Kuang Zhen hurled a punch, the brilliant pearly-white light on his fist surging.
Chen Xinjie swung his trident across to block. With a dull thud, a terrifying vibrational force spread through the trident into his entire body. Even the Soul Power within him shook, and his blood churned.
Before he could steady himself, a vicious gust struck from behind. Jinglei had silently circled around him, his claws driving straight toward the back of his heart as arcs of lightning crackled.
Chen Xinjie had no time to turn. The seawater beneath his feet instantly condensed into a thick ice shield behind him. At the same time, he twisted at the waist and thrust his trident backward.
Rrrip—
The claws shredded the ice shield, their lingering force grazing Chen Xinjie's back and tearing open a wound. Cold lightning burrowed into his body through the cut, and numbness spread instantly. But Chen Xinjie's counterattack also forced Jinglei to dodge away.
With that strike landing, the two attacked even more fiercely.
Kuang Zhen formed seals with both hands, driving Prison-Shaking Light Blade to its limit. Several enormous white blades of light materialized out of thin air, slashing toward Chen Xinjie from every direction with a vibrational force that could tear everything apart.
At the same time, Jinglei opened his mouth and spat, bringing down Ten Thousand Thunder Prison. Countless bolts of lightning as thick as an arm descended from the sky, weaving together with the light blades into an impenetrable net of attacks that completely enveloped Chen Xinjie.
"Break!"
Chen Xinjie roared, pushing his Seventh Soul Skill, Vast Sea True Body, to its limit. The immense Sea God Phantom behind him spread its arms. Boundless seawater converged from every direction, forming a gigantic sphere of water around him.
Boom, boom, boom, boom—!!
