Chapter 254: A Casual Rescue
"Shui Bing'er, it looks like you're in trouble."
Hearing this familiar voice, Shui Bing'er shuddered. It was... it was him!
"Who is this? You're playing tricks! Do you dare to come out and fight?"
The elder of the Elephant Armor Sect, standing opposite Shui Bing'er, suddenly looked around, trying to detect the newcomer.
Suddenly, someone from the Elephant Armor Sect exclaimed, "Elder, look! There's someone in the sky!"
Hearing this, the elder looked up and saw a figure perched atop a strange giant bird.
The bird vanished from view, reappearing at Shui Bing'er's side.
"Mo Hui, it's really you!"
Seeing Mo Hui, Shui Bing'er's face lit up with surprise. With Mo Hui around, their lives were at least safe.
Mo Hui smiled faintly and said, "Long time no see. I didn't expect you'd run into something like this just now."
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er's eyes flickered with embarrassment. It had been so long since they'd met, and now she needed someone's help to solve a problem. It certainly wouldn't sound good to say it out loud.
As for Mo Hui's inability to defeat the Soul Sage before her, Shui Bing'er didn't even consider it.
Back when Mo Hui was at the Soul King level, he could easily defeat Yao Mei, a Soul Emperor. Now, defeating a Soul Sage would be nothing.
Moreover, after five years, even she had already reached level 64. With Mo Hui's speed, his advancement would only be faster; he might even be a Soul Sage by now.
"Beep!"
Pidgeot also greeted Shui Bing'er.
"What a swift pace!"
Meanwhile, the Elephant Armor Sect elder, upon witnessing Mo Hui's speed, was startled.
He hadn't even seen how Mo Hui had reached the girl's side. This level of speed surpassed any other powerful being he'd ever encountered. Was the person before Mo Hui a Titled Douluo?
The Elephant Armor Sect elder's hair stood on end at the thought, and he slowly moved his disciples to his front.
However, his subtle movements naturally escaped Mo Hui's notice. Mo Hui pointed at the Elephant Armor Sect members and asked Shui Bing'er, "What are you going to do with these people?"
Shui Bing'er also noticed the Elephant Armor Sect elder slowly retreating. After a moment's hesitation, her eyes darkened and she said, "Kill them all if possible!"
These people were not only preparing to attack them, but they also knew they had obtained Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. If they were allowed to escape, she and Xue Wu would face endless trouble.
Mo Hui could protect them once, but not forever!
Hearing this, Mo Hui nodded, and with a gentle wave of his right hand, a multi-meter-long green wind blade emanated from his hand.
Instantly, the Elephant Armor Sect members passed through like a long green line, pausing for a moment before being split in two.
Even the frost-covered trees nearly a hundred meters in front of Mo Hui fell to the ground, leaving only mirror-smooth cuts, as if they had been cut with a knife.
"Hiss~"
Seeing this scene, Shui Bing'er immediately gasped.
Although she had long suspected Mo Hui's strength, she hadn't imagined he was so formidable, killing the renowned defensive Soul Saint Elder of the Elephant Armor Sect with a single wind blade.
"Alright, that's all taken care of. Keep the Soul Bone you obtained safe. Although your strength qualifies you for a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, it's better to avoid trouble than to worry. You know, some Titled Douluo don't even have one!"
After dispatching the Elephant Armor Sect members, Mo Hui addressed Shui Bing'er.
Shui Bing'er was currently at level 64, and Xue Wu was also absorbing her sixth Soul Ring, which would also make her a Soul Emperor.
At their current levels, their Soul Fusion abilities would likely rival Soul Douluo levels. This level of strength would be considered a high-tier combat power on the Douluo Continent.
After all, many first-tier factions only have one Soul Douluo.
As for Titled Douluo? That's a privilege reserved for top-tier factions!
There were only a few Titled Douluo in the public eye: three from the Spirit Hall, two from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Sect, two from the Clear Sky Sect, one from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, one from the Poison Douluo, and that was it…
Even including those reclusive old figures, people only knew there were no more than twenty. Titled Douluo were that rare.
"I understand. Thank you, Mo Hui. If it weren't for you, we would have been in great danger today,"
Shui Bing'er said, looking at Mo Hui gratefully.
If Mo Hui hadn't come today, their fate would have been almost predictable. Even if she had been willing to leave Xue Wu behind, she wouldn't have been able to escape, as her soul bone was in her body.
"It's just a piece of cake. If it weren't for the special circumstances, you could have solved today's crisis by yourselves."
As he spoke, Mo Hui looked around curiously and said, "By the way, why do you come here to hunt souls by yourselves? Where are the dean and teachers of Tianshui College?"
Logically speaking, as the best students of Tianshui College, Tianshui'er and Xuewu should not have found it difficult to ask the college's teachers to hunt souls even after they graduated. If there had been a Soul Sage by their side today, they would not have faced the dilemma they just faced.
After hearing Mo Hui's words, Shui Bing'er's expression suddenly grew serious. She said, "For some reason, the Spirit Hall has been acting quite aggressively lately. They've repeatedly invited Tianshui Academy to join them, but the dean and the others have gone to deal with them, leaving us two to hunt souls alone."
At this point, Shui Bing'er sighed and said, "I originally thought that with Xuewu and I's strength, we could protect ourselves in this Sunset Forest even if we encountered a fifty- or sixty-thousand-year-old spirit beast. I overlooked Xuewu's time absorbing her spirit ring."
"Spirit Hall?"
Hearing this, Mo Hui stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Had the Spirit Hall, or rather Bibi Dong, finally begun to take action?
This was within Mo Hui's expectations. If it were him, he would also be anxious as he watched his enemy grow at an incredible rate while he remained practically stagnant.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er looked at Mo Hui's profile and asked curiously, "Mo Hui, can you answer me a question? What is your current Soul Power level?
Judging from how you just easily killed the Soul Sage of the Elephant Armor Sect, you don't seem to be an ordinary Soul Sage, right?"
It had only been a little over five years since the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition. Considering the difficulty of upgrading after Soul King, it would normally be an overestimation for Mo Hui to reach Soul Sage.
However, Mo Hui's level clearly couldn't be predicted by common sense. Who knew? Mo Hui's level might actually exceed her expectations.
