With the two Titled Douluo heavily injured and fleeing, the remaining personnel were in even greater trouble.
Now, the Spirit Hall Soul Masters had no way forward and pursuers behind them, a truly desperate situation.
However, the Spirit Hall Soul Masters' quality was indeed high. They disregarded their Soul Power consumption and desperately charged at the thousand Soul Masters brought by Niu Gao, fully searching for openings to break through.
Although the thousand Soul Masters of the Body Sect were powerful in combat, for the overall situation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they were simply unable to encircle and annihilate so many people from Spirit Hall.
Serpent Spear Douluo's heart hardened, and he once again activated his seventh soul skill: Serpent Spear True Body, wanting to carve out a bloody path for everyone.
Niu Gao wouldn't let them escape so easily. He stood firm like a single man guarding a pass, blocking the retreat route of the Spirit Hall group.
Seeing Serpent Spear Douluo charging straight at him, Niu Gao also activated his Martial Soul True Body, transforming into a massive Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros. Especially the terrifying defense of the Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros, even Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't break through it.
At this moment, Serpent Spear Douluo's Martial Soul actually mutated. The originally massive Serpent Spear now transformed into two strange serpents, seemingly trying to entangle Niu Gao's Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros.
Serpent Spear Douluo was a rare Titled Douluo on the entire Douluo Continent with a thousand-year Fifth Soul Ring. His Martial Soul, the Serpent Spear, was an extremely rare top-tier Martial Soul.
The Serpent Spear not only possessed the powerful attack of a Tool Martial Soul but also the amplification ability of a Beast Martial Soul, making it a supreme quality. Otherwise, with Serpent Spear Douluo's foundation, it would have been impossible for him to break through to Titled Douluo.
One must know that in the entire Douluo world, Serpent Spear Douluo was the only Titled Douluo whose fifth ring was purple. While Lin Gong and Dragon Duke also had thousand-year fifth soul rings, if it weren't for Yang Xiong's Immortal Herb, these two would have had no chance of breaking through to Titled Douluo.
This shows the high quality of Serpent Spear Douluo's Martial Soul and his outstanding talent.
Of course, Dragon Duke's Dragon Head Crutch could also possess both Tool Martial Soul and Beast Martial Soul attributes, but its Martial Soul quality seemed to be slightly inferior to Serpent Spear Douluo's.
Serpent Spear Douluo knew the danger facing the Spirit Hall army at this moment and pushed his Martial Soul, the Serpent Spear, to its limit.
However, the Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros that Niu Gao transformed into, even when entangled by the strange serpents, was as hard as iron all over its body and completely unaffected by Serpent Spear Douluo's attacks.
Just as Serpent Spear Douluo was preparing to use all his strength to break through Niu Gao's defense, a sword light suddenly enveloped the entire world. A massive Seven Kill Sword descended from the sky, seemingly giving Serpent Spear Douluo no chance of survival.
Originally, Sword Douluo was only meant to contain Serpent Spear Douluo. Now, after Serpent Spear Douluo caused a ruckus in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he actually still wanted to run, which was simply wishful thinking.
Serpent Spear Douluo was immediately shocked. With Niu Gao blocking the front and Sword Douluo pursuing from behind, the situation was extremely dangerous.
Serpent Spear Douluo gritted his teeth, and his ninth soul ring flashed. Immediately, the Serpent Spear in his hand transformed into countless strange serpents. All the strange serpents, like poisonous thorns, rapidly attacked Sword Douluo and Niu Gao. Especially the strange aura emanating from the strange serpents, it seemed to possess some kind of potent poison.
Sword Douluo snorted coldly, "How dare you invade my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and still think of running? You're simply tired of living."
Sword Douluo held the Seven Kill Sword, and his ninth soul ring immediately flashed. He unleashed a full-strength slash, and the entire world seemed to tremble. A terrifying Sword Qi flew out directly from the sky, as if tearing apart the heavens and splitting the earth. It was precisely Sword Douluo's ninth soul skill: God Demon Two Slashes.
Serpent Spear Douluo's eyes were filled with despair at this moment. The countless strange serpents attacking Sword Douluo and Niu Gao were directly sliced into pieces by Sword Douluo's Sword Qi.
