Chapter 63 Spirit Hall's Trump Card — The Nirvana Team
"Nana, there won't be any danger this time, right?"
In mid-air, Zhou Chen held Hu Liena, his gaze flickering.
As a transmigrator who had seen Douluo 2, Zhou Chen knew very well how strong the means of Evil Soul Masters were.
The soul skills of Evil Soul Masters are related to blood sucking, corpse manipulation, and soul attacks; they often also possess secret techniques to burn flesh and soul to temporarily explode their strength.
In one-on-one combat, even if an ordinary Soul Master was ten levels higher, it would be hard to gain an advantage.
Therefore, Zhou Chen planned to take Hu Liena and flee immediately if the situation looked bad.
The reason he rode his sword in the air was to facilitate a strategic retreat.
"You, you are just too cautious."
Seeing Zhou Chen's flickering gaze, Hu Liena said with a bit of amusement: "This time our Spirit Hall has dispatched a Nirvana Team, what danger could there still be?"
Speaking of this, Hu Liena hesitated for a moment, but still explained it to Zhou Chen in detail: "The Nirvana Team consists of experts personally trained by my teacher, Her Holiness the Pope. There are five teams in total."
"Each team is composed of five Soul Douluos and twenty Soul Sages."
"They have interacted for decades and are proficient in joint attack techniques. We have calculated that a single Nirvana Team is enough to withstand the attacks of three ordinary Titled Douluos!"
Hearing Hu Liena's somewhat proud words, Zhou Chen instantly remembered.
In the original plot, there were indeed traces of the Nirvana Team.
Their first time going into battle, they were all wiped out by Tang San's great-grandfather, the ninety-ninth level Peerless Douluo Tang Chen, who at the time had lost his mind and had his body occupied by the Killing King.
However, being able to fight Tang Chen for nearly half an hour, even if Tang Chen held back, was enough to prove that the Nirvana Team's strength was not just hot air.
After all, even two or three ordinary Titled Douluos would be killed one by one with a hammer swing, finished in two or three moves when facing Tang Chen.
And with such a powerful Nirvana Team, Spirit Hall possesses five of them, equivalent to the combat power of fifteen Titled Douluo ranks!
From this, one can see the depth of Spirit Hall's foundation.
At this time, on the ground.
The strong experts of Spirit Hall had already completely surrounded the Evil Soul Masters' lair, yet the other side seemed to have not detected it at all.
Here, on the surface, it was a courtyard of a few hundred square meters, but in reality, it was an entrance to an underground altar.
The true lair of the Evil Soul Masters was underground.
And near the courtyard, more than ten Evil Soul Masters were constantly patrolling; they were generally around level 40 Soul Elders.
The strength of a Soul Elder, placed in Nuoding City, was enough to dominate, but in this Evil Soul Master organization, they were only fit to be guard dogs.
These Evil Soul Masters were talking and laughing, having no idea that the God of Death had arrived.
"Attack, leave none of the Blood Soul Masters alive."
Among the five Title Douluos, the leader, Lordiara, gave an order; twenty Soul Sage powerhouses above level 70, along with hundreds of Soul Masters transferred from the Silves City Spirit Hall Main Temple, rushed towards this courtyard from all directions.
In an instant, the dozen or so patrolling Evil Soul Masters outside the courtyard, while still unaware, had their necks twisted by the Soul Sage powerhouses.
After silently eliminating the patrolling Evil Soul Masters on the periphery, a few Agility Attack System Soul Sages sneaked into the courtyard.
Not long after, the courtyard opened from the inside, and a thick smell of blood rushed towards their faces.
Obviously, the Evil Soul Masters inside the courtyard had also been completely killed.
Not only that, but those few Soul Sages, resembling thieves and assassins, also opened the secret passage leading to the Evil Soul Masters' lair, that is, the underground altar.
Following that, hundreds of Spirit Hall Soul Masters began to pour into the courtyard and the underground altar without stopping.
Zhou Chen looked down from the air and saw that Spirit Hall's operation was very smooth; without a single person injured, they had already killed dozens of Evil Soul Masters, causing his vigilance to slightly diminish.
Perhaps, he should also go down and take a look.
However, just as Zhou Chen held Hu Liena and was preparing to ride his sword back to the ground, ear-splitting sounds of explosions rang out from underground!
These explosion sounds came one after another, and the sound grew louder and denser, even giving the sensation of mountains shaking and the ground quaking.
The explosions continued for half a minute before calming down, and immediately following, continuous screams rang out; dozens of Spirit Hall Soul Masters, covered in blood, some even missing arms or legs, escaped from the altar.
And the hundreds of Soul Masters behind, seeing this, also stopped in fear one after another.
Zhou Chen in the sky also paused in the air; those explosion sounds reminded him of TNT explosives.
Based on the scale of the explosion just now, it was at least several tons of TNT exploding at the same time.
He looked down with both eyes, wanting to use the Art of Heaven's Sight to see through the exact mystery of the Evil Soul Masters' underground altar.
However, he could see nothing at all, as if a layer of black cloth covered his vision.
"This is not good..."
Zhou Chen frowned and said.
And Hu Liena on the side nervously pursed her lips; she did not expect that things had really been predicted by Zhou Chen.
"No running allowed!"
On the ground, the leading Title Douluo Lordiara shouted angrily, grabbing a Soul Master who was running for his life, and urgently asked: "What is going on down below? Where are the three leading Soul Sages?"
"They are dead, all dead!"
This Soul Master was now frightened out of his wits; he said with a sobbing tone: "After we went down to the altar, we killed over a hundred Blood Soul Masters, but we didn't expect that the corpses of those Blood Soul Masters would actually explode, instantly blowing the three Soul Sage lords who were clearing the path ahead to death."
"And... and after the corpses exploded, a corpse poison also permeated out; of our nearly hundred people, most were corroded by the corpse poison until nothing remained, leaving only the few of us to escape."
As soon as these words were spoken, except for Lordiara who remained calm, the faces of the other four Title Douluos were somewhat pale, and they felt a sense of rejoicing.
As veteran powerhouses of Spirit Hall, this was not their first time crusading against Blood Soul Masters.
Therefore, they knew very well what the Soul Masters who went down into the altar just now had encountered.
Corpse Explosion Technique! Chain Corpse Explosion Technique!
This kind of evil technique never existed before; its sudden first appearance was six years ago!!
In the past six years, it has already appeared three times.
This technique requires planting a corpse explosion seed in a living person in advance; once the parasitized host dies, they will suddenly explode after a period of time!
The power of this Corpse Explosion Technique is quite powerful; the bones, muscles, and blood of the corpse all become weapons of the explosion.
Moreover, the liquid produced after the explosion possesses intense toxicity and corrosiveness; ordinary Soul Masters die upon touching it and perish if they get stained by it.
What is most terrifying is that the stronger the corpse was in life, the greater the power of the explosion; just think, those Blood Soul Masters, which one was not a Soul Elder above level 40?
The corpses of over a hundred Soul Elders, Soul Kings, and even Soul Emperors suddenly exploding in a confined underground space, how powerful the force is, is simply hard to imagine!
Let alone three Soul Sages, even if the five of us Title Douluos went down together, I am afraid one or two would have to die to withstand it.
