Ye Guyi was now a level 28 Soul Grandmaster. When she discovered that Dottore was only a level 25 Soul Grandmaster, she refused to accept it. She raised her Angel Sword and slashed at the Air-Locking Cube trapping her, but failed to break it.
"Don't waste your effort, Miss Ye Guyi." Kong Bo extended a hand in an inviting gesture.
"In your dreams!" Ye Guyi swung the golden Holy Angel Sword in her hand again and again, striking the barrier of the Air-Locking Cube with one slash after another, but the Angel Sword simply could not break the cube.
"I told you, you cannot refuse." Kong Bo spoke coldly.
"I... can really do this? All right, all right. I'll leave it to you." Ye Guyi spoke at that moment, but from the look in her eyes, Kong Bo could tell she was not speaking to him.
Then, before Kong Bo's eyes, Ye Guyi's entire aura underwent a complete transformation. Her angel wings spread open, radiating holy light, while the Holy Angel Sword became even more dazzling and blazing. Ye Guyi swung her sword, cleaving Kong Bo's Air-Locking Cube directly in half. Then she pointed the Angel Sword at Kong Bo, her gaze lofty and cold.
"Trying to seize the Angel God's trump card?" Ye Guyi said coldly. "Then bring out all your trump cards too. Let me see what a level 25 Soul Grandmaster is capable of. Otherwise, bullying the weak with the strong would be truly boring."
"As you wish." Kong Bo activated Martial Soul Possession. Three moons revolved around his body. At the same time, he took the Mechanical Triangle from his Storage Bracelet. With a thought, it transformed into four Moon Shuttles. Then the pale-blue Frost Moon flashed, filling the four Moon Shuttles with Frost Moon's Ultimate Ice attribute.
"Go!" Kong Bo pointed with his right hand, and the four Moon Shuttles flew straight at Ye Guyi.
"Then let me test you!" Ye Guyi's eyes were filled with fighting spirit as she flew toward Kong Bo.
"?" Ye Guyi's fighting style soon greatly surprised Kong Bo. He controlled the four Moon Shuttles to stab toward her. Ye Guyi stepped on one Moon Shuttle and leaped away. Another Moon Shuttle stabbed toward her from the side, but she swung her Angel Sword and knocked it flying. Using the momentum of that swing, she spun and knocked away another Moon Shuttle.
At the same time, Kong Bo used the first two Moon Shuttles she had knocked away to fire Frost Rays at Ye Guyi from behind. Ye Guyi accelerated to evade the two Frost Rays and closed the distance, entering Kong Bo's close range before slashing at him.
Bang! As the blazing Angel Sword came down at Kong Bo, a large amount of icy mechanism-attribute energy rapidly condensed before him, blocking the strike and knocking Ye Guyi back. The two stood on the ground once more, staring at each other as they circled around their shared center. Kong Bo continued watching Ye Guyi through his beak-shaped mask, while Ye Guyi stared directly at him.
"Ultimate Ice. Is that your trump card?" Ye Guyi asked.
"Hmph. Your trump card has truly surprised me," Kong Bo said. "Or rather... your trump card has truly delighted me..."
Kong Bo's tone rose slightly. "I never expected an angel to be so close to me. Should I call you Ye Guyi now, or should I call you by the name Spirit Hall erased nearly ten thousand years ago—Qian Renxue, the former Angel God? Did you think I had never watched Ye Guyi's matches?"
Kong Bo thought that this transmigration had truly been worthwhile. He had never expected that the great beauty from ten thousand years ago had actually lingered on until now. That was practically a guaranteed addition to his harem.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand!" Ye Guyi hurriedly refuted him. Yet that overly eager denial only confirmed Kong Bo's suspicion: the current Ye Guyi was not herself. Qian Renxue was fighting in her place.
"But it doesn't matter, Miss Angel God. Let me see your strength." Kong Bo said.
Before Kong Bo had even finished speaking, "Ye Guyi" charged at him again. Kong Bo's four Moon Shuttles stabbed toward "Ye Guyi" once more. This time, Ye Guyi darted and weaved, relying on the speed of her angel martial soul to evade all four Moon Shuttles again. She entered Kong Bo's melee range and slashed her sword at him.
Kong Bo had received Mental Guidance from Gu Long'er, and his spiritual power was far stronger than that of ordinary people. This granted him sharper perception, allowing him to dodge the strike directly.
"Ye Guyi" was also battle-hardened. She immediately swung her sword backhanded. After Kong Bo dodged her downward slash, the sword in her hand instantly changed direction and stabbed toward him at incredible speed. Kong Bo did not evade this strike, instead using an Ice Shield to block the lightning-fast attack.
Then "Ye Guyi" immediately withdrew her sword and moved to Kong Bo's right. A moment later, she thrust again, but Kong Bo blocked it once more with an Ice Shield.
At that moment, Kong Bo's four Moon Shuttles targeted "Ye Guyi," firing four ice rays at her. A deep-yellow Soul Ring lit up around Ye Guyi, followed by a brilliant golden sword aura that slashed at the four ice rays. The ice-attribute and fire-attribute attacks collided, and a vast cloud of mist swallowed both figures. In the instant before it did, Kong Bo saw a flash of light at "Ye Guyi's" position.
"Waiting for me here? I've been waiting for you too." The corners of Kong Bo's lips curled up. He simply stopped concealing the age of his Soul Rings, and a second purple Soul Ring lit up around him. Frost Moon Protection activated instantly, forming a sturdy Ice Shield on Kong Bo's back. With a clang, it blocked "Ye Guyi's" slash. At that moment, Kong Bo used another Air-Locking Cube on himself.
The Air-Locking Cube had an area of effect. By choosing himself as its target, Kong Bo naturally enclosed both himself and "Ye Guyi" within it, sealing off her retreat.
Kong Bo then turned around and controlled the Ice Shield with his hand, pressing "Ye Guyi" against the barrier of the Air-Locking Cube. At the same time, the first purple Soul Ring on his body lit up. His first soul skill, Moonlight Blessing, provided a five-thousand-year soul-skill-level enhancement, while Kong Bo's Ice Explosion stood ready to be unleashed.
Then Kong Bo said to Qian Renxue, "Miss Angel God, as you can see, I possess the Ultimate Ice attribute, and you have no route of retreat left. I assume you have heard that the soul beasts of the Far North possess a soul skill called Ice Explosion. As it happens, I can use it too. Now I will give you two choices. Either agree to my deal and come to my side, or I will unleash Ice Explosion right now. I'm very curious whether Miss Ye Guyi's body can withstand an Ice Explosion empowered by my five-thousand-year enhancement soul skill."
