50: Chapter 50: The max-level boss blasts the newbie village! Nana intervenes…

Huo Yuhao held it in for a long time, eventually resorting to two tactical coughs to forcefully break the awkward atmosphere.

"Um, since everyone's spirit ring has been sorted out, let's pull back."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao hurriedly turned around to lead the way.

Ling Luochen withdrew her gaze and followed without a word.

Gu Yuena walked at the very back of the group, holding a cup of milk tea that had appeared in her hand at some unknown point, sipping slowly on the straw.

The six-person team began to head back the way they came toward the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.

They were eager to return home.

They had been cautious coming in, but everyone was feeling a bit cocky on the way out.

Ma Xiaotao hummed a tune the whole way, and while Ling Luochen still wore a cold expression, her steps were noticeably lighter.

Just as they were about to step out of the mixed zone at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Huo Yuhao, who was walking in the front, suddenly came to a sharp halt.

A faint golden light welled up in his eyes, and he instantly activated Spiritual Detection Sharing, connecting everyone to it.

"Ambush!" Huo Yuhao hissed.

Red dots instantly lit up on the three-dimensional map in everyone's minds.

Twelve extremely cold and violent auras were lurking in the dense forest not far ahead.

"Holy crap, they dare to camp us at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest? That's so cheap!" Ma Xiaotao subconsciously summoned her Blazing Phoenix Soul Spirit.

No sooner had she finished speaking than a nauseating, strange laughter came from the dense forest ahead.

"Hehehe..."

Twelve black-robed figures leaped down from the treetops in unison, forming a fan shape and surrounding Huo Yuhao and his group.

The clothes on these black-robed figures were embroidered with skull patterns.

As soon as they landed, a strong stench of blood mixed with deathly aura washed over them.

It almost made Huo Yuhao vomit.

"Evil Spirit Masters!" Wang Donger exclaimed.

The leader of the black-robed figures took a step forward.

This person was wrapped in black mist, and the Soul Power fluctuations emanating from him were terrifying.

He was clearly a Spirit Saint above level 70!

Behind him followed three Spirit Emperors, and the remaining eight were all Spirit Kings.

Such a lineup would definitely be an elite hunting squad outside, and the Spirit Saint swept his gaze over Huo Yuhao and the others.

Seeing how ridiculously young they were and that there was no teacher accompanying the team, the corners of his mouth curled into an extremely cruel arc.

"A few brats dare to venture deep into the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"Looking at your Spirit configurations, you're probably core disciples from Shrek Academy."

The Spirit Saint's voice was hoarse, his tone full of the mockery of a cat playing with a mouse.

"Our Holy Spirit Cult and your Shrek Academy are at odds until death."

"I really should have checked the calendar before leaving today; my luck is exploding."

"If I crush all you geniuses here, and the Cult Master finds out, he'll definitely give me a huge red envelope!"

Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes.

"Mister, villains die from talking too much; don't you know the rules?"

"You're courting death!"

The Spirit Saint was furious and waved his hand.

"Get them! Keep them alive; I want to extract their souls and light them like lanterns!"

The battle erupted instantly.

The opponent had twelve people, and their levels completely crushed them.

On Huo Yuhao's side, except for Gu Yuena who was still drinking milk tea, the highest cultivation was Ma Xiaotao, who had just broken through to Spirit King.

But this didn't mean they would just stand there and take a beating.

Huo Yuhao switched to the Ultimate Solo Soldier state without hesitation.

Mental Interference was deployed at full power!

Invisible mental shockwaves precisely locked onto the three Spirit Kings charging in the front.

Those three Evil Spirit Masters only felt a "buzz" in their brains, and hallucinations instantly appeared before their eyes.

They screamed, raised the scythes and bone staves in their hands, and hacked directly at their teammates beside them.

"Are you guys crazy! Why are you hacking at me!"

The enemy formation instantly turned into a chaotic mess.

At the same time, the Spirit Saint had already made his move.

