Chapter 78: Soul Technique
"Death Calamity Spear!"
As Mo Yin's spear, infused with terrifying energy, took shape, an overwhelming pressure bore down on Mo Yu, making him feel like a small boat in a storm, about to be swallowed at any moment.
Mo Yin watched Mo Yu from above with a sinister grin. Despite not fully understanding the source of Mo Yu's powerful soul energy and its exceptional control, he was confident that his advanced Xuan-rank combat technique would obliterate that intangible soul energy like it was nothing but air. Mo Yu would surely perish under this attack.
As Mo Yu looked up at the rapidly approaching black spear, he noticed the cold, confident smile on Mo Yin's face. Seeing that Mo Yin was convinced of his impending victory, a look of disdain crossed Mo Yu's face.
Combat techniques can be used to channel Dou Qi—why couldn't soul energy be channeled through a soul technique?
Luckily, Mo Yu knew such techniques!
With that thought, Mo Yu slowly extended his hands and formed a strange hand seal. As the seal took shape, a vast and powerful soul energy quickly gathered in his palms. Within the space around him, a faint, spiral-shaped mark began to emerge.
The soul seal harnessed Mo Yu's soul energy, condensing it into an attack. Although the energy gathered in the soul seal wasn't much stronger than what Mo Yu had previously demonstrated, its power was far greater!
Just like with Dou Qi, soul techniques can condense and amplify soul energy, with the effectiveness depending on the quality of the technique.
Mo Yu knew that the ancient alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent could maximize the power of their soul energy, rivaling even the combat techniques of powerful warriors. These methods were referred to as soul techniques by the ancient alchemists.
Although most soul techniques have been lost over time, some hidden alchemists still possess a few.
Even though Mo Yu was from a different continent, the principles behind using soul energy were similar. By Dou Qi Continent standards, the spiral soul seal technique Mo Yu used was comparable to a mid-level Xuan-rank soul technique.
Just as warriors without combat techniques would be at a disadvantage, Mo Yu knew he needed to use his soul technique to counter Mo Yin's powerful attack.
"Spiral Soul Seal!"
With a shout, the vast soul energy in Mo Yu's hands condensed into a spiral soul seal that shot out like lightning, heading straight for the black spear!
Although the Spiral Soul Seal was invisible, the pressure it exerted was intense, making it difficult for anyone nearby to breathe.
Mo Yin was stunned by this display. The ability to use soul energy in a manner similar to a combat technique was something he had never seen before. Even Jia Ma Empire's top alchemist, Gu He, likely didn't possess such an ability.
Realizing this, Mo Yin's killing intent surged. The boy's extraordinary abilities were shaking the foundations of his worldview. If he didn't kill Mo Yu, he might even develop a heart demon!
With a ferocious expression, Mo Yin's black Dou Qi surged once more, gathering onto the terrifying spear as he hurled it toward the Spiral Soul Seal.
Boom!
In an instant, the Spiral Soul Seal and the black spear collided, creating an invisible shockwave that rippled outward. The ground beneath them cracked, sending a wave of energy rolling across it, shattering countless trees into splinters.
The force of the clash sent Mo Yu staggering back several dozen steps. He finally stopped by stabbing his spear into the ground, leaving a long scar in the earth as he steadied himself.
Spurt!
As he regained his balance, Mo Yu felt a sharp pain in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground beneath him red.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Mo Yu's face turned grim. His soul energy, while strong, was only on par with that of an ordinary Dou Grandmaster.
Mo Yin, however, was a four-star Dou Grandmaster, wielding not only powerful dark Dou Qi but also formidable combat techniques. His strength was comparable to that of a five- or six-star Dou Grandmaster.
Even Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family, might not be a match for him.
The Spiral Soul Seal was one of Mo Yu's most powerful techniques at the moment, and if he continued fighting, his only option might be to burn his soul energy to escape unscathed.
As for the severe consequences of burning his soul energy, survival was the most important thing right now.
Just as Mo Yu was considering this desperate measure, a wave of killing intent suddenly swept over him. A shadow on the ground morphed into a figure, lunging at Mo Yu with a black dagger aimed at his head.
"Mo Yu, die!"
The figure was none other than Mo Yin. His previous composure was gone; his Dou Qi armor was battered and torn, and his black robe was in tatters, revealing his gaunt, bloodied face.
Clearly, Mo Yin had also suffered significant damage in the clash between their combat and soul techniques.
As Mo Yin launched his surprise attack, the "Mo Yu" in front of him seemed caught off guard, allowing the black dagger to pierce through his head.
Seeing this seemingly decisive strike, Mo Yin was filled with exhilaration. Who would have thought that a mere Fighter could push him, a renowned Dou Grandmaster in the northeastern provinces, to such extremes?
But just as Mo Yin believed he had completed his mission and finally killed Mo Yu, he watched in disbelief as the figure of "Mo Yu" began to dissolve into thin air.
"An afterimage?"
Realizing what had happened, the experienced Mo Yin's face twisted with demonic rage, his sinister killing intent intensifying.
"That was close!"
In another corner of the battlefield, the real Mo Yu let out a sigh of relief. In that critical moment, he had sensed an unprecedented danger and quickly used a shadow technique to replace himself with an afterimage, narrowly avoiding Mo Yin's lethal strike.
Mo Yin's ability to attack from the shadows was indeed formidable.
"You little brat, you won't escape my grasp today!" Mo Yin snarled, his eyes full of venomous intent. Mo Yu's repeated escapes only fueled his murderous rage.
Hearing this, Mo Yu's expression grew darker. Mo Yin's assassination techniques were nearly impossible to defend against. If he didn't either kill or seriously injure Mo Yin, escaping would be extremely difficult.
Just as Mo Yu was about to burn his soul energy to deliver a devastating counterattack, he noticed the black dagger in Mo Yin's hand. Recognizing it, Mo Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and a sly smile appeared on his lips.
