Gazing at the smoke generated by the explosion of the Soul Splitting Wave, Qian Yu couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, staring intently ahead…
He thought to himself, "A spiritual power attack should at least have caused her some injuries, right?"
As the smoke slowly dissipated, Ye Xishui appeared unharmed, with the Death God Scythe in hand, her delicate cheeks looking even colder…
The Soul Splitting Wave had indeed inflicted spiritual damage on her, a God, which was utterly insulting!
Thinking this, Ye Xishui glared at Qian Yu and said in a chilling tone, "I was going to let you live a little longer, but it seems that's not necessary anymore!"
This boy had successfully unleashed her killing intent!
He was nothing but a lowly ant, and he should look like one!!
The crimson aura that permeated the surroundings suddenly surged, and a towering pressure kept rolling towards Qian Yu…
Assailed by this pressure, Qian Yu felt a sudden heaviness in his heart, and a sense of fear involuntarily rose within him…
He nonetheless said calmly, "So you're finally getting serious?"
He was well aware that Ye Xishui had previously treated the battle like a cat playing with a mouse, which was why he had a chance to strike back, but now it was going to be different!
Realizing this, Qian Yu involuntarily took a few steps back, putting some distance between himself and Ye Xishui, to avoid being instantly killed by a targeted technique like before!
…
Ye Xishui shouted, "Prepare to embrace death! Second Soul Skill, Scythe's Edge!"
The second hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring beneath her feet lit up…
Immediately, the sharp end of the Death God Scythe she held extended a sickle green blade that resembled a laser, a full three meters in size!!
This soul skill was an enhancement for the Death God Scythe! It caused all inflicted wounds to be unhealable for a short period, and also added a weakening effect on the enemy, gradually breaking down their defense!
Qian Yu's gaze swept over the Death God Scythe's blade, and he immediately took out a Grade Ten Close Combat Soul Guidance Device from his storage soul tool!!
If one looked closely, they would see that this soul guidance device was crafted based on the Angel's Sword as a prototype, nearly perfectly releasing the power of the Grade Ten Core Circuit…
Qian Yu grasped the sword and charged towards Ye Xishui at once…
Seeing Qian Yu not choosing to defend but instead launch an attack, Ye Xishui's tone was filled with frost as she said, "Daring to attack? You're courting death!!"
The next moment, she fearlessly charged at the approaching Qian Yu, wielding the sickle at a tricky angle…
"Bang!!"
Although Qian Yu's sword blocked the attack from the Death God Scythe, the several meters long sickle green blade still cut through his skin…
Small cuts appeared on Qian Yu's cheek, and blood began to drip…
While resisting Ye Xishui's sickle, Qian Yu glanced at the dripping blood, "Is the effect of the soul skill to prevent the wounds from healing?"
Ye Xishui sneered, "Correct, the wounds inflicted by this attack cannot heal! So, if I chop off your head, not even a god could save you!!"
As she spoke, she suddenly kicked out fiercely, hitting Qian Yu directly in the chest and forcing him to retreat awkwardly a few steps…
Seeing this, Ye Xishui, apparently not intending to give Qian Yu a chance to recover, continued to wield the Death God Demon Puppet to chase after him…
In this series of tricky attacks, Ye Xishui completely controlled the rhythm of offense, and Qian Yu could only defend passively…
But no matter how much he defended, there would always be mistakes!
For instance, now, after Ye Xishui's strike sent him flying, he finally realized his body was covered in numerous cuts. Though not fatal, they affected his combat ability…
Gulping for air, Qian Yu's gaze was locked tightly on Ye Xishui in front of him, ready for her next attack…
But unexpectedly, Ye Xishui revealed a sinister smile and whispered, "Sorry, the game is over now!"
```
Qian Yu's pupils suddenly constricted, "What do you mean!"
He felt a foreboding premonition rising from the depths of his heart!!
That was…
The feeling of being on the brink of death!!
Barely visible across from him, the tenth Crimson Soul Ring at Ye Xishui's feet suddenly lit up!!
She coldly shouted, "Tenth Soul Skill, Soul Rend!"
Her tenth soul skill required absorbing a certain amount of the opponent's blood to activate. Although the requirements were stringent, the effect was... lethal!!
As her words fell, the massive Blood God Demon Puppet behind Ye Xishui began to quietly melt away. Once it transformed into a blur of liquid, it reconstituted into a figure with a target-like crosshair…
That figure was unmistakably in the shape of Qian Yu!
Upon seeing this scene, Qian Yu instantly realized what this soul skill entailed!
His face turned ugly as he said, "I must not let her succeed!!"
Should it really be unleashed, he felt that he would indeed be killed!!
With this thought, the ninth Golden Million Year Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly shone brightly…
"Ninth Soul Skill, Angel's Judgment!!"
The entire sky above started to emit blinding golden light, and the surrounding dark clouds rapidly dispersed…
Immediately, Qian Yu and the Netherworld Angel behind him vanished from their original spot and, upon regaining their senses, appeared high above…
And under the shower of golden light, the body of the Netherworld Angel gradually morphed into an entirely different "Holy Angel"!
The Holy Angel's golden eyes focused, lifting an arm as if holding the Angel's Sword...
In the next moment, countless holy flames appeared out of thin air around her, converging into her palm, and after about fifteen seconds, a Flame Sword that was a full hundred meters long and made entirely of flames phased into existence, its scorching heat seemingly capable of melting all things…
Following a thought from Qian Yu, the Flame Sword was directed towards Ye Xishui and slashed down at her…
With such speed that Ye Xishui couldn't react in time, her entire delicate body was pierced by the Flame Sword as it continued to burn her with its immense flames…
Ye Xishui's screams echoed across the heavens, "Aaahhhhhh!!!!!"
Seeing Ye Xishui issue such a pained cry, Qian Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that the soul skill had caused her significant harm!
Pale color crept onto Qian Yu's cheeks as he said, "It actually consumed one-third of my Divine Power!"
It can be said that the consumption of Divine Power is directly proportional to the skill's potency, which is why Qian Yu usually refrains from using his eighth and ninth soul skills!
Because even he would be drained of Divine Power after deploying them two or three times!
The intense holy flames gradually began to extinguish, and Ye Xishui's body below had become bloodied and battered…
She shouted angrily from her mouth, "Go to hell!!!"
Clenching the Death God Scythe, she swung it at the illusion of Qian Yu beside her…
With a "splurch!" sound…
The former was instantly cleaved into two by the Death God Scythe…
At the same time, in the skies above, Qian Yu's light-gold pupils suddenly widened in shock...
...
