Chapter 123 The Golden Toad and the Light in the Corner
After completing the shaping of the soul tool shell using his first and third soul skills, Xiao Hongchen smiled faintly, and his second and fourth soul rings immediately shone.
The second soul skill allows Xiao Hongchen to draw in the metal element in the air, while the fourth soul skill allows Xiao Hongchen to actively burn the drawn metal element, releasing a huge amount of energy.
With this energy, Xiao Hongchen was able to activate 128 soul-guided cannons on his own.
Xiao Hongchen waved his hands, and the soul-guided cannons beside him automatically turned, aiming at Dai Yueheng, who was charging at the forefront. Terrifying energy condensed in the soul-guided cannons.
Just as the soul-guided cannonball was about to be fired, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the corner, heading straight for Xiao Hongchen's eyes.
Xiao Hongchen subconsciously raised his right hand to cover his eyes, but did not interrupt his soul skill. The soul cannon finally finished charging.
With a sudden swing of his free left hand, he deflected a small portion of the soul-guided cannons towards the direction from which the light was coming.
wipe!
Seeing the ball of light hurtling towards him, Huo Yuhao's face stiffened. He suddenly activated the soul-guided thrusters beside him, propelling his body toward the point that would be least affected by the calculated impact.
As Huo Yuhao sprinted forward, he also activated his mental shield. Even though he was trying his best to avoid damage, this attack still destroyed about 30% of his mental power and wiped out his simulation.
This was only the result of Xiao Hongchen's soul-guided cannons being aimed in a general direction. If Xiao Hongchen could really hit so many level-five soul-guided cannons accurately at one point, even a Soul Saint wouldn't be able to withstand it, right?
However, apart from Huo Yuhao, probably no one else could accurately fire all the soul-guided cannons at the same point.
On the other side, Dai Yueheng was also in a bad situation. Relying on Gongyang Mo's assistance and his own three-layer amplification, he confidently charged out of the Thunder Prison while staring at the attack of the thunder. However, as soon as he came out, he was directly faced with Xiao Hongchen's soul guide cannon.
Moreover, the soul-guided cannons fired at him were too dense. Even with the assistance of mental detection, he couldn't find any gaps in the explosions. He could only choose the path with the least bombardment based on the guidance of mental detection, and he had to withstand the remaining explosions by relying on the three layers of amplification.
"What should I do...?"
Once again using the simulation to conceal his presence, Huo Yuhao naturally dared not stay in place. He scrambled and crawled to another corner, keeping a close eye on Xiao Hongchen, who was displaying his divine power, as he ran.
For Xiao Hongchen's attack method, which relies heavily on line of sight, shooting a beam into the eye is indeed a good way to suppress him. However, Xiao Hongchen's counterattack after being provoked is not easy to bear either.
Previously, Xiao Hongchen had only given Huo Yuhao a little bit, and Huo Yuhao was already in such a sorry state. If this happened a few more times, and Xiao Hongchen was completely enraged and forced to point all his weapons at Huo Yuhao, then Huo Yuhao would be doomed.
"Tch~ Did you hold up?"
Seeing Dai Yueheng rushing out of the gunfire, Xiao Hongchen was extremely displeased.
If the sudden beam of light hadn't interfered with his vision, he wouldn't have missed his target. If he hadn't missed, with so many level-five soul cannons firing at him, even a defensive Soul Emperor might not have been able to withstand it.
Watching Ma Xiaotao burst out of the lightning cage one step behind Dai Yueheng, Xiao Hongchen began a new round of recharging.
Xiao Hongchen's teammates behind him were not idle either. Apart from Meng Hongchen, who was still fighting behind Ma Rulong without any presence, the other soul masters had all adjusted their breathing to activate the soul power shock caused by the soul guide shield, and took out their soul guide cannons again to prepare to fire.
Xiao Xiafeng quickly came to Ma Rulong's side and stuffed a white, round, soft thing into Ma Rulong's mouth.
Xiao Xiafeng, a food-type Soul King, whose martial soul is Steamed Bun.
All of Xiao Xiafeng's spirit rings are also for increasing his spirit power. In addition, as a food-type spirit master, his fifth spirit skill is a rare spirit power recovery skill.
Even though it can only be taken once a day, it is an extremely rare ability, and it is extremely useful for both Soul Masters and Soul Instructors.
Xiao Xiafeng is the core of the Sun and Moon Team, apart from Ma Rulong and the two oddballs, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
It is precisely because of Xiao Xiafeng's existence that the Sun and Moon Team is able to execute firepower coverage tactics in a more exaggerated manner than other Soul Master Teams.
After replenishing Ma Rulong's mana, Xiao Xiafeng stuffed a few steamed buns into his own mouth. At the same time, a series of metallic clanging sounds rang out from his body as eighty-one metal cannon barrels appeared one after another.
Beneath it was a circular base, which instantly turned towards Ma Xiaotao and locked on. Intense soul power fluctuations began to appear from the dark cannon muzzles.
Compared to that clumsy imitator, someone like Xiao Xiafeng is the most suitable user of the Soul Guidance Turret Battle Tactic.
The dark red monkey released by Ma Rulong had already rushed in front of Ma Xiaotao. Its originally thin body suddenly expanded and transformed into a giant ape over four meters tall in the blink of an eye. Its two huge fists smashed straight towards Ma Xiaotao's head.
Even though Huo Yuhao really wanted to study how Ma Rulong controlled the soul beasts, he didn't have the time to peek at the core magic array on Ma Rulong's body. Instead, he focused all his attention on how to handle this team battle.
Just as the Sun and Moon team was about to unleash another barrage of soul-guided cannon fire, several beams of light suddenly came from all directions, indiscriminately penetrating the eyes of every member of the Sun and Moon team.
"How annoying!" Xiao Hongchen roared in annoyance.
It happened again. Every time they were about to fire, a beam of light would suddenly hit their eyes, followed by a moment of inexplicable disorientation. They couldn't even control the cannon properly, causing the Sun and Moon Team's Soul Guidance Cannon accuracy to be halved.
As soon as the dazed feeling subsided, Xiao Hongchen immediately turned the soul-guided cannon that was originally aimed at Dai Yueheng sharply towards the direction from which the beam of light came. A loud boom was heard, and an area of less than 30 square meters was bombarded by more than a hundred soul-guided cannons, with an average of three soul-guided cannons falling per square meter.
The icy mist in that area was abruptly dispersed by the dense explosions, revealing the shattered floor of the Soul Arena and an ice mirror that was half melted.
Far away in another corner, Huo Yuhao silently wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
The biggest drawback of being invisible throughout the entire process is that the referee doesn't know whether he or she is in danger. The referee might not even realize that Suji has been killed by a stray bullet until blood is drawn.
By this time, the ice mist summoned by Ling Luochen had basically covered the entire Soul Arena. Except for the area within a 15-meter radius of the Sun and Moon Team, the area within the Sun and Moon Team's sight was covered by a thick layer of ice mist.
Don't be fooled by how long 15 meters is; for Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Xixi, it's just a breath away, and they can instantly rush to the Sun and Moon Team's front.
At this moment, as if they had made a pact, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng suddenly retreated into the icy mist, leaving only the defensive soul tool supported by the Sun and Moon Team within the audience's sight.
The intense competition suddenly fell silent, with only the soul-guided shield still flashing, indicating that the match was still in progress.
