The Severed Hand
The chaotic Soul Power that burst forth did indeed reach the level of a Soul Emperor. However, even if a Soul Emperor is not good at defense, he can still withstand it.
The disordered Soul Power was certainly not as good as that of a genuine Soul Emperor. Breaking through the vines and causing a slight backlash was already the limit.
Moreover, Batus is no ordinary character; his Soul Ring Configuration is top-notch, and his combat skills are equally excellent.
In the courtyard, surrounded by vines once again, Batus took a step back, poured in his Soul Power, and his Sixth Soul Ring shone brightly. The broken vines convulsed and writhed as if they were alive, and the broken ends instantly extended, transforming into countless slender vines, their number actually increasing considerably.
Clearly, these vines are able to regenerate and have not suffered much damage.
Entanglement, Poison Point, Bloodlust, and regeneration—the combination of these factors makes Nightmare for many Battle Soul Masters.
Even if all Soul Power is squeezed out, the outcome will still be the same...
The vines began to strangle him again. Just as Batus was about to turn around, he was suddenly struck hard in the chest and forced to take a step back.
The emerald green scorpion tail pierced through the chest cavity, shattered the spine, and pierced the back, its tip emerging. The stinger was crystal clear, like a gemstone, and although it was stained with a little blood, the whole body remained clean.
His lungs rapidly lost temperature, the coldness seeped into his limbs and bones, and his blood solidified into crystals. Two breaths later, Batus fell silent.
The emerald green scorpion tail slowly retracted, bringing out some crimson ice crystals, leaving behind a deep, empty cavity. Because it had solidified into crystals, no blood flowed out from it, making the scene much calmer and less bloody.
Thanks to Snow Empress's training, Bai Cai has become adept at using fighter jets and even actively creating them.
For example, if Entanglement and strangled, the vines can block from both sides, allowing the user to use the Ice Jade Scorpion Tail to break free of Ring Detonation restraints and simultaneously conceal any unusual activity behind them, then Teleportation a fatal blow.
The Soul Master behind were almost stunned. They saw it very clearly: the boy appeared out of thin air in an instant, a scorpion tail had grown out of his back, and he quickly stabbed forward. Without encountering any resistance, he directly pierced through Batus's chest cavity, and the sharp spikes at the end protruded from his back.
The emerald green scorpion tail has five segments, with crystal particles covering the tip, as if diamonds were inlaid on the surface, exuding luxury and nobility.
Soul Bone!
External Soul Bone!
Such power and quality must have come from at least Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
"This item is indeed destined for me."
Nuozhi turned around, immediately marked the boy in front of him, and a massive amount of Soul Power surged forth.
Upon arriving in Douluo, for the weak, even a mere glance or a stern gaze can kill.
Thanks to the Ability of her third Soul Ring, Bai Cai has already defeated many elite Soul King.
However, even if they were to risk Ring Detonation and using their External Soul Bone, at most they could only perish together with Batus.
Batus died, Bai Cai was also seriously injured. The backlash from the Ring Detonation was extremely severe, almost comparable to burning one's life force.
The Ice Jade Scorpion Tail consumed a huge amount of energy; the copy Teleportation and stacked stabbing attacks had exhausted its remaining Soul Power, Kirlia returned directly, unable even to provide healing.
Severely injured by the backlash and with all his Soul Power exhausted, Bai Cai was completely drained.
Nuozhi paced slowly, his aura incredibly heavy. "To be honest, if no one had died, we might have been able to communicate."
With torn skin and bloodstains, Bai Cai looked towards the center of the courtyard, "If the world were always right, we would surely be able to communicate."
"Sympathy for the Soul Beast?"
Nuozhi sneered, "Hunting and pitying at the same time?"
The Bai Cai fell silent for a moment.
Nuozhi sighed, "Hypocritical and pretentious."
Bai Cai came to her senses and said, "My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my deeds are righteous."
Perhaps already annoyed, Nuozhi said no more, and simply slapped his hand away.
First, absorb the External Soul Bone, then add the ninth Soul Ring, and finally absorb the attached Soul Bone. Perhaps this will allow you to directly reach level 92.
