A large amount of pus was corroding the net formed by Space Power.
With a flash of silver light, Ba Shu pulled away to create distance.
Looking at the venom splattered on the ground, a trace of disgust flashed in Ba Shu’s eyes.
"Truly ugly... a True Form Release that even oneself can’t control."
Ba Shu wasn’t referring to the appearance of the Yin Yi Elder, but to the use of such uncontrollable power, ultimately ending up with a backlash from the Power of Soul.
Last time it was Fidis, and this time it’s this Yin Yi Elder.
Ba Shu had already figured it out, these people didn’t completely master True Form Release.
Instead, they forcibly stimulated the potential of their Power of Soul in some way to achieve True Form Release for the sake of Strength.
That’s why, when they are weak, there would be a backlash from the Power of Soul.
Shaking her head, Ba Shu looked up into the distance and saw He Zheng watching her warily from afar.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, He Zheng asked in a firm voice, "I remember, you’re the Transformed Demon Beast caught by Third Rank Su last time, aren’t you?"
"Indeed, it’s me," Ba Shu responded with a soft laugh and a nod.
"Can’t you see, I came to kill," Ba Shu chuckled helplessly, "I was in seclusion, but you humans barged in, so I was forced to come."
He Zheng’s heart sank as he gripped the wolf-hair brush tightly.
But Ba Shu released the True Form Release and said with a smile, "Don’t be nervous, I have little interest in you."
He Zheng dared not relax his vigilance, given his current state; even without True Form Release, it would be difficult to handle her.
However, she did indeed save him earlier.
Ba Shu smiled and asked, "I’m curious, is Mr. Su Yuan here as well?"
"What are you asking about Third Rank Su for?"
He Zheng became even more cautious, as Third Rank Su had previously defeated her and tied her up. Could she be seeking revenge on Third Rank Su?
Ba Shu laughed, "Because among humans, he’s the only one I find interesting~"
He Zheng looked at Ba Shu’s friendly yet unreadable expression, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you want a fight, fight. I can’t divulge any information about Third Rank Su!"
"Heh, you’re quite loyal," Ba Shu chuckled and suddenly pointed in a direction, "No wonder you had those little ones run first~"
He Zheng’s expression darkened; he hadn’t expected Ba Shu to be so perceptive, spotting Lou Yuntian and the others from afar.
Her words clearly intended to threaten him with Lou Yuntian and the others.
Narrowing his eyes, He Zheng tightened his grip on the wolf-hair brush, unwilling to say more to Ba Shu, ready to buy some time for Lou Yuntian and the others.
Seeing that He Zheng was about to take action, Ba Shu laughed, "What, you want to harm the one who saved you? Is this how your world treats people?"
Rest assured, since Mr. Su Yuan spared me, I naturally won’t attack him now... at least for now.
And, I’m not asking you to reveal his whereabouts; just tell me if he’s here or not~"
He Zheng looked at Ba Shu, and after a moment of contemplation, nodded slightly.
"There you go," Ba Shu smiled and then turned to leave.
"Why did you help me?" He Zheng called after her.
"Since you’re his subordinate and he spared me, I’ll spare you~
Besides, I’ve already killed two Burning Suns, and that’s enough for practice."
He Zheng felt a complex mix of emotions.
Previously, he had doubts about Third Rank Su; who would have thought that he would owe his life to Su’s actions...
"By the way, a piece of advice," Ba Shu, already some distance away, turned around and looked at He Zheng’s pus-covered left hand, "If you don’t act decisively, your whole body won’t hold out~"
He Zheng’s heart sank, sensing that his left arm had become a source of poison.
Earlier, the Four Symbols Fusion Spirit was shattered, and he suffered massive poison invasion. Official source is N()velFire.net
Other areas could still endure, but the left arm, which was poisoned first, had poison sinking into the bone, still trying to spread through his body.
With a determined look, He Zheng formed a sword with his fingers and slashed at his left arm, cutting it off.
He grunted, blood gushing from his shoulder, but the internal pressure from suppressing the poison significantly lessened.
After swiftly stopping the bleeding, He Zheng looked up, only to find that Ba Shu had vanished.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, He Zheng felt a complex mix of emotions...
Soon, Lou Yuntian and the others came over.
"He Imperial Envoy! Are you okay?"
"I’m fine, it’s just a lost arm," He Zheng replied, shaking his head.
Lou Yuntian and the others saw the decayed arm not far away, realizing it was not a small matter...
Luckily, there were techniques in the division to regenerate lost limbs, so they could heal him once they returned.
But as he gazed at his empty left arm, He Zheng seemed to have made some decision.
The Female Envoy promptly cast healing and purification Magic on He Zheng.
Looking at the direction Ba Shu had disappeared, Lou Yuntian asked, "He Imperial Envoy, who was that just now?"
The earlier events here were clear to Lou Yuntian and the others.
The mysterious female fighter suddenly appeared, launching an incredibly fierce attack that swiftly killed the two aloof young men, yet she spared He Imperial Envoy, seemingly as if she was helping.
Unfortunately, the Cloud Mirror Technique cannot record sound, leaving everyone unclear about the specific situation, naturally filling them with curiosity.
