Kou Ying stumbled. All that bravado, all that fuss, and you want me to go in?
He sighed softly, transformed into a dark shadow, and charged forward.
Ye Buyu gathered her thoughts, focused, and locked her sights onto her target.
The first skill Ye Buyu had gained after becoming a Blessed One was Soul Lock.
She wondered whether Little Whale had given her this ability because of all her missed shots. To Ye Buyu, it was like adding a scope that guaranteed a hit-a headshot cheat.
Before, she had aimed at the body, which could dodge. Now she aimed at the soul, making it even more unfair.
It was like the Beggar Gang getting hold of the Tiger Tally: you had to submit whether you liked it or not. Unless some unfathomably powerful martial hero could shatter the Tiger Tally with a slap, anyone who came would suffer.
"Soul Lock, guaranteed hit!"
A bullet formed from compressed energy shot out.
Lan Huaiyu raised her hand, gripped her spear, and swept it across. Wherever its tip passed, even the air warped and shattered.
She crushed Ye Buyu's attack with absolute strength, then reversed her spear and thrust it into the ground, prying Kou Ying out of the shadows and swatting him away.
Ye Buyu's mouth twitched. What did I say? The worst part is when the martial hero lashes out without giving you a chance.
Her attack had not even touched Lan Huaiyu's spear tip. Before it could take effect, that vast power had crushed it.
Even the most badass ability was not enough against overwhelming strength.
"Whoa... how are we supposed to fight this?"
Kou Ying climbed up after being swatted away and said, looking utterly defeated, "Ms. Lan Huaiyu is at the sixth tier, invincible below the seventh tier.
