Huo Yuhao ran across Sea God Lake, every inch of water beneath his feet turning to solid ice. With the Twelve-Layer Heavenly Net Art, he raced toward the opposite shore like lightning.
Even so, his speed naturally could not match that of Sleeping Nightmare Douluo, who possessed the cultivation of a Titled Douluo. Moreover, Sleeping Nightmare Douluo wore a Flying Soul Tool of at least Class Seven, making him several times faster than Huo Yuhao.
In just three breaths, Sleeping Nightmare Douluo had already reached Huo Yuhao's back, his withered hands reaching out to seize him.
Yet at that moment, Huo Yuhao turned back and smiled at Sleeping Nightmare Douluo. The space between his brows distorted, and a vertical eye flickering with silver flames instantly opened.
Sensing the Holy Spirit Soul-Eating Flame's aura, Sleeping Nightmare Douluo hastily withdrew his outwardly projected spiritual power and circulated his Soul Power at full strength to protect his Sea of Consciousness.
Whether during the Soul Fighting Tournament or his earlier battle against Han Ruoruo, Huo Yuhao's Silver Flame Vertical Eye had displayed tremendous power. Sleeping Nightmare Douluo knew perfectly well that those eerie silver flames were an extremely potent counter to spiritual power.
What he had not expected was that Huo Yuhao had released the Holy Spirit Soul-Eating Flame not to attack him, but to send it straight into Ma Xiaotao's body and then into her brain.
"No!" As though something had suddenly occurred to him, Sleeping Nightmare Douluo's expression changed drastically. His Flying Soul Tool spewed a dazzling jet of light and flame, and his speed surged as he flew toward Huo Yuhao, seemingly intent on stopping him.
However, a pair of silvery-white flaming wings suddenly appeared behind Huo Yuhao. With a slight beat of those wings, his body rose into the air.
