Upon seeing Leng Yaozhu leave, Qiangugu Dongfeng let out a sigh of relief and, facing the oncoming attack, he shouted, "World Domination Armor!"
The next second, a white halo emerged around him, and his sturdy Four-Word Battle Armor loaded with formidable defensive power appeared on his body…
When the two forces collided, there was a "bang!" as Qiangugu Dongfeng was sent flying backward, smashing into the wall and creating a dent…
A cold smirk crossed the Dark Blood Devil's cheeks. "Only now you use your Battle Armor. You never intended to kill that woman from the beginning… Well, today, I will take your life in her stead."
Looking back now, Qiangugu Dongfeng had not unleashed his Battle Armor even during the duel with that woman!
Qiangugu Dongfeng, extricating himself from the crater, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glared at the Dark Blood Devil, coughing, "Cough cough… Dark Blood Devil, do you really think you've got me all figured out?"
Scorning, the Dark Blood Devil said, "You used up most of your Soul Power in the battle with that woman, and now that you have unleashed your Four-Word Battle Armor, how long can you last before me?"
After a pause, he added, "You might as well surrender and die quietly at my hands!"
Qiangugu Dongfeng burst into laughter at these words, "Soul Power almost depleted? How foolish. Even if I am to die today, I will take you down with me!"
As his words fell, the ninth hundred-thousand-year soul ring beneath his feet lit up…
The ninth soul skill, Sky Vault Dragon Coil!
Instantly, the entire Spirit Pagoda Great Hall was filled with an intense surge of excitement as an immense dragon coiling in space materialized.
Then, with its eyes glowing golden, the dragon locked onto the Dark Blood Devil below, unleashing an earth-shattering roar that seemed to tear through the heavens!
Feeling his heart pounding, the Dark Blood Devil narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "Something's not right! I must escape from here quickly!"
It seemed as if Qiangugu Dongfeng had read the Dark Blood Devil's mind; with a cold laugh he said, "Dark Blood Devil, it's too late. My ninth soul skill can seal the space!"
Visible to the naked eye, he took a deep breath, channeling the life force and Soul Power within his body to slowly emerge and perfectly fuse with the colossal dragon...
At that moment, the soul skill was elevated once more, reaching a strike of God Rank!!
The surrounding space had already been forcibly sealed!
Realizing escape was impossible, panic finally began to set in the heart of the Dark Blood Devil…
With a ghastly pale face he said, "You… you maniac! To actually use your life force and Soul Power to amplify this soul skill!"
No matter if the soul skill could kill him or not, the former was doomed to fall!
Qiangugu Dongfeng responded coldly, "More words are useless. Let's go to Hell together!"
Immediately, the dragon coiled in space soared high and charged straight towards the Dark Blood Devil…
The Dark Blood Devil gritted his teeth, "If you wish to die, do so alone; I will not keep you company!!"
He hadn't expected his opponent to be so resolute, even employing a life-for-life strategy!
However, he himself had no intention of dying yet!!
…
On the side, Xie Xie, witnessing this, couldn't help smacking his lips and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought? Isn't President Zhenhua Gu Yue's mentor? Why is he so good to you, Wulin? Could it be that you have some unspeakable relationship with him?"
Tang Wulin glared at him, "What are you talking about? I won't deny that President Zhenhua has been very kind to me, but there is absolutely no relationship between us!"
If the other members of the Blacksmith Association heard this kind of talk, who knows what kind of rumors would spread!
```
Xie Xie coughed, "Cough cough, don't be so serious, I was just joking. Now that President Zhenhua is in a coma, what do you plan to do, Wulin?"
Tang Wulin's gaze fell on the object in his hand and he said seriously, "Well, I plan to first observe the process of Heavenly Forging, and then wait for President Zhenhua to wake up!"
Xie Xie pointed at himself, "What about me then?"
Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly smiled, "This... I haven't thought about that. Why don't you take this chance to improve your forging skills as well?"
Xie Xie shook his head like a rattle-drum, "Let's forget about that... I'm well aware of my forging skills, it's hopeless!"
In reality, his talent in forging and Mechas was not weak, but because he had never touched them again after advancing to the Inner Court, he had nearly forgotten everything by now!
Moreover, with the presence of the former Eighth Grade Blacksmith, it was no longer important whether he could forge or not!
Then, as another thought occurred to him, he felt resigned, "Well then, I'll just train diligently at the Blacksmith Association for a while, striving to catch up with the soul power rank!"
Tang Wulin didn't say much more, "Good, then take care of yourself!"
He then turned around and entered a forging room...
At this moment, Xie Xie's gaze turned to the nearby staff and he asked softly, "Could you take me to a quiet place, please?"
"Of course, please follow me!"
Below the Blacksmith Association, facilities were also built for Soul Masters to cultivate and spar...
...
On the other side, faced with such ferocious attacks, even the Ghost Emperor set aside his contempt...
He wanted to use his soul skill to defend, but another burst of silver light interrupted him again...
The Ghost Emperor's face darkened as his bloodthirsty eyes glanced at Xu Xiaoyan behind him, "Damn it!! I must deal with that one first, otherwise she'll be a nuisance!"
Xu Xiaoyan naturally saw this gesture and fearlessly stuck out her tongue, trying to provoke him further...
The Ghost Emperor's murderous intent intensified, vowing to himself, "Once I'm done with them, I'll break your bones one by one and extract your soul for a hundred years of refinement!"
Although he thought so, because of the interference, he was forced to constantly dodge and couldn't counterattack...
In the meantime, Wu Changkong, who had been observing, suddenly said, "Yuanen Yehui, Yue Zhengyu, follow me into the fray, Xie Xie wait for the right moment, Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi take responsibility for protecting Xiao Yan!"
Upon hearing those words, Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi stood beside Xu Xiaoyan, tightly protecting her in the middle, constantly guarding against the Ghost Emperor launching a sudden attack!
Yuanen Yehui and Yue Zhengyu, on the other hand, joined Wu Changkong in the fight, greatly diminishing the Ghost Emperor's space to escape!
At the same time, the main forces of the Spirit Pagoda and the War God Hall had already eliminated a large number of evil Soul Masters...
The entire situation was gradually developing in a favorable direction...
"Hmph, protection, all of you will die here today, so what protection are you talking about!"
"However, if anyone is willing to become mine, I can promise to give you a power you've never had before. At that time, no one in the human world will be able to stop you!!"
