Chapter 17 Advanced Version of Li Bai's Skills: Incredible Attack Power

"These clothes...you're from the Demonic Sect?"

Tang Yiran was somewhat surprised when she saw the old man's black robe.

"Hehehe... Little girl, you have good taste."

The old man in black robes chuckled, then suddenly looked at the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Yiran's hand, and was slightly startled, "Clear Sky Sect?"

"You know I belong to the Haotian Sect, so get lost..."

Tang Yiran's expression changed, and she released six spirit rings.

"Soul Emperor? Haotian Sect, heh heh, so what? As long as I, Elder Ge, kill you today and drain you dry, do you think the Haotian Sect will even know it was me who did it?"

The old man in black robes chuckled strangely, and with a sudden tremor of his feet, six spirit rings erupted from his body. Two bat wings suddenly sprouted from his back, and his eyes turned red.

"He's also a Soul Emperor? A Demon Sect member... This is troublesome. I need to absorb the Soul Ring as soon as possible. I wonder if Sister Yiran can hold on."

Lin Fan quickly placed the Shadow Battle Axe on the ten-thousand-year black spirit ring. The Shadow Battle Axe suddenly emitted a buzzing sound and began to vibrate, while the energy in the black ten-thousand-year spirit ring was being frantically absorbed by the Shadow Battle Axe.

The Demonic Sect—Lin Fan's body's original owner also had memories of the Demonic Sect, which his parents told him when he was a child. This was a force not mentioned in the original story, and it was probably completely destroyed after Tang San turned seven.

But now, the Demonic Sect is an extremely evil force in this chaotic world.

The current chaos in the Soul Master world is largely related to this force: the Demon Sect's leader, rumored to be a Title Douluo who calls himself the Devouring Douluo.

The Devouring Douluo's martial soul is a vampire bat that can absorb the soul power and life force of others. Soul masters who possess this martial soul do not even need to cultivate. As long as they kill other soul masters and drain their blood and soul power, they can convert it into their own soul power to level up.

All direct descendants of Devouring Douluo possess this martial soul. They used to be just a family, but later, as their strength expanded, more and more soul masters who worshipped evil and slaughter joined them, and they called themselves the Demon Sect on the continent.

Although the Demonic Sect is not as powerful as the Clear Sky Sect or the Spirit Hall, they exist in the shadows. Many of the Demonic Sect's Soul Masters are hidden within the Empire, secretly killing people. It is extremely difficult to eliminate such an organization.

"Xiao Fan, can you absorb this ten-thousand-year soul ring? Don't force yourself, hide behind it immediately."

Tang Yiran glanced at Lin Fan with concern, slightly surprised. She saw that Lin Fan was absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring with a relaxed expression, as if the axe was not his martial soul.

Under normal circumstances, weapon spirits absorb spirit rings more easily than beast spirits, but this is not always the case.

"Hehehe... It seems this brat has some skill. If he drains both of you dry, I can become a Soul Saint."

Old Ge chuckled and immediately activated his soul power, causing the vampire bat to let out a chilling cry.

"Second Soul Skill, Deadly Poison..."

In an instant, the bat spat out a cloud of black mist. Lin Fan was startled. He continued to hold the Shadow Battle Axe with one hand, using his mental power to absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring, while immediately using his first martial soul, the Purple Flame Fire Tiger.

"Purple fire..."

Lin Fan's martial soul, the Purple Flame Fire Tiger, immediately spewed out a stream of purple flames, igniting the poisonous mist in the air.

"You're courting death..." Tang Yiran immediately gripped the Clear Sky Hammer and charged towards the four strange men. The other three hurriedly dodged, while Elder Ge immediately activated his fifth soul skill.

"A blood-red protective shield..."

"Bang..." A blood-red light shield immediately appeared around Elder Ge's body. Although he barely managed to block Tang Yiran's attack, he still had to retreat several steps.

Tang Yiran said coldly, "Hmph, I can easily make you use your defensive soul skill with just one hit of my hammer. You four disgusting things dare to attack us."

"Hehe... The Clear Sky Hammer's attack power is astonishing, I've experienced it firsthand, but... that doesn't mean I'll lose."

Old Ge gritted his teeth, and a black spirit ring on his body immediately lit up.

"Sixth Soul Skill... Bloodthirsty Berserker..."

Peng...

A large swarm of vampire bats emerged from Old Ge's body, seemingly multiplying dozens of times in an instant, and charged towards Tang Yiran, each vampire bat spitting out drops of scarlet blood.

"Third Soul Skill, Gale Hammer..." Tang Yiran immediately threw out the Clear Sky Hammer, which spun rapidly around her, creating an extremely fierce storm of soul power that repelled all the vampire bats...

"Die..." Tang Yiran swung the Gale Hammer and charged towards the four people in an instant.

The other three were sent flying by the hammer. Old Ge immediately dodged, and a small red bottle appeared in his hand.

"I never imagined that dealing with a mere girl would force this old man to use the Demonic Sect's extraordinary poison, the Eight-Tailed Poison..."

