Chapter 301 Battle Against the Holy Spirit Cult 4
With Electrolux's intervention, Bebe's problem was resolved relatively easily. However, Bebe's experience once again served as a stark warning to everyone about the bizarre combat power of evil spirit masters. No one expected that the evil spirit master Hun Yan, despite being affected by the backlash of her spirit skill, could directly achieve the effect of a blood sacrifice for her martial soul, effectively trapping Bebe. If it weren't for Bebe's martial soul's ability to dispel evil, even with Electrolux on the Tang Sect's side, those who were affected would likely have been weakened for a considerable period.
With everyone's attention focused on the match on the Soul Arena, the match between He Caitou and Cain, the captain of the Holy Spirit Cult and a Bloodthirsty Bat Soul Saint, had already begun. Knowing that his mission was simply to probe the enemy's strength and that it would be difficult to gain much advantage against this Bloodthirsty Bat Soul Saint, who had transformed into a streak of crimson light, He Caitou simply turned himself into a fortress.
Compared to the close-fitting battle armor and the limited height of the soul-guided powered armor, this time He Caitou directly used a soul-guided powered mecha that was a full ten meters tall. Centered on the mecha, He Caitou set up a Thunder Hell with a radius of three meters. There was no way around it; the Bloodthirsty Bat Soul Saint's speed was too fast. Even with the fully automatic anti-aircraft firepower combat system composed of detection soul tools and self-tracking soul tools, He Caitou was unable to launch an effective attack.
To achieve victory now, we must force this Bloodthirsty Bat Soul Saint to slow down, or unleash a super attack that can cover the entire field.
The former, Thunder Hell, with its inherent exorcising and paralyzing effects, is already the most suitable method in He Caitou's hands. As long as the Bloodthirsty Bat Soul Saint enters the range of Thunder Hell, the detection soul tool can clearly capture her figure, and at the same time, the attack soul tool on the auxiliary intelligent control mech will fire.
The latter, an attack that covers the entire field, requires charging up, and the lightning of Thunder Hell can just cover up the light of He Caitou's constantly charging soul power.
Two minutes passed, and the Bloodthirsty Bat Soul Saint, who had been circling around the Thunder Hell set up by He Caitou and launching probing attacks from multiple directions from time to time, stopped. Having lost more than a dozen small Bloodthirsty Bat avatars, the Holy Spirit Cult's captain had clearly figured out that the tortoise shell set up by He Caitou could not be penetrated by speed and basic attacks alone; victory had to be won by brute force.
Of course, considering the issue of soul power consumption, even without much knowledge of soul tools, Cain knew that for a Soul Emperor like He Caitou to set up such a soul tool array would consume far more soul power than he would just be circling around. If he spent a little more time there, He Caitou would definitely have no choice but to admit defeat.
But that kind of victory was unacceptable! For Cain, while the Holy Spirit Cult lacked camaraderie and he didn't need to avenge the two trailblazers, the Holy Spirit Cult itself was a place where the strong ruled and the weak were preyed upon. If he couldn't demonstrate sufficient strength and power, who knew what awaited him? The title of Saintess, while bringing her more abundant cultivation resources, also brought with it the covetous eyes of countless wolves.
Taking a deep breath, and confirming that he had stopped and that Cai Tou had no intention of attacking further, Cain summoned a massive bat phantom behind him. He unleashed his fourth soul skill, Blood Feast, enveloping Cain in a thick cloud of blood. The stench of blood instantly filled the entire battle arena, even penetrating the soul energy barrier surrounding it. Immediately afterward, his fifth soul ring began to glow, and the blood-red bat phantom transformed into tentacles powerful enough to make anyone's sanity drop, flashing towards the Thunder Hell that had been cleaved open by a blood-red scythe.
Although the probing attack hadn't injured He Caitou, Cain had indeed determined He Caitou's location and temporary immobility. Despite the annoying lightning of Thunder Hell and the seemingly sturdy metal armor, Cain was confident in his attack. With the Blood Feast's enhancement, the corrosive power of the Shadow Touch would double. Even the soul-guided energy barrier protecting the arena could be completely corroded within a minute.
Regardless of what He Caitou was doing, or what powerful move he was preparing, Cain believed that the metal armor could not provide He Caitou with the complete protection he imagined. Through the not-yet-fully-recovered Thunder Hell, Cain noticed that He Caitou was using the attacks that had just wiped out more than a dozen of his small bloodthirsty bats on Shadow Touch. However, compared to the fragile small bloodthirsty bats, Shadow Touch was completely unaffected by these attacks and was still rapidly approaching He Caitou's location.
[Success] X2. As the game progressed to this point, both Cain and He Caitou tacitly shouted "Success" in their hearts at the same time.
As Cain watched as Thunder Hell began to shrink in order to resist the attack of the Shadow Touch, increasing the intensity and density of the lightning, but the Shadow Touch's trajectory was not affected at all, Cain felt reassured and transformed into a blood-red light once again, using a blood-red scythe to cleave Thunder Hell open and pursue the Shadow Touch to launch a decisive attack on He Cai Tou.
Meanwhile, He Caitou's ultimate move—Holy Light Judgment Sword Domain—has already started charging. Given Cain's proximity, even with his incredible speed, he must still take enough damage.
"chichi"
While he was thinking, the touch of shadow had begun to erode the last line of defense that He Caitou had set up with his mech. Moreover, Cain himself had followed. Knowing that he had no more time to charge up, He Caitou stopped being greedy and released countless phantoms of holy light swords through the cannons on the soul-guided power mech.
This set of soul-guided mecha attack system was newly created by He Caitou after he arrived in Mingdu and confirmed that the Tang Sect would eventually fight against the evil soul master organization Holy Spirit Cult. He consulted with Long You about a lot of knowledge about array-type soul tools. To normal soul masters, this is just an ordinary domain-type soul skill effect, but if the opponent is an evil soul master, the more bloodshed they have, the higher the damage of the holy light sword in the domain.
"Zi La"
Driven by the Holy Light Judgment Sword Domain, the Thunder Hell, which had been dissipating, transformed into the Holy Light Thunder Hell. The Shadow Touch, which was about to break through He Caitou's defense, was rapidly dissolving. In other words, Cain himself sensed the danger before He Caitou launched his attack and retreated immediately, avoiding the first wave of the Holy Light Judgment Sword Domain.
However, they only managed to avoid the first wave of attacks. Both were incredibly fast, and Cai Tou's all-encompassing, soul-power-hungry attacks were a natural counter to Cain, a fragile assassin.
The burning pain of the holy light penetrated straight to the soul, but Cain's strength was ultimately superior. After paying a price, he distanced himself from the Holy Light Judgment Sword Domain, which was now powerless to continue.
