Duan Yufan noticed Yan's unusual behavior and fell behind the three of them by two minutes. With Hu Liena's reminder, Duan Yufan realized something and drew his cross-shaped martial soul.
"Shh!" Duan Yufan reminded Hu Liena and Xie Yue.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue turned to look at Duan Yufan, who gestured for them to follow his gaze.
They found Yan standing motionless, grinning foolishly.
Duan Yufan gestured for the two to come over, and the three of them gathered together.
"Yan, you might have been hit. This means there's a Spectral Bewitching Butterfly casting a spell in front of Yan. It must be over 5,000 years old to be able to hit Yan. Moonblade, go around to the back of the area Yan is looking at. I'll use my first soul skill to remove Yan's current state. Since it's a butterfly, it can definitely fly. Moonblade, you attack its wings. Demon Fox, stay on the side and don't let the soul beast escape." Duan Yufan arranged the battle plan.
"Understood." After saying that, everyone took their positions according to the instructions.
Xie Yue bent down and quietly took his position behind the Colorful Enchanting Butterfly, while Hu Liena also came to the side of the Colorful Enchanting Butterfly not far away.
Duan Yufan also quietly came to Yan's side and stood in a position not far away, keeping his distance from Xie Yue and Hu Liena.
Because Duan Yufan also needs to assist the two people, he is afraid that the soul skill will not be able to be applied if the distance is too far.
Duan Yufan saw the colorful enchanting butterfly that Hu Liena had described. It was lying on the ground, its entire body was multicolored, and it was about 1.4 meters long. It was very beautiful and its eyes were flashing with a mesmerizing light. It was obviously unaware of Duan Yufan and the other two.
"First Soul Skill: Healing Prayer; Second Soul Skill: Blessing of Courage; Third Soul Skill: Holy Light Protection." Duan Yufan summoned his soul rings, and one yellow, two purple, and one black soul ring appeared beneath his feet. He quickly released soul skills to bestow upon Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.
Yan quickly regained his senses after being hit by Duan Yufan's first soul skill.
"Squeak!" The Spectacular Enchanting Butterfly also came to its senses, made a sound, and spread its enchanting wings, ready to take off.
"First Soul Skill! Slash!" Xie Yue immediately summoned his Soul Rings, two yellow and one purple, and released his Soul Skill. The two Moon Blade Martial Souls spun and flew towards the left wing of the Colorful Bewitching Butterfly, severing its wing.
He then controlled the Moon Blade of his Martial Soul to fly back and cut off the other wing. Finally, the Moon Blade of his Martial Soul returned to Xie Yue's hand.
squeak...
The colorful enchanting butterfly hurriedly made a sound, but after taking off a little over a meter high, it instantly crashed into the grass.
"Damn it! I actually fell for it! First Soul Skill, Hellfire Lava Rush." Yan realized what was happening and was furious at his carelessness. He immediately released his Soul Skill, and a pillar of fire shot up from under the Colorful Bewitching Butterfly, hitting the butterfly right in the middle.
“This body is about seven thousand years old,” Hu Liena said.
Duan Yufan could clearly see the length of the Splendid Mystic Butterfly; with the two butterflies' antennae and tails, it was about 1.67 meters long.
"Be careful! There are other Colorful Mystic Butterflies." Duan Yufan sensed something was wrong; the fluctuations in Duan Yufan and his companions' soul power had disturbed the other Colorful Mystic Butterflies.
squeak...
Then five more colorful enchanting butterflies appeared on the wildflowers and weeds. They were a little smaller than this one and were probably around three or four thousand years old.
"Could this be a butterfly queen?" Hu Liena exclaimed, and five dazzling bewitching butterflies surrounded her.
"Back up together, this wingless one can't escape," Duan Yufan commanded.
Even without Duan Yufan's words, Xie Yue and Hu Liena had already retreated because they discovered that five colorful bewitching butterflies were releasing a five-colored mist from their bodies and surrounding them.
When Xie Yue passed by the Butterfly King, she cut off the Butterfly King's foot, rendering it completely immobile. She then grabbed the Butterfly King's two antennae and retreated back to Duan Yu Fan's side.
"Retreat into the woods behind, don't linger in the fight," Xie Yue said, carrying the Butterfly King.
"Hmm! Good idea." Duan Yufan looked at Xie Yue carrying the Butterfly King and slowly said.
With the speed boost from Duan Yufan's second and third soul skills, the group moved very quickly.
"Hmph! I can't let them suffer a loss. It's only fair to return the favor. I'll also give them a taste of my mist. Third Soul Skill, Pink Mist." Hu Liena released her third Soul Skill, a red mist that blocked the five colorful bewitching butterflies that were chasing after her.
