"Kill!"
With Cheng Xiao's command, fifteen soul beasts charged furiously towards the three.
Fear flashed in the eyes of the two servants, but they gritted their teeth and bravely went to meet them.
This kind of terrifying soul bone skill would consume an astonishing amount of soul power and couldn't last long. With that kid's level 20 soul power, he could only last for ten breaths at most.
"Kill that kid first!"
Capture the leader first. No matter how long this kid could last, as long as he was killed, these strange soul beasts would definitely disappear!
[Sixth Soul Skill - Flying Scythe Slaughter!]
[Fifth Soul Skill - Raging Tiger Tears the Sky!]
Both of them used their strongest soul skills. One wielded a black giant scythe, while the other had a fierce-looking tiger appear on his body, attaching itself to him. His figure suddenly grew taller, his muscles bulged, and his face became ferocious. His fingernails also suddenly became sharp, exuding a murderous aura.
The giant scythe cleaved down, and the white tiger tore through the air towards Cheng Xiao. A terrifying surge of soul power instantly swept across the sky, the air hissing in its wake, blocking all of Cheng Xiao's escape routes.
Cheng Xiao slowly raised his head, a smile playing on his lips, as a massive figure instantly shielded him.
The two terrifying attacks, landing on the massive figure, surprisingly caused little damage. Its thick fur emitted a brilliant light, enduring the attacks with its own strength.
Wounds appeared on the figure's body; if it were an ordinary soul beast, it would surely be covered in blood.
But now, as a shadow, injuries were little more than a tickle to them.
Even death no longer posed a threat; their endless resurrection had given them a ferocity they never possessed in their previous lives.
"A Terrorclaw Bear?!"
The two men's pupils constricted, instantly recognizing the shadowy figure.
Their gazes shifted to another charging giant bear, a bad premonition rising in their hearts.
"Quick, dodge!"
The elder, with his greater experience, sensed something amiss and immediately retreated.
[Fourth Soul Skill - Sacred Tiger Barrier!]
The young man, however, was a step too late. Seeing the bear about to strike him with its paw, he immediately used his soul skill to block the attack.
His fourth soul skill was enough to withstand the attack of a thousand-year-old soul beast; this paw was enough to withstand it!
However, to his surprise, while the bear's paw force couldn't shatter his defense, the instant it struck, his entire arm instantly transformed into a moist crystal, which continued to spread throughout his body, invading him.
"A Crystal Bear?! It's a Crystal Bear!"
The young man was filled with shock and anger. Seeing the crystal about to engulf his shoulder, he made a ruthless decision and severed his entire left arm.
"Pfft—"
An arm that had crystallized shot into the sky, spraying a massive amount of blood from its shoulder. The young man hurriedly clutched his wound, the intense pain causing his face to tremble uncontrollably.
Fortunately, he managed to stop the crystallization.
"Zhu Lie, watch out!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and the young man's expression changed drastically. Before he could dodge, a sharp spike pierced through his chest.
"Pfft—"
He slowly lowered his head, his eyes filled with disbelief. A stinger from a Heartbreaker wasp extended from his chest, the poison instantly numbing his nerves. His eyes widened, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to his knees, lifeless.
Even in death, he couldn't close his eyes, filled with shock and disbelief.
"Zhu Lie!"
The elder's eyes widened in horror.

"I'll kill you!"
The old man pounced on Cheng Xiao like a madman, unleashing all six of his soul skills without holding back. His speed, defense, and attack power were all instantly boosted to their maximum, creating an overwhelming momentum.
"Get out of the way!"
A group of shadow soul beasts surged forward, trying to stop him, but in his rage, the old man didn't care about the consumption of his soul power, pouring out all his attacks recklessly.
Under the full power of a Soul Emperor, the numerous shadow soul beasts were powerless to resist, and were instantly torn to pieces.
Only a Terrorclaw Bear remained to block Cheng Xiao's path.
"Roar!"
Seeing the crystal bear torn apart, the Terrorclaw Bear was enraged, its sharp claws tearing through the air as it fiercely ripped at its opponent.
However, humans are ultimately smarter than soul beasts. The old man feinted, his figure transforming into a flock of black crows and disappearing under the Terrorclaw Bear's claws, while his true form bypassed the Terrorclaw Bear's massive body from the other side and appeared behind Cheng Xiao.
"Die, you little bastard!"
The old man's face was contorted with rage as he raised his massive black scythe and brought it down on Cheng Xiao's head.
Cheng Xiao's expression remained unchanged. His soul power surged, and two soul rings suddenly rose from beneath his feet, one yellow and one purple. As they pulsed up and down, the purple ring suddenly burst forth with intense light.
"A thousand-year soul ring?! No, impossible!" The old man's pupils dilated, and his heart trembled. A crazy and absurd thought sprouted from the depths of his mind.
[Second Soul Skill - Shadow Prison]
The instant Cheng Xiao's second soul ring lit up, the shadow beneath his feet suddenly erupted, rising like a giant net, enveloping Cheng Xiao completely, protecting him like a black sphere.
This was Cheng Xiao's second soul skill, a defensive soul skill called Shadow Prison. Unless a Soul Master unleashed their full power, it would be extremely difficult to destroy it.
Suppressing his shock and doubt, the old man chuckled sinisterly. So what if it's a thousand-year soul ring? He's still just a Great Soul Master, isn't he? Can he withstand my soul skill?
Immediately, the old man unleashed his fifth soul skill, causing a burst of black light to erupt from the entire giant scythe. Enveloped in this light, the scythe blade seemed to grow even sharper.
"Boom!"
The black scythe collided violently with the shadow sphere, instantly creating countless cracks on its surface.
"Crack, crack..."
After a mere moment of stalemate, the cracks rapidly spread, and finally, the Shadow Prison couldn't withstand the pressure and shattered.
"It's done!" the old man exclaimed joyfully. "Die!"
However, the next instant, his smile froze on his face. The moment the Shadow Prison shattered, an intensely dense shadow erupted from within, and Cheng Xiao had vanished.
The viscous shadow, like a viscous liquid, splattered onto the old man, instantly draining the light from his eyes, leaving them dull and lifeless like the pupils of a blind man.
This was another effect of the Shadow Prison: upon breaking, it stripped the breaker of their sight!
"Dinosaur! Kill him!"
Cheng Xiao's voice rang out. The Dinosaur swung its claw down, its sharp, blade-like claw piercing straight through the old man's body.
The old man could see nothing more, only hear that youthful yet murderous voice. The next instant, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, then plunged into endless darkness.
I'm going to miss it, I'm going to miss it.
Two thousand words left, I'll add them tomorrow, I really will. I promise. Waaaaah
