Book 11: The Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament
Chapter 73.1: Third Martial Soul? Necromancy?
Yuhao! Huo Yuhao had already disappeared without a trace by the time Wang Dong reacted. When he thought back to the exploding corpses from before, Wang Dong felt his mind blank out.
The scene had truly changed too quickly, such that no one had been able to react in time.
Elder Xuan abruptly flourished his large sleeve, and swept all the oncoming people away. Wang Dong, quickly, help the others. Ill save Huo Yuhao. As he spoke, Elder Xuan released his martial soul in front of the students for the first time ever.
Elder Xuans aged back suddenly arched upwards, and his oil-stained, tattered clothing immediately split open. The muscles on his back swelled up at shocking speed, and in the blink of an eye, he bulked up to at least twice his previous size. The strangest thing was that one long, screw-shaped horn also grew from either side of his head. In that moment that he released his martial soul, it seemed as though all the air in the cave wanted to freeze over.
Nine soul rings shone and ascended with a dazzling brilliance - two yellow, two purple, four black and one red. Elder Xuans messy bed of hair had turned completely light brown. He abruptly turned his head and looked towards those remaining bandits. An incomparably frightening aura that was like a raging storm suddenly surged towards them. In the blink of an eye, an explosion occurred once more, but this time around, instead of the corpses, the living exploded.
He stomped with his right foot, and a huge crevice suddenly opened up in the ground. Elder Xuan bent his majestic body down and dug into the ground at a shocking speed with large hands that were like palm-leaf fans. He disappeared into the ground without a trace in just the moment that it took to breathe.
The heavy fishy fumes made Huo Yuhao feel nauseous. He was really too unlucky. The reason why the envoy of the Death God had grabbed him was first, to get a hostage, and second, the more important reason, was because the position that Huo Yuhao had previously occupied was at the entrance to the tunnel. This was really a misfortune on his part.
A cold, threatening aura surged madly into Huo Yuhaos body from the entity in front of him. That icy feeling was completely different from his ice-attribute. This was cold, filled with evil intent, and accompanied by a horrible stench. That cold and dark feeling was like countless vipers boring their way into Huo Yuhaos body.
The Envoy of the Death God was running down the tunnel at a shocking speed. He continuously slapped the walls as he dashed madly ahead, detonating the explosives hed buried in them.
He had been able to lead the Hand of Death gang from the warping and winding Ming Dou Mountain Range, not only due to his ability as an evil soul master, but more importantly due to his cautious nature. This wasnt the first time hed encountered such a situation, but as long as he didnt die, it wouldnt take long before a brand new bandit group would rise up once more.
Huo Yuhao didnt resist. He was now in a far more dangerous situation than he had been before, but contrary to expectations, hed calmed down. This characteristic was unique to spirit-type soul masters. His mental strength far surpassed that of normal humans, so he could remain clear-headed more than a normal soul master could.
Huo Yuhao knew that the two white soul rings hed previously revealed mustve definitely fooled his opponents. Moreover, when the Envoy of the Death God had attacked, he hadnt shown any signs of resisting at all. But he really couldnt do so, having been caught off-guard. The enemy mustve really looked down on him, but that was fine, because this was his only chance to flee for his life.
