As more and more people became parasitized by the vine seeds, the number of subordinates under Anna's command grew. They fought bravely against the enemy, and very quickly, they successfully escorted Ye Lingling to the front of the Star Luo Saint Tiger.
"Mass Healing!"
Upon reaching the Star Luo Saint Tiger's side, Ye Lingling let out a tender cry. Simultaneously, her soul ring bloomed with light, emitting a gentle stream of pinkish-blue radiance that shot directly into the massive tiger.
Under the amplification of Ning Wenze's soul skill, the effectiveness of Ye Lingling's healing was nearly doubled. As that soft light merged into the Star Luo Saint Tiger, the injuries sustained by the trio led by Davis recovered rapidly. In just a short moment, they were restored to their peak condition.
Feeling his injuries vanish, the Star Luo Saint Tiger suddenly turned its head, clearly seeing Anna and Ye Lingling. Davis laughed, "It's Nana and Lingling; they really are capable!"
Zhu Zhuyun smiled faintly, her laughter ringing out like silver bells. She evaluated with a face full of gratification, "Of course! During the time you were away, this child Nana has grown a lot! In terms of comprehensive strength, the current her is not inferior to Sister Zhuqing! Moreover, even Royal Father and Grandpa Tianxing have said that with Nana's talent, she is extremely likely to become the youngest Titled Douluo in the history of the continent!"
Davis did not doubt this point at all; Anna was extremely likely to break his records. One had to realize that the current Anna was only twelve years old, yet she was already a six-ring Soul Emperor.
Furthermore, Anna's strength was far more than just this. Just half a month ago, Davis had given her a grand gift, one sufficient to raise her strength to the next level! This matter was something Davis hadn't told anyone; it was a secret between him and Anna.
Now that the trio's injuries were fully healed, it was time to slaughter all directions!
"From now on, the offense and defense have switched!"
Davis laughed excitedly. A soul ring floated above the Star Luo Saint Tiger, blooming with blood-red light, and Davis's explosive shout rang out from within the beast's mouth.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Power of the Earth!"
Boom—
Before his voice had even faded, the Star Luo Saint Tiger manipulated the power of the earth to attack. In an instant, countless earth spikes, sharp as spears, rose violently from the ground, stabbing toward the charging Heaven Dou cavalry.
Pu pu pu…
In a split second, the sound of spears piercing flesh was incessant. The current Heaven Dou City had seemingly turned into a living hell. Hundreds and thousands of Heaven Dou cavalrymen were pierced through by the sharp spikes, leaving behind massive bloody holes in their bodies. Blood flowed without ceasing, and they eventually died in agony from excessive blood loss.
As the Star Luo Saint Tiger continued to unleash the Power of the Earth soul skill, more and more earth spikes jutted out from underground, inflicting heavy losses on the Heaven Dou cavalry.
In a short while, over ten thousand cavalrymen had died miserably upon the rising spikes, and the casualty count was still skyrocketing by hundreds every second.
Meanwhile, Anna wasn't idle either. While releasing vine seeds to control the Soul Masters hiding among the cavalry, she was absorbing their soul power and simultaneously controlling them to fight. She forced the enemies to kill each other. Her kill count and speed were surprisingly not inferior to the formidable Star Luo Saint Tiger.
"Damn it! I didn't expect this little girl to possess such bizarre abilities!"
Xue Qinghe frowned deeply upon seeing this situation. He gripped his horsewhip tightly as tyrannical soul power surged into the sky. He knew that he had to make a move! Otherwise, if this continued, these fifty thousand Heaven Dou cavalrymen would likely be completely annihilated. Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe hesitated no longer and released his Martial Soul to strike!
As he released soul power filled with a holy aura, a pair of golden wings looking exactly like an angel's abruptly unfolded. Xue Qinghe flew into the air. Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—seven soul rings emerged in sequence and floated quietly beneath his feet.
"First Soul Skill: Angelic Assault!"
