Chapter 318: The Plan in Motion, Tang San Gets Beaten (1)
After winning his latest match, Tang San couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
This victory brought him one step closer to his goal of achieving a hundred consecutive wins in the Hell Slaughter Field.
Excited, he quickly turned and left the arena, making his way back to the Hell Slaughter Field's main hall.
By this time, Lin Yu and Liu Erlong had already left the spectator area and were chatting happily while waiting for Tang San.
As soon as Tang San emerged, the three of them walked together out of the Hell Slaughter Field.
However, even though they left together, their mood differed, and they walked in a staggered formation—Tang San in the lead, followed by Lin Yu and Liu Erlong.
At the front was, naturally, Tang San.
Having just secured his second victory in the Hell Slaughter Field, Tang San was thrilled and eager to get back and share the good news with his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, and his "beautiful and cute" girlfriend, Biro.
Meanwhile, Liu Erlong, still engaged in conversation with Lin Yu, unknowingly lagged behind.
This was exactly what Lin Yu had intended.
As the three of them exited the Hell Slaughter Field, a group of Fallen Soul Masters that Lin Yu had gathered over the past month, led by the hook-nosed middle-aged man, were lying in wait in a small alley near the Hell Slaughter Field.
When they saw Lin Yu, Liu Erlong, and Tang San emerge almost simultaneously from the Hell Slaughter Field, they immediately understood their target without needing any reminder from the hook-nosed man, based on the description and the plan that had been made.
The young man, with a radiant expression, walking in the lead was, without a doubt, their target to beat and capture!
"Ready! The target is approaching!"
Seeing Tang San's excited face as he walked swiftly down the street, nearing the location where the group lay in wait, the hook-nosed man whispered to the others.
"Got it!"
Thanks to Lin Yu's previous training, the other Fallen Soul Masters, filled with fear of Lin Yu, quickly prepared, lowering their voices in response.
Soon, as Tang San passed the spot where they lay in wait and Lin Yu and Liu Erlong arrived at the ambush location, the hook-nosed man gave a low command.
"All control-type Soul Masters, move now! The rest of you, follow me and teach that boy a lesson. Everyone, remember the plan!"
After giving the command, the hook-nosed man immediately summoned his martial soul and activated it.
"Iron Feather Hawk, possession!"
With a sharp cry, a large, gray-brown feathered hawk-like soul beast emerged from the man's back and, after a piercing screech, instantly merged with his body.
As the martial soul took possession, the hook-nosed man's form grew taller, his hands rapidly sprouting numerous dark golden scales, transforming into sharp hawk talons. His eyes turned into the slitted pupils of a hawk.
At the same time, seven dim soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, and black—rose from the hook-nosed man's feet, surrounding his body.
The hook-nosed man was, in fact, a Soul Saint-level expert!
On the other side, while the hook-nosed man activated his martial soul, another burly Fallen Soul Master summoned a brownish-golden tortoise martial soul and activated it.
As the martial soul took possession, this Fallen Soul Master's body grew more robust, and a brownish turtle shell formed on his chest.
Seven dim soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, and black—also appeared beneath his feet.
This tortoise soul master was also a Soul Saint-level expert!
Apart from the hook-nosed man and the tortoise soul master, there were many Soul Emperor-level experts among the other Fallen Soul Masters.
These Soul Emperors had beast martial souls, such as the Gale Demon Wolf, Golden-Tiger, Ghost Leopard, and others. Some had control-type martial souls, like Iron Vine, Ghost Vine, and Bloodthirsty Vine.
In an instant, as the hook-nosed man led the charge with his martial soul and the tortoise soul master, along with the other beast and tool-type soul masters, the control-type soul masters at the back also activated their martial souls, summoning countless vines that shot out like poisonous snakes toward Liu Erlong and Lin Yu.
"Danger!"
As soon as the hook-nosed man activated his martial soul and released his soul power, Liu Erlong immediately sensed the threat and quickly shouted, but it was already too late.
The control-type Fallen Soul Masters had already summoned their martial souls, sending a barrage of vines toward Liu Erlong and Lin Yu, blocking their way.
"Fire Dragon, possession!!"
Reacting swiftly, Liu Erlong, startled by the sudden attack of vines from the alley, quickly summoned her Fire Dragon martial soul and activated it.
In an instant, her black hair turned crimson, her entire body was covered in red dragon scales, and dragon horns sprouted from her head. Her eyes transformed into golden vertical pupils.
But what caught Lin Yu's attention the most was Liu Erlong's suddenly enhanced physique.
With the Fire Dragon martial soul's activation, Liu Erlong used its innate ability to convert her soul power into scorching dragon flames. The intense heat and fiery gusts swept toward the vines shooting at her from the side.
The vines created by the Soul Emperor-level control-type soul masters were instantly set ablaze by the red-hot dragon flames.
Seeing this, the control-type Fallen Soul Masters quickly withdrew their martial souls and retreated to the sides.
Although they hadn't managed to fully control Liu Erlong and Lin Yu, that wasn't their goal. Their task was only to temporarily hinder them so that the hook-nosed man and the tortoise soul master, along with the other Fallen Soul Masters, could target Tang San.
Their objective had already been achieved.
As Liu Erlong and Lin Yu were momentarily blocked by the vines, the hook-nosed man, along with the tortoise soul master and the rest of the Fallen Soul Masters, charged toward Tang San.
"Not good, danger!"
As the hook-nosed Soul Saint and the tortoise soul master, along with the Fallen Soul Masters, rushed toward Tang San, he immediately sensed the danger. His heart sank, and he quickly summoned his Haotian Hammer martial soul, preparing to fight back.
At least he needed to hold off until Aunt Erlong and Brother Aotian arrived to save him!
When Tang San saw the seven soul rings surrounding the hook-nosed man and the tortoise soul master, he knew that he definitely couldn't defeat them.
