Chapter 409 - 409: Killing the Shadow Master! (1)
If he was at his peak, he was not afraid, even if the other party had such a powerful black flame that had a great restraining effect. However, the heavy injuries he had suffered previously caused him to have less than 10% of his strength left.
Especially when it was his soul that was injured!
To Martial Soul Realm experts, the damage to the soul was far more fatal than the damage to the body. Because to them, soul power was their main power at this stage. Once their souls were injured, their soul power would be greatly weakened, directly affecting their combat strength.
The injuries on his body did not affect his combat strength much. For example, the Martial Soul Realm cultivator that Xiao Shi had killed back then. Even if his hands were broken by Xiao Shi, he could still condense soul power in his hands and attack. But if his soul was damaged, his combat strength would be greatly reduced.
The strength that the Shadow Master could unleash now was less than half of his peak state. He could not use many of his powerful killing moves. The power of the spiritual sense attack was greatly weakened.
At this critical juncture, the Shadow Master used his spiritual sense attack again. The spiritual sense attack he used this time was not as powerful as before. Instead, it made Xiao Shi’s body seem to have fallen into a swamp. It was as if he was going against the wind, and every move he made would be greatly resisted.
As a result, his speed slowed down. The Shadow Master took the opportunity to dodge Xiao Shi’s punch. His face was as pale as paper, and he was panting as he tried his best to endure the excruciating pain.
With his current injuries, he could no longer use his spiritual sense attacks frequently. The more he used it, the worse his injuries would be.
According to his initial thoughts, he only needed to sweep his spiritual sense to instantly suppress Luo Jun and Tong Binhong, even though he was seriously injured. Although this Martial Soul Realm’s Body Tempering cultivator could not be directly suppressed with his spiritual sense, he could also instantly heavily injure him and easily deal with him with his spiritual sense attack.
In his early plan, he only needed to use his spiritual sense twice to end everything. Therefore, even though he was heavily injured, he had enough confidence to suppress Xiao Shi and the other two. He originally thought that these three Martial Soul Realm experts would not be able to cause much trouble.
It was a beautiful thought. Yet, the reality was very cruel. Until now, he still did not understand, why could the other party block his spiritual sense attack?
Through fighting Xiao Shi, he could tell that the other party’s strength was only comparable to the Soul Awakening Stage of the Martial Soul Realm. Even if a Body Tempering cultivator at this stage had powerful soul power resistance, it was impossible for them to withstand a spiritual sense attack.
After all, there was a difference in strength and cultivation. However, the spiritual sense attack he had used previously only cracked the other party’s skin. It did not severely injure him as he had imagined.
He did not expect the other party to have a strange and powerful black flame either. He had suppressed the black flames that had seeped into his body, but using his spiritual sense repeatedly had already begun to worsen his injuries.
Therefore, the Shadow Master did not hesitate at all. Taking advantage of the speed suppression brought by his spiritual sense on Xiao Shi, he instantly retracted the white hair that enveloped them.
He was not prepared to continue fighting. It was not worth it if he continued fighting.
“Even if I let them temporarily become independent, it won’t be a big problem. When my injuries recover, it will be easy to suppress them!” The Shadow Master knew the pros and cons and did not go overboard.
Although the other party was very fast, he was confident that he could escape back to the Swift Shadow Palace with the speed suppression caused by his spiritual sense.
He did not hesitate at all. After retracting his white hair, he immediately prepared to escape. Just as he retracted his white hair and was about to run at full speed, his expression suddenly changed.
He was shocked to discover that outside the ball wrapped in white hair, there was actually a ball formed by many vines.
“He had long expected that 1 would not be a match for him, so he had already formed another ball outside the ball I had formed to prevent me from escaping!” The Shadow Master’s mind trembled violently. He realized that the other party had already planned everything when he attacked.
This was a trap that the other party had carefully set up.
He charged towards the ball formed by the branches of the many tree vines in front of him with all his might. At the cost of his injuries becoming more serious, he used a powerful attack with his spiritual sense to bombard the wall in front of him, trying to break it open.
However, this spherical wall formed by many vines was incomparably firm. Even if he added his spiritual sense to the powerful attack, it was difficult to shake it. His injuries worsened again.
Crack!
The space between his eyebrows split open. The pain of his soul being torn apart made his vision blur, and his mind became unfocused.
The worst part being was after he used this attack, it was difficult for him to maintain the suppression of his spiritual sense on Xiao Shi’s speed.
Without the speed suppression brought about by his spiritual sense, Xiao Shi instantly caught up from behind. The Flame Fist that was filled with black Yin flames struck out as fast as lightning. It accurately struck the Shadow Master’s heart.
Pfft!
The black flame fist directly burned through the Shadow Master’s chest and pierced through his back. The black Yin flames that seeped into his body instantly burned the Shadow Master’s body into a pile of bones..
