He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to tell them that the Heavenly Soul Empire was backed by the Body Sect.
Moreover, after the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire learned of Xuan Zi's murderous rampage, fearing greater losses, he had already sought out the help of Poison Not Dead.
To facilitate Poison Not Dead's actions, they gave him this token.
After a brief secret voice exchange, Yan Shaozhe said, "Then we'll ask Sect Master Poison to wait for another two days, we will give you a response as soon as possible."
Having said that, he signaled to the people around him, "Let's go."
Seeing this, Poison Not Dead understood that Shrek Academy was determined to protect Xuan Zi at all costs.
To be honest, if he didn't feel a faint sense of crisis emanating from within Shrek Academy, he would have taken strong actions long ago.
But at this moment, he couldn't care about that any longer.
If he let them return to Shrek Academy, it would be very difficult for him to find another opportunity to strike.
"Martial Soul True Body!"
With a roar, his body swelled like a balloon.
In just a breath's time, he had turned into a giant over thirty meters tall, his body filled with granite-like muscles.
At the same time, he reached out with his huge hand to grab Xuan Zi.
"Not good!"
The color drained from everyone's faces upon seeing this.
But they couldn't just stand by and watch Xuan Zi get hurt, either.
Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo gritted their teeth and launched a joint attack on Poison Not Dead.
However, their efforts to the onlookers looked like futile attempts to shake a great tree.
With a mere wave of his hand, as if swatting flies, Poison Not Dead sent both of them flying.
The gap between them and level 98 was not just a matter of half a degree.
"You old monster, how dare you hurt my daughter!"
Elder Song's eyes burned with rage as he saw his daughter and son-in-law being struck down, and he launched a terrifying attack.
For a moment, countless green shadows, like blades, slashed towards Poison Not Dead, as if seeking to flay him with a thousand cuts.
"Haha, bring it on!"
Instead of being alarmed, Poison Not Dead let out a burst of laughter; he stood his ground and let the green blades strike his body, which produced a series of clinking sounds.
Yet not a single wound appeared on him.
The strength of his self martial soul after a Golden Second Awakening was formidable.
"Even Elder Song's full-strength attack can't inflict any damage on him, his defense is too strong!"
After witnessing all this, everyone's hearts sank.
They knew that aside from Xuan Zi, Elder Song was the strongest in attack power.
If even such a mighty figure was helpless, who else could stand against Poison Not Dead?
However, just when everyone was in shock, a divine light flashed in Poison Not Dead's eyes and he shouted, "I found you!"
With that, he swung his fist, large as a small house, at a spot in the air.
A loud thud resounded as his punch hit a solid object.
Elder Song's body fell from the void.
"Not good!"
A sense of dread filled the hearts of the onlookers; they knew that aside from his powerful attacks, Elder Song was also the fastest.
Nevertheless, even with such speed, he still couldn't evade Poison Not Dead's attack, how fearsome must this old fellow be?
"Elder Xuan! It's time for you to take action!"
Yan Shaozhe shouted at Xuan Zi beside him.
A skeletal camel is still bigger than a horse; the only one who could stop Poison Not Dead from his frenzied attack was Xuan Zi.
Xuan Zi nodded gravely, then activated his Gluttonous God Bull Martial Soul and recklessly charged at Poison Not Dead.
It must be said, his attack was effective.
Poison Not Dead had the courage to let Elder Song attack at will, but he did not dare to take Xuan Zi's attacks head-on.
Abandoning Elder Song, he focused on handling Xuan Zi. The others took the opportunity to rescue Elder Song.
"Don't worry about me anymore, Xuan Zi is also at the end of his rope; we can only repel the powerful enemy by working together!"
With Elder Zhuang's help, Elder Song's injuries significantly improved. But her face still bore a look of deep concern.
"Elder Song is right, only by working together can we have a chance to defeat Poison Not Dead!"
After saying this, Yan Shaozhe immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body, transforming into a majestic bird with a wingspan of over twenty meters.
He exuded a strong aura of Light.
At the same time, his ninth soul ring lit up instantly.
