" Huo Wu, be careful! These shadowy figures are not simple things; there might be an ambush!" Feng Xiaotian warned Huo Wu Dance.
"I already told you to stop talking nonsense! These things are strange, anyone can see that!" Huo Wu said irritably. " Feng Xiaotian, hurry up and prepare your Self-Created Soul Skill! Bing'er and I will hold him off!"
Upon hearing Huo Wu's command, Feng Xiaotian had no choice but to unleash his Self-Created Soul Skill. A pair of enormous cyan wings unfurled behind him, and he instantly flew up from the ground, reaching a height of 50 meters in the air.
"Oh? Is he going to use this move? I think it's called something like, Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes?" Qi Ling, hidden in the shadows, looked at Feng Xiaotian in the air and couldn't help but laugh. "As a Soul Emperor, its power should be even greater when he uses it, right?"
"Since that's the case, I won't let you have your way!"
Qi Ling smiled slightly from the shadows, and then, out of everyone's sight, his Sixth Soul Ring lit up, and his " Sixth Soul Skill: Blood Sea " was activated.
But what's amazing is that after the Blood Sea was activated, nothing unusual happened. In fact, no one even sensed Qi Ling activating his Soul Skill. They only felt that the shadows on the ground began to ripple like water.
This is actually because of Qi Ling's Sixth Soul Skill: Blood Sea. It has a very strong inclusiveness and can be fused with almost any form of ability. Now, it has been fused with Qi Ling's Third Soul Skill, turning into a black shadow ocean.
Just as Feng Xiaotian was about to unleash his Soul Skill in the air, suddenly, four black tentacles emerged from the water-like shadow on the ground, swiftly reaching out to Feng Xiaotian and binding his limbs one by one.
"What? What are these things?" Feng Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise. "Are these also Qi Ling's Soul Skill?"
The only response to Feng Xiaotian was silence. At that moment, the four tentacles began to contract rapidly, pulling Feng Xiaotian from the air to the ground and binding him firmly to the ground.
At the same time, these tentacles were not simply binding him, but were constantly absorbing his Soul Power! The Blood Devil Emperor's passive skill was perfectly unleashed by these tentacles, instantly putting Feng Xiaotian in an extremely passive position.
"Damn it, Feng Xiaotian!" Huo Wu saw Feng Xiaotian trapped and immediately went to rescue him, but in the next instant, countless black figures slowly rose from the shadows on the ground and slowly attacked Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.
"Eek! What is this thing? It's disgusting!" Huo Wu looked at the strange objects that were only a blurry humanoid shape and couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. This scene was just too terrifying.
"Scared already? I thought this girl was fearless!" Qi Ling chuckled from the side. "Perfect timing to teach you a lesson for your arrogance, let you suffer a little."
These black, puppet-like things don't have much offensive power, and once attacked, they can easily turn back into shadows and blend into the ground.
But its true terror lies in its sheer number; it seems endless. Defeat one, and two or more will immediately rise, surging forth like a tidal wave.
Furthermore, these puppets also possess the abilities of the Blood Devil Emperor. Although it is difficult to cause any damage if attacked by them, they will take away a large amount of your Soul Power.
"Damn it, this won't do! Feng Xiaotian, hold on a little longer!" Huo Wu said, a black Soul Ring lighting up on her body, " Fifth Soul Skill: Flame Tornado!"
A tornado of flames immediately appeared around Huo Wu, engulfing Shui Bing'er as well. The intense heat caused all the puppets to crumble the moment they got close, making it impossible for them to advance any further.
"Oh? You're quite clever to have come up with such a method!" Qi Ling couldn't help but laugh. "But unfortunately, if it comes to a war of attrition, you can't beat me."
Soon, Huo Wu also noticed this. These puppets seemed to generate continuously from the shadows without consuming Soul Power, and then charged towards the two of them fearlessly, plunging into the Flame Tornado and disappearing.
Because of this, Huo Wu could only maintain the Flame Tornado without daring to cancel it, complaining, "Damn it, how much Soul Power does this guy have? Is it inexhaustible?"
" Huo Wu, you're wrong. These things aren't using Qi Ling's Soul Power." Just then, Feng Xiaotian, who was bound by tentacles, said weakly to Huo Wu, "They're using my Soul Power."
"What? How could this be?" Huo Wu exclaimed in surprise, instantly understanding the working principle of these puppets. Not only could they absorb Soul Power themselves, but they could also use the trapped people as their power source, absorbing their Soul Power to create their own companions.
"Damn it, Feng Xiaotian, how can you be so useless! Those two tentacles, can't you even break them?" Huo Wu said.
Feng Xiaotian gave a bitter laugh and said, "I want to too, but if I want to sever these tentacles, I have to use Soul Skill. However, as soon as my Soul Power begins to condense, the absorption frequency of these tentacles increases simultaneously, making it impossible for me to use Soul Skill."
"Why don't you unleash your Soul Power all at once and break free before they absorb it?" Huo Wu said. " Feng Xiaotian, are you even capable of this? I should have just let my brother do it!"
Feng Xiaotian said helplessly, "I've tried that too, but it didn't work. To instantly gather Soul Power and break free from these tentacles, you need at least the strength of Soul Saint!"
Qi Ling nodded secretly. Both of their analyses were quite good, showing that they possessed considerable tactical analytical skills.
These tentacles, though not particularly strong, were still created by Qi Ling's Sixth Soul Skill. Feng Xiaotian had no way to break free instantly; if this continued, he would only be drained dry.
"So, what will you do next?" Qi Ling asked with a smile. "Let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve."
"Damn it, Bing'er, do you have a way?" Huo Wu said, "We must rescue Feng Xiaotian and break this deadlock. I can't hold on much longer!"
"I do have a solution, but it might be quite dangerous," Shui Bing'er said. " Feng Xiaotian, you must hold on! Don't die!"
"What? Shui Bing'er, what do you want to do...?"
Sixth Soul Skill: Ice Seal for a Thousand Li!
Shui Bing'er's Sixth Soul Ring slowly lit up, and then, with her as the center, a layer of ice crystals instantly spread outwards, freezing everything it touched.
These things include Qi Ling's shadow, the summoned puppets, and any other objects that are touched, including Feng Xiaotian on the ground!
