From Bai Yunfei’s usage of Soul Ignition to now, it took only two moves for him to completely run out of soulforce once again.

One move was the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst, and the other move was the Soul Anchor Technique.

It was a type of energy-usage that seemed almost extravagant. He’d never be so spendthrift with his soulforce if not for who his opponent was.

Therefore, he didn’t expect for an unexpected development to occur right as the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst was about to strike his enemy…

The only thing Bai Yunfei felt was an extremely powerful energy enter his body first before his soul felt like it was being split in half!

If a soul had a material form, then Bai Yunfei’s soul felt like it was a pretzel with how it was being twisted. It came totally out of the blue and caused an immense amount of pain!

This was…a reversed soul attack!!

His very own Soul Anchor Technique had somehow been rebounded onto him!!

Dongfang Ming had a technique that could reflect soul attacks!! A technique so powerful that it was basically the same as the +12 additional effect of the Soul Sentinel Scarf!

Bai Yunfei had never heard of such a powerful soul skill before. He never thought that the enemy would have such an ace like this hidden up their sleeve. And to think it would come out now when he was wholly convinced he’d be able to kill his opponent. There was no way he would’ve been able to defend against it!

Dongfang Ming had hidden this trump card masterfully. Even after enduring the Soul Anchor Technique and taking massive damage, he managed to keep the soul skill hidden away until he could catch Bai Yunfei off guard!

……

“Hmph!!”

Dongfang Ming sneered at the sound of Bai Yunfei’s wail. It was his turn to attack!

Despite him deflecting the Soul Anchor Technique, Dongfang Ming wasn’t about to relax just yet. He still had the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst to worry about, and his soulforce was much weaker than before due to it prioritizing the regeneration of his wounds!

Retreating wasn’t a path Dongfang Ming wanted to take. Not with two powerful dragons chasing after him. Waving his right hand, he created a bloody-red piece of armor in front of him.

His demonic body was something akin to a high-heaven tier soul armament, but it still seemed weird that he didn’t wear a piece of armor over him. It was even more strange to see a piece of armor be placed in front of him like a shield instead of it being worn.

“Hah!!”

He exhaled aloud. The soulforce within him immediately began to flow irregularly from his palm onto the blood-red armor in front of him.

“Bzz….”

The piece of armor trembled from the palm strike before the blood-red light from the armor transformed into a humanoid shape as if mimicking a person wearing the armor. Then as if to simulate a person flying, the piece of armor flew off toward the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst!

Dongfang Ming watched emotionlessly as the piece of armor drew closer and closer to the two dragons, and when they were about to hit each other…he clenched his hand tightly into a fist!

“Boom!!!”

The two dragons careened into the armor with a loud explosion, but the armor had done its job, the two dragons had been blown apart!

“Boom boom boom boom boom…”

The jaws were the first to go. Like a chain reaction, the rest of the dragons soon followed!

“Hmph…”

A low growl escaped from Dongfang Ming, something about the effort seemed to be taxing on his strength. Also, a sliver of blood began to flow from his lips.

His soul armament had been destroyed!

Like a bomb, his armor had been blown apart because of the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst!

The power of that soul armament was probably just as strong as Bai Yunfei’s armor with high compatibility to boot. Sacrificing a powerful soul armament like that just to block a soul attack required a snap judgment not even Bai Yunfei was sure he’d be able to make…

……

One twitch of his hand later and Dongfang Ming could be seen with the helix sword back in his right hand once again! Mustering his soulforce, he summoned it to his sword and slashed out!

A beam of dark-red light shot out from the blade, cleaving everything within its path as it traveled forward. In one fluid motion, it traveled through the flames from the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst and cleared a path!

And without further ado, Dongfang Ming flew through the path his sword made toward…Bai Yunfei!!

Using a powerful technique when injured, and even halting his rejuvenation to do it, required a strong amount of will. To then sacrifice a powerful lifebound armament to defend against the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst required the utmost determination to kill Bai Yunfei once in for all!

It didn’t even take seconds from when Bai Yunfei first screamed out to when Dongfang Ming was within three hundred meters of him in the sea of flames!

“Yunfei!!”

Xiao Qi cried out in terror.

Xiao Qi didn’t know what happened, all he felt was a huge attack onto Bai Yunfei’s soul before the enemy was upon him!

There was no time for the bird to reach Bai Yunfei’s side. Reaching speeds far beyond than normal, Xiao Qi dove down like a meteorite toward Dongfang Ming!

“Whoosh!!”

He didn’t even reach Dongfang Ming when a brilliant beam of dark-red light shot at him!

Within the beam of light was the powerful helix sword!

“Boom!!”

The sword was like a dragon. Initially hidden, the helix sword appeared out of nowhere to slash at the sharp claws of Xiao Qi. Not even the powerful Golden Crow Claws were able to break through the helix sword! Forced back by the sword, Xiao Qi had no choice but to back off.

And that meant he wasn’t able to stop Dongfang Ming!

“Yunfei!!”

Xiao Qi cried out in terror once again. The realization that he failed to come to Bai Yunfei’s rescue was starting to plummet him into despair.

He could sense that Bai Yunfei was far too preoccupied dealing with the damage to his soul. Combined with his extreme consumption of soulforce, Bai Yunfei hadn’t much left to fight off Dongfang Ming’s attack!

Dongfang Ming knew that as well, hence why he was attacking. The closer he got to Bai Yunfei, the bigger his sneer became. Raising his right hand up, he moved in to grab at Bai Yunfei’s throat.

But…that was the moment when…

“Bzzz…”

Something within Bai Yunfei’s body pulsated once with energy before a tremendous wave of it exploded outward!

“What?!”

Dongfang Ming’s eyes widened in astonishment. Amazed, he watched as Bai Yunfei suddenly snap up from his pained squirming to punch him!

This reaction came to Dongfang Ming as a complete shock. With how close he was, Dongfang Ming had no choice but to snap his hand back to defend himself.

“Bang!!”

The sound of fist meeting flesh could be heard as blood and bits of flesh went flying. Bai Yunfei’s punch was enhanced by the +12 and +13 additional effect of his Critical Glove and was further bolstered by his current level of power. Combined, his punch was able to completely destroy Dongfang Ming’s right arm!

Simultaneously, a white beam of light flew out from Bai Yunfei’s waist toward Dongfang Ming!!

“Seal!!”
