277: Fighting side by side again!

“I never thought I’d fight alongside you again!”

Li Sisi’s gaze shifted to Xia Fan as he arrived, and she offered a slight smile.

She had initially believed she would have to fight Evil Soul to the death today, but after being ambushed by Evil Soul just now, she felt her strength waning and was even contemplating a mutual destruction.

Unexpectedly, Xia Fan descended like a god, appearing beside her.

Now seeing Xia Fan again, Li Sisi seemed to regard him as a friend—the kind of good friend who had experienced life and death together.

Hearing this, Xia Fan smiled calmly. Seeing that she was mostly unharmed, only weakened from overexertion, he understood that their battle had not yet been decided. “This Lord wondered who was fighting this Evil Soul. It turns out it was you.”

“Before I came…”

Xia Fan and Li Sisi actually chatted for a few moments, seemingly not putting Evil Soul in their eyes at all.

“Stop reminiscing!”

Evil Soul saw them talking and laughing as if no one else was around, felt ignored, and immediately spoke with great displeasure, “If you want to reminisce, go do it in the underworld!”

“Today, none of you will escape!”

He was a powerful being who had existed for countless years. Although now he was merely a soul with greatly diminished power, his former pride remained, and he would not tolerate being ignored.

In particular, Xia Fan’s unintentional display of contempt infuriated him even more.

“Audacious Evil Soul!”

Black Dragon King, observing the situation and seeing that Xia Fan had no immediate intention of attacking, immediately acted with borrowed prestige, roaring at Evil Soul, “How dare you disrespect the Great King? Are you in a hurry to be reborn?”

“The Great King doesn’t even need to act to deal with you!”

He grew more excited as he spoke, “Why don’t you scram already?”

Upon hearing this, Evil Soul was first stunned, then became even more enraged and embarrassed, immediately cursing, “What are you?!”

“A mere scruffy dragon dares to yell in front of This Lord? You’re infuriating me!”

He felt that the anger he was experiencing today was almost equivalent to all the anger he had felt in his entire life. After all, these three individuals, one after another, ignored and humiliated him, causing his fury to intensify. He wished he could just crush them to death!

“Little mongrel, This Lord will kill you first!”

As his voice fell, Evil Soul suddenly condensed a large amount of black mist, heading straight for Black Dragon King!

He was truly enraged this time, thus his moves were exceptionally ruthless, using almost all his power, just to obliterate Black Dragon King with a single blow to vent his anger!

Rumble!

The next second, a massive energy fluctuation surged in all directions.

Evil Soul lifted his eyelids, saw Xia Fan blocking in front of Black Dragon King with a calm expression, and roared again, “Junior tiger demon, are you looking for death too?”

“Good, This Lord will grant your wish!”

“Overestimating yourself!”

Xia Fan scoffed, easily forcing Evil Soul back. As he raised his giant claw, surging dark clouds gathered, with constant thunder and powerful auras continuously erupting.

“Fall!”

As he lightly shouted, several bolts of heavenly lightning struck directly, hitting Evil Soul.

However, the latter, at the moment of impact, transformed back into a ball of black mist, evading the attack completely unharmed.

Evil Soul refused to be outdone, suddenly condensing several clones from the black mist, all attacking simultaneously.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

In the blink of an eye, these Evil Soul clones were shattered, turning into wisps of green smoke and disappearing instantly.

Xia Fan had already sensed Evil Soul’s strength, but he still had no intention of going all out.

He opened his mouth and exhaled, a blast of frost carrying extreme coldness shot out, causing Evil Soul to shiver uncontrollably.

But Evil Soul, after all, possessed genuine abilities, and thus easily dodged these attacks.

Seizing the moment before Xia Fan’s next attack arrived, he suddenly conjured a gust of 陰風 (yin wind), causing continuous wails to echo around. Within the swirling dark clouds, countless vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts seemed to roar, attempting to drag everyone in.

Divine Firmament Lightning Technique!

The next instant, Xia Fan consecutively unleashed dozens of heavenly lightning bolts, shattering the surrounding dark clouds, while roaring aloud. A purple energy pillar shot straight into the sky.

Within the dark clouds, Evil Soul was startled, not expecting Xia Fan to discover his true location so quickly.

However, he still dodged this attack, and with a flick of his hand, condensed a ball of pitch-black dense fog, throwing it heavily.

Rumble—

The black mist exploded in front of Xia Fan, seemingly filled with countless sharp blades that clanged against his body, while a large amount of mist emerged.

Evil Soul stared intently at Xia Fan, growing increasingly surprised, “This junior tiger demon has grown so quickly!”

He still remembered that when they first met, Xia Fan was so scared that he fled in a panic, but now he could withstand his attacks head-on.

As the surrounding mist dissipated, Xia Fan’s unharmed body reappeared in everyone’s sight.

After several exchanges, the two sides were surprisingly evenly matched.

“Tiger King, I’ll help you!”

Li Sisi knew she couldn’t just watch. She immediately raised her Sky Purification Sword and slashed towards Evil Soul.

Clang—

That sharp sword qi erupted in an instant.

Evil Soul repeated his old trick, using black mist to block the attack, but the next second, he saw the Tiger King’s massive body rapidly approaching.

He immediately let out a cold snort, “Good, good, good. This Lord wants to see how strong you two can be when you join forces!”

“You provide support from the side, I’ll fight him!”

Xia Fan sensed the waning strength in Li Sisi’s sword qi. After giving an order, he directly confronted Evil Soul from the front, and then saw clusters of dark clouds gathering at his position.

Crackling!

In an instant, the power of Summoning Wind and Rain took effect, causing a dramatic change in the local weather.

Evil Soul felt as if he was in a cage on all sides, and he couldn’t clearly see Xia Fan or Li Sisi.

“Pfft—”

Suddenly, Evil Soul felt a chill down his back. Looking down, he saw a sword tip piercing his lower back, and immediately roared in fury, “How dare you!”

Li Sisi never lingered in battle. After successfully ambushing, she retreated, which drew a cheer from Xia Fan, “Well done!”

“Find another opportunity to wound him!”

Now, with Xia Fan facing the enemy head-on and Li Sisi ambushing from the side, it wasn’t long before Evil Soul sustained several wounds. Furthermore, the Sky Purification Sword’s ability to dispel dark power made Evil Soul extremely wary!

Seeing that he would be defeated by their combined efforts if this continued, Evil Soul finally roared, “You forced This Lord to do this!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Suddenly, a large amount of black gas permeated Evil Soul’s entire body, almost instantly constructing a dark world.

This sudden change enveloped them all before Xia Fan and Li Sisi could even react.

In the sky, Xia Fan stared at this dark world, finding it somewhat familiar. After a moment of recollection, he realized it was the same as the one used by Evil Lord who had possessed Marquis Ling Tian in Western Tibet.

Immediately, he sneered, “This move won’t work!”

Xia Fan directly unleashed the Great Devouring Realm. The terrifying devouring black hole grew at a visible speed, rapidly devouring the dark power of this world.

“How is that possible?”

Evil Soul was instantly dumbfounded.
