Soon, a lieutenant colonel arrived in the meeting room, his face unable to hide his excitement…
"Report to the commander-in-chief, our Blood God Army has successfully withstood the assault of the Holy Spirit Cult!"
After hearing this, Jiang Qiyue calmly said, "Very good!"
Being able to fend off the attack from the Holy Spirit Cult was within her expectations, so she was not at all surprised!
She then asked again, "Where is the corps commander?"
The lieutenant colonel paused for a moment, then replied, "After those Holy Spirit Cult powerhouses retreated, the corps commander rushed to the abyss at the first opportunity. We still don't know the situation there!"
Jiang Qiyue narrowed her beautiful eyes, "Send someone to investigate immediately. The Holy Spirit Cult is a minor issue; guarding the abyss is what's most important!"
The lieutenant colonel clearly realized that the true danger hadn't been resolved yet and responded seriously, "Yes, sir!"
However, as he stepped to leave, Jiang Qiyue suddenly stopped him, "Wait!"
The officer turned back, showing a puzzled expression, "Commander-in-chief, is there anything else?"
"Notify Elder Ya'li and the Shrek Seven Monsters to come here!"
She needed to discuss the next steps with them!
The lieutenant colonel responded once more, nodded briefly, and then left…
After waiting for about ten minutes, footsteps could be heard from outside…
Jiang Qiyue said, "Come in!"
Then, Tang Wulin and the rest of the Seven Monsters entered…
Upon seeing her, Tang Wulin gave a military salute, "July… no, now I should call you Commander-in-chief Jiang!"
Jiang Qiyue shook her head, glancing over them, "It's just a title; you can call me whatever you like. But where is Elder Ya'li?"
Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "Elder Ya'li has encountered some trouble…"
Jiang Qiyue maintained her composure, "I understand."
In her view, Ya'li had most likely been injured in a battle with the powerhouses of the Holy Spirit Cult!
Immediately, her expression grew more solemn, "I've called you here mainly to discuss our next course of action!"
"Although we managed to stop the attack of the Holy Spirit Cult this time, there's still no news from the abyss. I've already sent people to scout the situation!"
Tang Wulin said gravely, "I think it should be fine. With the corps commander rushing to the abyss, there are five Ultimate Douluos altogether. Even if there are many Abyssal Emperors! If they can't beat them, they can still retreat!"
Despite saying this, he still felt regret that Xu Sheng had left!
Otherwise, they could have caught all the powerhouses of the Holy Spirit Cult in one fell swoop today!
Xie Xie suddenly said, "Perhaps the Turbid World Elder and the others have already launched a full-scale attack on the abyss!"
However, Yuanen Yehui immediately dismissed his suggestion, "Impossible, not to mention the mysterious Abyssal Emperor, just the twenty or thirty Abyssal Emperors whose strength is at the Ultimate Douluo level within, both in numbers and quality, already overwhelmingly suppress the Blood God Army!"
"Launching a full-scale attack would be tantamount to seeking death!"
Yue Zhengyu's mouth twitched, "Ye Hui, don't speak so absolutely, otherwise, how can we see any chance of victory at all?"
Xu Xiaoyan sighed, "Actually… I also think Ye Hui is right. If the major powers cannot unite, relying solely on the Blood God Army and Shrek Academy, it is impossible to stop the abyssal creatures from breaking through the seal!"
"How about… seeking support from other forces? It might be a bit late, but there might still be remarkable effects!"
Ye Xinglan's beautiful eyes lit up, "Gu Yue has succeeded as the Spirit Pagoda's master, hasn't she? We can seek her assistance!"
In an instant, everyone revealed a look of realization…
Right, they had almost forgotten, the current master of the Spirit Pagoda was one of their closest companions!
Thereupon, they all turned their eager eyes toward Tang Wulin…
The latter, upon seeing this, was also somewhat embarrassed but genuinely couldn't think of a reason to refuse. After all, the abyssal creatures breaking out of the seal were threatening the entire Continent!
"I think it's indeed worth a try!"
Considering their relationship with Gu Yue, they shouldn't just stand by and watch, should they?
...
In the Abyss!
Blood One was alone, exhausted facing the assault of four Abyssal Emperors; his whole being was utterly drained!
But his body was covered with one ferocious scar after another, which reminded him every moment that he couldn't just fall like this!
The Demon Emperor looked at him with pity and said coldly, "Such a foolish human. You are already injured like this and still refuse to give up!"
The Fierce Emperor, too, said with a blank face, "You might as well look back; your companions have already become food for the abyssal creatures. No matter how stubbornly you persist, it's all in vain!"
The Sickle Emperor said impatiently, "Why bother talking so much with him? This guy is already close to death; just chop off his head quickly!"
To think that four grand Abyssal Emperors were being held up by a single human Soul Master was a monumental disgrace!
The Chemical Emperor curled his lips, "Agreed, we need to behead this human. As long as he has a breath left, he will keep standing up!"
Sure enough, Blood One, lying on the ground, endured the faintness invading his mind and forced himself to stand up again...
He bit his own thin lip mercilessly; the faint taste of blood and the pain jolted him a bit more awake...
His eyes fixed firmly on the Abyssal Emperors in front, "Even if I die, you lot will never break through the seal!"
Blood One, I can now understand the resolution you had at that time!
Since death is inevitable, then let's make our final contribution to the entire Continent before it comes!
The next second, his entire body began to emit a blinding white light, as he started to madly compress his last life force!
The Sickle Emperor exclaimed in surprise, "What does this guy plan to do?? It seems like he's sacrificing his own life?"
The Demon Emperor sneered, "Heh, now that's perfect, we don't have to dirty our hands personally!"
The Fierce Emperor seemed to have realized something, and his pupils suddenly constricted, "No, that's not right. He's planning to burn his final life force to strengthen the seal on the abyss; we must stop him!"
Upon hearing this, the Chemical Emperor immediately sprinted towards Blood One and launched his hand towards his head...
"Cunning human, we have been waiting for so many years, how could you possibly succeed! Go to hell!"
But before he could touch him, a terrifying shockwave erupted around Blood One, forcefully repelling his massive body...
Witnessing all this, Blood One revealed a knowing smile, "It's finally over!!"
But as he felt the hollowness in his chest, his expression instantly froze...
Piercing his chest was a slender arm, and in its palm, it held a beating heart...
The figure behind him pressed close to his back and whispered into his ear, "Yes, it's over!"
Then, with a swing of a hand blade, a head flew off...
With a thud, Blood One, now headless, collapsed powerlessly into the pool of blood...
In the face of that figure, the Abyssal Emperors bowed, addressing him with respectful tones, "Emperor!!"
