It was Ji Yuming who seemed to realize something. "Gu," he exclaimed, "your Spirit Beast... it can—"
SWOOSH!
A blur of motion flashed, and Pang Hu leaped onto Yang Yidong's head. With a SMACK, its chubby paw lashed out and struck him. The blow dazed Yang Yidong, and at the same instant, the anomalous energy cluster Gu Zheng had been trying to contain was stimulated by an unseen force. It instantly detached from the brain, peeled away from the Divine Soul, and shot out of Yang Yidong to hover in the void.
"How is this possible?!"
A hoarse, shrill cry emerged from the energy cluster, which was constantly twisting and shifting between light and dark.
"It's that old bastard!"
Ji Yuming's eyes flashed. The moment the words left his mouth, a strand of Sword Qi tore through the void, pierced the air, and struck the energy cluster.
PFFT!
The twisting, surging energy cluster shattered on the spot and rapidly dissipated, letting out a faint, enraged shriek as it vanished.
