"I want you dead! I want you dead!"The Evil Soul Master roared frantically, his crimson eyes full of madness.
The sixth pitch-black spirit ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up, emitting an eerie, ghostly light; he was actually preparing to unleash a Ten Thousand Years sixth Spirit Ability!
The blood mist that had been swirling around him instantly spread out frantically like a living thing!
The blood mist was as thick as syrup, carrying a pungent stench of blood, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the surrounding space for over a thousand meters.
The sky was dyed an eerie red, and as the sunlight pierced through the blood mist, it became dim and distorted.
Huo Yuhao floated quietly in mid-air, not in a hurry to make a move.He closed his eyes, fully deploying his Mental Detection to carefully sense everything around him.Under Mental Detection, he discovered that this blood mist was not simple at all.
This blood mist seemed like an alternative type of Domain!
Indeed, this was exactly the vampire Spirit Master's Sixth Spirit Ability—Infinite Blood Hell.
It could be considered a pseudo-Domain.
Within the range covered by the blood mist, the blood inside an enemy's body would boil uncontrollably.
That agitation would make one irritable and unable to focus on the battle.
At the same time, as long as one was wounded by him, even if it was just a tiny cut, the enemy's blood would be uncontrollably drawn out from the wound, continuously pouring into the blood mist.
Although this Spirit Ability was not a powerful offensive one, its wide range and strong functionality made it quite a good Spirit Ability.
Having unleashed his Spirit Ability, the Evil Soul Master was preparing to enjoy the sight of Huo Yuhao's painful struggle.
But in the next second... he was stunned once again.
"How is this possible?!"
His voice was full of disbelief.
"Why aren't you affected by the Spirit Ability?!"
A hint of shock flashed through his crimson eyes once more. He sensed frantically, only to find that his sixth Spirit Ability was actually unable to affect the blood inside Huo Yuhao's body!
How was this possible?
Even a Spirit Saint couldn't immunize themselves against the influence of this Spirit Ability; how did Huo Yuhao, a mere Spirit Ancestor, do it?
He really couldn't figure it out!
Huo Yuhao's constant compression of Spirit Power had not been in vain.
Every bit of compressed Spirit Power made his Foundation more solid and his control more precise.
Combined with his cultivation of the Body Sect's secret methods, his control over every inch of muscle and every drop of blood far exceeded that of ordinary Spirit Masters.
Thus, this Infinite Blood Hell could not affect the circulation of blood within his body at all!
That force attempting to make his blood boil was like a clay ox entering the sea before his powerful control—completely useless.
Huo Yuhao didn't bother explaining to him; he just floated quietly in mid-air, and then his third and fourth spirit rings flashed in succession.
Then, with his arms crossed over his chest, he looked down at the Evil Soul Master opposite him.
A faint smile played at the corner of his mouth, as if he were enjoying a comical performance. The bald vampire began to rampage through the blood mist. He roared frantically, continuously launching various Spirit Ability attacks at the air.
Blood-red light splashed everywhere, but hit nothing.
"Ah! I'm going to kill you!"
He kept shouting and cursing, acting like a madman.
The reason for this situation was that Huo Yuhao had not used any offensive Spirit Ability, but rather one he rarely used in formal combat—Simulation!
With his current Spirit Abyss Realm mental force, it was enough to deceive the enemy's vision and senses through the Simulation Soul Skill.
However, if it were someone observant, they would be able to notice clues after a long time.
After all, his mental force had not yet reached the Tangible and Material stage, so the simulated illusions would ultimately have flaws.
But this Evil Soul Master was currently in a state of madness.
Although his attack power had increased significantly, his reason had dropped sharply, so he naturally couldn't look at things calmly.
Therefore, using Simulation to deal with him was the most efficient and appropriate method.
What's more... the Myriad Thoughts Return to Nothingness Domain was also gradually taking effect.
That invisible force was stripping away the Evil Soul Master's sanity bit by bit.
This was also the tactic Huo Yuhao had summarized.
The Myriad Thoughts Return to Nothingness Domain and the Simulation Soul Skill were indeed a perfect match!
One weakens sanity, the other creates illusions; combined, they form the most perfect trap.
In Xie Xie's words, Huo Yuhao, this mental-type Spirit Master, was truly devious beyond measure.
Outside the blood mist, Gu Yue floated quietly in mid-air.
Her vision was completely blocked by the thick blood mist, and she couldn't see anything.
