Bab 2993: Attempted

*Boom!~*

The Starlight Jade Wolf King's heaving body flinched before he retreated, the place he had been standing exploding into a mushroom of scarlet flames. The intense phoenix flames scorched the ground and completely evaporated the spirit water flowing through the waterways.

*Whoosh!~*

"Tch~"

The Starlight Jade Wolf King clicked his tongue as he watched the soul of the Fire Phoenix Clan's Ancestor make some distance between them as he retreated like him. The Ethereal Soulcleaver, famed for its ability to obliterate souls, didn't work on him. Or rather-

'My strength wasn't up to par…'

The Starlight Jade Wolf King growled. He knew he should've launched another attack, but the backlash from sacrificing the blood essence made him stiff for a second, allowing his opponent to retreat. Still, the next moment, he stomped his foot into the empty space and launched himself at the escaping soul.
