Soul Land—Chapter 48: Useless Brother
To Huo Wu's surprise, Ling Qianyao did not choose to pursue but instead kept retreating, handing over the kills that could have been collected to her.
"Don't get me wrong, I have a dream of being an auxiliary soul master. I'm not good at killing, so let me fish, and you and Zhuqing will decide the winner."
"You!"
Huo Wu's eyes widened, anger and confusion intertwined on her face.
She had just saved Huo Wushuang and was about to compete with Ling Qianyao, but she didn't expect Ling Qianyao to say this.
"Are you insulting us?" Huo Wu gritted her teeth and glared at Ling Qianyao, the fire in her eyes seemed to turn Ling Qianyao's contempt into ashes.
"No, it's just that Zhuqing and I agreed that my role in this game is indeed auxiliary. You should be careful," Ling Qianyao said lightly, with no ripples in his eyes.
"Assist? I believed your lies!" Huo Wushuang grinned and cursed in his heart.
"Swish——"
The sound of breaking through the air whistled past the ears of Huo Wu, who reacted quickly. She glared at Ling Qianyao, carried Huo Wushuang, and retreated a few steps away from the dangerous sword energy range.
"Brother, how are you?" she asked anxiously.
"Cough," he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt~~ (trembling) He hit me very accurately, hitting my back covered with scales. He was holding back, and I still have about 30% of my soul power."
"Okay." Huo Wu looked at the two giant sword shadows in the sky and then looked at the seven sword auras faintly lingering on the Star Breaking Sword in Ling Qianyao's hand, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.
She didn't understand why Ling Qianyao could ignore her Blazing Prison. If Ling Qianyao could be trapped in the Blazing Prison, even if they were slowed down and their status was degraded, as long as the attack hit, the result would not be as one-sided as it is now.
Even more, why Ling Qianyao's soul skills are so comprehensive: gain, debuff, and powerful attacks, he has them all!
"Hmph, agile attack soul masters are naturally restrained by my control soul masters. Don't be too arrogant!"
Huo Wushuang had come behind Huo Wu without knowing when, and put a hand on her shoulder. His soul power seemed to condense into substance and kept gathering towards Huo Wu.
"Second soul skill - Hell Hundred Claws!"
"Third soul skill - Defying Flame Ring!"
Huo Wu shouted angrily, and the red soul power surged out of her body, forming a circle of three-meter-high circular fire ring, which spread to the surroundings and instantly spread to Zhu Zhuqing.
The fire ring had a strong repulsive force, which shook away all the debris around it, and the heat wave rolled.
As long as the opponent's attack skills are not higher than her soul power level by ten, it can ignore any skills and defenses, and all skills within the range of the fire ring will be temporarily expelled.
Taking advantage of the moment when Zhu Zhuqing was bounced away by the resistance fire ring, Huo Wu and the other two approached Zhu Zhuqing in an instant, and two sharp attacks struck Zhu Zhuqing at the same time.
"Bang——"
The two's attacks accurately hit Zhu Zhuqing's original position, but only stirred up a cloud of dust and empty echoes.
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang were stunned, and then their faces changed drastically because they found that Zhu Zhuqing's figure had disappeared from the spot.
"No, it's an illusion!" Huo Wu reacted suddenly. She looked around but saw only three starlight illusions flashing in the firelight, each of which was difficult to distinguish from Zhu Zhuqing's body.
"The third soul skill - Star Shadow Phantom Kill!" Zhu Zhuqing's voice sounded in the ears of Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, with a hint of sneer.
In the moment of resisting the spread of the fire ring, Zhu Zhuqing used her third soul skill to differentiate into three phantoms, and her main body took the opportunity to hide.
"First soul skill - flaming vortex!" Huo Wu anxiously mobilized the little remaining soul power in her body.
"Heh, sorry."
In Huo Wu's suddenly contracted pupils, Zhu Zhuqing's attack this time was not affected by the vortex.
The three starlight phantoms released the soul skill Hell Hundred Claws at the same time, and the superimposed star eclipse effect caused the flames around them to appear as a momentary vacuum!
Zhu Zhuqing passed through the flames but was not affected at all.
"What kind of soul skill is this?" Huo Wu widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
She had never seen such a strange soul skill that could devour the energy of the flame, and the star eclipse effect seemed to have some kind of corrosive power, which made their body-protection soul power feel a tingling pain.
When Zhu Zhuqing approached, Huo Wushuang sent out his last wave, giving all his soul power to Huo Wu, and he fell.
Huo Wu's eyes flashed with determination, and she directly controlled her martial soul to choose to explode.
"Ah——!" Huo Wu let out a deafening roar, and the soul power in her body surged out like a flood, and the flames soared into the air and spread around.
Zhu Zhuqing and her three phantom clones faced the flames and stretched out their claws to Huo Wu.
"Puff——"
Huo Wu flew backward, and on the way out, she didn't know if it was a coincidence, her feet kicked Huo Wushuang's head, knocking him dizzy.
The flames and the star curtain on the ring disappeared at the same time, and the fighting arena erupted with an unprecedented roar. The audience exclaimed one after another, shocked by the sudden reversal and fierce confrontation.
Huo Wu fell heavily to the ground, and smoke and dust rose, her hair was messy, and her face was full of traces of sweat and dust, but her eyes were burning with unwilling anger.
She struggled to get up but found that her soul power was almost exhausted, and she didn't even have the strength to stand.
"The winner is Qingyao Phantom!" The referee announced the result.
"Damn it!"
She punched the ground.
"Do you need help?" Ling Qianyao slowly walked to her side, holding the Star Breaking Sword in his arms and looking at Huo Wu.
"Hmph! No need!" Huo Wu gritted her teeth and turned her head away, "Just wait, sooner or later I will defeat you!"
Ling Qianyao thought about the fire immunity he got after the ice and fire alchemy body and shook his head, it will probably be difficult for you in this life.
He sent out several soul powers from his fingertips and tapped several acupuncture points on Huo Wu.
"Hmm?" Huo Wu frowned slightly, she suddenly felt that the soul power recovery speed in her body had become much faster.
"Pah--"
Zhu Zhuqing took the collar behind Huo Wushuang's neck and put him beside Huo Wu, "He is so annoying, he keeps shouting to see you."
"Sister, where is my sister, ah, are you okay?" Huo Wushuang asked anxiously.
"Nothing."
"Huh, good, thank you for your mercy." He said to Ling Qianyao and the others with emotion.
"Brother!" Huo Wu felt her cheeks flushed. After recovering a little, she jumped up and took Huo Wushuang by the collar, looking at Ling Qianyao and the others, "Wait, I will avenge my previous shame, soon!"
"It's so embarrassing, useless brother!" She imitated Zhu Zhuqing's movements and dragged Huo Wushuang away.
