278: Fighting against the air?

"This... isn't this the power of Qiongqi?"

After sensing the aura within the Great Devouring Realm, Evil Soul's eyes widened in astonishment.

Actually, logically speaking, Qiongqi's status among the Demon Race was extremely high; otherwise, Qiongqi would not have actively gone to Western Tibet in the first place, only to fail in the end.

Evil Soul, of course, knew what this power represented, but what he hadn't expected was that the junior tiger demon he encountered back then still harbored such terrifying trump cards.

In an instant, Evil Soul panicked!

After all, the power Xia Fan displayed was now extremely effective in restraining his Great Dark Heaven Realm, and it was an innate suppression that made him very uncomfortable.

"How can you wield such power?"

In Evil Soul's opinion, a fellow like Xia Fan, judging from his previous methods and aura, couldn't possibly possess Qiongqi's power, yet he had managed to do so.

This caused a hint of fear to rise in his heart.

Seeing Xia Fan not answer, but instead making the Great Devouring Realm grow even larger, Evil Soul's heart also began to panic. While quickly retracting the Great Dark Heaven Realm, he secretly thought, "No, I must quickly withdraw this technique!"

"Otherwise, if this continues, all my power will be devoured!"

"Hehehe, too late."

Xia Fan, being inside the Great Dark Heaven Realm, naturally understood the changes occurring within it.

Seeing that Evil Soul wasn't using this dark world to fight him, but was instead moving on his own, he immediately understood the other party's thoughts: "You no longer wish to maintain the Great Dark Heaven Realm."

"However... since This Lord is here, do you have the right to make that decision?"

Buzz—

As he continued to urge it, the power of the Great Devouring Realm grew more and more vast, and the black hole it manifested became larger and larger, almost devouring more black energy every second.

Looking around, the power within the Great Dark Heaven Realm was rapidly dissipating, and as time passed, numerous cracks appeared all around this dark world.

"Crack! Crack!"

Suddenly, the Great Dark Heaven Realm shattered, and a large amount of black energy scattered wildly, no longer under control. Sunlight also shone down from all directions, restoring the world to normal.

Evil Soul was greatly alarmed by this. He hadn't even had time to withdraw the Great Dark Heaven Realm before its energy was absorbed, causing it to shatter.

Immediately, the look in his eyes towards Xia Fan became increasingly wary.

"Damn it!"

"How did it turn out like this?"

At this moment, Evil Soul cursed endlessly in his heart!

He knew in his heart that if the Great Dark Heaven continued to function, it would continuously weaken the enemy's power and increase his own strength.

Just now, he had used this very intention, casting the Great Dark Heaven Realm, preparing to kill Xia Fan.

But this idea was destroyed almost instantly.

At this moment, Evil Soul's heart was a flurry of anxiety, and his entire aura continuously declined due to the Great Dark Heaven Realm being broken. After all, if this move had no effect, he would have paid a huge price without harming the enemy in the slightest.

Both Li Sisi and Xia Fan clearly felt that Evil Soul had significantly weakened.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

While Evil Soul cursed incessantly, a hint of fear arose in his heart: "This tiger is truly extraordinary in origin. It seems I cannot contend with him today!"

"If I drag this on, I'm afraid I'll perish here!"

With this thought, Evil Soul directly transformed into a cloud of black mist, moving at extreme speed in the opposite direction of Xia Fan's group, actually attempting to escape.

"Tiger King, chase!"

Li Sisi was the first to react, chasing after him while loudly shouting, "Don't let him escape, otherwise... otherwise, there will be widespread suffering."

However, Xia Fan remained in place at this moment.

He looked in the direction Evil Soul fled and quietly activated the Immortal Art — Nightmare.

In an instant, a mysterious aura spread wildly around, soon enveloping Evil Soul, who, however, continued to flee.

Xia Fan knew in his heart that this was the best time to unleash the Immortal Art Nightmare, as Evil Soul's mind was unstable!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In the sky, a black mist fled frantically, moving as fast as possible, and in no time, it had escaped a hundred miles away.

Evil Soul ran this far in one breath, and worried that those behind him were still in hot pursuit, so he looked back.

At this moment, he was surprised to find that the tiger had not pursued him at all, and even the human Sword Immortal seemed to have given up the chase, now remaining in place, looking somewhat at a loss.

"Not chasing?"

Evil Soul breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart grew even more furious, "Hmph!"

"When This Lord has devoured the power of others, I will come back to settle scores with you!"

"Today, I'll let you off the hook!"

"Whoosh—"

But in the next second, Xia Fan suddenly appeared behind him, startling him directly: "How did you appear here?"

Rumble—

He instinctively launched a black palm print, but found that Xia Fan easily dissolved all of them. The latter even looked at him with an incredibly relaxed expression, filled with intense disdain.

"You're going too far!"

Evil Soul roared, almost frantically using various methods, but no matter what attack, Xia Fan could easily parry it.

Gradually, Evil Soul began to pant.

"My King, why aren't you chasing?"

Black Dragon King had already prepared to help with the pursuit, but seeing Xia Fan motionless, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "If you don't chase, that guy will escape!"

As he spoke, he looked in the direction Evil Lord had fled, still wanting to prove himself right, but the next moment he was confused.

In his line of sight, Evil Soul, for some unknown reason, was randomly attacking in place, cursing loudly, creating a great commotion.

Black Dragon King smacked his lips in astonishment at this scene: "This guy seems to be fighting someone, but... there's only air around him. Could there be a powerful expert stealthily preparing to attack him?"

"Tiger King's Nightmare Immortal Art is becoming more and more formidable!"

Beside him, Li Sisi watched this scene with bright eyes, sighing inwardly.

She had originally intended to pursue, but after seeing Xia Fan make a move, she directly gave up. Now, she admired Xia Fan's methods greatly: "This way, our Great Xia can handle more things..."

Currently, Evil Soul was frantically fighting Xia Fan in the illusion created by Nightmare, but found that he could not kill the opponent no matter what. Moreover, Xia Fan had become much stronger, almost completely on a different level than him.

Meanwhile, Li Sisi and Xia Fan were recovering their energy at this spot.

The two sides, one still and one moving, the gap between them grew wider and wider.

Li Sisi watched for a while and couldn't help but think, "By the time Evil Soul gets tired from fighting, the Tiger King and I will still be in peak condition."

"At that time, what will Evil Soul have left to fight us with?" (End of Chapter)
