Chapter 78: Killing the Soul King

...

"Go to hell with your glory!"

The black-robed Soul King roared, and dozens of thorny vines danced wildly towards Zeng Yi.

"It's you who will die!"

Zeng Yi calmly faced the approaching thorny attack, not showing any fear. With his soul power surging, he held his sword in both hands and swiftly moved forward to meet the thorns.

So what if he's a Soul King? As long as I don't get hit by this attack and get close to him, he will die by my sword.

The reflection of the growing thorns in Zeng Yi's silver eyes became larger and larger. He quickly swung his sword and easily cut through the thorns as if they were tofu.

Just some vines trying to stop my blade, how laughable!

After cutting down the thorns, Zeng Yi continued to approach the black-robed Soul King. He knew that once he got close, the Soul King would be no match for him. He could easily take the Soul King's life with just a few strikes.

With his right hand wielding the Ronin Sword with all his strength, he released a long sword qi towards the black-robed Soul King. Then, swinging his left-handed long sword, he released another sword qi, with the two sword qi waves overlapping and slashing forward with relentless speed and sharpness.

It's not over yet!

Zeng Yi shouted inwardly, his silver eyes shining brightly. He threw his left-handed sword towards the location of the Soul King, turning it into a flowing light that flew with sharpness.

Gripping the Ronin Sword tightly with both hands, the Sword became imbued with a faint blue light. The sword intent was fierce and pointed directly at the black-robed Soul King.

Charge forward and strike!

Four attacks were launched almost simultaneously, causing the black-robed Soul King to be greatly shocked. He could clearly sense the dangerous and fierce momentum in those sword qi waves.

I must not get hit!

His soul ring shone, and his soul skill was activated!

Instantly, dozens of thick thorny vines rushed up from the ground around the black-robed Soul King, quickly twisting and forming a high and thick wall of thorns.

Boom!

The sharp sword qi viciously struck the thorny wall, causing a fierce explosion. The powerful force generated a raging gust of wind that swept through the surrounding area and ravaged the nearby weeds and shrubs, creating a cloud of dust that filled the surroundings.

Zeng Yi's first sword qi slashed a deep groove on the thorny wall, but it did not break through. However, the next sword qi struck at the same spot, and the two powerful sword qi strikes almost broke through the thorny wall.

Not good!

The black-robed Soul King was greatly alarmed. He never expected that his third soul skill couldn't even withstand an attack from a Soul Elder. Who is this person?

In the next moment, a sharp and cold feeling directly flowed into his brain. The Soul King's body swiftly moved to the right side, and then a long sword flew past his cheek. The chilling sword intent made him tremble in fear.

In the blink of an eye, the fifth purple soul ring on the black-robed Soul King's body gleamed, and he activated his fifth soul skill, Thorny Prison!

In the next moment, several sword lights flashed, and the broken thorny wall was cleaved in half by Zeng Yi. Zeng Yi's figure appeared in front of the black-robed Soul King.

Seeing Zeng Yi's indifferent and ruthless silver eyes, a wicked smile formed on the corners of the black-robed Soul King's mouth.

Instantly, dozens of sinister thorny vines quickly lashed out towards Zeng Yi with immense force, creating an explosive sound as they ripped through the air.

Zeng Yi stopped his attack on the black-robed Soul King and turned his blade, slashing at the incoming thorny vines.

Ronin Sword quickly swung, the sword intent was like the wind, and the sword light was like a shadow, cutting off the attacking thorny vines one by one.

During this time, the black-robed Soul King quickly retreated and reached the edge of the thorny prison. The thorny prison quickly opened a gap, allowing him to escape, and then the thorny vines writhed, closing the gap.

Dammit!

Seeing the Soul King escape from the thorny prison, Zeng Yi cursed inwardly. He stomped his feet with all his strength, and his body shot out like a rocket. Ronin Sword emitted a forceful and sharp aura, creating a surge of wind. The blade swung fiercely, ruthlessly striking the thorny wall.

The sharp sword strikes directly tore open a gap in the thorny wall, and Zeng Yi's figure instantly rushed out through the opening, pursuing the black-robed Soul King.

Zeng Yi broke through the thorny prison and appeared outside. However, he found that the ground around him was covered in thorns. The black-robed Soul King stood in front, looking at Zeng Yi with a sneer. The fourth soul ring on his body flickered, and his soul skill was activated!

In the next moment, the thorns on the ground instantly blossomed, releasing a purple mist. The mist quickly formed a thick fog, permeating the surrounding space.

This was his fourth soul skill, Thorny Poison Mist. Once someone inhaled this purple mist, they would be poisoned and their body would enter a paralyzed state.

Zeng Yi had entered the poisonous fog formation, and if he inhaled even a bit of the mist, the outcome would be decided.

Seeing the purple mist approaching rapidly, Zeng Yi didn't know that it was a soul skill, but he was clear about one thing: he couldn't let the mist come near him.

In Zeng Yi's opinion, it was ridiculous that someone would use this kind of mist-based soul skill to attack him.

Don't remember him being called the Hurricane Swordmaster?

The wind rises!

With a thought in his mind, a strong wind suddenly blew around Zeng Yi's body, howling and swirling around him, instantly dispersing the approaching purple mist.

Outside the mist, the black-robed Soul King looked at the sudden gust of wind with shock in his eyes. The gust of wind turned into a huge purple tornado, roaring and raging.

Damn! How could I forget that this person can control the wind!

Zeng Yi tightly gripped Ronin Sword with both hands as his figure burst forward towards the Soul King's position. The sword blade was imbued with a faint blue soul power, with all his soul power focused on this strike.

In the raging wind, the sword intent was fierce and ice-cold.

Watching the huge purple tornado rapidly approaching him, the black-robed Soul King's eyes were filled with horror. The furious wind roared, and the wind felt like sharp swords, enveloping him. It was as if he was pierced by countless swords.

With the speed of the wind, the sharpness of the blade emitted, it seemed capable of severing everything. Zeng Yi's silver eyes stared straight ahead, his momentum unstoppable and invincible.

Ronin Sword broke through the resistance of the air currents, tearing apart the turbulent winds. Even the space seemed to undergo a subtle distortion under the might of this powerful and sharp sword intent. The sword's path left behind a faint black line that disappeared in an instant.

Zeng Yi's speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, he approached the black-robed Soul King. The overpowering sword intent and raging winds pressed upon the Soul King.

As Zeng Yi got closer and suppressed him within his sword domain, the Soul King's soul power circulation and reaction slowed down. He felt as if his whole body was being shrouded by the sword's radiance, and even his soul trembled under the sharpness. The black-robed Soul King's expression was filled with shock and fear as he looked at Zeng Yi, while Zeng Yi's silver eyes, like the eyes of a grim reaper, coldly stared back at him.

Gale's End Slash!!!

"Thorny Wall!"

The Soul King shouted in panic, and numerous thorns shot up, instantly forming a thorny wall to block him.

Zeng Yi swung his sword with both hands, fiercely slashing at the thorny wall, effortlessly cutting through it as if it were tofu.

The more he slashed, the fiercer the momentum became!

"No!!!"

The black-robed Soul King exclaimed in horror. In his eyes, there was only this one sword. The sharpness and coldness of the sword blade in his pupils grew larger and larger, an unstoppable sword intent targeting his soul.

In an instant, the whole space was immersed in the brilliance of this sword, a fleeting moment.

Plop!

Zeng Yi's figure instantly passed through the Soul King's side, and in the next moment, a long blood flower splattered on the Soul King's body. Then, he weakly fell to the ground, his life force dissipating.

Soul King was dead!
