Chapter 300: The Soul Attack That Shook the Battlefield – Jia Xing Tian's Soul Form
While Yun Leng harbored his own fears toward Wu Guardian, the people of the Jia Ma Empire below were completely overwhelmed by sheer terror.
Seeing Jia Xing Tian impaled by that ominous hook, their souls nearly left their bodies in fright.
A powerhouse as mighty as Jia Xing Tian had been rendered completely helpless beneath this dark chain just how powerful was this Wu Guardian?
There had been no clash of Dou Qi, no collision of force, and yet the chain had pierced through the raging sandstorm as if it did not exist.
All they saw was a thin black line that passed effortlessly through Jia Xing Tian's body...
None of them had ever witnessed such a technique, nor had they even heard of anything like it before.
The sheer mystery of it made their fear absolute.
Wu Guardian had appeared precisely to crush all hope.
As a Soul Hall hunter, his spiritual power was terrifying, yet his physical strength was limited.
Despite possessing the power of a Dou Zong, he could not unleash its full might.
However, the weapons he wielded were specially crafted designed specifically to target souls.
Unless one possessed Heavenly Flames or other rare treasures, their souls were completely vulnerable to his attacks.
Jia Xing Tian's mighty defenses had been useless because Wu Guardian had never attacked his body in the first place his real target had been his soul!
That was why no blood had spilled.
Now, Jia Xing Tian's eyes were blank, his body lifeless, like a soulless corpse…
"Great grandfather!"
"Jia Lao!"
The cries of those below echoed in vain.
Jia Xing Tian did not respond.
"Heh heh heh heh~~~"
Wu Guardian laughed darkly, his voice filled with eerie amusement.
"A bunch of pathetic frogs at the bottom of a well how dare you resist me? Yun Leng, kill them all!"
The previously hesitant Yun Leng suddenly shivered, his eyes regaining their sharp glint.
He had no choice now there was no escape.
He was already on this sinking ship.
The same power that had elevated him to a Dou Zong could just as easily be stripped away.
And if Wu Guardian turned that soul hooking chain on him, wouldn't he suffer the same fate as Jia Xing Tian?
This entire demonstration had been a warning.
It was a clear message disobedience meant soul annihilation!
Everyone, from Yun Leng to the Yun Lan Sect elders, now stared at Wu Guardian with dread.
Realizing he had no other choice, Yun Leng stepped forward, sleeves billowing as he commanded:
"Kill!"
At his order, a tidal wave of Yun Lan Sect disciples flooded into the depths of the Mitchell Clan estate, overwhelming the defenders.
The sheer force of the assault was unstoppable.
This was no longer a battle of strength.
It was a battle of will, and their hearts had already been shattered.
The royal family, the Mitchell Clan, the Mu Clan even the Alchemist Association none of them had any hope left.
The Yun Lan Sect had two Dou Zong powerhouses, and worst of all, that demonic black mist was something beyond comprehension.
How could they possibly resist?
They weren't just afraid their very souls were quaking.
Jia Xing Tian himself was in agony.
It was not a physical pain but an unbearable torment that came from his very soul.
Within the dark chain's grasp, a faint, ghostly figure was being forcefully pulled from his body…
The sight left everyone gasping in horror.
"That's… a soul!"
"He can rip out souls and kill in an instant!"
"We're doomed!"
As an alchemist, Fa Ma immediately realized the terrifying truth.
Alchemists had stronger souls than normal people, so they studied soul related techniques extensively.
At this moment, Fa Ma felt an instinctive, primal fear as if his own soul was being torn apart.
Even his steadfast alchemy cauldron was trembling in terror.
This wasn't a battle of physical power this was a battle of souls.
And in this war, Wu Guardian was invincible.
Without a Heavenly Flame or some other divine artifact, no one could resist.
Even Yun Leng himself… would be powerless.
They were finished.
The Alchemist Association… was finished.
The great clans… were finished.
The Jia Ma Empire… was finished.
And the Snake Tribe…
"Heh heh, Jia Xing Tian, you're just a mere Dou Huang."
"Do you think struggling against me will do anything?"
"A Dou Huang soul… quite the delicacy. I do hope you'll be delicious, heh heh heh~"
"You needn't worry. After you die, your precious granddaughter and all of these people will join you shortly."
As Wu Guardian's sinister voice echoed, the black chain tightened, and the enormous dark maw beneath it opened wide, ready to devour Jia Xing Tian's soul.
The suction force from the maw grew stronger, and the chain reeled in its captive.
Slowly, Jia Xing Tian's soul was being pulled out of his body…
It was a horrifying sight.
Jia Xing Tian's spirit form looked exactly like him, his face twisted in unimaginable agony.
His physical body remained motionless, but his soul was thrashing violently, desperate to break free.
The black hook at the end of the chain was embedded in his chest, making escape impossible.
As the chain tightened, Jia Xing Tian's soul was dragged closer to Wu Guardian's gaping maw…
"…"
The onlookers were too terrified to speak.
Souls could be devoured?!
Did this mean that Wu Guardian could consume souls to strengthen himself?
Before their very eyes, Jia Xing Tian's soul was about to be swallowed whole…
But then
"Crack "
A sharp snap rang out beside Wu Guardian.
The sound alone made his monstrous mouth instantly clamp shut, and his eyes widened in shock.
In an instant, the black chain shattered, breaking into pieces amid a surge of blue light!
Wu Guardian reeled back in terror.
At that moment, he abandoned Jia Xing Tian's soul entirely.
Instead, his mist like form immediately scattered, retreating far into the distance…
"How dare you!"
"A mere Soul Hall Guardian dares to act so arrogantly in front of this king?"
A majestic voice boomed through the battlefield, shaking the heavens.