Not just her vision, but even her mental force could not penetrate it.
That wasn't due to the blood mist's ability, but because Huo Yuhao's Myriad Thoughts Return to Nothingness Domain was active.
That invisible mental power isolated the space enveloped by the blood mist, making it impossible for outsiders to peer inside.
Yet Gu Yue's face was calm at this moment, and there wasn't a hint of worry in her dark eyes.
This was not only her trust in Huo Yuhao's strength but also because she knew that Huo Yuhao had many life-saving items in his possession. To say the least, Huo Yuhao had several ninth-level defensive spirit tools on him. A mere Spirit Emperor couldn't possibly hurt him.
Before long, the thick red before her dissipated bit by bit like a receding tide, revealing the scene inside.
In Gu Yue's view, the bald vampire Spirit Master had now deactivated his Spirit Possession state.
The blood-colored fleshy wings were gone, the sharp fangs had retracted, and he had returned to his original appearance. He fell straight down from mid-air like a kite with its string cut.
Gu Yue keenly observed a massive gash on his neck.The cut was smooth and deep, nearly severing half of his neck. Blood was gushing out uncontrollably, raining down in the air. Clearly, this was his fatal wound.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao was quietly floating not far away. With a flick of his right hand, the blood on the soul tool longsword was flung off, tracing a red arc in the air as it fell. The blade regained its silvery luster, shimmering with a cold light in the sun.
Gu Yue flew to Huo Yuhao's side, a smile appearing on her face.
"It seems," she said with a hint of ease, "that Spirit Emperors are no longer a match for you."
Huo Yuhao glanced at the Evil Soul Master lying on the ground, his handsome face showing little emotion.
"Although Evil Soul Masters are troublesome, his mental state was unstable, which happened to be countered by me."
Hearing this, the corners of Gu Yue's mouth curled up slightly.
"Between us, there's no need for such modesty."
Huo Yuhao smiled and didn't respond to that. He pointed below and said, "I'll also need your help to destroy the evidence."
Gu Yue understood immediately; with a wave of her hand, a fireball appeared out of thin air and, carrying a scorching heat, landed precisely on the Evil Soul Master's corpse.
The temperature of the flame was extremely high, and in almost an instant, the Evil Soul Master was turned to ash, scattering with the wind.
The fire then extinguished without igniting the surrounding vegetation, its control being perfect.
Huo Yuhao's gaze turned toward the distance, where the soul tool train tracks stretched straight into the horizon.
The train had long since disappeared over the horizon, with not even a shadow left in sight.
"It seems it will take some effort to catch up."
Hearing this, Gu Yue had a thought. Huo Yuhao felt his whole body lighten as a faint circle of cyan light swirled around him. This was the power of the wind element, lifting him and reducing his weight.
He turned to look at Gu Yue; she smiled, and her smile surprisingly held a rare hint of playfulness.
"This should make it a bit faster."
Huo Yuhao nodded: "Let's go, it's time to regroup with Wulin and Na'er."
Immediately, both he and Gu Yue activated the flying spirit tools on their backs and sped off along the train tracks!
Two figures streaked across the sky, gradually disappearing into the distance.
The time it eventually took was even less than Huo Yuhao had anticipated.
They flew for about an hour before stopping.
Due to the terrorist attack on the train, it had made an emergency stop at the next station, Tianxing City.
All passengers were evacuated, and the train had to undergo an inspection.
Tang Wulin and Na'er naturally followed the crowd off the train and were stranded in this unfamiliar city.
With Huo Yuhao's mental force, he quickly pinpointed their location.
The officials of Tianxing City were warmly receiving these two "young heroes."
Tang Wulin and Na'er were surrounded by the crowd, receiving various praises and thanks.
Both looked helpless, yet they couldn't directly refuse.
Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue watched this scene from afar and didn't show themselves directly; they didn't care about such fame.
Especially Huo Yuhao; he had no desire to show his face in public or on the internet, lest he be targeted by the Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult again.
Only after the officials finally dispersed and Tang Wulin and Na'er finally got away did they quietly appear to reunite with the two.
After being delayed in Tianxing City for several hours, it was already evening by the time they finally reached Shrek City.
As night fell, the city lights began to glow.
This number one city on the continent appeared exceptionally prosperous and beautiful in the night.
Na'er naturally returned directly to Shrek Academy.
While Tang Wulin followed Huo Yuhao to the Spirit Pagoda.