He Zheng sighed, "It’s a long story. In short, that was the Grey Realm Star Beast that Third Rank Su once let go. Maybe it helped me out of old affection."
"Third Rank Su?" Lou Yuntian and the others were shocked, "Does that mean... she was once defeated by Third Rank Su?"
Upon hearing this, Lou Yuntian and the others couldn’t help but feel a jolt in their hearts.
Just now, they all witnessed the strength of that mysterious female fighter.
Although there was the factor of He Imperial Envoy wearing down the aloof middle-aged man and the Yin Yi Elder, the fact that she could cleanly and swiftly kill those two enemies spoke volumes of her terrifying prowess.
To think that such a person was once defeated by the extraordinarily promoted Third Rank Su?
The clangor in the Earth Cave continued incessantly.
"Boom!" A resounding explosion, and both Su Yuan and the tall, thin man retreated to opposite sides.
The tall, thin man looked at the Black Flame Cloak on Su Yuan and smiled, "This enhanced state of yours, I fear you won’t be able to maintain it for long, right?"
Su Yuan’s complexion showed a hint of pallor, and the Black Flame Cloak on him dimmed somewhat.
As the opponent said, the Star Power within him was already quite strained.
Although the Evil Spirit Entanglement was powerful, its major issue lay in its consumption!
In the previous battle against the two Chongyang Knights who mastered the True Form Release, a significant amount of Star Power had already been expended.
Now facing an even stronger tall, thin man, after thirty to forty rounds of high-intensity exchanges, his Star Power was becoming considerably exerted.
Though if it’s merely about the consumption of Star Power, he certainly had reserves...
Su Yuan made a mental command, and immediately Ruan Ruan appeared on his shoulder.
Without needing Su Yuan to say more, a black glow on Ruan Ruan’s body enveloped Su Yuan.
No longer needing Sea Soul Protection, with Ruan Ruan’s current utilization of the Devouring Law, it could already achieve "Reverse Devouring," that is, input converted to output.
Moreover, this output efficiency was even faster than Sea Soul Protection!
In an instant, the previously dimmed Black Flame Cloak on Su Yuan deepened visibly.
Seeing this, the tall, thin man couldn’t help but frown, "Didn’t expect you to have a Guardian Beast that can replenish Star Power..."
He thought that exhausting his opponent’s Star Power to the point where the enhanced skills couldn’t be maintained would make it easy to resolve, but now it seemed increasingly troublesome.
"Well then, I’ll just have to use a few more methods to resolve this earlier... hmm?"
Before his eyes, a blur, Su Yuan already appeared with a longsword in hand at close range.
Contrary to the tall, thin man’s expectation, Su Yuan unexpectedly initiated the attack.
The tall, thin man instinctively swung his scythe-like right arm to slash, only to see a brilliant silver hue appear in Su Yuan’s eyes, as if an infinitely vast cosmos resided within them.
The tall, thin man’s heart was startled, and then, his entire mind was immediately pulled in.
Sword Intent surged, and Su Yuan swung the Demon Saber with Divine Break Sword Light towards the opponent’s neck.
But at that moment, a layer of intricately textured Green Steel emerged on the tall, thin man’s body, with innumerable metal-like micro particles on his skin’s surface.
The Divine Break Sword Light gradually cut into it, and Su Yuan could feel his spiritual power rapidly plummet like a breached dam!
"Such a solid Power of Soul!"
Su Yuan’s expression hardened, this physical defense was even more tenacious than the previous Golden Bow of the Qiguang female!
Especially at the head area, under the All-Knowing Vision, the density of the micro metal particles on the surface of his skin was three to four times greater than other parts of the body.
Watching as the Divine Break Sword Light slowly sliced through, a struggle appeared in the tall, thin man’s eyes.
Su Yuan decisively altered his strategy, turning the sword’s edge and slicing downward towards the shoulder.
Although it remained significantly resistant, it was noticeably easier.
Blood splattered out, and the tall, thin man’s left hand was swiftly cut off!
Stimulated by the pain, the look of struggle in the tall, thin man’s eyes grew more intense.
But Su Yuan’s hand did not stop, seamlessly continuing the downward slash on the tall, thin man’s leg.
That incredibly hard body, just as Su Yuan had slashed halfway through, the opponent had already broken free.
The tall, thin man’s expression changed dramatically, and he immediately swung his scythe-like right arm towards Su Yuan’s chest.
Su Yuan remained still, his longsword persistently cutting into the tall, thin man’s left leg.
The Black Flame Cloak of Evil Spirit Entanglement was visibly being cut into by the tall, thin man’s sharp blade arm.
Seeing the tall, thin man’s blade arm about to cut through the Black Flame Cloak aimed for his heart, suddenly, with a "chfft," blood spurted, as Su Yuan severed the tall, thin man’s left leg first!
The tall, thin man’s expression turned extremely grim, never expecting the opponent to have such perverse control skills, and moreover... able to cut through his body?
He, with an A-level Defense Qualification, possessed the top-tier Defensive Soul Power "Unbreakable Green Steel Skin"!
