"Looks like I'll have to bring out my true strength!" Sikong Zhengqing sneered. He took out a handful of seeds from somewhere and threw them out as he roared, "All Things Grow!"
Under the stimulation of the wood attribute Yuan Power, the seeds grew in the wind and instantly extended in a frenzy. Countless vines instantly covered the entire sky and unhesitatingly welcomed Saul's Myriad Threads Soul Extraction Technique.
The black soul threads wrapped around the green vines and continued to advance in an attempt to break through Sikong Zhengqing's defense. Sikong Zhengqing continued to channel his Yuan Power and the vines that extended were dazzling to the eyes. They forcefully blocked Saul's invasion.
Following that, Saul's attack arrived in an instant. The Innumerable Threads Soul Extraction Technique did not stop, and the two chains in his hands whipped over like a black bolt of lightning. If he was hit by it, the damage he would suffer would be even heavier than being entangled by the Soul Threads.
Ye Wenyan attacked brazenly at this moment. His sword technique was not as flashy as Ye Wenjun's. It was simple and unadorned, but it was extremely practical. It seemed slow but was extremely fast. When he attacked, his sword would always block the path of the chains, preventing them from taking even half a step forward.
Although both parties increased the power of their attacks, Ye Wenyan and Sikong Zhengqing managed to maintain a stalemate once again. Although it was a stalemate, Saul clearly had the upper hand. Everyone present could tell that Ye Wenyan and Sikong Zhengqing could only defend themselves and could not retaliate.
There was no need to mention Sikong Zhengqing. Right now, he was using all his strength to maintain the All Things Grow in order to block Saul's Soul Extraction Technique. He could not spare any effort to do anything else. Even so, the web of vines continued to lose territory under the corrosion of the soul threads.
As for Ye Wenyan, his attacks seemed to be very relaxed. However, those who were familiar with his style knew that he would always be like this no matter who he faced. This was his style. He was facing Saul, who was a half-step Soul Sage. How could he be as relaxed as he looked?
Apart from Lu Xuan, who was immersed in cultivation, and Ling Jin, who was recovering from her injuries, everyone else was tense, not daring to relax at all. In a battle of this intensity, victory or defeat was usually decided in an instant. Once Ye Wenyan and Ling Jin showed any signs of losing, everyone would rush forward to support them and fight against Saul, continuing to buy time for Lu Xuan.
Xuan 'er, you have to do your best! Ye Wenjun glanced at Lu Xuan and thought to himself. Not only were they trying to buy time for Lu Xuan, but they were also trying to buy time for the Sky Sword Human Tribe.
It was not that Lu Xuan wasn't working hard. It was just that when it came to cultivation, it could never be changed by one's will. Right now, he had let go of all his caution and was willing to risk going mad by swallowing soul power. The entire Soul Lake space was violently vibrating. The usually clear Soul Lake now had a trace of black impurities. In this kind of situation, he would go mad if he was the slightest bit careless.
However, Lu Xuan couldn't care less. As long as he hadn't reached his limit and was not on the verge of going mad, he wouldn't stop! Everyone was fighting with their lives on the line. He had to too. This was a battle of destiny!
No one dared to disturb Lu Xuan when they sensed the powerful soul power that was constantly fluctuating around Lu Xuan. This was because Lu Xuan was the one who was bearing the greatest pressure. Even though Lu Xuan had experienced many things over the years, and even walked on the brink of death more than once, Lu Xuan was still a child to everyone present. However, it was this child who was shouldering the safety of the entire continent. Perhaps it wasn't as heavy as Heavenly Emperor Lu Xuan shouldering the safety of the entire human race in the Heaven Region, but to Lu Xuan, this was a burden that he had never had before.
Pa! Pa!
A series of crisp explosions rang out, and a dozen of Sikong Zhengqing's Life Vines were instantly snapped. Saul laughed maniacally, and countless soul tendrils took advantage of this opening to rush over like venomous snakes. Everyone's expression instantly changed!
Everyone was practically unable to restrain themselves and were about to attack when a sword light slashed down from the sky and instantly severed Saul's soul threads. It was precisely Ye Wenyan who'd forcefully attacked at the critical moment and resolved this wave of danger.
Sikong Zhengqing didn't know where the arrogance in his heart had come from. The two of them were dealing with Saul's attack at the same time, so why would he need Ye Wenyan's help? Could it be that he would forever be inferior to Ye Wenyan?
With a puff, Sikong Zhengqing abruptly slapped his own chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he waved his hand and the blood turned into a blood mist that was absorbed by the vines of life. In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so vines that had just been snapped began to grow again. In fact, they were even thicker and stronger than before!
"Get back here!" Sikong Zhengqing roared and pushed out with both hands. The Vines of Life were like soldiers that had received an order, and they instantly charged forward. A series of snapping sounds rang out, and Saul's Soul Tendrils that had wrapped around the Vines of Life were instantly snapped. The space that Saul had spent so much effort to occupy was once again seized by Sikong Zhengqing.
Ye Wenyan smiled when he sensed Sikong Zhengqing's actions. He knew that this was Sikong Zhengqing's personality. He would never admit defeat.
But Sikong Zhengqing's actions had angered Saul. He was a Half-Step Soul Saint, but he was being blocked by two Transcendents. This was a great humiliation to him!
"Soul Silk Traction!" Saul cried out. In the blink of an eye, all of the soul strands turned into nothingness. Sikong Zhengqing was startled. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop the soul strands. He could only watch helplessly as the soul strands flew toward him.
This was the greatest advantage that soulforce had over elemental energy. Soulforce could be tangible or intangible. Tangible things were easy to defend against, but intangible things were difficult to defend against.
Saul's soul strands were drawn toward Sikong Zhengqing's vines. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the vines were wrapped around him.
Seeing this, Saul laughed, "Explode!"
Bang! There was a loud explosion. Sikong Zhengqing had used up most of his elemental energy, and the vines that had absorbed a mouthful of his blood essence, but now, they were all blown to smithereens.
There was another puff of blood from Sikong Zhengqing's mouth as his body swayed. This move of Saul's was a move that hurt both sides. First, he forcefully changed his soul strands. Then, he blew them all up. Saul had used up quite a bit of his energy, but with the amount of soulforce in the area, he didn't care. But to Sikong Zhengqing, this was a huge blow.
"Your tricks are far too low level in my eyes. I'll show you what it means to be a Half-Step Soul Saint! Soul Summoning, Form! " Saul let out a strange cry. As he waved his hands, the soulforce in the area began to surge like a tornado.
What happened next left everyone dumbfounded. Countless armored 'people' appeared out of thin air. Each one of them had the aura of a Virtualized Realm cultivator!
