Seeing the Evil Soul Master being engulfed by the explosion, Xu Qing rushed towards Gu Yuena Gu Yuena lightning speed, grabbed her wrist tightly, and pulled her away from the raging black shockwave. Not daring to linger any longer, he turned and ran quickly towards the direction of the Eastsea Academy.
There was no way around it; that was the Soul Ancestor!
Moreover, as Soul Ancestor who is also Evil Soul Master, his combat strength cannot be regarded as that of a regular Soul Ancestor.
Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, the Evil Soul Master's rage was completely ignited, and an even more turbulent black mist surged once more, the terrifying black mist rampaging wildly in all directions.
"Damn brat!"
The black mist beneath his feet suddenly lifted his body, moving at a speed far exceeding their expectations.
Before the two had even run two blocks, a howling, eerie wind was already closing in from behind. In an instant, a thick, inky black shadow suddenly moved to the side and blocked their path.
Furthermore, the black mist condensed into a gigantic ghost claw, carrying a cold and evil aura, and reached out to grab the two of them.
Xu Qing's heart sank.
He subconsciously exerted force and shoved Gu Yuena, who was beside him, away.
" Nana, get out of the way!"
In that instant, Xu Qing's body suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light. He activated his Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Bloodline to its fullest extent, and his dragon claws, imbued with the holy and radiant Soul Power, slammed directly towards the dark figure.
"Bang--!!"
A terrifying force slammed down on his arms.
The golden light dimmed slightly in an instant, and the enormous impact pierced through his entire body. Xu Qing was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the thick stone wall on the side of the street.
A deafening roar!
The solid wall was deeply dented by the impact, cracks spreading like a spiderweb, and a hideous hole was smashed in the center, with rubble and dust falling down in a flurry.
Xu Qing slid down the broken wall to the ground, his chest heaving, and he vomited a mouthful of hot blood. His whole body was in excruciating pain, as if being torn apart. The battle with the mecha and the continuous bursts of energy had only made his already exhausted body even worse.
The black-robed Evil Soul Master stood still, his black robes fluttering in the wind.
"Run! Why did you stop running? I love cat-and-mouse games the most! Haha!"
As he spoke, his scarlet gaze turned and landed on Gu Yuena, who had staggered to her feet not far away.
He greedily licked his chapped lips with the tip of his tongue.
"What a pretty young girl! Your Blood One taste delicious!"
Before he finished speaking, black mist surged beneath the Evil Soul Master's feet, and his figure transformed into a streak of dark light, rushing straight towards Gu Yuena. The howling wind whipped Gu Yuena's hair backward.
Just as he was a few feet away from Gu Yuena, and his claws were about to reach out to her!
You're asking for it!
A blinding golden light suddenly erupted from behind the Evil Soul Master, piercing through the dust and darkness of the night.
The Evil Soul Master was charging forward at full speed when he was attracted by the sound. He turned around and was caught off guard by the bright light that stung his eyes. He instinctively raised his hand and tightly closed his eyes, and his momentum came to an abrupt halt.
As the dazzling golden light rapidly converged, layers upon layers of metal armor quickly emerged from Xu Qing's limbs and torso, completely enveloping his body.
A pair of sharp, golden dragon horns grew from his forehead, and a thick dragon tail stretched and swung behind him, its tip flickering with blazing golden Lie Yan.
"That's... Battle Armor?! How is that possible?!"
The Evil Soul Master caught a glimpse of that majestic and magnificent golden armor through his fingers, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a monstrous wave of disbelief surged in his heart.
A teenager actually possesses Battle Armor!
Before the Evil Soul Master could suppress his shock and react, Xu Qing's Soul Ring flashed violently, his Battle Armor surging with golden Soul Power, and he shattered the stone slab beneath his feet. Like a golden dragon awakening, he charged towards him with immense force.
"Drink it!"
The golden dragon fist, carrying all its power, slammed through the air toward the Evil Soul Master's face!
In a critical moment, the Evil Soul Master gritted his teeth and activated his third Soul Skill!
"Third Soul Skill - Black Mist Barrier!"
Rolling black mist rapidly swirled and gathered around him, transforming into a thick, round, ink-colored defensive barrier that firmly protected him within.
Boom!!
The golden dragon fist slammed heavily onto the surface of the Black Mist Barrier.
The immense impact generated a visible shockwave of Soul Power, causing the black barrier to tremble violently. Ripples spread across its surface, and countless black mists were scorched by the overflowing golden light from the fist, sizzling and dissipating continuously.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena did not rush into the melee. She lightly touched the ground with her feet and immediately leaped back several feet to create distance.
Her eyes were icy cold, and her hands quickly formed hand seals in front of her, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to plummet.
Ice crystals seemed to condense out of thin air from high above, and countless icicles whistled down like a torrential downpour of ice rain, pouring down on the Evil Soul Master from all directions.
The icicles struck the Black Mist Barrier, and the ice rapidly spread and froze along the barrier's surface, further depleting the barrier's Soul Power.
The barrier was already unable to withstand Xu Qing's dragon fist, which was enhanced by the Golden Dragon Battle Armor. When it was bombarded by the sky full of ice shards, the black mist on the surface collapsed layer by layer.
Click--!
Fine cracks spread across the entire Black Mist Barrier.
The next second, the golden light on Xu Qing's armor suddenly surged, piercing through the remaining black mist!
The black barrier shattered with a deafening roar, turning into a cloud of black smoke.
Without the barrier to stop it, the remaining power of the Dragon Fist, carrying countless ice crystals, slammed into the Evil Soul Master's body without reservation!
"Pfft--!!"
The Evil Soul Master let out a shrill scream, his black robe shattered on the spot, and he flew backward like a heavily wounded black cannonball, crashing heavily into the wall of a building in the distance, sending brick and stone fragments flying everywhere.
His body was covered in frostbite marks, and his skin was scorched in many places by the holy power of light contained in the golden light. Blood involuntarily flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Xu Qing, clad in golden armor, with his dragon tail swaying gently behind him, was panting heavily.
Activating the Battle Armor was a huge burden on him, whose Soul Power was already overdrawn. The surface of the armor had begun to show a faint illusory appearance, and it was clear that it could not be maintained for much longer.
Gu Yuena slowly walked to Xu Qing's side, her icy gaze fixed on the struggling Evil Soul Master on the ground, showing no sign of letting her guard down.
Amidst the ruins of the wall, the Evil Soul Master struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with resentment and madness as he stared intently at the two.
"Damn ants!"
With a roar, thick black mist surged from his body once more, quickly filling a large area of the surrounding space.
Fourth Soul Skill - Bewitching Mist!
The pitch-black mist surged and expanded, sweeping towards Xu Qing and Gu Yuena like a tidal wave, threatening to completely engulf and engulf them.
Gu Yuena's expression changed, and she immediately shouted a warning, " Xu Qing, be careful! This mist has a hallucinogenic effect, don't inhale it!"
Xu Qing nodded emphatically, his chest heaving violently beneath his armor. His vital energy and Soul Power were still being consumed. He struggled to maintain his spirit and resisted the erosion of the black mist with all his might.
As the black mist enveloped the two, Xu Qing's consciousness began to waver.
Damn it!
This can't go on!
Fog... Fog!
Got it!
Since it's foggy, then I'll just send down some rain!
Suddenly, golden light burst forth from Xu Qing's body!
Water elements within a hundred miles of Xu Qing frantically converged on him!
