In the previous duel between Kong Xuan and Han Ruoruo, Kong Xuan also made an instant dash forward and then used his First Soul Skill, Void Stab, to probe.

Now Kong Xuan seems to be doing the same thing, but in Zhang Lexuan's observation, there seems to be a residual image left where Kong Xuan was originally standing, 200 meters away, which has never happened before.

Not only Zhang Lexuan, but the audience in the Soul Fighting Arena also had a god's-eye view and could see things much more clearly.

However, they did not know what the purpose of that lingering afterimage was.

In fact, Kong Xuan's initial attack in the last match utilized his spatial abilities, similar to teleporting forward a hundred meters in a few moments.

This time, no one noticed that Kong Xuan had actually used the Soul Bone Skill at the very beginning.

It was the second Soul Bone Skill of the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Starlight Pegasus, called Starry Firmament Phantom.

This Soul Skill has no offensive power; it only leaves behind a few afterimages of starlight that last for a period of time.

When damaged, you can swap positions with any starlight afterimage and recover a certain amount of Life.

It's worth mentioning that this Soul Skill is passive, meaning Kong Xuan doesn't need to control it at all. As long as he takes a certain amount of damage, the Soul Skill can automatically switch his position with the starlight afterimage to avoid fatal damage.

Therefore, although this Soul Skill has no offensive power, it is extremely practical, and Kong Xuan is grateful for Yan Shaozhe's gift.

After all, this Soul Bone was contributed by Yan Shaozhe.

The moment Zhang Lexuan's Soul Ring lit up, Kong Xuan had a bad feeling.

His powerful Divine Power allowed him to sense that he seemed to be locked onto by Zhang Lexuan's Soul Skill.

As it turned out, Kong Xuan's perception was correct. Zhang Lexuan's Third Soul Skill was called Moonlight Lock-On, Soul Skill that Mu En had specially chosen for her.

Although it has no offensive capabilities, it can be combined with her other Soul Skill to greatly enhance her strength.

Under the Moonlight Lock-On, her other Soul Skill are unlikely to miss.

Kong Xuan noticed that the sixth deep, ten-thousand-year-old black Soul Ring under Zhang Lexuan's feet suddenly lit up with a dim light!

Even more shockingly, this Soul Ring did not remain on her body and flash like a normal Soul Skill. Instead, it suddenly detached from her body, rising rapidly like a black halo, and finally merged into the bright Silver Moon above her head without any hindrance!

As the Soul Ring was integrated, the Silver Moon that originally shone with a clear light suddenly deepened in color, instantly transforming into a deep, dark black moon!

Only its outermost edge retains a clear silver border, making it eerie and mysterious.

The instant the black moon took shape, an invisible, condensed black moonlight silently swept across the entire area, seemingly ignoring the barriers of space and physics.

"Not good!"

Kong Xuan sensed an alarm the moment Zhang Lexuan's Sixth Soul Ring activated, and almost instinctively unleashed the Clear and Serene Spear Intent.

Her form became ethereal, as she attempted to escape into the void.

However, it was still too late!

Zhang Lexuan's Sixth Soul Skill is called " Black Moon's Binding," a powerful control Soul Skill that can be used for both single-target and area-of-effect attacks.

With the help of Moonlight Lock-On, she no longer needs to aim when using any of her Soul Skill, as they have a built-in enemy-locking effect.

Therefore, the moment the black moonlight swept across, even though Kong Xuan had already stepped halfway into the void, he still felt a tightness all over his body!

It was as if countless cold, viscous shadows were born from nothingness, transforming into invisible shackles that completely solidified and sealed off the space around him.

His body was also forcibly "squeezed" out of that mysterious state of fusion with the void, and suddenly froze, his movements becoming fatally slowed!

Kong Xuan's usually invincible spatial abilities were actually "hit a wall" for the first time by Zhang Lexuan.

Immediately, a beam of black moonlight, as condensed as silk yet with edges radiating a sharpness capable of tearing through everything, silently slashed out from the black moon!

It didn't have a grand display; wherever it passed, it seemed as if even the light was swallowed up, heading straight for Kong Xuan was imprisoned in place!

Everyone in the Soul Fighting Arena held their breath. This was the first time in four matches that they had seen Kong Xuan suffer a setback.

But can this seemingly powerful Moonlight Slash truly end Kong Xuan's victory?

At this critical moment, Kong Xuan, who was imprisoned by the black force field, showed no panic in his eyes, but he also did not make any move to deal with it. He seemed to just watch the attack fall on him.

Above the Soul Fighting Arena, referee Elder Song frowned, contemplating whether he should intervene to block Zhang Lexuan's attack.

In her heart, Kong Xuan shouldn't have been defeated so easily.

After much deliberation, she ultimately decided not to intervene. In any case, with Elder Zhuang present, even if Kong Xuan was seriously injured, he could be saved.

Zhang Lexuan had almost the same thought; she also felt that given the strength Kong Xuan had previously demonstrated, they shouldn't be completely helpless against this.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Lexuan's Moonlight Slash had already landed on Kong Xuan.

The hearts of everyone who had been hanging in suspense seemed to finally settle down, thinking that Kong Xuan's defeat was inevitable.

But then everyone witnessed a shocking scene: the referee did not intervene, and Kong Xuan did not bleed on the spot.

As the moonlight slashed down, Kong Xuan's body transformed into countless starlight points, scattering into the air.

At this point, many people realized that what they had just attacked was not Kong Xuan's true form at all.

Zhang Lexuan looked back and saw that the previously motionless phantom in the distance had now come to life—it was none other than Kong Xuan's true form.

In fact, Kong Xuan was not without the ability to deal with the situation just now; he simply wanted to take the opportunity to test the power of the Starry Firmament Phantom.

As it turns out, this Soul Skill is indeed a life-saving divine skill. Although the number of times it can be activated each day is limited, its effect is still quite surprising.

Seeing that her strongest Control System Sixth Soul Skill, " Black Moon's Binding," had failed to defeat Kong Xuan after controlling him, Zhang Lexuan felt a chill in her heart, and her determination became even stronger.

Without any hesitation, the most dazzling Seventh Soul Ring at her feet, representing a qualitative change, suddenly shone brightly!

Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!

Zhang Lexuan's physical form instantly became blurry and transparent, and finally disappeared completely as if merging into the moonlight.

At the same time, the Full Moon above her head, which had dimmed slightly after Black Moon's Binding," seemed to become the sole vessel of her will and power, and suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly intense silver light!

The silver light was like mercury spilling onto the ground, penetrating everywhere, and like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens, instantly sweeping across the entire Soul Fighting Arena!

In an instant, the world changed color.

Kong Xuan's expression was more serious than ever before. Under the silver moonlight, he knew that the power of all of Zhang Lexuan's Soul Skill was about to increase dramatically.

He responded calmly and unhurriedly to Han Ruoruo's Martial Soul Avatar because he knew that the prerequisite for Han Ruoruo's Eighth Soul Skill, " Gold Ascends to Heaven," was being able to control her opponent through the Shaking Gold Rope.

Zhang Lexuan's Eighth Soul Skill has no restrictions when used, and it is Soul Skill with a lifespan of 100,000 years.

Faced with such an attack, Kong Xuan knew that he would be defeated if he was not careful!

Therefore, he must now unleash his full power!
