Chapter 45: Xuan Zi is angry, and the god of death escapes

Except for Dai Yueheng, who was closest to the pile of corpses, everyone in the main team or the reserve team.

None of them were directly harmed by the explosion of bones, muscles, blood and soul power caused by the corpse explosion technique.

However, except for the reserve team who were directly protected by the glass shield, the main team also suffered injuries of varying degrees due to the bloody mist of corpse poison raised by the explosion of the corpses.

At the first moment of the corpse explosion, although there was no help from mental detection, the members of the main team also tried their best to resist.

Ma Xiaotao's entire body was wrapped in golden-red phoenix flames. After consuming a large amount of soul power, the corpse poison blood mist was burned away the moment it came into contact with the phoenix flames, and could no longer cause any substantial damage.

Ling Luochen was similar. With the help of her ability to control ice, her entire body was wrapped in a layer of ice crystals, which effectively blocked most of the infiltration of the corpse poison and blood mist. However, her soul power was lower than Ma Xiaotao's.

Some of the weaker parts of the ice on Ling Luochen's body were corroded and penetrated by the corpse poison.

Xixi used lightning to protect herself and resisted some of the corpse poison, but even so, because of her martial soul and the direction of her training, she, who was agile and attacking, was also seriously affected by the corpse poison and was seriously injured.

Gong Yangmo and Chen Zifeng had no solution as they had no defensive soul skills and their own soul power was not suitable for resisting corpse poison.

They can only try their best to use their soul power to protect themselves, but simple soul power protection will also be eroded by the alien soul power in the corpse poison blood mist, and the leather armor distributed by the Shrek Supervisory Group is not fully sealed.

This means that those parts that are not protected by leather armor, such as joint gaps, or eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, have been eroded to varying degrees by the corpse poison and blood mist.

Gong Yang Mo was enduring the pain at this time, using his soul skills to alleviate the effects of the corpse poison for everyone.

However, the composition and nature of the corpse poison that everyone was infected with were extremely complex. The corpse poison nourished by the bones, muscles, blood and soul power of each corpse was subtly different.

Therefore, Gong Yang Mo could only temporarily delay the onset of the corpse poison and suppress its effectiveness, but could not completely eliminate it.

Even worse was Yao Haoxuan. As a giant, his martial soul was too large and his soul skills were more auxiliary and control-oriented. Therefore, when facing the overwhelming corpse poison and blood mist, his excessively large body size was his biggest flaw.

Almost all the skin on his body was dyed dark green by the blood mist of the corpse poison, and with the erosion of the corpse poison, he was in great pain.

The continuous explosions lasted for more than ten seconds. Although Dai Yueheng was second only to Ma Xiaotao in strength among the crowd, and the Evil-Eyed White Tiger's physical strength and defensive soul skills were quite good.

But even so, he couldn't completely absorb the power of the Corpse Explosion Technique, which was equivalent to the lethality of a Soul Saint.

At this time, the entrance to the passage that was originally blocked by Dai Yuheng had been mostly blown down by the terrifying power of the Corpse Explosion Technique, and due to the limitation of the size of the passage, the power of the Corpse Explosion Technique was bidirectional.

After experiencing the explosion of corpse explosion after being compressed by the environment of the passage, almost all the bandits who retreated into the passage were killed tragically.

As for Dai Yueheng who was originally blocking the entrance to the passage, his body had been torn to pieces amidst the horrific fluctuations of soul power and the flying blood and flesh.

Only Huo Yuhao could use the perspective of the Eye of Truth to roughly determine which ones were transformed by Dai Yueheng by observing the corpses that were infected by the alien soul power of the messenger of death and had not yet been activated.

"If we bring a defensive spirit master to block the door, the situation will be much better. Although the corpse explosion is extremely powerful, an elite spirit king who specializes in defense should be able to ensure that he will not die. At most, he will only be seriously injured."

'After all, some defensive spirit masters can also have abilities like invincible golden body, which are like cheats.'

From the very beginning, Huo Yuhao wanted to complain about the configuration of the starting team. They brought an auxiliary and control system who was responsible for sweet talk, and the comedian Yao Haoxuan whose strongest soul skill was his big mouth that could eat everything. They didn’t even bring a defensive soul master.

