"Don't worry. Jun Tianlin was seriously injured yesterday. Even if he is level 58, he can't exert his full strength" Hu Liena stood up to stabilize the army.
Xie Yue turned back to the auxiliary spirit master, Xu Yu, and ordered "Proceed according to the plan."
"Yes!" Xu Yu's scepter emitted bursts of golden light. His four spirit rings moved at once, but only the fourth spirit ring flashed.
"What is this?" Yu Xiaogang, watching the match, was confused. He could tell it was not a fusion ring but had never seen anything like this before.
"The Golden Scepter!" Ning Fengzhi's expression grew serious.
The Golden Scepter was said to rival the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Nine Hearts Flowering Apple because of its unique all-encompassing abilities—amplification, healing, and even restriction. While it wasn't as specialized as the other two, it was far broader in scope.
"The fourth soul skill, Seal of Light!"
Xu Yu's four soul rings flew rapidly toward the Emperor Team.
"Not good, scatter!" Yu Tianheng shouted. Even though he didn't know what Xu Yu was doing, it was certainly nothing good.
The three people in front dispersed, but the four soul rings ignored Yu Tianheng and Gu Ran, flying straight for Jun Tianlin. This was soul skill locking. The Emperor battlefield was too small to dodge.
Three of the four rings landed on Jun Tianlin.
Bibi Dong smiled. Their plan had succeeded. She had personally selected Xu Yu's fourth soul ring to specifically counter the Sword Lord.
"I understand now. What a clever strategy, Spirit Hall!" Ning Fengzhi said, understanding the intent behind the move.
Yu Xiaogang remained confused.
The Seal of Light was a soul skill that locked onto the opponent's soul rings, preventing the use of the corresponding soul skills and weakening their physical attributes.
Their real target was Jun Tianlin's third soul ring. By sealing the Flow of Purity, Hu Liena and Xie Yue could unleash their demon martial fusion skill without fear.
However, there was a limitation—the sealed soul ring couldn't be of higher age than Xu Yu's.
Knowing Jun Tianlin's rings were powerful, Xu Yu combined two of his soul rings. His fourth ring (4,800+ years) and second ring (700+ years) together exceeded Jun Tianlin's third ring (5,500 years), successfully sealing the Feng Shui Flow.
He then used his third ring (1,500 years) to seal Jun Tianlin's second ring (1,000 years), disabling the Infernal Frost Dominion
Finally, Xu Yu didn't waste his first ring (400+ years) and sealed Yu Tianheng's first ring.
"Bastard! You treat me as an afterthought?" Yu Tianheng roared.
"Fifth soul skill, Death Thunderstorm!"
Furious, Yu Tianheng unleashed his fifth soul skill. Black lightning formed a dragon, attacking Xu Yu.
"Fifth soul skill, Flying Sand and Wild Flames!"
Spirit Hall Academy had prepared for this. Yan activated his fifth soul skill, intercepting Yu Tianheng's attack. Their clash was evenly matched.
"Brother, now!" Hu Liena shouted.
Without the Flow of Purity, the Charm Demon Fusion Skill would be unstoppable.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue merged into one form—an androgynous figure surrounded by a terrifying red mist that enveloped the Emperor Team.
Cheers erupted from Spirit Hall Academy. Except for Jun Tianlin, who had previously countered the charm demon, no one had ever escaped.
But now, Jun Tianlin's countermeasure was sealed. What could he do?
"Tianheng, lead everyone and break through the mist!" Jun Tianlin shouted.
Within the demon mist, all soul masters' attributes were halved. They had to escape or be overwhelmed.
"Escape? Dream on!" came the eerie mixed voice of Hu Liena and Xie Yue, chasing the Emperor Team.
"Don't even think about it! Tianxun Liangyi!"
Jun Tianlin activated the Shushan Heart Method, forcing the demon mist's attention onto himself.
Outside the mist, it became six Emperor Team members against five Spirit Hall members. Inside, Jun Tianlin fought alone against the demon.
"Jun Tianlin, worthy of your reputation. Even sealed, you find ways to restrain us. But it's not enough! We will deal with you first!"
"Come! Let me see if your crude martial arts have improved over the years!" Jun Tianlin shouted.
He unleashed the Seven Killing Sword Technique—Heaven-shattering and Earth-shattering—a massive force crashing down.
"The Seven Killing Sword Technique again? It won't work this time!" Xie Yue sneered.
With exquisite control, the moon blade in Xie Yue's left hand blocked Jun Tianlin's powerful blow. At the same time, his right blade slashed at Jun Tianlin's arm at an odd angle.
Unable to retreat, Jun Tianlin lifted his right leg to block.
"Ding!" The moon blade rebounded.
"A soul bone!" Xie Yue exclaimed, realizing Jun Tianlin had a right leg soul bone.
"It's just a right leg soul bone. Avoid his right foot and strike elsewhere," Hu Liena advised calmly.
Xie Yue renewed his assault. His tricky blade techniques now suppressed Jun Tianlin, taking advantage of the martial soul fusion's power.
Xie Yue had clearly grown stronger, but Jun Tianlin had more than just the Seven Killing Sword Technique up his sleeve!
