Chapter 39: Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop, Xiao Wu Captured
"Second Soul Skill, Charm!"
The instant Paragon Golden Body failed, a burst of pink light suddenly ignited in Ah Rou's eyes, and she stared straight at Yue Guan.
At the same time, Xiao Wu's pink rabbit eyes also lit up, and she unleashed Charm upon Gui Mei.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei's movements came to an abrupt halt. Their gazes turned dull, as if their souls had been ripped away, and they stood frozen in place, motionless.
Neither Ah Rou nor Xiao Wu wasted this precious opportunity.
The figures of the mother and daughter vanished from where they stood simultaneously, using Teleportation to appear before Yue Guan and Gui Mei, respectively.
Xiao Wu kicked out with a rabbit-like leg, striking Gui Mei in the waist.
This move appeared simple, yet it unleashed her immense Soul Power, accumulated over nearly a hundred thousand years, to its limit.
Crack—
A crisp sound of breaking bones rang out as Gui Mei had two of his ribs shattered by the kick.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a snapped string. He slammed into a tree in the distance, rebounded off the trunk, and crashed heavily to the ground.
The intense pain brought Gui Mei back to his senses instantly.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Because Ah Rou's mental force was weaker than Xiao Wu's current level, Yue Guan quickly broke free from the control of Charm.
However, just as he recovered from his daze, a slender leg appeared before his eyes.
"Sixth Martial Soul Skill, Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop!"
Bang!
Ah Rou delivered a whip kick, sending Yue Guan flying into the air.
Ah Rou's assault was far from over.
Her figure flickered continuously in the air. Every time she appeared, she landed precisely beside Yue Guan, strike after strike.
Seven kicks landed in succession, each one striking Yue Guan solidly, kicking him higher and higher.
The final eighth throw.
Ah Rou flipped in mid-air, her waist twisting at an incredible angle.
Gathering all her strength into this single kick, she slammed a whip kick into Yue Guan's chest.
With a dull thud, Yue Guan's body plummeted rapidly from the sky.
Bang—!
Yue Guan smashed heavily into the ground, creating a crater.
"Xiao Wu, let's go!" Ah Rou landed and urged urgently.
They turned to flee.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
From the crater in the ground, Yue Guan's figure suddenly flew up.
He looked rather disheveled, his clothes covered in dirt and dead leaves, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but he was not seriously injured.
This was because the gap between Ah Rou's Soul Power and his was too great.
A flame of rage ignited in Yue Guan's eyes; he had clearly been infuriated by the Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop just now.
"Seventh Martial Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!" His voice suddenly rose, sounding somewhat shrill.
The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum suddenly expanded, its petals blooming in layers and spinning rapidly in the air.
Following this, his fifth Soul Ring lit up.
"Fifth Martial Soul Skill, Gathering of the Cold Blossoms!"
Countless petals flew around Yue Guan. He spun in the air and raised his right hand high.
In an instant, the petals filling the sky gathered toward his palm, eventually condensing into a sharp blade.
Yue Guan gripped the blade, locked his gaze on Ah Rou, and swung his arm violently.
The blade tore through the air, trailing a purple-gold streak, moving with astonishing speed.
Seeing the blade drawing closer, Ah Rou's face turned deathly pale.
She had not expected that her full-force Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop would fail to cause significant damage to the enemy.
Having released Martial Soul Abilities continuously, combined with the erosion of that strange power and poison within her body, she had little Soul Power left.
But she had no other choice; she released Paragon Golden Body once more.
Ding—
The blade struck the golden body, emitting a crisp metallic clang. Sparks flew, but it could not advance an inch.
"Eighth Martial Soul Skill, Flowing Light of Ten Thousand Rays!"
Seizing the moment Ah Rou's golden body faded, Yue Guan released his Eighth Martial Soul Skill again, firing several thick golden beams of light at her.
Ah Rou had no time to release a defensive Soul skills, as Yue Guan had seized the perfect moment.
Just then.
Xiao Wu's figure appeared instantly, blocking in front of Ah Rou and releasing Paragon Golden Body.
The several thick beams were completely blocked by the golden rabbit.
At this moment, Gui Mei in the distance struggled to stand up.
With blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, his broken ribs caused him piercing pain with every breath.
Enduring the intense pain, he prepared to strike again.
"Seventh Martial Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar." Gui Mei's voice was hoarse.
"Fifth Martial Soul Skill, Ghost Shadow Earth Pool Hand!"
Dozens of giant, pitch-black ghost hands suddenly reached out from the ground beneath the mother and daughter.
Under the augmentation of Martial Soul Avatar, the power of these ghost hands far exceeded before.
Watching the ghost hands surging from all directions, Ah Rou looked up at Xiao Wu, who was shrouded in golden light in mid-air, and her heart sank.
Although Paragon Golden Body's defensive power was peerless, the user could not move a single inch while it was active.
If the golden body dissipated, Xiao Wu would certainly be captured by these ghost hands. Given their current injuries and condition, once captured, there would be no possibility of escape.
Ah Rou gritted her teeth, channeling all the remaining Soul Power in her body to erect a pink Soul Power barrier around herself.
The barrier had just formed when the first ghost hand grabbed down.
The barrier trembled violently, and cracks spread from the point of impact like a spiderweb.
Ah Rou's face turned paler, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
Her Soul Power level was already inferior to Gui Mei's, and now she was at the end of her rope; she had no idea how long this barrier could hold.
Soon, the second ghost hand followed and grabbed down.
The Soul Power barrier shattered with a bang, like fragile glass.
Just at this moment, the effect of Xiao Wu's Paragon Golden Body was about to fade.
A ghost hand was raised high, aimed at Xiao Wu, ready to strike.
"Xiao Wu, dodge!" Ah Rou screamed, her voice filled with despair.
Xiao Wu's golden body completely dissipated. Before she could react, the ghost hand, poised and ready, thrust out and clamped onto her body like an iron pincer.
Xiao Wu cried out in pain, her entire body gripped so tightly by the ghost hand that she couldn't move.
Almost at the same moment, Yue Guan's third Soul Ring lit up.
"Third Martial Soul Skill, Breath Barrier!"
Countless golden petals flew out from around him, tracing graceful arcs in the air.
In the blink of an eye, an airtight barrier of flowers was constructed around Ah Rou.
The petals spun and fluttered, layering over one another, isolating Ah Rou, who wanted to rush over to save her daughter.
Blocked by the barrier, Ah Rou tried to break through, but every petal was as sharp as a knife, slicing her body until she was covered in blood.
"Xiao Wu!"
Through the gaps in the petals, she watched helplessly as a black ghost shadow instantly appeared before Xiao Wu.
Gui Mei emerged from the ghost shadow, reached out a large hand, and seized Xiao Wu, who was bound by the ghost hand.
Xiao Wu struggled desperately, but in her current state, she was completely unable to resist.
"Old Ghost, well done!"
Seeing Xiao Wu captured, Yue Guan's face immediately lit up with joy.
He retracted the barrier and landed on the ground. Together with Gui Mei, they formed a pincer attack, surrounding Ah Rou in the middle.
