When Asura and Juliet were in a deadlock situation, someone was approaching Asura from behind under the ground. Currently, both of them were on land, so the chances of someone approaching Asura without being noticed were extremely high compared to when they were fighting in the air.
That person, when was twenty feet away from Asura, jumped out of the ground. Su Lin, who was carefully observing the fight reacts quickly and took out a bow and released an arrow. The arrow traveled with great speed, hitting that person on the head.
That person was a soldier from the Hell Kingdom and seemed to work under Juliet's command. When the arrow was about to hit the soldier, he threw something towards Asura. As the object left the soldier's hand, the arrow hit him, and he died on the spot.
The object was round, golden in color, shiny, and had a weird pattern engraved on it. Asura was about to move from that place when he heard Juliet's voice shout, "Seal!"
It turned out that her Battle skill was a sealing one. It formed a cage to seal Asura, but he used his Battle skill and shouted, "Heaven Breaking Fist!" His punch shattered the cage made of martial energy into pieces.
However, it was too late. The object fell beside Asura, only one foot away. Then it opened, and a golden mist covered Asura. After the mist dispersed, Asura found out that he was unscathed, completely unharmed, which confused him.
Juliet looked at him with a mocking smile and asked, "Do you want to know what that thing was?"
Before Asura could reply, Juliet continued, "Considering you will be the next puppet, I am going to tell you. It was a rare treasure I found during an adventure with Romeo. Do you know what the specialty of this treasure is? Let me tell you. Its speciality is to block a cultivator from gathering their spiritual energy."
After hearing she wanted to make him her puppet, Asura was a little surprised,. He ran his brain and then said, "You mean I will not be able to use my spiritual attack due to not being able to gather spiritual energy?"
Juliet, with a smile on her face, replied, "Correct. When I saw for the first time that your spiritual attack was effective against the healing factor of the green blood, I already made a plan to counter it. Unfortunately, that soldier could not sneak attack you when you were fighting with undead Romeo; otherwise, undead Romeo would still be alive. But now it doesn't matter. Now, I also have green blood, and you can't gather your spiritual energy anymore. I have already won half of this fight. Don't you think?"
Asura, realizing the gravity of the situation, assessed the newfound challenge. His mind raced to find a solution as Juliet continued to taunt him with her mocking smile.
Undeterred, Asura focused on his internal energy, attempting to gather spiritual energy despite the interference of the mysterious golden mist that had entered in his body. He concentrated on his cultivation, attempting to break through the blockage. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he strained against the restriction imposed by the treasure.
Juliet observed Asura's efforts with amusement. "Struggle all you want, Brat. The more you resist, the tighter the seal becomes. This treasure is a masterpiece, specifically designed for sealing the gathering power of an cultivators like you and me."
She said that much and attacked Asura. Asura, who was still focusing on gathering his spiritual energy, quickly redirected his focus to counter Juliet's upcoming attack. Their weapons clashed again as they ascended into the sky.
The situation mirrored the previous encounter, but this time Asura faced a new challenge. He had a headache, unsure of how he could defeat Juliet without utilizing his spiritual attack.
While contemplating this, Juliet seized the opportunity, delivering a swift kick to Asura's chest and launching a continuous whip attack.
Juliet said, "Admit your loss, brat. Even though you killed my Romeo, I will take good care of you when you become undead. Alternatively, you can ingest my servant pill. This way, you can serve me and retain your life. Don't you think this is a great offer compared to when I said I would make your life a living hell?"
Asura gritted his teeth, refusing to succumb to despair. In a moment of clarity, he recalled a technique he had learned during the period he was preparing for the upcoming invasion of the Hell Kingdom—a method to resonate with the surrounding spiritual energy instead of directly gathering it.
