The Vast Sea Dragon Horse Martial Soul True Body let out a loud dragon roar that shook the sky. Sea Horse Douluo raised his fist very high. It looked like he was gathering the power of the whole ocean into this one single attack.
Next, a huge amount of deep blue spirit power began to compress and shrink very quickly. It formed a scary blue energy ball that was more than ten meters wide right in front of Sea Horse Douluo. Inside the ball, it looked like stars were spinning and waves were roaring. Small bolts of lightning danced on the outside, showing that it had enough power to destroy everything.
In the next moment, Sea Horse Douluo punched his fist forward.
That huge blue energy ball flew out like a giant rock falling from the high sky. It was like a meteor carrying the angry waves of the whole ocean. It wanted to clean away all evil things. The ball left a long trail of deep blue fire behind it as it flew through the air faster than the speed of sound. It made a very loud noise as it rushed toward Tang San below. Tang San was still hidden inside his Dark Blue Silver True Body.
This punch was not just a simple blast of energy. It held all of Sea Horse Douluo's deep understanding of the ocean's great power. The name Comet Sea Meteor Sunset Fist meant that it had the scary force of a falling comet, the fast speed of a meteor, and the endless power of the vast sea.
Before the punch even reached them, the heavy pressure came down from the sky.
This pressure made the Dark Blue Silver Grass around Tang San shake very hard. The vines made creaking sounds like they were going to break from the heavy weight. Even the dark light on the outside of Tang San's true body became a little bit dim.
Down on the ground, the dirt even sank down because of the invisible wind coming from the heavy punch.
Sea Horse Douluo Ou Ya was using his scary Eighth Spirit Ability called the Comet Sea Meteor Sunset Fist. It carried the wild tides of the sea. Facing this attack, a strange purple and black light shone in Tang San's eyes. He did not run away. Instead, the desire to destroy things inside his bones became fully alive. This feeling was much stronger now because he had obtained the Rakshasa Divine Power.
"You are just a Titled Douluo. Today, I will show you what true power really looks like."
Tang San made a low growling sound. Under his feet, his black eighth spirit ring suddenly shone with a deep, dark, and evil light. This ring came from an eighty thousand year old evil Spirit Beast called the Soul Devouring Demon Vine King.
"Eighth Spirit Ability, Demon Vine Soul Devour."
The Dark Blue Silver True Body behind Tang San grew bigger very quickly. The many strands of Dark Blue Silver Grass changed. They were not just normal vines anymore. The tips of the vines split open and turned into ugly, giant mouths. These mouths were full of sharp teeth and had sticky dark energy dripping from them. They looked like they could swallow human souls.
Then, all the mouths of the Dark Blue Silver Grass pointed at the blue energy comet coming from the sky. They all spat out a large stream of purple and black energy at the same time. This energy was squeezed together very tightly until it looked like thick liquid darkness. The edges of the stream were so sharp that they tore the air apart.
This dark stream did not fly in a straight line. It spun around and twisted quickly in the air. It formed a dark whirlpool that kept shrinking inward. It looked like it wanted to pull everything into nothingness.
A scary pulling force came out from the middle of the whirlpool. It was so strong that even the light around it became twisted.
This was the evil Spirit Ability that the Soul Devouring Demon Vine King had given to Tang San. It could do two things. It could swallow the energy of an enemy's attack, and it could also hurt the enemy's soul. It wanted to drag everything into a quiet place of death.
At almost the same time, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun knew they had to help. They knew that if Tang San lost, they would be defeated next. So, they both used their strong attacks too.
"Sixth Spirit Ability, White Tiger Annihilation Kill."
The Evil Eyes White Tiger behind Dai Mubai let out a loud roar. It crossed its big claws over its chest. A large amount of wild spirit power and angry energy squeezed together tightly. It turned into a dark gold blade shaped like a cross. The edges of the blade had small dark gold cracks that showed it could destroy anything. This attack was used later, but it flew very fast and struck first. It slashed hard into the side of the deep blue comet.
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike."
At the same moment, the Evil Fire Phoenix behind Ma Hongjun spread its wings in anger. All of its hot flames instantly gathered at the tip of its mouth. Then, the flames turned into a thin ray of fire that looked like a needle. It burned with a deep dark purple evil fire. It looked like it could pierce through hard metal, solid rocks, and even human souls. With a sharp whistling sound, it stabbed straight into the middle of the deep blue comet.
In an instant, high up in the sky, three strong Spirit Abilities containing evil, anger, and destruction came together. They came from three different directions and crashed right into Sea Horse Douluo's Comet Sea Meteor Sunset Fist.
A very loud explosion happened over Purple Pearl Island. The noise was too loud for words.
