Kong Deming was utterly shocked. As Wang Chen's teacher, he knew him well.
He clearly remembered that the last time he instructed Wang Chen, the boy was still climbing halfway up the mountain. Yet in such a short time, he now stood at the peak, no less than himself.
This rate of progress was simply too fast. Looking at Wang Chen, Kong Deming felt particularly old—the future belonged to the young.
Seeing Wang Chen at a disadvantage, Kong Deming immediately urged his soul power. The performance of his peak level-9 flight soul tool was pushed to the extreme, covering the ten kilometers in an instant.
Kong Deming shouted, "Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, have you two gone mad? You dare attack this old man's disciple?!"
Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao also noticed Kong Deming's arrival and inwardly cursed their luck. Kong Deming's strength was in no way inferior to either of them.
With Kong Deming here to support, taking down Wang Chen was now impossible.
Wang Chen, seeing Kong Deming arrive, let out a sigh of relief. Though his entanglement with the two Limit Douluo, Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, had been brief, it consumed an enormous amount of his soul power.
He had already detonated six of his hundred-thousand-year soul rings. If the fight continued, he would have to explode his million-year soul ring and the four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's first soul ring to find a way to break out and escape.
Long Xiaoyao said to Ye Xishui, "Xishui, Kong Deming is here. We can't kill Wang Chen today. Withdraw."
Ye Xishui, looking at Wang Chen, whose soul power was more than half depleted and who was not lightly injured, said unwillingly, "Wang Chen can only maintain Limit Douluo-level combat power through the ring explosion secret art. After the earlier battle's consumption, he won't last much longer. You deal with Wang Chen and kill him; I'll hold off Kong Deming."
With that, Ye Xishui charged toward Kong Deming.
Seeing Ye Xishui insist, Long Xiaoyao could only attack Wang Chen.
Kong Deming, seeing that Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao still refused to stop, turned cold. Without wasting words, he drew his strongest soul tool: the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.
A silver moon rose into the sky, reflecting the surrounding space. The silver radiance even dimmed the sun overhead.
The next moment, the silver moon burst with brilliant light, instantly expanding into a silver-white spatial light shield that closed in on Ye Xishui.
As a Limit Douluo, Ye Xishui was extremely sensitive to spatial power. She clearly felt the silver-white shield merge with space, forming a spatial cage to bind her within.
Ye Xishui snorted, "You think you can bind me?"
She immediately activated the Death God Tower, firing Death God's Light straight at the silver-white shield, clearly intending to shatter the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.
Wherever Death God's Light passed, countless pitch-black spatial rifts appeared.
Facing Death God's Light, Kong Deming calmly said, "Ye Xishui, many parts of your Death God Tower were made by me. Using the Death God Tower against me is truly laughable."
Kong Deming controlled the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield and abruptly contracted it. A silver-white spatial vortex appeared in front of Death God's Light.
The moment Death God's Light touched the spatial vortex, it vanished like a stone sinking into the sea, without the slightest ripple.
The next instant, Kong Deming shouted, "Go!"
With his explosive shout, Death God's Light—which had disappeared into the spatial vortex—reappeared, now aimed at Ye Xishui herself.
This was the greatest profound mystery of Kong Deming's Silver Moon Divine Light Shield: using spatial power to redirect an enemy's attack into space, then releasing it back.
Ye Xishui watched her own Death God's Light returned by Kong Deming, her expression turning ugly. Her soul cores spun frantically, uniting essence, energy, and spirit as she struck with a palm.
A surging sea of blood poured from her body, colliding with Death God's Light.
At the center of the collision, a pitch-black void emerged. The surrounding space cracked like a spiderweb under the terrifying force.
With an explosion, the sea of blood collapsed. The residual energy of Death God's Light turned into a shockwave that swept toward Ye Xishui.
Her body shuddered, the blood color on her dimming slightly. She was pushed back dozens of meters by the aftermath of Death God's Light.
Ye Xishui gave Kong Deming a wary glance, then silently put away the Death God Tower.
Compared to Kong Deming's Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, her Death God Tower was far inferior in technical sophistication. Moreover, each activation of Death God's Light required a massive number of souls. After a few uses, her soul reserves were nearly depleted.
Kong Deming looked at Ye Xishui coldly. "Ye Xishui, does your Holy Spirit Cult intend to tear up the agreement and declare war on our Sun Moon Empire?"
Ye Xishui's eyes flashed with blood light. "Kong Deming, your disciple Wang Chen killed my people. I will kill him. If you protect your calf, I'll kill you too!"
"Boastful!" Kong Deming opened his palm. A silver-white full moon appeared in his hand, and a violent spatial vortex swept toward Ye Xishui.
Facing the spatial vortex, Ye Xishui transformed into a blood shadow, merging into space and engaging Kong Deming in combat.
Ye Xishui thought to herself, "Kong Deming far surpasses me in soul tools, but his cultivation is too weak—only level 94 soul power.
Without the soul mentor legion's assistance, he lacks the decisive power to defeat me. I only need to entangle Kong Deming until Xiaoyao kills Wang Chen."
Kong Deming also knew he couldn't defeat Ye Xishui alone, but he was in no hurry—the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Mentor Legion would arrive soon.
While Ye Xishui and Kong Deming were locked in combat, Wang Chen and Long Xiaoyao fought fiercely.
The thousand-meter dragon that Long Xiaoyao had become opened its maw, spewing a dark dragon breath hundreds of meters thick at Wang Chen.
Everything the dark dragon breathed was dyed black, even space itself.
Wang Chen's weapon soul's first six hundred-thousand-year soul rings had all been detonated, so this time he directly exploded the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's first soul ring.
The terrifying power of the four-hundred-thousand-year soul ring flooded Wang Chen's body, expanding and even tearing his meridians while elevating his strength to its peak.
With this power, Wang Chen swept his spear, directly tearing apart the dark dragon's breath. He then teleported, rapidly closing in on Long Xiaoyao.
Long Xiaoyao, seeing Wang Chen approach, immediately realized he intended to use Spatial Imprisonment. He attacked while flapping his dragon wings, trying to widen the distance.
But under the boost of the four-hundred-thousand-year soul ring, Wang Chen's strength surpassed his. All his attacks were shattered.
Coupled with the extreme speed of teleportation, Long Xiaoyao could only watch helplessly as the distance between him and Wang Chen shrank.
Long Xiaoyao, chased and beaten by Wang Chen, fumed inwardly, "I've never been this humiliated in my life. Where does this Wang Chen get so many high-year soul rings to explode? Is there any justice left?"
Long Xiaoyao cursed inwardly, then used various methods to disrupt the surrounding space, attempting to weaken Spatial Imprisonment's power.
At the same time, he deployed multiple defensive soul skills, planning to rely on the Dark Holy Dragon's robust physique to withstand Wang Chen's attacks once imprisoned.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Chen closed to within five hundred meters of Long Xiaoyao—at this range, Spatial Imprisonment's power could be maximized.
Without hesitation, Wang Chen activated Spatial Imprisonment!
Long Xiaoyao was directly frozen mid-air, reduced to a living target for Wang Chen's attacks.
The next moment, amid Ye Xishui's scream, Long Xiaoyao's dragon body was pierced straight through by a spear light hundreds of meters long!
