I Have a Move, and It's Powerful

Xuan Zi had been sitting atop the cavern drinking when the violent commotion below made him pause.

The next instant, he flashed into the depths of the cavern like a streak of light. A cold, manic laugh rang out from within.

"Hahaha! Die, all of you!"

"How do you like this divine envoy's Corpse Explosion? So what if you're strong? Mere ants dare to provoke me?"

The center of the blast was the worst hit.

Only Dai Yueheng had sensed something wrong in time. Relying on his powerful body, he endured the impact while retreating and barely escaped with his life.

Yao Haoxuan, Chen Zifeng, and Gongyang Mo were swallowed whole by the raging blast, their fates unknown.

At the rear, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu failed to react in time. Instinctively, they grabbed the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo and pulled them in front of themselves to shield against the impact.

Dazed by the shockwave, Zhou Yi's face changed drastically. She turned and fled without hesitation.

"Bastard!"

Xuan Zi cursed as he rushed into the cavern.

Looking over the rubble-strewn cavern, Xuan Zi slammed a fist down, shattering the heavy slab pinning Ning Tian.

But with so many injured disciples inside, he did not dare unleash too much power.

A moment later, violent explosions erupted one after another in the connected passage below, and the entire passage began to collapse.

Xuan Zi's expression changed. "Zhou Yi, you bastard! Get back here now and take all the wounded out!"

Zhou Yi, who had already fled some distance, stopped short. Her voice broke as she screamed, "No... I can't! My face is hurt! I'm disfigured!"

Xuan Zi was furious. "One more word, and I'll kill you first!"

Zhou Yi went rigid. At last, she gritted her teeth and returned, forcing herself through her panic to search for the wounded.

Xuan Zi snorted and sped deeper inside.

"Yao Haoxuan, Chen Zifeng..."

Before he could finish, several mangled corpses on the ground suddenly swelled and gave off a blinding white light.

Xuan Zi's pupils contracted. He immediately drove his Soul Power to its limit to withstand the impact.

"Damn it!"

Three days later, in the mountains near the Heaven Dou Empire's border.

One Soul Sage and five Soul Emperors had Xu Sanshi and a Soul Sage surnamed Mo trapped in the forest.

Mo Feiyun's face darkened. "Who are you people? How dare you openly ambush us on the Heaven Dou Empire's border?"

The men opposite ignored his question. Their leader, the Soul Sage, studied Xu Sanshi. "Xu Sanshi! Where is Huo Yuhao?"

Xu Sanshi looked helpless. "If you're looking for Huo Yuhao, why corner me? Haven't you got the wrong person?"

The Soul Sage sneered. "Stop playing dumb. We found out that your group left Shrek on the same day a few days ago, then turned up together in a border town of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Tell us where Huo Yuhao is, or none of you will leave here today!"

Xu Sanshi frowned. "You know our movements that well. Who exactly are you?"

The Soul Sage snorted. "That's none of your business. If you won't talk, we'll help jog your memory!"

Mo Feiyun stepped beside Xu Sanshi and discreetly handed him a token. "Leave as soon as you can. I'll hold them off."

"But..." Xu Sanshi hesitated. "That's too dangerous!"

"I'll be fine," Mo Feiyun said calmly. "I have a Self-Created Soul Skill that can hold them off for a while."

"Besides, my Soul Power is higher than theirs. I can last long enough."

"Head straight for the Spirit Mountain Range. The empire has border troops stationed there. Show them my token and ask for reinforcements."

Xu Sanshi hesitated briefly, then gritted his teeth and nodded.

Mo Feiyun smiled faintly. "Remember, the instant I make my move, fly away at full speed. Don't look back."

Xu Sanshi nodded. The flying Soul Tool on his back activated, ready to launch.

The men opposite narrowed their eyes and prepared to attack.

Mo Feiyun's lips curved upward. "After keeping a low profile all these years, I never thought today would be the day I could no longer hide it."

As his words fell, the seven soul rings around him lit up.

Light-attribute energy gathered and compressed in his palm, forming a dazzling ball in an instant.

The opposing Soul Sage's expression tightened. "Careful. This man may be more than he seems."

Mo Feiyun laughed. "Watch closely. Don't blink! This move is going to look amazing!"

His soul rings flashed in succession, and his Soul Power surged violently.

The ball of light in his palm expanded, contracted, then expanded and contracted again. Its growing energy faintly distorted the surrounding air.

Roar! A tiger's roar rang out.

The opposing Soul Sage looked grave as his muscles bulged.

"We're both Soul Sages. You think I'm afraid of you?"

Mo Feiyun glanced at Xu Sanshi and gave him a subtle signal.

The next instant, the ball of light shot from his palm and exploded in the middle of the battlefield.

Xu Sanshi seized the chance. He drove his flying Soul Tool at full power and fled without looking back.

Mo Feiyun smiled calmly. "Observe carefully. Learn from this. Even in defeat, what you see today will serve you for life."

But the devastating shockwave they expected did not come.

Instead, an unbearably bright light flooded the entire forest in an instant.

Screams rang out one after another.

"Ah! My eyes!"

Every one of the soul masters blocking their path felt a stabbing pain in their eyes. They clutched their faces and fell to the ground.

Mo Feiyun grinned slyly. "Not bad, my Solar Fist, is it?"

"Hahahaha!"

Xu Sanshi flew at full speed in the direction Mo Feiyun had given him.

Even from so far away, the blinding light behind him was staggering.

"Uncle Mo is that strong? That move covered an absurd amount of ground!"

"Those people must have been blown to bits, right?"

"Then why did he send me for reinforcements?"

Xu Sanshi was puzzled, but he kept flying.

About five minutes later, a burly figure swooped down from high above and landed directly in Xu Sanshi's path.

The old man's gaze fell on the token in Xu Sanshi's hand. "Boy, is that Old Mo's token? Where did you get it?"

Xu Sanshi hurriedly asked, "Senior, you know Uncle Mo?"

The old man nodded. "I'm Gao Qiang. You could say I'm his superior."

Delighted, Xu Sanshi said at once, "Thank goodness, Senior! Mysterious soul masters ambushed us in the forest ahead. Uncle Mo stayed behind to hold them off and sent me to the Spirit Mountain Range for help!"

Gao Qiang nodded. "I see. Then you must be Xu Sanshi, the young man Song mentioned."

Xu Sanshi blinked. "You know me, Senior?"

Gao Qiang chuckled. "I was ordered to come to the border to hunt down some evil soul masters on the run."

"Looks like my timing was good. Come on, lead the way. We can talk as we go."

"All right!" Xu Sanshi answered at once.
