Chapter 549: The "Death" of Yan Shaozhe and His Wife?
"Zhongli Wu!" Yan Shaozhe's face darkened instantly.
The powerful aura emanating from his opponent wasn't as overwhelming as his teacher at peak condition, but it definitely surpassed Elder Xuan.
Without a doubt, this man was the notorious Rank 98 Super Douluo, Zhongli Wu.
Moreover, the evil soul masters surrounding them were all exuding Titled Douluo level energy.
Even if he and Meier joined forces, they were no match for Zhongli Wu and with so many enemies present, their situation was dire.
However, this was also a perfect opportunity to wipe out Zhongli Wu's group.
As long as Elder Xuan arrived with reinforcements, they would undoubtedly crush these villains.
The problem was when would Elder Xuan arrive?
No matter what, the most crucial task now was to stall for time.
If they fought immediately, they wouldn't last long. A verbal distraction was the best bet.
Feigning composure, he looked at Zhongli Wu and smirked.
"Zhongli Wu, so you finally showed up. If you surrender now, I might consider sparing your life. Otherwise, you'll soon have nowhere to rest your corpse."
Beside him, Cai Meier remained calm.
After years of marriage, she immediately understood Yan Shaozhe's intention he was only stalling for time until Elder Xuan and the reinforcements arrived.
Zhongli Wu narrowed his eyes.
Yan Shaozhe's reaction was unexpected.
Was he truly confident in taking him down, or was this just a bluff?
No matter what, he couldn't be fooled. The truth would be revealed in battle.
His expression turned icy. "Yan Shaozhe, you've got a big mouth! In Shrek Academy, only Mu En has the right to speak to me like that!"
"As for you, 'Bright Phoenix Douluo' Yan Shaozhe… so what if your Bright Phoenix Martial Soul naturally suppresses dark type martial souls?
"In the face of absolute power, all suppression is meaningless!"
With that, he spread his arms wide.
Nine soul rings appeared beneath his feet six black, three red.
In an instant, the seventh red ring flared brighter than the rest, and a phantom shadow appeared behind him before merging into his body.
Boom!
Zhongli Wu's body expanded to ten meters tall, transforming into a massive, jet black demonic golem with a giant black scythe.
A chilling aura swept across the battlefield.
Martial Soul True Body Death God Golem!
Yan Shaozhe's expression stiffened.
The oppressive pressure radiating from Zhongli Wu made him uncomfortable.
His earlier plan to stall with words had failed he had no choice but to fight.
With a bright burst of golden flames, his body transformed into a radiant golden phoenix, his ninth soul ring shining brilliantly.
His wingspan extended to a hundred meters, and blazing golden flames surged forward like an unstoppable tidal wave, crashing toward Zhongli Wu's group.
The holy light energy within the Phoenix Flames made all the evil soul masters feel immense suppression.
However, Zhongli Wu, the strongest among them, was barely affected.
With one swing of his scythe, a massive black blade arc sliced through the air, colliding directly with the phoenix's flames.
Boom!
Dark energy exploded, snuffing out a large portion of the golden fire.
The once brilliantly glowing phoenix dimmed.
Yan Shaozhe's heart trembled.
Even though his martial soul naturally countered Zhongli Wu, the power gap between them was too large the suppression was not as effective as he had hoped.
For the sake of Shrek's Inspectors and the students' families, he had to hold on until Elder Xuan arrived!
The golden phoenix let out a piercing cry, and the remaining flames surged forward.
The dark energy was pushed back, and the black scythe aura flickered before vanishing entirely.
Zhongli Wu was slightly surprised, but he continued his attack swinging his giant scythe multiple times, sending several crescent shaped dark slashes toward the phoenix.
"Shaozhe, I'll help you!" Cai Meier rushed forward, a sharp spear appearing in her hands.
The evil soul masters wouldn't allow her to assist.
Immediately, several of them attacked her, forcing her into battle.
Zhongli Wu was not a fool.
He wouldn't let his pride prevent him from accepting help.
With his subordinates assisting, Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier were immediately overwhelmed.
Suddenly, a doubtful voice echoed in the air:
**"Master, we've already killed the students' families and Shrek's Inspectors… but we can't find the Saintess.
"Could she be hidden somewhere, or… was she never here to begin with?"**
Two figures materialized it was Mask Douluo and Ten Thousand Souls Douluo.
They had been carrying out Zhongli Wu's order killing the students' families while searching for Tang Ya.
After all, Zhongli Wu needed survivors to spread fear he wasn't slaughtering everyone.
Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier, battered and bleeding, felt their hearts sink.
Zhongli Wu's eyes narrowed as he ceased his attacks, motioning for his men to stop as well.
"Yan Shaozhe, Cai Meier…
"I swear upon the Sun Moon Empire
"If you tell me where the Saintess is, I will spare your lives."
Despite his convincing tone, Zhongli Wu had no intention of keeping his word.
To him, oaths meant nothing breaking them was second nature.
What was one more lie for a man who was already despised?
Yan Shaozhe snorted coldly.
"Zhongli Wu, you're dreaming!
**"No matter what happens, we won't reveal where Xiaoya is.
"And as for our lives, that's none of your concern."
Suddenly, golden flames erupted from their bodies, consuming them instantly.
Their figures vanished into the raging fire.
Zhongli Wu's eyes widened slightly.
He extended his spiritual sense, but felt nothing.
Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier's auras had completely disappeared.
Zhongli Wu was stunned.
Did they just… commit suicide together?
Were Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier… dead?
Something felt off.
