"Hmph."
Catching a glimpse of Chaotianxiang's actions out of the corner of her eye, "Tang Sui" snorted softly. The fox eyes of the black and gold patterned fox mask flickered with black and red light. The entire mask twisted in mid-air and instantly appeared in Chaotianxiang's attack trajectory. To her widened eyes, it charged straight at her!
"Pfft—!"
Struck hard by the mask, Chaotianxiang's snake staff, its outer layer of condensed energy, shattered into countless energy particles under the impact of the fox mask and dissipated into the air. The woman herself, like a kite with a broken string, smashed through a large tree, her back hitting a second thick tree as she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Clearly, the overconfident Chaotianxiang suffered the same fate as Meng Shu, who had been confident in his strength and thought he didn't need to be on guard against a young girl!
"Grandma! Grandpa!"
Never having experienced such a drastic reversal in a fight, Meng Yiran's arrogant and charming expression vanished completely, replaced by a look of bewilderment.
How could this be?
Grandpa was a Soul Douluo over level eighty!
This childish little girl was only a Soul Master at level thirty-something!
The counterattack was swift, like a whirlwind, sweeping away all of Meng Yiran's confidence and pride, leaving only confusion and shock.
But she quickly reacted, wanting to rush to help her grandparents.
Despite being shocked that Tang Sui could actually suppress two powerful Soul Masters, one over level eighty and one over level sixty, Zhao Wuji, who was vigilantly watching Meng Yiran's movements, took a step forward and blocked her path.
"Let me pass!"
"Forget it, little girl. This battle is not something you can get involved in." Zhao Wuji certainly would not let her through.
At this critical juncture, he still sided with his own kin.
Or rather, he would let the Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma wear down this little girl's energy first, and when the time was right, he would swoop in to finish the job.
Zhao Wuji, with his own little secret, chuckled inwardly, but outwardly blocked Meng Yiran more sternly, preventing her from going to their aid.
Even with the strong after-effects of using his seventh Soul Skill, he was still a Soul Saint over level seventy! Even half-crippled, he could still stop a level thirty novice Soul Master who hadn't even acquired a Soul Ring!
"You, you all!"
Anger welled up in Meng Yiran. Xiao Wu and the others glared at her menacingly. The pressure of being outnumbered bore down on her. She bit her lip fiercely, clutched her snake staff, and struggled to suppress the urge to rush forward, remaining rooted to the spot with great difficulty.
Grandpa... Grandma...
"Old woman! Are you alright?" Chaotianxiang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, endured the pain that felt like her internal organs were shifting, and called out to Meng Shu, who was being restrained in mid-air by black mist.
Her voice carried a trace of spiritual power and Soul Power.
Meng Shu, who had been secretly glared into a nightmare by the ape mask, snapped back to attention. His eyes blazed with ferocity, and a surge of powerful Soul Power erupted from his body, shattering the black mist that bound his limbs into ashes. He leaped into the air and landed behind.
"Wife, I'm fine." Meng Shu looked at "Tang Sui," who was suspended in mid-air, with a grave expression. Coincidentally, the other party was also looking at Meng Shu's expression at leisure, the curve of her lips widening slightly.
Meng Shu's heart burned with anger. His fifth pitch-black Soul Ring, which encircled his body, began to glow. He raised his hand, and the Dragon Staff, which had fallen into the black mist, flew back to its owner. Black waves of energy erupted from him in concentric circles, causing Chaotianxiang's pupils to contract.
The old man is going to...
"Fifth Soul Skill, Dragon Roams Nine Heavens!"
He swung the Dragon Staff, and the black waves of energy shimmered with inner light, like a dragon egg in incubation. A sharp-angled, entirely black golden dragon phantom could be seen swimming within. The next moment, Meng Shu raised it forcefully, aiming it towards "Tang Sui." The black waves of energy exploded layer upon layer.
The "egg shell" that held the golden dragon made cracking sounds. The golden dragon, breaking free from the "egg shell," expanded into a five-meter-long golden dragon the moment it flew out. It opened its sharp dragon claws, tearing the surrounding black mist to shreds, and ferociously charged towards "Tang Sui," letting out a roar infused with spiritual pressure.
"Yin—!"
The curve of "Tang Sui's" lips remained unchanged. Her dark, deep eyes reflected the charging golden dragon. The two masks that had been floating on either side of her suddenly lit up. The ape mask opened its mouth, spitting out black and red demonic energy that condensed into a powerful barrier. The fox mask twisted in mid-air and disappeared from its spot, reappearing the next moment above the golden dragon that was colliding with the barrier. It struck heavily down on the dragon's spine!
"Bang—!"
The small mask landed precisely on the dragon's spine. The Dragon Staff in Meng Shu's hand almost fell. But he held firm, continuing to channel Soul Power into the staff. The golden dragon, entangled with the barrier and biting at it, twisted its head and lunged towards the fox mask.
The fox mask flickered in the void, disappearing from the dragon's mouth and reappearing beside "Tang Sui," clearly recalled by her.
Now!
A cold glint appeared in Meng Shu's eyes. He opened his five fingers, and a spark flashed in the eyes of the plain black dragon head of the Dragon Staff, supported by Soul Power. The next instant, Meng Shu's fingers tightened abruptly. "Tang Sui," who was entangled with the golden dragon, sensed something and suddenly flew backward, but it was too late.
"Yin—!"
