The waves surged and roared, and a terrifying pressure spread outwards.
Huo Yuhao snorted coldly and suddenly tightened his grip on Zhongli Wu's neck.
Click!
The crisp sound of bones cracking rang out, Zhongli Wu's neck went limp, his eyes widened, and his life force suddenly vanished.
"How boring! Do you really think I can't see through these little tricks?"
Huo Yuhao released his grip, letting Zhongli Wu's corpse fall straight down.
The moment the body fell, Huo Yuhao swung his longsword.
A spatial rift was instantly torn open, appearing where the corpse was bound to fall.
"You wouldn't even spare a corpse! You're truly a ruthless bastard."
With his neck drooping, Zhongli Wu spoke Youyou, and a red light reappeared in his dull eyes.
Click!
Zhongli Wu reached out and straightened his head, and the twisted bones mysteriously returned to normal in the next moment.
The falling body suddenly stopped its descent. Amidst the swirling yin energy, Zhongli Wu rose up in front of Huo Yuhao, a sinister smile on his lips.
"You were such a fine human meal just now, and now you can only swallow beasts. Today I'm going to skin you alive!"
Zhongli Wu gritted his teeth, his body shrouded in black mist, and instantly the seawater within a five-mile radius began to boil and emit layers of black mist.
The black mist transformed into skeletons that flew out of the sea, and in the mouths of those skeletons was a ball of blood-red energy.
One by one, the bodies of Soul Beast that had been drained into mummies began to surface, and even the Soul Ring they produced became part of those orbs of light.
Huo Yuhao stretched his limbs, his Spiritual Detection accurately covering a radius of five miles, his tone carrying a hint of anger.
"I'm really angry right now, I hope you can let me have some fun."
The next moment, terrifying Spiritual Power was released instantly within the range of Spiritual Detection.
Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a unique purple light, and under the interaction of Spiritual Shock and Spiritual Detection, mental ripples spread outwards.
Wherever it passed, the skeletons instantly melted away, as if they had encountered a natural enemy and had no chance to resist, leaving only clusters of red energy in their place.
Huo Yuhao took a step forward, his Soul Power surging within him. He slashed horizontally with his longsword, and thousands of silver-white sword energies suddenly appeared all around him.
The sword energy was like silver needles, and thousands of sword energies swirled around his body like a silver dragon.
With a roar, the Sword Qi Silver Dragon energy unleashed millions of sword energies.
In an instant, those red energy clusters were precisely pierced by these wisps of sword energy.
These millions of sword energies seemed to possess a spirit; the moment they pierced through the energy cluster, they carried the energy within with them and flew back to Huo Yuhao's vicinity.
The silver dragon condensed again, but a faint red tinge had appeared between the Sword Qi Silver Dragon.
Zhongli Wu's expression changed drastically. He never expected that his carefully laid plan would be so easily broken.
"If you have any last words, I'll give you five more seconds, after all, I mean what I say." Huo Yuhao's eyes were arrogant, and the Sword Qi Silver Dragon spiraled upwards, one of its dragon heads already fixed on Zhongli Wu's location.
Zhongli Wu was now in a panic. His injuries were still severe, and his Soul Power had not recovered from the attack. He cried out in fear, "No, you can't kill me! You can't kill me!"
Huo Yuhao's expression was cold, and a murderous aura emanated from his body as his longsword drew a sharp arc in the air.
roar!
The Sword Qi Silver Dragon roared as if it had come to life, its sword energy tearing through space and charging towards Zhongli Wu.
Zhongli Wu's pupils contracted as he desperately squeezed out the last of his Soul Power to resist the Sword Qi Silver Dragon.
However, the black skull that had just condensed was torn to shreds by the gale generated by the silver dragon before it could even get close to the Sword Qi Silver Dragon.
An invisible aura locked onto Zhongli Wu, and amidst the cold sweat pouring down his face, he suddenly knelt down in Huo Yuhao's direction.
Amidst fear and a glimmer of hope, Zhongli Wu bowed deeply and kowtowed several times, his voice hoarse as he cried out, "Please, my lord! Please... save me, my lord..."
The silver dragon's speed did not decrease at all, and it mercilessly swallowed it up.
Tens of thousands of sword energies directly engulfed Zhongli Wu's body, and every bit of flesh and bone was instantly shredded to dust!
This Holy Spirit Cult leader, the National Preceptor of the Sun Moon Empire, and a Level 98 Titled Douluo Evil Soul Master.
He vanished from the world without ever revealing his many abilities to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao flicked his wrist, twirling his sword, and tens of thousands of sword energies flew straight up before dissipating.
The black longsword turned into liquid and merged back into the black robe. Only then did Huo Yuhao turn around and look into the distance.
Suddenly, what I saw ahead seemed to twist!
His purple eyes scanned the surrounding space carefully, as if the strangeness he had just experienced was merely his imagination.
Feeling a strange sensation, he focused his Spiritual Power into his eyes and immediately unleashed Spiritual Shock.
Huo Yuhao withdrew his Martial Soul after his powerful Spiritual Power failed to cause any disturbance, and in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
Just after Huo Yuhao left, a spatial ripple suddenly appeared at the spot where he had just been.
Immediately afterwards, a head slowly emerged from the seawater, which was filled with the corpses of Soul Beast and stained red with blood.
"It's over?! What just happened over there?"
Jing Ziyan quickly used her Flying Soul Tool to get to Wang Dong'er's side and helped Xiao Xiao up.
Wang Qiu'er calmly replied, "It's nothing. I was just attacked by that Evil Soul Master. Fortunately, there's nothing seriously wrong."
Wang Dong'er also breathed a heavy sigh of relief, patted her chest to calm herself down, and said, "Luckily, nothing serious happened. If that Shadow hadn't suddenly attacked, the three of us would probably be dead here."
"Huh?!" Jing Ziyan's eyes widened. "Are you sure there's really nothing wrong?"
Xiao Xiao shook her head, looking worried, and said, "It's nothing serious, but I feel like I've seen that Shadow before. His back, and those eyes... I feel like I've seen them before."
"It's alright, Xiao Xiao, that must have been your imagination. Let's go back and rest for a bit," Jing Ziyan said with a sigh of relief.
"No, although the crisis is over now, Yuhao hasn't been found yet, and I have to find him." Xiao Xiao firmly refused and prepared to activate the Flying Soul Tool behind her to continue searching for the missing Huo Yuhao.
Wang Dong'er frowned, reached out to stop Xiao Xiao, and said, "You're too anxious. Huo Yuhao will be fine."
"How did you know?! I almost died just now! What if that Evil Soul Master had some backup plan? What will happen to Yuhao?! I have to go find him... I'll be with him through thick and thin!" Xiao Xiao said resolutely, her eyes firm.
Wang Dong'er immediately responded, "We must find Yuhao first. He's a spirit-type Soul Master, and his self-defense ability is inherently weaker than ours. If anything happens to him, I will never forgive myself."
The best course of action now is to go back and make some repairs before returning to search, since everyone has suffered some damage, big or small.
However, seeing Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er's insistent attitude, and understanding their feelings, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
At that very moment, a Spiritual Power was established between the individuals who had differing opinions.
