Chapter 342: Chapter 339 Soul Slash"Hmph, I wonder who gave you such strong confidence. Teng Beast, there is no need for you to take action. I will personally deal with this kid and devour his soul." Elder Jingzhe’s expression was grim, his eyes flashing with ferocious light. As he stretched out his hand, a robust and strange fluctuation surged quickly from his body. That invisible and intangible soul power made one feel its undeniably real existence. "Understood." Teng Beast nodded indifferently. Since Elder Jingzhe was so inclined, he naturally would not do anything to dampen the spirit. Angering Elder Jingzhe usually did not end well. "Boy, what comes next will show you what a true soul attack is!" Elder Jingzhe brought his hands together, and in the next moment, the air around him suddenly trembled. Within it appeared several transparent long needles. These needles seemed trivial, visible only by the cold light flashing on them and the subtle fluctuations of soul power. "Wind Shadow Divine Needle!" With a cold shout from Elder Jingzhe, those transparent long needles emitted a buzzing sound and, after a slight tremble, whooshed into beams of light, shooting towards Ye Xuan with extreme speed. "Soul Light Shield, full defense!" Facing the dense barrage of transparent long needles that came at him like a torrential downpour, Ye Xuan’s gaze shifted. His figure hastily retreated, and with a wave of his hand, the once palm-sized transparent small light shield swelled rapidly under the infusion of soul power until it covered his entire body. Pu pu pu pu! The cold light fell on Ye Xuan’s body with terrifying speed, like a ferocious storm, seemingly intent on thoroughly puncturing the Soul Light Shield protecting him. However, no matter how violently the Wind Shadow Divine Formation bombarded, Ye Xuan’s side managed to maintain the Soul Light Shield unbroken, as stable as Mount Tai. "Let’s see how long you can hold out!" Elder Jingzhe’s complexion shifted, and then his eyes displayed an even colder light. He gestured again, and instantly, another large batch of transparent long needles swept out, creating a denser array than before, originating from the surrounding air. "Such a terrifying soul attack." Many strong individuals on Black Water Island swallowed nervously, feeling a chill on their scalp. Even though they were still at a distance, they felt as if they could sense the threat of these transparent long needles, feeling chilled to the bone. In particular, their souls felt as if they were bitten by insects, bristling with bumps. This kind of soul attack could turn their souls into sieves. "This Elder Jingzhe, his soul power is indeed very potent." Seeing the soul long needles that once again filled the air, Ye Xuan’s pupils contracted slightly. Elder Jingzhe’s soul power was extremely formidable, seemingly even more difficult to deal with than he had anticipated. Sssss... The soul long needles repeatedly struck Ye Xuan’s transparent shield, and with the constant bombardment, cracks began to appear, sprawling all over it, on the verge of shattering. "Die!" Elder Jingzhe suddenly lifted the corners of his mouth and then roared, the soul long needles looking as if they were about to pierce through Ye Xuan’s body the next moment, turning him into a hedgehog. Crack crack! In the midst of those somewhat horrifying gazes, the transparent shield protecting Ye Xuan suddenly shattered bit by bit, truly breached by those soul long needles. "Beautiful." The eyes of Teng Beast lit up, a cruel smile appearing on his lips as he waited for the moment Ye Xuan would be killed by the soul long needles. However, just as many people thought Ye Xuan was about to lose his life, suddenly, a light flickered between Ye Xuan’s eyebrows, and an invisible repelling force swept out. The densely packed soul long needles suspended around him stalled abruptly, no longer able to advance even a fraction more. "Hmm?" Elder Jingzhe was taken aback, his expression then darkened as he seemed to urge his soul power in secret, increasing the pressure on those soul long needles. "Go back!" Facing Elder Jingzhe’s pressing, Ye Xuan’s expression showed no significant change. Instead, he shouted loudly, and the next moment, those soul long needles suddenly rolled back, reflecting towards Elder Jingzhe. But those rolling back soul long needles simply stopped midway between the two of them, as if they were in a stand-off. "This kid, how is he so troublesome?" Teng Beast, seeing the soul long needles frozen between them, also couldn’t help but feel secretly shocked. He couldn’t understand how this young whippersnapper, in such a clash of soul power, was giving Elder Jingzhe such a hard time. Could this mean that this lad’s spiritual talent is so high that even Elder Jingzhe, despite his best efforts, cannot match it? "Dammit, what haven’t I seen before? Today, I refuse to believe I can’t handle a wet-behind-the-ears brat like you!" This deadlock undoubtedly sent Elder Jingzhe into a tremendous rage. Many eyes from the Sea God Palace were watching