Third Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill

The moment the Soul Rings lit up, a vine appeared on the left arms of Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, while the Ethereal Blue Silver Emperor in Tang Liu's left palm curled back around itself.

Zhao Wuji's attack struck them at that very moment.

Yet they stood where they were as though nothing had happened, without even blinking.

Zhao Wuji: "..."

Soul Masters had the clearest sense of their own Soul Skills, so Zhao Wuji could distinctly feel that when his first Soul Skill struck Tang Liu and the others, it had been reduced to a negligible amount of attack power.

And that remaining bit of power was no more than a scratch to them.

"Is this a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill?" Tang San was somewhat astonished, but he reacted quickly. He used his first Soul Skill again, and Blue Silver Grass surged toward Zhao Wuji.

After a brief daze, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing charged out alongside Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

"Second Soul Skill, Ethereal Stealth!"

Tang Liu used his second Soul Skill again, but this time, he cast it on both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhao Wuji, who had been about to attack Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, had no choice but to halt the Soul Skill he was activating when the two vanished.

At the same time, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass arrived and bound Zhao Wuji tightly once more.

Zhao Wuji exerted force to break free, but that same sensation from before returned. He had no choice but to release his Soul Power and cut through the Blue Silver Grass.

But at that moment, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who had circled behind Zhao Wuji while invisible, launched another attack.

Yet Zhao Wuji seemed to have been prepared. His third and second Soul Rings lit up in succession.

Vajra Bear third Soul Skill, Gravity Enhancement!

Second Soul Skill, Vajra Palm!

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who had been attacking Zhao Wuji, instantly bent over and collapsed toward the ground, unable to move.

At the same time, Zhao Wuji's bear paw came smashing down toward the two of them.

Just as Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had nowhere to evade, Tang Liu's third Soul Ring lit up again.

Ethereal Protection instantly took effect on Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, removing ninety percent of the effects of Zhao Wuji's Gravity Enhancement.

The clearest indication was that Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing could move again.

But Zhao Wuji's Vajra Palm was faster than they were. Thus, even though Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had started to dodge, parts of their bodies were still struck by the Vajra Palm.

The next moment, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were sent flying by Zhao Wuji's blow. If not for Tang Liu's Ethereal Protection, and if Zhao Wuji had used his full strength, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing might have died on the spot.

Although Tang Liu's third Soul Skill was immensely effective, once Zhao Wuji increased his Soul Power output, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing still basically lost their ability to fight.

Dai Mubai caught Zhu Zhuqing in time from outside the field. Her entire body was weak and powerless, while Xiao Wu was pulled back by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji leaped high into the air and came down toward Ning Rongrong, Tang Liu, and Tang San. At the same time, his fourth Soul Ring lit up.

Fourth Soul Skill, Target Tracking!

A locking skill!

Tang Liu curled his lips into a smile. His second Soul Ring lit up, and he, Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and Xiao Wu in Tang San's arms vanished from the spot.

At the same time, Zhao Wuji, still in the air, was horrified to discover that he had lost his lock on Tang San and Tang Liu.

Did this brat's second Soul Skill also have the effect of removing locks?

But that alone was not enough to give them the means to defeat Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji crashed down onto the ground, then unleashed his first Soul Skill, Immovable Wisdom King Body!

Frenzied waves of light rapidly spread in all directions, quickly sweeping over the invisible group.

Since they had been attacked, the effect of Ethereal Stealth was removed, and everyone revealed themselves.

Moreover, when Zhao Wuji activated Immovable Wisdom King Body just now, Tang Liu had once again cast Ethereal Protection on everyone, offsetting most of the damage. Otherwise, that one strike alone could have nearly wiped them all out.

However, Ethereal Protection was unlike Ethereal Defense and Ethereal Stealth. As a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring skill with such powerful effects, each use consumed a considerable amount of Tang Liu's Soul Power.

Even with Tang Liu's Soul Power compressed twice, he could only use it four times. One could imagine just how enormous the consumption was.

If he had not compressed his Soul Power, his third Soul Skill could probably only have been used to save his life at the most critical moment. How could he have used it this frequently?

At this point, the incense stick had only burned halfway.

"Brat, your Soul Power's about to run out, isn't it? Your Soul Skills are quite good, but how many more times can you use them?" Zhao Wuji asked Tang Liu with a smile.

"Cut the crap. Another ten or eight times won't be a problem!" If not for his pale face, Tang Liu's words would have been more convincing.

"Fine, then let's see whether you can really use it another ten or eight times. Still, since you made me use my fourth Soul Skill, you're definitely admitted!" Zhao Wuji chuckled, then used his second Soul Skill again, Vajra Palm.

Naturally, Tang Liu used Ethereal Protection once more.

Under Ethereal Protection, the group suffered no injuries, but the palm wind from Vajra Palm still blasted them backward at high speed.

After using Ethereal Protection one last time, Tang Liu's Soul Power was basically depleted.

But Zhao Wuji clearly had no intention of letting him off so easily. He charged at him again and threw a punch.

Before he arrived, the force of his fist had already reached him. Tang San's Blue Silver Grass did not have time to pull Tang Liu away, so if Tang Liu wanted to evade Zhao Wuji's attack, he could only cast Ethereal Defense on himself.

And that was exactly what Tang Liu did. However, his expression suddenly changed, and his first Soul Ring flashed twice in succession.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji's fist force struck him.

The expected scene of the fist force passing straight through Tang Liu did not occur. Instead, Tang Liu was sent flying by the tremendous force of the punch.

Tang Liu's body flew backward, but a small blue-green fox passed through his clothes. It then looked around in confusion.

The next moment, it paled in shock and ran toward Tang Liu, who was flying away, at astonishing speed.

Wrapped around its left forepaw was a slender blue vine.

Zhao Wuji halted his advance and frowned at the little fox running toward Tang Liu.

He had been wondering why Tang Liu had not used his first Soul Skill to protect himself.

So he had given it to the little fox in his arms.

Although Tang San had failed to pull Tang Liu away before Zhao Wuji's attack arrived, he still stopped Tang Liu's flying body in time.

But Tang Liu was in poor condition. Blood flowed from the corner of his lips, and he had fallen unconscious.

"Xiao Liu!"

Tang San's eyes instantly turned red.

Dad had told him to take good care of Xiao Liu, but what now?

On the very first day he had seen Xiao Liu again, he had watched helplessly as someone beat him into unconsciousness.
