Volume 44, Chapter 601.3: Trap to Kill an Ultimate Douluo (1/2)

Ye Xishui drifted in mid-air and revealed a scornful look on her face. There were still ten blood souls surrounding her.

“The avenging spirits of two Class 9 soul engineers. Great stuff! However, soul engineers will only be soul engineers. The strength of their souls is still far from a true Titled Douluo. It’s a pity.” As she spoke, she shook her head and sighed. The soul engineers watching her were furious.

Ye Xishui coldly looked at Xu Tianran, “Continue attacking if you want to kill me. I’ll see how much you’re willing to sacrifice. It’s a pity that you might not succeed.” As she spoke, she started to descend.

She pressed her palm against the ground.

Strong bloody lights spread along the ground. Deafening booms started to echo throughout the entire imperial palace.

Xu Tianran and Kong Deming’s expressions changed. They knew what Ye Xishui wanted. She couldn’t overcome their aerial defense, and thus it was impossible for her to escape. However, even compression array soul tools couldn’t cover the ground. Although the ground defenses in the palace were still very impressive, they weren’t good enough. At least, they weren’t good enough to stop an Ultimate Douluo.

The ground shook. The ground beneath Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong also shook at the same time.

They were no longer in the store. They were on the streets. Just like many civilians, they saw the rainbow glow in the sky.

Of course, the civilians didn’t know what was happening. To them, it was very common for something like this to happen in the Sun Moon Empire. Soul tool technology was very widespread here.

Huo Yuhao furrowed his brow. From his perspective high up in the sky, he could see many things. However, his spiritual power couldn’t enter the barrier formed by the compression array soul tools. He could only see what was going on inside.

As the ground shook, he could roughly guess what Ye Xishui was doing. Yes, the ground might be her only route of escape. But had Xu Tianran really not prepared for this? It wasn’t impossible to unleash a protective soul barrier underground, although it wasted a lot of time. Furthermore, it would be very difficult to control. Could it resist an Ultimate Douluo?

Tang Wutong turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao. She asked, “Who do you hope will win this fight?”

“Xu Tianran.” Huo Yuhao answered without any hesitation.

Tang Wutong was astonished. “Aren’t you sympathetic of Elder Ye after listening to Long Xiaoyao’s story earlier?”

“I am,” Huo Yuhao replied, “but I’ll still wish for Ye Xishui to be killed. There’s no room for negotiation. Can you imagine it? What would happen if an enraged, evil Ultimate Douluo escapes? Even though I don’t like the Sun Moon Empire, I don’t wish to see any innocent civilians killed. That’s why Ye Xishui must die. If she really escapes, we must risk everything to kill her. Even though we’ll incur Elder Long’s wrath, we have to do so.”

Huo Yuhao was very hard-headed with his words. He didn’t hesitate at all.

Tang Wutong nodded silently and said, “The fight has been going on for some time. Why hasn’t anyone from the Holy Ghost Church come to assist Ye Xishui? Are they really so scared of death?”

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, “No. This must be Ye Xishui’s arrangement. It’s easier for one person to escape. If the Holy Ghost Church is here, can they resist four soul engineer legions? They’ll only send themselves to die. The Holy Ghost Church has suffered heavy losses recently. Ye Xishui must have had told them to leave first before she entered the palace herself. It’s a pity. Up until now, we still don’t know where their headquarters are. Otherwise, we could find many opportunities to make our move if we went over there now.”

At this moment, a beam of black light suddenly landed in front of Huo Yuhao. He raised his hand at grabbed at that beam of light.

It was a black piece of paper, with words in some kind of white pigment. When he saw the words on it, Huo Yuhao was astonished. He immediately held Tang Wutong’s hand and turned around before leaving.

Inside the palace, the ground only stopped shaking after a minute or so. A huge depression more than a hundred meters deep had appeared.

It was hollow beneath the palace. When Ye Xishui used her palm strike, an entire cave was immediately formed.