here. Now, the disheveled state in which he could not even deal with Ye Xuan was certainly being observed by many, and who knows how many are already sneering at his incompetence in secret. With a ruthless heart, Elder Jingzhe’s robes violently billowed as he silently chanted. Soul power surged wildly, actually condensing into a soul spear. Then, the black soul spear ruthlessly shot forth, tearing through the void, and abruptly headed straight for Ye Xuan. The soul spear possessed extreme piercing power as if nothing could withstand it. It punctured the air with a "sizzle," sending sparks flying in all directions. As the soul spear charged directly toward him, a fragmentary imprint suddenly emerged in Ye Xuan’s mind. The Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, deep within his mind, unexpectedly revealed itself proactively, and on his forehead, a mark’s phantom suddenly appeared. As soon as the mark’s phantom appeared, the soul spear coincidently pierced through, crashing into the phantom with a resounding impact. Hiss... Suddenly, above the mark’s phantom, it violently twisted, until at last, before the shocked gazes of the crowd, it turned into a whirlpool the size of a fist. In an instant, the soul spear was firmly caught by the whirlpool, and then it was inch by inch swallowed up. "What?" At this moment, Elder Jingzhe’s face at last dramatically changed. He hastily released his soul power, controlling the soul spear, trying to retract it. However, his manipulation had no effect at all. The soul spear, as if stuck in a quagmire, was gradually swallowed up, ultimately completely devoured by the whirlpool. Pfft! As the soul spear was devoured, Elder Jingzhe suddenly vomited a mouthful of essence blood, his face pale, his entire persona considerably weakened, as if he had suffered a serious blow to his vitality. And after swallowing the soul spear, Ye Xuan distinctly felt a dense soul power spreading within his mind, slowly being digested. "How is this possible? What was that thing just now?" Elder Jingzhe’s face was ashen. His eyes appeared somewhat vacant. The connection between him and the soul spear he had released was severed. The latter had been entirely consumed by Ye Xuan. At that instant, he seemed to feel an incredibly terrifying soul pressure, a pressure so suffocating, seemingly impossible to resist. "Elder Jingzhe, are you alright?!" Witnessing this scene, the Demon Beast’s face drastically changed. He swiftly leaped to Elder Jingzhe’s side, hurriedly supporting him, speaking with some disbelief. He could sense that Elder Jingzhe’s power was even more frail than he had imagined! "Quick, let’s join forces to kill him! This lad’s spiritual talent is extremely high; if we can devour his bloodline, my soul cultivation will inevitably reach the peak of the Xuan Realm, perhaps even breaking through to the Heavenly Realm soul!" After a brief shock, a fierce light quickly replaced the look in Elder Jingzhe’s eyes. His true form was the Demon Beast Jingzhe, naturally adept at soul attacks. In his view, Ye Xuan certainly was some kind of beast with extremely high spiritual talent. If he could devour Ye Xuan’s bloodline, his lineage would be enhanced, and his soul cultivation would surely rise to the next level. "Good!" The Demon Beast’s eyes also burned with excitement. He too had a significant interest in Ye Xuan’s bloodline, and if he could get a share of it, his spiritual talent would no doubt also benefit greatly. "Join forces to kill me? I’m afraid you won’t have the chance." Ye Xuan sneered, once again stirring up his soul power. Accompanied by a tide-like surge of soul power, those tangible attacks seemed to form an astonishing blade light, slashing across the sky. "Soul Slash!" With a booming shout, the transparent blade light cleaved vertically, splitting the space in front of him into two. This move, Soul Slash, like the prior Soul Light Shield, was a Profound Level Soul Skill. And Soul Skills, similar to Martial Arts, only that Martial Arts use True Qi as the medium, yet Soul Skills use soul power as the medium. Between the two, there is no distinction of superiority; however, compared to Martial Arts, Soul Skills may lack some flashiness but are undoubtedly more enigmatic and hard to guard against. The Demon Beast blocked in front of Elder Jingzhe, holding his arms in front of his body. The transparent blade light sliced onto his arms, severing the Protective Demon Power with a hiss. The Demon Beast’s stature was imposing, like a towering iron tower. However, under this soul blade light, his body was visibly being pushed back at a pace visible to the naked eye. "Damn it!" Forced to retreat repeatedly, the Demon Beast was extremely annoyed, but helpless. He wanted to turn the tide too, but despite his full strength, he still couldn’t resist Ye Xuan’s soul blade light. At this moment, the severely injured Elder Jingzhe suddenly slapped his palm onto the Demon Beast’s back. At once, the latter’s retreat was finally halted, and the three opponents entered a fierce stand-off.