A mass of pitch-black resentment transformed into a giant skull, smashing fiercely toward Huo Yuhao's face.

"Ice Empress!"

Huo Yuhao slapped his hands on the ground, and Ultimate Ice erupted.

A thick ice wall rose from the ground, forcefully blocking the impact of the skull.

Ice shards splattered everywhere.

Ma Xiaotao wasn't idle either.

"Phoenix Blazing Meteor!"

Her newly acquired Blazing Phoenix Soul Spirit soared into the air, emitting a shrill phoenix cry.

The phoenix fire transformed into meteorites, smashing directly toward those Evil Spirit Masters.

Ultimate Fire had an innate restraining effect on these dark and evil things.

The flames and black mist collided, hissing as they burned, emitting large clouds of white smoke.

Ling Luochen also summoned her Ice Crystal Xuan Turtle Soul Spirit.

An unbreakable ice armor shield was placed on everyone, while simultaneously releasing a large area of cold air, making the Evil Spirit Masters on both sides shiver uncontrollably.

However, the gap in levels was there.

The Spirit Saint's suppression was simply too strong.

He snorted coldly, and the seventh spirit ring on his body lit up.

Spirit Avatar!

More black mist surged out, transforming into countless ferocious ghost faces, which began to frantically gnaw at Ling Luochen's ice armor.

Huo Yuhao was drenched in sweat, his face gradually turning pale.

Resisting the attack of a Spirit Saint at a higher level, his Mental Energy was being depleted too quickly.

"Sister Nana! Stop watching the show!" Huo Yuhao screamed frantically in his heart, but he stubbornly didn't call out loud.

At this moment, Gu Yuena was standing at the very back of the group with her hands behind her back.

She didn't do anything, just quietly watching Huo Yuhao and the others frantically testing the boundaries of life and death.

There wasn't a ripple in those silver-purple eyes.

Even the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she were watching a free 4D action blockbuster.

With her strength.

Crushing these twelve Evil Spirit Masters to death was truly easier than crushing twelve ants.

But she had no intention of taking action immediately.

She just wanted to see where the limits of this Plane Child she had chosen, and these humans, really were.

Ma Xiaotao was fighting in the front, looking disheveled.

She caught a glimpse of Gu Yuena still sipping milk tea and gritted her teeth in anger.

"Nana! Are you really planning to watch us get skinned and cramped!"

Gu Yuena tilted her head slightly, her tone very flat.

"What's the rush? It's not time yet."

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and held on; he really hadn't asked Gu Yuena for help.

A man, after all, has to have some backbone.

At worst, they would fight to the bitter end.

The Spirit Saint, seeing that he couldn't win after a long attack, also became angry.

"Shrek's geniuses? Today, I'll let you become Shrek's martyrs!"

He put his hands together, and all the black mist gathered together, turning into a super skull as big as a house.

It pressed down, blotting out the sky.

That pressure caused a stinging pain in Huo Yuhao's brain, as if it were about to be torn apart.

Just at this critical moment.

Wang Donger and Wang Qiuer, who had been standing behind Huo Yuhao, stepped forward simultaneously.

The two looked at each other subconsciously.

They didn't say a word.

But in that instant, an extremely strange tacit understanding was generated between them.

Behind Wang Donger, the Radiant Goddess Butterfly Spirit suddenly blossomed.

The brilliant golden-blue light, like the dawn of daybreak, instantly illuminated the dim forest.

On Wang Qiuer's body, the Golden Dragon Spirit erupted fully.

The dark golden dragon might transformed into substantial scale phantom images, soaring into the sky accompanied by a high-pitched dragon roar.

One light, one dragon.

Two forces that should have had no intersection were miraculously intertwining and merging in mid-air.

Producing a resonance that even they found unbelievable!

"Boom!"

A shockwave that fused pure light and ultimate gold blasted out directly.

This shockwave was like a dragon's breath wrapped in holy light, carrying a force that could destroy everything.

