Secret Art of Infinite Duration

A cold wind blew across Qin Yu's face, making his hair dance wildly, but he didn't stop what he was doing.

The next second, he appeared in the spot where he had stepped earlier.

At this moment, Wu Protector was highly focused, and his previous contempt had vanished.

This Dou Emperor was far more troublesome than any Dou Emperor he had ever seen.

Moreover, if we compare Yun Shan at his Peak Dou Emperor with this person in front of us...

Forget it, there's no comparison. That old man is having a hard time even breaking through to the Dou Zong.

Moreover, they are inefficient at handling tasks.

When asked to find someone with the surname Xiao, he actually refused to report it because the Xiao Household was too weak!

If he hadn't accidentally learned that the guy who made Three-Year Agreement with Nalan Yanran, the Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, was named Xiao Yan, he doesn't know when he would have found out!

Returning to the present, almost at the same time Qin Yu changed positions, Wu Protector turned around and unleashed countless black Soul Chain.

"Hundred-Soul Sky-Locking Python!"

As the Soul Chain flew toward Qin Yu, they intertwined and coalesced, forming a gigantic, eerie black python.

As soon as the black python took shape, it let out a shrill and piercing hiss that struck Qin Yu's soul, forcing Qin Yu to abandon the move and instead engage in a fierce battle with Wu Protector.

The phantom of the Qilin and the giant black python clashed and tore at each other repeatedly. Wu Protector was almost dancing with the Soul Chain in his hand, but the phantom of the Qilin behind Qin Yu remained standing.

"... This protector refuses to believe that your secret technique for enhancing strength can last indefinitely!!"

After being hit by Qin Yu's Qilin Fist once again, Wu Protector's momentum waned considerably.

Because Qin Yu unleashed this punch with full buffs, making it at least twice as powerful as his first punch!

However, Wu Protector's mindset was no longer as impatient as before.

Surely a secret technique that allows a Peak Dou Emperor to fight a Four-Star Dou Zong like him must have a time limit?

We've been playing for so long, time must be almost up!

Right!

"I'm sorry, but in this place, the duration of my secret technique is practically infinite."

These were the words Qin Yu murmured to himself.

If Wu Protector continues to fight him here, then the duration of his secret technique will truly be close to infinite!

Those many steps I just took weren't just for increasing speed and power.

If Wu Protector observes carefully, he will surely discover that a dark golden Qilin rune remains in every place Qin Yu has stepped over.

With the help of these runes and the power of the Earth Sovereign, Qin Yu's amplification technique lasts much longer!

Unless Qin Yu completely drains the power accumulated in this land over countless years, the secret technique will not fail.

Wu Protector, harboring the idea of wearing down Qin Yu's amplification technique, passively defended for a long time.

Even after being severely injured by Qin Yu's combination of Green Lotus Core Flame and Volcanic Rock Flame, Wu Protector was still in a daze.

no.

Does your secret technique really have no time limit?!

He, Wu Ying, had roamed the mainland for so many years and visited countless places, but he had never heard of any secret technique that could be so extraordinary!

"Damn it... Even if it costs me all the souls I have, I must bring you back today!"

Now, even Wu Ying himself knows that he has nowhere to run and his only way out is to reveal his trump card and fight with all his might.

Wu Protector's withered fingers reached into his robes and suddenly pulled out two grayish-white orbs of light.

Within the ball of light, a distorted humanoid silhouette could be vaguely seen, its face blurred, constantly emitting silent shrieks—the two Dou Emperor- level souls he had imprisoned.

He was about to unleash the Nine-Forest Hundred Soul Devouring Secret Technique.

This secret technique, which consumes souls, can forcibly boost one's strength in a short period of time. Although it causes great damage to the user, its effects are extremely powerful.

If he can successfully launch the attack, he still has a chance to turn the tide.

The moment Qin Yu's gaze fell upon the two orbs of light, he understood Wu Protector's intention.

He stepped forward with his right foot, and a dark golden light spread out from beneath his feet.

A massive Qilin head materialized from in front of his fist, wreathed in dark red flames of Volcanic Rock Flame, and slammed into Wu Protector's face.

Just as Wu Protector had sent the two souls into his palm and before he could activate his secret technique, he was forced to dodge to the side.

The Qilin head grazed his shoulder, leaving a scorch mark on his black robe from the scorching flames.

This scene feels strangely familiar...

Yes, that's exactly how he interrupted Qin Yu's move.

The next second, Qin Yu's second punch followed.

Wu Protector hastily defended himself, but the force of the impact sent him sliding backward several feet, and the two orbs of soul light in his palm nearly slipped out of his hand.

Qin Yu gave him no chance to catch his breath, seizing the opportunity to kick the cripple's good leg hard.

Wu Protector could only retreat and dodge, having no time to activate that secret technique.

If he had known this would happen, he should have activated the Nine-Forest Hundred Soul Devouring directly during the confrontation, instead of harboring any illusions.

But it's too late to say anything now.

After parrying Qin Yu's repeated attacks, Wu Protector finally seized a very brief opening and crushed the ball of light in his hand without hesitation.

"Burst!"

The Dou Emperor- level soul let out a shrill cry, then suddenly exploded, and a violent soul shock spread outwards like an invisible storm.

Qin Yu was forced to stop his pursuit. He crossed his arms to protect himself, and a dark golden Dou Qi barrier condensed on his body. A phantom of Qilin appeared behind him, blocking the soul impact.

He only discovered during the battle that his ability to resist soul attacks was surprisingly strong when activating the Qilin Power.

The instant Qin Yu stopped, Wu Protector had already sent the remaining soul into his own body.

His body trembled violently, the crimson light in his eyes surged, and the black mist surrounding him instantly thickened several times over, emitting a muffled expanding sound.

"Hahaha, I've succeeded as the protector!"

Wu Protector's previously listless aura suddenly surged, leaping from Four-Star Dou Zong to Six-Star Dou Zong, and his withered body even swelled up slightly.

Qin Yu's Dou Qi barrier was slowly dissipating, and he appeared quite calm.

Wu Protector's cold smile crept to his lips, before he could even speak, a dark golden chain suddenly shot out from the air, heading straight for his back.

Wu Protector flicked his hand back, deflecting the chain. He glanced in the direction the chain had come from, and his smile instantly froze on his face.

One, two, three... more dark gold chains were shooting out of thin air from the spots where Qin Yu had stepped out earlier.

Each chain is engraved with intricate Qilin patterns, with dark golden light flowing endlessly between the patterns.

Countless chains intertwined and weaved through the air, rapidly forming an airtight, sealed cage centered on Wu Protector.

Wu Protector almost laughed in anger. These chains were clearly imitating the method he had used to trap Qin Yu before.

"You... you used my own methods against me?"
