...
The black-robed Soul King saw that Zeng Yi's figure had disappeared from his sight, and chased after him for a while, but he still couldn't find him. He stopped in his tracks, his face gloomy.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh~
After about a minute, the four black-robed figures behind caught up and stopped behind the black-robed Soul King. Their chests were heaving up and down, panting heavily. It seemed that the pursuit had taken a toll on their stamina.
"Master, that Ronin Yi..." one of them spoke up respectfully.
"He ran away!" The black-robed Soul King shouted in frustration, startling the others.
"Damn slippery brat! I didn't expect him to be this cunning!" The black-robed Soul King cursed angrily. This was the most humiliating moment of his life. In order to deal with a Soul Elder, both the Soul Ancestor and Soul King had made a move, but they couldn't even get close to him, and one of them ended up being killed.
That was a Spirit Master auxiliary-type who was over thirty levels! They were lacking talented individuals in the hall, and they never expected him to die just like that. It was truly shameful!
Seeing their leader so agitated, the others stood silently on the side, afraid to speak out.
The black-robed Soul King vented his fury for a while in his helplessness. In the end, he could only say helplessly, "Let's go back!"
"Yes!"
They replied quickly, but there was a strong sense of resentment and anger in their voices. The person who died was their comrade they had been spending time with. They had planned to drink and have fun with him after the mission, but how much time had passed? The person was already gone.
What was more infuriating was that they wanted to avenge their companion, but they couldn't even catch up to him. How could they seek revenge and settle the score?
Were they just going back like this in such a sorry state?
They clenched their teeth tightly, their fists held tightly. They were filled with a strong sense of injustice.
At that moment, a sharp and chilly intent rushed at an extremely fast speed, targeting the weakest among the group of black-robed figures.
In an instant, the black-robed Soul King sensed the sudden attack. This feeling was the same as the person they were chasing.
Ronin Yi!
How dare he come back to kill? The black-robed Soul King couldn't believe it. A Soul Elder actually dared to attack a group that included a Soul King and two Soul Sect members.
The attack was too fast. Even if he wanted to save the person, it was already too late due to a momentary lapse in vigilance.
"Dodge!" The black-robed Soul King shouted in shock at the person being attacked.
But he didn't know that an attack even a Soul King couldn't react to, how could a Soul Elder at level thirty-eight dodge it?
If the Soul Elder had remained vigilant, he might have been able to react to Zeng Yi's attack. But they let their guard down because they thought Zeng Yi had escaped. This was a deadly mistake.
Zeng Yi went all out, holding his Ronin Sword. The sharp blade glimmered with a cold light in the bright moonlight. His silver eyes stared straight ahead, devoid of emotions.
Forward Steps Slash!
Under this fierce killing intent, the Soul Elder was stunned. The cold blade pressure weighed on him, making his soul tremble. He couldn't resist.
Instant Gale!
Slash!
Zeng Yi tightly grasped the hilt of his sword. The blade emitted a faint blue light, and the wind swiftly revolved around it. His figure passed through the Soul Elder, as fast as a gale. In the blink of an eye, a sword light flashed past under the night sky.
"No!"
One black-robed figure screamed in grief. He witnessed his companion being split in half next to him, and the warm blood even splattered on his face.
"I'll kill you!"
Another person stared angrily at Zeng Yi and shouted with hatred. His body instantly erupted with all his soul power, and four soul rings rose from his body: one white, two yellow, and one purple. The light shimmered and fluctuated. Suddenly, the purple soul ring lit up, and a longbow appeared in his hand. He pulled the bowstring, gathering his soul power, and the bowstring reached its maximum, shooting out with full force. A powerful purple energy arrow shot towards Zeng Yi.
Observing the energy attack approaching him, Zeng Yi remained calm. No matter how strong the attack, it was meaningless if it didn't hit its mark. He once again used Forward Steps Slash to move, swiftly evading the attack. In an instant, he raised his sword and killed the two Soul Ancestor members who had attacked him.
And the next moment, Zeng Yi sensed a powerful energy approaching from behind him. When it was about to hit him, he stomped on the ground, his body soaring into the air, evading the attack.
Looking in the direction, he saw the energy arrow he had just encountered.
His opponent had soul tracking skills!
A thought flashed through Zeng Yi's mind, and he sensed two more attacks approaching from his left and right. In the blink of an eye, Zeng Yi gathered the wind under his feet, forming a wall of air, and with a point of force, he exerted force on the ground. His body swiftly rolled in the air 360 degrees, smoothly avoiding the two attacks, and landed steadily on the ground.
Zeng Yi held the Ronin Sword in his hand, silver eyes sweeping around the four people surrounding him - one Soul King, two Soul Ancestor members, and one Soul Elder. The sixteen soul rings glittered and moved under the night sky, dazzling and brimming with overwhelming soul power that caused energy waves to burst out. Together, they pressed towards Zeng Yi.
