Chapter 1301 1212: Fifth Soul Skill
Seeing Bai Xiaozhan's corpse lying on the ground, Bai Gong and a few other Demon Venerables were completely dumbfounded. None of them had expected that in just the blink of an eye, Bai Xiaozhan, who was known as the number one in the Initial Tier Demon Venerable, would die right in front of them.
Only Meng Ao and his two grandsons couldn't help but shiver, suddenly recalling the terrifying situation when they battled Wang Yan. Wang Yan's combat power was still as terrifying as ever.
Bai Gong's eyes were wide open, and the three strands of white beard under his chin were all sticking up with anger.
Bai Xiaozhan was Bai Gong's disciple and his right-hand man. Now that Bai Xiaozhan was dead, his power was effectively weakened by a large piece.
Bai Gong was so regretful that even his intestines turned green.
Although Bai Gong had considered the possibility of Bai Xiaozhan failing, he thought that even if Bai Xiaozhan lost in his presence, he would have the chance to strike and rescue him.
Who would have thought that Wang Yan wouldn't even give him a chance to intervene?
This was truly a case of losing both soldiers and bride.
Bai Gong roared, "I will kill you."
With that said, Bai Gong was about to pounce on Wang Yan.
But at this moment, Wang Yan raised a hand and said, "Wait a moment."
Bai Gong widened his eyes, stopped, and stared at Wang Yan, shouting, "What for?"
Wang Yan did not answer Bai Gong. Instead, he raised his hand, and the Soul-Breaking Spear appeared in his hand.
The spear's tip quivered, and a trace of black light flashed from the black Gun Sakura, enveloping Bai Xiaozhan's corpse.
Then, Bai Xiaozhan's illusory soul was abruptly extracted from the body, struggling yet being drawn into the black Gun Sakura.
After collecting Bai Xiaozhan's soul, Wang Yan waved his hand to store the Soul-Breaking Spear into the Starlight Ring, and then he said to Bai Gong, "It's done."
It turned out, the reason Wang Yan had stopped Bai Gong was to collect Bai Xiaozhan's soul.
Seeing this, Bai Gong was so angry that his eyes almost bulged.
Originally, Bai Xiaozhan dying right in front of him was enough to infuriate Bai Gong.
Now Wang Yan even took Bai Xiaozhan's soul right in front of him while he stood there foolishly waiting.
This was undoubtedly blatant provocation!
Wang Yan's ongoing disregard thoroughly enraged Bai Gong.
Bai Gong let out a furious roar, and his entire cultivation erupted skyward, with the pressure of a Demon Venerable charging straight at Wang Yan.
Seeing Bai Gong's outburst, everyone around couldn't withstand Bai Gong's cultivation shock and retreated one after another.
As they retreated, everyone sighed for Wang Yan.
After all, no matter how strong Wang Yan was, there was no way he could withstand the pressure of a High-Tier Demon Venerable. The gap in cultivation was like a chasm.
Sure enough, under Bai Gong's immense pressure, the space around Wang Yan seemed to freeze, rendering Wang Yan himself unable to move.
Bai Gong snorted coldly and said, "A mere clown, only worthy of one move from me."
As he spoke, Bai Gong pressed down fiercely with one palm, intending to crush Wang Yan into mincemeat with a single strike.
Just as Wang Yan seemed unable to dodge, his body flickered, and suddenly a blue light flew out, suspended above his head.
With the emergence of the blue light, Wang Yan's entire aura surged, and he unexpectedly broke free from Bai Gong's pressure, disappearing from the original spot in an instant.
Bai Gong's strike landed in vain.
Everyone was astounded.
With just Initial Tier Demon Venerable cultivation, Wang Yan managed to escape a full-force strike from a High-Tier Demon Venerable. It was simply too incredible.
At this moment, everyone looked around.
There, a hundred meters away, Wang Yan reappeared in physical form.
Upon seeing Wang Yan, everyone's attention was caught by the Demon Pattern on top of Wang Yan's head.
Above Wang Yan's head was a blue Gray Wolf, surrounded by five Soul Stars.
