The Evil Soul Master referred to as Old Three by his two companions was naturally not dead. Although the two Annihilation Energy Bullets were comparable to a strike from a Soul Saint, it was still somewhat difficult to directly kill a Soul Douluo.
However, Old Three was not unscathed. On the contrary, his condition was miserable. Both of his legs had been blown off, and his entire body was drenched in blood. He was severely injured and appeared to be on the verge of death. If not treated promptly, he might indeed die from excessive blood loss.
This incident proved that the physical strength of a Weapon Soul Master was indeed inferior to that of a Beast Soul Master. If Old Three had possessed a Beast Martial Soul, the two Annihilation Energy Bullets would not have caused him such severe damage.
"Old Three, how are you?" Another Evil Soul Master quickly flew to Old Three's side, shouting anxiously.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, kill them!" Old Three's eyes were bloodshot, filled with rage and hatred as he shouted.
"Second Brother, unleash your full power!" The Oldest among the three Evil Soul Masters said in a gloomy tone.
"Yes!" The Second Brother beside Old Three roared with fury, "We must make that kid suffer a fate worse than death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two black Soul Rings simultaneously lit up behind the Oldest and Second Brother. A massive black skull engulfed the two of them, and countless chains began to fly aimlessly, spiraling and coiling around the God of Machine Zero in an irregular pattern.
These chains emitted a sinister black light, and the links on the chains had transformed into skull-like shapes, resembling the hooks and chains used in the underworld to capture souls. They coiled like black venomous snakes, tightly binding the body of the God of Machine Zero, spreading and intertwining, rendering the dark golden Mecha completely immobile.
"Xiao Mo, let's get out!" Jing Shaoyu made a decisive move, immediately opening the cockpit and ejecting himself and Mo Hentian.
The moment the two appeared, they were immediately spotted by the Oldest and Second Brother of the Evil Soul Masters. They swiftly controlled their respective Martial Souls and launched an attack toward Jing Shaoyu and Mo Hentian. The thick black chains shot through the air with incredible speed.
The instant Jing Shaoyu and Mo Hentian were ejected from the God of Machine Zero, they immediately released their own Martial Souls. Jing Shaoyu naturally summoned the Origin Elf Soul first, directly calling forth the Obsidian Sword Hemp, while Mo Hentian wielded the Sky-Hate Hammer, smashing it toward the oncoming chains.
The Obsidian Sword Hemp successfully restrained the Second Brother of the Evil Soul Masters, but the Oldest, who was the strongest, still needed to be dealt with by Jing Shaoyu and Mo Hentian. The situation they faced remained grim. Fortunately, Old Three had been severely injured by the two Annihilation Energy Bullets from the God of Machine Zero due to his carelessness, or else their current predicament would have been even worse.
By now, Jing Shaoyu and Mo Hentian had landed on the ground. Jing Shaoyu first applied auxiliary effects to both of them at the fastest speed possible, with the Azure Halo and Scarlet Halo simultaneously enveloping them. He also did not forget to activate the boiling starlight of the Staff of Stars. Then, he transformed his Martial Soul, wielding the Doomsday Godslaying Spear, and together with Mo Hentian, they faced the chains that were continuously lashing toward them.
"Kid, give up the fight, and I can make your death quick!" The Oldest of the Evil Soul Masters leaped forward, landing in front of Jing Shaoyu and Mo Hentian. He swung the black chains in his hands repeatedly, speaking in a cold tone.
"Hmph, just an Evil Soul Master, yet you dare to boast so shamelessly!" Jing Shaoyu retorted with a sneer, his voice icy.
"Seeking death!" The leader of the Evil Soul Masters, upon hearing this, immediately became enraged. The iron chains in his hand flew out, splitting into three, shrouded in black mist as they shot towards Jing Shaoyu. At the same time, his figure closed in on the two of them.
Jing Shaoyu's expression turned grave. He swiftly extended his Doomsday Godslaying Spear to meet the incoming chains. However, just as the chains were about to reach the spear, they suddenly veered off, dodging the spear's tip and instead thrusting straight towards Mo Hentian.
This sudden turn of events caught Jing Shaoyu off guard, and even the leader of the Evil Soul Masters was momentarily stunned. Only Mo Hentian, who had been on high alert, noticed that the attack was aimed at him. Without hesitation, he simultaneously unleashed his first and fourth Soul Skills, causing the Sky-Hate Hammer in his hand to suddenly enlarge.
The massive hammer swung down fiercely, colliding with the iron chains and producing a dull metallic clang.
Mo Hentian's body trembled slightly as he took a step back, while the leader of the Evil Soul Masters let out a muffled grunt. The iron chains in his hand pressed forward, and just as he was about to pursue, a black spear slashed horizontally towards him, forcing him to retreat and recall his Martial Soul for defense.
