"Protect Teacher Zhao! Back to back!" Feng Xiaotian suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted sternly. At the same time, he pushed his perception to the extreme, trying to capture the trajectory of the invisible darkness. But that darkness seemed to be able to swallow all perception. His wind passed through those areas, only returning an empty dead silence, as if he had hit an invisible abyss.
The Lie Yan on Huo Wushuang's body was burning, trying to dispel the shadows, but beyond the firelight, the darkness was still as thick as ink. The remaining three Soul Douluos were even more pale, standing back to back, tightly protecting Zhao Wuji, who was sitting cross-legged and breathing unsteadily, in the middle, Soul Power unreservedly injected their own defenses into Soul Skill and Martial Soul Avatar, holding their shields high, Rock's body tensed, and the auxiliary light flickering desperately, like Surging Waves's small boat in the stormy waves, trembling in the unknown fear.
Under Zhao Wuji, the shadow twisted and expanded to the limit, like boiling asphalt, suddenly "bulged" upward! A humanoid outline composed entirely of flowing, sticky darkness "grew" out of it, and quietly "stands" behind Zhao Wuji, only three feet away from him.
There were no facial features, no details, just a vague black silhouette with creeping edges. But the moment it appeared, an indescribable coldness, emptiness and greed that made the soul tremble instinctively, like an invisible tide, instantly flooded the entire battlefield.
Feng Xiaotian's pupils shrank suddenly and the hair on his body stood up. This was definitely not Soul Beast. Without even thinking about it, the cyan wind blade in his hand, which had already been condensed to the extreme, shot towards the dark outline with all its strength with a shrill scream! At the same time, Gale Twin Wings behind him suddenly vibrated and rushed towards Zhao Wuji desperately, trying to pull him away.
However, just at the moment when his figure moved--
The dark outline moved.
Instead of jumping towards Zhao Wuji, he... teleported.
There was no spatial fluctuation. The dark silhouette that was behind Zhao Wuji one moment, appeared behind Feng Xiaotian in the next moment, less than a foot away from him! It was so fast that it exceeded the perception limit that Feng Xiaotian was proud of!
Feng Xiaotian felt a chill that penetrated deep into his bones and froze his soul, instantly drowning him from behind. He wanted to turn around, wanted to activate Soul Power, wanted to activate Soul Skill, but it was too late.
A Scorpion Tail hook emerged from the flowing dark outline, like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole, stabbing out silently! The tip of the Scorpion Tail hook shimmered with gray light the size of a rice grain!
The moment the gray light appeared, Feng Xiaotian felt that all the blood and Soul Power in his body seemed to freeze, and then the ferocious Scorpion-Tail Bone Hook stabbed Feng Xiaotian in the back of the heart with that fatal gray light.
"Tsk..."
There was a sound that was almost inaudible, as if something was being "erased".
The tip of Scorpion-Tail Bone Hook, with that gray light, gently touched the clothes at the back of Feng Xiaotian. Then something terrible happened.
With that contact point as the center, everything in Feng Xiaotian's back and heart - the strong muscles, the rushing Soul Power, and the flowing blood and blood are like an eraser gently wiping away the traces of the pencil without leaving any residue.
At the same time, the pierced Scorpion-Tail Bone Hook itself suddenly lit up with a bright light! The tip of the hook accurately stayed at the edge of the wound to greedily grab energy.
The moment the gray light came into contact, Feng Xiaotian's body was like a sketch erased by an eraser, as if it had never existed. The surging Soul Power in his body evaporated instantly like dewdrops under the sun.
The horrified expression on his face completely froze and the look in his eyes quickly dimmed. The whole process was incredibly fast.
From the dark outline teleporting, to Scorpion-Tail Bone Hook piercing with gray light, to Feng Xiaotian, the whole person is like a portrait that has been erased by an eraser, with no energy residue left from head to toe, as if he has never existed in this world, but just a breath.
A Titled Douluo, and also a level 92 Agility Attack System Titled Douluo, who was the fastest in the world, was just wiped away. There was no scream, no trace or even the process of death.
It wasn't until the place where Feng Xiaotian originally stood became empty, and even the scorched earth under his feet seemed to be "cleaner" than the surroundings, that Huo Wushuang and the other three Soul Douluo, as if awakening from a big dream, suddenly turned their heads and saw a scene that froze their souls, made their brains go blank, and was almost incomprehensible.
"Smile... God?" The muscles on Huo Wushuang's face twitched stiffly, and his eyes were so wide that they almost burst open. His pupils shrank into needlepoints due to extreme shock and a fear beyond comprehension. The flames on his body were like candles in the wind, swaying violently, dimming, and almost extinguished.
What did he see? Feng Xiaotian... gone? Right in front of him, less than a foot away, the monster that emerged from the shadow of Zhao Wuji... clicked it with its tail, and then... disappeared? Evaporated like water vapor? Like it had never existed?
This... what is this?!
The dark outline "sinked" into the shadow under Zhao Wuji again, as if it had never appeared before. Only the color under Zhao Wuji seemed to be deeper and darker, as if to prove that the terrifying and weird scene just now was not Illusion.
Zhao Wuji, on the other hand, seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening behind him. He was still sitting cross-legged, with his eyes closed, his face distorted and painful due to the impact of Soul Ring energy, his body trembling slightly, and the huge black Soul Ring above his head was slowly sinking, establishing final contact with him.
"Weird... monster! Get out! Where have you done Xiaotian?! Give it back to me!!!"
After a brief, deathly silence, there was a volcanic eruption of rage, grief, and a deeper fear of facing the unknown! Huo Wushuang's eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot eyes and madness, and the strings of reason were completely broken! He could not understand what just happened, but he knew that Feng Xiaotian was dead, and the culprit was the monster hiding in the shadow!
"Seventh Soul Skill--Martial Soul Avatar!" He looked up to the sky and let out a roar that didn't sound like a human voice. The remaining Soul Power in his body burned desperately, and the flames on his body surface started to burn. The red turned into pale white in an instant, and the terrifying high temperature burned the surrounding air until it twisted and exploded! He wanted to burn the monster, along with the shadow of Zhao Wuji, into nothingness! Revenge for Feng Xiaotian!
"Brother Huo! Stop! Teacher Zhao is still there! That monster is in his shadow!" Soul Douluo, an auxiliary system, was so frightened that he shouted hoarsely. He saw Huo Wushuang's completely crazy eyes. God and the out-of-control Soul Power fluctuations knew that something big was going to happen! Attacking the shadow of Zhao Wuji would inevitably affect Zhao Wuji himself, and God knows what weird tricks the shadow monster has!
