"These seven?" Xiao Yan eyed the Seven Deadly Sins Gods with a trace of eagerness. His gaze swept over them for a moment before he suddenly chuckled and shot into the sky, the Seven Deadly Sins Gods following close behind.
Above the sea of trees, Xiao Yan hovered in the sky with his Ice and Fire Bone Wings beating. Behind him, the Seven Deadly Sins Gods hung expressionlessly in midair.
"You. Use thirty percent of your strength and throw a punch at him!" Xiao Yan randomly ordered one of the Sin Gods, then pointed at Dugu Bo below.
The words had barely left his mouth when a red gleam surfaced in the God of Pride's eyes, and he hurtled toward Dugu Bo.
"Holy shit, Xiao Yan! What the hell are you trying to do?" Seeing the God of Pride charging toward him, Dugu Bo hurriedly stepped back.
"Don't be scared, Celestial Venerable Dugu. I just need your help testing how much strength these fellows have left after being refined into Fire Slaves." Xiao Yan grinned, then directed the God of Pride to attack before Dugu Bo could reply.
"Boy, don't mess around! These fellows are far stronger than me. If I actually take a punch, you'll have no one left to manage the Soul Hall!" Retreating step after step, Dugu Bo watched the rapidly approaching God of Pride and spoke helplessly. Nine Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet as he unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar.
Whoosh!
As the God of Pride unleashed his punch, the space before him twisted slightly. The air caved inward around his fist. At the foremost point of that concave arc, a purple-black light emerged, then shot toward Dugu Bo like a cannonball with a bang and a piercing shriek.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Time Freeze!"