Jing Shaoyu's spear struck the black iron chains, which retreated rapidly as if ice meeting fire, returning to the hand of the Evil Soul Master leader.
The leader of the Evil Soul Masters looked somewhat bewildered at his own Martial Soul, but Jing Shaoyu showed no such confusion. He raised his left hand, and a massive crescent moon, resembling a black scimitar, flew out from his palm. The moment the crescent moon appeared, the sky and earth darkened, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by several degrees. In an instant, it flew to the front of the Evil Soul Master leader.
Soul Bone Skill, Nightmare Calamity Moonbreak!
Countless iron chains immediately wrapped around the body of the Evil Soul Master leader, turning him into a large cocoon. As the crescent moon descended, it maximally reduced the power and impact of the Nightmare Calamity Moonbreak.
A dark purple light suddenly filled the space, and the eerie moonlight added a touch of night to the daytime. The iron chains within the light appeared precarious yet incredibly resilient. Outside the light, a spear pierced through the moonlight, thrusting straight towards the cocoon of chains.
"Clang—"
The spear struck the chains, causing them to tremble violently. As the frequency and speed of the tremors increased, the cocoon of chains suddenly exploded, and a figure leaped into the air, escaping the range of the Nightmare Calamity Moonbreak. Behind him floated dozens of straight, spear-like iron chains, which fiercely shot towards Jing Shaoyu.
"Die!" The figure was naturally the leader of the Evil Soul Masters. His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with anger and hatred. He had thought this mission would be simple, but he never expected that he, a Soul Douluo, would be pushed to such a state by a mere Soul King. If this were to spread back to their sect, it would surely cement their trio's reputation as the weakest combination.
Jing Shaoyu did not engage directly but instead retreated to Mo Hentian's side. He had already realized that these three Soul Douluos were not as formidable as their rank suggested, and their combat power did not match their cultivation level. Thus, he no longer felt the initial panic and worry, becoming more composed.
"Little Mo, how are you? Can you still fight?" Jing Shaoyu asked, looking at Mo Hentian, whose breathing was slightly rapid.
"It's alright, Class Monitor," Mo Hentian immediately replied. "I'm just a bit nervous, but I'm not scared at all."
"Mm," Jing Shaoyu nodded, his eyes gleaming with a peculiar light. "Let's go!"
"Yes!" Mo Hentian shouted with determination, his fox-like eyes fixed on Jing Shaoyu's back, filled with an unusual emotion.
The leader of the Evil Soul Masters, seeing that his attack had once again failed, grew even more impatient. When he noticed Jing Shaoyu and Mo Hentian actively launching an attack against him, he became even more furious. With both hands raised, the Martial Soul chains in his grasp immediately lashed out toward the two.
The chains whipped through the air with a series of sharp cracks, sounding quite intimidating. However, Jing Shaoyu and Mo Hentian showed no fear. Standing shoulder to shoulder, they launched their counterattack. Jing Shaoyu's Doomsday Godslaying Spear danced with intricate patterns, while Mo Hentian's Sky-Hate Hammer spun in a simple yet effective motion, deflecting the incoming chains.
"Damn it!" The Evil Soul Master leader was completely enraged. He let out a roar and then activated his eighth Soul Ring. The Martial Soul chains in his hands emitted a strong black light, and with a "whoosh," they flew into the air. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into hundreds of chains, weaving and shifting in the air to form a massive iron cage. This cage directly enveloped Jing Shaoyu, Mo Hentian, and a large area of open ground around them.
Jing Shaoyu and Mo Hentian immediately halted their steps, cautiously observing the enormous iron cage that had descended from the sky. In the next moment, countless sharp chains flew toward them from all directions. The two stood back-to-back, each dealing with the attacks coming from their respective fronts.
The eighth Soul Skill of this Soul Douluo was indeed extraordinary. The countless chains were like countless spear blades, tirelessly thrusting toward the two. At first, they were able to handle the onslaught with ease, but as time passed, they gradually began to struggle.
After all, Mo Hentian was only a Soul Grandmaster. For him to face the eighth Soul Skill of a Soul Douluo head-on and hold out for this long was already quite an achievement.
"Little Mo, turn around and hold onto me tightly!" Jing Shaoyu said in a deep voice. He was preparing to use the jade bracelet given to him by Yun Ming.
He hadn't wanted to use it, but if he didn't act now, he might be fine, but Mo Hentian would surely die. So, he could no longer hold back.
"Alright!" Without any hesitation, Mo Hentian turned and tightly embraced Jing Shaoyu's back, completely exposing his own back to the chains and spear blades.
A crimson light suddenly erupted from the two of them, not only blocking the thrusting chains but also shattering the iron cage into pieces, rendering it unable to maintain its form.