But it's hard to say. Maybe the inner courtyard disciple of the Soul Guidance Department who was kicked out of the regular team is a defensive soul master. And even if he is not, with the ability of soul guides, it is not impossible for him to play the role of a defensive soul master at a critical moment.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Outside the cave, Xuanzi, who was originally sitting on the top of the hill drinking and eating meat happily, felt the vibration and horrible sound under him, his eyes widened.

"Please don't let anything happen to you."

A figure flashed, and only some eaten chicken bones were left at the place where Xuanzi had been, proving what Xuanzi had done before.

It turned out that as the real leader of the team, Xuanzi should have been following everyone and protecting them in secret. After all, this mission was different from the usual missions of the inspection team.

The team that will be on the mission this time is the regular team and the reserve team selected by Shrek Academy for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition is not far away.

Whether from the perspective of the competition, Shrek Academy will not have time to select a more suitable team.

Or from the perspective of the academy, these fourteen people can be regarded as the most elite and core disciples of Shrek Academy in the past ten years.

If all these people were to die here, it would be a further blow to the Shrek Academy, which is already in a period of transition.

Moreover, this mission was even applied for personally by Xuan Zi, the deputy head of the Shrek Supervisory Group, because normally the main team and the reserve team have privileges, and at least the mission of the Shrek Supervisory Group can be postponed.

It’s just because Xuanzi feels that these elite disciples of Shrek Academy should not shirk their responsibilities.

Moreover, he did not think that a group of evil soul masters and bandits, which he perceived only had Soul King powerhouses, could pose much of a threat to his students.

But the messenger of death slapped Xuanzi hard in the face with facts. Who said that only people from your Shrek Academy can be invincible in the same level and fight across levels?

Who says that the most elite disciples in Shrek Academy can be compared with the evil soul masters among the orthodox soul masters who conform to the true direction of the world?

Even if their soul ring configuration is poor and their cultivation strength is low, evil soul masters can make use of the rules of the Douluo World and use the rules to unleash terrifying combat power.

But now, even if he regretted it, it was too late. Xuan Zi could only pray and hope that most of the students would be fine. Otherwise, he didn't know how to face the upcoming All Continent High-level Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. If the competition failed, would Shrek Academy's glory of ten thousand years and its consecutive victories be interrupted under his leadership? No! This kind of thing must not happen!

“Haha, what does the explosion of my corpse smell like? Even if it doesn’t kill you, the poison from the corpse will be enough to make you drink a pot of water.”

Inside the cave, the cold voice of the messenger of death came from deep within the collapsed cave.

"This Death Messenger is not very pure. How could it not be Hehehe, the villain died because of talking too much. Why not run away now?"

Huo Yuhao said to the people around him: "I have a premonition of danger. Let's retreat first."

Then, Huo Yuhao removed the glass shield immediately without caring whether others agreed or not, and ran to the back.

Wang Dong reacted the fastest and quickly caught up with Huo Yuhao, followed by Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian. Bei Bei also followed after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan looked at the members of the regular team in front of them with some hesitation, but still chose to follow Huo Yuhao.

Wang Yan didn't know what to say when he saw this situation. He looked at the regular team members in front who were troubled by the corpse poison, and the reserve team who had retreated to the rear. For a moment, he didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

Just an old roar quickly rescued Wang Yan.

"Bastard!" Along with a strong white light, the terrifying soul power and pressure swept over and filled the entire cave, instantly evaporating all the poisonous blood that was still retained in the environment and was corroding the cave.

Xuan Zi finally arrived, but the poisonous blood that had already penetrated into the bodies of the members of the main team was not so easy to remove.

Xuan Zi's old and sloppy figure appeared beside the main team. Seeing that only Dai Yuheng was missing, although the others were in poor condition at the moment, they were not fatal or disabled. A hint of relief flashed in Xuan Zi's eyes.

Fortunately, the main team and the reserve team did not suffer serious injuries. After a little recuperation, they should have no problem participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition again.

However, the eldest son of Duke Baihu and the captain of the regular team, Dai Yuheng, actually died here. How should he explain this to Duke Baihu?

