116: Chapter 116 The Soul Devouring Palace Reappears

As soon as the words fell, an evil aura surged from the Cloaked Figure's body.

"This is... the Soul Devouring Hall!"

Zhang Wen felt the familiar evil aura and exclaimed.

"Hehehe, kid, it seems you know quite a lot!"

The Cloaked Figure let out a sharp laugh!

Mixed with Soul power, those with low cultivation nearby immediately clutched their heads and fell to the ground.

Those with higher cultivation were also struggling bitterly, but for Zhang Wen, it was a piece of cake.

After all, he had used too many treasures for enhancing the Soul, and their grades were not low either.

Therefore, facing this Soul power at this moment, he appeared at ease.

"Hehehe, kid, it seems you have some skills, but how will you deal with the next move?"

The Cloaked Figure laughed.

"Fuse, soul fiend!"

"Ding, detected a Soul Devouring Hall member fusing with a soul fiend. host, please proceed to kill them; reward: one special lucky draw opportunity!"

Looking at the terrifying aura before him, and then the task issued by the System, Zhang Wen said, "Sorry, you, today, might have to die!"

A ghostly light gushed out from the Cloaked Figure's seven orifices, tangling with the dissipating spiritual energy around his body to form a thick black mist, inside which countless tiny Soul shadows screamed as they burrowed into his body.

With every strand of Soul shadow that merged, the evil fiend energy around his body grew stronger, and his bones clicked as his figure grew half a foot taller.

The debris-covered cloak was puffed up like a sail by the blood-red spiritual energy, and the blood-red long saber in his hand condensed tiny Soul flames, leaving scorched trails wherever the blade cut through the air.

"Hehehe, kid!"

"The soul fiend power at the Peak of the Penetration Realm is enough to kill you three times!"

"I really want to know, what will you use to defeat me?"

While the Cloaked Figure (soul fiend) was still laughing, the sensible Zhang Wen had already made his move.

"Rushing Thunder Delusion Breaking Fist — Startling Thunder Arises!"

He threw a punch, mixed with the destructive aura of the Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder.

The Cloaked Figure (soul fiend) didn't react in time and was sent flying by the punch.

"Kid, you, you actually launched a sneak attack?!" the Cloaked Figure (soul fiend) said angrily.

"Don't you know that since ancient times, villains die from talking too much? I'm just giving you a reminder!" Zhang Wen scratched his ear and said.

"Yahaha! Kid, you've angered me!"

A large saber condensed from blood-red spiritual energy appeared in his hand.

Feeling the terrifying aura coming from the saber, Zhang Wen put away his contempt and cranked the sky-breaking thunder qilin armor to its maximum setting.

He gripped the air with his right hand, and the sky-splitting startling thunder spear appeared in his hand. To be safe, Zhang Wen added another layer: Indestructible Thunder Body.

"Hmm, this way, even if I get hit, I won't be heavily injured (╹◡╹)"

"Captain, you all need to leave here quickly. In a moment, I might not be able to look after you." Zhang Wen turned his head and said to Zhao Meng.

"Alright, you be careful too!" Zhao Meng warned. At the same time, he knew he couldn't help much, and only by quickly leaving with his teammates could Zhang Wen perform better.

"Zhang Wen, you must be careful!" Lin Muer warned worriedly!

Zhang Wen didn't respond, only revealing a confident smile.

The next second!

The Cloaked Figure (soul fiend) roared and slashed with his saber. The blood-red Saber Qi turned into an arc of light a zhang long, carving a deep trench even into the black stone cliff, with evil fiend energy steaming from the bottom of the trench.

Zhang Wen didn't dare to take it head-on. He activated "Tremor Step Treading Thunder Marks" with full force, his figure turning into an afterimage as he slid back five feet.

The Saber Qi grazed his shoulder, blasting the rock behind him into powder.

Before he could steady himself, the Cloaked Figure (soul fiend) had already closed in, the blood saber slashing horizontally toward his neck.

Zhang Wen hurriedly raised the sky-splitting startling thunder spear to block. A crisp "clang" shook his hand until it went numb.

