Are Soul Elders Strong? Still Easy to Crush!

"He actually dodged it. His reactions weren't bad."

"That surprised me."

After being kicked away, he finally saw his attacker's true face.

The attacker was a Black-clothed Short-haired Middle-aged Man, with a scar on his face and the Killing Aura of someone seasoned by countless battles.

He was around 1.8 meters tall.

Judging from his aura, he was likely a mercenary assassin.

He was extremely shocked and astonished that the Young man before him had not only dodged his attack, but also launched a counterattack.

After all, no one knew his own strength better than he did.

He rarely failed when carrying out assassinations.

Yet he had failed this time against a mere Young man.

It dealt a severe blow to his long-held pride.

It left him deeply unbalanced.

His killing intent toward Li Fei grew even stronger.

"Just some sneaky trick."

Li Fei remained calm, his tone dripping with disdain.

"Kid, hand over the Storage Pouch in your hand, and I can spare your life. Otherwise, today will be the day you die!"

The Middle-aged Man, Kunsha, spoke coldly.

The next second, he stomped on the ground.

A powerful surge of Soul Power erupted!

Three Soul Rings—Yellow Yellow Purple, the optimal Soul Ring Configuration—rose from beneath his feet.

The aura of a Level Thirty-One Three Ring Soul Elder was revealed without question!

This was also a warning to Li Fei, making him understand that the wise submitted to circumstances.

Then, a black shadow appeared behind him and merged into his body.

This was his martial soul—Ghost Shadow!

"No."

Li Fei had expected this, so he was not surprised. His expression remained calm as he stored the Storage Pouch in his ring.

He was not surprised that this man had a standard Soul Ring Configuration either. After all, the world was vast, and Suotuo City was no small city. Not everyone lacked the backing needed to hunt Hundred-Year Soul Beasts.

"Then go die!"

"First Soul Skill—Ghost Shadow Assault!"

A vicious killing intent flashed through Kunsha's eyes. The next second, he shot forward, leaving behind a black afterimage as he instantly arrived before Li Fei.

His attack hit Li Fei.

Kunsha grinned savagely. "So he was just a piece of trash putting on a front..."

Peng!

However, the next second.

Smoke rose from the Li Fei he had struck, and it turned into a log.

"What!?"

"A log!?"

"Where is he!?"

Kunsha could no longer smile.

That was right. This was Li Fei's Wood Release—Substitute Technique.

When had he done it?

Naturally, the instant he had stepped out of the auction house.

For Li Fei, it had been effortless.

Suddenly, danger came from behind him.

Acting on battle instinct, he immediately turned and raised a guard.

Sure enough, Li Fei had appeared behind him at some point and thrown a punch.

Peng!

Li Fei's physical strength had reached the level of a peak Soul Ancestor, even approaching that of a Soul King.

Kunsha was only a Three Ring Soul Elder, and an Agile Attack System one at that. There was no way he could block it.

"Fuck!"

After that punch, Kunsha was sent flying as though he had been hit by a massive truck, smashing straight into the ground.

"So this is all a Three Ring Soul Elder can do?"

"You even have the optimal Soul Ring Configuration. If this is all you can do, then this battle can be declared over early."

"And you can become nourishment for my martial soul."

Li Fei spoke coldly.

"Myriad Willow Binding!"

The Golden Ancient Willow appeared behind him.

Countless Willow Branches extended forward.

More burst out from underground.

Kunsha, who had been sent flying, felt as though his bones were tearing apart. Cold sweat streamed down his face. "This kid's strength is actually this great! Is this a Plant Type martial soul? Why is he so strong? Not good!"

He had no time to think further, nor could he care about the tearing pain in his hand. He immediately used his Second Soul Skill to evade.

His instincts told him that if those Willow Branches wrapped around him, he would be finished.

"Second Soul Skill—Ghost Shadow Flash!"

His body turned into an afterimage again, rapidly evading the encroaching Willow Branches.

He appeared at Li Fei's side, gripping a Silver Blade that gave off a bloodthirsty cold gleam beneath the sunlight.

He swiftly thrust it toward Li Fei's neck.

"You're the first Soul Master to evade the binding. But for an Agile Attack System Soul Elder as nimble as you, that isn't surprising."

"After all, I never intended to trap you directly."

"I haven't used this ability in a long time. I'll use you to get some practice, or I might get rusty."

Li Fei's expression remained calm as he lightly tapped the ground with his foot.

The next second, a black-and-white pattern instantly spread outward.

The Two Forms Domain activated.

Li Fei stood on the white yang half, enjoying the All Attributes enhancement brought by Yang Force.

Kunsha, who had rushed in, stood on the black yin half, suffering the continuous reduction of all his attributes from Yin Force.

The reduced portion was continuously transferred to Li Fei, who stood within the Yang Force, as an endless stream of power flowed into his body.

"What... is this..."

"Why didn't this kid reveal any Soul Rings when using a Soul Skill?"

"All my attributes are being weakened. The Soul Power in my body is constantly draining away. How can it be draining so quickly?"

"My speed has become so slow too!"

"He's clearly right in front of me, yet I just can't break through!"

"No, I have to escape the range of this Soul Skill!"

Kunsha's expression changed drastically.

If he had been a powerful Soul Master far above Li Fei's level, perhaps he could have relied on the advantage of his own Soul Power to quickly leave the range covered by the Two Forms Domain.

However, Kunsha was only Level Thirty-One. Although Li Fei's Soul Power was only Level 29, putting them just two levels apart, Li Fei's Soul Power Quality far surpassed that of Level Thirty-One!

In a sense, his Soul Power was vastly superior to Kunsha's!

Thus, he completely suppressed Kunsha!

Furthermore, as Li Fei continued to refine and improve the Two Forms Domain, its coverage had reached thirty meters outward from himself!

That distance was terrifying!

"Tap!"

Li Fei snapped his fingers.

The next second, countless Golden Willow Branches burst from the Yin Force side and rapidly wrapped around Kunsha's hands and feet.

If he were bound by them, the consequences would be unimaginable!

His body stood rooted in place, as though he had entered a swamp. His feet struggled to move forward, his center of gravity was thrown off, and he could barely maintain his balance.

Cold sweat poured down Kunsha's face.

Looking at Li Fei's calm figure, he inexplicably began to panic.

He did not dare delay any longer and immediately unleashed his killing move.

"Third Soul Skill—Ghostly Shadow Consecutive Slash!"

This move was somewhat special and required a weapon to use.

Soul Power condensed onto the blade in his hand as he frantically slashed in every direction, sending out streak after streak of black blade energy.

Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng!!!!!!!!

Explosions rang out in succession.

He had thought the result would be favorable, but the Golden Willow Branches emerged from the smoke completely unscathed.

Kunsha wanted to continue using his Second Soul Skill, Ghost Shadow Flash, to evade.

At first, he did dodge some of them, and his body tried to rush out of the Domain's range.

However, his speed was continuously slowed by the Two Forms Domain. In the end, countless Golden Willow Branches bound his hands and feet and suspended him in mid-air.

"I let you use all three of your Soul Skills. Now you can die with understanding."

Li Fei's calm voice drifted over.

The Golden Willow Branches turned into sharp spikes and slowly pierced into Kunsha's body.

"Ah!!!!!!!!"

Kunsha's screams continued without end.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I can give you everything I have. Please spare my life..."

"I can obey your commands from now on..."

Kunsha's voice trembled as he begged in terror.

"I also know a Treasure Location. I'm willing to trade it for my life!"
