Chapter 153 The Holy Angel Ye Guyi and the Holy Spirit Women's Executive Team
Yu Mengdi, the Angelic Soul King who was defeated by Kong Tianxu in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, actually went to the Sun Moon Empire alone after graduation.
After several twists and turns, she stumbled into the sights of the Holy Spirit Cult by relying on the scattered clues left by Kong Tianxu.
Because of the uniqueness of her martial spirit and her inexplicable and unwavering faith in Kong Tianxu, she quickly stood out in the first batch of training courses for cadres of the Holy Spirit Cult and became the leader in everyone's eyes.
Upon discovering Tang Ya's disappearance, she acted decisively, simultaneously arranging for personnel to report to headquarters and remain on standby, while deciding to personally go to search for D.
To her surprise, in addition to the always enthusiastic Nan Qiuqiu volunteering, Yan Guyi, whose origins were unknown and who was mostly taciturn, also expressed his willingness to go along.
For some reason, although both were Soul Kings, Yan Guyi was only a Soul Master, and his Martial Soul didn't seem to be the powerful type, Yu Mengdi, who was confident in his Angel Martial Soul, could still feel a strange pressure and threat from him.
"I'm sorry, Sister Mengdi—" Tang Ya's voice choked with sobs, her eyes darting away, "I just, I just wanted to go back and take one last look, just one more look. Tang Clan, that's my home."
"Home?" Yu Mengdi interrupted her cruelly. "Xiaoya, wake up! From the moment you revealed your evil martial spirit, you can never go back to that home. I don't believe you didn't see the Evil Knight's wanted poster along the way. In everyone's eyes, you are already an evil spirit master."
"Evil Soul Master".
This word, like a poisoned ice pick, pierced Tang Ya's heart with wolfish ferocity, instantly draining her of all color and causing her to stop breathing. The identity she had deliberately suppressed and temporarily forgotten in the eerie atmosphere of the Holy Spirit Cult was ruthlessly and completely torn apart by Yu Mengdi.
Yes, with her hands stained with blood and her martial spirit growing stronger by devouring life—what right does she have to return to the Tang Sect, even the broken one?
Seeing her expression, Yu Mengdi's tone softened: "Let's go quickly, Xiaoya. We don't know when those people will..."
"Thump, thump, thump"
Heavy, rhythmic footsteps echoed from both ends of the alley, like a death knell, interrupting Yu Mengdi's conversation.
Several dark figures blocked the way like iron towers. They were covered in heavy armor, and their eyes were cold beneath their face shields. Various soul rings swirled silently at their feet, and their cold killing intent was almost tangible.
"So fast? Be careful, it's the Slaughtering Knights of the Heavenly Soul Empire, who specialize in hunting down evil soul masters." Yu Mengdi warned in a deep voice, his angelic wings unfurling behind him, a flash of golden light, and two holy swords were already in his hands. "Judging from their aura, they're the elite among them. Xiaoya, you probably revealed your presence when you used your martial soul on the way."
Faced with Yu Mengdi's dazzling and holy angelic martial spirit, the Slaughter Knights visibly paused for a moment, but their long-term training and iron discipline allowed them to recover instantly. They shifted formation, like cold killing machines, and surrounded her with an aura of crushing everything in their path.
Looking around, they were all Soul King level experts. Moreover, their armor was shimmering with a faint golden light, clearly indicating that it was also a kind of soul tool.
However, this configuration seems rather inadequate for Yu Mengdi's side.
With a low shout, Yu Mengdi unleashed five perfectly matched spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—in an instant. The first three spirit rings flashed one after another, and a pair of golden lightsabers instantly drew a complete cross in the air. The wings on his back spread out, radiating a strong golden halo that flowed into the cross.
A melodious and graceful song rang out from the cross, and a dazzling golden light, imbued with a holy aura, rushed straight towards the armored man before her. Faced with this attack, the man was once again shocked. By the time he reacted, Yu Mengdi's Holy Radiance Cross Slash, enhanced by her third soul skill, Angel's Blessing, was already descending upon him.
