The golden beam of light in front of Bai Yunfei’s eyes wasn’t too large in size, but it was its speed that was the most shocking factor. The Cataclysmic Seal wasn’t even anywhere near Bai Yunfei when the golden beam of light was about to hit him!

Panicking, Bai Yunfei knew there wasn’t any time to move his head out of the way. It was time for another tactic!

“Swoosh!!”

The golden beam of light shot into Bai Yunfei’s right eye and then…went straight through his head!

“What?!”

Lin Xiangtian was bewildered. His attack should’ve killed Bai Yunfei! But not only did he fail to see the attack make contact, Bai Yunfei’s aura suddenly disappeared!

The most puzzling part about the latter was the fact that he could still see Bai Yunfei standing there. It was almost as if Bai Yunfei didn’t exist on this plane of existence but on another!

Even after seeing this once in the Qimang Mountain with his medium, Lin Xiangtian still didn’t know what was going on!

If there was something he knew, it was that this ‘trump card’ of Bai Yunfei should last only for two seconds at most!

The time was nigh now, Lin Xiangtian jabbed at the sky with a finger before swiping it back with fury!

Bai Yunfei had been planning on using those two seconds to cast another Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst, but seeing what Lin Xiangtian was doing made him pause. Something was about to happen!

Two seconds went by with Bai Yunfei cautiously preparing himself for Lin Xiangtian. His senses were on high alert for anything that might attack him.

And then…the attack came from behind!

“Bzz…”

It happened when Bai Yunfei was brought back to the real world. The Cataclysmic Seal activated its +12 additional effect at the same time as his re-entrance and wrapped him in a bubble of elemental earth.

“Pap...crack!”

Bai Yunfei felt his heart leap to his throat the moment he heard something shatter!

He knew from the sound that his Cataclysmic Seal managed to block whatever attack Lin Xiangtian sent his way but…not completely! The strength of the attack was somehow amplified at the moment of impact!

Meaning…the attack was just strong enough to break through the strongest defense the Cataclysmic Seal could offer and shattered it!

And now that it was free of any last obstacles, the attack was now on its way to attack Bai Yunfei in the back of his head. Death was approaching!

In one last attempt to evade death, Bai Yunfei threw himself to the left as hard as he could!

As fast as he was, Lin Xiangtian’s attack was even faster. Though he managed to throw himself some distance to the left, the golden beam of light still managed to slam into his right temple!

And that was the moment Lin Xiangtian began to smile with victorious triumph!

“Clang!!”

Lin Xiangtian expected to see his attack perforate Bai Yunfei’s head and kill him. Instead, he saw several sparks come out from where his attack landed before bouncing away. His attack failed! He failed to kill Bai Yunfei yet again!

“What is this?!”

He could hardly believe his eyes. How had his own high-heaven soul armament—one with the ability to increase its own attack—be blocked?!

“That cloth…it’s because of that cloth on his head! What kind of cloth has that kind of defensive power?!”

—His soul armament had collided with the Soul Sentinel Scarf!

When a collision was inevitable, Bai Yunfei did the only thing he could and angled his head so the attack would hit the Soul Sentinel Scarf!

Based on the fact that it went through the Cataclysmic Seal’s barrier, Bai Yunfei could surmise that the soul armament was a high-heaven tier soul armament and capable of doubling its attack power in an instant. At its peak, the attack power should’ve been around ten thousand or so. It was an amazingly strong value to have, but it was useless against the Soul Sentinel Scarf with its thirty thousand points of defense!

It was still a venture that made Bai Yunfei anxious beyond belief. Feeling as though he had just been drenched in a pool of water, Bai Yunfei knew that he had nearly died just now. Even now, he could still feel the stars of when the soul armament hit him.

Only now did he see the soul armament within the golden light. A shuttle-shaped rod about the half the size of a palm…. 

“Yunfei!!”

It all happened far too fast. Xiao Qi himself could only scream in horror when the soul armament was about to hit Bai Yunfei. Furious that his partner was in fatal danger, he extended his wings outward and materialized a phoenix-like bird above his head. The giant apparition mimicked Xiao Qi’s actions as well and gathered all sorts of energy to its wings. Fireballs, lightning bolts, blades of wind, and green meteors filled the sky before hailing down on Lin Xiangtian!

Xiao Qi’s attacks snapped Lin Xiangtian out from his stupor. Glaring at Xiao Qi, he had the bull beneath him snap all eight of its tails out to defend them against the elemental hailstorm.

“Chirp!!”

But that wasn’t all Xiao Qi had to give. Still furious, Xiao Qi divebombed Lin Xiangtian with breakneck speeds. Weaving in and out of the net-like coverage of the bull’s tails, Xiao Qi drew closer and closer to the two. Then when there was one giant golden tail left to get past, Xiao Qi struck at it with a sharp golden talon!

“Pcht!!”

His talons sunk deep in the tail without trouble. Chirping loudly, Xiao Qi began to flap his wings and took off to the sky with the tail still clutched tightly in his talons!

With its tail stuck in Xiao Qi’s talons, the bull was helpless as it was brought up into the sky and begun to be spun around!

There was a terrific tearing sound as Xiao Qi applied even more pressure to where he was grabbing, and then…the tail was torn straight off!

Xiao Qi had managed to tear off one of the bull’s tails!

“What?!”

Lin Xiangtian exclaimed in disbelief. An early-stage class eight soulbeast had managed to break through the defense of his mid-stage class eight soulbeast puppet?!

He severely underestimated Xiao Qi. That attack just now was actually due to the result of Xiao Qi’s golden claws. With the ability to deal piercing damage the bird was able to latch onto the tail. With the additional effect granting Xiao Qi bonus damage in one claw at the expense of the other, Xiao Qi was able to gather just enough power to that one claw to tear it straight off!

“Mooo!!!!”

A furious moo erupted from the bull, ordered by Lin Xiangtian to attack, the bull sent the remaining seven tails at Xiao Qi!

Stuck within range of the tails, Xiao Qi tried his best to weave through them all. As agile and nimble as he was, Xiao Qi was unable to dodge all of them and was eventually sent flying by one of the tails… 

Lin Xiangtian was right about to give chase when he took notice of Bai Yunfei making a throwing motion with his right arm. One second later…he saw a black jet of light follow his shuttle-shaped soul armament back to him!

Bai Yunfei was returning the favor with interest!

It was time for the Voidsplitter to shine again!

“Eh?!”

Lin Xiangtian let out a startled gasp. It wasn’t that he was shocked about Bai Yunfei throwing the soul armament. It was because the soul armament had suddenly disappeared from sight!

Faced with this puzzling mystery, Lin Xiangtian followed his gut and instinctively threw himself to the right!

One split-second later and there was a flash of black as the Voidsplitter reappeared again where his throat used to be! It was with trepidation that he watched the black soul armament whiz past him. As it did, Lin Xiangtian felt a sliver of spatial energy follow.

Saved by a sliver of a centimeter!

His back grew slick with sweat. Had the soul armament’s aim been true… 

“Whoosh!!”

Not even moments after the danger passed did Lin Xiangtian realize something else was coming at him from the front!

He looked up. Right there in front of him was Bai Yunfei with a crimson-red spear in hand to stab him!

The situation felt paradoxical to Lin Xiangtian. Based on what he could sense, Bai Yunfei was at half of his regular soulforce reserves and should’ve been weaker than before. But for some strange reason, Bai Yunfei with the Fire-tipped Spear in hand felt even more powerful than ever!

With the intent to retreat in mind, Lin Xiangtian began to spur his soulforce to his feet so he could follow through with his mind. But…
