Xu Xiaoyan looked around somewhat blankly and said anxiously, "It seemed like we just heard Xie Xie's scream, what exactly happened?"
In this gloomy space, besides sound, spiritual power and Soul Power couldn't spread out…
Standing to her left, Guo Xiaoxu reminded her, "We're not sure yet, but staying here is very dangerous, we must get out immediately!"
On her right, Liang Xiaoyu nodded and added, "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, these ghostly shadows should only be illusions that can't attack, most likely they are to obscure our vision!"
The reason they guarded her side was that they were afraid that the Ghost Emperor would launch a surprise attack, and as a control-class Soul Master, it would be hard to resist!
Xu Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment then agreed, "I… I understand, everyone must be thinking the same, we must first get out of the area and then regroup with them!"
If we remain scattered like this, we might get picked off one by one!
At that moment, a loud and clear voice echoed through the entire space…
"First soul skill, Holy Light Illumination!"
Following that, an immensely divine radiance, carrying a faint burning sensation, burst forth from the Holy Angel's phantom behind Yue Zhengyu…
Any gray haze touched by the light emitted a hissing tear sound, and within a few seconds, rapidly disappeared…
However, he was not content with just this range; he poured even more vast Soul Power into it…
The divine light grew even more brilliant, and the area it covered gradually expanded, frantically obliterating everything…
The people fleeing towards the back also subconsciously stopped in their tracks, focusing their gaze on the direction where the intense trembling was occurring…
It was vaguely discernible that the gloom in this area was rapidly thinning out, showing a trend of disappearing entirely…
Indeed, after about a dozen seconds, all were purified by the divine light, and their vision became clear once again…
Tang Wulin exclaimed in astonishment, "The Ghost Emperor's magical skill has actually been broken, judging from the fluctuations in the energy, it should be Zheng Yu's doing!"
Xie Xie, supported by Yuanen Yehui, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, generously praising, "Worthy of being the Clan Leader of the Angel Family. Even though the Ghost Emperor has broken through to God Rank, the restraining effect is still evident!"
The latter spoke with a face full of worry, "Xie Xie, you're in such a state, don't try to be strong!"
Xie Xie responded with a reassuring smile, "Ye Hui, don't worry, you've saved me once again after great difficulty; I won't die so easily!"
Xu Xiaoyan quickly scanned the surroundings, realized no one was missing, and couldn't help but pat her chest, letting out a sigh of relief…
"Good, everyone is fine, thanks to Zheng Yu this time, the haze in this area has been purified by his soul skill, we don't need to fall back temporarily!"
Guo Xiaoxu did not deny it but agreed, "Mhm, but to break the magical skill of the Ghost Emperor who has reached God Rank, Zheng Yu must have also spent a great deal of Soul Power!"
Liang Xiaoyu showed a sense of helplessness, "There's nothing that can be done about that. Accordingly, it also reduced the possibility of being picked off one by one by the Ghost Emperor!"
As for Yue Zhengyu, who caused all of this, he was gasping for breath urgently and thought to himself, "It seems that my first soul skill isn't so useless after all!"
Of course, he hadn't just increased the output of his Soul Power to destroy the Ghost Emperor's magical skill, but had also used his special ability to forcibly enhance his strength!
Otherwise, achieving this would have been extremely difficult!
Meanwhile, Di Tian, who hovered above, revealed a trace of surprise in his golden eyes, "These humans are unexpectedly capable!"
He originally planned to use Myriad Dragon Flames again to burn off the entire area, but Yue Zhengyu took the initiative first!
Bi Ji, also transformed back to her true form, came to his side and said, "These humans were once His Lordship's companions, so naturally they won't be too bad, but… the magical skill just now, for the Ghost Emperor, might not mean much!"
Di Tian did not retort, continuing, "That's also true, it's better to be cautious. Who knows what methods the Ghost Emperor will use next!"
As he pondered, the Ghost Emperor, who had previously been brought down by Yuanen Yehui's eighth soul skill, reappeared before everyone's eyes...
He was seen lightly biting his own lip corner, a trickle of fresh blood flowing down his chin, his face grim as he declared, "Humans, I will tear you into eight pieces!"
Previously, he had been careless, never expecting a woman's physical strength could be so overbearingly powerful...
If treated seriously, it was nothing at all...
Yue Zhengyu, the closest to the scene, fearlessly taunted, "Ghost Emperor, stop bragging. Your divine skill has already been broken by me. Whatever moves you have left, bring them all on!"
Having used the special ability of the Angel Family, his power now rivaled that of a True God!!
In the short term, he should have no fear of his opponent!!
In response, the Ghost Emperor stared coldly at him, with a piercing gaze he mocked, "Broken my divine skill? Haha... You used a secret art to enhance your strength to do that, didn't you?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan, standing at the back, seemed to realize something, her eyes filled with worry as she looked towards Yue Zhengyu...
If she remembered correctly, the "Sacrifice" was also a secret art of his family!
Yue Zhengyu, noticing her realization, chose not to respond, so as not to worry her...
Instead, he declared with unwavering conviction, "So what? As long as I can kill you, making some sacrifices doesn't matter!"
The Ghost Emperor shook his head, "You still don't understand the situation, do you? To me, you are all ants that I can crush at will!"
"The only reason I've given you hope is to slowly savor this hunt!"
The magical skill he had just used was, in fact, the weakest in his arsenal!
Yet even so, Yue Zhengyu had to rely on a secret art just to break it!
The gap between them was crystal clear!
Yue Zhengyu narrowed his eyes, "Enjoying the thrill of the hunt... you really are a sicko, no, I should say all members of the Holy Spirit Cult are sickos!"
The Ghost Emperor wasn't angered in the least, "Can I take that as a compliment??"
Despicable, vile, filthy, shameless... to an evil Soul Master, such a litany of words was like glory!!
After all, any means that achieved the goal was a good one!
Xie Xie, severely injured, had no intention to engage but could not help restraining his pain, hurling insults mercilessly...
"Pah, do you even have a shred of shame, you old lamp? Considering perversion a compliment, I bet someone like you lives in the darkness day and night, just like a sewer rat that can't stand the light of day!"
To such foul abuse, the Ghost Emperor still remained expressionless, "A rat... but then you, who almost died at my hands, must be even less than a rat. Indeed, you who have never experienced true darkness are nothing but lambs to the slaughter!"
"A word of advice, my next attack, if touched, will instantly be fatal..."
His calm words harbored extreme cruelty...
