As soon as the smoke and dust caused by the explosion, which could almost give a person a concussion, dispersed a little, the radar in Huo Yuhao's mind, who was used to seeing shell explosions, began to sound the alarm.
Is there something wrong with this explosion? !
Huo Yuhao used mental detection to look around and saw that the passers-by who were closest to him and Xiao Hongchen were lying on the ground one by one. Several of them seemed to have hit their heads on hard objects on the roadside. Holding his head and moaning with blood all over his head, he made a vague sound.
It seemed that the implicated passers-by had been knocked unconscious by the explosion, and blood could not stop flowing from the wounds on their heads.
The formation looked so terrifying. If Huo Yuhao had taken a step later, he might have been involved in the explosion, missing his arms and legs... In the end, it seemed that not even these mere passers-by were killed?
Xiao Hongchen pulled Huo Yuhao's arm away, activated his flying soul guide, and put a short distance away from Huo Yuhao.
"Don't panic, I have a tough wall and you have the protection of the mortal world. It's not a big problem."
Huo Yuhao didn't say anything, but shared his mental detection with Xiao Hongchen, while keeping some distance from the center of the explosion.
According to the experience of the original work, it is most likely that the desperate Dai Ershao sent people to intercept and kill him. There is a high probability that those people have set up ambushes in all directions. Under the current situation, if you run around in a panic, you may encounter someone, so it is better to observe. Make a decision later.
What's more, Xiao Hongchen was right. His partner with Xiao Hongchen was more than one level stronger than the blue and pink pair in the original work when they were attacked. Dai Laoer should only be able to mobilize the Soul Emperor at most. He had a tough wall on his side. With the protection of Hongchen, it is not impossible to fight through all the way...
Huo Yuhao's mind was racing rapidly, but just a few seconds after the explosion, the ground that was originally located near the center of the explosion suddenly collapsed like a tofu project, making a loud "bang" and collapsing toward the hollow underground.
From the huge black hole that had just collapsed and was mixed with mud, a man in black wearing a standard crime uniform flew out of it.
Under the black hood, a pair of extremely scary-looking eyes looked into the air.
"two?"
The voice of the man in black was filled with vague surprise; at the same time, the cave entrance collapsed like a jet, and several uninvited guests of unknown origin wearing the same black robes jumped out of it.
"It's the one on the left. Don't make the mistake again."
The first man in black warned in a low voice to his companion who passed by. The latter nodded slightly, then raised his eyes to face Huo Yuhao in mid-air with a strange-looking smile.
At the same time, a pair of wings spread out behind him, and the flying soul guide was being activated.
While summoning the soul power, the soul ring under the man was also revealed.
Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but change their expressions the moment they noticed the man's soul ring was revealed through mental detection.
One, two, three, four...a total of eight soul rings were displayed in succession!
Even skipping the step of making eye contact, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen made the decision to run away separately.
This was just one of those men in black who seemed to have come with bad intentions. Plus his companions, it was definitely not something that Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen could fight head-on.
Just as the two of them quickly changed directions and flew away, the rest of the group of uninvited guests also showed their soul rings - at least they were soul emperors! Contra made up two of them!
"This is the secret modification of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion that has been strengthened! It can't be Shrek who wants to kill me, right?"
Huo Yuhao flew away at full speed. The Ice Emperor in his mind was grabbing the collar of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and urging "Tianmeng, please do something useful." At the same time, Xiao Hongchen, who was about to leave the range of the spirit sharing communication with Huo Yuhao, was surprised to find—— It seemed that all the men in black were chasing Huo Yuhao uniformly, and not even one came to chase and attack him!
In a restaurant not far away, Dai Yueheng, Dai Huabin and Dures, who were dining at the wine table, heard an explosion nearby for the first time.
Just when they were in shock and doubt, within a few breaths, a fast figure flew from the direction of the explosion.
"Huo... Huo Yuhao?"
The soul master's eyesight was far superior to ordinary people, and the two Dai brothers recognized the person immediately.
As we all know, the sky above Shrek City is a no-fly zone. Why Huo Yuhao did such a taboo thing is because...
