The golden light scattered, repelling all the attacking soul masters.
Tang San and the others turned their heads and their faces lit up with joy as they saw three familiar figures approaching rapidly.
"Teacher!"
Led by Flander, the three were suddenly enveloped in a golden light. They simultaneously formed hand seals and activated their spirit power, as if an invisible chain bound them together. Their profound tacit understanding transformed into perfect spirit compatibility. Centered around Master's mutated spirit, Luo San Pao, the three joined hands, forming a powerful, triangular beam of light that shot into the sky. Their spirit rings all flew into the beam. In the blink of an eye, a majestic, radiant golden sacred dragon burst forth from the beam, charging towards the soul masters!
The imposing aura of the Dragon King spread from the golden sacred dragon. The immense pressure, even for spirit saints, rooted their legs firmly to the spot, rendering them immobile. They could only watch as the colossal dragon tail, flashing with blue-purple light, swept towards them, blasting them away and leaving them spitting blood and unconscious.
The three figures, enveloped in the beam of light, formed a defensive line behind Tang San and the others, standing guard before the steps of the imperial bedchamber.
"Suisui, can you still walk?"
Tang San, his strength significantly recovered after circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, asked Tang Sui in a low voice.
Tang Sui merely shook her head, remaining silent. She feared that if she spoke, she would be unable to stop herself from spitting out a mouthful of blood.
During her previous fight with Ci Xue Douluo, she had outwardly managed to condense a second mask avatar. But only she knew that the power of each mask avatar was merely one-third of the current single mask's strength. This time, the advantage lay in numbers, achieving the conditions for critical hits and attack power increasing exponentially with the number of masks.
Surrounded by her masks, she floated up from the ground, indicating she could still fly and they didn't need to worry about her.
Tang San nodded and turned to Master. Unseen by him, Tang Sui, her face pale, swallowed the rising metallic sweetness in her throat, pretending to be fine as she floated behind Tang San.
"Go quickly. We have this covered," Master said gravely.
Tang San pursed his lips. With Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo assisting, and dragging the small tail, Tang Sui, he broke into Xue Ye the Great's bedchamber at great speed.
To ensure the situation concerning Xue Ye the Great, Qian Renxue had already dispatched the imperial guards stationed in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Thus, their path was relatively smooth, as most others were still dazed from the previous battle and had not yet awakened.
Now, without the suppressive holy aura of the Angelic Spirit, Tang Sui benefited greatly.
She followed behind Tang San and the others, not moving quickly, but whenever she passed by the fallen imperial guards, she would glance at their arms. If she saw a red sash, she would draw them into her domain and devour them directly, restoring herself.
As Tang Sui stepped into Xue Ye the Great's bedchamber, she saw Yang Wudi, Tang San, and Dugu Bo surrounding Xue Ye the Great, with the fourth prince, Xue Beng, looking helpless beside them.
Sensing someone's arrival, Xue Beng glared with bloodshot eyes. Upon seeing Tang Sui, he was startled, and his expression became slightly unnatural.
"Brother, what is the condition of Emperor Xue Ye?" Tang Sui asked, her voice slightly hoarse.
Tang San frowned, "No, the medicine I have on hand is unlikely to be effective. Emperor Xue Ye's poisoning is too deep. Elder Yang is currently trying to expel the poison, and it's uncertain if he will succeed."
Time ticked by. Yang Wudi, who was using acupuncture to expel the poison, withdrew his needles with a frown, his expression solemn. "This is a mixed poison of seven types. Only a portion has been expelled so far. I can detoxify the rest, but it will take time."
"In that case, we should take Emperor Xue Ye to a safe place!"
The one who answered Yang Wudi was the dust-covered Master and his two companions.
"Suisui, are you alright?"
Flander stood before Tang Sui, examining her as she remained suspended, her feet off the ground.
Tang Sui shook her head, "Just severely depleted. I need some time to recover, but I can still assist you."
The soul masters she had just devoured were not consumed in vain.
As she spoke, a white figure gracefully arrived and, in a blink, stood beside Tang Sui. It was Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan, and currently the head of the Min Hall and an elder.
"Suisui, Xiao San, are you alright?"
Like Flander, Bai He quickly scanned them, and upon confirming their breaths were relatively stable, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Seeing Bai He, Tang San's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Uncle-Grandfather, you've arrived just in time. Please immediately send word to our sect disciples to retreat, not to return to the sect, but to go directly to Shrek Academy. We will join you shortly."
Bai He understood the urgency of the situation. He merely nodded slightly and, in the next instant, leaped into the air, disappearing from Tang Sui and the others' sight. Even Flander, a Soul Douluo with excellent dynamic vision, couldn't discern the afterimage. It was as if he were a mere phantom, his trajectory untraceable, leaving Flander and the others astonished.
So fast, truly worthy of being the continent's fastest soul master!
After making arrangements for the Tang Sect, Tang San looked at Xue Beng, who stood to the side. "There's no time to waste, Fourth Prince. You will carry Emperor Xue Ye, and we will escort you to break through!"
Meeting Tang San's gaze, Xue Beng's face tensed. He let out a "hmm" and solemnly walked to Emperor Xue Ye's side, picking him up quickly but carefully.
"Second Spirit Ability, Kind Face."
Tang Sui activated her second spirit ability, and her pale complexion improved slightly. The overall feeling of weakness largely disappeared, as if she had almost recovered.
However, Tang San, who could see with his unique eye technique that Tang Sui was still putting on a brave front, frowned. He reached into the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges and pulled out a white porcelain bottle, pouring out seven pills and distributing them. "These are medicinal pills that can rapidly restore stamina and accelerate spirit power flow. They have few side effects and provide a temporary boost to spirit power, lasting about fifteen minutes. I believe this should be enough for everyone's spirit power to recover on its own?"
Tang Sui, who had taken such pills before, was familiar with them. Although others were surprised that Tang San possessed such medicine, they knew this was an extraordinary time and did not dwell on it.
After everyone took the pills, Dugu Bo moved his wrists. His spirit power had recovered by about thirty percent. "Little monster, I'm ready."
"Good. Fourth Prince, wait a moment. You will follow Elder Dugu and charge out, and we will escort you and Emperor Xue Ye," Tang San instructed finally.
Xue Beng took a deep breath, determination filling his eyes. "Don't worry, I'll run as fast as I can!"
Tang San nodded and stepped forward, pushing open the bedchamber door with a resounding thud. The seven of them stood ready. Dugu Bo stomped his foot, launching himself forward, leading the group in a charge towards a single direction.