Right away, four types of energy with different features but equal strength hit each other. They fought and destroyed one another like four wild beasts that nobody could control.
The dark whirlpool tried hard to swallow and burn the energy of the blue comet. It made a scary sizzling sound. But the endless power of the sea inside the comet also kept hitting back. It tried to clean away the darkness.
The White Tiger Annihilation Kill cut into the side of the comet. It exploded into very bright gold and blue light. It tried to break the structure inside the energy ball. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike acted like a very sharp, poisonous needle. It tried to poke into the main parts of the comet's energy to make the whole thing fall apart.
In the middle of this big explosion, the air twisted violently. It made a short and dangerous area of messy energy. Many tiny cracks in space appeared and disappeared quickly.
The wild movement of energy was like a big storm. It blew hard in all directions.
Below the fight, the broken Gray Shell Village was damaged even more. The burning ruins were blown away completely and crushed by the storm of energy. The ground was cut into deeper and wider holes. Even the far away sea surface was hit by the shockwave, making very tall waves.
In the next second, Tang San's face changed a little bit. The strong force of the explosion pushed him back several steps. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun made painful sounds. The blood inside their bodies felt uneasy. The shapes of the Evil Eyes White Tiger and the Evil Fire Phoenix behind them became much dimmer than before.
Even the Vast Sea Dragon Horse Martial Soul True Body used by Sea Horse Douluo Ou Ya shook. Its deep blue light flickered quickly. Its large body moved unsteadily in the air, and the dragon head made a low sound of pain and anger.
He did not expect that his best Eighth Spirit Ability would be stopped like this. Most of its power was wiped out by the three young men working together. Although his attack was not totally defeated, it failed to hurt Tang San badly like he wanted.
Seeing this, Ou Ya felt a cold fear in his heart. The strength and teamwork of these three young men were much higher than he had guessed. Especially the blue haired youth's evil Spirit Ability. It had features that could stop and swallow water energy. Also, the power of the White Tiger and Phoenix attacks was very strong too.
"You evil people really have some skills. But you cannot behave badly in front of me just by yourself. Try another attack."
Ou Ya made himself steady again. The energy of the Dragon Horse Martial Soul True Body rose up once more. The desire to kill in his eyes became even stronger.
He saw that the three young men had barely stopped his Eighth Spirit Ability using strange and evil ways. Because of this, the desire to kill them and the rush in Sea Horse Douluo Ou Ya's heart grew much bigger. He did not hold back anymore. He wanted to crush and kill these three people right now.
Next, the Vast Sea Dragon Horse Martial Soul True Body roared at the sky. The black Ninth spirit ring under his feet suddenly shone with a very bright black light. Instantly, spirit power as huge as the ocean rushed into his true body. The air around him seemed to be filled with endless water elements.
"Ninth Spirit Skill, Sky Shattering Dragon Tornado Annihilation Fist."
At this moment, Ou Ya's loud voice rang through the sky like the anger of the Sea God.
The Vast Sea Dragon Horse stayed high in the air. Sea Horse Douluo raised his fist up again. But this time, he did not just make a simple energy ball. He gathered the water elements from the entire ocean.
Right away, with the Dragon Horse Martial Soul True Body in the center, a deep blue water tornado appeared out of nothing. It was more than a hundred meters wide and connected the ground to the sky. Inside the tornado, lightning moved around and waves made loud noises. It seemed to hold the most dangerous power of the ocean.
In the next moment, that fist came down. It was covered by the scary tornado and destructive energy. It looked like a falling pillar from the sky or a giant hammer of punishment. It carried the power to destroy all things as it slammed down toward Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun. The three of them had just stood steady again.
The power of this strike was much greater than the previous Eighth Spirit Ability.
Before the fist even hit the ground, the earth of the Gray Shell Village area moved up and down like water waves, and then it broke apart completely. The air was pushed away, making an empty space. The heavy pressure made Tang San's Martial Soul True Body make cracking noises, and his movements became very slow.
"This pressure is so strong. It really is the Ninth Spirit Skill of a Titled Douluo."
Tang San's face changed a little bit. The purple and black light in his eyes shone quickly. The Rakshasa Divine Power inside his body moved fast as he tried to use his Spirit Ability to fight back. But he felt a sense of weakness.
Behind him, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun looked very pale. Under this heavy pressure, even moving their spirit power became very hard to do.
However, at that exact moment, a blurry shape appeared behind the three of them out of nowhere. It looked like it was made from dark shadows and evil things. It was a woman holding a large, ugly scythe.
The black shape did not move to attack. She just waved the giant scythe lightly toward Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun.
There was no loud noise and no blast of energy. Like an eraser rubbing out marks on paper, or scissors cutting a picture, wherever the scythe went, a strange purple and black ripple appeared in the air.
