At the same time, the Soul Masters lurking in the shadows...
Seeing someone approaching, their eyes simultaneously fixed on the Soul Douluo warrior ahead...
"Captain, two figures have appeared in front," one of them said. "Shall we make a move?"
The Soul Douluo, after hearing this, replied in a low voice, "No rush, wait for them to get closer!"
As his voice fell, the other Soul Masters understood and suppressed their urge to act, silently waiting...
In this manner, Xu Sheng and his companion, pretending not to care, slowly advanced, getting closer and closer to them...
Their features were becoming discernible...
Seeing this, the Soul Douluo furrowed his brows, perplexedly stating, "Strange, these two don't seem to be our targets!"
They had specifically set an ambush here, but surely not for two complete strangers they didn't recognize!
The other Soul Masters were also confused. "Captain, do we still attack?"
After wasting so much time, to attack two unknown passersby truly seemed like a waste of time!
The Soul Douluo took a deep breath, still not planning to let them go...
He immediately ordered, "It doesn't matter, perhaps they have used some kind of soul skill to hide their appearance and body shape. All of you, go! Capture them all first!"
In an instant, the hundreds of Soul Masters lurking in the shadows, after releasing their Martial Souls, charged straight out...
After locking onto their target, they unleashed their deadliest moves without mercy!
Xu Sheng, seeing this, spoke calmly, "Blood Begonia's Command!"
As his Martial Soul materialized, the nine soul rings at his feet began to flicker...
His soul skill was also released immediately...
Around him and Gui Mei, a crimson barrier formed; all attacks that touched it disappeared without a trace, causing no disturbance whatsoever...
Seeing this scene, all the Soul Masters were stunned...
But they didn't stop their attacks...
The Soul Douluo warrior in the rear stared wide-eyed, shocked as he exclaimed, "Wha... What? A Titled Douluo Expert, indeed, this guy is disguised as a child!"
Elder Gui, intending to act, upon seeing such a rock-solid defense, praised without stinginess, "Xu Sheng, your soul skill is impressive, capable of withstanding the simultaneous attacks of so many people!"
Xu Sheng glanced at him and urged, "Elder Gui, instead of saying that, you might as well catch that Soul Douluo and properly interrogate him about his identity!"
He was quite curious, exactly which force would ambush them here!
It surely couldn't be the people from Martial Soul Hall, could it? That would be a major blunder!
Of course, Gui Mei had no reason to refuse. "Fine, I'll leave these small fry to you, I'll go capture the leader!"
Following that, he revealed a cruel smile and, moving at an alarmingly exaggerated speed, circumvented everyone and dashed straight towards the Soul Douluo in the rear!
The latter, seeing this, naturally would not just wait to be seized. "So you really dare to target me first, don't underestimate me too much!"
He immediately released his Martial Soul, and a gigantic golden lion phantom appeared behind him...
Seeing this, Gui Mei raised an eyebrow, "A golden lion? There doesn't seem to be anyone like this among the Soul Douluo warriors of the Martial Soul Hall. It seems that these people are not from Martial Soul Hall!"
"So, no need to hold back then!"
Having said this, he also released his own Martial Soul...
The opposing Soul Douluo was once again shocked, "Another... Another Title Douluo? And this terrifying pressure, it seems to reach the level of a Hyper Douluo!"
No, he must escape!
Otherwise, they would all be wiped out!
With this thought, the fifth soul ring at his feet lit up...
"Fifth Soul Skill, Lion Roar Gold Shattering!"
The golden lion behind him opened its gaping maw, emitting an ultrasonic attack that swept forward...
Gui Mei was full of contempt as he snorted, "Hmph, nothing but an insignificant skill!"
One of his soul rings lit up and he turned into a shadow state that could not be attacked, effortlessly passing through the attack...
Seeing this turn for the worse, the Soul Douluo didn't hesitate to turn around and try to escape...
A chill blue light appeared in Gui Mei's eyes, "Thinking of running away now? Too late!"
In the blink of an eye, he caught up with his opponent, engaging in a tangled fight...
On Xu Sheng's side, after enduring several rounds of attacks, the crimson barrier had also dimmed a little...
Noticing this, the attacking Soul Masters seemingly discovered some secret...
"Everyone hold on, this barrier won't last much longer, it's about to break!"
"Even if he is a Titled Douluo, facing so many of us, he can't hope to remain unscathed!"
"Everyone, give it your all! Just break through the barrier, and that guy is done for!"
"That's right, I just got a clear look at his Martial Soul, it seems to be of the plant system, which gives us an absolute advantage!"
"The thought of being able to kill a Titled Douluo level expert is getting my blood pumping!"
Setting talent aside, plant-class Martial Souls are mostly considered the lowest of the low in the realm of Martial Souls!
This was the source of their confidence!
Hearing these words, Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "You seem to have a very narrow understanding of plant-class Martial Souls!"
He hadn't expected that suppressing his Soul Power aura and using Nine-Hearted Begonia would give his opponents such an illusion...
One of the stronger Soul Sages retorted coldly, "Hmph, you're only capable of talking big. Once we break through the barrier, your life is as good as gone!"
The credit for killing a Titled Douluo expert would be enough to greatly elevate his own status!
Xu Sheng's expression became slightly more serious, "If that is the case, then I'll just have to entertain you all for a bit!"
The first soul ring at his feet lit up...
Bloody Begonia Blossom!
Instantly, dozens of thick vines burst from the ground, the Nine-Hearted Begonia at their tops emitting a dangerous red glow...
Then, as if naturally falling off, the petals slowly floated towards the front...
The opposing Soul Masters were first taken aback, then burst into raucous laughter...
"Hahahaha, daring to use such a disgraceful soul skill, is this guy really a Titled Douluo?"
"Such a level of attack, a six or seven-year-old child could block it with ease, right?"
"I'll just stand here and not move. Can these petals even scratch my skin?"
"Don't be ridiculous, we have Soul Power to protect our bodies. This thing couldn't even scratch us, let alone break upon touch!"
The leading Soul Sage stretched out a finger in disdain to touch the blood-colored petal...
Without any hesitation, his skin was sliced open in an instant, blood gushing out unstoppably...
Realizing what was happening, he immediately shouted, "Bad news, everyone defend!"
However, it was already too late...
Behind him came the agonized screams of those who were beyond human help...
"What... what is this? It effortlessly breached my defense, no... no!"
"Aaaah, these petals are draining my blood, get off, get off me!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, get out of my body right now!"
