"Looking for me? Heh. You evil demons deserve to become souls beneath my blade!" Su Yunlin said angrily.
The black-robed Evil Spirit Master continued trying to entice him. "With your talent, if you join our Holy Cult, you will definitely be able to—"
"First Spirit Ability, Dark Devil Evil Lightning Slash!"
Su Yunlin attacked directly, cleaving out with a tyrannical strike.
The black-robed man was greatly shocked and immediately released his Martial Soul. His Martial Soul was actually a pitch-black great tree. Its trunk was like ink jade, its branches twisted like ghost claws, its crown covered the sky, and its entire body was covered in flying catkins.
No matter how one looked at it, this tree was eerie. One could even hear resentful spirits roaring from within it.
The black-robed man also revealed his Spirit Rings. His Spirit Ring configuration was shockingly powerful.
Three purple, four black, and two red!
What an astonishing Spirit Ring configuration!
Su Tianxuan frowned. "His Spirit Ring configuration! Why has it changed again?"
Cai Mei'er was also startled. "Elder Su, what was his Spirit Ring configuration last time?"
"Four purple, four black, and one red. From the looks of it, after I heavily injured him, he became even stronger!" Su Tianxuan could sense the black-robed man's aura. It was roughly at the peak of level 95. Perhaps it would not take long for him to break through to level 96.
Once this fellow broke through to level 97, Su Tianxuan felt that he definitely would not be able to defeat him. He had to take advantage of the fact that this man had not fully risen yet and completely destroy him now!
At this moment, the black-robed man was blocking Su Yunlin's slash. He was shocked to discover that this slash was actually causing him to age rapidly. The black-robed man immediately gave up resisting and dodged the attack.
Rip—
The black robe covering him was torn apart, revealing his true appearance. He looked to be around 50 years old, tall and thin, with a pale, sinister face. Black and white demonic catkins drifted through his black hair, and his eyes were dark purple vertical pupils. Deathly black energy spread around his body. He wore a long robe patterned with a pitch-black demonic tree, and his entire aura was cold and strange.
He was Pu Du, the head of the Holy Spirit Cult's Eight Great Elders. His Martial Soul was the Soul-Devouring Devil Dandelion Tree, and his Spirit Power was level 95.
At this moment, Pu Du's right arm had become incomparably withered. It looked like a dried-up branch, as if all vitality had been drained from it.
"Damn it! It actually has the ability to strip away life force! You should join my cult!" Pu Du roared.
"Xuanjun!"
Su Yunlin gave an order to the Dark Devilgod Tiger, Xuanjun. Xuanjun understood and immediately launched an attack. In just an instant, Xuanjun released dozens of black-red blades of light.
These blades of light were formed from the fusion of wind and evil attribute energy. With the powerful cutting force of the wind attribute, combined with the intense corrosion of the evil attribute, their might was astonishing. They were not inferior to a human Spirit Master's Spirit Ability above 50,000 years.
"Damn it! No martial virtue! Seventh Spirit Ability, Soul-Devouring Devil Dandelion Tree True Body!"
Pu Du directly activated his Martial Soul True Body. Facing the Dark Devilgod Tiger, he did not dare be careless.
"I'm too lazy to waste words with you. You don't deserve to hear them! I only want you dead!" Su Yunlin had absolutely no desire to talk with Evil Spirit Masters.
Boom, boom, boom—
Xuanjun's light blades bombarded the massive Soul-Devouring Devil Dandelion Tree. At that moment, Su Tianxuan moved. Battle armor instantly covered his body, and the three-word battle armor raised Su Tianxuan's combat strength by another level.
"Ninth Spirit Ability, Dark Night Demon-Breaking Fist!"
Su Tianxuan attacked with astonishing speed, smashing his fist into the Soul-Devouring Devil Dandelion Tree.
Crack, crack—
Cracks spread across the Soul-Devouring Devil Dandelion Tree. Pu Du spat out mouthfuls of blood. He had not expected Su Tianxuan to have grown stronger as well. He could barely withstand that punch. His Martial Soul True Body had nearly been shattered.
"So tough! Again!"
Su Tianxuan was about to use his ninth Spirit Ability once more. He wanted to completely kill Pu Du right here!
"Damn it, you forced me! Demon puppets, explode!"
Countless pitch-black figures of all shapes and sizes fell from the massive Soul-Devouring Devil Dandelion Tree. Some were humans, while others were Spirit Beasts, but none of them had any vitality. They were like puppets.