The last Soul Star was a dazzling purple.
Seeing the purple Soul Star, everyone was shocked, showing a look of astonishment.
Now, everyone finally understood why Meng Ao lost to Wang Yan and why Wang Yan was able to dodge Bai Gong's strike.
It turned out, Wang Yan's trump card was this Divine Tier Soul Star.
However, the surrounding Demon Venerables were shaking their heads, sighing that Wang Yan couldn't hold his ground. Now that he had revealed all his cards, Bai Gong would have no reservations and would probably attack with full force.
But upon reconsidering, to flee under Bai Gong's fierce assault, Wang Yan had no other choice but to reveal his Divine Tier Soul Star.
Although Meng Ao's trio knew Wang Yan's background, they remained silent, hoping Wang Yan and Bai Gong would both suffer, allowing them to benefit.
Indeed, after a brief pause, Bai Gong immediately sneered and said, "Now I finally understand your entire trump card. This is better; I don't have to worry anymore. Although you have a Divine Soul's Soul Star, it only raises your realm by one tier at most. For me, it's still not enough."
Bai Gong was right, the Divine Tier Soul Star was too powerful, and Wang Yan couldn't fully harness it.
Therefore, with the assistance of this Divine Tier Soul Star, Wang Yan's cultivation was only raised by one tier, equivalent to the Mid-Tier Demon Venerable, but still couldn't defeat Bai Gong.
At this point, Bai Gong attacked Wang Yan without reservation again.
Wang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Though I can't defeat you, you also can't hit me."
As he spoke, Wang Yan's body flickered and vanished from the original spot, reappearing several hundred meters away, causing Bai Gong's second move to miss again.
Bai Gong's body didn't pause, continuing to chase Wang Yan.
But whenever Bai Gong closed in on Wang Yan, Wang Yan would instantly disappear, reappearing several hundred meters away.
This was Wang Yan continuously using the Soul Skill "Shadow Shifting," making even Bai Gong unable to catch up with Wang Yan.
Bai Gong launched dozens of attacks in succession, all easily dodged by Wang Yan.
Although Bai Gong was confident that if he landed a strike on Wang Yan, he would kill him.
But Wang Yan was like a slippery eel, out of his grasp; not to mention hitting Wang Yan, Bai Gong couldn't even touch his clothes.
Bai Gong grew more anxious, firstly because his dozen of attacks yielded no results, affecting his reputation as a High-Tier Demon Venerable; secondly, Bai Gong feared that if he dragged on, other Demon Venerables might assist Wang Yan, and Nanyang County would not be his alone.
At this thought, Bai Gong's body halted immediately, pointing at Wang Yan, saying, "Kid, even if you're a Demon Venerable, can't you just stop running?"
Wang Yan flickered and stopped a few hundred meters away, saying, "You attack me, so I naturally flee, unless I attack you, then I won't run."
Hearing Wang Yan's words, Bai Gong's eyes lit up, feeling that Wang Yan had been provoked.
Immediately Bai Gong said, "Fine, I'll stand here without moving, let you attack me, how about that?"
Feigning surprise, Wang Yan said, "You're really not afraid of my Fifth Soul Skill?"
Bai Gong had witnessed Wang Yan's Fifth Soul Skill, Earth Covering, which, while strong, could only kill Bai Xiaozhan, an Initial Tier Demon Venerable, not worth his concern.
Once Wang Yan used a Soul Skill, Bai Gong could take the opportunity to counterattack, killing Wang Yan in one fell swoop.
But outwardly, Bai Gong ignored the pretense of seriousness and said, "Your Soul Skill is indeed strong, but I still want to try."
Looking as if accepting this move was quite difficult for Bai Gong.
Apparently fooled by Bai Gong's external deception, Wang Yan hastily said, "Fine, now come take my Fifth Soul Skill. Be careful, my Fifth Soul Skill is strong."
Hearing this, Bai Gong rejoiced inwardly, immediately preparing to counterattack.
However, he didn't notice that when Wang Yan spoke the words "Fifth Soul Skill," his tone had increased slightly.
