hu Liena and Xie Yue have joined forces to use their Martial Soul True Bodies. Furthermore, they're in the state of Martial Soul Fusion. Doesn't this mean that they're supported by the strength of two Martial Soul True Bodies? This is too strong" Someone exclaimed.
Hu Liena's Demon Fox True Body and Xie Yue's Moonblade True Body merged perfectly at this moment, turning into an unprecedentedly powerful demon fox. Their fighting strength increased by 200%.
"Kill"
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, the Fox Demon True Body, and all the members of the Martial Spirit Palace team burst out their soul power like lava. They rushed towards Fang Xuan crazily with destructive power.
"Come on"
Two bolts of lightning shot out from Fang Xuan's eyes. The five pitch-black Soul Rings on his body shone brightly. The Blue Emperor Killing Array's divine patterns appeared beneath his feet. Divine light shone and spread along the ground like a rising tide. It quickly enveloped everyone from the Spirit Hall.
"Unity of Sword and Spirit"
The blood-red Slaughter Sword Qi was burning fiercely. Fang Xuan's fighting spirit soared up to the sky. Holding the black sword in his hand, he entered the state of being one with the sword. Looking at the group of powerful enemies who were rushing towards him, there was no fear on his determined face. He waved the black sword and turned into red lightning, fiercely pouncing on the Spirit Palace team.
"Kill"
Fang Xuan roared. His black hair danced wildly as he clashed with the Martial Spirit Hall's team. This was the final clash between the two teams. The crowd was boiling with enthusiasm.
"Na Na, you must win" Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the rest of the Spirit Hall's team were silently praying for Hu Liena and the others. They hoped that they could become the champions.
"Go for it! Captain" Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the rest of Huang Dou's team members were loudly cheering for Fang Xuan. They knew that their captain would never let them down.
"Fang Xuan defeats the Spirit Hall" Determined cheers sounded from all around the arena.
At this moment, the audience was surprised to find that Tang San, Feng Xiaotian, Fire Dance, and Shui Bing'er had all stood up to cheer for Fang Xuan. Shrek Academy, God Wind Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Skywater Academy, who were once rivals, were now cheering for Fang Xuan. Everyone found it unbelievable.
They were rivals in the arena. They had fought to the death and fought with all their strength. However, they were all from the Heaven Dou Empire. They were not mortal enemies. Instead, they formed a friendship during the war. Therefore, at this final moment, everyone was cheering for Fang Xuan and the Emperor Team.
"Rumble"
A thunderous sound suddenly came from the arena, shaking the heavens and the earth. The entire giant stone arena collapsed. Smoke and dust filled the air. Blood splattered everywhere. Soul power shockwaves swept everywhere. This terrifying power was like a nuclear bomb explosion.
"How is it? Who won?" Everyone swallowed their saliva and stared at the arena without blinking. They were eager to know the final result of the match.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, a thin figure gradually appeared. His black hair was stained with blood. His robe was torn, and his body was covered with hideous wounds. He was holding a pitch-black sword in his hand. Under his feet … was a group of young prodigies from the Martial Spirit Hall.
The world was shocked.
