Destruction Meets an Angel!

The night wind howled through the dark alley, thick with sinister aura and bone-chilling killing intent!

The eyes of the four black-robed evil soul masters turned utterly cold. Their lecherous thoughts vanished, leaving only extreme wariness and killing intent toward the martial soul that was their natural enemy.

Knowing that the Holy Angel suppressed all evil power, they dared not hold back!

If they let the tiger return to the mountain today, the entire lower ranks of the Holy Spirit Cult would be crushed beneath this radiant martial soul in the future!

"Attack! Kill her!"

The leading black-robed man roared, and pitch-black Soul Power erupted as three shadows charged forward at once!

Four entirely different sinister martial souls instantly possessed them.

Corrosive Ghost Spider, Venomous Bone Claw, Yin Fiend Demon Mist, Bloodshadow Soul Eater!

Four streams of foul, venomous, utterly murky evil power intertwined, forming a massive net of darkness that crushed down upon Ye Guyi from all four directions!

The explosive power of Soul Ancestors was enough to tear steel apart and shatter bricks and stone. An ordinary soul master of the same rank, surrounded like this, would instantly have their soul eroded by evil power and explode to death.

Unfortunately, they had encountered a Holy Angel!

A righteous martial soul that conquered all evil and dispersed every shadow!

"Holy Light Judgment!"

Ye Guyi's cool voice rang out, clear as jade and utterly without panic.

The six wings of light behind her flapped fiercely, and boundless golden holy light poured forth!

Fierce, pure, overwhelmingly tyrannical light-attribute Soul Power descended into the alley like a blazing sun!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!

The instant the dark evil power struck the holy light, it melted, burst apart, and evaporated wildly like ice and snow splashed with boiling oil!

The corrosive spider silk that harmed all it touched carbonized and shattered the moment it met the holy light.

The swirling Yin Fiend Demon Mist vanished like smoke upon encountering the light.

The proud evil techniques and killing moves of the four evil soul masters were all restrained, all suppressed, before the radiance of the Holy Angel!

"How is this possible?! We're both Soul Ancestors!"

One evil soul master's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.

At the same realm, the difference should have been minimal.

Yet at that moment, he felt that his Soul Power was like inferior sludge, while hers was like the blazing sun in the heavens!

They were not even on the same level!

Ye Guyi moved like a startled swan, her golden dress fluttering and her long hair dancing wildly. The golden sword in her hand spun out countless golden sword blossoms.

The sword light was sharp, holy, and piercing!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Several golden slashes swept in every direction!

She did not defend. She only attacked!

Since her martial soul suppressed theirs, she would crush them completely!

The radiant slash struck the evil soul master with the bone claw martial soul at the front.

Splurt!

His black robe exploded, flesh peeled back, and a shrill scream instantly echoed through the dead-silent alley.

The bone claw martial soul that corroded all things was directly burned into rotting ruin by the holy light.

His Soul Power collapsed, and he was sent flying into the wall, coughing up black blood.

One move had heavily wounded one of them!

The other three were shaken to the core, their hearts going utterly cold!

Terrifying!

Far too terrifying!

They were all Soul Ancestors, yet this suppression was utterly absurd!

"Don't spread out! Join forces and form the Evil Fiend Array!"

The leading black-robed man gritted his teeth and howled, knowing that fighting alone meant certain death.

Suppressing their fear, the four instantly shifted positions. The remaining three and the heavily wounded one wove their black aura together madly, condensing a huge, murky sphere of evil fiend power that carried endless resentment and viciousness as it blasted toward Ye Guyi!

This was their final trump card!

They fused their evil power to forcibly offset the martial soul suppression!

The alley was completely divided into light and dark!

On one side was ultimate evil darkness; on the other, supreme holy light!

Ye Guyi's beautiful eyes turned solemn. She neither dodged nor retreated, raising her holy sword overhead.

All the holy light around her gathered into the blade. The entire golden sword expanded several times over, blazing brilliantly with sacred majesty!

"Angel, Dawn!"

Her sword crashed down!

Golden sword light tore through the night, cleaving apart layers of murky air!

Boom—!

A world-shaking explosion thundered through the alley!

The moment the evil fiend sphere touched the edge of the holy sword, it ruptured and collapsed from the center!

The filthy evil aura scattered, burned, and was annihilated!

Screams rose one after another!

All three black-robed evil soul masters were swept by the aftershock of holy light. Black smoke rose from their bodies, their robes were torn to tatters, and they were sent flying in disarray, their meridians damaged and Soul Power thrown into chaos.

One against four!

Total domination from beginning to end!

A perfect demonstration of what it meant to be suppressed by one's natural enemy!

Yet the continuous high-intensity outbursts also caused Ye Guyi's breathing to fluctuate slightly. A fine sheen of sweat appeared on the tip of her delicate nose, and her Soul Power had been greatly depleted.

She was still only a Soul Ancestor. The difference in numbers was there. She could suppress and heavily wound them, but she could not kill all four instantly.

The four evil soul masters landed awkwardly, pale-faced and terrified, but they had also been completely driven mad by the beating!

"Her Soul Power is exhausted! She can't hold on anymore!"

"Go all out! Kill her!!"

With no way out, the four became utterly fearless and charged at her madly once more, seeking to seize the moment when Ye Guyi was exhausted and risk everything on a final reversal!

The battle became perilous once again!

And just as the fierce battle in the alley reached its peak, as the clash of righteousness and evil reached a fever pitch—

Within the shadows beneath the eaves at the deepest end of the alley—

A young figure stood silently.

