Chapter 1181: The End of This Battle

Xiao Binzi and Murong Xiao grew alarmed at once—their enemy was about to self-destruct! 

Then they heard the voices of two different people, voices that were infused with soulforce!

Soul attacks!

“Freeze!!”

“Chirp!!”

It was Bai Yunfei and Xiao Qi! They were planning to use a soul attack!

Two more soul attacks combined with Bai Yunfei and Xiao Qi to attack the Early-stage Soul Emperor. Slamming into him, the soul attacks forced his soulforce to come to an immediate freeze!

“Boom boom boom…”

Multiple beams of elemental energy struck the Soul Emperor shortly afterward. Mixed in with those attacks were several spatial tears to hopefully land the finishing blow on him.

No one could see the Soul Emperor within the dust explosion, but they could at least sense that he was dead since…his aura was gone!

Not even an Early-stage Soul Emperor was able to self-destruct when he wanted!

His death meant there was only one Soul Emperor left on the enemy side. On the Water School’s side were Xu Yuanying, Murong Xiao, Bai Yunfei, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Binzi…five Soul Emperors!

“Watch out if he tries to self-destruct, let’s make sure he doesn’t!”

Bai Yunfei called out to the others as they focused in on the last Mid-stage Soul Emperor. 

Killing the Soul Emperor wasn’t even a problem anymore. All they had to look out for was if the Soul Emperor would try to self-destruct… 

But for some reason, instead of being angry at what Bai Yunfei said, the Soul Emperor began to sneer!

“Bzz…”

Before anyone could move a muscle, they all began to feel a strange energy in their presence!

It was the Core Stone that alerted Bai Yunfei to the source—the spatial energy was starting to behave strangely a little far away from this place!

Bai Yunfei turned his head to the sky just in time to see an eerily red-colored light explode into the sky. It looked a bit like fire…no—that was the color of blood!

Not only could he sense the spatial energy being disturbed in that place, but Bai Yunfei could also sense the aura of a familiar person over there.

It was a little far away, but the Core Stone was telling him the source was to the…south!!

Realizing what direction that was, Bai Yunfei let out a loud gasp, “Ah’Kai!!”

Wasn’t that the direction Murong Xiao said Kou Tingting went to receive the reinforcements?! Zheng Kai was supposed to be heading that way!

Bai Yunfei felt like a heavy stone had been dropped in his stomach—something bad was about to happen!

“I have to go there immediately!”

Bai Yunfei made the preparation to change gears and fly toward that direction, but then a loud voice interrupted his thoughts!

“Ahh!!!”

The last remaining Soul Emperor from the Wind Lightning School began to howl furiously. The energy within his body materialized in the world as a maelstrom of elemental wind strong enough to uproot parts of the world and send them flying through the air.

“Quit your struggling!!”

Bai Yunfei yelled before ordering the others, “Attack him with a soul attack!!”

The others obeyed at once. Murong Xiao and Xu Yuanying circulated their soulforces to their cores at once before sending yet another two soul attacks!

At the same time, Murong Xiao and Xiao Qi launched soul attacks of their own!

“Freeze!!”

To make the Soul Emperor’s death certain, Bai Yunfei added a soul attack of his own!

Five soul attacks from five Soul Emperors were being launched all at once!

“Ahhh!!!”

A pain-filled scream echoed into the heavens!

The winds summoned by the Soul Emperor came to an immediate stop along with his soulforce!

“Whoosh!!”

A crimson-red light tore through the winds and broke apart the elemental wind toward the Soul Emperor!

Paradoxically, an obscene amount of power began to swell within the Soul Emperor even though he was frozen still. A maniacal grin appeared on his face as he tried to self-destruct.

The crimson streak of light came to a stop right in front of him at that exact moment, revealing Bai Yunfei to be inside. The Soul Sealing Mandate appeared in his hand before he slammed it forward!

“Seal!!”

“Bzz…”

The world came to a stop as a brilliant ball of white light exploded from the Soul Sealing Mandate and covered the Soul Emperor in it!

The Soul Emperor’s eyes widened—he knew what that white ball of light meant. He knew what the Soul Sealing Mandate was! Trying as hard as he might to dodge, the man found out that…he simply could not!

Under the awed eyes of everyone else, the Soul Sealing Mandate fully activated and sealed the Soul Emperor’s soulforce at once!

The Soul Emperor froze up at once. Not even a muscle on his face twitched. It was as if he was a statue frozen still in the sky.

“Whoosh!!”

Bai Yunfei moved closer to the Soul Emperor. The white light from the Soul Sealing Mandate was now gone, revealing the Soul Sealing Mandate to be stuck to the forehead of the Soul Emperor.

Without hesitation, he waved his hand to send both the Soul Sealing Mandate and the sealed Soul Emperor into the Core World.

And now that that was done, Bai Yunfei could begin to relax a bit. But instead of waiting around for the others, he shot up toward the south!

“Headmaster Murong, I’ll leave things here for you to finish!!”

He called out to Murong Xiao.

Everything else was already close to being finished up. Within seconds, Bai Yunfei was gone and the world was beginning to quiet down to an eerily silent degree.

It all happened so fast that some people didn’t even realize the Wind Lightning School’s last Soul Emperor had been kidnapped!

Murong Xiao looked around the battlefield to inspect its condition. After a while, he raised his hand to shout: “Kill them!!”

The finale of the war was finally here!

———————

Some time ago, while the battle over the Water School was taking place.

To the west.

“Boom boom boom boom…”

There was an earsplitting sound as thirty distinct streaks of light flew across the sky. About a dozen of those streaks of light were green and another few were blue. 

Soon, one of the streaks came crashing down to the ground… 

“Elder Wei!!”

Several people landed on the ground to help Wei Duhe to his feet. He was a mess right now with his face practically as pale as a ghost and his feet shaking beneath him. Letting out a cough, the man spat out a mouthful of blood!

He wasn’t the only one to be suffering. Everyone else was quite fatigued and injured. Some were even more injured than they were, and their energy was finally starting to run low.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…”

Several more streaks of light came to a stop nearby the group. They didn’t immediately move in to kill, but instead circled around them to prevent escape.

“Give up this pointless struggle and let yourself be captured. Do as we say or be killed!!”

A shriveled elder brayed from his position in the sky. His eyes moved from the injured elder Qu to Kou Tingting behind him. A glimmer of excitement appeared in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected Kou Tingting to be here, but she would make for a nice hostage. It was possible that she’d be of great ‘use’ in a particular area… 

Kou Tingting and her group made countless of attempts to escape from their pursuers, but they never succeeded. They were trapped for good now. Though their numbers were higher, they were up against three Late-stage Soul Kings and a Half-emperor, the Monster of Black Lightning. Elder Qu and Wei Duhe wouldn’t be enough to overcome this group.

The ones from the Wood School were horrified. They came here to provide assistance but instead fell prey to ambush before they even arrived…and to think they had underestimate their enemies.

“We’ll go with you, but promise us you’ll let these people go!”

Biting her lips in frustration, Kou Tingting called out to the elder to begin negotiations.
