182. Desperate Backstab
Hu Liena had no idea that she had just received a good person card from the Great Enshrinement of Wuhun Hall, and of course, a thank you.
At this moment, she was invited by Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of Tiandou, and she was quietly standing on the city wall with everyone, watching the dark beast tide not far away.
The beast tide is not approaching.
Still lingering in the distance.
Logically speaking, this is a good thing.
After all, this avoids an extremely cruel battle for both sides.
But no one present was happy about it.
Among the beasts, the brilliant soul skills that rose up from time to time seemed to turn into slaps, hitting everyone's faces hard.
I know that these cunning beasts are surrounding me for reinforcements, but if I don't go...
I feel so guilty!
But if you don’t want to endure this guilt...
From the current perspective, rushing forward can only mean a sacrifice in vain, and it is a sacrifice in vain without any value.
Looking at the scene in front of her that was still covered with clouds and drizzle, enduring the constant moisture, Hu Liena frowned slightly; the soul power in her body started to work spontaneously, dispelling the wet feeling on her body.
Even so, the girl couldn't help it, and secretly complained about the damn weather in her heart.
but...
At this moment, for the team of spirit masters, who have been fighting for a whole day and night in the beast tide but still have not succeeded in breaking through, and even the defense is stretched thin, it is wet...
Totally acceptable!
As long as they can successfully break through, they are willing to stay wet for the rest of their lives!
Stretched out his hand and wiped the rain off his face...
In short, he couldn't tell whether it was rain, sweat or tears. Liu Erlong slowly exhaled a mouthful of hot white mist, which relieved the blood in his body that was boiling to the point of almost burning.
Glancing at the drizzle that was still falling in the sky, the female soul saint whose martial soul was a blue electric tyrannosaur mutated into a fire dragon couldn't help but feel a little despair.
Due to weather restrictions, it was impossible to exert full strength.
In this rainy weather...
It usually takes one point of soul power to ignite a flame, but now it requires at least two points of soul power to ensure that the flame is ignited.
The suppression of strength is one aspect.
On the other hand, there were serious injuries on her body.
Glancing at the long wound on his abdomen, Liu Erlong endured the severe pain and took out a roll of bandages. He didn't care about treating the wound and just wrapped it roughly around it to ensure that he would not die from excessive blood loss.
.
Both aspects have been suppressed, so it is not difficult to explain why Liu Erlong is so desperate.
But the reason why this huge team of soul masters could hold on without falling apart was, to put it bluntly, because it had nothing to do with her personal combat effectiveness.
In other words, her output as a proportion of the entire team...
negligible!
It's outrageous, after all, the member with the highest cultivation level in this team is also a Contra.
But from a celestial perspective...
It doesn't seem too outrageous.
The light rain all day and night, as well as the constant breeze, gave the main combatants of this team a considerable advantage.
Both Tianshui Academy and Shenfeng Academy have exerted their maximum combat effectiveness; even the combat effectiveness far exceeds their original strength.
but...
Since all the students at Tianshui College are girls...
Being exposed or something like that is inevitable.
However, fortunately, after a while of shopping, it was all dripping with blood and looked unappetizing, so naturally there were no embarrassing problems such as exposure...
Of course, the image is completely ruined...
Looking at the water curtain controlled by Shui Feng, the dean of Tianshui College not far away, Liu Erlong, who had just retreated to the back line to recover his soul power, couldn't help but laugh at himself about his useless Fire Dragon Martial Arts.
soul.
Of course, this is just self-deprecation.
After all, Liu Erlong would never be disappointed with his martial soul like some people.
As everyone knows...
If the above theory is true, her martial spirit can only be regarded as a red dragon!
The real fire dragon belongs to the fire dragon clan among the nine dragon clans!
The intensity and power of the flames will not decrease at all because of the light rain falling in the sky, nor will the control of one's own flames decrease!
Unless, the light rain falling in the sky is the ultimate water...
Liu Erlong naturally didn't know this, but the current situation made her not interested in knowing this. Just as she closed her eyes and prepared to recover her soul power, she heard Yu Xiaogang's familiar voice coming from the side.
"Erlong, how are you doing?"
"not too good..."
Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang in front of him, who was out of breath, in a mess, and looking exhausted, and answered succinctly.
It wasn't that she deliberately faced Yu Xiaogang with this attitude.
only...
There is indeed very little time left for her to recover her soul power.