Almost instinctively, the man quickly slapped a joint on his armor. Instantly, a hazy golden light enveloped his entire body, making him look like a degraded version of Yu Mengdi.
Judging from his movements, he was actually trying to withstand Yu Mengdi's attack head-on.
Without a doubt, his life was tragic.
The once invincible golden light was instantly broken through by Yu Mengdi's Holy Radiance Cross Slash. Amidst the teeth-grinding metallic scraping sound, Yu Mengdi's sacred twin swords danced like leaves in a whirlwind. The Soul King's breastplate shattered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he flew backward.
The other armored men didn't fare much better. Behind Yu Mengdi, the white-robed man who never removed his hood wielded a three-foot-three-inch-long, gleaming gold seven-star longsword. In the hazy sword shadow, the power of the level-five melee soul tool was perfectly displayed, crippling the Soul King he was facing.
She looked younger than Yu Mengdi, but she also had five spirit rings in the best possible configuration and was a spirit master. No wonder Yu Mengdi valued her so much.
As for Nan Qiuqiu, with only a four-ring Soul Master cultivation level, she finished the battle the fastest. Facing that weak Soul King with an elemental martial soul, her Annihilation Hand quickly absorbed all of the opponent's soul power.
With only one Soul King left, Tang Ya defeated him using only the poisoned hidden weapons of the Tang Clan. However, Tang Ya's face was even paler than that of the Evil Knight who had been hit by the poisoned needle, and she looked completely disoriented.
In the blink of an eye, the battle was over. The four evil knights lay sprawled in the alleyway, their speed exceeding even Nan Qiuqiu and the others' expectations.
"This is what they call a Slaughter Knight? Not so great." Nan Qiuqiu knocked the last Slaughter Knight unconscious with her fallen helmet, then clapped her hands triumphantly.
Yu Mengdi also felt that the battle ended too easily. You must know that these Soul Kings are by no means simple. They belong to the One Slaughter Evil Knights, an organization specially established by the Heavenly Soul Empire to adjudicate evil soul masters. Not only are they all fearless, but each of them wears specially made level three defensive soul tools with their own power of light, which has a strong restraining effect on most evil soul masters. That's why some of them subconsciously activated their armor defenses to face Yu Mengdi's attack.
Even if it was because of his angelic light power and Soul King cultivation that he caught the opponent off guard, it shouldn't be that simple.
But she didn't think much of it; getting out of this dangerous place as quickly as possible was the priority. The commotion from their fight just now was quite significant. "Something's not right." Just then, Ye Guyi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. A faint golden light flashed in her eyes.
"Commander Niu is truly experienced. These young girls are so young, yet they have two Soul Kings and two Soul Masters. If we attack hastily, they might actually manage to slip away with one or two of them."
It was the same alley, but there was no one on the ground. The heavily armored Slaughter Knights stood motionless at the four corners. Yu Mengdi and the others emanated strong soul power, yet they stood there blankly like scarecrows.
Ten meters away from them, the tall, middle-aged man from the restaurant was emitting a dazzling black light from his sixth and seventh soul rings, silencing the entire alley. He looked surprised and spoke to the old man beside him.
The old man beside him was not tall, but he appeared strong and muscular. He wore a set of black armor similar to that of ordinary evil knights, but much thicker, and he could still carry it off. Only his head was exposed, and his long white eyebrows hung down on both sides of his jawbone, making him look like a fierce and menacing god.
The old man was expressionless, his gaze beneath his white eyebrows sharp as a hawk's, fixed on Tang Ya with undisguised hatred and icy killing intent.
"Heh, Commander Xue, you may not know this," the old man said in a deep voice. "After my entire family was slaughtered by evil spirit masters when I was young, I joined the Knights of Evil Slaughter and have been dealing with these things for decades. Their bizarre methods are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine, and we must be wary. These are lessons learned at the cost of our lives."