Because although the power of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion is definitely not comparable to that of Shrek Academy, the White Tiger Duke has been on good terms with Shrek Academy for generations, and the status of its members is definitely different from that of ordinary students.

Therefore, the ensuing anger swept through Xuanzi's brain again. Xuanzi waved his hand, and then a terrifying suction force came out from his palm, and the entrance of the passage that was originally blocked by the collapsed rubble suddenly exploded.

A thin figure in a black robe was about to be sucked in front of Xuanzi.

"But how can I, the legendary soul king and the messenger of death, just sit there and wait to die?"

The bored Huo Yuhao was dubbing the scene in the back, and at the same time he was ready to activate the Glazed Shield again. After all, Xuan Zi had been unreliable for a long time.

Because at this time, the body parts of Dai Yuheng that were blown everywhere by the explosion expanded again, and the bones, muscles, blood and soul power in them reacted violently again under the stimulation of the messenger of death.

Xuan Zi was still a Super Douluo after all, and he quickly sensed the situation. Looking at the people on the regular team beside him, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he finally gave up on capturing the messenger of death.

A burst of white light emanated from Xuanzi's body and turned into a solid soul power barrier, protecting Xuanzi and the people behind him.

The body parts of Dai Yaoheng that were blown everywhere exploded under the effect of the Corpse Explosion Technique. With the blessing of his original Soul Emperor cultivation, the power of the corpse explosion was close to the level of Soul Douluo.

But just these words were not a threat to Xuanzi. The messenger of death took advantage of this opportunity and pressed a mechanism somewhere. Then he turned into a wisp of black smoke and floated underground.

Then a series of horrific explosions were heard in the hidden passage below the cave.

At this time, under the influence of two corpse explosions, the already shaky cave could no longer hold on and a large area collapsed.

Xuan Zi roared in rage, but looking at the helpless crowd, he finally waved his sleeves, used his soul power to control the fourteen people present, and flew quickly out of the cave.

At the same time, Xuan Zi also used his soul power to support the rubble and other debris in the cave, allowing it to remain stable temporarily. When everyone left the cave, the cave, which buried the sins of the messenger of death, collapsed completely due to the loss of support.

"Wang Yan, take good care of the wounded. I will not forgive that damn evil soul master!" Xuan Zi said angrily, and then he directly left several seriously injured students behind, flew into the air, and directly entered the state of martial soul possession.

As a Super Douluo, Xuan Zi's mental and soul power were no longer restrained, and they explored the surrounding rocks, plants and trees like a wave.

The weaker ones felt a lot of pressure under its influence, and Yao Haoxuan, who was seriously injured, vomited blood and passed out.

Huo Yuhao secretly shook his head in his heart. He was not very optimistic about whether Xuan Zi could catch the Messenger of Death, because he had just discovered through the Eye of Truth that the Messenger of Death seemed to have several soul guides that concealed his aura.

Moreover, the quality of the soul guide on the Death Messenger is not low, or it can be said that the soul guide on the Death Messenger is obviously specially customized.

The series of explosions in the underground tunnel were not caused by ordinary gunpowder, but rather explosives that are only used in the production of soul guides. After special processing, they can be directly ignited by soul power.

Coupled with the series of actions taken by the Death Messenger in the Mingdou Mountains and the border of the Xingluo Empire, it is not difficult to see that this person should be affiliated with the Holy Spirit Church, and he must have the support of the soul mentors of the Sun and Moon Empire behind him.

In this situation, Xuan Zi, who was so overwhelmed by anger that he didn't even deal with the seriously injured students first, would probably find it difficult to catch the messenger of death who was as slippery as a loach.

After all, these apparent members of the bandit gang are not the real trump cards of the Death Messenger, but just some small fry gathered together at random.

The messenger of death has twelve corpse slaves under his command. On the premise that he has a soul guide to conceal his own breath and soul power, he uses these twelve corpse slaves to cover his retreat and confuse the breath.

Even though Xuan Zi’s own soul power level is extraordinary, but as a tough and reckless man, Huo Yuhao thinks it would be difficult for him to catch this messenger of death who is just a Soul King.
