The two forces of wind and water detonated simultaneously. The combined attacks annihilated each other in a thunderous explosion.
Steam and mist filled the battlefield.
For a moment, visibility vanished entirely.
Within the dispersing vapor—Ci Xue and She Long exchanged a glance.
The opponent before them was not merely powerful— She was a peak existence, a genuine Level 99 Ultimate Douluo.
If they miscalculated even slightly—they would fall.
So they chose the only viable option use their trump cards, for a chance to escape
She Long spoke first, his voice resolute.
"Young Master, please listen to this old man and evacuate."
"We will buy you enough time."
Ci Xue stepped forward as well, eyes burning with determination.
"Ten years ago… when you were in danger, we were powerless."
His fists clenched.
"Please. This time—get to safety."
They were referring to that incident and the day Ren Xuan had attacked Qian Renxue.
She Long's martial soul surged violently.
The Snake Lance elongated, thickened, its metallic sheen shifting into something more serpentine—like a giant python piercing the sky.
Its tip glowed faintly with lethal intent.
At the same time, Ci Xue roared, activating two spirit skills in succession.
"Second Soul Skill: Thorn Blades!"
The spikes covering his body sharpened dramatically, extending by nearly half their length. Each spine gleamed with cold, deadly luster.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Bone-Piercing Thorns!"
The spines detached from his body in a violent burst.
They flew through the air and embedded themselves along the head of She Long's Snake Lance.Each spike carried potent poison.
The weapon transformed. From a lance— Into a rotating execution spear.
She Long's eighth spirit ring ignited.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Sky-Piercing Lance!"
With a thunderous shout, he hurled his martial soul forward like a divine javelin.
The air tore apart as the lance traveled.
It rotated at terrifying speed, generating sonic booms in rapid succession and the poisonous spikes spun around its head like a storm of death.
Before Bo Saixi could even blink in the mist—The lance had already crossed half the battlefield.
Eve waved her Martial Soul: Myriad Transformation fan and the sixth spirit ring glowed.
"Sixth Soul Skill: Seismic Push."
A faint tremor rippled across the ground.
A powerful compressive force slammed into the rotating Snake Lance from behind and a deafening boom erupted.
The lance vanished from sight—appearing directly in front of Bo Saixi in less than a heartbeat.
For a split second—Even Ci Xue and She Long felt hope ignite.
Though far from the sea, though Bo Saixi's power was reduced—She remained a true Level 99 Ultimate Douluo. So her response to the attack was also unusually fast.
Her sixth spirit ring shone instantly.
"Sixth Soul Skill: Sea Burial."
The surrounding water elements condensed violently and the moisture in the air thickened.
Within a blink it seemed as if—an entire sea manifested midair.
At its center—A spiraling vortex formed which resembled a gate to another dimension like a maw swallowing everything.
The Sky-Piercing Lance was sucked into the vortex without any resistance
She Long's body trembled as the connection to his martial soul getting trapped snapped back to him, the backlash forcing blood to trickle from the corner of his mouth.
Ci Xue staggered slightly as their strongest coordinated attack—was neutralized effortlessly.
Bo Saixi lowered her trident slightly. Her calm blue eyes glimmered with genuine admiration.
"Impressive…"
For two Level 94 Titled Douluo to generate such destructive force—was rare, but admiration did not change the outcome.
Suddenly, Bo Saixi's deep blue eyes shifted—from tranquil ocean blue…to cold azure.
It was as if another consciousness had opened its eyes behind hers.
Yet She Long and Ci Xue did not notice, they were too focused on Eve.
"Young Master, please retreat!"
"Let us old bones make time for you!"
She Long's face was pale as he strained to retrieve his Snake Lance, which remained sealed within the vortex created by Sea Burial. Veins bulged across his forehead as he attempted to forcefully recall his martial soul.
But Eve was not looking at them, her entire attention was locked onto Bo Saixi.
Even the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in her hand trembled faintly, as though reacting to a higher authority..
"Watch out!" she shouted.
'Bo Saixi' slowly raised her hand and clenched.
The vortex that had swallowed the Snake Lance collapsed inward violently, as if crushed by an invisible palm from another dimension.
A muffled explosion echoed.
She Long screamed and blood erupted from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth simultaneously. His body convulsed violently as if struck by lightning.
His martial soul—the Snake Lance, forcefully destroyed within the collapsing vortex.
She Long fell to one knee, aura plummeting, life force unstable. The backlash from a shattered martial soul was far more terrifying than ordinary injury.
Ci Xue's pupils shrank in horror.
"Old She!"
He moved to support him, Eve spoke immediately, her voice cutting through the suffocating air.
"Uncle Ci Xue, take Uncle She Long with you."
Ci Xue clenched his fists.
"But, Young Master—"
Her eyes ignited, purple radiance flooded her pupils, deep and unfathomable, like a boundless spiritual abyss.
The temperature around her seemed to drop. Within her mind, she began to recite silently:
'The Almighty Angel, The one who has gazed upon this place from beyond…'
