"Gu Yuena, help me deal with a Title Douluo, and I'll owe you a favor."
Within Notting City, only two people could restrain a Title Douluo.
Tang Hao was one; he was originally a good candidate to deal with the Spirit Hall, but Tang Hao usually entered the underground city and seemed to be absent now. Besides him, only Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, remained.
The sound waves, enveloped by three types of energy and aided by spatial techniques, successfully broke through the Title Douluo's soul power blockade. Lin Bai's expression remained unchanged as he continued his confrontation with Qian Renxue.
A few breaths later, a voice carrying Gu Yuena's soul power returned, "Who are they? What price are you willing to pay? I need to consider whether it's worth it."
Lin Bai didn't expect Gu Yuena to help without understanding the situation, so he replied telepathically, "They are from the Spirit Hall. The leader's soul master's martial soul is the Six-Winged Angel. You should understand what that represents. As for the price, I don't have anything suitable for you. I can help you once more, but of course, if you think it's not worth it, then forget it."
Six-Winged Angel?
Having lived in human society for so long, Gu Yuena naturally knew the origins of the Spirit Hall, a force founded by the Angel God. However, she hadn't expected that this generation would awaken a six-winged angel spirit.
This was hardly good news for her.
"Alright, I'll help you stop a Title Douluo. Remember your promise,"
Gu Yuena replied telepathically after a moment's consideration. She didn't ask Lin Bai how he knew so much, just as Lin Bai hadn't inquired about her secrets.
Lin Bai immediately felt much more relaxed. "Alright, you hold off the Title Douluo in the shadows, I'll handle these two."
At this moment, Qian Renxue's patience reached its limit. Her gaze sharpened. "I'll trouble Elder She to take him down."
Qian Renxue made up her mind, her magic power surging as she stared at Lin Bai: "You don't need to think about escaping. To deal with you, I specifically requested a purple skill from the Spirit Hall—the Spatial Anchor. You can't escape."
Along with her voice, a massive spatial anchor formed from magic power appeared. The silver-blue anchor hovered in mid-air, and Lin Bai immediately felt the surrounding spatial activity decrease, connecting to a large area of nearby space.
To leave smoothly, he would need to consume more energy, and even consuming energy wouldn't guarantee instantaneous escape, as he would need the power to break through the surrounding space to escape the anchor's hold.
Lin Bai's heart sank. Before entering the dungeon, he wasn't afraid, but his divine essence had consumed a lot of energy within the dungeon, and now his remaining energy was probably insufficient to break through the spatial anchor.
However, Lin Bai showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, a high-spirited smile appeared on his face as he grinned at Qian Renxue.
"You're all prepared, huh? Then I'll have to show you some respect."
Lin Bai raised his right arm, and the Ruyi Qiankun Spear appeared in his palm, rapidly enlarging and floating in the air.
Berserk!
Mad Sacrifice! Demon
Eye, Activate!
All his soul skills and soul bones were activated in an instant. Lin Bai's aura rose from low to high, increasing several times in a short while, while his soul power dropped from its peak to less than 10%.
The small world converted starlight, continuously providing pure energy. Lin Bai's consumed soul power recovered in seconds. Because he had to take care of his body's limits, he managed to recover 10% of his soul power every three seconds; otherwise, he could have instantly replenished his mana.
The Serpent Spear Douluo watched Lin Bai's enhancement with interest. He looked around and said, "Aren't you going to summon your dragon mount? I'll give you time."
Lin Bai smiled mockingly and ignored him. His strength was enough to deal with Soul Saints, but it was completely ineffective against Title Douluos.
And if they think that dragon knights must rely on dragons to fight, then he's about to give them a surprise.
Serpent Spear Douluo's expression darkened. He didn't care about outsiders' opinions, but a mere junior had no right to look down on him.
His eighteen-foot serpent spear glowed with a blue light as he directly used his eighth soul skill. The spear shot out like a giant blue python, locking onto all of Lin Bai's dodging space.
Azure Shadow Divine Spear!
Serpent Spear Douluo's face was cold. Judging from Lin Bai's strength when he last encountered the young master, this move would at most severely injure him, not kill him.
Lin Bai appeared motionless, but in reality, he was on guard against the Porcupine Douluo lurking in the shadows. Finding no sign of the other party attacking, he quickly realized that the other was protecting Qian Renxue and also guarding against any hidden tricks.
However, this was perfect for him to use.
Lin Bai glanced indifferently at Qian Renxue. Since she had come looking for trouble, she should be prepared to pay the price.
The boy's eyes glowed blue, and his body levitated under the influence of his psychic power. His terrifying mental strength, like the might of heaven, instantly suppressed the Serpent Spear Douluo's eighth soul skill. Under the Serpent Spear Douluo's bloodshot gaze, the azure spear shadow shattered inch by inch, turning into harmless energy.
Psychic Storm!
"This is a golden skill I recently acquired. Please take a look."
Boom!
Like a bomb exploding in their minds, terrifying psychic power rapidly shifted between mental and psychic forces. The two types of mental energy constantly changed their nature, causing them to clash and triggering a large-scale psychic storm, resulting in powerful damage.
The Serpent Spear Douluo's soul power reacted instinctively, generating a soul power shield to protect himself.
Qian Renxue wasn't so lucky. No matter how much the Porcupine Douluo paid attention to her, he couldn't possibly be faster than Lin Bai's thoughts.
Qian Renxue's face contorted in pain, and fine bloodstains appeared on her fair skin. Her brilliant soul power was utterly unable to defend against this psychic storm. Worse still, she was unprepared, and her mental sea was in complete disarray.
If it weren't for the fact that she had fused with the head soul bone from the Angel Set, granting her mental strength far exceeding that of other soul masters of the same level, she might already be dead from a head explosion.
Even so, Qian Renxue's consciousness was in chaos, her face constantly changing under the influence of her soul bone skill—one moment it was Qian Renxue, the next Xue Qinghe, or other faces, including even Lin Bai's face, which she had only just seen for the first time.
The Porcupine Douluo, disregarding his concealment, appeared in front of Qian Renxue, his face grim, helpless and unsure what to do.
Just then, a gust of wind swept in, like a cold steel blade slicing across the Porcupine Douluo's vital points; it was Gu Yuena who had made her move.
The Porcupine Douluo's expression changed, and just as he was about to retaliate, the wind element condensed into a cyan wind blade, aimed at Qian Renxue's snow-white neck, its threat palpable.
He immediately dared not move rashly, and Gu Yuena had no intention of killing Qian Renxue here either; otherwise, not only would she face retaliation from the Spirit Hall, but Lin Bai would probably turn against her.
"Young Master!"
The Serpent Spear Douluo only had time to exclaim in surprise before glaring at Lin Bai through gritted teeth, saying hatefully, "You brat, you're courting death!" His
ninth spirit ring lit up, and a terrifying surge of spirit power broke through the spirit power seal. He was now unrestrained, displaying his full strength.
The spear pierced the sky!
The sharp serpent spear attacked, like a venomous snake opening its jaws, its sharp fangs menacing, aimed at Lin Bai's vital points.