His powerful aura far surpassed that of other fighters at the same level.
Seeing this, Poison Not Dead laughed softly, "Ming Phoenix Douluo, truly living up to your reputation."
However, in the next moment, his gaze was drawn elsewhere.
Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, previously sent flying by him, had somehow already landed on the city walls of Shrek.
Both of them aimed a soul cannon, five meters thick, at Poison Not Dead.
This made Poison Not Dead feel a bit threatened.
Of course, it was just a bit of a threat, not fatal.
"A Rank 8 Fixed Installment Soul Guided Cannon, quite interesting,"
he chuckled, shaking his head, not taking Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er seriously.
"What if you add me to the mix?"
Xuan Zi had just been forced back by Poison Not Dead with a strike and now regrouped to return to the battle.
"You barely qualify as my opponent,"
Poison Not Dead said, looking at Xuan Zi seriously, "Let's make it a battle of life and death."
With those words, his eighth soul ring lit up.
The red halo that belongs only to 100,000-year Soul Rings was so dazzling.
Feast of Death!
His hands reached towards the sky as if he were a giant holding up the firmament.
Green streams of energy released from his body, converging above his head.
The crowd felt a chill run through their hearts as they sensed the terrifying aura bursting from the green light.
In comparison, whether it was Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er's soul cannon or Yan Shao Zhe's ninth soul skill that was in the making, they were insignificant.
"This is bad, his aura is too strong. If he completes this soul skill, it'll be a disaster for Shrek City!"
As the strongest among them, Xuan Zi was the first to feel a sense of horror.
In this attack, he sensed a frightening destructive power.
...
Elsewhere.
In Shrek City, countless people also noticed the abnormality outside Shrek City.
After all, the giant holding up the sky was too eye-catching.
"What kind of monster is that?"
"Am I seeing this right, is this guy planning to attack our Shrek?"
"Don't panic! With so many powerhouses in Shrek Academy, if he dares to cause trouble, isn't it the same as seeking death!"
"Exactly, exactly! Look at that large-headed Bright Phoenix, it signifies that our dean has taken action!"
Within the Academy, numerous students were not at all alarmed; instead, they were incredibly excited.
It didn't matter. The dean would take care of it.
...
In the dormitory.
Qin Xiao stood at the window, also observing the scene outside, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"If I'm not mistaken, that green giant must be Poison Not Dead, right?"
"It's quite similar to how it's described in the original story. Just one word, fierce!"
In Qin Xiao's heart, a few individuals from the era of the Unparalleled Tang Sect really caught his attention.
Poison Not Dead was one of them.
This green giant, not necessarily good, but not bad either, had his principles.
He'd rather die early than harm a child's life.
Compared to that, he was far more noble than the Tang God-King.
However, speaking of which...
"Taking advantage of the chaos today, maybe I can make a move?"
"If Shrek Academy falls into disarray and loses its position as the number one academy on Soul Land, the Tang God-King is bound to be frantic, right? He definitely won't have the leisure to pay attention to anything else..."
A bold idea suddenly sprang up in Qin Xiao's mind...
The next moment, his eyes turned pitch black, the darkness enveloping his entire pupils.
Eyes of Destruction activated!
A thread-like strand of destructive power, as thin as a hair, shot out from his eyes, slipping into the void.
After doing all this, Qin Xiao's face instantly turned pale. His whole body felt a wave of weakness, and he steadied himself by holding onto the windowsill.
Although the destructive power he released this time was still so fine, almost the same as what was attached to Meng Hongchen's soul tool, the content was worlds apart.
He believed that with his help, Poison Not Dead would definitely give everyone a surprise.
He stood at the window, hands braced against the sill, watching expectantly.
Meanwhile, outside Shrek City, Yan Shao Zhe, Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo, and Elder Lin had already completed their charging.
From every direction, they launched their most potent attacks on Poison Not Dead.
In contrast, Poison Not Dead was not outdone; he pushed forward with both hands, the mild glow of light scattering indiscriminately in all directions like a meteor shower.
The Feast of Death had officially begun!