Then, at the exact moment when Ou Ya's Ninth Spirit Skill was about to hit them, something strange happened.
The bodies of Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun disappeared into the air like bubbles. The evil energy they had faded away without any warning. Only a twisted purple and black space ripple was left behind, and it closed up very fast.
"What is this?"
Seeing this happen, Ou Ya was shocked. This sudden event was something he could not understand. Was it space moving? Or was it some higher power helping them?
However, his full power Ninth Spirit Skill could not be stopped now.
The Sky Shattering Dragon Tornado Annihilation Fist lost its targets. It hit the ground of Gray Shell Village very hard. The village was already ruined before.
With a very loud noise, a huge burnt hole appeared. It was more than a hundred meters wide and many meters deep. The dirt at the edge of the hole turned into shiny glass. Seawater rushed inside, making sizzling sounds as thick smoke and steam rose into the sky.
Then, a scary shockwave blew across the island again. Even the far away sea rose up, creating a wave that was several meters high.
When the dust cleared a little bit, Ou Ya's Dragon Horse Martial Soul True Body stayed in the air above the giant hole. His deep blue eyes were full of shock, anger, and a little bit of fear. He looked around him. He sent his mind power out like water, but he could not find any trace of Tang San and his friends. Even that strange black shape had gone away completely, as if she was never there.
"Moving through space? Could this be the work of a God?"
Ou Ya's heart felt very messy. Was there a scary god helping them from behind? Clearly, these three young men were not just ordinary Evil Soul Masters.
But right now, he did not have time to look into this matter. At the edge of the giant hole, Purple Pearl's life force was fading fast. A few fishermen who were still alive were hurt badly and remained unconscious. Their breath was very weak, like candles in the wind.
Ou Ya did not want to wait. He immediately stopped his Martial Soul True Body. He turned into a blue light and landed next to Purple Pearl. He checked her quickly. Her injuries were very bad, and there were many strange poisons inside her body. But she was still breathing.
He immediately sent pure water spirit power into Purple Pearl's body to save her life. At the same time, he looked at the other survivors.
"I can only take them back to Sea God Island for help first. Then I must tell the High Priestess everything about this."
Ou Ya made a quick choice. He used his spirit power to lift Purple Pearl and the few living fishermen into the air. He looked deeply at the place where Tang San's group had disappeared. His eyes looked very serious. This matter seemed much more difficult and dangerous than he thought at first.
Then, he did not stay there any longer. Carrying the survivors, he turned into a deep blue light and flew fast toward Sea God Island. He left behind only the burning ruins, the dead bodies everywhere, and that shocking giant hole on Purple Pearl Island.
Meanwhile, at the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, a tired group of people was walking toward Spirit City.
The carriage moved up and down on the muddy road. The sound of the wheels turning over the rocks was very loud and annoying. This group had only about a hundred people left, and they walked very slowly. Everyone looked tired and scared. Their armor was broken and covered in blood. The carriage in the middle used to look grand, but now its top was torn and the gold paint was coming off. It cast a long shadow under the sunset.
Inside the carriage, Bibi Dong sat down with her legs crossed. The purple and black Rakshasa Divine Power shone around her like a candle in the wind. Every time she tried to gather her power, the sharp Asura Killing Intent inside her body stopped it. This made her cough hard, and purple-black blood came out from the corners of her mouth.
Hu Liena stayed next to her. She used a wet cloth to wipe the cold sweat from her teacher's forehead carefully.
"Teacher, please drink some water."
Hu Liena spoke softly and handed over a water bag.
Bibi Dong shook her head a little bit. She looked through the opening of the carriage curtain at the dark sky. She asked a question.
"Liena, how much further is it to Spirit City?"
"With our slow speed, it will take at least five more days to reach the closest camp."
Hu Liena answered quietly. Her fingers held the cloth tightly without knowing it. Five days was a very long time for her heavily injured teacher and for this small group of people. They could meet enemies or traps at any moment.
As she kept trying to heal herself, the spiderweb mark on Bibi Dong's forehead suddenly lit up with light. She opened her eyes quickly. Her eyes were full of deep fear. In a flash, she ran out of the carriage and looked up at the sky in front of them.
"Teacher!"
Seeing this, Hu Liena called out and ran out after her.
The remaining hundred Spirit Masters became alert right away. Their spirit rings shone with light as they stood around the two women to protect them. Everyone looked around the area nervously. The wild fields were very quiet, and only the sound of the wind could be heard.
But Bibi Dong kept looking at the sky ahead. Even though there was nothing there, she seemed to see something very scary. Her body started to shake.
In the next moment, the air moved like water waves. A blue figure appeared quietly high in the air, looking like he had been standing there the whole time.
"Bibi Dong, it has been a long time."
