Wave after wave of shock blasted down from the sky and slammed into the ground. No one knew how deep the impacts had carved into the earth when, suddenly, a black figure burst out from underground and attacked the two of them.
No one had expected such a sudden turn. It was a War Soul, hidden deep beneath the earth and untouched by their earlier battles. Only this fight had ravaged the ground deeply enough to reach it.
The black War Soul conjured a long staff from star energy. It swept the staff across the heavens, filling the entire area with black afterimages. It was a combination of a domain and a battle technique.
High in the sky, an instructor exclaimed in surprise, "That's the battle technique of the Second Academy's chief from several hundred years ago!"
Whoosh! Lu Yin and Night King Yan Qing flashed past the War Soul. It froze in place, then shattered and vanished. The countless staff shadows disappeared with it.
Many people felt their scalps prickle. The Second Academy chief's War Soul hadn't even lasted a second. The difference in power was simply too great.
Thump! Thump!
Two muffled blows rang out in quick succession. Lu Yin blocked one of Night King Yan Qing's punches with his left arm and seized her elbow with his right. "Is this the Night King Body you claimed could rival Five-pattern Battle Qi?"
Night King Yan Qing panted heavily, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth as she glared viciously at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin sneered. "The Night King Clan is nothing special."
Night King Yan Qing roared and rammed a leg into Lu Yin. He didn't even bother to dodge. One palm slammed her into the ground as he stared straight into her eyes. "True Martial—Night King."