Before they could figure out what was going on, the two figures chasing the fastest behind Huo Yuhao came into their sight.
"Contra?!"
Dai Yueheng exclaimed, no matter which force made the move just now, sending strong men from the Eight Rings to chase important figures of the Sun and Moon Empire in Shrek City, this is too embarrassing.
Dai Huabin noticed that Huo Yuhao seemed to be in a very bad situation, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced in his heart, "You also have this day."
But the next moment, Dai Huabin felt that there seemed to be two strange eyes on him.
Those two looks came from the eldest brother and Mr. Du.
Du Leisi only found it incredible. He obviously summoned the second young master back not long after and kept him with him. He couldn't have let Dai Huabin go for such a short time and then revealed such a big trap, right?
Dai Yueheng said in an uneasy mood: "Hua Bin, this should...not be arranged by you, right?"
From the bottom of his heart, he felt that Dai Huabin should not care about the current situation. After all, it was impossible for the White Tiger Duke's Palace to get an eight-ring strongman to be ruined by Dai Huabin in Shrek.
But... the second brother said not long ago that as long as there were two Contras, he could definitely kill Huo Yuhao, but two eight-ring Contras with the best soul ring ratio suddenly appeared in the sky.
The coincidence was so bizarre that he couldn't help but think about it.
Dai Huabin could probably guess the mentality of his elder brother and Mr. Du, but he knew that he was really innocent this time!
It was true that he was racing against time to arrange for someone to attack Huo Yuhao... but the scheduled time to attack was tomorrow night!
Although as long as Huo Yuhao can be punished by justice, Dai Huabin actually doesn't care whether he did it himself...
Also, when did I have the ability to help me assassinate myself, why didn’t I know?
Dai Huabin felt dumbfounded, but he still said seriously:
"Brother, you know me well. If I had done it, it wouldn't have been in the city."
"This is a provocation to the college. No matter what I say, I will never cause such big trouble to the Duke's Palace."
After hearing this explanation, Dai Yueheng finally got some psychological comfort, and his tense mentality relaxed a little.
It's okay if it's not, the second brother will listen to Jin's advice after all.
However, Dures, who is more experienced and experienced, still can't let go: "I believe this was not arranged by you, the second young master... But I'm afraid that others won't believe it, and they insist on pouring dirty water on the marshal."
"Mr. Du, you are worrying too much, it won't happen..."
While Dai Huabin was still consoling himself, two beams of light flashed across the night sky. Although they were slender, they were so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes.
The beam of light hit the two men in black without any bias and had already narrowed the distance between them and Huo Yuhao to a very dangerous point.
The moment he saw the light beam flashing, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but let out a breath.
Zheng Zhan, who was following and protecting in the dark, finally took action. From the time of the explosion to the present, it didn't take long at all. Most of the passers-by who were still in panic didn't understand what happened.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough and ran away with Xiao Hongchen more decisively, Zheng Zhan's action would have been timely. Perhaps he would have had to ask for help from the four people in the sea of spirits who could put together a table of mahjong, and use some resources that should not have been used in Shrek City. Only by using various methods can he escape smoothly.
It is absolutely impossible to fight head-on. With a fourth-ring cultivation level against two eight-ring ones, I am afraid I can only guarantee escape without being possessed by Electrolux. The realm is too different.
The two Contras following Huo Yuhao could barely block the blow with the passive shields they carried, but their expressions now became extremely serious and shocked.
"Title Douluo?!"
This is different from the information in the intelligence. Doesn’t it mean that the person with the highest cultivation level in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy in Shrek City is just their leading teacher?
There is no way the teacher leading the team is a titled Douluo!
Accompanied by two soul-guiding rays with terrifying killing effects that directly shattered the two protective shields, the pressure of the Titled Douluo level rolled in.
Dai Huabin, who was still befriending the mysterious man who was chasing Huo Yuhao and chanting "blood will flow into a river" in his heart, now felt that his nerves were almost broken under the pressure from the titled Douluo.
There are quite a few titled Douluo in Shrek Academy, and almost all of them have a better understanding of soul masters than Zheng Zhan.
