Huo Yuhao suddenly said, “Brother Yaoheng, leave him alive. I have something to ask you.”
"Also, be careful."
Dai Yaoheng nodded, and rushed out with Ma Xiaotao and Chen Zifeng. The other four inner court disciples quickly followed.
After about ten seconds, Wang Yan waved his hand and led the reserve team to follow.
Huo Yuhao suddenly asked, "Teacher Wang, where is Master Xuan?"
Wang Yan said: "Don't worry, Master Xuan has actually been following us in the dark. This time, our opponent is no more than a Soul King, and will not be a match for Xiao Tao and the others. Unless something unexpected happens, Master Xuan will not help us."
Huo Yuhao was silent for a while, then said, “Teacher Wang, please don’t underestimate the evil soul master.”
"The power of evil soul masters is not only reflected in their cultivation speed, which is far faster than that of normal soul masters, but also in their lack of bottom line and unscrupulous means."
"To deal with ordinary soul kings, Senior Sister Xiaotao and the others are definitely strong enough, but when dealing with evil soul masters, no matter how cautious you are, you can never be too cautious."
"I advise you to inform Elder Xuan to keep a close eye on the evil soul master who may appear at any time in the dark. If possible, ask him to help solve the problem."
Wang Yan paused and said, "Yuhao, you have to go through hardships to grow. If Master Xuan has to do everything, then what's the point of your mission this time? But don't worry, if you really encounter danger, he will also help you."
“I hope so.” Huo Yuhao said calmly.
He always had a bad feeling in his heart.
boom--
A loud noise suddenly came from a cave under the hillside not far away, accompanied by strong soul power fluctuations and noisy sounds of fighting.
Wang Yan said, "It's our turn to go in."
Huo Yuhao followed behind him, maintaining the sharing of mental detection.
Wang Dong said at the side: "Yuhao, you have to trust Senior Sister Xiaotao and the others. They are the elites of the inner courtyard."
“Nothing is absolute. I have suffered a lot because of my arrogance.” Huo Yuhao said and walked into the cave.
As soon as they entered the cave, the strange and terrifying clear scene pierced into everyone's mind without reservation.
"Um..." Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao covered their mouths, their bodies began to tremble violently, trying hard not to vomit.
Wang Dong felt his mind go blank and he was shivering.
Beibei, Xu Sanshi and Cai's heads all buzzed at the same time.
Even the knowledgeable Wang Yan looked unhappy, but at least he remained sober.
Huo Yuhao's meticulous mental detection seemed to have become a shortcoming at this moment. Everyone could even clearly see the pores on each human skin. Compared with these human skins, the bodies of the bandits on the ground that were dealt with by the inner courtyard disciples were nothing.
Wang Yan shouted, "Cheer up, we are here to bring justice to these dead!"
The fear in the hearts of the few people quickly dissipated, and only anger remained in their eyes when they looked at the corpses of the bandits.
Huo Yuhao's expression remained indifferent, and his eyes emitted a faint blue light in the dark cave.
The terrain ahead suddenly became clear, and the reserve team finally saw the inner court disciples fighting against the large group of bandits. The different spirit rings shone brightly, dazzling in the cave.
The most conspicuous one was Ma Xiaotao. The blazing flames on her body erupted wildly and no one could stop her. Bandits kept falling down around her.
In addition to her, Yao Haoxuan, Chen Zifeng, Dai Huabin... were all fighting bravely.
Gong Yang Mo was surrounded in the middle, assisting everyone with his colorful halo.
Bandits continued to pour out from the depths of the cave and attacked the crowd, but they were no match for the inner court disciples and fell to the ground like corpses.
Looking at those bandits, Huo Yuhao was stunned.
There are spirit rings flashing behind almost all of them, which means they are all spirit masters!
The stronger ones have three or four rings, the weaker ones have two rings, and the three leading ones are even at the Soul King level.
This is completely different from what the intelligence said, there are almost no ordinary people among them!
Huo Yuhao’s eyes turned cold.
The level of these soul masters is naturally not good enough in front of the Shrek students, but it is already quite good in the Douluo Continent where most of the people are ordinary people.
How could an ordinary bandit group have such a scale and such strength?
“Sponsoring a terrorist organization, huh?” Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, “You are incredible, Sun Moon Empire.”
"Drink-"
Dai Yaoheng roared and tore a Soul King in front of him into pieces, blood splattering everywhere, and then used the White Tiger Meteor Shower to knock away several bandits.
Ma Xiaotao spread her phoenix wings and reaped the lives of the bandits.
Those Soul King warriors were all dealt with by the inner courtyard disciples, and the remaining two or three-ring minions posed no threat to the reserve team members. Bei Bei roared and rushed out.
Under his leadership, the reserve team also participated in the battle.
At this moment, a sharp and long howl sounded eerily from the depths of the cave: "Who dares to go against the messenger of death?"
"You are all going to die! I am going to turn you all into my corpse slaves!"
Chapter 126 Corpse Explosion
"Yuhao...what's so good about a corpse?"
Wang Dong asked shamefully as he looked at Huo Yuhao who was carrying the body of a bandit.
