Chapter 58 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
The footsteps approached hurriedly. Nana ran to his side, looked at the mess on the ground, and murmured:
"Is it... over?" Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly lowered her head, covered her face with her hands, and her shoulders began to tremble violently.
"Dad...Mom...I..."
Suddenly, a pair of warm hands gently rested on her shoulders.
She opened her tear-filled eyes and met Ye Chenxing's ruby-like eyes. Those eyes gleamed slightly in the dim hall, causing her to momentarily lose herself, staring blankly, even forgetting to cry.
"Wake up," Ye Chenxing's voice pulled her back to reality, "It's too early to get sentimental now."
Nana snapped back to reality and followed Ye Chenxing's serious gaze. She heard him speak loudly, his tone laced with sarcasm:
"Gentlemen, your subordinates have already pleaded for help, yet you still hide and refuse to intervene? You evil spirit masters are truly heartless."
"snort."
A cold snort came from the darkness. Immediately afterward, a beast soul pounced out of the shadows without warning, heading straight for the two. Ye Chenxing grabbed Nana, and with a light tap of his toes, retreated to a distance.
"I never expected this, what a small world." Ye Chenxing looked into the shadows. "It turns out it's the two of you who came this time."
In the darkness, two old men slowly walked out. The two men looked exactly like Zhong Liren, who had died under Ye Chenxing's sword.
They were the eldest and second eldest of the three Zhongli brothers, Zhongli Tian and Zhongli Di.
"I never expected... I really never expected that you were hiding this better than anyone else." Zhong Litian's gaze suddenly sharpened, his hoarse voice filled with disbelief.
"Your Sun Martial Soul is actually a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul!" Zhong Lidi's expression was gloomy.
In the eyes of evil spirit masters, the six-winged angel martial spirit is far more terrifying than the ultimate light. The ultimate light's restraint is merely at the attribute level, like water and fire being incompatible; but the six-winged angel is different. Its divine attribute is a nightmare for all evil spirit masters from the start.
"What, are you scared?" Ye Chenxing looked at him calmly.
Zhong Lidi, enraged, laughed coldly, his laughter as mournful as the hooting of an owl: "Hahahaha! That's right, I'm afraid! No one in the Holy Sect is unafraid of your Martial Soul. But now I'm more relieved than anything else, relieved that you, the legendary Six-Winged Angel, will perish at my hands today!"
"Brother, don't make a move yet!" Zhong Lidi suddenly reached out to stop him.
He stared intently at Ye Chenxing and said coldly, "Boy, I'm asking you, how is my brother? Even if you are a six-winged angel with only two rings, you still have no chance of defeating him." No matter how strong the attribute advantage was, he simply did not believe that Ye Chenxing could cross sixty levels and kill Zhong Liren.
"Want to know?" Ye Chenxing's lips curled slightly. "I'll personally take you to see him."
Zhong Lidi's pupils suddenly contracted; he instantly understood the meaning behind the other person's words.
The third brother is dead!
Despite having already prepared for the worst, when the boy confirmed the result, Zhong Lidi's last shred of rationality was instantly consumed by overwhelming violence and rage.
"You little beast, die!!!"
Zhong Li let out a superhuman roar, and with a backhand gesture, a skull scepter with a huge gray gem embedded in its top appeared in his palm. This was his natal level eight soul tool, which he used to imprison and control beast souls!
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black! A full eight perfectly matched spirit rings rose up from beneath his feet with a thunderous roar. The terrifying pressure of an eight-ringed evil spirit douluo spread out like a tsunami, and the temperature in the entire stronghold hall instantly plummeted to freezing point.
His right hand, gripping the staff, was first covered with a layer of fine gray scales. These scales spread rapidly like living worms, instantly covering every inch of his skin, even transforming his face into a ferocious beast-like form. The gray light on the staff intensified, and the gem at the top of the staff suddenly emitted an eerie, blood-red luster.
Accompanied by an extremely shrill shriek, several enormous blood-red beast souls struggled and surged out of the scepter, carrying a nauseating stench of blood, and transformed into a sky full of blood shadows that rushed straight towards Ye Chenxing!
This time is different from before. During the last ambush in Jingyang Mountains, they did not bring their own level-eight soul tools and many beast souls to avoid exposing their identities. But now, in the Holy Spirit Cult's own stronghold, they have no more scruples.
The Holy Spirit Cult sent Nana, a holy servant, to approach and monitor Ye Chenxing, allowing the two brothers to remain hidden in the Mingdu stronghold. As long as the undercover agents brought news of Ye Chenxing's movements, they would stop at nothing to intercept and kill him.
Nana realized that the other party was a Soul Douluo, and without thinking any further, she instantly released her martial soul and flew to block Ye Chenxing's path.
Even though Ye Chenxing had just swiftly and decisively slain two Evil Soul Emperors, she absolutely did not believe he could defeat the Soul Douluo-level expert before her. Moreover, the opponent's elder brother hadn't even made a move yet, and his cultivation was at least above Soul Douluo level. She knew she probably wouldn't be able to escape today.
But she still wanted to fight for Ye Chenxing's life, after all, it was her fault for misinformation that had dragged him into this desperate situation. Moreover, she saw hope in this boy who was a few years younger than her—not only hope of saving her parents, but also hope of destroying the Holy Spirit Cult.
"Run!"
Just then, an arm suddenly wrapped around her waist from behind. Nana turned around and saw Ye Chenxing holding her as they flew into the air and retreated rapidly.
"What are you doing! The two of us together only..."
"Put your martial spirit away, I'm afraid it will affect you."
Faced with the oncoming crimson beast souls, Ye Chenxing remained calm and simply said this to Nana.
spread?
Before Nana could react, her eyes were instantly filled with golden light.
Centered on Ye Chenxing, golden halos appeared out of thin air, one after another, silently blooming around him. The halos expanded rapidly, densely packed, almost filling the entire room, illuminating the originally gloomy space as if a divine kingdom had descended.
I was completely stunned by this golden scene.
The next moment, she saw something slowly emerging from within the golden halos floating in the air, like doors to another world, slowly opening with a sacred and irresistible force. Each halo was a door, and behind each door peeked out a breathtakingly sharp light.
Nana couldn't see it clearly yet, but the Zhong brothers could see it very clearly.
That's a soul tool.
Countless soul tools!
Soul-guided devices extended from the golden gate, layer upon layer, arrayed in a solemn formation.
Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Level 6... Soul-guided rays, shockwaves, paralysis rays, ice rays, scorching rays—hundreds and thousands of soul-guided weapons, some familiar and some unfamiliar, emerged from the light circle, all locking onto one direction—the location of the two of them.
What... what kind of method is this?!
Zhong Li gritted his teeth and quickly made a judgment: these soul tools were still mostly low-level. Even if he could withstand this round of volleys, his beast soul would be injured, but Ye Chenxing would definitely be severely injured as well. With this in mind, he not only did not retreat, but instead continued to launch a strong attack.
"Second brother, quickly retrieve the beast soul!!!"
Zhongli Tian's sharp shout suddenly rang out; he realized something was wrong.
But it was too late.
The golden doors instantly closed in unison, their halos transforming into streams of light that merged into every soul tool. In that instant, a sacred aura of light surged forth like a tidal wave, pouring into every cannon muzzle and every inch of blade.
The next moment, a barrage of attacks poured down like a torrential rain.
