An incredibly solemn Divine Soul Aura suddenly soared from Huaa Wushuang, and then disappeared.
"Ye Zhen, do you really think that with your Divine Soul Cultivation, you can hurt me? Or perhaps, you think I, Huaa Wushuang, would stumble over the same stone twice?"
Perfectly intercepting Ye Zhen’s Soul Thorn, Huaa Wushuang casually faced Ye Zhen’s Wind Cloud Sword Technique, with a slight taunt curling at the corner of his mouth.
Ye Zhen smiled disconcertedly, a mysterious gleam flashing in his eyes. His Wind Cloud Sword Technique, brought nearly to perfection through cultivation, was driven to its extreme by Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen was not foolish. He was acutely aware of how terrifying Caiyi’s Divine Soul Power was. That Huaa Wushuang could withstand a Divine Soul Attack from Caiyi and not die definitely meant one thing—Huaa Wushuang’s Divine Soul Cultivation was not much weaker.
As for why Ye Zhen would bother launching that Soul Thorn without intending to injure Huaa Wushuang, it was simply to test the waters and ascertain Huaa Wushuang’s specific level of Divine Soul Cultivation.
"Divine Soul Second Stage!"
To be able to actively defend against a Divine Soul Attack using Divine Soul Power, one must at least be at the Divine Soul Second Stage of cultivation. However, Huaa Wushuang’s Divine Soul Cultivation was definitely not higher than the Divine Soul Third Stage, not stronger than Ye Zhen’s.
Because under the powerful perception of Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul, in the moment of intercepting that Soul Thorn, Huaa Wushuang’s Divine Soul exhibited a very slight tremor.
This slight tremor had virtually no effect on Huaa Wushuang’s battle, but it was enough for Ye Zhen to determine Huaa Wushuang’s level of Divine Soul Cultivation.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Taking advantage of the opening provided by his Silver Line Flash assault, Ye Zhen unleashed the Wind Sweeps Away Clouds technique from Wind Cloud Sword Technique eleven times in quick succession.
Above Ye Zhen’s head, a great expanse of Sword Clouds had also formed, ready to be unleashed.
"Ye Zhen, is this Sword Cloud your backup move?"
Huaa Wushuang sharply noticed the Sword Cloud accumulating more and more above Ye Zhen’s head.
"Just watch!"
Confidence, ineffable and unyielding, spread across Ye Zhen’s lips, that confidence making Huaa Wushuang somewhat uneasy.
Slightly bringing his palms together, a Butterfly Hand infused with Water and Fire Dual-colored Spiritual Power gracefully targeted Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen’s figure suddenly spun, drilling towards the Sword Cloud above, as his Profound Yang Sword pierced into the Sword Cloud like lightning. In an instant, Wind Cloud Sword Qi stirred.
The Sword Cloud collided, and Sword Light rained down; four beams of Sword Light, accompanied by a thin azure Thunder Light, descended from on high. Wherever the Sword Light passed, the air buzzed and trembled, startling distant onlookers!
Wind Cloud Sword Technique’s Wind Cloud Movement Across the Four Directions.
Ye Zhen raised his eyebrows, and the four beams of Sword Light, along with the crackling Thunder Light, hurtled towards Huaa Wushuang’s head, ignoring the Butterfly Hand.
"Thunder Light?"
Huaa Wushuang’s meticulously drawn eyebrows suddenly knotted together, and his face displayed a surge of anger.
"Ye Zhen, are you trying to anger me? Or do you think I have an innate fear of thunder?"
The onlookers were surprised at first, and then they understood.
Ye Zhen’s attack was indeed intriguing.
First came the Divine Soul Attack, then the Thunder of Sword Light.
Thus far in combat, Huaa Wushuang had only been severely injured twice, by a Divine Soul Attack and a Thunder Light Attack.
In Huaa Wushuang’s eyes, Ye Zhen’s use of these two tactics had a different implication altogether.
Beneath the stage, Mo Xinsui watched the Thunder Light emerge from nowhere at Ye Zhen’s command, her eyes shining suddenly.
She knew full well that Ye Zhen did not cultivate Thunder Spirit Power, yet he was able to conjure Thunder Light out of thin air. If she could learn this technique—
Yem Yuan, Bu Changtian, and Bai Xin, however, furrowed their brows slightly.
