Chapter 46 A Cunning and Intricately Interlocking Plot
After absorbing these hundreds of thousands of souls, the power of the Soul Emperor's fighting techniques increased several times over. The entire area within a hundred miles was shrouded in dark clouds, the sky and earth were darkened, and there were gusts of cold wind and howling ghosts, just like entering the eighteenth level of hell.
The fighting technique he used was not as offensive as the previous ones; it was more like a confinement-type technique. This technique had a very large range, and any enemy within this range would be attacked in various ways unless they broke through the technique and escaped the space it covered.
The original fighting technique was already extremely powerful, and now with the addition of these hundreds of thousands of soul bodies, its power has been further enhanced!
The vast sea of fire in the distance had been almost completely devoured by the Void Devouring Flame, and now, facing such a terrifying all-out attack from the Soul Emperor, it was naturally powerless to resist. As soon as the two touched, the raging flames in the sea of fire were extinguished by gusts of yin wind.
These eerie winds were no ordinary winds; they were gales, their power so immense that they felt like a long knife slowly slicing across the opponent's body. Furthermore, the ghostly howls and wailing could even affect the soul. Faced with this dual torment of soul and body, Tang Zhi was in agony, struggling to both circulate his battle qi to protect his body and hold his breath, desperately resisting the mental attacks.
Although Tang Zhi was a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, he had not cultivated any profound body-forging techniques. His mere high-level Earth-rank body-forging techniques could not withstand these gusts of wind for long, and were as thin as paper, easily torn by a light touch.
Despite being in such a harsh environment, he did not give up resisting. While struggling to defend himself, he used his fighting skills to try to break the spatial domain formed by the Soul Emperor's fighting skills.
However, he had already fought several battles before this, and was somewhat exhausted in all aspects. Now, fighting against the Soul Emperor, he was struggling to hold on. So how powerful could he possibly unleash his fighting techniques while he was desperately resisting? He unleashed several fighting techniques in succession, but in the end, they were all annihilated by the Soul Emperor's fighting techniques and turned into nothingness.
Looking around, the fighting techniques used by the Soul Emperor seemed to be largely unaffected, only slightly weakened in power, but still like hell for Tang Zhi at this moment.
Seeing all this, Tang Zhi gave a bitter smile. He had thought he would fail, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, as if there was a world of difference in strength between the two of them.
Soon, wound after wound appeared on his body, with bright red flesh exposed from the wounds, and drops of blood staining his body red. He was now a blood-soaked figure, and his aura was extremely weak. If this continued, even if the Soul Emperor and the other two did not intervene, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
But would the Soul Emperor and his companion not intervene? How could that be? They are not kind people, nor do they care about morality. If they don't act now, when will they?
Two more fighting techniques were launched at Tang Zhi. At this point, he didn't have much fighting energy left to squander. He also unleashed two fighting techniques. The techniques collided with each other, producing a series of booming sounds. Then, through the dust, they continued to strike Tang Zhi.
It was clear that Tang Zhi's fighting technique had been obliterated, while his opponent's technique still retained considerable power. Caught off guard, Tang Zhi was struck by the technique and sent flying thousands of meters away to a small hilltop. The immense force pierced through the entire hilltop, turning it into a small valley.
"Cough cough!" A sound came from the pile of rocks, where Tang Zhi lay, his hair disheveled, his clothes tattered, and his body covered in blood, looking extremely disheveled. He pushed aside the stones covering him and slowly walked towards Hun Tiandi and the other two.
Just when the two were only a thousand meters apart, he suddenly flashed across space and appeared in front of the Soul Emperor. A dagger made of strange fire appeared in his hand and stabbed towards the abdomen with lightning speed.
At this moment, a triumphant smile appeared on his pale, filthy face. However, just then, he suddenly found that his arm was being controlled and he couldn't move it at all. Seeing that the dagger was only an inch away from the Soul Emperor's body, he gritted his teeth, and the strange fire in his body surged out rapidly. On one hand, it burned the Soul Emperor who was holding his arm, and on the other hand, it enlarged the size of the dagger and stabbed it at him.
But before he could finish doing all this, he felt a tremendous force coming from his arm, and then he fell uncontrollably into the distance.
"Still trying to ambush me? I used the same tricks you had hundreds of years ago. But the strange fire within you is quite powerful. After I kill you, it will belong to my Soul Clan." The Soul Emperor touched his arm, which was burned by the strange fire, and said sarcastically.
Tang Zhi, who had been knocked away, smiled again. He used the force of the Soul Emperor to travel tens of thousands of meters away, and then a spatial wormhole slowly formed.
Clearly, all of this was part of his plan. He had long understood that it would be difficult for him to fight against the Soul Emperor and his companion with his own strength, and it would be even more difficult to leave under their noses. Therefore, this assassination was not his main objective, but rather he wanted to use this opportunity to travel to a distant place, open a spatial wormhole, and leave this place.
The time required to open a spatial wormhole varies depending on the strength of the person. For example, it may take several years for someone at the Dou Zun realm, several months for someone at the Ban Sheng realm, and only a few days for someone at the Dou Sheng realm. For someone like Tang Zhi, who is at the very top of the Dou Sheng realm, it only takes a few seconds to open a spatial wormhole.
In just a few seconds, he could create a spatial wormhole and escape. But even those few seconds were not given to him by the Soul Emperor. After discovering Tang Zhi's intention, he flashed in front of Tang Zhi and used his fighting technique to attack him.
However, Tang Zhi was faster than him. Before he could even make a move, Tang Zhi had already unleashed his fighting technique. Clearly, he was not unprepared; he had already begun preparing his technique the instant he left.
Faced with Tang Zhi's all-out attack, the Soul Emperor had no choice but to dodge.
His situation was no better than Tang Zhi's; if he were to take Tang Zhi's full-force attack head-on, he would either die or be crippled.
All of this seems slow, but it is actually done in an instant.
This is the real battlefield, where things change in an instant, and no one can guarantee that they will be the final winner until the very last moment!
