The Dark Bell pursed her thin lips and said coldly, "Even if we are evil Soul Masters, we don't have deep hatred for each other, do we?"
The Titan Ape sneered as if hearing a joke, "Heh... How interesting. Since when do evil Soul Masters talk like this? Those who died by your hands, did they have deep hatred with you?"
To soul beasts, evil Soul Masters were even more detestable than the Federation's Soul Masters!
The Dark Bell took a deep breath, her eyes brimming with a fierce intent to kill. "It seems this battle is inevitable then... I have no choice but to personally twist off your head!"
From their brief exchange before, she already knew that the Titan Ape's weakness was its soul, and her specialty happened to be spiritual attacks!
It could be said she held an absolute advantage!
"Hmph, big talk. Let's see if you can take my attack without dodging!"
Without any more nonsense, the Titan Ape once again launched himself, charging straight out...
Feeling the oppressive force of the former, the Dark Bell released her soul skill again...
"Third Soul Skill, Devil's Sound Shelter!"
The bell behind her expanded several times over, then enclosed her slender body within...
Unfazed, the Titan Ape said, "Thinking just one soul skill can block my attack, dream on!!"
With the power of bloodline added to the punch, its strength had reached a terrifying level!
"Bang!!"
As the fist finally landed on the bell, it was like triggering a bell cover, emitting a sound like striking steel...
Immediately after, an even stronger force reflected back, forcibly blasting the Titan Ape away...
After crashing to the ground, it created a hole tens of meters deep...
Seeing her counterattack effective, the Dark Bell sneered, "Foolish! Although I don't know why your strength is so great, your brain clearly isn't capable of wielding it!"
"Release your Martial Soul, otherwise, you can't possibly be my opponent!"
No sooner had her words fallen than the unharmed Titan Ape leaped out from the hole, his fiery gaze fixated on her...
After transforming into a human for so many years, this was still the first time it faced such a tough opponent!
Discovering that the former was unharmed, the Dark Bell's smile vanished from her cheeks, "How is this possible! To endure such an attack and still not be injured!"
Stirring its muscles and bones, the Titan Ape released nine soul rings...
"If you thought that last strike was my full power, you are gravely mistaken. The battle has only just begun!!"
In an instant, an even more terrifying pressure burst forth from his body, causing air turbulence...
Even someone as resolute as the Dark Bell involuntarily took a step back...
A thought surfaced in her mind!
You must not let it hit you, otherwise, at best you'll be paralyzed; at worst, you'll die on the spot!!
The Azure Oxpython, who was closely watching their battle, silently said to itself, "It looks like my second brother should be able to deal with this woman!"
Who would have thought, from within the smokescreen ahead, calm words rang out once more...
"What are you looking at? Don't tell me you really think you've killed me?"
To the naked eye, the Ming Emperor, cloaked in a grey-white aura, slowly walked out...
But unlike before, his body was covered with a layer of perfectly fitting metallic substance!
The Azure Oxpython immediately recognized it and said with a grave expression, "Four-Word Battle Armor! It looks like it saved your life!"
Indeed, as part of the Holy Spirit Cult's high-end combat force, it definitely had high-rank Battle Armor to protect its body!
The Ming Emperor's gaze held no emotion as he stated deliberately, "No, even without the Battle Armor, that last hit wouldn't have killed me!"
"Alright then, since you're keen on taking action, then... prepare to die here!"
"Netherworld Requiem!"
He stretched out his right hand, and a slender, sharp Cross Sword slowly coalesced, surrounded by a grey fog that symbolized the threat of death...
The Azure Oxpython also sensed the intense danger it brought and exclaimed, "Is this… a soul-guided weapon? No… no, this power, it's a Divine Artifact!!"
This evil Soul Master actually possessed a Divine Artifact!!
The Ming Emperor said with slight surprise, "Indeed, this is my Divine Artifact, and any defense is meaningless before it!"
"And you will soon become one of the lost souls under its command!"
The Azure Oxpython quickly pulled away, thinking to itself, "If I had known this guy had a Divine Artifact, I wouldn't have made an enemy of them for now, but even if I wanted to run, it seems there's no chance!"
A smile curled at the corner of the Ming Emperor's mouth, "Heh, scared, are you? Too bad it's already too late!"
"First Soul Skill, Netherworld Breath"
As the first soul ring lit up, several strands of cold and gloomy nether energy burst forth and slowly coiled around the Netherworld Requiem…
The next second, the Ming Emperor clenched it, and his figure turned into a residual image, vanishing in an instant…
The Azure Oxpython naturally didn't dare to be careless, similarly releasing nine soul rings beneath its feet…
As one of the soul rings lit up…
Dense electric arcs burst forth, intertwining with each other to form a massive electric net…
The Ming Emperor suddenly appeared behind, coldly saying, "I told you, defense is meaningless!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Eternal Samsara!"
His figure gradually blurred, and then transformed into a total of eighteen Sword Shadows, slashing towards the Azure Oxpython from different directions…
Even when they touched the electric net, the Sword Shadows were unobstructed, effortlessly passing through…
The Azure Oxpython was forced to dodge…
"Puchi!"
With a moment's inattention, a Sword Shadow grazed by, and a bloody wound suddenly appeared on its shoulder…
Glancing at the wound, it gritted its teeth and said, "My defense, it's completely ineffective!"
Although the Ming Emperor's attacks were light, they could instantly break through its defense!
The Ming Emperor didn't choose to stop after the successful attack, but approached once more…
"That's all you've got? The attack just now was merely a warm-up!"
"Third Soul Skill, Dark Rise!"
The nether energy emanating from his body became several times denser, with his attributes receiving a significant boost!
Then, he lunged towards the Azure Oxpython's face once more…
Seeing this, the other could only coldly shout, "Azure Desolation Soul!"
Countless thunderbolts shot straight into the sky, forming mirrors in the air, each transforming into the head of an Azure Oxpython…
After locking onto the Ming Emperor, they fell with the might to destroy heavens and earth…
"Boom!!"
Between heaven and earth, lightning flashed violently…
Everything was melted by the high temperatures…
The Azure Oxpython glanced around at the empty surroundings, "Escaped, huh… This guy is really cautious!"
Little did it know, not far away the Ming Emperor was covering his chest with violent coughs, and a few bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead…
"That was close, luckily I chose to dodge instead of continuing the attack, otherwise…"
