Blue Silver Emperor spoke up, identifying the martial soul of the woman before them.
At this moment, behind the Spider Queen, a dark green spider loomed, its cold, emerald eyes fixed on Lin Yongming and the others.
Bibidong had never encountered someone with the same martial soul as hers. She knew how rare the Devouring Soul Spider Emperor martial soul was.
But now, seeing it on a fallen one, how could Bibidong not be shocked?
"You're young, but you have a good eye. Recently, there have been rumors about the Spirit Hall's Judgment Team producing three talented young individuals, hailed as the Three Heroes of Wuying."
"I never expected that capturing a few villagers to break through to the Soul Douluo level would lead you straight to me."
"Very well. Three Soul Emperors—quite impressive. And the Spirit Hall deserves to die a thousand deaths. Today, you shall become part of me. Absorbing your souls will allow me to rise several levels."
"Third Soul Skill: Demon Spider Summoning!" The Spider Queen sneered coldly. As she spoke, a dark green glow spread beneath her feet, resembling a swamp. One after another, spiders emerged from the mire.
"You all deal with the others. Leave these three to me. Don't let them escape," the Spider Queen ordered her subordinates.
"Yes, Queen!" Under the lead of the two Soul Emperors, the ten subordinates split into two groups, positioning themselves on either side to prevent Deacon Fang Yan and the others from escaping. The Spider Queen stood in the center.
This meant that Lin Yongming and the others were blocked, with no path forward and a mountain at their backs.
If it were just Lin Yongming and the two women, facing an eighty-first level Soul Douluo, they could have fled at any time, even if they couldn't win.
But with nearly a hundred people here, if they left, these people would be doomed.
So, Lin Yongming couldn't abandon them, leaving them to their fate.
Not only Lin Yongming, but even the kind-hearted Blue Silver Emperor couldn't do such a thing.
Bibidong, who had grown up in the Spirit Hall, couldn't abandon her comrades either.
As the Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden, fleeing would leave her wracked with guilt.
Seeing the small spiders crawling toward them, Lin Yongming swiftly moved to the front of the group.
His Thunder Blade plunged into the ground, and lightning spread out, striking the spiders.
"Second Soul Skill: Wave Burst!"
Boom...
The small spiders exploded like firecrackers upon contact with the lightning.
"Ah Yin, Dong'er, you two help Deacon Fang Yan deal with the other fallen ones. I'll hold off the Spider Queen," Lin Yongming said without turning his head, his focus entirely on the Spider Queen.
"Understood." The two women understood Lin Yongming's thoughts and immediately released their martial souls.
"A mere sixty-second level Soul Emperor dares to boast about holding me off?" The Spider Queen was momentarily stunned, then transformed one of her spider legs into a sickle over a meter long.
As she prepared to attack, she caught sight of Bibidong releasing her Death Spider Emperor martial soul and paused.
"Death Spider Emperor! How can she have the Death Spider Emperor martial soul?" The Spider Queen muttered to herself.
"She looks so familiar, so much like her. How can there be someone so similar in this world?" The Spider Queen stared at Bibidong, as if recalling someone, her eyes filled with nostalgia.
"First Soul Skill: Thunder Slash!" Lin Yongming had no idea what the Spider Queen was thinking.
But seeing her draw her weapon, he decided to strike first.
The Spider Queen snapped out of her reverie upon sensing the attack, but Lin Yongming's strike was incredibly fast. She instinctively raised her sickle to block.
Clang...
The Spider Queen was forced back two steps by Lin Yongming's powerful attack.
"You brat, seeking death!" The Spider Queen, her reminiscence interrupted, angrily counterattacked.
"First Soul Skill: Crescent Slash!" The Spider Queen swung her sickle, sending crescent-shaped dark green attacks in all directions.
Facing an opponent nearly twenty levels above him, Lin Yongming didn't dare to be careless. After unleashing a Thunder Slash, he immediately followed up with a block.
The collision of their soul powers created a shockwave, making the surrounding Spirit Hall members uncomfortable.
After all, this was a battle between a Soul Emperor and a Soul Douluo. The impact was too much for those at the Great Soul Master and Soul Elder levels to withstand.
"I need to lure her away from here, farther from the others," Lin Yongming thought. His Purple Lightning Wings extended from his back, and with a flap, he appeared before the Spider Queen, delivering a furious strike.
"External Soul Bone!" The Spider Queen was momentarily stunned but calmly blocked Lin Yongming's attack, though she was surprised by his external soul bone and attack speed.
The gap in their soul power was simply too large, especially at higher levels, where each level represented a significant difference.
Although the Spider Queen's soul power might be somewhat unstable due to her plundering methods, she was still not someone Lin Yongming could defeat at his current level.
However, Lin Yongming was confident he could hold her off for a while. As for Bibidong and the Blue Silver Emperor, he had no doubt they could handle the two fallen Soul Emperors.
"Second Soul Skill: Soul Devouring Armor!" The Spider Queen's body was enveloped in swirling purple and green energy, forming a dark green armor.
Thus, she stood firm, completely unfazed by Lin Yongming's heavy strike.
At the same time, her spider sickle slashed horizontally toward Lin Yongming's waist.
Lin Yongming had no choice but to block with his Thunder Blade and retreat to the right.
The Spider Queen naturally wouldn't let him go and continued her pursuit.
This drew the two of them over twenty meters away from Blue Silver Emperor and the others.
"Hellish Demon Vines!"
"Blood-Sucking Bats!"
The remaining fallen ones released their martial souls. The two Soul Emperors among them possessed high-quality martial souls.
However, their soul power levels were several ranks below the Blue Silver Emperor and Bibidong. Moreover, the soul power of fallen ones was often unstable. Despite having other fallen ones assisting them, they were no match for the two women.
Within ten minutes, the two women had each taken down a Soul Emperor.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Overlord Spear!"
"Fifth Soul Skill: Thousand Blades!"
Hearing the screams, the Spider Queen turned her head and saw her two Soul Emperor subordinates being killed by the women.
"Useless trash!" She cursed, pausing her attack.
"Damn it, this kid is so troublesome. How does a sixty-second level Soul Emperor have such deep soul power? It's like an endless ocean, inexhaustible," the Spider Queen thought, glaring at Lin Yongming, who was surrounded by lightning.
She noticed that Lin Yongming's movement and attack speed were incredibly fast, sometimes even catching her off guard. Fortunately, her second soul skill's defensive ability protected her from Lin Yongming's attacks.
"Third Soul Skill: Soul Devouring Web."
Purple-green webs shot out from the Devouring Soul Spider Emperor martial soul, one after another.