They did not see the Thunder Light; they saw the power of Ye Zhen’s move.
With the amplification from the Sword Cloud, Ye Zhen’s Sword Move reached a terrifying level of power.
"Think what you will..."
Ye Zhen, indifferent, flicked out a Floating Cloud Finger, causing Huaa Wushuang’s Butterfly Hands to disperse in disarray.
Below, Huaa Wushuang took no chances as he faced the Thunder of Sword Light from Ye Zhen.
The water-infused Vortex Scattering Hand transformed into a Fire Spirit Power vortex; on his palm, a thick layer of Fire Spirit Power condensed.
As the Fire Spirit Power vortex spun wildly, Ye Zhen’s Sword Wind Sword Force along with the four beams of Thunder Light were shredded bit by bit.
The Vortex Scattering Hand, while shredding the Wind Cloud Sword Qi and Thunder Light, steadily retreated. This was a characteristic of the Vortex Scattering Hand—layers of densely packed Spiritual Power Whirlpools combined with retreating made it extremely formidable in defense.
Three steps!
Some observant Martial Artists inwardly marveled in surprise.
When Huaa Wushuang received Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger, he had backed away no more than three and a half steps.
Above the stage, Butler Huaa, watching the fight unwaveringly, suddenly furrowed his brows. The rhythm of this combat... wasn’t looking good!
Since the beginning of the fight, for more than eighty percent of the time, their young master had been on the defensive. In other words, Ye Zhen was in control.
Just as the Vortex Scattering Hand shredded the last trace of Thunder Light, Huaa Wushuang’s palm vibrated peculiarly. The hand instantly reversed, a silent infusion of Water Spiritual Power turned the Vortex Scattering Hand into a terrifying Water and Fire Whirlpool Drill that roared towards Ye Zhen.
A Red Jade Seal suddenly flew out, its brilliance flashing brilliantly, immediately slowing the Whirlpool Drill’s speed.
The explosion of the Red Jade Seal instantly detonated the Water and Fire Whirlpool Drill, and the brilliance of the water and fire explosion swiftly engulfed Dragonhead Stage No.8 like ripples on water.
Looking across, the Dragonhead Stage No.8 was filled with bursting flames, which even obscured the figures of Ye Zhen and Huaa Wushuang.
Almost in the instant that the word ’explode’ was uttered, Ye Zhen’s expression immediately turned extremely cold and stern, because he knew the moment for the final showdown had arrived.
As the word "explode" left his lips, Ye Zhen’s hands, which had just condensed a Red Jade Seal, didn’t stop. On the contrary, they shifted with even greater speed, as if possessed by a leaping spirit, instantaneously weaving out countless hand seals.
Nearly at the instant that the previous Red Jade Seal burst, another crystal-clear Red Jade Seal emerged abruptly from Ye Zhen’s chest, followed by another, and yet another.
Three Red Jade Seals, side by side and floating in front of Ye Zhen’s chest, made his face suddenly flush with a deep red. At the same time, concentrating and controlling three Red Jade Seals was already the limit for him.
Like the sound of wind and thunder, the three Red Jade Seals each traced a bizarre trajectory and blasted towards Huaa Wushuang from three different directions.
Almost in the same moment the three Red Jade Seals were released, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense plunged sharply into the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
This time, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense didn’t enter the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Silver Line Demon Eagle King within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, but rather, it sank into the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Phantom Soul Beast King he had obtained not long before.
In an instant, a strange Divine Soul Wave combined with Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power. With a thought, an invisible Divine Soul Wave radiated forth towards the space in front of Ye Zhen.
Almost the moment it appeared, that invisible Divine Soul Wave enveloped Huaa Wushuang.
Below the stage, Caiyi’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened in shock, full of incredulity, "What is this? How is it possible?"
At the same time, the previously exploded brilliance gradually dissipated, revealing Huaa Wushuang under the glowing light. At this moment, Water and Fire Spiritual Power was crazily surging into the folding fan in his hands.
A terrifying aura was rising from Huaa Wushuang’s body.
However, upon seeing the three Red Jade Seals blasting towards him, Huaa Wushuang was startled.
