Chapter 550: None of You Can Escape

In the thick forest, seven humans mounted on their respective mounts noiselessly landed near Xiang Shaoyun's group. Each of them exuded a powerful aura. They were all peak Kings, and from the fact that they could reach this far, it meant that they were comparable to War Emperors in terms of combat prowess. The two leaders of the group were Dragon Ascension Realm cultivators. They were respectively Mu Qingyu and Wang Xin.

Mu Qingyu was mounted on an ardent blood tiger and was dressed in green and red armor. He wielded a sword and a saber, while green and red radiance swirled around his body at all times, making him look rather impressive. Cultivators wielding two different weapons were very rare, and Mu Qingyu was one of them.

Wang Xin had a mediocre appearance, with a gold band on his head and gold armor on his body. He wielded a gold hammer, and his sturdy body seemed to be filled with power and explosiveness. As for the others, there were three men and two women. Each of them similarly possessed extraordinary combat prowess. Xiang Shaoyun and company grew tense when they saw the group of newcomers.

"You can even kill a third-stage Demon Emperor lion? What a remarkable talent. If you are allowed to advance by two more stages, you will probably be able to stand up to Boss Feng. Looks like we have no choice but to eliminate you in advance!" said Mu Qingyu with a toying look on his face.

He could sense Xiang Shaoyun's exhaustion, and he could also see that the others weren't in too good of a shape either. This was the perfect opportunity to get rid of them.

Before they could attack, Tang Longfei recognized them and said, "You're Feng Xiaosha's people!"

"It's good that you're aware. At least you won't die clueless," said Mu Qingyu with a sneer. "Finish them off quickly. We still need to get going to the academy."

At his command, the six people behind him attacked.

"Let me have the head of this kid who had actually dared to kill Da Zixuan. I'll avenge him!" Wang Xin's gaze landed on Xiang Shaoyun as he roared and charged towardXiang Shaoyun like a massive bear.

Xiang Shaoyun spoke to Tang Longfei through voice transmission, "Big Brother Tang, bring the others away. I'll deal with these people."

After saying that, he unleashed the power of yin devil wind within his body, causing the pressure his body was suffering from the armor's weight to drop greatly. At the same time, he unleashed the power of the lightning bone, releasing a combination of wind and lightning around him.

Instantly, numerous hurricanes and over 100 silver lightning bolts formed before swarming Wang Xin and company. Xiang Shaoyun was actually intending to take on all seven opponents by himself, not giving anyone the chance to deal with Tang Longfei and the others.

Although Tang Longfei, Ning Wenhuang, and Lady Shura did not fear a battle with these opponents, Xiang Shaoyun had no intention of letting them waste too much time here. Their priority should be getting through the first round of the test.

In any case, there were two Emperors among their opponents and were most likely Emperors of Emperors capable of punching above their weight. To fight them all head on would waste a lot of time.

Furthermore, they had also exhausted a large amount of energy during the previous battle. A prolonged battle would not benefit them. The best solution was to use the Nether Soul Domain and end the battle as quickly as possible.

For now, Xiang Shaoyun had no intention to reveal his Nether Soul Domain. Thus, he made Tang Longfei and company leave. The storm of wind and lightning kept Mu Qingyu and company busy, but that only lasted a while. However, that was enough time for Tang Longfei and the others to flee.

Tang Longfei did not delay, "Go! Don't disturb Shaoyun's fight!"

He was not worried about Xiang Shaoyun as he knew about the nether prison devil puppet. With the puppet, dealing with these opponents wouldn't be a problem. Xiang Shaoyun had most likely told them to leave so he did not need to divert his attention to take care of them.

Lady Shura and the Han Clan sisters wanted to stay and help, but they also knew that Xiang Shaoyun was a person with numerous means at his disposal. Thus, they did not delay and retreated with Tang Longfei.

At this time, Mu Qingyi's group was finally able to scatter the storm Xiang Shaoyun created. In fact, the impact of their combined attack had even blasted Xiang Shaoyun away, causing him to crash through several trees before he came to a stop. However, Xiang Shaoyun was still alive. His armor had blocked the fatal attack.

"How tenacious. Wang Xin, finish him off. I'll chase after the others," Mu Qingyu commanded. He then prepared to head after Tang Longfei and company.

"None of you can leave," said Xiang Shaoyun as he wiped the blood off the corner of his lips, his voice murderous.

It was at this time that the Nether Soul Domain swept out and enveloped Mu Qingyu, Wang Xin, and their companions. They were trapped within the darkness before they had even realized what was happening.

"This is bad! We need to break free immediately!" Mu Qingyu exclaimed in alarm. He did not know what had happened, but he was clear that this was definitely Xiang Shaoyun's trump card. They started attacking their surroundings, trying to blast a way out.

"It's too late. None of you can escape," Xiang Shaoyun's cold voice rang out. Numerous chains then shot out and wrapped around the seven humans and their mounts.

They resisted with all their might, displaying the strength of War Emperors. Mu Qingyu and Wang Xin performed particularly well, erupting with prowess comparable to third-stage Emperors'. Alas, they were not strong enough to break free of Xiang Shaoyun's chains.

"It's a pity," Xiang Shaoyun sighed as he tightened the chains around them, squeezing them to death.

He initially wanted to subdue all of them to turn them into his servants, but he recalled that they were Feng Xiaosha's followers. If they were allowed to return, some trouble might come of it. Killing them was the safest solution. However, he found that only the five Kings and the mounts were killed. Both Mu Qingyu and Wang Xin were still alive. It seemed like the top-tier armors they wore couldn't be broken so easily.

"Th-this is the Nether Soul Domain! Y-you're a devil from the Imperial Nether Clan!" Mi Qingyu finally recognized the space and cried out in alarm. Fear covered Wang Xin's face as his heart turned cold.

"Hehe, if I'm a devil, why am I joining the Dragon Phoenix Academy? Then again, you're right. This is the Nether Soul Domain. So what other trump cards do you have left? If you don't have anything else, I'll be sending you to the afterlife," said Xiang Shaoyun in an unruffled manner. He was the overlord of this domain. Only those with soul power surpassing his could break free of his prison. Anyone else would die.

"Haha! Sure, open your eyes wide and see if I can escape! Burn!" Mu Qingyu laughed as a thick green flame erupted from his body, igniting the chains around him.

"Huh? A unique flame?" Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed in astonishment. Only unique flames with the power of extreme yang could ignite the chains in his prison.
