Tang Mo had never imagined that the move he took the most pride in would have no effect whatsoever on Huo Xingling.
He could see a strange purple-gold light in Huo Xingling's eyes, so he boldly guessed that she must possess some powerful mental soul skill.
From the look of things, ranged attacks were completely useless against the enemy before him.
Tang Mo immediately recalled all his Demon Sword duplicates, reclaiming his soul power. Soon, the sixth pitch-black soul ring behind him began to flicker.