The blood-red spiritual energy coiled along the spear shaft, actually trying to penetrate the defense of the Indestructible Thunder Body.

His eyes turned cold. He smashed his left arm against the spear shaft, and arcs of lightning exploded along the spear, burning the blood-red spiritual energy into blue smoke.

At the same time, he used the force to jump back, avoiding the kick the opponent threw.

The evil fiend energy wrapped around the sole of the shoe left black marks even on the ground.

"You dodge fast!"

The Cloaked Figure (soul fiend) sneered, suddenly spinning to swing his saber. Three blood-red Saber Qi attacks flew over in a triangular formation, sealing off all of Zhang Wen's escape routes.

Zhang Wen took a deep breath, pushing the lightning patterns of the thunder lin kai to their limit, and Lightning Radiance condensed into a shield at his shoulder guards.

At the same time, the spear tip traced an arc, and the lightning arcs condensed into four phantom images of Coiling Dragons.

"Myriad Thunders Coiling Dragon Break!"

The Coiling Dragons met the Saber Qi. The moment they collided, Lightning Radiance and black mist exploded. Amidst the splashing debris, both were shaken back three steps.

Just as Zhang Wen steadied his figure, he saw the Cloaked Figure (soul fiend) suddenly plunge the blood saber into the ground and form hand seals.

Black mist surged from the ground, turning into dozens of Soul claws that grabbed at his limbs.

"Want to trap me with Soul techniques?" Lightning Radiance erupted around Zhang Wen, and the Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder condensed into a light ring under his feet.

The Soul claws were scorched and dissipated as soon as they touched the Tribulation Thunder, but more Soul claws followed one after another.

Some even bypassed the light ring and grabbed at the weak points of his wounds.

He was forced to constantly move, the sky-splitting startling thunder spear dancing into spear flowers in front of him, the lightning arcs shredding one Soul claw after another.

But the Cloaked Figure (soul fiend)'s attacks became denser and denser. The blood saber suddenly flew up from the ground and was gripped in his hand.

The blood color on the blade deepened, and it actually hacked out a giant Saber Qi carrying Soul shadows, heading straight for Zhang Wen's face!

"Thunder Wrath: Instant Prison Kill!"

Zhang Wen stopped defending, his figure suddenly disappearing, and the next second he appeared on the left side of the Cloaked Figure (soul fiend).

The spear tip stabbed directly at his Dantian.

This was the weak point he had identified, but the Cloaked Figure (soul fiend) seemed to have anticipated it.

While dodging sideways, the blood saber slashed back toward his waist and abdomen.

Zhang Wen broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly retracted his spear to block. With a "clang," his whole body was sent flying, crashing into the cliff wall.

A salty, sweet taste surged in his throat, and a gash was cut into the waist and abdomen of the thunder lin kai by the Saber Qi, blood seeping out.

"Hahaha! I've also figured out your weak points!"

The Cloaked Figure (soul fiend) chased after him, laughing wildly, the blood saber slashing repeatedly, and the Saber Qi falling like a rainstorm.

Zhang Wen gritted his teeth and stood up, the sky-splitting startling thunder spear dancing airtightly. Lightning arcs and Saber Qi collided constantly, the roaring sounds echoing in the Black Wind Stockade.

His spiritual energy was being consumed extremely quickly, and the golden light of the Indestructible Thunder Body gradually dimmed.

But the Cloaked Figure (soul fiend) seemed tireless, constantly drawing soul fiend power from the surrounding remnant Souls, and his saber momentum became increasingly violent.

In a gap during a block, the blood saber suddenly changed from a slash to a thrust, stabbing straight at Zhang Wen's heart.

He hurriedly turned sideways, the blade grazing his ribs and bringing out a string of blood beads.

Taking advantage of the moment his old force was spent and new force hadn't yet arisen, the Cloaked Figure (soul fiend) condensed black mist in his left hand and slapped his chest!

"Pfft!"

Zhang Wen was slapped away, falling heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and the protective shield of the thunder lin kai also cracked with fine lines.

"Know the difference now?"

The Cloaked Figure (soul fiend) walked over slowly, the blood saber pointing at Zhang Wen's throat.
