Chapter 1116 (2/2)

How could this happen!

”No, don't kill me!” A'Ruheng suddenly roared, and only then did he discover that he could speak again.

Sima Jinchi also roared with fury, ”This is senseless murder! You have no right to kill me; I'm a senior colonel of the Southern Legion!”

”Prepare and aim for their heads.” The soldiers completely ignored their desperate cries, and one of them raised his right hand high above his own head as if it were the scythe of the grim reaper.

The two soul cannons in the hands of the black mechas were clearly beginning to charge energy, and light was flas.h.i.+ng within the barrels.

A'Ruheng was filled with fury and indignation! Never did he think that he would be killed here under such inexplicable circ.u.mstances after suffering through so many years of torment to get to this point.

”Fire!”

The soldier abruptly brought down his right hand, and the soul cannons being wielded by the black mechas were fired at once. Two scintillating b.a.l.l.s of light were immediately sent hurtling toward A'Ruheng and Sima Jinchi's heads, and both of them were high explosive bombs that could even raze small mountains to the ground, let alone a pair of Soul Masters who had no access to their soul power.

An intense feeling of impending doom instantly spread through A'Ruheng and Sima Jinchi's bodies, and both of them let loose desperate roars in unison.

”Boom, boom!”

Two deafening explosions rang out as two b.a.l.l.s of light were instantly launched through the air.

A'Ruheng and Sima Jinchi's minds instantly went blank. Were they dead? Was this it?

They felt as if their souls had already drifted over to another world, and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably.

Right at this moment, a slightly enlarged voice suddenly rang out. ”Why is an execution taking place? Who are those two people?”

I can still hear? Does that mean I'm not dead?

The same thought appeared almost simultaneously in the minds of A'Ruheng and Sima Jinchi.

They reflexively opened their eyes and were greeted by the sight of a middle-aged man with general epaulets on his shoulders, standing in front of the soldiers with a stern expression.

”Legion Commander ordered for this execution to take place, Superior. It's very likely that these two are spies from the Holy Spirit Cult. They suddenly appeared at our legion base just as we were sealing the abyssal plane again, and they were detained by the legion commander. Legion Commander says that he'd rather kill innocents than risk being attacked by Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult again.”

”I'm not an Evil Soul Master!” A'Ruheng and Sima Jinchi yelled in unison.

”Oh?” The middle-aged man turned around, and Sima Jinchi and A'Ruheng were greeted by the sight of a handsome yet serious face. Neither of them had seen this man before, but they could detect an indescribable sense of pressure emanating from him. This sense of pressure was not inferior in the slightest to that of the legion commander who had just ordered for their execution.

They had been told some general information about the Blood G.o.d Legion before coming here, but the Blood G.o.d Legion was a top-secret organization of the federal, so even their teacher and superior didn't know much about the legion. As such, their knowledge of the Blood G.o.d Legion was also very limited. In a short span of time since coming here, they had already encountered two beings who were either Limit Douluos or extremely close to that level, so how could they not be astonished?

The middle-aged man's brows furrowed slightly. ”You say you're not Evil Soul Masters? How can you prove that?”

Everyone was the same; being presented with a ray of hope amid the depths of despair was enough to make anyone extremely vulnerable, even the likes of A'Ruheng and Sima Jinchi.

Sima Jinchi hurriedly yelled, ”I'm from the Southern Legion; you can confirm my ident.i.ty with His Majesty, Angel Douluo Yue Zhengen, who's the commander of the Southern Legion! I'm not a spy! I just partic.i.p.ated in the Star Battle Net Inter-federation Compet.i.tion not long ago, and I encountered your Golden Dragon King in the semifinals; I came here this time so I can spar with him!

A'Ruheng also chimed in, ”I'm Tang Wulin's senior disciple brother from the Body Sect, and I also came here to spar with him; how could I possibly be an Evil Soul Master? I've cultivated the secret method of the Body Sect; you can examine my powers to verify that! I'm definitely different from those Evil Soul Masters!”

The middle-aged man heaved a faint sigh as he looked at the two of them. ”The legion really has been a little oversensitive lately. Having said that, we can't just kill innocent people. I'll go speak to the legion commander about this; you guys hold off on executing them for now. I'll be back soon.”

The middle-aged man departed after that.

A'Ruheng and Sima Jinchi both heaved sighs of relief as they looked on at his departing figure. At the very least, they still had a chance at survival!

However, what they failed to see was that as soon as the middle-aged man turned away from them, a smile had already appeared on his face.

Sure enough, he went straight to Zhang Huanyun's office, and he strode in without even knocking on the door.

Zhang Huanyun raised his head to look at him, and he also wore a smile on his face. The images of A'Ruheng and Sima Jinchi being held captive outside were being depicted on the screen beside him.