"Yes, it's really hard to imagine."
Looking at the four or five perfectly matched spirit rings on Nan Qiuqiu and the others, the middle-aged man felt as if he were living in a dream. What shocked him even more was the angelic martial spirit that Yu Mengdi displayed.
The owner of a Light attribute martial soul, and such a powerful one at that, is actually getting involved with an evil spirit master. Has the world gone mad, or has he gone mad?
He shook his head and said with a chuckle, "Commander Niu, this little bitch with the evil spirit is naturally yours to deal with. But the three girls who came later don't seem to have that stench of an evil spirit master. What do you think—"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but lewdly laugh. Yu Mengdi and the others were all top-notch in appearance and figure, and their unique temperaments were especially alluring to him. Moreover, since they had hooked up with the evil soul master, no one would protect them. As long as the old man beside him nodded, they could very well fall into his hands afterward.
The old man he called Commander Niu scoffed, saying, "What good stuff can someone who hangs out with evil spirit masters have? You can pick it up yourself later. But Xue Ningye, I must remind you, that youngest girl looks like she's from the Earth Dragon Sect, and she even possesses the Earth Dragon Sect's inherited martial soul, the Crimson Dragon. You'd better be careful. Besides, the fact that an evil spirit master slaughtered an entire family in Heaven Dou City has already enraged His Majesty. Now that we've stumbled upon someone by sheer luck, do you really think your rambling illusion is reliable?"
"Don't worry!" Xue Ningye's spirit ring shone even brighter after receiving the promise. "My sixth spirit skill, Velvet Dream, is a mental attack. Combined with my Martial Soul True Body, even a Soul Saint of the same level would find it hard to escape. Dealing with these little girls will be a piece of cake."
He then clicked his tongue regretfully, "It's such a waste to kill such a beautiful girl after only a few times."
Before the words were even finished, a sudden change occurred!
Surrounded by milky-white soul power, Ye Guyi's eyes suddenly turned a dazzling gold, echoing her divine aura. The tip of her Seven Star Sword swung upwards sharply, and the seven golden stars on the blade blazed brightly, the intense golden light carrying a layer of holy white halo that spread out with a thunderous roar!
Immediately afterwards, the holy golden-white light struck the people around her. Yu Mengdi felt her mind suddenly clear, and then she was horrified to find that the surroundings had suddenly become very quiet, and the sounds that should have been on the street had quietly disappeared at the same time.
The scenery before them seemed to be veiled by a thin gauze, and everything became unclear at this moment. When their vision returned to normal, a middle-aged man who was staring in disbelief and an old man with white eyebrows and cold black armor suddenly appeared.
It was indeed a trap.
Ye Guyi's heart sank. She had sensed something was wrong when she was fighting those evil knights. As the only soul master among them, she knew best how difficult armor-type soul tools were to deal with, but the fact that they broke through their defenses so easily made her suspicious.
As the possessor of the Holy Angel Martial Soul, her mental strength was already stronger than that of ordinary Soul Masters. Moreover, controlling the power of holiness required a strong will. With the help of the holy attribute, she finally broke through Xue Ningye's Velvet Dream.
Is this holy light imbued with sacred energy?
Xue Ningye was shocked. Could it be that among these people who mingled with evil soul masters, there were also those with rare divine attributes?
A hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, then he snorted coldly and tapped his finger. Several evil knights who were like iron towers surrounding the exit tightened their encirclement.
"A holy angel? That's understandable given your light attribute, since there are those who have fallen into darkness. But you're a holy attribute, so how come you're with an evil spirit master?"
Ye Guyi took a deep breath, feeling the powerful pressure emanating from the seven soul rings on Xue Ningye's body, and knew that her identity could no longer be hidden.
