Qu Jianlei and the others had not expected Soul Bodies to be so difficult to deal with.
To be fair, though, they had been a little greedy. This nearly unheard-of existence had sparked tremendous interest in them.
They had not even realized that their instinct had been to capture it.
If they had truly wanted to kill it with all their strength, they could have unleashed Thunder Methods without restraint.
Of course, that still might not have guaranteed the enemy's death, but it would have been safer than this.
In the blink of an eye, Qu Jianlei's Mental Strength struck that soul, but it immediately sank into the wall anyway.
"Damn it!" Paranoid sighed in frustration. "That thing still got away!"
Old Lady Jia was weaker than him in Mental Strength as well. Her expression changed when she heard that. "It really escaped?"
Would that not mean their side risked being exposed?
Qinghu's Mental Strength was inferior to those two, but her concern lay elsewhere. "First One, you..."
Qu Jianlei closed his eyes, his face pale. After three or four seconds, he shook his head forcefully.
"I'm fine, but that thing devoured some of my Mental Strength..."
"Damn," Paranoid's expression changed as well. "It even devoured your Mental Strength? Good thing I didn't use Mental Attack."
He considered his cultivation no weaker than First One's, but his Mental Strength was somewhat inferior.
It was not that his Mental Strength was insufficient. It was simply that First One's Mental Strength was too monstrous.
Almost at the same time, an extremely faint ripple appeared in the air at the stairwell outside the room.
However, no one noticed it.
Old Lady Jia's expression changed as well. "It can actually devour Mental Strength... Could it be worse than Mu Yu?"
Paranoid rolled his eyes