Not just startled, at that instant, Huaa Wushuang even felt as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"How can this be...."
Huaa Wushuang’s eyes instantly bulged wide!
At least sixteen spinning Red Jade Seals streaked toward him at high speed from the top, left, front, and right - from each direction, at least four Red Jade Seals spun towards him.
"But these are Red Jade Seals...."
In that moment, Huaa Wushuang felt on the verge of collapse.
How could Ye Zhen possibly release so many Red Jade Seals at the same time?
This wasn’t about whether it was scientifically possible or not, but rather it was outright impossible.
Huaa Wushuang had endured Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Seals several times before, and although he managed to withstand them, their power was truly terrifying, definitely not weaker than several Upper-grade Earth Level Martial Skills of the Huaa Clan, and that was because Ye Zhen’s Cultivation was only at the Spirit Transformation Realm Second Stage.
If Ye Zhen’s Cultivation reached the Spirit Transformation Realm Fifth Stage, a single Red Jade Seal could perhaps severely injure him.
But even so, the Red Jade Seal cast by Ye Zhen at the Spirit Transformation Realm Second Stage made Huaa Wushuang extremely wary and troubled.
Just one Red Jade Seal was enough to give Huaa Wushuang a major headache, let alone sixteen?
Sixteen Red Jade Seals coming at him all at once wasn’t about life or death anymore, but rather, they could completely blast him, Huaa Wushuang, into nothingness.
In an instant, fear rose to Huaa Wushuang’s mind.
However, what Huaa Wushuang boasted about his mental fortitude hammered and refined through countless trials was just bluster.
Just as fear began to surface in his heart, Huaa Wushuang made a judgment.
Among these sixteen Red Jade Seals, most were illusions, perhaps only one or two were real.
Otherwise, if Ye Zhen could really launch sixteen Red Jade Seals at once, it wouldn’t just be invincible in the Spirit Transformation Realm, even a peak Martial Artist of the Soul Sea Realm would have to turn tail and run.
In a flash of thoughts, Huaa Wushuang’s Divine Soul Power burst forth like a geyser. He intended to use his Divine Soul Power to discern the reality of the sixteen Red Jade Seals and find out which one possessed the real lethal power.
But, it was too late.
After such an instant of delay, it was already too late; the sixteen Red Jade Seals had already slammed towards him in unison.
Moreover, even if it weren’t too late, Huaa Wushuang couldn’t possibly discern the reality of the sixteen Red Jade Seals in such a short time with his Divine Soul Power—he didn’t have the special ability like Ye Zhen’s Sword Heart Enlightenment.
The most important thing was, before Ye Zhen used the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Phantom Soul Beast King to stimulate the Phantom Soul Beast King’s talent for illusions, he had already probed with Soul Thorn.
Huaa Wushuang’s Divine Soul Power was not as strong as his!
Whether one could see through the illusion was extremely important in comparison to the strength of the caster’s Divine Soul Power.
If one’s Divine Soul Power is weaker than that of the caster and they don’t have a special ability like Sword Heart Enlightenment, the chances of seeing through the illusion in a short time are almost none.
If one’s Divine Soul Power is stronger than the caster’s, then it depends on how much stronger it is. If it is only slightly stronger, the chances of discerning the truth in a short time are also very slim.
The greater the difference in strength of the Divine Soul Power compared to the caster’s, the higher the probability of penetrating the illusion. If one’s Divine Soul Power reaches the level of Caiyi, then the illusion cast by Ye Zhen would be a joke.
But as for Huaa Wushuang’s Divine Soul Power compared to Ye Zhen’s... it was weaker!
Letting out a roar from the depths of his heart, Huaa Wushuang’s eyes widened in rage; Water and Fire Spiritual Power surged like mad onto his hands, forming one water, one fire—two Vortex Scattering Hands protected somewhat haphazardly over his head and chest.
Almost simultaneously, the sixteen Red Jade Seals blasted onto Huaa Wushuang like a barrage.
The moment the sixteen Red Jade Seals hit at the same time, endless fear emerged in Huaa Wushuang’s eyes.
The immense Spiritual Power Wave emitted by the closely approaching Red Jade Seals finally allowed him to discern which were illusions and which were real Red Jade Seals!
But... it was too late!