Under this pressure, Zeng Yi remained calm, his expression indifferent. His silver eyes showed no emotion, and the Ronin Sword in his hand glinted with a cold light under the moonlight.
Several black-robed figures stared fiercely at the figure surrounded by them. Their killing intent surged, and after two of their companions were killed by him, their resentment reached its peak, wishing to tear him apart.
"There's a way to heaven, yet you don't go; there's no door to hell, yet you come on your own, hehe, I thought you were the Unrivaled Ronin in the Battle Spirit Arena?" The Soul King stared at Zeng Yi with a dark gaze, and his voice was harsh. How could a Soul Elder dare to attack their team, which consisted of Soul Ancestor members and a Soul King? Did he think he was a Soul Emperor?
"You could have survived originally, but now, you are doomed!"
"Attack with all your might, kill this person!" The black-robed Soul King angrily shouted. The overpowering soul power of a Soul King raged, distorting the airflow around his body. The purple soul ring suddenly shimmered, and he gathered soul power on both hands, pressing them quickly to the ground. The earth shook as the soil wriggled, and two thick green vines shot out with thorns all over them, rapidly reaching towards Zeng Yi's position with a powerful force that even caused sonic booms.
As soon as the Soul King finished speaking, the other three immediately launched their soul skills and attacked Zeng Yi.
This Soul King had a Thorn Martial Soul, while the others had a weapon-type Martial Soul Bow, a beast-type Martial Soul Wolf, and a weapon-type Martial Soul Staff.
Two thick thorns flew through the air, but Zeng Yi quickly reacted, swiftly leaping high into the air.
Boom~
The thorns didn't hit Zeng Yi but struck the ground hard, causing the entire ground to tremble and raise a cloud of dust. The soil split under the impact, creating two deep trenches.
Swoosh~
The attacks didn't stop, as an energy arrow shot through the smoke towards Zeng Yi in the air.
Gathering the wind flow under his feet, Zeng Yi took off towards the arrow.
Since the arrow had tracking abilities, I'll just cut you off!
Zeng Yi quickly swung his Ronin Sword, and the sharp blade accurately sliced through the arrowhead, easily splitting it into two pieces that shot to either side, creating two strong explosions.
With the sensing ability of wind flow, Zeng Yi could easily perceive the enemy's movements. Whether it was their movement or their attack, it would definitely disturb the air, unless they had spatial teleportation soul skills. Otherwise, Zeng Yi could easily capture their position and the path of the attack.
Within the smoke, a wolf claw tore through the dust, and its sharpness exuded a chilling aura as it attacked Zeng Yi's head.
Clang~
In an instant, Zeng Yi swiftly wielded his Ronin Sword, horizontally blocking the sharp wolf claw, causing sparks to fly from the clash between the blade and the claw.
And at the next moment, he felt a surge of air, and a iron rod quickly swept horizontally towards his waist, bringing a strong gust of wind with it.
This strike contained immense force, and the waist was an extremely vulnerable area. If Zeng Yi was hit in the waist, it would probably fracture.
With a clear mind, Zeng Yi's face showed no signs of panic. In an instant, he quickly drew another long sword from his waist with his left hand and fiercely slashed at the iron rod.
Boom~
The clash of strength created an explosive impact that instantly dissipated the surrounding dust. Under the moonlight, three figures appeared - Zeng Yi with a long knife in his right hand and a long sword in his left, blocking the simultaneous attacks of the two.
This battle was completed almost within a few blinks.
How is this possible?
The wolf Spirit Master and staff Spirit Master widened their eyes in shock. They attacked with their full strength as a Soul Ancestor member and a Soul Elder, yet their attacks were easily blocked?
Zeng Yi's cold expression made them even more astounded. A slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, carrying a hint of mockery.
He was waiting for this moment.
Unleashing his soul power to the fullest, his imposing aura became extremely sharp, like a sword radiating innumerable sword auras. Three soul rings rose from under his feet in an instant: one purple, one yellow, and one purple again, releasing terrifying soul power oppression. The third soul ring flickered with a deeper purple light than the fourth ten-thousand-year soul ring of the staff Spirit Master.
His third soul skill, Sword Domain, activated!
The two felt a sharp and chilly sword intent press down on them, as if countless sword auras were directly targeting them, causing their bodies to tremble involuntarily. Even the circulation of their soul power slowed down, and their strength was suppressed.
They wanted to break free, but their steps felt as if they were trapped in mud, hindering their movement. Their bodies felt as heavy as carrying a mountain.
In an instant, Zeng Yi's figure flashed past the two, becoming even faster. Two sword lights flashed, and the two felt a coldness on their necks, as if a cold wind had brushed past them. Then, those terrified eyes turned dull, and they lost consciousness forever, dying without any pain.
