Chapter 7 I'm waiting for reinforcements, what are you waiting for?
The one who spoke was a girl with a pink bun hairstyle.
It was arrogant and defiant, showing no sign of fear whatsoever.
On the contrary, his fighting spirit seemed exceptionally strong, and his spiritual power surged rapidly as he spoke.
It is Chen Ying'er, a professional summoner from the Soul Temple in [Dawn of Light].
"The Gate of Life!"
The little girl let out a low shout.
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently, and a huge portal of light appeared out of thin air.
The sheer magnitude of the energy was so overwhelming that even a powerful ancient banyan tree frowned, immediately sensing something was wrong, and promptly took action.
The moment the spirit ring lights up, the person disappears from their original spot. This move is called [Spatial Traverse], which, as the name suggests, belongs to the spatial skill category.
In the blink of an eye, he was right next to Chen Ying'er.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to stop the summons, a sudden pang of heartache struck him again.
Driven by subconscious impulses, it makes the correct judgment and quickly dodges.
The next second, Long Haochen had already placed his golden greatsword, named [King's Sword], in front of him, slashing down at the spot in front of the ancient banyan tree.
If he had continued his attack, he would have been hit head-on by this move. Even with a defensive martial soul, he would not have fared well against a divine artifact.
"Good teamwork, you've got some skill."
Gu Rong looked surprised, but remained calm.
He activated [Spatial Traverse] again, teleporting to the other side, and prepared to make a second move as he spoke.
This time, however, someone else stood in his way: Saint Cai'er, like a ghost from the underworld, gripped a dagger and waited for an opportunity to stab him.
At the same time, the shield warrior Wang Yuanyuan and the violent priest Sima Xian respectively protected Chen Ying'er and Lin Xin, who was silently casting a spell, within the defensive range.
In just a few breaths, the six completed a perfect teamwork. Even the level 95 Ancient Banyan couldn't find any obvious flaws and retreated to create distance again.
"Be careful, this guy doesn't seem like Dugu Bo!"
As the team leader, Long Haochen lowered his voice and gave a reminder.
Chen Ying'er grinned, revealing an apologetic smile, and scratched her head sheepishly.
"Sorry, I didn't expect the old man to be so cunning, so lacking in sportsmanship, resorting to a sneak attack!"
The summoning continued uninterrupted. Behind him, the Gate of Life opened, and several magical beasts flew out, all comparable to eighth-tier humans.
Even the ancient banyan tree was startled.
They mistakenly believed that Chen Ying'er had summoned a "soul beast".
On the Douluo Continent, the relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts is almost one of mortal enmity.
I've never seen anyone who can control someone and make them obey willingly. This little girl is quite special.
Moreover... Gu Rong noticed, just like Dugu Bo, that the six young men and women in front of them did not activate their martial souls during the battle, yet they unleashed extremely powerful strength.
"What's going on with these kids?"
Gu Rong pondered silently, temporarily suppressing the shock in his heart.
After hearing Long Haochen's words, he realized that he had guessed correctly: Dugu Bo's disappearance was related to them.
Could it be that he really got taken down by those six brats? Even if the old poison master is useless, he shouldn't be this weak, right?
The initial sense of superiority stemming from his higher realm was quickly replaced by astonishment and uncertainty. He stared intently, finally becoming fully focused.
"Who are you people? What did you do to Dugu Bo?"
Gu Rong deliberately asked the question, but didn't expect to get an answer.
Before he finished speaking, another [Spatial Teleportation] was launched, but this time he was much more cautious.
The target was Lin Xin, who was heavily protected at the back. His mage-like energy was intense, and he didn't seem to be holding back any longer.
"Fighting Spinning Sword!"
Long Haochen was not fooled at all.
Responding swiftly, he spun around, sword in hand.
Using divine spiritual power as a means to block the opponent, attack and defense are completed simultaneously.
Clang! The ancient banyan's arm, as strong as steel, clashed with the golden greatsword, and both of them let out a muffled groan.
Long Haochen, in pain, retreated, having exhausted his strength. He was ultimately a level below him, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his aura slightly weakened.
