I'll Wipe Every Evil Soul Master from the Face of the Earth! Let Tragedy Never Happen Again!

"Get back!!"

Ye Guyi's expression turned grave, and her wings burst open behind her as the Holy Angel fully possessed her!

Her snow-white wings shielded the people behind her,

while dazzling golden light flared from the long sword in her hand. Not a trace of hesitation showed in her golden eyes.

A champion of justice would protect everyone!

"I'll buy you time! Get out of here as soon as you can!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple!

All four Soul Rings lit up almost simultaneously,

and the Soul Power of a forty-sixth-level Soul Ancestor poured out without restraint.

Dazzling holy light transformed into a sword and slashed toward the black figure with the weaker aura.

The Second Holy Spirit dodged aside, choosing not to take the attack head-on.

Only someone with evil energy clouding their mind would choose to meet an attack with holy attributes head-on.

"Ke ke ke ke... A dying struggle!!!"

He let out a hoarse, mocking laugh. Two yellow, two purple, and two black Soul Rings rose from his body.

Then the green Soul Fire in his eye sockets suddenly shot up three feet!

All six Soul Rings began to burn fiercely!!

His body rapidly swelled like a balloon,

and bone-white skeleton burst through his flesh with a series of teeth-grating cracks.

In the space of just two breaths,

a gigantic black skeleton, over three meters tall, stood in the hall!

His physical strength reached Soul Saint level after he burned it...

Xu Qing watched the strange transformation, thoughtful and not the least bit flustered.

Elder Yi, in his mind, was even calmer. He had even secretly collected half a wisp of evil energy, wanting to study it.

But when he found it was nothing more than filthy, mixed Soul Power,

he abandoned the idea and simply went back to studying the Soul Tool knowledge he'd recorded earlier.

He wasn't worried about Xu Qing's safety in the slightest.

"Second Brother, play to your heart's content. Take your time and do whatever you like!"

The Great Holy Spirit folded his arms, revealing a row of sinister red fangs.

"I've already dragged them into the cult. Now they can neither ascend to the heavens nor descend into the earth!"

The dense black fog around them receded, revealing the scene beneath.

"Ke ke..."

"An Angel, an Angel!"

"A sacrifice for the Holy Emperor!!"

More than a dozen shrill voices rang out one after another.

The world around them had been turned upside down. They were in the underground hall of the Holy Spirit Cult in Ming Capital!

The lair of the Evil Soul Masters!

"Damn it!!"

Ye Guyi clenched her teeth. Her snow-white wings beat, and her pair of gleaming golden eyes radiated a bone-chilling cold!

She saw them: the heaps of bones underground, the tattered robes, and the resentful spirits wandering about, dead yet unable to close their eyes.

She felt them: the poor souls longing for salvation.

The aura around her began to rise steadily. Though her Soul Power was only at level forty-six, at that moment it seemed to have reached Soul King level!

"Phew..."

I'll wipe every Evil Soul Master from this world and make sure tragedy never happens again!

Ye Guyi turned her wrist and shifted the point of her sword. She lowered her eyes and murmured:

"Holy Angel, fight to the death and never retreat!!"

All four Soul Rings merged into her body. In an instant, a huge golden circle, tens of meters across, appeared out of nowhere!

Fourth Soul Skill! Holy Light Spirit Array!

Rumble!!

But she wasn't done!

She gripped her sword with both hands and raised it above her head, unleashing her Soul Skill with the determination to die!

Third Soul Skill! Holy Hymn!

"Evil! Bow your heads and accept your punishment!!"

At the same time as her voice rang out, Ye Guyi's mental transmission appeared.

I'm sorry, Xu Qing. I dragged you into this. I'll hold them off. Find a chance to escape!

The innocent, pure-hearted Little Angel of Justice...

If I really left, what would I have come here for?

Xu Qing looked at the strange change around him. Ye Guyi's third Soul Skill had amplified him,

and the boost was quite good.

It increased even his Soul Power by nearly thirty percent, while also granting his attacks holy attributes.

The next moment, Ye Guyi didn't hesitate for even an instant. She gripped her sword in one hand, beat her wings,

and shot straight into the sky!

Her target was the Great Holy Spirit!

A level-seventy-eight Evil Soul Saint!

Sigh... The result was all too obvious.

"Boom—!!"

A gigantic bone claw appeared out of nowhere and struck Ye Guyi squarely.

She flew backward through the air like a kite with its strings cut, her back slamming into one of the hall's stone pillars with a dull crash.

Web-like cracks split the pillar, and fragments pattered to the ground.

"Pfft—"

Ye Guyi spat out a mouthful of blood. Her golden hair fell loose over her shoulders, but her gleaming golden eyes remained fixed on the Great Holy Spirit in the air.

Her wings beat hard, wrenching her free of the pillar. She planted her sword on the ground, using it to support her trembling body.

"Arrogant Holy Angel,"

the Great Holy Spirit said, extending his long, forked tongue like a serpent to lick the wound on his face, seared by holy energy.

"Do you think your attribute advantage can make up for the difference in levels? That it can bridge a full thirty-two levels of Soul Power!?"

"Utterly laughable. Utterly foolish!"

"Ke ke ke, struggle! Resist! Despair!"

"An Angel sunk in despair tastes all the sweeter!"

Xu Qing walked forward from behind at an unhurried pace.

The soles of his shoes crunched softly over the rubble.

He paused as he passed Ye Guyi.

"If I were you..."

Xu Qing lifted his chin, indicating the Soul Ancestor grunts who were itching to attack.

"I'd clear out the little ones first."

"Use the Soul Power you get back when the Holy Angel kills Evil Soul Masters to raise your level."

"That would give you a better chance of surviving than charging straight at him and throwing your life away."

Ye Guyi lowered her head. Her Soul Power was already nearly exhausted.

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

Then again, I couldn't even hold them off...

"I'll take care of things here. Stand back."

Xu Qing passed her and took his place at the very front of the battlefield.

One hand in his pocket, his back straight.

As he spoke, four Soul Rings appeared around him, enough to make the Evil Soul Masters think he was one of their own.

Purple, purple, black, black!!

The air in the entire underground hall seemed to freeze.

"That Soul Ring Configuration...!?"

The Soul Fire in the Second Holy Spirit's eye sockets shrank abruptly.

"Which branch of our cult are you from?"

The Second Holy Spirit was thoroughly confused.

Did someone else beat us to the Angel?

But what about that light attribute earlier?

Have the other divisions already developed a Soul Skill that can simulate holy energy?

Xu Qing ignored the noise.

He began controlling the Soul Rings to fuse and create Ice Marrow.

With his experience training alongside the Ice Empress, doing this now was

as easy as breathing.

He tilted his head back and swallowed.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

The Soul Power fluctuations around him began to surge wildly!

Boom—!

Level fifty! He leaped straight to Soul King!!

"Miss Swan, you owe me another life."

Xu Qing's voice was hoarse as he slowly exhaled a cloud of white breath.

The Soul Power in his body was already a wild horse straining at the reins, ready to charge!

Before Ye Guyi could react, the color began to spread from deep within Xu Qing's left pupil.

An incomparable golden radiance began to shine!

This holy aura was even purer than hers!!

What... was that?
