Chapter 272: Who Says I'm an Evil Soul Master?
"Don't come any closer!" Ye Bone Yi exclaimed as soon as she opened her eyes and saw Poison Douluo Du Qianjue 's face bearing a mischievous smile. Her face turned pale, and she quickly raised her hands to protect her chest, watching him nervously.
"Heh, what's there to cover? Plain and uninteresting, I can't be bothered to look," Du Qianjue stood up, his face full of disdain as he glanced at Ye Bone Yi's chest.
What? Plain and uninteresting? Ye Bone Yi, utterly bewildered, followed Du Qianjue's gaze down to her own chest.
"..." "Scoundrel!" she yelled, her face flushing with anger as her golden hair seemed to explode with fury.
But no matter what she said, her delicate appearance made her words seem as impactful as a felon throwing a feeble punch...
"Damned evil soul master, I knew you people were no good!" Ye Bone Yi shouted, neck stiff and eyes full of indignation at Du Qianjue, "If you dare, just kill me!"
Du Qianjue, having lost interest in teasing her, crossed his arms and scoffed dismissively: "Who told you I'm an evil soul master?"
"You are an evil soul master! I've never felt such an evil presence as yours and that other person's in my life," Ye Bone Yi declared, releasing her Holy Angel martial soul and flapping her wings to distance herself from Du Qianjue.
As she took the moment to glance around again, the numerous powerful undead creatures, even though Electrolux had left, still lingered reluctantly nearby.
The sheer number of these formidable undead beings once again sunk Ye Bone Yi's spirits, filling her with despair.
Too many... I'll break... No, I'll be drained... No, that's not right. I'll be exhausted of soul power and then overwhelmed!
Even without Du Qianjue and Electrolux making a move, Ye Bone Yi wasn't confident she could survive an onslaught from so many undead creatures.
However, influenced by her Holy Angel martial soul, Ye Bone Yi's spirit remained unbroken even in dire straits.
"So what if I die? Before I do, I'll take down as many of these disgusting creatures as I can!" Ye Bone Yi declared with resolve in her eyes.
Clap, clap, clap... "What a commendable will, truly worthy of a Holy Angel martial soul's bearer," Du Qianjue clapped sarcastically, his tone tinged with mockery. "But are you sure you can handle them?"
Just as Ye Bone Yi wondered about the meaning behind Du Qianjue's words, her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the undead creatures.
Because... The undead creatures were emitting the purest light and holy aura?
Ye Bone Yi felt as if her worldview had shattered. These were clearly evil undead, yet they bore no trace of death or bloodlust, instead giving her a... familiar feeling?
"Illusion! What soul skill have you used on me?!" Ye Bone Yi clutched her head, swinging her Angelic Holy Sword and striking a Death Knight's armor.
However, her once-infallible Holy Flames against evil soul masters had no effect on the Death Knight. Even though the Death Knight's face lacked flesh, Ye Bone Yi could still see a hint of enjoyment in its expression. Even the soul fire flickering in its eye sockets seemed livelier.
Hehehehe... Undead magic, kid! Do you understand the value of a death god's divine magic?
Du Qianjue almost laughed aloud. Holy Angel martial soul was indeed effective against bloodthirsty evil soul masters, who were fuel for the Holy Flames due to their blood aura and burdened spirits.
But these undead in the Necroplane, essentially created by Electrolux using light magic and transformed into pure darkness, were immune to light magic.
How could Electrolux have staged a near extinction of the Holy Demon Continent's Church of Light using the Necrocalamity if he wasn't immune to light magic?
"No... I don't believe it!" Ye Bone Yi soared, her Angelic Holy Sword radiating immense light, sending slashes into the crowd of undead.
But her attacks were utterly ineffective.
Even under the illumination of her light, the undead creatures instinctively gathered at Ye Bone Yi's feet, lying down as if sunbathing. The sword slashes she delivered sparked off their armor and bones without leaving even a deep mark.
If these were the lowest skeletons, they might indeed be shattered by Ye Bone Yi's attacks, as they couldn't withstand her pure soul power hits.
But these in front of her? All were high-tier undead, be it Death Knights, Abominations, Wailing Banshees, or Necromancers. For Ye Bone Yi to take them down... It wasn't entirely hopeless, but if they just stood there letting her slash, she'd probably have to hack away all day.
"Tired yet? Want some water, a break, then continue?" Du Qianjue teased, taking out a water bottle and tossing it to Ye Bone Yi.
"Who wants your water!" Ye Bone Yi sliced the water bottle thrown by Du Qianjue in half, fuming as she looked at him. By now, she was beginning to believe what Du Qianjue had said.
Although it was beyond her understanding how undead creatures could possess attributes of light, their very nature meant they weren't evil.
She just couldn't get past their sinister appearances. Yes, Ye Bone Yi was a stickler for looks; even if the undead were of light attribute, she couldn't accept their evil exteriors.
Du Qianjue slowly withdrew his hand, his expression gradually turning sinister and cruel.
"You dared to slice my bottle, huh?" Get down here! A hand formed from spiritual power snatched Ye Bone Yi from the sky like catching a small chick and, amid her cries of shock, pressed her down over Du Qianjue 's knee.
"Let you cause trouble, let you slice my bottle!" Du Qianjue 's hand raised high, and under Ye Bone Yi's mortified gaze, it came down hard on her dignified rear, producing a crisp sound.
Whap, whap, whap... This wasn't applause but Du Qianjue 's unilateral spanking of Ye Bone Yi.
And Du Qianjue even used spatial abilities to lock down all of Ye Bone Yi's movements. Unable to speak, she could only glare at Du Qianjue, her golden eyes filled with humiliation and rage.
"Yo, still daring to glare at me?" Du Qianjue clicked his tongue, his hand suddenly exerting more force.
"I don't think you understand who's boss until I teach you a lesson!" (End of Chapter)