Liu Erlong is a soul saint after all!
Even though her martial spirit is restrained by celestial phenomena, the strength she can exert is still much stronger than those several Soul King-level assistants at Tianshui Academy!
Therefore, she has been used as the deputy core, along with several other deputy cores, to cooperate with the Soul Saint led by Shenfeng Academy to act alone.
Although the short-term loss of her sub-core will not cause any serious problems; if it is missing for a long time, the pressure on the other sub-cores and the main core will suddenly increase.
They are soul masters, right...
But they are also human!
People will get tired.
No soul master can fight endlessly.
especially...
Still in this kind of high-intensity, long-lasting battle, where even the slightest carelessness will lead to death, it is even more impossible to fight endlessly!
Hearing Liu Erlong's lukewarm answer, Yu Xiaogang's face became a little ugly. He was already rigid and serious, but at this moment, his face had a bit of dirt on it, which would undoubtedly make people feel sick.
But if I don’t talk about some things now, later, Yu Xiaogang is afraid that he will have no chance!
Although...
Now is not the right time.
After taking a few breaths, Yu Xiaogang calmed down his boiling blood, and then looked at Liu Erlong with a serious face and deep affection.
"Erlong, with my cultivation, I probably won't be able to break out today; therefore, I feel that I can finally tell you what I have been hiding for many years..."
"Erlong, I like..."
"Like shit!"
A soul emperor who had just finished resting and was injured and ready to play again heard Yu Xiaogang's affectionate confession and couldn't help but rush up and give this bastard a hard fight; then, with a bit of anger, he fiercely
It was useless to kick him. The master, who still looked confused, shouted angrily:
"If your cultivation is not good enough, hide away! If you still have enough energy, send more supplies and take care of the wounded!"
"If you are not afraid of death, there will be a shortage of people in several battlefields. Even if your cultivation level is low, you can rush forward even as a human shield!"
"I'm not doing anything, I'm still here playing affectionate..."
"It's okay to be affectionate, and disturb this soul saint from recovering his soul power..."
"Now that we can hold on, it's not your turn to confess nonsense here!"
"If we can't hold on by then, it's also the reason why you confessed at any time and held back one of our main combat forces, causing the defense line to break down!"
"What kind of master?"
"Ah!!! Oops!!!"
One kick after another, getting more and more angry.
Fortunately, the injured Soul Emperor was still rational and did not forget his mission. After spraying wildly, he added a final kick, then hurriedly spit and prepared to leave.
But I didn't expect...
He can't leave anymore!
The crisp sound of the machine suddenly sounded, covered up by the sound of wind and rain.
But some things cannot be concealed!
His body trembled, and the soul emperor's eyes narrowed slightly. He stopped abruptly and showed an expression of disbelief. Then he slowly lowered his head and looked at the crossbow arrow that pierced his chest.
On the arrowhead, dark green venom was stained with red blood.
The dark green venom mixed with blood slowly fell to the ground along with the rain falling from the sky, creating a mud spot.
It seems to be mourning, and it also seems to be ashamed...
The Soul Emperor opened his mouth and murmured, as if he wanted to say something; his palms firmly grasped the arrow shaft that pierced the heart, as if this action could forcibly give him power.
I don't know whether this action really gave him a certain amount of strength, or whether it was the strength brought by his unwillingness to reflect back on the past. His hand holding the arrow shaft suddenly stopped, and it was mixed with all his soul power, and it was heartbreaking.
The roar of cracking lungs sounded!
Through the rain curtain!
Through the breeze!
Passed through this noisy and shocking sound of fighting!
"alert!!!"
Whether it was the soul masters in the rest area or the soul masters fighting on various battlefields, they all heard this cry full of pathos.
Subconsciously walking in this direction, I saw a soul emperor with a crossbow on his chest who had lost his life and was unconsciously falling towards the mud ahead.
Snapped...
The sound of the corpse falling was not loud.
But it was enough to make all the soul masters hear this voice in a daze...
It is enough to ignite the anger of all soul masters!
what is this?!
what is this?!
This soul emperor did not die in the hands of the soul beast...
But he died in the hands of his own people?!
What a joke!!!
Several soul masters who seemed to have a good relationship with the soul emperor rushed over and slowly helped the soul emperor up with red eyes.
But it's a pity...
Whether it was the venom or the fatal injuries, this Soul Emperor was destined to lose his life.