Huo Yuhao pulled at the clothes of the Death Bandit and said, "Let me see if there are any clues."
Wang Dong asked doubtfully, "Clues? We have already found the thieves, do we need any more clues?"
Huo Yuhao asked questions one after another: "Why did bandits come into being? Where are they from? Are they willing or forced? Why would a soul master become a bandit when they can live well anywhere? Have you ever thought about these?"
"No……"
Just when Huo Yuhao was trying to see if he could find any clues related to the Sun Moon Empire from the bodies of these bandits, a strange scream sounded from deep within the cave.
"How dare you go against the great messenger of death? Go to hell!"
Hearing the scream, the surviving bandits quickly retreated, scrambling to escape from here.
Huo Yuhao's usually cold eyes widened, revealing a hint of horror.
The corpse in his hand was swelling and turning red at an alarming speed. Not only the corpse in his hand, his mental detection found that the corpses of the bandits lying on the ground around him were also swelling, and a terrifying and dangerous aura was brewing rapidly.
"Back off!"
Huo Yuhao shouted loudly, which was rare for him. The crisis alert was directly shared into everyone’s mind.
He grabbed Wang Dong, who was closest to him, with his other hand, and without caring about politeness at this moment, he threw him behind him with force.
Boom boom boom boom——
Violent roars echoed throughout the cave, and blood and flesh flew everywhere in the horrific explosions.
Everyone immediately defended or dodged after Huo Yuhao's reminder. But the power of the corpse explosion was too strong, and the bones and flesh all turned into explosives. The stronger the corpse in front of them, the greater the power of the explosion.
The continuous explosions lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually subsiding, leaving a thick smell of blood and blood mist in the cave.
The power of the corpse explosion far exceeded the expectations of Shrek and his men. It was totally unimaginable that a bandit group consisting only of Soul Kings would have such a terrifyingly powerful skill.
When the explosion sounded, the sloppy old man who had been sitting on the top of the cave and drinking was stunned for a moment, then turned into a stream of light and went into the cave.
Old Xuan had been following everyone quietly, and when he felt that the strongest enemy in the cave was only a Five-Ring Soul King, he went outside to drink with peace of mind.
But I didn't expect that such a negligence would lead to a big mistake.
Wang Dong’s body was thrown out, far away from the center of the explosion, and was not harmed, but Huo Yuhao was holding a corpse in his hand.
"Huo Yuhao!"
Wang Dong quickly got up and shouted loudly.
"call--"
After a low exhalation, the blood mist slowly dissipated in the cold air.
Wang Dong saw Huo Yuhao's complete figure again in his worried eyes, and he couldn't help but feel extremely happy.
"I'm fine." Huo Yuhao said coldly.
At this moment, his body was covered with a piece of dazzling crystal diamond ice crystals. The hard ice armor protected him from facing a corpse explosion at close range without being hurt at all.
This is the second soul skill of the Ice Emperor's 400,000-year soul ring, Ice Emperor Body Protection.
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "As expected of an evil soul master, he is really hard to guard against."
He looked at the blackened flesh and blood on the ground. The flesh and blood left after the explosion actually contained a corrosive poison.
"I'm glad you're okay. How are the seniors?" Wang Dong quickly turned around to check on others.
The reserve team members were not in the center of the battlefield, there were not many corpses around, and the explosion effect they suffered was also small, so they were basically unharmed. But the inner courtyard disciples were miserable.
Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yuheng and Ling Luochen were blown away. Although they were vomiting blood, they were in good condition.
Chen Zifeng's right arm had disappeared, and he fell to the ground, screaming in agony as the poison eroded him. Gong Yangmo was not good at defense, and his entire body was covered in blood and he was unconscious. Xixi's back was also covered in blood, and she was trying hard to endure the pain.
As for Yao Haoxuan, half of his body was blown off and he died.
Everything happened so suddenly that no one would have thought that the originally overwhelming situation would turn into such a tragic situation in the blink of an eye.
"asshole!"
As Xuan Lao’s roar rang out, the entire cave began to tremble. A white light flashed, and all the poisonous blood evaporated and disappeared.
He made a pulling motion in the air with his right hand, and a figure was instantly pulled out of the cave.
It was a man covered in a black robe, thin and with unclear features. He had five soul rings behind him, three yellow and two purple. He was just a soul king. Obviously, he was the evil soul master leader of the Death Hand Bandits, the Death Messenger.
But it was such a Soul King who injured two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings' inner court disciples so badly.
At this time, Master Xuan was extremely sad and angry. Under his leadership, the Shrek disciples actually suffered such a tragedy.
Being targeted by Old Xuan, the Soul King had no ability to resist. When he was about to be captured, the only remaining half of Yao Haoxuan's body began to grow larger.
Old Xuan no longer cared about the evil soul master. He raised his hands, and a thick ball of light instantly enveloped Yao Haoxuan's body.
The fifth soul ring behind the Death Messenger flashed, turned into a wisp of smoke, and disappeared.
boom--
A loud roar was heard and Yao Haoxuan's body exploded, leaving no trace of his remains. However, this explosion was completely controlled by Master Xuan.