However, they have never released their naked malice so unabashedly in the academy and in front of the students.
"I hope that when you make a decision, you are also prepared to bear the consequences."
Zheng Zhan's figure appeared in the night sky, and the muzzles of the two soul-guided ray guns surrounding him had already appeared light balls indicating that they were about to be charged.
Huo Yuhao's speed did not slow down and he continued to fly in the direction of Zheng Zhan.
However, the two Contras following Huo Yuhao did not waste the time to retreat. They changed their original plan, each waved their sleeves, and the light balls flew forward densely, past Huo Yuhao's body, and appeared in front of his eyes. Expand.
When the light spheres all unfolded, Zheng Zhan's originally annoyed expression was filled with surprise and even panic.
That is a one-way barrier that has basically no output!
Moreover, judging only from their appearance and the aura emanating from the core array, the quality of these barriers is extremely high, at least as good as a level six soul guide.
Layers of barriers blocked Huo Yuhao's Zheng Zhan. Zheng Zhan immediately summoned a soul cannon that looked sinister and had twisted patterns engraved on its surface.
Dai Huabin, who was involved and hiding in the restaurant, felt as if his heart was suddenly tugged when he saw the soul cannon - this was the soul master's instinctive warning of danger.
The soul cannon that Zheng Zhan took out at this time was a real weapon of mass destruction - the kind that would definitely affect many people and cause diplomatic disputes if fired.
But in order to break through the barrier as quickly as possible, he really had no other choice. No matter how bad the consequences were, he had to wait until he saved Huo Yuhao first.
The next moment, behind the barrier, a ball of light unfolded with a dark golden light. This golden light spread out and covered a small space in an instant, directly wrapping Huo Yuhao into it.
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
A black-clothed Soul Douluo flew forward and caught the golden spherical barrier that had been formed. After saying this to Huo Yuhao, he and his companions pushed the golden barrier back to the cave entrance where they first appeared.
"Absolute defense soul guide?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of surprise. This group of uninvited guests had brought him too much shock in this short period of time.
Absolute defense soul guide, didn't this thing completely disappear after the first competition in the original work?
There are also those one-way defensive shields that look to be of extremely high quality. These things can only come from the Sun and Moon Empire. What kind of bastards smuggled them out?
Huo Yuhao had no time to think about those details. His only task now was to save himself.
"Have they never seen that I can even break the Star Guardian? Do they really think this thing can control me?"
While Huo Yuhao was doubtful, he took out the Life Watching Blade in his hand and poured his soul power into it.
"Beep..."
"Click..."
In the eyes of the two Contras with trembling pupils, a greenish-green fluorescence emerged from the shell of the absolute defense soul guide.
Immediately afterwards, with the first crack as the center, dense cracks quickly appeared on it.
With a "bang", Huo Yuhao's figure broke through the outer wall of the absolute defense soul guide, which was almost broken in seconds, unfolded his flying wings and continued running without any delay.
In the last competition, Huo Yuhao had to put in a lot of effort to cut through the Absolute Defense Soul Guidance Device; now, without considering the subsequent battle and pouring all his soul power into the Life Watch Blade, the Absolute Defense Soul Guidance Device could be broken for three seconds. The confinement cannot be maintained.
The absolute defense soul guide that was said to be able to maintain defense for fifteen minutes turned into a pile of fragments in the blink of an eye. Before the two Contras had time to accept the reality that was beyond their understanding, the heavy shields behind them fell under Zheng Zhan's The sound of continuous shattering under the full attack was transmitted to the ears.
"Damn, this idea is too tricky, let's get rid of it first!"
This group of men in black robes came unexpectedly and left with extraordinary decisiveness. The two Contras and the other men in black robes who were originally preparing to respond immediately turned around and flew toward the collapsed cave entrance.
There, two men in black robes were ready to evacuate.
This time it was Huo Yuhao whose pupils were shocked - he saw a huge drill with a diameter of two meters and a seat and tracks!
There were sinister red lines on the surface of the drill bit, and Huo Yuhao could recognize the core arrays they represented - these arrays were originally commonly used on fixed soul-guided artillery shells to enhance the ability to attack buildings and penetrate armor.