At that time...
A sudden cracking sound echoed in the courtyard, and a severed hand flew out of the yard.
So surprised, Nuozhi was even momentarily Oblivious until he felt something strange in his arm.
The middle of his right hand was broken off, the fracture surface was rough, as if it had been hit by a blunt instrument, the blood was solidified, the muscles were stiff, the tendons were brittle, and the bone fragments were stained with blood-red icicles.
"My hand!" Nuozhi screamed.
The cold air seeped in, and the temperature in the courtyard dropped sharply. A graceful figure strolled through the snow.
"Pity?"
The beautiful girl with long, snow-white hair had a slightly cold expression. "Just being willful."
Driven by their appetites, Soul Beast also kill each other, even more so than Soul Master would hunt normally.
Because of empathy, Soul Beast also protect each other, and the beast herd works together in unity.
If compassion requires perfection, many Soul Beasts are equally unqualified.
This kind of willfulness is not a flaw, but rather something precious, because it is intertwined with kindness, faith, and perseverance.
Who are you? Why are you interfering?
Nuozhi was both shocked and furious. Two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Ring quickly appeared. His body was covered in a solid carapace, and his upper limbs mutated into giant pincers. His pressure shattered the snowflakes in the air.
The Tidal White Barnacle creature that avoids water, possesses immense strength and thick armor, and is amphibious. It is of excellent quality, Nuozhi was even able to force Dean Tianshui to retreat with a single word, making its combat power terrifying.
The beautiful girl did not respond; two halos suddenly appeared, their rich crimson color shocking the soul.
A halo-like void, binding together long, snow-white hair, revealed four noble golden patterns, cold and fierce.
A halo floated in mid-air, rotating in a circle, revealing seven noble golden patterns, exuding a chilling and majestic aura.
Due to the Ring Detonation, the Blue Ring was partially damaged, and the color of the Soul Ring subsequently lost its disguise.
Of course, Snow Empress made no attempt to hide it either—silencing them directly would have been much simpler.
Seven golden, crimson halos rapidly flashed with a snow-white luster.
With each flash, the beautiful girl grew a little more, and as the snow-white skin completely enveloped her, she transformed into an absolute beauty.
Heavenly Snow Woman's First Soul Ring and first Soul Skill: Snow Empress.
It wasn't some kind of Snow Empress Three Ultimates, but rather a temporary restoration of cultivation, transforming back into its original form.
Because of consuming the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus King, her transformation time has reached 700,000 years. She is the third Ferocious Beast on the continent and the supreme ruler of the Far North region, the Snow Empress.
As Martial Soul, under normal circumstances, Snow Empress's strength is almost equal to the limit age of the next Soul Ring. For example, if the third Soul Ring reaches ten thousand years, the fourth Soul Ring will at least double in strength.
In other words, Snow Empress's strength is at least at the level of a high-level Soul King, or even a Soul Emperor.
The reason why Nuozhi was injured was not only because Snow Empress was skilled, but also because Nuozhi did not use his full strength.
It hadn't possessed anyone, hadn't used its true form, and hadn't even used its Soul Skill. It was still enough for Soul King, but it was full of flaws against the Snow Empress.
Having almost reached the level of Titled Douluo, all those below the Soul Saint level are mere ants. Crushing Soul Elder would indeed not require using one's full strength.
Of course, Nuozhi has now capsized, and suffered heavy losses.
Just as lions and tigers rely on their forepaws, Tidal White Barnacle rely on their hands.
Losing your right hand means not only failing to maintain normal combat strength, but also reducing it by at least 20%.
"Why should you interfere in this matter? It's just Soul Beast after all; we can discuss it."
A chill quickly permeated the air, and layers of white frost covered the courtyard, as if the world were approaching its end.
Nuozhi was suddenly startled, then gradually retreated, "I will absorb the Soul Ring myself; the Soul Bone will be yours."
"Soul Beast?"
The four golden, crimson halos also brightened rapidly, revealing exquisite armor on her slender hands, its clarity resembling the finest jade.
"It wasn't because of that apricot tree."
