1045. The Terrifying Azure Scale
"Young Master?"
"Qinglin, follow me!"
There was absolutely no time for explanation; the attack from the rear soul beams arrived once more. With Yao Lao seriously injured, the task of covering the rear naturally fell to Qing Lin and Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan immediately shielded Yao Lao and Huo Zhi behind him, and the five strange flames returned to his front. Xiao Yan and Qing Lin stood side by side, needing no words, seemingly already in sync.
The icy breath spewed from Qinglin's mouth struck first, and amidst a series of crackling freezing sounds, it greatly slowed the black mist's advance. The Eight Desolate Star Lotus Flame followed closely behind, showing no mercy and directly shattering all the pursuing black mist.
Soul Radiance sensed Qing Lin's arrival. Although he wasn't afraid due to his current state, he was still increasingly annoyed by the constant stream of unexpected events. Even with Qing Lin's help, he was absolutely confident of victory, but the problem was that behind these people was a true powerhouse—the nine-star Dou Sheng expert, Yan Jin.
Because of the earth-shattering explosion just now, he didn't have time to pay attention to me for the time being, but if I don't hurry, he will come sooner or later. Even if I obtain the complete remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor, I dare not say that I am a match for Yan Jin in a short time.
"Heaven level soul skill, soul-destroying voice!"
The soul-like light within the black mist suddenly opened its mouth, spitting out a blackish-red light carrying a bloody aura. After appearing, it twisted and changed strangely in the air for a while before stabilizing and transforming into an extremely ugly and hideous human face.
To be precise, this isn't a face at all; it's a jumble of crisscrossing scars. The features are even misaligned—the eyes are below, the lips above—it looks more like a failed human face pieced together from numerous fragments.
The expression on his face was extremely ferocious, yet illusory tears were flowing from his eyes. Just from the surface, there was an unsettling sense of incongruity and eeriness.
As the face successfully materialized, it opened its mouth, and waves of captivating sound waves emanated from it.
This sound is almost impossible to resist with battle qi, and it doesn't just affect people's ears; it attacks people's souls almost without any hindrance!
Among these people, Huo Zhi was the weakest, and her soul power was not strong enough. She was immediately affected by the sound wave. Huo Zhi felt as if her head was being pierced by countless tiny silver needles. This impact that went straight to her soul made her shudder. The pain that struck her heart made her brows furrow and tears flow uncontrollably.
Xiao Yan was also deeply affected by this attack, but his soul was exceptionally strong, allowing him to withstand it. Moreover, relying on his relatively intact soul power, he launched a proactive counterattack!
"Break it!"
Soul power surged out wildly, and Xiao Yan disregarded the consequences, unleashing the full power of the Void Devouring Flame, directly tearing a passage through the black mist and reaching its core area.
"Hidden Shadow Needle, go!"
The Hidden Shadow Needle is quite powerful, even among Heaven-rank Soul Skills. However, this is not the right time to use it, because Xiao Yan cannot pinpoint the location of the soul light, so the Hidden Shadow Needle simply loses its target. Although this attack made the soul light feel a slight threat, it was quickly controlled by the black mist.
In that short time, Qing Lin, the strongest among them, did not think of continuing to help the three leave. Instead, he approached the core of the black mist of the soul light.
Rather than fleeing in a sorry state, Qinglin wanted to deal with this troublesome fellow in front of her directly.
A vibrant green light flashed in Qing Lin's eyes, and his Heavenly Realm soul power was activated. In the previous battles, Qing Lin had barely used his soul power, relying mostly on his battle qi.
The main reason is that soul power is not her forte, so she hasn't deliberately used it. However, this comparison is based on a comparison of Qing Lin's various abilities. Given her extraordinary strength, her soul power is indeed not outstanding.
But the Azure Serpent's Three-Flower Pupils essentially rely on its soul and bloodline to control serpentine magical beasts, so if anyone thinks that Azure Scale's soul is really a weakness, then they are completely wrong.
When the azure light and the black mist met, the attack was highly targeted. Under the azure light emanating from Qinglin's eyes, the thick, dense black mist dissolved at an extremely fast speed, even the black mist gathered around the soul's main body.
This level of black mist couldn't stop Qinglin at all!
In just four or five breaths, Qing Lin had already shattered all the black mist blocking her path. The enormous black mist spider, formed from soul light, seemed to have its head smashed off under Qing Lin's brute force, leaving only its body and completely exposing the soul light hidden within. Qing Lin faced the soul light controlling the strange human face, her face filled with coldness and killing intent.
"I've found you." Qinglin's tone was terrifyingly calm.
The blade in her hand solidified again, radiating cold air, its tip pointing directly at the bizarrely pieced-together human face in front of the soul beam.
Qing Lin could see that this strange human face was the core of the soul-light attack. As long as it could be destroyed, his attack would collapse on its own. Afterward, Xiao Yan and the others could leave at will, while he stayed behind to deal with this guy.
"You dare to try and touch my soul?"
Hun Mang was not intimidated at all. He snorted coldly and used both palms to strike at Qing Lin's sharp blade.
Boom boom boom—
Facing the cold blade, Hun Mang's palm also gleamed with a ghostly light. He struck Qing Lin's blade three times in succession, trying to deflect her attack. His intention was successful; after three strikes, Qing Lin's blade did indeed deviate from the human-faced soul he had released.
However, he also felt the pervasive chill that had invaded nearly half of the meridians in his palm. This chill was devastating, almost freezing his blood vessels and slowing his movements considerably.
Soullight realized that his judgment of Qinglin was inaccurate; she was definitely not exhausted.
"Ling Yuan is a useless person, how come this guy still has so much residual power?"
You must know that Qinglin just went through a fierce battle. Her opponent was the chief of the Spirit Clan, and Lingyuan would definitely not show her any mercy.
Even after such an intense battle, and even after a powerful blow that affected the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor, Qing Lin was still able to threaten him after creating such a dazzling record!
The combat power displayed by Qing Lin is a great threat. Hun Mang is determined to report this matter. This woman is no less important than Xiao Yan!
Just as Qing Lin's attack was deflected, Xiao Yan, wielding the Void Devouring Flame, arrived at the same spot and launched an attack immediately afterward.