With a loud "bang," it directly blasted the house-sized black skull into smithereens.

The aftermath didn't lose its momentum, slamming solidly into the Spirit Saint's chest.

The Spirit Saint screamed, flying backward more than ten zhang, and even the black mist on his body was shaken away by more than half.

The whole scene was deathly silent.

Everyone was stunned.

Wang Donger and Wang Qiuer stared blankly at their own hands, completely unaware of what had just happened.

That was too fierce!

The Spirit Saint rolled on the ground twice and scrambled up, looking disheveled.

His face was full of horror, followed by shame and anger.

"You two stinky brats! What kind of power is this?!"

His Soul Power began to surge crazily, his eyes turned red, and he was clearly preparing to fight for his life.

"Pay with your lives!"

The Spirit Saint roared and charged toward the group.

Gu Yuena bit the straw and sighed lightly.

"That's enough; let's end it here."

She threw the milk tea cup to the side without releasing any pressure.

She just slowly raised her eyelids and glanced lightly at the charging Spirit Saint.

Just a single glance.

"Uh..."

The Spirit Saint's roar stopped abruptly, and the ferocious expression on his face froze.

The madness in his eyes instantly turned into dead ash and emptiness.

His soul was instantly annihilated in that moment.

His consciousness dissipated, without even a shred of room for resistance.

His body, like a pile of mud, slumped softly to the ground and slid several meters away.

The other eleven Evil Spirit Masters hadn't even reacted to what had happened.

"Plop."

"Thump."

One after another, they fell down without warning.

Their breathing ceased.

Their pupils dilated.

There was no struggle, no screaming.

Twelve living high-level Spirit Masters were simply erased from the world by an invisible hand.

Cleanly, leaving no trace.

Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze.

She clapped her hands, her movements as casual as if she had just brushed a speck of dust off her sleeve.

"Done."

Ma Xiaotao sat on the ground, gasping for air.

She looked at the corpses lying all over the ground, then looked up at Gu Yuena.

"Big Sister... couldn't you have cleared the lane earlier? Did you have to wait until we were low on health to use your ultimate move?"

Gu Yuena glanced at her indifferently.

"If I had acted earlier, how would I have seen that fusion shockwave from just now?"

"Your stress resistance barely counts as passing."

The battle ended too quickly, too abruptly.

Wang Donger and Wang Qiuer's attack just now had drained all their Soul Power and physical strength.

Both of them rolled their eyes and collapsed backward from exhaustion.

Huo Yuhao was quick-eyed and fast-handed.

He slid forward, catching Wang Donger's waist with his left hand and supporting Wang Qiuer's back with his right.

Holding one in each arm, he steadily placed them on the ground.

Huo Yuhao stepped over the corpses of the Evil Spirit Masters, raised his head, and looked straight at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena met his gaze.

She shrugged slightly, spread her hands, and said in an extremely innocent tone.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"They fell down suddenly on their own; what does that have to do with me?"

"Maybe they were practicing some messy evil techniques and suddenly suffered a backlash from Qi deviation; how unlucky."

Huo Yuhao was silent for a few seconds.

He looked at the corpses on the ground that hadn't even shed a drop of blood, and really didn't want to expose this excuse full of holes.

"Thank you," Huo Yuhao said in a low voice.

Gu Yuena curled her lips slightly and didn't respond.

She turned around and took the lead, walking toward the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Her silver hair fluttered gently in the wind, and her back looked incredibly dashing.

Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes behind her back and muttered softly.

"What's with the mystery? She's clearly a max-level boss who came to the newbie village to fish."

Muttering aside, Ma Xiaotao still obediently bent down and carried the unconscious Wang Qiuer on her back.

Ling Luochen walked over and gently helped Wang Donger up.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and casually stripped the storage spirit tools from the loot on the ground.

Afterward, the group quickened their pace and followed Gu Yuena away from this place of trouble.

The lush and ancient Star Dou Great Forest gradually faded into the distance behind them.
