As the light screen dissipated, the insights into footwork that had been refined over thirty years flowed into Su Yuntao's limbs and bones like a warm stream.

He tried to take a small step, and his figure blurred for a moment as he stepped, then returned to normal. That moment of blurring was enough to cause his opponent to misjudge.

Just as he was about to continue adapting to the new footwork, he felt the fluctuations of his soul power around him go out of control for a moment. A visible halo of soul power spread out from his body. Although it only lasted for a moment before receding, that fluctuation was enough for any soul master in the city with keen soul power perception to detect his location.

Sure enough, a cold voice came from the alleyway not far away:

"Finally found you. You've been hiding well enough, but now, let's see where you can run now."

Leng Qiushan's figure appeared at the alley entrance.

Further away, Kundera and a dozen or so city guards also rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Although they stood at the street corner and didn't approach, their eyes remained fixed on this area.

Su Yuntao turned around to face Leng Qiushan. At this moment, there was no longer any apprehension in his eyes. So what if the other party was a Soul Emperor? The Golden Roc Wing Bone would make him invincible, the Profound Yin Nine Claws would allow him to break through the opponent's defense head-on, and the footwork technique he had just deduced gave him the ability to maneuver in close combat.

He raised his hand and beckoned towards Leng Qiushan in response.

Leng Qiushan's face darkened. Without saying another word, he exerted force with his feet, and his whole body shot straight at Su Yuntao's face like a dark blue arrow.

Su Yuntao did not retreat. Just before Leng Qiushan's fist landed, he slightly turned his body and slid past Leng Qiushan's side, as fast as a piece of paper blown by the wind.

Leng Qiushan missed his punch and turned to chase after him. Su Yuntao dodged to the side again and at the same time swung his claw at Leng Qiushan's forearm from the side.

This time, his attack was more cunning and faster than before. When his claws grazed the edge of Leng Qiushan's protective soul power, they produced a screeching sound, and Leng Qiushan's movements clearly paused for a moment.

He hadn't expected that Su Yuntao's speed and reaction time would improve so much in just over two hours, and he certainly hadn't expected that Su Yuntao could counterattack so accurately while dodging.

Leng Qiushan regained his balance and used both hands to continuously block Su Yuntao's claw attacks, but each block left his wrists slightly numb.

Su Yuntao's claws kept striking his protective soul power, one after another. In just a moment, his protective soul power began to tremble violently.

Another claw struck.

Leng Qiushan's protective soul power collapsed instantly.

Kundera and the city guards stood on the sidelines at the street corner, their eyes fixed on the battle, their faces filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? The Soul Emperor's protective soul power was actually broken?"

"Didn't you notice? He's been getting completely dominated by that Soul Master!"

A dozen pairs of eyes were focused on Su Yuntao, watching him step on Leng Qiushan's breathing gaps with each step, each claw precisely landing on the opponent's weakest point, tearing open a long wound each time.

Leng Qiushan grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. He clearly remembered that the intelligence report from a few days ago stated "Lone Wolf, Level 39 Soul Master." Even if the opponent had absorbed a Soul Ring and managed to break through to Level 40 by sheer luck, he should not have such strength now.

But the pressure he is facing right now is far beyond what an ordinary Soul Master should be experiencing.

Even a normal Soul Emperor wouldn't be able to push him to such a desperate situation.

But soon, he realized a more realistic problem: if he continued to hold on, he would only be worn down to death. He gritted his teeth, took Su Yuntao's claw attack, and used the force to turn around and run wildly towards the outside of the city. His soul power exploded under his feet, and his speed was much faster than when he came.

Without hesitation, Su Yuntao activated his newly developed footwork, his entire body moving like a gray shadow that was sometimes visible and sometimes not, closely following Leng Qiushan, while the Xuan Yin Nine Claws landed continuously on Leng Qiushan's back from behind.

Leng Qiushan dared not turn around and could only continuously gather protective soul power to resist Su Yuntao's attacks.

But how much defensive power does a hastily condensed protective soul force actually provide?

Blood began to drip down his back, but he dared not stop. He gritted his teeth and ran, with only one thought in his mind—to survive.

He remembered that there was a cliff not far ahead, a piece of terrain he had discovered while healing his injuries. With his Soul Emperor physique and the defense of his protective soul skill, although falling down would result in serious injury, he could at least escape Su Yuntao's pursuit.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. "Lone Wolf, you just wait. Once I escape this time, I'll make you wish you were dead."

Su Yuntao pursued closely behind, his Xuan Yin Nine Claws becoming smoother and smoother. The memories he was studying were rapidly transforming into instinctive physical reactions, and each strike was faster and more accurate than the last.

After being hit several times in succession, Leng Qiushan suddenly turned around, took a claw attack from Su Yuntao, and used the force to lunge directly towards the edge of the cliff. He lost his balance in mid-air and fell towards the bottom of the cliff.

Su Yuntao never expected that there was a cliff in front of him, and he never expected that Leng Qiushan would jump off the cliff.

Does this mean it's been delivered to my bowl?

Without any hesitation, Su Yuntao suddenly spread his wings, and the dark golden luster of the Golden Roc's wing bones flashed a sharp arc in the sunlight.

With a flap of his wings, he shot down like a golden arrow, following Leng Qiushan's figure. At the same time, dense wind blades gathered at the edges of his wings, and Golden Feather Blades were released continuously in mid-air.

As Leng Qiushan fell, a faint trace of relief flashed across his face.

Although he lost a soul bone and all his followers this time, he at least saved his own life. As long as he can leave this place alive, he will always have a chance to make a comeback.

However, the next moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a golden figure with outstretched wings swooping down from the top of the cliff.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe.

When did the lone wolf learn to fly?

Then what about his desperate act of jumping off the cliff?

Do you want to deliver yourself right into the other person's mouth?

He suddenly activated his soul power, trying to condense a layer of defensive soul skill to protect his body, but Su Yuntao's Golden Feather Blade had already been condensed above him.

The power of the fourth soul ring fused with the external soul bone was unleashed at this moment, and several wind blades were released simultaneously from both sides of the wings, precisely cutting into his already shattered protective soul power.

The hastily formed defense shattered in less than a breath, and Leng Qiushan's body, having lost all protection as he plummeted downwards, crashed heavily onto the rocky ground at the bottom of the cliff with a dull thud.
