Chapter 313 Sobering Up, Xuanmo's Resoluteness.
Was Unmatched. Before Xuanmo could even finish his daze,
"Why don't you seize the opportunity and make your move!"
Ryder, wielding the blood sword, shouted sharply, barely managing to block Will's instinctive backward strike with a horizontal swing of the sword.
However, Ryder himself was also forced back more than ten steps.
Seeing this, Xuanmo's first reaction was not to attack Will, but to contact the Ice and Fire Dragon King in his sea of consciousness.
After all, now was the best opportunity to rescue Oscar and the others, freeing them from Will's mental control.
"Uncle Ice, Uncle Fire..."
"Don't worry, leave the rest to us."
Before Xuanmo could finish speaking, the Ice and Fire Dragon King knew his plan. Without saying a word, a unique spiritual power belonging to the Ice and Fire Dragon King emanated from the Lava Lord's body.
"Not good."
Sensing the fluctuation of spiritual power, Will's expression changed instantly, because he now understood what Xuanmo wanted to do.
So, he immediately turned around, wanting to regain control.
At this moment, Ryder, sensing the spiritual power emanating from the Lava Lord, was also stunned. However, he quickly realized that Xuanmo must have his reasons for doing this: to give Mulin and the others a chance to break free from Will's mental control.
Then, when he saw Will turn away, abandoning him to interrupt the Lava Lord's actions, he gritted his teeth.
He didn't dwell on the vast difference in their soul power; after all, he only had one chance, and he was confident he could at least hold out for three minutes against Will, a Soul Douluo.
Immediately afterward, Ryder gripped the Blood Sword tightly in his right hand.
His soul power began to condense, and a powerful crimson sword aura slashed towards Will again.
At this moment, Xuanmo didn't hesitate.
After all, it wasn't him making the move, but the Ice and Fire Dragon King in his sea of consciousness, who couldn't interfere with his actions.
Furthermore, the more severely Will was injured, the easier it would be to break free from Mulin and the others' mental control.
"Will, your opponent is here!"
As the "Annihilation Devouring Light" was activated, the lava greatsword in his hand turned purplish-black, and he swept it across his arm, mobilizing his Ice and Fire Soul Bones to infuse the greatsword with alternating hot and cold energy.
Instantly, the greatsword's sharpness was fully revealed, even more so than before.
"Heaven-Slaying Dragon-Slaying Blade!"
The lava greatsword slashed out fiercely, its aura surging even stronger against the wind. Moreover, this time, Xuan Mo did not choose to hold back, aiming directly to kill Will.
"With you!"
Will's eyes flashed with killing intent. Sensing the blood-red light behind him, he immediately made a choice. As a ten-thousand-year soul ring lit up, a pair of huge, withered hands reached out from behind Will, grabbing at the spot where the blade was coming from.
Then, he let the blood-red light strike his back.
"Boom!"
In an instant, a shockwave of the attack spread.
"Pfft!"
Immediately afterward, a tearing sound suddenly rang out.
When the dust and shockwave dissipated, Will's slightly disheveled figure was revealed. Of course, aside from the sword mark on his back, he wasn't actually seriously injured.
However, this scene shocked the other evil spirit masters.
The Lava Lord's strike had been incredibly impactful, leaving many of them wary and even causing some to twitch.
In the previous battle, three Soul Saint-level evil spirit masters had already fought the Lava Lord. Therefore, they had a certain understanding of his strength.
Clearly, although only two of the three evil spirit masters survived, those two would likely have died had Will not intervened.
But the Lava Lord's attack was more powerful than either of the two Soul Saint-level evil spirit masters had ever experienced.
For a moment, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at the Lava Lord. Their previous arrogance stemmed from ignorance, but witnessing his power firsthand was a completely different matter.
However, the two evil spirit masters still had doubts.
So, if they had such a powerful move, why didn't they use it earlier to finish them off sooner?
In reality, Xuan Mo was also in a difficult position.
Using this move with the Lava Lord's massive size would consume an enormous amount of energy from activating both soul bones.
Right now, Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun's soul power was almost at the same level as it had been three months ago, completely exhausted.
Meanwhile, "Cough cough, what exactly happened?"
As the aftershocks subsided, Oscar, Mulin, and the others emerged from the dust, along with Will.
Mulin and Jin Sanqian, who had already gotten up, shook their heads. Their eyes were initially blank, but quickly cleared. Looking at the situation before them, they were stunned for a moment, muttering, "What...what happened to us?"
And besides Mulin and his group, the same scene unfolded for Oscar and his companions nearby.
Seeing them still frozen in place, Ryder quickly blocked the evil spirit masters who were attacking Oscar and his group, trying to take advantage of the situation to eliminate them. He then roared at Mulin and his group, "You lot, get out of the way!"
Although Mulin and Shenger's memories seemed to be returning, seeing the current situation, even with their minds in disarray, they knew something was wrong.
Taking advantage of the opportunity Ryder had created, they quickly dodged, trying to create distance from the evil spirit masters.
Xuan Mo witnessed this entire scene.
After a moment's thought, he made a decision.
Then, in the next second, the 100,000-year spirit ring beside the Lava Lord once again emitted a dazzling red light. At this moment, the Lava Lord gripped a lava greatsword in one hand and a giant lava fist in the other. His massive body resembled a giant black lava armor, with enormous fire phoenix wings spread across his back. His eyes revealed a resolute determination.
He stared directly at Will, whose aura was chilling and whose entire body exuded murderous intent, and Ryder, who was forced to flee in a sorry state.
The Lava Lord wielded his greatsword with force, then with lightning speed, he swung the hilt horizontally, using immense power to push aside all the evil soul masters pursuing Ryder and his companions.
Then, without turning his head, he spoke in a deep voice to Ryder and the others,
"You few, hurry up and go. I'll cover your retreat..."
To be honest, before they reached the shore, even before Will appeared in the ambush, Xuan Mo hadn't even considered this.
But now, he was acutely aware of their current situation.
Their soul power was nearly exhausted, while their even stronger opponents were at their peak.
