Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 49 Little Black Awakens

"What, you still want to join the battle over there?" Xue Di came to her side and looked into the distance with her. "I advise you to calm down."

"...Let's take a look first." Qian Renxue said in a low voice, then silently began to absorb the negative energy in the battlefield, while using her mental power to observe the final battle situation.

The battle just now looked heroic, but in reality, it had almost depleted her soul power, leaving only a small portion of her abundant spiritual power remaining.

The high-level battle not far away had already reached a fever pitch. Shrek Academy's side was led by a Soul Saint with five student eggs, while the Holy Spirit Cult's side was also led by a Soul Saint with three Soul Emperors. Although outnumbered, the evil Soul Master's bizarre fighting methods and skills still caused considerable trouble for the Shrek Academy team.

But they are students from Shrek Academy! They have always believed in one principle: Shrek Academy is invincible among its peers!

Although the lower-level battlefield had been lost, Sikong Qi felt that the blonde girl who had suddenly gone berserk was probably exhausted. As long as he won the battle against the higher-level Soul Masters, he could kill her.

As long as my mission succeeds, I don't care who she is. Anyone who blocks my path is courting death!

At this moment, the Holy Envoy of the Holy Spirit Cult also discovered that more than half of his disciples had been killed or wounded. He was furious and immediately ignited his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body!

An overwhelming pressure descended. His martial soul was a vampire bat, possessing the ability to suck blood. However, he rarely chose to drink human blood; it seemed that the essence blood of higher-level soul beasts was more interesting to him. At this moment, he directly ignited his martial soul's true form, revealing its ferocious fangs.

"You're insane!"

Sikong Qi began frantically swinging his Hercules Hammer Martial Soul, smashing it at the Holy Envoy. However, the Bat Martial Soul caused a thin, but extremely resilient, bone membrane to grow under the Holy Envoy's arms, protecting him inside.

Sikong Qi had heard from his superior that some evil soul masters could use their own blood essence as a catalyst to ignite their true martial soul body. However, this ability was too brutal. Although it could instantly boost their strength, if they were not careful, they might die on the spot due to the shattering of their true martial soul body. Even if they survived, their martial soul would suffer some irreversible damage.

"Hehehe—" The Holy Envoy laughed bitterly as he slowly spread his wings.

"I'm just a bat flying in the darkness, never daring to expose myself directly to the sunlight. In your eyes, I'm just a bad person, right? But in our eyes, you're the same." The envoy's voice became hoarse. "Your sunlight is too intense! So blinding that it only forces us shadowy people to bury our heads and embrace each other."

"If, in the final moments of life, we could extinguish even a tiny spark of light, then these innocent, unsuspecting children who have never done anything wrong could live a little easier!"

Sikong Qi silently moved his hand to his waist, where three signal flares were located. He didn't know if there were any other members of the surveillance team around this imperial border, but as long as the signal flares were launched, they would have a better chance of winning.

His hand missed its target and landed directly on his waist.

"Is this what you're looking for?" The envoy produced three signal flares and looked at the other person as if he were an idiot.

"How could this be?!" Sikong Qi stared at the Holy Envoy in shock, then roared at his juniors, "Send the signal!"

"It's no use. You know us well, and we know you well too. We've killed many of your people and know the characteristics of this combat uniform. Including where you hide your signal flares, including the weaknesses of your uniform." The Holy Envoy looked at him with amusement. "You're too arrogant, so you didn't even realize your signal flares had been stolen. Maybe it's because you haven't failed many times before, after all, you're like the sun wherever you go."

"But we who live in darkness will only be scorched to death by your light!" The Holy Envoy's entire body burst into flames, emitting a terrifying black aura as he charged toward Sikong Qi.

"This battle should end!"

Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed. At this moment, the negative aura emanating from this holy envoy was simply too immense. After all, this was something emitted by an evil soul saint who had ignited his true body. For the little devil, this was simply a great tonic!

But that's not enough! Still not enough!

"Now!" Qian Renxue flung her hand and threw the soul-guided longsword in her hand.

While observing, she found a weakness in this Soul Saint from Shrek Academy. Regardless, her opponent was a seven-ringed being, and even with her extraordinary strength, she couldn't easily kill a Soul Saint with near-Soul Venerable power, even if her opponent was a Weapon Soul Master and lacked the defensive capabilities of a Beast Soul Master. "Pfft—"

Because he was busy resisting the Holy Envoy's attacks, Sikong Qi was forced to retreat step by step. At this moment, he was no match for the Holy Envoy at all. Then, a soul-guided longsword that appeared out of nowhere pierced his left waist.

Just as the Holy Envoy said, their inner armor did indeed possess excellent defensive capabilities, but the Holy Spirit Cult knew their equipment far too well, having not updated it for centuries. In the recent battle, the inner armor was severely damaged, giving Qian Renxue the opportunity to launch a sneak attack with her longsword.

The Holy Envoy was also fighting for his life, so this opportunity was rare. In other words, in Qian Renxue's view, this attack was a unique opportunity to attack, obtained at the cost of the Holy Envoy's life.

"Ah—!" Sikong Qi couldn't help but scream. He never expected that someone would be so uncivilized!

The perfect calculation resulted in the perfect force of the strike and the perfect arc of the longsword's flight. This precise hit completely disrupted Sikong Qi's rhythm. He was directly hit by the Holy Envoy's pounce, breaking his defenses. The spikes on the bat's wings also pierced his chest, and the two of them crashed into a pile of rocks nearby.

The previously balanced battle was instantly shattered. Sikong Qi, who had fallen to the ground, was seriously injured by the attack in front of him, and was also mangled by the sharp stones that he had ordered to be blown down.

Qian Renxue slowly walked towards where Sikong Qi was. She could feel countless negative emotions surging towards her, the resentment from Sikong Qi, the Soul Saint. The other party wasn't stupid; although it seemed that he had been knocked down by the Bat Soul Saint, the most crucial factor was still Qian Renxue's strike.

"Senior!"

"Damn it!" The remaining Shrek interns also realized something was wrong. The one leading them was this junior student, who was the temporary leader of the team. Now that Sikong Qi had lost his ability to fight, she had to come up with a plan.

"Chu Qingtian! Go and stop that crazy woman!" she shouted.

"…!" Chu Qingtian gritted his teeth. Although they had the numerical advantage, the battle between the two groups was actually evenly matched. If he left now, his teammates would be under immense pressure. However, he then thought that if he could capture the little girl, he might be able to use her as a hostage.

"Captain! I'll be right back!"

Chu Qingtian's martial soul is named Thunderous Leopard, meaning his speed is as fast as lightning. However, just as the lightning was about to approach Qian Renxue, it was intercepted by a mysterious aura.

"Watch out!" "You're asking for it!"

Shen Yuanyi and Xue Di both stepped in to stop him. The moment Chu Qingtian activated his skill, Xue Di mobilized all the ice and snow elements hidden between heaven and earth without reservation, while Shen Yuanyi activated her fourth soul skill at the same time.

However, what truly stopped Chu Qingtian was the aura emanating from Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue suddenly clutched her head tightly, and her hair instantly turned from a brilliant gold to a pale white. Unlike the Snow Emperor, whose white hair was more like a pure white, Qian Renxue's hair at this moment looked more like a sickly color.

Where no one could see, Qian Renxue slowly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her blood-red pupils had replaced her original pale purple.

"...Xue'er, it's been a long time."