Xue Qinghe shouted lightly, though his voice was extremely soft. Amidst the chaos of the battlefield, no one else could hear him at all.
Xue Qinghe flew through the air, turning into an afterimage as he charged toward Anna. His speed was as fast as lightning! His speed actually surpassed that of ordinary Agility Attack System Soul Masters. Even the Swift-Tail Rain Swallow Soul Masters of the Speed Clan might not be able to surpass him at the same level.
While sprinting, holy energy condensed on his fists, and he punched straight toward Anna's face!
However, Anna was no pushover. The Evil Spirit Eye drastically enhanced her dynamic vision, and she caught a glimpse of Xue Qinghe's raid in her peripheral vision.
"Crown Prince Xue Qinghe…"
Seeing his menacing approach, Anna was startled. Her fingers twitched slightly, and a Bat Soul Ancestor instantly flew in front of her, acting as a human shield to block Xue Qinghe's attack.
"Naive!"
Xue Qinghe's speed did not decrease. He smashed a fist into the Bat Soul Ancestor's chest, and holy energy immediately surged into the man's body.
Just as the Evil attribute transcends the Darkness attribute, Xue Qinghe's Holy attribute transcends the Light attribute. It possesses a restraining effect on Evil, Darkness, and even other attributes of soul power, capable of melting and purifying the soul power of other Soul Masters.
And this Bat Soul Ancestor happened to be a Darkness attribute Soul Master.
As Xue Qinghe's fist struck his chest, holy energy poured into his internal organs, purifying his darkness soul power and causing the Bat Soul Ancestor to scream repeatedly.
"Your Highness! Prince, save me! I can't control myself, ah…"
The Bat Soul Ancestor wailed in agony, yet Xue Qinghe's expression remained icy. He ignored the pleas and continued to infuse holy energy, as if he intended to kill him. This made the Bat Soul Ancestor's heart turn to ash as he awaited the arrival of the Grim Reaper.
However, although it was excruciatingly painful, Xue Qinghe did not kill him. Instead, that stream of pure holy energy acted like fire, burning the parasitic vine inside the Bat Soul Ancestor's body to ashes!
"What?!"
Abruptly, Anna's expression changed drastically. She suddenly sensed that the parasitic vine within the Bat Soul Ancestor's body had been dissolved.
"I… I'm still alive…"
The Bat Soul Ancestor, freed from the pain, let out a sigh of relief. He moved his body involuntarily and, discovering he could move freely, his face immediately filled with wild joy. Knowing it was Xue Qinghe who had saved him, he hurriedly knelt and thanked him.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life!"
"It matters not. Go and help the others. Once the matter is settled, you will be heavily rewarded!"
"As you command! This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness!"
After saying this, the Bat Soul Ancestor charged toward the patrol army led by Prince Xue Xing to kill. To repay Xue Qinghe for saving his life, he fought bravely, and in just a few moments, dozens of patrol soldiers had died tragically at his hands.
"How is this possible? You actually dissolved my parasitic vine!"
"Hmph, to actually use such methods that exterminate humanity…"
Xue Qinghe looked at Anna with disdain, his eyes filled with chilling killing intent. He spoke coldly, "I thought you were just an ordinary little girl. I didn't expect that at such a young age, your methods would be so vicious. It seems you have fallen into the demonic path under Davis's influence. Today, this Crown Prince will execute you right here to uphold justice! Although it is cruel, I will absolutely not allow a fallen one like you to survive!"
As he spoke, an invisible pressure was suddenly released. Even Anna felt a sense of oppression she had never experienced before.
However, Anna showed no fear at all. Instead, she revealed a cruel smile, walking further and further down the path of an Evil Soul Master.
"Hehe, you want to kill me? It won't be that easy!"
As her voice fell, dozens of puppet Soul Masters slowly appeared in front of Anna to intercept Xue Qinghe!
"Solve them first before you talk big!"
