Chapter 140: Wiped out by a Soul King? Hei Xuanzi is truly a waste!
[The video continues playing on the screen.]
At this moment, the Shrek Academy's regular team and reserve team have already penetrated deep into the cave.
[Ma Xiaotao, her body ablaze with malevolent flames, led the charge into the lair of the Grim Reaper.]
From her perspective, the approaching walking corpses and low-level evil spirit master guards were indeed easily defeated.
[Her casual wave of the phoenix flames could instantly reduce several enemy subordinates to ashes.]
"Too weak. A demonic spirit master of this level could be easily dealt with." Dai Yueheng followed closely behind, his White Tiger Vajra Transformation covering his arms in a thick golden light, each strike accompanied by the sound of bones shattering.
The selected team members cooperated seamlessly and advanced at an extremely fast pace, quickly eliminating most of the Grim Reaper's subordinates.
However, the Grim Reaper standing on the stone platform showed no sign of panic.
A strange, eerie smile curved his withered face.
"Since you want corpses, then I'll give you even more corpses!" the Death Messenger roared hoarsely, slamming his hands onto the ground. His fifth spirit ring erupted with a dark, purplish-black light at that moment.
"Not good! Retreat!" Huo Yuhao's mental detection detected an extremely terrifying energy collapse in that instant, and he issued a desperate warning.
But it was too late.
The dozens of corpses that Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng had killed and piled up at their feet instantly swelled into deep purple spheres, which then simultaneously exploded within the narrow cave.
["boom--!"]
The violent explosion unleashed a dark red toxic mist and corrosive flesh.
Yao Haoxuan, who was at the epicenter of the explosion, didn't even have time to scream before the force of the explosions involving several corpses tore his body apart, killing him instantly.
Chen Zifeng attempted to parry with his longsword, but the shockwave from the explosion struck his legs head-on. The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible, and he fell into a semi-conscious, crippled state due to the excruciating pain.
[Xi Xi and Gongyang Mo were slammed against the stone wall by the violent impact. Blood instantly stained their uniforms, and both of them, barely breathing, fell into a deep coma from their severe injuries.]
[Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, as the main force, withstood most of the damage with their powerful soul power, but at this moment, they also coughed up blood due to the backlash of their soul power, and their bodies were covered with wounds.]
[Only Ling Luochen, who was in charge of remote control, stood a little further back with Huo Yuhao and the other reserve team members, and luckily escaped the core area of the explosion. However, she was still thrown back dozens of meters by the shockwave, and her face turned pale.]
Upon witnessing this scene, the Soul Masters of the Underworld were all shocked, followed by overwhelming rage.
"What?"
"Yao Haoxuan is dead? Chen Zifeng is crippled? This is Shrek Academy's regular team!" A Soul Master from the underworld suddenly stood up and shouted, pointing at the sky.
"What did Xuanzi just say? He said he would protect us from the shadows, and that he would intervene if there was any danger!"
"But where are he? Where was he when the explosion happened? With an energy fluctuation of this scale, isn't the current situation dangerous enough?"
"A dignified level 98 Super Douluo led a team to hunt down a mere five-ring evil soul master, and it ended up like this?"
"Xuanzi's handling of this matter is truly ridiculous!"
Numerous voices of discussion arose continuously.
Countless Soul Masters found the outcome of this incident incomprehensible.
Many of them felt that things should never have turned out this way, but that's exactly what happened.
Therefore, many Soul Masters in the underworld no longer feel that Xuanzi's abilities are inferior to Bai Xuanzi's.
They have begun to question Xuanzi's abilities themselves.
This would not have happened if any other Title Douluo had been in this situation!
Even Xuanzi himself turned extremely pale after witnessing this scene.
He couldn't help but curse: "Damn it... is this Sky Screen deliberately trying to smear me?"
"How could I possibly do something so stupid!"
"That's impossible!"
[And at this moment, in the scene depicted on the celestial screen.]
The Grim Reaper looked at the scattered limbs and let out a maniacal laugh.
He raised his staff, preparing to deliver a final, fatal blow to the surviving Huo Yuhao and the others.
"Elder Xuan... Elder Xuan, save me!" Xiao Xiao cried out in despair, but there was no response from outside the cave.
At this critical moment, Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly changed from the gold of his spiritual eyes to a lifeless gray.
An aura that transcended social status, detached yet sacred, rose from his body.
"Holding the sun and moon in my hands, plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world." An aged yet majestic voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind. That was the power of Electrolux.
The grey light spread like ripples, and the once invincible Grim Reaper's soul defenses completely collapsed the moment they came into contact with it.
[Huo Yuhao merely raised his hand, and a gray order decree completely purified the Death Messenger, reducing it to nothingness.]
[...]
[Only after the battle was completely over and the aura of the Grim Reaper had completely disappeared did a rapid and heavy whooshing sound come from the cave entrance.]
[Xuanzi has finally appeared.]
He was still clutching the half-eaten chicken leg tightly in his hand, and his clothes were stained with alcohol.
The moment he saw the horrific scene inside the cave, he was struck dumb, the wine jug in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
"Xiao Tao... Yue Heng... Hao Xuan?" Xuan Zi's face was filled with shock and grief. He stumbled to Yao Hao Xuan's remains, knelt down, and let out a hysterical wail.
"How could this happen? I was just... why did it turn out like this!"
He looked up, his eyes filled with an unbelievable despair.
He never imagined this would happen, so he was equally unable to accept this reality.
However....
When the Soul Masters of the Dark World witnessed this scene, they felt a strong sense of nausea and disgust.
"You're only arriving now? Everyone's dead, and you think you can just come here, cry a couple of times, and that's it?" A young Soul Master spat angrily at the sky.
"He was all talk and no action just now, but he was completely useless in actual combat."
"Too late! Who is this belated grief for? If Bai Xuanzi were here, this would never have happened."
"This is the leader of the underworld. Selfish, arrogant, and negligent. Shrek Academy is doomed if it's handed over to someone like this."
Hei Xuanzi's face was now extremely pale.
He looked at his own reflection kneeling and wailing in the sky and felt a dizzying sensation as the world spun around him.
What he had hoped for as a moment of glory turned into a disgrace watched by the entire continent.