Niu Gao also roared loudly, directly activating his ninth soul skill: Absolute Defense - Heaven Collapse and Earth Crack. The surrounding space seemed to merge with the Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros, making it impossible for Serpent Spear Douluo to escape even with all his strength.
Ultimately, Sword Douluo's God Demon Two Slashes directly severed Serpent Spear Douluo's Martial Soul, the Serpent Spear. Serpent Spear Douluo's entire body was even cut in half, and it was as if a rain of blood fell from the sky.
Only then did Serpent Spear Douluo collapse, his breath weak. This was the first Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall to fall, and the person with the highest Soul Power level to die in this war so far.
Pufferfish Douluo in the distance was immediately shocked. Now, out of the four Titled Douluo, two had already fled, and Serpent Spear Douluo had fallen. It seemed he was the one who reacted relatively slowly, surrounded by powerful enemies.
Yang Wudi snorted coldly, "A waste like you, since you've come, don't even think about running away. Today is your doomsday."
All of Yang Wudi's soul rings flashed. In that instant, all his soul skills were stacked together, and the attack power of the Soul Breaking Spear seemed to reach its peak.
All of the Breaking Clan's soul rings were offensive soul skills. Especially according to the Breaking Clan's secret technique, when fighting with all their might, they could use all their soul ring skills simultaneously.
As Yang Wudi's soul rings flashed one by one, all the offensive soul skills were stacked onto the Soul Breaking Spear, and its power seemed to reach its limit.
Pufferfish Douluo had fought with Yang Wudi for so long that he naturally understood Yang Wudi's strength. At this moment, Yang Wudi using eight soul skills simultaneously was definitely a desperate move.
Seeing the Spirit Hall forces desperately fleeing, Pufferfish Douluo also pushed his strength to the limit. His seventh and ninth soul rings simultaneously flashed, instantly transforming him into a giant Thorn Blood Pufferfish. The Thorn Blood Pufferfish emitted a terrifying red light, and a blood-red beam shot directly towards Yang Wudi. Under the shroud of the red light, ordinary people and plants instantly turned to ash.
This was Pufferfish Douluo's full-power ninth soul skill: Pufferfish Overlord Poison.
But Yang Wudi had pushed his Soul Breaking Spear to the extreme. With a single thrust, Yang Wudi's killing intent and soul power condensed on the Soul Breaking Spear. The massive Soul Breaking Spear seemed to tear space apart, directly piercing through Pufferfish Douluo's ninth soul skill.
Even with Pufferfish Douluo's full power, the giant Thorn Blood Pufferfish was directly pierced by the Soul Breaking Spear.
By the time Pufferfish Douluo returned to his normal body, the massive Soul Breaking Spear had pierced through his shoulder, making it seem as if his entire body had been completely impaled.
At this moment, Pufferfish Douluo gritted his teeth: "You Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect bastards, I have been humiliated here today. Sooner or later, I will make you pay."
Pufferfish Douluo endured the intense pain from his body and rapidly retreated, forcefully pulling his body off the Soul Breaking Spear.
But before he could turn around and prepare to leave, his eyes were filled with shock, even terror.
Because after turning around, what greeted Pufferfish Douluo's eyes was a giant Bone Dragon. This Bone Dragon was nearly dozens of meters long, its massive dragon wings seemingly covering the sky and sun, and its huge dragon head emitted an extremely terrifying light from its mouth.
This was Bone Douluo's ninth soul skill: Bone Dragon Transformation. Now that the enemy had collapsed, both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo could attack with full force. In fact, they no longer needed to protect Ning Fengzhi.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, standing in the center of the plaza, laughed loudly: "Anyone who offends my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must pay the price. All disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, kill the enemies as much as possible."
The Bone Dragon Transformation's dragon head emitted a terrifying light, directly piercing through Pufferfish Douluo's body. Under this terrifying attack, Pufferfish Douluo's entire body gradually turned to ash.
Thus, two of the four Titled Douluo who had attacked from Spirit Hall this time were dead, and the other two were severely wounded and desperately fleeing.
If the previous battles had the support of Titled Douluo, Spirit Hall might have been able to barely hold on.
At this moment, the core of Spirit Hall had been completely defeated. Everyone had completely lost their backbone, and the original retreat had turned into a rout.
The disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also became incredibly fierce at this moment, preparing to desperately pursue and kill the Spirit Hall attackers.
Especially Niu Gao, who had just led 1000 Soul Masters onto the battlefield and hadn't even had much of a chance to perform. How could he let the enemy easily escape?
The Single Attribute Families and Spirit Hall had a deep-seated blood feud. The battle of the Clear Sky Sect back then caused heavy losses to the three great families, especially the Breaking Clan, which had less than 100 people left in the end. It had taken many years for them to gradually develop again.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were red with rage, filled with hatred, desperately killing the enemies to take revenge.
These people from Spirit Hall were instantly like startled lambs, desperately fleeing without regard for the main gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or other directions. As long as they could escape, that was all that mattered.
Thus, Spirit Hall's ten-thousand-strong Soul Master army suffered an unprecedented rout. It was unknown how many would truly escape, or how many would be able to return to Spirit Hall.
After all, after this rout, these ten thousand people were like monkeys scattering when the tree falls.
Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi, Lin Gong, and Bone Douluo came to Yang Xiong's side. At this moment, Yang Xiong looked extremely miserable. Not only was his soul power completely exhausted, but his entire body was covered in wounds, most of his bones were broken, and he was covered in blood.
If Yang Xiong's body hadn't been strong enough and he hadn't possessed multiple high-quality soul bones, he would have probably perished from that attack just now.
Ning Fengzhi quickly arranged for healing Soul Masters to treat Yang Xiong. He even wanted to use his Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to provide auxiliary amplification to Yang Xiong.
However, whether it was the healing ability of the healing Soul Masters or the auxiliary light of the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, they were all repelled after entering Yang Xiong's body.
Ning Fengzhi quickly asked: "What is going on? Why can't we treat Yang Xiong?"
The healing Soul Master shook his head: "Reporting to Sect Leader, Yang Xiong seems to be very resistant to my healing ability. I feel like his body is recovering automatically."
At this moment, Yang Xiong's body looked extremely strange. His entire body emitted a blood-red light, and countless golden patterns appeared on him. Even anyone trying to approach him was repelled.
Ning Fengzhi's group found it strange. They had never seen Yang Xiong in such a state before. His body could actually heal itself. One had to know that with the way Yang Xiong fought, others would either die directly or be severely injured and disabled.
"Huh, what's going on here?"
Lin Gong seemed to notice something unusual and couldn't help but exclaim.
Ning Fengzhi quickly asked, "Elder Lin, what exactly is happening with Yang Xiong?"
Lin Gong shook his head, "I don't know what's going on with Little Xiong right now, but have you noticed that after Little Xiong's full-strength attack just now, his soul power actually increased by one level?"
"Originally, his soul power was always level 69, but now it's actually level 70. How could his soul power increase in that situation just now?"
Everyone was immediately dumbfounded upon hearing this. Leveling up during such a life-and-death battle was a big taboo. They hadn't expected Yang Xiong to suddenly increase his soul power by one level while fighting the enemy with all his might. A normal person wouldn't dare to take such a risk.
Lin Gong carefully observed Yang Xiong for a while before speaking, "This shouldn't be Little Xiong deliberately increasing his soul power during the battle. It's more like his body was subjected to some kind of immense pressure, and under extreme suppression, a mutation occurred between his body and his martial soul's instinct, which is why his soul power increased by one level."
Ning Fengzhi became even more confused upon hearing this, "Is there a difference?"
Lin Gong said, "Of course there's a difference. Based on my many years of research, a Soul Master's soul power might increase to a certain extent under stimulation, but no one has ever experienced this at level 69."
"We are all high-level Soul Masters, and we should be clear about the gap between level 69 and level 70. A level 70 Soul Master reaches the Soul Saint level, where their martial soul, body, and spiritual power begin to merge, and only Soul Saints gain their Martial Soul True Body. This is the true qualitative change for a Soul Master."
"Considering Little Xiong's situation, I think this breakthrough is not only related to the immense pressure he endured but also to his martial soul. You should understand that the most likely time for variables to appear is between life and death. All of us top-tier Soul Masters have emerged from countless life-and-death struggles. No one can simply break through their limits easily."