Most likely, these were puppets controlled by Pu Du through an Evil Spirit Master secret technique.
Boom—
At that moment, those puppets began exploding one after another!
"Not good!"
Su Tianxuan saw those demon puppets heading toward the Shrek group. He immediately turned back. Protecting the students was the top priority.
When Pu Du saw that his attack had worked, he immediately withdrew his Martial Soul True Body, then burrowed into the ground and fled quickly. He no longer had time to care about anyone else. If he did not run now, then once Su Tianxuan dealt with those demon puppets, he would be dead for certain.
Boom, boom, boom—
The demon puppets continued to explode. Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, Su Yunlin, and Tang Wutong's pupils shrank. They remembered the battle against the Death Messenger in the Ming Dou Mountain Range 5 years ago.
The explosive power of these demon puppets was much stronger than corpse puppets.
"Everyone, gather around me!" Su Yunlin shouted. A defensive soul tool appeared in his hand. It was a level 9 defensive soul tool, Hongchen's Blessing, a treasure sponsored by Jing Hongchen.
The Shrek group immediately gathered around Su Yunlin. In the next moment, a faint pink barrier appeared.
"Suppress!"
At that moment, Su Tianxuan made his move. He released his vast Spirit Power, along with the portion of spatial power he had grasped, controlling the massive explosion. Then he continuously compressed it, finally grinding it away completely.
After finishing all this, Su Tianxuan let out a breath of relief and looked down.
"Are the children all fine?"
Su Yunlin carefully checked his classmates. Seeing that everyone was unharmed, he also breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandpa, everyone's fine."
Su Tianxuan looked into the distance and released his Spiritual Power. Sure enough, Pu Du had already fled far away. Letting a Super Douluo-level Evil Spirit Master escape was undoubtedly a heavy bomb for the Douluo Continent.
"Damn it! If another elder had been here, that bastard would definitely have left his life behind!" Su Tianxuan was somewhat frustrated. They had allowed a powerful Evil Spirit Master to escape.
"Elder Su, the responsibility for this matter does not lie with you. His attack target was the children. We had to ensure their safety first," Cai Mei'er said as she walked back. At this moment, Cai Mei'er was also wearing a suit of white-gold armor, and a dragon spear had appeared in her hand.
On Cai Mei'er's dragon spear, there were 5 figures. The 5 figures had been strung onto the dragon spear, just like candied hawthorns on a stick.
"Oh? You dealt with the remaining Evil Spirit Master brats?" Su Tianxuan looked at Cai Mei'er.
Cai Mei'er nodded. "They were only 5 Spirit Sage-level Evil Spirit Masters. If I couldn't even deal with them, then I would have lived all these years in vain."
Cai Mei'er shook her dragon spear, and those 5 figures were instantly vaporized and worn away. Before long, they completely turned into ashes.
Huo Yuhao exclaimed in admiration, "What Martial Soul does Dean Cai have? It's so powerful?"
Su Yunlin put away Hongchen's Blessing. "Senior Sister… cough, cough. Dean Cai's Martial Soul is a mutated Martial Soul called the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear. It's similar to the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul, with a dragon soul residing within it.
"Dean Cai's Martial Soul has the evil-breaking trait, making it the bane of Evil Spirit Masters. The deans of our academy are all far from simple."
Su Yunlin had once heard Elder Mu speak about several of his disciples. His 4 disciples each had different traits, but all of them had flaws in their personalities.
Take Cai Mei'er, for example. As the wielder of the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear, she should have been incomparably domineering, yet Cai Mei'er was quite gentle. Among the deans, she was definitely the easiest to talk to.
Sometimes, even Elder Mu felt that if his disciples' Martial Souls were swapped around, perhaps the results would be better.
Cai Mei'er's Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul Spear was extremely domineering. When it came to killing Evil Spirit Masters, she had the greatest advantage. Of course, she had long since been placed on the Evil Spirit Masters' blacklist, so under normal circumstances, she did not often take missions.
This time, she had killed 5 Evil Spirit Master Spirit Sages in one move. That was also what she ought to do. Suppressing Evil Spirit Masters had always been Shrek's responsibility.
Cai Mei'er was also very glad that Su Tianxuan had accompanied them on this operation. Otherwise, relying on her alone, even facing the 3 Evil Spirit Master brothers from the beginning would have forced Cai Mei'er to carefully consider how to retreat with the students.
