28: Chapter 28 Crisis! Pursuers ahead, ambushes behind.

Everyone thought it would be an earth-shattering collision.

However, the next scene exceeded everyone's expectations.

The Soul Guidance Beam, powerful enough to melt steel, was like wet paper the moment it touched the purple lightning net.

"Sizzle!"

The lightning net tore a large hole right through the beam and continued forward unscathed.

What on earth is this?

He Caitou was completely stunned.

His attack couldn't even manage to slow it down?

Seeing the lightning net closing in, Huo Yuhao's expression changed, and he pushed his spiritual power to the limit.

"Second Soul Skill, Ice Empress's Protection!"

"Crackle, crackle..."

A half-meter-thick ice wall instantly condensed in front of everyone, covered in sharp ice spikes.

Wang Dong moved as well.

He didn't hesitate; countless golden light blades flew out from his butterfly wings, merging into the ice wall.

The ice wall was instantly dyed with a layer of sacred gold, its defensive power skyrocketing.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

"Boom—!"

The Purple Lightning Cage slammed violently into the golden ice wall.

Lightning flashed and ice shards flew everywhere.

Spiderweb-like cracks instantly covered the ice wall; Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both groaned, their faces turning somewhat pale.

It was blocked!

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection suddenly sent out a piercing alarm.

"Watch out on the left!"

"What?"

Bei Bei and the others instinctively turned their heads.

Su Chen's figure had appeared on the flank of their formation at some unknown time.

"I've found your weakness."

Before his voice faded, Su Chen's right hand was completely enveloped in purple-gold lightning. His fingers pressed together, transforming into a sharp dragon claw, heading straight for Xiao Xiao, the weakest defender in the team.

"Chaos Thunder Claw!"

This strike was both fast and fierce, a piercing tearing sound echoing through the air.

"Not good!"

"Xiao Xiao, look out!"

Although Huo Yuhao gave an early warning, Su Chen's speed was simply too fast—so fast they had no time to organize an effective defense.

Xiao Xiao's face turned deathly pale. She had just raised the Nine Phoenix Presence Flute in her hand when the thunder claw was already within reach.

In that split second, she could only rely on instinct to violently twist her body to the side.

"Rip—!"

Her robes were torn open by the sharp claws, and a burning pain shot through her shoulder.

A domineering surge of thunder energy forced its way into her body, making her blood churn and her Soul Power instantly become chaotic.

"Stop! Don't hurt her!"

Seeing Xiao Xiao in danger, Bei Bei was completely enraged.

As the captain, he could not tolerate his teammates being injured in front of him.

With a roar of anger, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit on his body was pushed to its limit. Dragon scales erupted across his entire right arm, and violent blue lightning crackled and popped.

He lunged forward, charging toward Su Chen like an arrow released from a bow, carrying the momentum of ten thousand tons of thunder.

"First Spirit Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Facing Bei Bei's enraged strike, Su Chen didn't even bother to move.

He even smiled.

In the next second, purple lightning violently exploded from Su Chen's body.

But his lightning was completely different from Bei Bei's blue lightning; within that purple, there was also a trace of the Power of the Five Elements.

"Boom!"

Purple-black lightning soared into the sky, condensing into a several-dozen-meter-long phantom of a thunder dragon behind him.

A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire field.

"Thunder Dragon's Rage!"

Su Chen simply pushed a palm forward.

The Chaos Thunder Dragon phantom behind him opened its massive maw.

A pillar of lightning, several times thicker than before, blasted toward Bei Bei.

"Bang—!"

A dull, heavy thud.

Bei Bei only felt an irresistible surge of Chaos thunder energy frantically pouring into his body through his arm.

"Crack, crack..."

The dragon scales on his arm shattered inch by inch.

The Soul Power inside his body was churned into a mess, and his meridians felt like they were being pricked by needles.

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's thunder power, which he was so proud of, was as fragile as paper before this purple lightning, suppressed instantly.

The next second.

Bei Bei was forcibly blown back seven or eight meters, landing hard on his backside.

He looked at his arm; it was completely numb.

Purple electric arcs still lingered on the dragon scales of his arm, sending waves of stinging pain.

Bei Bei looked on in disbelief.

"Both are lightning, so how can the gap be this large?"

...

On the other side.

Seeing Bei Bei knocked down in a single move, the team's main defender, Xu Sanshi, couldn't sit still anymore.

If this continued, their team would definitely be wiped out here today.

"Hmph, I'll give it everything I've got!"

Xu Sanshi roared, fully activating his Mysterious Underworld Turtle Spirit.

A thick layer of black tortoise shell instantly covered his body, and his entire frame grew larger, like a mobile fortress.

His Second Soul Skill, "Mysterious Underworld Shield Array," and third spirit skill, "Power of Xuanwu," were both activated at once.

"Hum—!"

Xu Sanshi kicked off the ground, causing it to tremble, and he transformed into a heavy chariot, slamming toward Su Chen.

He put all his strength into this collision, wanting to use his strongest defense to stall Su Chen.

However, as Su Chen watched the charging Xu Sanshi, a playful glint flashed in his eyes.

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot—your courage is commendable!"

He didn't even move from his spot; he simply raised his right hand.

This time, what condensed in his hand was no longer purple-gold lightning, but a mass of pure golden Soul Power.

This was the metal-element power evolved from the Chaos Qi.

"Golden Gange Meridian Lock!"

Su Chen made a grasping motion toward Xu Sanshi in the air.

Several incredibly sharp golden chains appeared out of thin air, instantly binding Xu Sanshi's limbs and tortoise shell.

"Eh? What the hell?"

Xu Sanshi was bewildered as his momentum came to a sudden halt.

In the next second, he was forcibly yanked to a stop in mid-air by the golden chains.

The golden chains tightened, leaving glaring scratches on his proud Mysterious Underworld Tortoise Shell.

"Damn it, let me go!"

Xu Sanshi's face turned red as he desperately pushed his Soul Power to struggle.

But he soon discovered that these golden chains also carried wisps of thunder energy, which continuously seeped into his body and numbed his meridians.

The harder he struggled, the more numb his body became, and his movements grew increasingly sluggish.

Ultimately, like a tied-up rice dumpling, he was firmly trapped in place, unable to move.

Another one!

Seeing Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi subdued one after another, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong looked at each other, both seeing the determination in the other's eyes.

They couldn't hold back anymore.

Both of them shouted at the same time:

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Wither in the Brilliance, Golden Road!"

As soon as the words were spoken.

An ultimate ice-blue chill surged from Huo Yuhao, while a brilliant golden light power erupted from Wang Dong.

The two powers intertwined perfectly in the air.

In the next second, a wide road appeared out of thin air beneath their feet, extending wildly toward Su Chen.

The "Golden Road" was paved with golden light feathers and crystalline ice, dazzling to the eye.

Wherever it passed, not a blade of grass remained!

Even the domineering pressure of the thunder dragon on Su Chen was weakened by a few degrees.

"Now's the chance!"

He Caitou, who had been unable to find an opening, had his eyes light up.

Now!

The Soul Guidance Battery on his shoulder instantly opened fire with full power.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three cigar-shaped Homing Missiles soared into the sky, trailing orange-red exhaust flames as they curved through the air, precisely locking onto Su Chen's back.

The Golden Road crushed from the front, while Homing Missiles launched a sneak attack from behind.

Pursuers in front, a blockade behind.

An inescapable net was instantly formed.
