Chapter 117.1: Xiao Hongchen's Three-Legged Golden Toad
Chen Fei moved with lightning speed as a ball of bright golden light blasted towards Ma Xiaotao with undeniable accuracy. His movements were blindingly quick, and he even left an afterimage in his wake.
Ma Xiaotao grunted coldly. She wasnt the kind that liked to kill people, but wouldnt hesitate if it was required. Red light flashed in her eyes, and a Phoenix Fireline poured out and clashed with the sphere of golden light rocketing through the air.
What was strange was that there wasnt any violent explosion or anything like that. The light circle expanded instantly after being triggered, and transformed into an enormous golden net that bore down on Ma Xiaotao.
She had already suffered a loss under trap-type soul tools such as this, and she had been on guard this whole time. She watched the various red-eyed members of the Sun Moon Empires camp as she tapped on the floor with the tips of her feet and immediately flew backwards. Two streaks of red light spurted out from beneath her as she surged into the distance. However, she wasnt retreating without a plan in mind, and she flew towards the position where Xu Sanshi had just been sent flying.
Their battle continued to rage. On the other side, Xiao Hongchen faced the Shrek teams siege as well.
Xiao Hongchen had relied on his auto-activated advanced invincible barrier to block Ma Rulongs strike within the lightning cage, but the protective barrier that flickered with golden light had been greatly weakened.
The protective layer of golden light on his body was called the Impregnable Wall, and it was a Class 6 soul tool. This soul tool had to be activated by a soul masters own soul power, or maintained through a continual injection of soul power.
The reasons why invincible barriers were so precious was because their defensive capabilities were sufficiently powerful, and also because they could be activated with a fixed amount of soul power. Afterwards, the special jewel contained within the soul tool would provide enough energy to maintain the protective barrier for three seconds, and it would have the defensive power of an eight-ringed soul douluo. The only problem was that it was a disposable item, and thus was a little wasteful and extravagant by nature.
However, the Impregnable Wall on Xiao Hongchens body was far more advanced. Its defensive powers were slightly inferior to invincible barriers, but it was just enough to fend off attacks from Class 7 soul tools. Furthermore, it wasnt a disposable item. This soul tool had two salient features: it could be used repeatedly, and it could automatically activate itself. That meant that if Xiao Hongchen came under attack and wasnt able to react, the Impregnable Wall would deploy its mechanisms automatically, which made it a lot more useful than the Invincible Barrier.
Of course, there were pros and cons to everything the problem was that the Impregnable Wall absorbed Xiao Hongchens soul power automatically after activating itself in order to provide protection.
Ma Rulongs golden Class 7 soul tool was only a single attack, but it possessed formidable destructive powers. The Impregnable Wall did block the strike, but, as he was a Soul King, Xiao Hongchens soul power was immediately consumed by more than fifty percent, which caused his expression to change to one of immense fear.
Furthermore, as long as that cage called the Net of Lightning was around, the members of Shreks team were not the only ones caught inside he was trapped within as well.