Her joining the Holy Spirit Cult was purely by chance. Initially, she was simply curious about this sect that appeared around Mingdu, claiming to be dedicated to helping civilians. Later, through the Ordinary Alliance, one of the three major underground forces in Mingdu, she learned that the Holy Spirit Cult was actually the organization behind the Evil Soul Master's stronghold, the Evening Water Alliance. Driven by the desire to investigate why this Evil Soul Master organization had changed so drastically, she joined the Holy Spirit Cult under the alias Yan Gu Yi, with the encouragement of various factions.
When she first entered, she wanted to uncover whether there was some kind of conspiracy, but she gradually discovered that this Holy Spirit Cult seemed to have truly abandoned evil and embraced good.
Yu Mengdi is the best example. Under normal circumstances, evil spirit masters would definitely kill any angel-type martial spirit they see. But she dared to openly display her power of light everywhere, which made Ye Guyi, who had always been careful to conceal her holy angel martial spirit, tremble with fear, afraid that one day this silly girl would be eaten by an evil spirit master who revealed her true colors.
And then—Yu Mengdi just swaggered around like that until now, and even her mind became muddled, actually putting herself in such a dangerous situation for the sake of an evil soul master.
It seems that it is impossible to continue investigating that mysterious Holy Emperor.
Ye Guyi kept complaining in her heart, but her hands gripping the longsword tightened more and more, even turning a little white.
At that moment, her soul seemed to reach an extremely intense level, and the golden-white light emanating from her entire body illuminated the entire alley.
At the same time, two pure white wings appeared on her back. She pointed her longsword forward, and a powerful sword aura enveloped the seven-star sword in her hand.
"Senior, although her martial soul has an evil aura, I can guarantee with my own Holy Angel martial soul that her nature is absolutely kind. I hope you can be merciful and spare their lives!"
A holy angel? It's actually a holy angel!
Ye Guyi's holy face moved Yu Mengdi. Her shock was even greater than that of the person opposite her. She finally realized where the faint pressure she had been feeling from Ye Guyi came from. She couldn't help but lower her voice and ask, "Yan Guyi, who exactly are you? Your martial soul is fake, and your name isn't fake either, is it?"
"What a joke! An evil spirit master is an evil spirit master. As long as their martial spirit contains even a trace of evil, they will inevitably fall into depravity. You who protect evil spirits and collude with them are despicable!"
A deep, almost mocking roar came from the old man's mouth. His short, stocky body suddenly swelled up, not in its entirety, but horizontally. A pair of thick, curved, three-foot-long, sharp bull horns burst from his forehead. His muscles bulged, making his heavy armor creak and rattle. His exposed skin was bronze, the same color as his black armor, as if cast from bronze and iron.
Two yellow, two purple, and three black—seven optimally matched spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.
Xue Ningye's expression was extremely ugly. Her black wings flapped behind her, and she flew into the air. Her fifth spirit ring lit up, and a black light containing terrifying mental fluctuations began to brew. It was obviously a powerful attack spirit skill.
"Yu Mengdi, it seems things won't end well today. I'll tell you about my situation later if there's a chance. First, think about how to get out of here!"
Ye Guyi gritted her teeth and whispered to Yu Mengdi, her golden-white soul power already pushed to its limit.
Despite both being Soul Saints, this old man gave Ye Guyi a completely different feeling than Xue Ningye. If she still had a chance to break through with her own strength against a Soul Saint like Xue Ningye whose aura was relatively weak, then facing two Soul Saints and those covetous Soul King-level Evil Knights, she was already somewhat desperate.
What she didn't know was that the old man's martial spirit was called the Bronze Bull. It didn't sound like a particularly imposing name, but among bull-type martial spirits, it was a truly top-tier existence. The old man himself was even a direct descendant of a major sect, but due to certain special reasons, he ended up in the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Yu Mengdi was filled with endless doubts, but now was clearly not the time to ask questions. She exchanged a solemn glance with Nan Qiuqiu, her eyes also showing determination, and her soul power was ready to be unleashed.
Even in such a situation, they never considered abandoning Tang Ya and running away for their own lives. But everyone knew that their chances of survival were slim.
That's enough.
