719. Powerful Malevolent Spirit
On the Soul Palace's side, six Dou Zun experts, who were already prepared, simultaneously unleashed varying degrees of dark Dou Qi. Strands of pitch-black chains shot out from behind them or from their sleeves like living things, eventually merging into a giant net of soul chains covering half the entrance to the valley. With lightning speed, it suddenly enveloped the most restless human scorpion!
As the human-scorpion unleashed a powerful surge of fighting spirit, the battle here began to erupt.
The six figures from the Soul Palace moved in perfect unison, occupying key nodes in the formation. They did not seek to achieve any merit, but only to keep the Scorpion firmly bound in place!
The Black Intent Venerable took a step forward, appearing as if teleported in front of the Scorpion with the strongest aura. He drew an arcane pattern with his hands in front of him, and the vast, dark battle qi transformed into a huge, phantom-like ghost face, tearing at the Scorpion as it tried to devour it.
A sinister smile appeared on Scorpion's withered face, and beams of fighting spirit shot out, shattering the swollen ghost face that was braving the wind.
Both of them are at the peak of the Dou Zun realm, just one step away from becoming a half-saint, and neither of them is at a disadvantage in a fight for the time being.
On the other side, the Soul Commissioner transformed into a ghostly, twisted wisp of black smoke, his target the earth scorpion whose claws emitted a green glow. The Soul Commissioner's lips still held that cold smile as he enveloped the earth scorpion.
The earth scorpion roared, its withered claws suddenly extending. Its gray-green, highly poisonous battle aura, like a tangible venomous dragon, carried a stench that corroded bones and gnawed at the soul. It condensed into several deadly Yin-poisonous claw beams, powerful enough to pierce through mountains, and fiercely stabbed towards the oncoming black smoke.
Boom!
After a simple collision, the ground scorpion was sent flying backward.
Earth Scorpion was horrified. His strength was indeed somewhat inferior to that of the Soul Committee Venerable before him, but he never expected that the Soul Committee's fighting style would be so reckless. He actually started by exchanging injuries for injuries from the very beginning. With just the first hard clash, the immense force that disregarded the cost made his blood and qi surge.
"I have come for the treasure today, and all of you must die!" A whisper, like a death knell, rang in the earth scorpion's ears.
"Don't even think about it!" Earth Scorpion also unleashed his battle qi without regard for the cost, clearly knowing that there was no possibility of a peaceful end to today's battle.
However, the earth scorpion's seemingly vicious attacks were all easily intercepted by the surging dark energy surrounding Hun Wei. At the same time, one after another illusory soul entities appeared on Hun Wei's body. These soul entities were far paler than the souls left after a person's body is destroyed.
"The people of the Soul Palace only know how to toy with these souls all day long, it's disgusting!" Earth Scorpion cursed upon seeing this scene.
"It's not over yet..."
Then, as if in response to the call of the Soul Committee, a soul entity with an even colder and more powerful aura suddenly appeared, its strength no less than that of the Earth Scorpion!
Sensing this soul entity, the earth scorpion exclaimed in terror, "How is this possible? How could you possibly obtain such a soul entity?"
The Soul Lord did not answer the Earth Scorpion's question. Instead, he flipped his hand, revealing a strange black flag, about an inch long, that shimmered with a dark luster.
Without the slightest hesitation, Hunwei gripped the black flagpole tightly in his palm, the sharp pole instantly slicing several deep, bone-revealing gashes into his hand.
"Hehehe..."
At the same time, he suddenly opened his mouth, and a large amount of thick, ink-black mist gushed out. The mist spread everywhere, eventually obscuring all the space between him and the earth scorpion.
The Earth Scorpion was trapped in this thick, eerie black mist, feeling a chilling coldness all over his body. Even his soul perception became incredibly sluggish, as if he were sinking into a quagmire. Then, he saw a terrifying scene with his naked eyes: countless unconscious souls, their eyes now flashing with a blood-red, eerie light, were fixed on him with extremely greedy, vicious, and lustful gazes.
The aura of those soul entities was enhanced once again, and the most powerful one even made the Earth Scorpion sense an extremely dangerous situation.
"Swallow him!" With a command from the Soul Commissioner deep within the black mist, all the souls surged out.
This time, for the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map, the Soul Committee has gambled everything. These souls are the result of his painstaking collection and cultivation over the years, which have turned them into extremely terrifying vengeful ghosts. He forcibly strengthened these souls at the cost of his own efforts, and afterwards, both he and these souls will suffer severe damage.
The most powerful of these evil spirits was possessed by a high-ranking member of the Soul Palace. When it was delivered to him, the Soul Palace repeatedly instructed that it should only be used when encountering someone from the Flame Clan! But now the Soul Committee couldn't care less about those things. As long as the Soul Jade was satisfied in the end, the high-ranking members of the Soul Palace would definitely not be so petty about a soul entity anymore.
But the effect is immediate!
Accompanied by chilling sounds of soul-devouring, the Earth Scorpion only lasted a few dozen breaths before its protective battle aura was torn apart like paper. The ferocious spirit, enhanced by its essence blood, was powerful enough to rival a half-saint for a short time.
"Aaaaaah—!" A heart-wrenching scream echoed from the black mist.
"Big brother! Third brother! Save me!!" The earth scorpion's voice was filled with despair and fear.
Both the Scorpion and the Human Scorpion knew the situation was extremely critical. However, their opponent was no easy opponent either, and now that they were locked in a fierce battle, it was exceptionally troublesome. In desperation, the two could only exert all their remaining strength, risking taking a blow from their opponent, and barely managed to throw several pillars of battle energy and claw shadows towards the black mist.
However, all these attacks were intercepted by the most powerful soul entity within the dense black mist. He was no longer conscious and therefore felt no pain.
Within the black mist, two forces churned continuously, and ultimately, the aura belonging to the earth scorpion, like his screams, grew increasingly weak.
"Damn it!" Sensing something was wrong, the scorpion, bleeding profusely, disregarded its own injuries and burned its life essence to forcefully break free from the damned chains.
Just as he was preparing to go all out, the Soul Commissioner, who had been dealing with the Earth Scorpion in the black mist, appeared behind him without warning, like a ghost.
Seeing this, the other six Soul Hall Venerables immediately took action, dozens of black chains binding the human-scorpion. The human-scorpion was now as if trapped in a spiderweb, its movements becoming sluggish.
The Soul Committee Venerable gathered astonishing power, and his palm, gleaming with a dark golden luster, fell precisely!
The target is the skull of the human scorpion!
