"Aaaah..."
With an explosive roar from Xiong Li, the Green Vine Cage shattered in an instant, destroyed by an invisible force.
The emerald vines lost their vitality in an instant, turning into fragments that drifted through the air.
At the same time, the seawater Xixi controlled suffered a tremendous impact. The churning waves were instantly blasted apart, scattering into countless tiny droplets that fell to the ground. They glittered in the night air like a sprinkling of stars.
That was the defining trait of force-field soul skills: distortion!
Freed from the cage and the seawater's restraints, Xiong Li grew extraordinarily savage. His eyes were bloodshot, and the soul power fluctuations radiating from him intensified.
In that moment of peril, Chen Xiaojun instinctively took command, shouting to Ji Boda, "Slow him down!"
Although Ji Boda had suffered minor injuries from Yan Shenglong's terrifying Hell's Breath attack moments earlier, his gaze had only grown more resolute.
He understood what Chen Xiaojun meant. Against a powerful opponent like Xiong Li, simply meeting force with force was unwise. They needed strategy and finesse.
After calming the soul power surging within him, he activated the Nine Phoenix Arrival Flute's Second Soul Skill-Slowing with a silent thought.
The flute's lilting notes rang out, and an invisible force seemed to spread with their rhythm. Like warm water, that force silently seeped into Xiong Li's body.
Under its influence, Xiong Li's savage movements gradually slowed.
Confusion and bewilderment crept into his eyes. It felt as though the entire world had slowed its steps at that moment.
Coming to his senses, he discovered that his movements had become clumsy, constrained by invisible shackles. His speed had fallen by twenty percent.
Just then, Liu Ruyan, perfectly in sync with Ji Boda, launched her attack as well.
"Fourth Soul Skill-Drizzle Frenzy!"
