Abyssal creatures kept fleeing, but they found themselves still locked by spiritual power and simply couldn't shake it off…
Feeling inevitably angry…
"Damn it, has that human warrior gone mad? He keeps on chasing us relentlessly!"
"It's truly detestable. When have we ever suffered such humiliation? In my opinion, we should stop running. Let's join forces and deal with this guy. Such humans are excellent nourishment!"
"No, there are too many humans coming and going here. Once we start a battle, we'll inevitably expose ourselves, and then we'll have no choice but to leave Martial Soul City!"
"Hmph, so we leave, then we leave. We can always come back next time. After all, there's no shortage of humans; no need to fixate on this place!"
"But... the Soul Masters in other places are too weak. They hardly make any difference to enhancing our power. If we miss this opportunity, there may not be a next time!"
At these words, the expressions of the abyssal creatures suddenly became tense...
That's right, they are abyssal creatures, destined to become the rulers of this world!
How could they possibly bow to humans?!
Thus, they stopped in their tracks, staring with cold eyes toward the one approaching...
Meanwhile, Gu Rong, sensing that the others had stopped, grew more cautious...
He thought to himself, "These guys suddenly stopped. There must be a trick. I have to be careful!"
He also slowed down, advancing tentatively...
Finally, several men with unfriendly expressions appeared in his field of vision...
If one were to sense carefully, they would find not a trace of Soul Power within them…
The abyssal creatures also noticed the newcomer, and each spoke in an extremely chilling tone, "Are you the one who has been tracking us? Do you have a death wish?!"
"Originally, we didn't want to lay hands on you, but you, you're just too much!"
"Why waste words on this guy? Just kill him quickly and let him understand how fearsome we are!"
"Hehehe, I wonder how we should eat him after we kill him!"
These words made Gu Rong's eyebrows knot slightly…
Consuming one's own kind, this clearly wasn't something a normal Soul Master would say!
This only further confirmed his previous suspicions!
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be evil Soul Masters, right? Taking advantage of the Friendship Competition to cause chaos!" he said outright.
In an instant, the abyssal creatures were dumbstruck...
Evil Soul Masters?
What's that?
They had never heard of such a thing!
Thinking this, they replied in baffled tones, "Evil Soul Masters? We have no idea what you're talking about!"
Gu Rong pursed his lips, then said again, "Still not admitting it at this point? No matter. Next, I will personally verify your identities!"
These evil Soul Masters naturally wouldn't admit their identity voluntarily!
The best method was a direct confrontation—an exchange of blows would reveal the truth in an instant!
He took a deep breath and immediately released his Martial Soul...
Behind him, there emerged a Bone Dragon that towered dozens of meters tall, its form immensely terrifying...
The hollow and somber eyes were fixed firmly on the enemy ahead...
Of course, what was most shocking was the nine soul rings at his feet...
"Hiss, I didn't expect to be facing a Hyper Douluo. I thought he was just a Title Douluo; this is a bit tricky now," one mused.
"What does it matter if he's a Hyper Douluo or a Title Douluo? Under our united attack, both are nothing!"
"Everyone attack together, hurry up and kill this guy!!!"
Facing a Hyper Douluo, the abyssal creatures showed not the slightest fear in their eyes, but rather a bit of eagerness to try...
After all, they had joined forces to kill a Titled Douluo before!
A Hyper Douluo's strength was estimated to be not much different from theirs!
Gu Rong coldly watched, "Whether it's kill or be killed, that depends on your ability!!"
This place was also considered within Martial Soul City, so they couldn't use soul skills with high destructive power...
Although there were some restrictions, dealing with them shouldn't be a problem...
However, to his surprise, his opponent didn't release their Evil Martial Soul to launch a terrifying attack...
Instead, they charged straight at him, seemingly with the intention of engaging in close combat...
"Planning to fight hand-to-hand? Good, that saves me the trouble!!"
With that, he also stepped forward, swinging his fist without hesitation...
"Boom!!!"
When their fists collided, it was as if they were evenly matched...
A look of astonishment rarely seen on Gu Rong's face appeared as he exclaimed, "What??? To be able to withstand my attack, how is this possible!!"
Although he hadn't used a soul skill, the fact that the opponent could withstand a blow with their physical body meant they had to be above Soul Douluo level!
The abyssal creature on the other side spoke with a tone full of disdain, "Is this a Hyper Douluo? The physical body is indeed stronger than the one we killed before, but that's all there is to it!"
Following that, they increased their strength...
With such terrifying power, Gu Rong was forced to step back several paces...
His arm even felt a bit numb...
He glanced down at it and thought, "The power has increased, what kind of monster is this guy!!"
He had no idea that evil Soul Masters had started to focus on physical strength!
However, there was another even more worrying issue!
If this guy alone had such strength, it would be troublesome if the rest were the same!!
The other evil Soul Masters also saw Gu Rong's strength and didn't plan to hold back, launching their attacks in unison...
"Human, is this all the strength you have? Then become our food!!"
Facing enemies attacking from all directions, even Gu Rong as a Hyper Douluo had to defensively respond, completely falling into their rhythm...
"This won't do, if this continues, I might truly lose. I must use a soul skill, even if it will affect Martial Soul City!!"
Consequently, a soul skill beneath his feet began to shimmer...
A Bone Dragon's phantom appeared behind him once more, its countless spikes erupting from within, charging toward the abyssal creatures in front...
"Such a level of attack is meaningless to us abyssal creatures!!"
As expected, just like they said, those bone spikes couldn't even break their skin, failing to inflict any damage...
Gu Rong furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "No effect, huh? But they just mentioned something about abyssal creatures, could it be that they belong to a kind of soul beast??"
"If that's the case, then these guys are mostly hundred-thousand-year soul beasts transformed into human form, which would explain why their physical strength is so great!!"
After all, soul beasts naturally held an advantage in physical strength over Soul Masters...
