Hun Qing fell silent at once. Only after a long while did he sneer. "Nalan Ye, nothing good will come of opposing the Hall of Souls."
"Whatever becomes of me, you certainly won't live to see it!"
My gaze abruptly turned icy. There was nothing to discuss with the Hall of Souls. The enmity between us ran too deep; it had already reached the point where it could no longer be resolved.
The three Ancient Tree Puppets held down all directions. My true body charged straight at Hun Qing. I raised a hand and pointed, and dark clouds instantly blanketed the sky. A bolt of purple lightning crashed down from above like a waterfall.
Boom!
The bucket-thick bolt fell. Hun Qing did not hesitate at all. He did not even attempt to block it, immediately turning to flee.
When he discovered that I was the one who had appeared here, he knew he could not hold me off. This branch hall was as good as lost.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
I formed seals with both hands, guiding the lightning to change course. It had been striking toward the ground, but now it abruptly turned and pursued Hun Qing.
The three Ancient Tree Puppets guarding all directions instantly closed in from three sides as well.
Hun Qing did not stop, still flying rapidly through the air. At the same time, his figure gradually faded, ripples of space spreading around him in layers. He was actually trying to escape by traveling through space.
But in front of me, he could not even manage that!
The Ancient Void Dragon bloodline within me instantly churned and roared. I extended a hand and clenched it fiercely toward Hun Qing a short distance away. At once, the surrounding stretches of space seemed to solidify.
