The Ming Battle Mountain Range.
Mountains and rivers had been torn asunder.
The corpses of Niu Tian and Tai Tan lay sprawled on the ground.
After collecting their Soul Bones, Du Busi used a Soul Tool to gather the Soul Rings left behind by their deaths.
Both had undergone soul beast transformation, so it made perfect sense for them to leave Soul Rings after dying.
"Dai Mubai, Star Luo City..."
Du Busi looked toward Star Luo City, his voice icy.
He was about to set off and storm into Star Luo City.
But a voice stopped him.
"Wait."
Du Busi stiffened, then turned toward the voice.
Behind several charred trees, he spotted a familiar figure.
"Qin Xiao."
A smile appeared on Du Busi's aged, cold face.
"Thank you for your efforts."
Looking at the two bodies on the ground, Qin Xiao offered his sincere thanks.
Du Busi had helped him eliminate Niu Tian and Tai Tan, and had defeated Dai Mubai as well, buying him more time to grow.
"Why did you stop me from destroying Dai Mubai's avatar?"
Du Busi asked in puzzlement.
"Because I need some time."
Qin Xiao answered seriously.
"How long?"
"The longer, the better."
If Dai Mubai's avatar died, Dai Mubai would know instantly.
Although he would not know what had happened, he might very well send down even greater power. That would be anything but good for Qin Xiao.
"All right, I understand."
Du Busi nodded firmly, then added, "Sometimes, I really can't see through you."
"Could it be that you've never seen through me?" Qin Xiao asked with a mischievous grin.
"You little brat..."
Du Busi cursed with a laugh. "Do I look that blind to you?"
Qin Xiao nodded emphatically.
"Get lost!" Du Busi stamped his foot in fury.
Time raced
