Chapter 19 The Art of Explosion
"What? Thinking of playing the hero and rescuing the damsel in distress?"
Bibi Dong perceived significantly more information than Huo Yuhao. In her perception, two female soul masters were being chased by a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
One of the Soul Masters was a Soul King, while the other was only a Great Soul Master. The creature chasing them was merely a Soul Beast that was over ten thousand years old. However, the Soul King-level Soul Master was seriously injured, which was why he was unable to deal with the ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast.
Bibi Dong roughly assessed that the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast was just about equal to Huo Yuhao.
"Teacher, I'm going now..."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, then used his soul power to quickly head towards the direction from which the sounds of fighting were coming...
——
With a loud "bang," a black figure rushed over and crashed into a female Soul Master dressed in white.
The terrifying impact force came instantly, sending the female soul master flying a great distance, breaking several trees in the process. Finally, the female soul master collapsed weakly to the ground.
"Aunt Wu! Are you alright?"
A small figure suddenly emerged from the bushes, took off running to the woman, and spread its arms to block her way.
"You stinky big cat, you're not allowed to hurt Aunt Wu!"
Although the little girl's voice trembled, she still stood firmly in front of Aunt Wu, preventing the black leopard in front of her from getting close.
"Bing'er, didn't I tell you to hide? Why are you out again? Run! Don't worry about me!"
Seeing Shui Bing'er blocking her way, Wu Nan felt her eyes widen in fury. She struggled desperately to get up from the ground, but she had no strength left.
She originally brought Shui Yue'er with her to hunt for the first spirit ring. She thought it would be very safe on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, so she brought Shui Bing'er along as well.
But to his utter surprise, just as he was hunting down a soul beast, he was ambushed by the ten-thousand-year-old bloodthirsty demon leopard!
The Bloodthirsty Demon Leopard is an extremely brutal soul beast that will hunt and kill almost any creature it sees, and its methods are extremely cruel. Even when it is not hungry, it will take pleasure in killing other creatures.
Wu Nan's abdomen was instantly ripped open by the Bloodthirsty Demon Leopard's claws, and several of his ribs were broken. However, fortunately, he possessed a powerful ice-attribute martial soul, Ice Moon Vermilion Swallow.
After being injured again, Wu Nan immediately froze his wounds and then fled with Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
Taking advantage of her ability to fly, Wu Nan quickly pulled ahead of the ghost leopard. She immediately hid the two sisters, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, in a clump of grass, while she herself attracted the leopard's attention.
After all, the Bloodthirsty Leopard is extremely troublesome. Once it sets its sights on a creature, it will kill it no matter where it chases it. Wu Nan had already prepared to sacrifice himself, but he never expected that Shui Bing'er would actually run out.
"Bing'er, listen to me, hurry up! Auntie can still stop it!"
Wu Nan coughed up a mouthful of blood, then staggered to his feet, staring at the ghost leopard in front of him with murderous intent. At this moment, Wu Nan was ready to self-destruct his martial soul.
Seeing Wu Nan's appearance behind her, Shui Bing'er's tears fell in large drops: "Aunt Wu, please don't be like this, Bing'er will protect you."
Looking at the ghost leopard in front of her, Shui Bing'er felt her calves trembling and her lower abdomen heaving with each breath, but she had no intention of retreating even a step.
Shui Bing'er told herself again and again, "Bing'er, you are already a Soul Master. You must protect your younger sister and Aunt Wu."
"Phoenix, protect me!"
Suppressing her fear, Shui Bing'er immediately activated her Martial Soul Possession, and a terrifying chill spread from her body.
The ultimate beast spirit, carrying immense pressure, pressed down on the ghost leopard before it, causing the latter to immediately let out a snarling sound.
The ghost leopard sensed a suppression emanating from Shui Bing'er's bloodline.
It should be noted that the quality of the Phoenix Martial Soul is on par with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus among beast Martial Souls. In addition, Shui Bing'er's Phoenix Martial Soul inherently possesses power close to the ultimate ice, making Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul even slightly stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus.
However, compared to the Ghost Leopard in front of her, Shui Bing'er is far too weak now.
Keep in mind that the little girl is only seven years old this year, and her soul power level is only level fifteen. Facing the ten-thousand-year soul beast in front of her, Shui Bing'er's weak soul power is simply insignificant.
Although her martial spirit had a certain suppressive effect on the Ghost Leopard, the gap between the two was simply too great.
Wu Nan, who was behind them, had already started using her soul power. If the ghost leopard in front of them still wouldn't let them go, Wu Nan would immediately rush over and detonate her martial soul to perish together with the ghost leopard.
However, at that moment, an extremely powerful spiritual force connected with Wu Nan's mind without warning. Afterward, Wu Nan felt his originally turbulent soul power slowly calm down.
At the same time, the ghost leopard instantly became alert and looked around, instinctively sensing that its life was threatened.
However, before Ghost Leopard could even see where the thing threatening him was, his head felt as if it had been hit hard with a hammer, and he instantly became dizzy!
This is the third soul skill provided by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: Soul Impact!
When Huo Yuhao used this skill, he combined it with the first skill of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's head soul bone, Spiritual Battle Song. Coupled with the unexpected attack effect, this single impact severely damaged the Ghost Leopard's spirit.
Before Ghost Leopard could react, ice crystals suddenly fell from the sky, landing silently on his body, followed by a series of booming sounds.
The ice crystals exploded instantly upon hitting the ghost leopard, sending plumes of blood mist bursting across its body. In no time, the ghost leopard was torn apart, its flesh ripped open, and it was covered in blood.
The most deadly thing was that after the first round of explosions, the blood on Ghost Leopard's body slowly began to freeze into ice, and then it continued to explode!
This sudden turn of events completely stunned Wu Nan and Shui Bing'er.
Wu Nan almost instinctively covered Shui Bing'er's eyes to prevent her from seeing the bloody scene.
The scene before them was naturally caused by Huo Yuhao's Ice Explosion Technique.
As the ice-attribute skill that Huo Yuhao used most frequently in his previous life, he had long since mastered the Ice Explosion Technique. Even without obtaining the Ice Explosion Technique soul bone, Huo Yuhao could still use this skill.
After the series of explosions ended, the Ghost Leopard lying in front was already on its last breath.
Huo Yuhao slowly walked out, and then, with a swift motion, he beheaded Ghost Leopard.
Thus, the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, the Ghost Leopard, was completely dead, and a pitch-black soul ring emerged from its body.
Seeing Huo Yuhao suddenly appear before him, Wu Nan's heart was filled with turbulent waves!
Where did this monster come from? It looks no more than six or seven years old, yet it can single-handedly kill a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast!
