Guan Yue merely snorted coldly, once again gripping the Sky Piercing God Spear, thrusting it straight towards the Ghost Emperor's face...
The latter didn't dodge, allowing the long spear to penetrate through his body...
Although it seemed like a successful strike, Guan Yue didn't feel as though he had hit a solid object and chose to retreat without hesitation...
As expected, a cold sneer curled at the corner of the Ghost Emperor's mouth...
Following that, his body began to swell, and upon reaching its limit, it exploded directly into pitch-black flames that spread towards everything around...
Even though Guan Yue had anticipated some sort of scheme, he was still touched by a few strands of the flames while evading...
A burning pain slowly emanated from his limbs...
Guan Yue had to bear it, his expression darkening as he said, "It seems the one I've been fighting this whole time was a clone of the Ghost Emperor! His true body has been hidden in the shadows all along!"
But what's the point of doing this?
Wait, could it be to buy time, to completely transform all the Soul Masters in the entire city into evil Soul Masters?
As if to confirm his suspicion, the Ghost Emperor's voice sounded throughout the space once more...
"My goal has been achieved! As a token of my gratitude, accept the following grand gift, and be enemies with all the evil Soul Masters in the city! Hahahahaha!!"
Guan Yue attempted to track the source of the voice with his spiritual power but sadly, he failed!
"Unable to pinpoint the Ghost Emperor's location based on the sound, this is going to be troublesome..."
If they couldn't deal with the Ghost Emperor, they would have to face the evil Soul Masters of the entire city!
The two War Gods engaged in combat also realized something was amiss, quickly disposed of their current opponents, and gathered beside Guan Yue...
One of the War Gods furrowed his brow and said, "Lord Chen, what should we do??"
The other War God suggested, "All the Soul Masters in this city have become evil Soul Masters, I'm afraid there are more than ten thousand of them. Lord Chen, we should retreat first!"
No sooner had the words been spoken than they were vetoed by Guan Yue, "No, allowing these evil Soul Masters to leave would cause catastrophic disasters."
Perhaps these Soul Masters were not strong in themselves, but after being transformed into evil Soul Masters, their strength would leap qualitatively. They must not be taken lightly!
"But, just by ourselves, it's not realistic to think we can deal with so many evil Soul Masters!"
"No matter what, it's up to you to decide, Lord Chen. If we must fight, we won't be cowards!"
Guan Yue looked deeply at the two men, "If that's the case, then we fight! We might not be able to save them, but at the very least we must allow the souls of these Soul Masters and civilians to rest in peace!!"
The eyes of the two War Gods flickered with determination, "Yes, Lord Chen."
As they spoke, all the evil Soul Masters began to converge on their location, dense like a tide of darkness...
Guan Yue was the first to grip the Sky Piercing God Spear tightly, charging into the throng of evil Soul Masters. After imbuing his Soul Power into it, he swept through them, reducing hundreds of evil Soul Masters to ashes!
The two War Gods were not to be outdone, unleashing their own area-of-effect soul skills. In the blink of an eye, several hundred more converted evil Soul Masters fell into puddles of blood...
But with every person that fell, their hearts grew heavier...
After all, these were all living people!!
...
After a brief encounter, the Abyssal Emperor realized something was amiss, his gaze fixated on Chen Xinjie's helmet...
He said in a cold voice, "Your helmet doesn't seem to belong to this world!"
Chen Xinjie hadn't expected the other party to realize so quickly, still maneuvering the surrounding sea to condense into streams of water, endlessly surging towards the Ghost Emperor...
"I have no reason to tell you!"
This helmet can enhance my spiritual power and defend against spiritual attacks from anyone below the God Rank!
However, such an attack is hardly worth mentioning for the Abyssal Emperor, at most it can only serve as a distraction...
With a swing of the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Trident, he directly severed these streams of water...
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Xinjie once again shouted coldly, "Eighth soul skill, Sea God's Fury!"
The entire ocean gradually converged to form a Sea God illusion that was a hundred meters tall, although its face was unclear, the Sea God's Trident it symbolized stood out unmistakably!
Following that, the Sea God raised the Sea God's Trident in its hand, and several water dragons surged up from below, opening their huge maws and sweeping forward...
Despite the terrifying aura they emitted, under the attack of the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss, they were still as flimsy as paper...
The moment they made contact, they burst into waves...
The Abyssal Emperor jeered, "Such a level of attack also dares to bear the name of a god?"
However, the Sea God's illusion wielded the Sea God's Trident once again, and the water splashes that had just sprayed out, without any warning, connected together like chains, instantly binding the Abyssal Emperor...
The previous attack was merely to confuse the Abyssal Emperor, the real trump card...
Was that Sea God's Trident!
Under Chen Xinjie's control, the Sea God poured all its power into the Sea God's Trident, hurling it towards the bound Abyssal Emperor...
At the same time, he no longer had the strength to maintain his form and merged back into the ocean...
"Bang!!"
The Sea God's Trident, condensed from water, struck the Abyssal Emperor's chest precisely...
The formidable force sent him flying dozens of meters away, and after barely steadying himself, a visible wound appeared on his chest!
Chen Xinjie felt a surge of joy in his heart, silently thinking, "Success! This Abyssal Emperor's strength has not reached the True God level!"
The Abyssal Emperor, struck by this blow, was unexpectedly calm, bowing his head to glance at the wound on his chest, "Very well, you actually managed to injure me. In that case, this won't be a one-sided crush!!"
Tang Wulin, still watching their battle, exclaimed in shock, "There's no mistaking it, that move used by the Sea God's illusion just now is the Thousand Men's Point my father taught me!"
"But it's only with Lord Chen's immense Soul Power that it can injure the Abyssal Emperor. If it were me, not a single hair would fall!"
Xie Xie, following his gaze, asked in confusion, "Hey, Wulin, what have you been looking at this whole time? Eh? Is it the battle between Lord Chen and the Abyssal Emperor? Whoa... it's terrifying. They've turned the whole sky into an ocean!"
Yue Zhengyu, seeing this, said with eyes full of envy, "That's the strength of a Limit Douluo. If we all reach that level, exterminating abyssal creatures would be a piece of cake!"
Xu Xiaoyan gave him a glance, "Come on, even for a Limit Douluo, this battle is incredibly dangerous. Otherwise, why would both Turbid World Elder and Elder Feng have..."
Tang Wulin decisively turned away, shaking his head, "Although Turbid World Elder and Elder Feng have sacrificed themselves, they were great. Let's not dwell on this issue; the War Gods of the War God Hall are still clashing with the Abyssal Emperors!"
"Once our Soul Power is restored, we must assist them immediately!"
Hearing this, the others stood up immediately, "We've already recovered. We were just waiting for your word, Wulin!"