On the other side, the ancient banyan tree was much more composed. Although its attack was blocked again, it had already made a judgment in its mind and revealed a calm smile.
These kids are indeed exceptionally talented, and even qualified to take on challenges beyond their level.
If it were someone like Dugu Bo, who was at the bottom of the ninth rank and not good at one-on-one combat, he might actually have a chance to turn the tables.
However, he was a level 95 Title Douluo, and no matter how brilliant their teamwork was, it couldn't overcome the difference in their cultivation levels.
Perhaps he could hold out a little longer, but that wouldn't change the outcome. This thought restored Gu Rong's confidence, and his entire body radiated terrifying soul power.
"These people are all very talented; there's no need for them to die under mysterious circumstances."
"Tell me what happened, and I might spare your lives."
"Otherwise, as you just saw, they couldn't break through my defenses at all."
Gu Rong stared with great interest at Long Haochen wiping his mouth, carefully observing everyone's reactions.
To his surprise, he found that his words were worthless, and no one was nervous or flustered; they remained steadfast.
Even the arrogant pink-haired girl and the clumsy bald man next to her exuded disdain and contempt.
This situation made Gu Rong both unhappy and very uneasy. These kids were obviously fearless, but where did their confidence come from?
Reinforcements? Or an elder? There's nobody else around!
The ancient banyan tree had been thoroughly inspected before it was exposed.
This unknown uncertainty made him feel a bit bad, and he snorted and decided to use all his strength.
The Martial Soul True Form shone brightly, and the bone dragon phantom slowly overlapped with it, the two mysteriously completing their fusion.
Since we can't figure it out, let's capture the six of them alive first. Who knows, we might be able to use them as bargaining chips to get Dugu Bo back?
"The Bone-Transforming Dragon!"
This is Gu Rong's ninth soul skill.
Transforming oneself into a bone dragon greatly enhances attack and defense, causing combat power to skyrocket.
As soon as they unleashed their attacks, Long Haochen and his group immediately became alert, but their auras remained calm, and they all revealed their trump cards.
"Tch, you think you're the only one with a dragon? I have one too!"
"Come forth! My most powerful pet! The Ice Dragon!"
Chen Ying'er pouted and summoned an ice dragon, though it wasn't as big as Gu Rong.
Lin Xin also unleashed the magic he had been preparing for a long time, hurling it all at the enemy from the air.
"The opponent is too tanky! Execute plan two!"
"By now... His Majesty's situation should be resolved by now!"
Long Haochen whispered his instructions, without revealing the plan to his teammates, but they understood.
The mysterious ninth-tier expert before them was far stronger than Dugu Bo, and the six of them would have a hard time dealing with him.
If we fight desperately, we might be able to win, but it will definitely damage the surrounding environment, and all the array patterns will be ruined.
Instead, we should focus on attracting attention. After a short while, the special forces team mentioned before the communication ended should be teleported over!
Chen Ying'er's Ice Dragon, Lin Xin's Forbidden Spell, and the ultimate moves of the others were all for this purpose, but Gu Rong was completely unaware of it.
Believing they had the upper hand, they recklessly engaged in a fierce battle, relying on the super-strong defense of the Bone Dragon Martial Soul. They even planned to severely injure and capture Long Haochen and his six companions alive.
"Hmph, I'm losing my patience."
"This is your last chance. Will you surrender or not?"
The ancient banyan tree, in its dragon form, lashed out with its tail, slamming it into the ice dragon and shattering Chen Ying'er's contracted beast.
His tone was clearly impatient, his large eyes looked down at the ground, and he stared at the Dawn of Light from a superior's perspective.
Just then, a faint spatial fluctuation appeared out of nowhere, creating the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, which was simultaneously detected by both sides in the battle.
Gu Rong was confused and failed to react immediately, while Long Haochen and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Ying'er revealed an arrogant smile.
"Hey, you shameless old man!"
"I'm waiting for reinforcements, what are you waiting for?"
"You didn't kill us just now, now... it's your turn to get beaten up!"