Tang Ya bit her lower lip and walked to the front of the line, trembling all over. She knew the attitude of the Soul Master world towards evil Soul Masters, but when it really happened to her, she understood the suffocation and heaviness.
"Senior, all of this trouble started because of me." Her voice was soft, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly. "I admit it, I am an evil spirit master. My martial spirit has devoured lives, and I am willing to bear all the consequences and accept whatever punishment I may receive."
She took a deep breath, her eyes glistening with tears, yet filled with relief and pleading: "I only beg you to consider that they are all normal Soul Masters, and to consider Sister Gu's Sacred Martial Soul—please let them go. I, Tang Ya, will bear all the blame!"
She closed her eyes and offered her neck for execution.
However, she was met with an even colder sneer from the old man and Xue Ningye's undisguised mockery.
"Should I take full responsibility?" Xue Ningye chuckled maliciously in the air. "What I want are the three little girls behind you!"
Commander Niu's eyes remained unmoved: "Your life was meant to be taken! And theirs—" He swept his gaze across Yu Mengdi, Ye Guyi, and Nan Qiuqiu, "—To associate with evil is to sever oneself from humanity! Today, none of you will escape! Kill!"
The black-armored knights around silently stepped forward, their weapons gleaming coldly, their intense killing intent weaving into a net, chilling to the bone.
Not a single one can escape!
Her last hope was utterly shattered. Tang Ya's body trembled violently. She opened her eyes, her gaze filled with utter despair and sorrow. It turned out that the world wouldn't even give someone like her a chance for redemption.
"Moo—!"
The old man roared, his first, third, and seventh spirit rings gleaming, his eyes bloodshot, and the power of the raging bull erupting. A deep rumble instantly erupted from his feet. In his Martial Soul True Body state, he was like an out-of-control war chariot, charging towards Ye Guyi with a ferocious aura that could crush everything!
The solid blue iron rock ground beneath his feet cracked and crumbled.
Black light pulsed in Xue Ningye's palm, poised to strike, a cruel yet expectant smile on her face.
The evil knights closed in like tightening iron hoops, advancing step by step.
Ye Guyi's holy light burned to its peak, her wings unfurled, ready to unleash her final burst of power. Yu Mengdi and Nan Qiuqiu gathered their soul power, prepared for a desperate fight. Tang Ya let out a bitter laugh, her dark blue vines coiling like giant snakes, her fingertips gripping several of the most poisonous hidden weapons, her pupils already a deathly dark blue.
Just a moment before Commander Niu's horns, powerful enough to crush mountains, were about to touch Ye Guyi's holy light, they seemed to freeze.
A glimmer of light appeared in the sky.
Xue Ningye's smile froze abruptly. The black light in his palm, aimed at Ye Guyi, was as if gripped by an invisible giant hand, strangely and uncontrollably deflecting abruptly. "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"
With a series of muffled thuds, the bodies of several evil knights stiffened abruptly, and dark red blood gushed out like streams from the gaps in their thick visors, before they collapsed to the ground without a sound.
Then, to everyone's utter horror, Xue Ningye, suspended in mid-air, had her head smashed like a watermelon shattered by a heavy hammer—
"Bang!"
A deafening explosion! Red and white substances splattered everywhere!
The bull commander, who was charging wildly, felt an irresistible force coming from the top of his head. His forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, and a heart-wrenching pain came from the base of his horns, which were harder than steel, as if they were about to be uprooted!
Where all eyes were focused, a figure silently appeared before Commander Niu's Martial Soul True Body, which filled the entire alley.
Her silver hair flowed like moonlight, fluttering gently in the wind.
He didn't even exert full force; he simply pressed one hand lightly on the raging bull's head, his five fingers slightly clenched, as if an invisible shackle had been placed, firmly pinning the ferocious bronze bull, along with the overwhelming aura of its Soul Saint master, to the spot.
Unable to move.
"Lord—Holy Emperor!" Yu Mengdi was overjoyed.