Li Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, concealed in absolute darkness. Not a trace of aura leaked from his body, as though he had merged with the night itself.

His gaze was indifferent as he calmly watched the golden-dressed girl fight bathed in light, refusing to retreat even in the face of death. No ripple stirred in his eyes.

The phantom of a six-winged angel, a pure light martial soul, bloodline aura that was righteous and pure to the extreme...

Even though he had never met her before, he recognized Ye Guyi at a glance.

He also knew that she possessed the only complete Holy Angel martial soul in all of Douluo Continent!

A natural nemesis of all evil!

And the sharpest sword of the righteous path in the future!

At this moment, these low-ranking evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, who had disobeyed his orders, defied his ban, and continued their crimes, had happened to walk right into the line of fire.

Li Changsheng's gaze turned faintly cold.

Three days ago, he had ordered the entire cult to cease all killing and all evil cultivation.

These people believed the heavens were high and the emperor far away. They believed they could openly obey while secretly defying him.

They believed they could bully ordinary soul masters and ignore the new rules.

Unfortunately, they had encountered Ye Guyi—and walked straight into his line of fire.

Within the alley, killing intent surged to its peak.

Though the four evil soul masters knew their injuries were severe and their Soul Power was in chaos, their vicious natures had completely overwhelmed their minds.

They threw everything away, burning their remaining Soul Power and overdrawing the essence of their evil souls. Black aura surged around them, and only the madness of death remained in their eyes.

Since they could not win and could not escape, they would trade injuries with her at the cost of their lives!

Even if they perished together, they would drag this Holy Angel down with them!

The four shot forward, charging again from every direction with the ferocious momentum of those ready to die together. Their venomous killing moves targeted Ye Guyi's vital points.

Ye Guyi's brows were tightly drawn, and the golden light around her flickered unsteadily.

Several consecutive rounds of high-intensity holy light suppression and large-scale martial soul outbursts had already drained more than half her Soul Power.

At that moment, her breathing heaved violently, her arms felt slightly weak, and even the light wings of the Holy Angel had dimmed considerably. Less than half her combat strength remained.

Yet even against the desperate counterattack of the four evil soul masters, she showed not the slightest retreat.

Gritting her silver teeth, she poured all her remaining light-attribute Soul Power into the Angel Holy Sword, preparing to meet this desperate strike head-on.

Using the final advantage of martial soul suppression to forcibly end the battle!

But just as both sides were about to collide once more, in that instant where life and death hung in the balance—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Four incomparably profound, dark, and pure black divine rays suddenly shot through the endless darkness!

They were impossibly fast and utterly silent, crossing the entire alley!

Before the four evil soul masters charging desperately could react or find any chance to evade, the black light instantly coiled around their limbs, locking down their bodies and imprisoning their souls!

Boom!

An incomparably tyrannical binding force, far beyond the level of Soul Power in the lower realm, erupted in an instant!

The four evil soul masters, who had just been brimming with ferocity as they fought madly for their lives, suddenly froze stiff in midair!

Their limbs could not move, their Soul Power could not circulate, their martial souls could not be activated, and even the roars in their throats were completely stuck!

Like four puppets nailed to the night, they did not move an inch!

Their eyes instantly filled with extreme terror and confusion. They had no idea what had happened, much less where this sudden and terrifying dark power had come from!

It was only a brief instant of absolute imprisonment!

Their weakness was completely exposed!

The perfect chance for a killing blow vanished in an instant!

Ye Guyi's gaze sharpened, and she did not hesitate in the slightest!

Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she condensed all her remaining holy light onto the sword's edge. Golden sword light flashed through the air!

The dazzling, holy angel sword light swept across the necks of the four stiff, unmoving black figures!

Splurt—!

Four neat sprays of blood burst out at once!

There was no resistance, no struggle!

The four evil soul masters who had defied cult rules, slaughtered living beings indiscriminately, and harbored wicked designs had their heads roll to the ground together, their bodies crashing down behind them!

Their auras were extinguished instantly. They were dead beyond doubt!

The chaotic evil aura scattered across the ground dissipated, and the killing intent in the alley suddenly faded.

The battlefield, stretched to its utmost tension, instantly returned to dead silence.

The sword in Ye Guyi's hand drooped slightly as the last of her strength was completely drained away.

She could no longer hold herself up. Her body swayed faintly, and she leaned her back lightly against the cold alley wall, exhaling a long breath of turbid air.

Her chest rose and fell slightly. Her exquisite face was pale, and the fine golden strands of hair over her forehead were soaked with cold sweat.

After the prolonged battle and the overdrawn Soul Power, she had completely lost the ability to fight any further.

Forget encountering another powerful enemy—even an ordinary Soul Elder could attack her now, and she would be powerless to resist.

This was not a place to linger!

She had to leave this dangerous, deserted dark alley immediately!

Under cover of the empty night, she needed to quickly regulate her breathing and recover, putting distance between herself and danger!

With that thought, Ye Guyi forced her exhausted body upright, tightened her grip on the Angel Holy Sword, and was about to take a step away when—

A lean, tall figure dressed in black slowly emerged from the pitch-black mouth of the alley.

The night framed his figure, and the evening wind stirred the hem of his clothes.

The newcomer walked with calm, unhurried steps. There was not the slightest trace of hostility around him, yet somehow, the remaining wind, warmth, and aura throughout the entire alley froze in place.

Ye Guyi, who had intended to flee immediately, froze where she stood.

Her heart tightened abruptly, and the fine hairs across her body quietly stood on end.

The figure in the dark alley entrance gradually became clear.

An unknown pressure quietly enveloped her entire body...
