radicalducati 198. Soul Attack
198. Soul Attack
The Crimson Lotus Flame has two wielders. Xiao Yan has rich combat experience, and after fusing his fighting spirit with Huo Zhi, he can better utilize the power resulting from the fusion.
Not long after Huo Zhi awakened her Dou Qi, she was already designated by the Yan Clan as the next owner of the family's inherited strange fire. From the very beginning of her cultivation, she was inseparable from the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. Therefore, in terms of using the Red Lotus Karmic Fire alone, Xiao Yan is far inferior to Huo Zhi!
Therefore, at this moment, without Xiao Yan noticing, Huo Zhi delivered the Red Lotus Karmic Flame to Chen Xiao.
The moment the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire appeared, Huo Zhi's pupils also turned into flames, with blood-red flames burning fiercely in his eyes.
Xiao Yan, standing beside Huo Zhi, sensed an aura growing stronger and stronger, a power he recognized immediately: soul power!
As crimson flames ignited in Huo Zhi's eyes, ancient flame-shaped patterns appeared around the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. Xiao Yan felt dizzy after just one glance.
Then the pattern bloomed and aimed at Chen Xiao in the black mist. Then Huo Zhi's eyes and the red lotus karmic fire lit up at the same time!
"A soul attack!?" Xiao Yan was also surprised.
Even Chen Xiao hadn't anticipated that Huo Zhi could unleash a soul attack using the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire as a medium; the intense pain reverberated deep within Chen Xiao's soul. Just moments before, Chen Xiao had been constantly devouring the souls of powerful beings to strengthen himself, but now he felt hundreds of auras surging and thrashing within his mind!
"Aaaaaah!" The black mist where Chen Xiao was located also fluctuated violently, and screams echoed incessantly.
Chen Xiao, in his agony, lost the ability to think and failed to feel the growing heat within his body.
As Chen Xiao convulsed in pain, Huo Zhi also trembled, and a trickle of blood slowly flowed from her eyes.
Xiao Yan felt that Huo Zhi's body went limp in an instant, and he caught her in his arms.
Xiao Yan saw that a blood-red light shone from within Chen Xiao's black mist, and the heart fire ignited by the Red Lotus Karmic Flame caused this soul body, which had the strength of a nine-star Dou Zong, to begin to spontaneously combust uncontrollably!
The other two Soul Palace protectors were both entangled with Little Fairy Doctor and could not attend to Chen Xiao, who had already spontaneously combusted. Chen Xiao was also in a state of confusion due to Huo Zhi's sudden soul attack and was unable to save himself!
"Are you alright?" Xiao Yan asked. Although Huo Zhi's Dou Qi wasn't greatly affected, her aura had indeed weakened. Soul power could be said to be even more miraculous than Dou Qi. For Huo Zhi to be able to severely injure a Soul Hall protector with a soul attack when her level was lower than Chen Xiao's, the price she paid must have been considerable.
Huo Zhi leaned against Xiao Yan, panting slightly, and said weakly, "I'm fine, but I can't fight again for a while!"
Huo Zhi's anxiety at this moment far exceeded Xiao Yan's. To Huo Zhi, Yan Di was almost like a parent, and she knew the immense pressure Yan Di was under. Therefore, Huo Zhi was willing to pay a considerable price to quickly end the battle and find a way to help Yan Di!
Xiao Yan also smiled and said, "For the time being, we don't need it."
The sudden attack by Huo Zhi nearly killed Chen Xiao, and the other two Soul Palace protectors were also forced to retreat against Little Fairy Doctor. If it weren't for the fear of Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body, Zi Yan could have rushed in and killed both of the protectors!
Xiao Yan also took out a pill from his storage ring and handed it to Huo Zhi.
"Huh?" Huo Zhi was also surprised to receive the pill.
"The sixth-grade elixir, Soul-Nourishing Pill, is beneficial for those who have consumed too much soul power."
"Thank you," Huo Zhi said softly, blushing slightly as she finished speaking. Within the Yan Clan, she was an absolute star, possessing everything she needed. However, the battlefield situation was complex, especially with Yan Di locked in a fierce battle, causing her considerable emotional turmoil.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's gift of medicine warmed Huo Zhi's heart, and she swallowed the Soul-Nourishing Pill without hesitation.
Just as the two guardians were being forced back by Little Fairy Doctor, another unexpected change occurred! That aura, seemingly from the ancient times, suddenly flashed in the passage, causing everyone present to feel their hearts skip a beat.
In the instant that no one noticed, the fourth-ranked Soul Palace Protector suddenly began to expand his aura rapidly, breaking through several limits of the Dou Zong level in an instant. The insurmountable barrier between Dou Zong and Dou Zun was broken in less than a breath.
The sudden surge in his power overwhelmed his soul, causing it to swell and burst out of the black mist around him in the blink of an eye.
Within the second breath, cracks began to appear in his soul form, like a punctured ball. However, the growth in his strength had not stopped at all; his aura continued to soar!
Within the third breath, the soul body was already overwhelmed, directly bursting on the spot by the overwhelming aura. A Dou Zong-level soul body turned into specks of soul energy and completely disappeared! Even more completely than the three guardians Xiao Yan had just killed; the powerful force directly caused his soul body to disintegrate from the inside out!
But before he disappeared, he still made a move and swung out a palm!
The most direct, simple, and straightforward slap!
A palm strike landed on Little Fairy Doctor, who was chasing them. The space around the palm was shattered by the force of the palm strike, and the purplish-gray poison gas on Little Fairy Doctor's body was compressed into a tangible substance by the power of the palm strike!
A simple, unadorned palm strike landed squarely on Little Fairy Doctor's chest, bending her body in the process, the sound of bones cracking ringing out crisply.
After being hit, Little Fairy Doctor turned into a white line and crashed directly into the edge of the passage.
With a loud "boom!", Little Fairy Doctor crashed into the edge of the passage and slid down, leaving a shocking trail of blood on the passage as she fell.
Little Fairy Doctor's originally strong aura had almost vanished, and she lay on the ground, barely breathing. A sizable pool of blood had formed beneath her body from her own blood, and Little Fairy Doctor, acting on instinct, lay motionless on the ground.
"Little Fairy Doctor!" Xiao Yan reacted immediately. The attack was too fast and terrifying. In an instant, Little Fairy Doctor had completely lost her ability to move.
"Is this the strength of a Dou Sheng?" Although Xiao Yan did not know the specific actions, the extraordinary aura and thunderous methods just now, and the action of subduing Xiao Yi Xian in one strike, must have been taken by the Saint King of the Soul Palace!
A Dou Sheng level expert is terrifyingly powerful!