Soon the four of them successfully retreated back into the woods. Hu Liena's third soul skill disrupted the vision and sense of smell of the Colorful Enchanting Butterfly.
However, it broke out of the red mist in no time and continued the pursuit, but the Colorful Mystic Butterfly could not fly easily in the forest.
"They're really relentless. We have to teach them a lesson. Third Soul Skill, Hellfire." Yan released his Soul Skill as he watched the Colorful Bewitching Butterflies still chasing into the forest.
Duan Yufan's second and third soul skills also affect four people.
"Third Soul Skill, Break!" Xie Yue also controlled the Moon Blade Martial Soul to attack the Colorful Enchanting Butterfly.
Sensing the threat posed by Yan and Xie Yue's attacks, the Spectral Bewitching Butterfly retreated rapidly.
Forty-Hooked Gods and Soul-Stealing Techniques
Don't underestimate Xie Yue and Yan's attacks. Their martial souls are top-tier, so they are not afraid of a late-stage Soul Master. Plus, they have Duan Yufan's support.
Let alone a mere three or four thousand-year-old Splendid Bewitching Butterfly, even one that is ten or twenty thousand years old might not be able to withstand the third soul skill attack of Xie Yue and Yan.
It's important to know that Duan Yufan's second soul skill, Blessing of Courage, now has a 100% attack boost. The base bonus of Blessing of Courage is 30%, and with Duan Yufan's level 40 Soul Master level boosting it by 40%, plus the passive effect of the Seraphim Martial Soul, the passive effect of Seraphim's Light, which increases active support skills by 30%.
There is also another passive skill of the Seraphic Martial Soul, the Devout Belief passive skill, which increases strength.
Therefore, with Duan Yufan's support, Xie Yue and Yan's third soul skill attacks were not inferior to the fifth soul skill level of a Soul King.
Although the Splendid Bewitching Butterfly reacted quickly and sensed the threat, two of the slower-reacting Butterflies were still killed by the attacks of Xie Yue and Yan, one of which was burned by Yan's fire.
Squeak... Seeing this, the remaining three colorful enchanting butterflies dared not chase any further and quickly retreated from the woods, returning to the sky above the wildflowers and weeds.
"Stop chasing! I think these Splendid Enchanting Butterfly Soul Beasts are quite rare. Let's leave a few behind; they shouldn't chase us anymore. It wouldn't be good if they went extinct." Duan Yufan quickly stopped Xie Yue and Yan when he saw that they were still planning to chase after them.
"Wow! Daddy, your second soul skill is so powerful! It actually makes my third soul skill no less powerful than a Soul King's fifth soul skill." Yan retracted his Flame Lord Martial Soul and said exaggeratedly.
"Mmm! That was really great! And the fourth spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year level, it's really well hidden." Xie Yue also retreated, but still held the Moon Blade Martial Soul in his hand.
Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena have not yet enjoyed Duan Yufan's second soul skill, Courage Blessing. You should know that during his time at the academy, Yufan never had the opportunity to use his second soul skill; he always used his first soul skill to heal others.
"Hidden? I only got it two days ago. It was also the first time I showed my fourth spirit ring. As a result, I accompanied you to the Star Dou Forest. From Sunset back to the Spirit Hall and then to the Star Dou Forest, we walked so many miles. I suffered so much!" Duan Yufan started to complain jokingly again.
"No! I need to drink another bottle of milk." After saying that, Duan Yufan took out a bottle of milk and started drinking it.
"Uh, you fox demon! You'd better finish me off quickly." Xie Yue and Yan were embarrassed and turned to face Hu Liena.
"Hehe." Hu Liena chuckled and took out a dagger to stab at the Colorful Enchanting Butterfly.
The Spectral Mystic Butterfly, with its broken wings and legs, and having been attacked by Yan's soul skill, had long since lost its ability to resist.
Hu Liena, of course, showed no mercy and took the life of the Splendid Enchanting Butterfly, reluctantly sacrificing her own soul ring, which she had cultivated for seven thousand years.
Hu Liena watched the purple spirit ring rise, then sat cross-legged to guide the absorption of the spirit ring.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of soul skills this Splendid Enchanting Butterfly Soul Beast will produce when combined with the Demon Fox Martial Soul." Yan said softly to Xie Yue as he watched Hu Liena begin absorbing the soul ring.
