Puff! Puff! Puff!
The once-hard ground split apart, and a straight blood-red afterimage extended from beneath that Evil Soul Master's feet all the way to a spot not far from Bei Bei and Zhang Lexuan.
In the end, the bloody afterimage turned into a pool of viscous muck. Heat bubbled within it, and its rancid stench made people dizzy.
"Get behind me!" Zhang Lexuan shielded Bei Bei behind her as she stared at the ghostly shadows dancing in the air and the bloody mire on the ground.
The mire began to wriggle strangely, as though something was about to burst out.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Countless red thorns shot out from the mire. The instant they appeared, the ghostly shadows probing through the air also pounced forward at lightning speed.
Viscous liquid still dripped from the thorns, while their sharp spikes lunged straight for Zhang Lexuan's entire body.
Others might have panicked, but these Evil Soul Masters were facing one of Shrek Academy's finest disciples.
Zhang Lexuan remained calm. With a thought, brilliant light erupted throughout her activated domain, and a Yellow Soul Ring lit up once more.
The Soul Ring turned into moonlight and condensed into an illusory Light Shield before Zhang Lexuan. Bang! The thorns slammed viciously into the Light Shield, yet left behind only faint ripples, showing just how sturdy it was.
Before those ghostly shadows could even approach, they were illuminated by an incomparably pure light. They immediately shrieked as countless wisps of black smoke rose from them, forcing them to retreat to the side.
Having easily neutralized the threat posed by three attacks, Zhang Lexuan showed no trace of arrogance. In truth, if Bei Bei had not been there, she would have directly erupted and wiped out these Evil Soul Masters the moment she encountered them.