A man in black robes sat on the seat of the drill cart, driving the drill cart to rotate the huge drill bit into the hole.
The horrifying noise of the drill's operation resounded on the already chaotic streets, while the rest of the men in black robes followed the drill truck and flew into the hole like diving.
In the blink of an eye, these people had disappeared under the cover of the cave entrance.
Zheng Zhan came to Huo Yuhao's side, frowning at the cave entrance that had brought about a series of shocking events, and did not pursue him.
His first priority is still to ensure Huo Yuhao's safety, and others will have to worry about other things.
His decision should be considered correct to some extent, because just a few seconds later, a deafening roar and strong fire came from the entrance of the cave - this time it was no longer the shock bomb at the beginning, but a real The effect can only be triggered by explosive bombs.
Amidst the sounds of crying and wailing, Huo Yuhao, the others and the chaotic crowd watched helplessly as most of the street connected to the cave entrance collapsed amidst a series of explosions.
The civilians who were originally hiding in the buildings were now buried under heavy rubble.
Although Zheng Zhan's use of the heavy soul cannon caused some casualties, it was nothing compared to the ruins in front of him.
Xiao Hongchen, who was still floating in the air, was a little at a loss. Although he didn't have a good impression of Shrek City, he never thought that a city as tightly guarded as Shrek City would suffer such a terrorist attack.
It can be compared to the attack on Mingdetang that caused him to lose his 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo!
Huo Yuhao's eyes widened. He had already ruled out the White Tiger Duke's Palace as a suspect - they didn't have the capability.
But that drill truck... reminded Huo Yuhao of the scene when Mingdetang was attacked. But this is Shrek City. The Noumenon Sect wouldn't treat its quasi-ally like this, right?
In the restaurant, Dai Huabin and the other three stared dumbly at the ruins of most of the street in front of them and the dust that was still flying. Their open jaws did not close for a long time.
"This can't be the work of my White Tiger Duke... Absolutely not..." Dai Yueheng Nannan said.
Duresi nodded slowly and said with lingering fear: "And it can never be done by us, absolutely not!"
…………
Mingdu, a dormitory somewhere in the East Palace.
Xu Tianran was playing his map coloring game against the huge map hanging on the wall.
"Boom!"
"Enter."
Xu Tianran put the paintbrush in his hand back on the table and looked at the guard who entered the room after knocking on the door with a smile.
"Your Highness, urgent report from Shrek City."
Xu Tianran nodded slightly and took the secret letter sealed with fire paint from the guard.
"No need to leave yet."
After giving the instructions, Xu Tianran opened the secret letter and carefully read every word on it.
After a long time, Xu Tianran folded the secret letter repeatedly, pointed to a drawer on the table beside him and said:
"Pack up the letter and send it to Master Hongchen as quickly as possible."
The guard nodded in agreement, reframed the secret letter and hurriedly left the dormitory.
Xu Tianran pursed his lips, and a low, hoarse voice sounded behind him, and the figure that had been hidden in the shadows when the guard entered the room also resurfaced.
"Your Highness, is it done?"
"It depends on how you define success... Judging from the situation in Shrek City, it is obvious that they cannot fail anymore."
"So, from our perspective..."
Xu Tianran smiled and shook his head: "From our point of view, of course it is a success, even more successful than I expected!"
"Those bastards from the Noumenon Sect didn't get anything, and the losses were all borne by Shrek City. They deserved what happened to them. Huo Yuhao... Originally, he had planned to sell his losses to the Noumenon Sect, and then he could appease the mortal world. It seems that the preparations made by the hall master have been preserved now, which is very good. In the end, we still made a profit without losing anything."
The man in the shadow nodded slowly, but still spoke to advise:
"After all, it is a risky move. Since I have made enough profits this time, I hope your highness will stop in time. If you gamble for a long time, you will lose."
"Of course, do you think I am willing to mix with the tigers, leopards and wolves of the Noumenon Sect? There will be no next time if I am not in danger. I hope they have emptied all the loaded cannonballs. I don't want them to smash these things in the future. On Mingdu’s head.”
