Chapter 341 - 338: Soul Power Duel
Soul attacks, unlike physical ones, can’t be defended against by sheer bodily strength, especially when they come unexpectedly. The effectiveness of a soul attack is particularly evident under such circumstances. The scene just now was the perfect proof: cloaked in black, the assailant caught a Seventh Grade Demon King-level peak expert, Qin Chuan, off guard and inflicted severe damage.
Had it been a normal attack, even an ambush, such a significant victory would have been impossible.
"Well done, Elder Jingzhe."
Seeing Qin Chuan sent flying backward, the Demon Beast let out a grin, turning its attention to the black-clothed figure. The man’s identity was revealed to be that of a peculiar-looking old man with a sharp chin and ash-colored skin, devoid of any signs of life. Yet, his small eyes, flickering with light, conveyed a deeply dangerous aura.
"Let’s make it quick. If we fail this operation, both of us will be to blame," the black-clothed elder said, squinting his eyes emotionlessly.
"No problem, let’s finish him off now."
The Demon Beast nodded. With Qin Chuan severely injured by Elder Jingzhe, it would hardly take any effort to dispatch his opponent.
Having Elder Jingzhe lie in wait was part of the Demon Beast’s strategy, perfectly planned for contingencies. If the enemy wasn’t strong, he could handle them himself without Elder Jingzhe’s intervention. But against a formidable foe, an ambush by Elder Jingzhe, a master of soul attacks, was almost foolproof.
Such a battle plan was close to perfect, leaving little chance for failure.
Elder Jingzhe, in his true form, was a Jingzhe Beast with immense natural talent in soul power. Having reached the Xuan Realm in the Soul Realm, his innate skills made ambushing a Seventh Grade Demon King all too easy.
"Despicable scoundrel," Qin Chuan clutched his chest, his face deathly pale. The recent soul attack had left him seriously injured, causing a headache so intense that only his unyielding spirit allowed him to stand again.