As Tang Yiran charged at him again, Old Ge immediately threw out the small red bottle in his hand, which was as sharp as a sword.

"Peng..."

Tang Yiran could naturally tell that Ge Lai was using a hidden weapon. She instantly smashed him into ashes in mid-air with her Haotian Hammer. But the next moment, Tang Yiran saw a red mist envelop her entire body. Her soul power was rapidly dissipating, and her body seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.

"What a potent poison! Oh no, I can't use my sixth soul skill anymore."

Tang Yiran landed immediately, kneeling on one knee. She felt that she couldn't even lift the Haotian Hammer with her right hand anymore.

The red mist obscured her vision, and her eyesight became increasingly blurry until she could no longer see her surroundings.

"Hehehe." Old Ge chuckled, "The Clear Sky Hammer is indeed powerful. In a head-on clash, even if I became a Soul Saint, I'm afraid I wouldn't be your match. I've learned my lesson today, but in the end, you will still fall into my hands. This Eight-Tailed Poison was personally concocted by our sect leader. No one below the Soul Douluo level can withstand it... Miss Clear Sky Sect, let me drain your body dry."

"Don't even think about hurting my teacher..." Liu Erlong immediately activated her martial soul, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and used her fourth soul skill, Bloodthirsty Flames.

A dragon flame swept through the darkness, but Elder Ge raised his right hand, and a blood-red light shield reappeared around him, blocking the attack.

"Second Soul Skill... Frost Blade..."

Shui Yue'er also summoned the Ice Phoenix, which flew in the air and shot down ice blades.

"Hehehe... It's actually Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and Ice Phoenix. My luck is really too good today. Since you're courting death, I'll drain you little ones dry first."

As Ge Laoda laughed, about to launch an attack on Liu Erlong, his expression suddenly changed. He looked behind him and saw a boy wielding a black axe rushing towards him.

"A ten-thousand-year-old soul skill, a stroke of genius..."

Indeed, Lin Fan had already completed his skill advancement. His Shadow Battle Axe cleaved through the night, and a white lotus sword array circle with a range of ten meters suddenly exploded, releasing six flying swords condensed from soul power. Lin Fan's body also suddenly became transparent.

Old Ge sensed danger and quickly used the blood-red light shield again, but then, six flying swords instantly stabbed towards him. In just one second, his light shield was attacked six times.

"Two seconds, three seconds..."

Peng...

The crimson light shield shattered instantly, and in the next moment, six flying swords pierced through his entire body, six times in a single second. Old Ge immediately coughed up blood and desperately ran out of the light circle. Unexpectedly, when the light touched the edge of the light circle, his aged pupils suddenly tightened, and he seemed to have been electrocuted several times, instantly becoming motionless.

"I...I..."

At this moment, Lin Fan, now invisible, once again gripped the Shadow Battle Axe and slammed it down on his neck.

"I am unwilling... to die at the hands of a mere brat... Blood Explosion..."

"Peng..."

Old Ge's body exploded completely, spewing out countless venomous bats. Lin Fan instantly teleported more than ten meters away, and only then did his invincibility state end.

"That was close... Is this the stroke of genius after advancing?" Lin Fan was also shocked as he looked at Elder Ge, who had been blown to ashes.

That's right, after the advanced Divine Stroke is used, the user goes from being untargetable for three seconds to being invincible for five seconds. In the invincible state, the body becomes transparent, but the user can attack others at will and is immune to all damage except for true damage.

The range of the Azure Lotus Sword Formation has also increased several times. As the soul power increases, the attack range can be increased at will. The Azure Lotus Sword Formation will condense six flying swords, attacking the enemy within the sword formation six times per second. The sword circle lasts for ten seconds, which is sixty times in ten seconds.

In reality, if there were many people within the sword circle, it wouldn't possess such power, as six flying swords couldn't possibly attack a single target simultaneously. However, in a one-on-one duel, it is undeniably lethal. With sixty attacks in ten seconds, combined with the Shadow Axe's defensive penetration, no one can withstand ten seconds within the sword circle.

"Oh, right, Sister Yiran..."

Lin Fan rushed toward Tang Yiran, who was not far away. Although the red mist around her had disappeared, her face had turned completely red.

"Teacher Yiran, how are you?" Lin Fan quickly hugged her delicate body. Tang Yiran looked at Lin Fan weakly, raised her hand with all her might, and grabbed Lin Fan's hand, saying, "Xiao Fan, it's good that you... are alright."

Seeing Tang Yiran like this, Lin Fan panicked a little and quickly said, "Don't scare me, Teacher Yiran, what kind of poison is this? I'll take you back to Haotian Sect right away."

"It's too late...you...go back..." Tang Yiran's voice grew weaker and weaker.

What should I do? I don't know how to cure poison. Oh right... a healing card...

Lin Fan checked the system and found that he had used up all three healing cards. He quickly said, "Ling'er, I want to draw a prize. Give me a healing card, hurry up..."

"Ding, Master, you've leveled up! You now have two chances to draw a prize. Confirm?"

"Hurry up, stop dawdling..."

Evil Soul Master, watch out for Ah Yin, stealing Tang Hao's woman.
