Chapter 855: Immense Power (1/2)

After hurling his Golden Dragon Spear through the air, Tang Wulin immediately unleashed his Golden Dragon Takes Flight, taking him directly to the side of the giant skull before his right hand lashed out with devastating force.

Five dark golden claw projections that were each seven meters in length struck the giant skull with ferocious might, and a piercing screech rang out, followed by the sound of something being shattered. Green light erupted in all directions as green flames exploded violently.

Tang Wulin crossed his arms in front of him, and a golden light barrier appeared to envelop his body as he tumbled to the ground. At the same time, he waved his right hand through the air, and a streak of golden light returned to his grasp. It was none other than his Golden Dragon Spear, which had played a pivotal role in deciding this battle.

Even Purple One was completely flabbergasted, let alone the three other yellow agents on the team.

It had only taken Tang Wulin the span of a few breaths to shatter the skull that had caused them so much trouble. This was simply incredible!

”Run!” Tang Wulin roared, and everyone immediately returned to their senses. All of them began to rush out of the industrial area as quickly as they could.

Strangely enough, as soon as they emerged from the area, the fearsome pressure instantly disappeared, and no enemies rushed out to pursue them.

Purple One swiped his hand through the air, and the Tang Sect battle vehicle shot forth out of his storage ring. He leaped into the car first, and everyone hurriedly followed suit. He immediately put the pedal to the metal, and the car hurtled back the way they'd come like a bolt of lightning.

Within the industrial area.

A figure silently emerged in the distance. He appeared to be a middle-aged man in his forties, and there were seven soul rings shimmering around him, consisting of two yellows, two purples, and three blacks. He held an inky-black staff in his right hand, and on the tip of the staff was a ball of light formed by green light mist.

He currently wore a very dark expression on his face.

”I didn't think that they'd break my Demon Devouring Skull! The Tang Sect will most likely be deploying more people to this place soon, so we can't stay here for much longer. Gather up all of the vengeful spirits that you can; we have to get out of here.”

”Yes!” Countless skulls suddenly appeared around him, and all of them had green flames shimmering within their eye sockets, but they were far smaller than the massive skull that had just appeared. These smaller skulls quickly sped away in all directions.

The Tang Sect battle vehicle continued to race along at a high speed, and everyone's suits of battle armor vanished into their bodies amid flashes of light.

Yellow Four couldn't help but turn to Tang Wulin with a stunned expression. ”How did you do that, Yellow Three? That last attack was way too badass! I can't believe you smashed that skull like it was nothing! My god, you're the man!”

Tang Wulin replied, ”I'm not all that great; it's just that the skull isn't actually as powerful as all of you imagined it to be.”

Purple One had just finished issuing a report to the headquarters. All of their communication devices returned to normal as soon as they exited the industrial area. After hearing Tang Wulin's response, he couldn't help but turn around, and asked, ”Can you tell us what you did?”

Tang Wulin explained, ”When the sobbing first appeared, we didn't discover any people in the nearby area, which indicates that those sobs didn't come from any living beings. During our search, I constantly had this unsettled feeling in my heart, and I made a bold guess that these sobs came from the vengeful spirits of all those who had perished in the factories. According to the information we received, a major explosion has taken place in that industrial area in the past, and that has resulted in leakage of harmful substances, so a lot of people must've died during that incident.

”Those people died under unjust circ.u.mstances, so there's a chance that they could become vengeful spirits. Vengeful spirits should naturally disappear quite quickly, but they can perhaps be preserved by beings like evil Soul Masters. Hence, when we were unable to ascertain the source of the sobbing, I made an assumption that they came from vengeful spirits. The illusionary realm that was conjured up after that also most likely drew upon power from these vengeful spirits. Controlling vengeful spirits requires a vast amount of spiritual power, and we didn't know where our enemy was hiding, so if we wanted to escape, we'd have to break our enemy's control over these vengeful spirits first.