Especially after he gave up his defense and used his remaining soul power to shout those words...
There is no possibility of salvation!
"Who...who is it!!!"
“Find it out!!!”
At first, only the soul masters surrounding the soul emperor's body were shouting; but after just a moment, the sound spread instantly.
Whether it was the soul masters in the rest area or the soul masters in the middle of a battle, even though some soul masters were incompetent, they still shouted these words in cooperation!
From an emotional perspective...
No human soul master wants to be stabbed in the back by his teammates!
Especially backstabbing with a crossbow, an extremely despicable weapon!
not to mention...
They fought bloody battles on the front line, not just to be stabbed in the back when they returned!
This Soul Emperor is indeed a little careless.
But this is not the reason for the murderer to take action!
If he was stabbed in the back from time to time, who would dare to fight like this?
And from a logical point of view...
Do you understand what it means to take the overall situation into consideration?
After fighting all day and night, everyone's nerves were tense, but at this time something unexpected happened, and it was the perfect trigger for a soul emperor to be assassinated by a crossbow...
To be honest, if Shui Feng hadn't known that the soul beast couldn't use crossbows, he would have doubted whether this was a divorce plan on the part of the soul beast!
Therefore, regardless of emotion or reason, the murderer must be severely punished!
This is the prerequisite to ensure that this soul master team can continue to support!
Trust is something that is hard to build but easy to break.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the raging anger in his heart, Shui Feng, who was still fighting, glanced at the faces of everyone in the crowd, and then quickly found the person who looked wrong.
Oh, no.
It should be a young soul master with a strange expression!
Of course, it doesn't mean that the young soul master's face changed drastically or turned pale, nor does it mean that the young soul master still holds the murderous weapon.
Because of...
In the rest area, all the soul masters scanned the people around them with wary expressions; only this young soul master's expression was extremely calm.
It's just like...
It’s like he’s not afraid of others attacking and killing him!
The corners of Shui Feng's eyes twitched violently. She behaved so abnormally. Do you really think that she, a Contra with too much distraction, couldn't notice it?
So, she calmly ordered:
"Bing'er, Yue'er, go and capture that soul master! Don't be careless!"
The reason why it was "captured" rather than executed was mainly because she was not sure whether the young soul master was the murderer.
If the young soul master is executed forcibly based on his cry of injustice, although it can ensure that the team stabilizes in a short period of time, if the same incident happens again...
Then there is really no way to save the day!
Attack and kill, unjust killing.
Add the two together, and the end of this team's disintegration is just around the corner!
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, Shui Feng adopted this method that still had room for improvement.
But I didn't expect...
As if he sensed something was wrong, the young man suddenly hid in the crowd with a few flashes of light and an afterimage!
Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er, who had just seen their target getting ready to start, could only look at each other blankly because they lost their target, and then subconsciously looked at Shui Feng.
Fortunately, Shui Feng never took his eyes away from the young soul master. While his expression was slightly cold, he was also sure of the identity of the murderer.
But she did not send Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er out again. Instead, she turned around and said calmly to the vice-president of Shenfeng Academy next to her:
"Buy me a minute, let me catch that beast with my own hands, and then deal with it."
After hearing this, the vice president of Kamikaze Academy nodded without saying a word.
He knows.
Shui Feng took action just to be on the safe side.
After all, a soul emperor has been assassinated. Even if the soul emperor was defenseless, it was enough to show that the murderer's concealment methods and attack abilities were extremely good.
but...
If a Contra takes action personally, no matter how good the killer's attack ability is, he will not be able to create any waves in the palm of a Contra!
This is an upright crushing in terms of strength!
While thinking this, the vice president of Kamikaze Academy took the initiative and stopped the 80,000-year-old soul beast that Shui Feng had been facing.
But the truth is often surprising.
Before Shui Feng arrived, the people around the young soul master were alert and isolated the young man who had rushed in.
Although it is very rude...
But it is indeed isolated!
"Catch it! It's the murderer!"
I don't know who it was, but suddenly shouted in the crowd.
In short, many soul masters rushed forward, including some injured soul masters.
However, there were still a few soul masters who remained rational; they did not rush forward, but instead watched the surroundings vigilantly, as if they suspected that there must be something fishy about this matter.
But soon, when those flying needles came towards their faces, causing many soul masters to be directly hit, these soul masters who were taking a wait-and-see approach could no longer sit still.
"The thief still dares to resist!"
