Hu Liena and her comrades, who were waiting on the city wall, rushed down the hundred-meter-high wall without hesitation and headed towards the center of the battlefield.

Black and red ominous lines crawled from his neck to his cheeks. Tang San, feeling his body being forcibly strengthened by the abundant energy extracted from the blood sacrifice array, curled his lips into a cold and crazed smile. His eyes, tinged with a dark, bloodshot light, stared at the blood-mist-filled battlefield, and he forced out a hoarse laugh from his throat:

"It's too late to act now!"

He knew that when he proposed this method, he might meet a tragic end.

But what if he doesn't die a peaceful death?

His Xiao Wu, his companions, and his deceased disciples from the Tang Clan are all gone.

Even if he transforms into a demon or an evil god, he will drag the Martial Soul Empire down with him!

Seeing through Tang San's desperate, all-or-nothing mentality, Qian Yuelong's eyes darkened. Without needing Bibi Dong to give further orders, she made a decisive decision:

"All troops of the Martial Soul Empire, heed my command! Immediately withdraw from the area of ​​the Blood Sacrifice Array!"

The "Condensing Light" pupil component was donned in a second, and a pale divine realm instantly covered the land within Qian Yuelong's sight:

The plains, once ravaged by war, were now covered by an endless expanse of uneven, grayish-white rock.

However, the blood sacrifice that Tang San and his group prepared was carved on the human corpse, not buried in the original ground.

The unfolding divine realm broadened the escape route for the panicked people, but it could not stop the blood sacrifice formation from continuing to operate.

As long as there are still corpses on the battlefield, or if people are still within the range of the blood sacrifice array, the array will continuously draw away their soul power.

After the soul power is exhausted, spiritual power is used; after the spiritual power is exhausted, life force is extracted.

This is why this blood sacrifice formation is called a forbidden technique.

Bibi Dong felt a sense of familiarity because the ancient book that recorded this forbidden technique was once secretly sealed in the Spirit Hall's library.

Although other sects may have some books that involve taboos, these ancient books passed down by evil spirit masters are only sealed in the library of the Spirit Hall.

Not to mention the current Spirit Empire, even the former Spirit Hall was inaccessible to Tang San.

It could only be... that Yu Xiaogang, when he left the Spirit Hall, took some of the forbidden books with him, which eventually became Tang San's belongings, and Tang San found them.

"Yu Xiaogang..."

She recited the name that hadn't been mentioned in a long time.

For the first time, Bibi Dong felt a strong killing intent towards Yu Xiaogang.

But as Tang San said...

It's too late.

Their target was Tang San, and the fastest of the titled Douluo were intercepted by Dugu Bo and his two companions.

In just a few seconds, the black mud that was constantly oozing from the wound on Tang San's chest suddenly grew larger.

Like a floodgate bursting, it instantly engulfed Tang San.

Tang San seemed to have transformed into the center of a spring, with two to three meters high black mud rising like waves on the sea, extending outwards and rapidly expanding its territory.

"save--!"

"ah--!"

Anyone who touches the black mud is instantly grabbed by countless withered and ferocious claws that emerge from it, dragging them into the depths of the drowning black tide without distinguishing friend from foe.

Like leeches clinging to human skin, they greedily suck blood, flesh, soul power, and even the soul.

Bibi Dong, who was accidentally entangled by these things, changed her expression as she felt her soul power being frantically drained.

But she was, after all, a level 99 peerless Douluo.

The seventh soul ring, which turned blood red during the Rakshasa God's succession assessment, hummed, and Bibi Dong transformed into her martial soul true form, half-human and half-spider.

"The Soul-Devouring Spider King's first soul skill, Crescent Moon!"

Bibi Dong's six spider spears on her back, along with her spider spear-shaped arms, gathered in front of her simultaneously. The tips of the eight spears touched the void, and a strong dark green light suddenly rose up as her jet-black first soul ring shone.

"Buzz!"

With eight spears raised simultaneously, supported by her powerful soul force, Bibi Dong instantly unleashed eight crescent-shaped light blades, slashing at the black claws formed from the continuous black mud.

She tried to attack the black mud with her soul skills, but it was like punching cotton; she couldn't see any effect.

"We must find Tang San, the key figure in the formation! Killing Tang San will stop this black mud!"

With a lot of pent-up anger in her heart, Bibi Dong roared and spread her voice, then activated her head-only mental immunity soul bone skill - Real World.

The real-world effect is immunity to hallucinations and enchantments, allowing you to see reality directly.

Any hallucinatory skills will be rendered ineffective under the illumination of this skill. Even with the black mud as a cover, she can see through the material's appearance and discern its true nature.

Using the skull soul skill requires one-third of Bibi Dong's mental energy, so she won't use it lightly.

But if we don't find Tang San now, we really won't be able to stop the blood sacrifice formation!

"Quickly, retreat!!"

In his Martial Soul True Form, standing on the forehead of the Diamond Mammoth, Hu Yanzhen, who was warlike and competitive all his life, found Bibi Dong troublesome. His expression changed drastically, and he no longer doubted the orders given by Bibi Dong and Qian Yuelong. After shouting, he turned and ran away.

In a single second, Qian Yuelong transformed all the moon lines marking the enemy into star lines, sharing the defense and agility bonuses with the hundreds of thousands of remaining Star Luo troops on the battlefield.

It's no longer a question of being kind or unkind.

For every person who dies on the battlefield, the blood sacrifice will accumulate the power of one more person.

Even if they are enemies, we cannot let them all die within the blood sacrifice array!

In a second, the pristine white and gold gown was replaced, and a five-clawed black dragon embroidered with gold thread coiled on the jet-black robe that was being blown about by a strong wind. The dragon's red eyes were bright and piercing, exuding an aura of imposing power, as if it were about to come to life at any moment.

Qian Yuelong rushed to the front line, her clothes fluttering as she resembled a black dragon, exuding a fierce aura.

[Clothing: Set "Whispers of the Dead" individual piece - Embroidered Robe of Mountains and Rivers (Grade B) - Your Kingdom, Your Rules. (Passive: Increases the range of the owner's Soul Skills, with a maximum range equal to the cross-sectional size of the owner's territory)]

"Lotus Heart Domain, open!"

One golden lotus after another bloomed in an instant, spreading across the entire Lima Plain into a sea of ​​golden mist.

The golden lotus vines, exuding a sacred aura, intertwine and intertwine, forming a golden protective net.

Just as a ghostly martial soul is countered by the sacred trident of the sea god, the Floating World Golden Lotus, a mutated six-winged angel martial soul, also contains a purifying sacred aura, and should theoretically be the nemesis of these evil and filthy black mud.

However, to Qian Yuelong's surprise, the black mud was like an insatiable glutton, hungryly devouring everything.

The golden lotus in the lotus heart area and the interception line formed by the twisted roots and stems are as thin as paper, easily broken by a single poke in the face of the rampant black mud.

"How could this be?!"

Qian Yuelong looked astonished, not expecting that the Lotus Heart Domain, which had the effect of restraining all kinds of filth, would be useless.

"Girl, forget about the others, let's get out of here—"

Sensing the danger, Yue Guan urged Qian Yuelong to leave, but his words abruptly stopped as he deftly dodged an energy beam that struck him from the side.

"Don't rush off, Chrysanthemum Pass! Since you're already here, why not leave your lives behind?"

As Dugu Bogong, suspended in mid-air above the Black Tide, gathered his power in both palms, which were imbued with the dark green aura of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King's poison, and slammed them fiercely towards the location where Yue Guan was.

—A side note—

Ah, it's not here yet. It's hopeless.