"The Splendid Bewitching Butterfly has the ability to bewitch mental energy, and the Demon Fox also has this ability, so it must be even stronger. It might even have the ability to bewitch a Soul King." Upon hearing Yan's words, Duan Yufan quickly moved closer to the two of them and whispered his guess.
"I guessed so! But if she can bewitch the Soul King, then I'll be even less able to beat my sister," Xie Yue joked.
"Oh! You actually want to hit my senior sister? You're finished. When she wakes up, I'm going to tell her you wanted to hit her, right, Yan?" Duan Yufan looked at Xie Yue with surprise.
"No, no, no, you're just kidding! If she finds out, who knows how she'll torment me. These past two years have been so hard for me." Xie Yue immediately put on a mournful face upon hearing this.
"Hehe!" Yan laughed out loud as soon as he thought of something.
"Take it easy! You still have the nerve to laugh." Xie Yue quickly covered Yan's mouth.
"Oh! Something fun has happened!" Duan Yufan said with a gossipy look on his face.
"Let me tell you, it's really nothing. It's just that I was bewitched by a fox spirit once. Yue Ren was hugging and kissing an animal, whispering sweet nothings to it. They almost got married on the spot. The scene was disgusting. After I woke up, I killed the animal with one slash. It was too brutal." Yan said to Duan Yufan with a smile.
"Holy crap! Yan! Don't bring up dark history. Besides, I was only ten years old back then. Weren't you just bewitched by the Colorful Bewitching Butterfly and almost put your head into its mouth while you were grinning like an idiot?" Xie Yue retorted to Yan.
"By the way! Yan, what did you see that made you grin like that?" Duan Yufan turned to ask Yan.
"Uh, this is nothing to mention. I need to recover the soul power I just used up." Yan stammered and immediately closed his eyes on the ground, pretending to recover his soul power.
"Damn, Yan is such a repressed pervert." Xie Yue was speechless for a moment before starting to recover his soul power.
"Uh, never mind, I haven't finished my milk yet." Duan Yufan started drinking again.
"But my first soul skill can also restore soul power, right? Why do I need to meditate? Sigh! After more than a year of treating villagers, I had forgotten that my first soul skill also had the function of restoring soul power. This skill is truly divine." Duan Yufan remembered something and muttered to himself.
Thirty minutes later, Hu Liena finally completed the absorption of her fourth spirit ring, becoming a Spirit Master with optimal configuration.
"Hey, why are those two sitting down too?" Hu Liena stood up and looked at Xie Yue and Yan.
"They're recovering their soul power! Fine, I'll help them out. First Soul Skill, Healing Prayer." Duan Yu Fan used two consecutive first Soul Skills to help the two recover their soul power.
"Huh! Why is my soul power suddenly full?" Xie Yue said, opening his eyes.
“Me too.” Yan also opened her eyes.
"I forgot the effect of my first soul skill. Have you all forgotten it too?" Duan Yu Fan said speechlessly.
"Hehe!" The two gave an awkward laugh.
"Oh! The fox spirit has woken up. How was it? How was the effect of its soul skill?" Xie Yue immediately changed the subject.
Xie Yue's words attracted Duan Yufan and Yan.
"Haha! Not bad! Who wants to try my soul skill?" Hu Liena said playfully.
"Get your brother here. He just said he was going to bully you, right, Yan?" Duan Yufan quickly pushed Xie Yue forward.
“Yes, I heard you. Moonblade, didn’t you want to bully your sister? We’re giving you the chance.” Yan trembled and quickly echoed Duan Yufan’s words.
"Oh! Is that so? My brother." Hu Liena looked at Xie Yue with pink eyes.
Xie Yue was instantly bewitched, but Duan Yufan used his first soul skill to dispel Hu Liena's illusion.
"Hehe, I was just trying to see if I could break free from the charm control." Duan Yufan quickly explained when he saw Hu Liena looking at him.
"My dear sister, I was wrong. Tell me about the effects quickly," Xie Yue said, still shaken after waking up.
"The fourth soul skill is called 'Soul Hooking Technique,' which can probably bewitch people who are two realms higher than me, and can also attack Soul Kings with mental power," Hu Liena explained briefly.
"The name 'Soul-Stealing Hook' is really good; it sounds very powerful," Duan Yufan replied.
"Alright! I've obtained my fourth spirit ring. Now it's yours," Hu Liena said.
"Haha! Good luck, our fourth spirit ring won't take more than a few days to form," Yan said happily.
The four were fully prepared to continue their search for the soul beast.
. . . . . .
"Sigh! It's been five days since Xiao Fan has been around, and I'm really not used to it!"
Bibi Dong sat in the empty Papal Palace and sighed.
