I Will Purge All Evil Soul Masters from the World! Let Tragedy Never Happen Again!

"Fall back!!"

Ye Guyi's expression turned stern as the wings behind her erupted outward, the Holy Angel fully possessing her!

Her snow-white wings shielded those behind her firmly.

The longsword in her hand birthed streaks of dazzling golden light, and there was not a hint of retreat in those golden eyes.

A messenger of justice would protect everyone!

"I will buy you time! Leave this place as quickly as you can!"

Hum-hum-hum--!

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple!

Four soul rings lit up almost simultaneously.

The soul power fluctuations of a level 46 soul master poured out without reservation.

The brilliant holy light transformed into a sharp blade, slashing toward the black figure with the weaker aura.

Second Holy Spirit dodged to the side, choosing not to take the hit head-on; only someone with evil energy rotted into their brain would choose to tank an attack with the holy attribute.

"Hehehehe... a deathbed struggle!!!"

He let out a hoarse, strange laugh as two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings rose from his body.

Immediately following, the green soul fire in his eye sockets suddenly flared three feet high!

The six soul rings began to burn violently!!

His body expanded rapidly like an inflating balloon.

Pale white bones pierced through his flesh and skin, the crunch-crunch sound setting one's teeth on edge.

In a mere two breaths, a massive black skeleton over three meters tall appeared in the arena!

To think his physical strength reached that of a Soul Saint after burning his body...

Xu Qing watched this peculiar transformation, looking thoughtful and showing not a shred of panic.

As for Elder Yi in his mind, he was even more composed, even secretly snatching a wisp of evil energy to study it.

Upon discovering that its essence was merely incredibly filthy, jumbled soul power, he completely abandoned the thought and simply went back to studying the Soul Tool knowledge he had just recorded.

He was not the least bit worried about Xu Qing's safety.

"Second, play to your heart's content, slowly, as you wish!"

Great Holy Spirit crossed his arms, revealing ghastly red teeth.

"I have already dragged them into the cult; they now have no road to heaven and no door to the earth!"

The black fog that had blocked out the sky all around faded away, revealing the true scene.

"Heh-heh..."

"Angel, angel!"

"This is a sacrifice for the Holy Emperor!!"

Over a dozen shrill voices rose and fell in succession.

The world had changed here; this was none other than the underground hall of the Holy Spirit Cult in Ming Capital!

The lair of the Evil Soul Masters!

"Damn it!!"

Ye Guyi gritted her teeth, her snow-white wings flapping as her dazzling golden eyes radiated a chilling intensity!

She saw the piles of bones, tattered robes, and wandering, unavenged vengeful spirits here underground.

She felt those pitiful souls yearning for salvation.

The aura on her body began to climb steadily; despite clearly being only level 46 soul power, at this moment, it felt as if she had reached the level of a Soul King!

"Hoo..."

I will purge every single Evil Soul Master in this world so that such tragedies never happen again!

Ye Guyi twisted her wrist to shift the blade's edge, lowering her head to chant softly:

"Holy Angel, fight to the death without retreat!!"

All four soul rings merged into her body, and in an instant, a massive golden ring spanning dozens of meters appeared out of thin air!

Fourth Soul Skill! Holy Light Spirit Array!

Rumble!!

It wasn't over yet!

She held her sword with both hands, raising it above her head! With a heart set on death, she poured everything into unleashing her soul skill!

Third Soul Skill! Holy Hymn!

"Evil! Bow your head and face judgment!!"

Simultaneous with her voice came Ye Guyi's mental transmission.

I'm sorry, Xu Qing, it's my fault you're dragged into this. I'll hold them off in a moment; you find a chance to leave!

A naive and innocent Little Angel.

If I were really going to leave, why would I have come here in the first place?

Xu Qing looked at the anomaly surrounding his body; he had been buffed by Ye Guyi's third soul skill.

The amplification ratio was quite impressive.

It provided nearly a thirty percent boost to his Soul Power, while his attacks were also imbued with the holy attribute.

The next second, without a hint of hesitation, Ye Guyi held her sword in one hand and flapped the wings behind her back.

She soared into the sky!

Her target was the Great Holy Spirit!

That level seventy-eight Evil Soul Saint!

Sigh... the outcome was self-evident.

"BOOM--!!"

A massive bone claw appeared out of thin air, slamming solidly into Ye Guyi's body.

Like a kite with a broken string, she flew backward from mid-air, her back slamming into a stone pillar in the hall with a dull, thunderous thud.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the stone pillar, and debris rained down.

"Pfft--"

Ye Guyi spat out a mouthful of blood, her golden hair cascading over her shoulders, her brilliant golden eyes still locked firmly onto the Great Holy Spirit in the air.

She flapped her wings violently, tearing herself away from the stone pillar, and propped herself up with her long sword to support her swaying body.

"Arrogant Holy Angel,"

The Great Holy Spirit extended a forked, snake-like tongue, licking the wounds on his face scorched by the holy aura.

"Do you think that relying on attribute suppression can make up for the gap in levels? Can it allow you to bridge a chasm of a full thirty-two levels of Soul Power!?"

"Ridiculous! Utterly ignorant!"

"Hehehe, struggle! Resist! Feel the resentment!"

"An angel trapped in despair is all the more delicious!"

Xu Qing walked slowly from the rear.

His pace was unhurried, the soles of his shoes crunching against the gravel with a faint sound.

He paused for a moment as he passed by Ye Guyi.

"If I were you..."

Xu Qing tilted his chin, gesturing toward the Soul Ancestor minions who were beginning to stir.

"I would clear out these small fries first."

"Use the Soul Power feedback from killing Evil Soul Masters as a Holy Angel to raise your own level."

"The chances of surviving that way are a bit higher than recklessly throwing your life away."

Ye Guyi lowered her head, her internal Soul Power already bottomed out.

He didn't take the chance to leave...

Then again, I couldn't even manage to hold them back.

"Leave this to me, step back."

Xu Qing walked past her and stood at the very front of the battlefield.

One hand in his pocket, his back straight.

As he spoke, four soul rings—enough to make any Evil Soul Master mistake him for one of their own—gradually emerged around him.

Purple, Purple, Black, Black!!

The air in the entire underground hall seemed to freeze.

"Such a soul ring configuration...!?"

The soul fire in the Second Holy Spirit's eye sockets shrank violently.

"Which branch of our sect are you from?"

The Second Holy Spirit felt utterly bewildered at this moment.

Had he run into someone intercepting the angel?

But what about that light attribute from earlier?

Had other departments already developed soul skills capable of simulating a holy aura?

Xu Qing ignored the noise, beginning to control the fusion of his soul rings to forge ice marrow. With the experience gained from training alongside the Ice Empress, he could now accomplish this as easily as breathing.

He tilted his head back and swallowed.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

The fluctuations of Soul Power on his body began to climb frantically!

BOOM—!

Level fifty! A leap to become a Soul King!!

"Miss Swan, you owe me another life."

Xu Qing's voice was hoarse as he slowly exhaled a puff of white mist. The Soul Power within his body was like a wild horse off its leash, poised and ready to strike!

Before Ye Guyi could react, a golden hue began to bleed from the depths of Xu Qing's left pupil.

An incomparable golden radiance began to bloom!

This holy aura was even purer than her own!!

What... was that?
