Beside him, Jiang Long Douluo twitched his mouth, "They left long ago. But Qian Jun, you've told these things to these guys, are you sure we can still grab a spot in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Qianjun Douluo suddenly woke up and slapped his head, "Damn, got a little carried away for a moment and completely forgot. These guys would do anything to increase their soul power rank!"
Jiang Long Douluo was startled, "Huh?"
Qianjun Douluo glared at him irritably, "What 'huh'? Get going, or we'll be left far behind by those guys!"
Damn, if I'd known, I would've kept quiet. With our speed of cultivation, it wouldn't be long before we were the strongest below the first and second brothers!
Saying this, he couldn't be bothered with them and burst out at incredible speed, leaving...
Jiang Long Douluo, belatedly realizing, quickly reacted and followed after him, even couldn't help but curse angrily, "Qianjun! If I knew it would be like this, why did you say anything? Bah!"
...
On the other side, Jiang Qiyue spread his arms wide, excitedly pulling Long Yuxue and Jiang Wuyue into an embrace...
In a grievance-filled tone, he said, "Yuxue, brother, you finally decided to come back, leaving me alone at the Blood God Army!"
Jiang Wuyue coughed upon touching Long Yuxue's skin and discreetly pushed the former away...
"Qiyue, that's not how it is. You can also apply to the commander to join the Blood Dragon Squad!"
Jiang Qiyue, upon hearing this, was even more agitated and retorted, "Of course I know this, so I applied to the commander more than a dozen times, but each time he found an excuse to dismiss it!"
"I think the commander is deliberately being difficult with me!"
Long Yuxue gently stroked her cheek, "Qiyue, you shouldn't say that. Maybe the commander highly values your leadership abilities and is trying to keep you here!"
Jiang Qiyue snorted coldly, "That's easy to say, but now that you've come back, I'm joining the Blood Dragon Squad no matter what!"
After a pause, he continued, "If the commander still disagrees, I'll quit the Blood God Army!"
Back when the abyss seal was opened, the Blood God Army was indeed short-handed!
But now it's so calm I'd die of boredom!
Jiang Wuyue, hearing this, frowned deeply, "Qiyue, don't be so willful. If you quit the Blood God Army, you won't be able to come back for the rest of your life!"
Jiang Qiyue also got fiery, scolding, "You joined the Blood Dragon Squad, so of course you don't feel this way!"
Sima Jinchi saw the situation wasn't right and hurriedly mediated, "Well… let's all say a little less, it's hard enough to come back, we should be harmonious!"
Ma Shan also chimed in, "That's right, there's been nothing much with the Blood God Army recently. Transferring Qiyue over shouldn't be a big deal."
Jiang Qiyue realized his tone had been a bit sharp, and apologetically said, "Brother, I just… really want to be with everyone, it wasn't intentional to lash out at you!"
Jiang Wuyue softened, turned his head and didn't say anything more...
Long Yuxue smiled, "Alright then, it's getting late, let's find a place to catch up."
...
After discussing the matters of the Body Sect disciples with Mirror Douluo, Aruheng found the group by the bonfire…
Upon sitting down, he was surprised, "Hmm? Everyone's here. I was about to come find you,"
Long Yuxue looked on with curiosity, "Brother Aruheng, is the Body Sect issue resolved?"
Aruheng nodded, "Yes, the commander has agreed to let the Body Sect disciples retain their original identities while joining the Blood God Army, though they need to labor for it!"
But that's quite normal; if you want the Blood God Army's protection, naturally you have to give something in return!
....
Without waiting for Ghost Emperor to give a command, the puppets fiercely attacked Ya Li…
She gripped the Sky-Piercing Spear, infusing soul power into it, causing an eye-piercing silver glow as she slashed at the nearest puppet…
"Slash!"
The Sky-Piercing Spear smoothly sliced the puppet in half...
Just when she thought the puppets were easy to deal with, their severed bodies began to repair at a bizarre speed within seconds…
As soon as they reformed, they launched another attack on Ya Li…
"What?!!"
Caught off guard, Ya Li was struck by a bone claw, causing her to stagger back several steps...
She looked down at her chest and discovered the spot of attack had developed into purple-black bruising, spreading continuously and bringing a subtle pain…
"Damn, even the puppets themselves carry corrosive poison?"
The rest of the puppets didn't miss the opportunity, once again pouncing like wild beasts…
Ya Li, fighting hurriedly, felt the toxins accumulating even more heavily...
The nearby Ghost Emperor watched coldly, mercilessly mocking, "Haha, the renowned Saint Soul Douluo, seems she's truly as the rumors imply, lacking any combat ability!"
While dodging puppet attacks, Ya Li's mind raced in thought, "Stuck with these things, it's impossible to harm Ghost Emperor, I must find a way to deal with them!"
"Buzz buzz buzz!" The Sky-Piercing Spear seemed to guess her thoughts and flashed once again…
Ya Li seemed to hear something, her gaze growing determined! "I understand!"
She stopped dodging, allowing puppets to attack from all directions...
As their claws neared her, she grasped the Sky-Piercing Spear for a sweep...
For a moment, a horrifying spear intent capable of shattering souls instantly annihilated all the puppets…
Not only that, but it added a layer of seal on these puppets, causing them to lose the ability to repair themselves!
Ghost Emperor's expression changed dramatically, in disbelief, "This is… Yun Ming's spear intent, could it be his soul is still residing in the Sky-Piercing Spear?"
Just now, he indeed sensed Yun Ming's aura!
Otherwise, Ya Li, being a support type, couldn't possibly unleash such a terrifying power!
Ya Li ignored Ghost Emperor because she felt Yun Ming's warmth coming from the Sky-Piercing Spear, silently thinking, "Yun Ming, can you still hold on?"
That strike just now consumed Yun Ming's soul power, if an ordinary Soul Master were to do it, they'd likely dissipate on the spot!
The Sky-Piercing Spear emitted a low hum, seemingly sharper than before...
Receiving the response, Ya Li's eyes showed steadfast determination, "Alright, then let us together complete this final battle!"
However, before that, she needs to cleanse the toxins within her body!
The fifth soul ring beneath her feet lit up…
Fifth Soul Skill, Angel's Healing!
The virtual image of Wishing Angel behind her extended a tender hand, scattering green petals, which fell on Ya Li's body and transformed into particles to merge...
