Kuang Hu quickly turned to Old Huang and asked, "Old Huang, are you okay?"

"Family Head, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury," Old Huang replied without turning his head, his eyes fixed on Blue Silver Emperor.

"Little girl, you've got some skills. But you've thoroughly angered me now. Prepare to face my strongest attack!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Netherworld Assault!" Old Huang's face darkened with rage as he activated his fifth soul ring.

Thick clouds of purple-black mist surged toward Blue Silver Emperor.

Although Blue Silver Emperor summoned countless vines to form a defensive barrier, the mist seeped through the gaps between the vines, slowly enveloping her.

"Second Soul Skill, Blue Silver's Protection!" Blue Silver Emperor activated her second soul skill, creating a faint green protective barrier around herself.

For a while, the two were locked in a stalemate. However, as Old Huang's Netherworld Mist continued to grow, Blue Silver Emperor would inevitably exhaust her soul power first.

"Asura, your little friend is trapped in Old Huang's Netherworld Mist. As time passes, the mist will only grow thicker. In a few minutes, she'll dissolve into a pool of blood. What a pity for such a beautiful girl."

"Tsk tsk!" Kuang Hu taunted while launching a relentless assault, trying to disrupt Lin Yongming's rhythm.

"A-Yin!"

Lin Yongming silently called out in worry. Through his, he could sense Blue Silver Emperor struggling within the mist, her green barrier shrinking steadily.

Although he was deeply concerned about Blue Silver Emperor's predicament, Lin Yongming was too occupied with Kuang Hu's fierce attacks to break free.

"No, A-Yin won't last much longer. I need to find a way to escape Kuang Hu's grasp," Lin Yongming thought. Using his, he gauged the distance between himself and Blue Silver Emperor—about thirty meters—and formulated a plan.

"Wave Blade!" Lin Yongming began counterattacking Kuang Hu with a flurry of strikes.

However, Kuang Hu's third soul skill, Thunder Armor, rendered Lin Yongming's attacks ineffective. Kuang Hu, unwilling to back down, retaliated with claw strikes of his own.

"This kid suddenly launched such a fierce attack. He must be desperate to save that Blue Silver girl. I won't let him have his way," Kuang Hu thought, increasing his attack speed to keep Lin Yongming pinned down.

But Kuang Hu's reaction was exactly what Lin Yongming had hoped for.

Focused solely on killing Lin Yongming, Kuang Hu failed to notice that Lin Yongming was subtly guiding their battle closer to Blue Silver Emperor.

Lin Yongming adjusted his position, gradually closing the distance to Blue Silver Emperor. Soon, the gap between them was reduced to about ten meters.

"Block!" Lin Yongming feigned weakness, using Kuang Hu's force to slide back several meters.

"Asura Thunder Slash!" Lin Yongming steadied himself and, facing Kuang Hu, shouted the name of his attack while gathering soul power, deliberately leaving an opening.

"Trying the same trick again? Thunder Tiger's Claw!" The experienced Kuang Hu, seeing Lin Yongming's feigned vulnerability, assumed Lin Yongming was running out of stamina and soul power. A smirk appeared on Kuang Hu's face as he launched his attack.

Lin Yongming raised his left arm, turning his body slightly to block Kuang Hu's strike.

"Rip!" Lin Yongming's left arm and sleeve were torn apart, and he was sent flying about six meters. He landed in a crouch, his Thunder Blade embedded in the ground, his right hand gripping the hilt as he panted heavily, facing Kuang Hu.

"Asura, out of energy, aren't you? This time, I won't be careless. Prepare to die! Thunder Tiger's Claw!" Kuang Hu declared, summoning another blue tiger claw.

"Asura Thunder Slash!" Lin Yongming shouted again, unleashing a massive lightning slash from his Thunder Blade.

However, to Kuang Hu's shock, Lin Yongming's attack wasn't aimed at him—it was directed at Old Huang, who was about ten meters away.

"What!" Old Huang's pupils dilated as he realized Lin Yongming's true target was him. Caught off guard while maintaining his fifth soul skill, Old Huang had no time to react.

"No way!" Old Huang stopped channeling his Netherworld Assault and clutched his chest, disbelief in his eyes as he collapsed to the ground.

Lin Yongming's attack had been precise and deadly, striking Old Huang's heart and killing him instantly.

If this plan had failed, killing Old Huang would have been nearly impossible. Lin Yongming had calculated this, feigning a fierce attack on Kuang Hu while subtly maneuvering closer to Old Huang for a surprise strike.

"Ah... Old Huang! You brat, you're dead!" Kuang Hu's attack didn't stop. He struck Lin Yongming's back with another claw, sending him flying once more.

"Xiao Ming... Healing!" Blue Silver Emperor, now free from the mist, saw Lin Yongming spit blood as he was sent flying. She rushed over and immediately began healing his injuries.

"A-Yin, you're okay. That's good," Lin Yongming smiled weakly, blood still on his lips.

"You fool, I could have escaped the mist on my own. Why did you go to such lengths to save me?" Blue Silver Emperor said, her eyes glistening with tears as she gently wiped the blood from Lin Yongming's mouth.

"As long as you're safe, it's worth it. Even if I'm injured, I know you'll heal me," Lin Yongming replied.

"Your parents were right. You're always so stubborn. No wonder they kept warning me about you," Blue Silver Emperor said, her tone a mix of anger and concern.

However, they didn't have much time. Kuang Hu, now standing over Old Huang's lifeless body, was more enraged than ever.

"Fine, fine! A Spirit Elder and a Spirit Ancestor have caused me such heavy losses today. Even tearing you to pieces won't be enough to vent my hatred!" Kuang Hu roared, his eyes bloodshot and filled with murderous intent.

Old Huang and Old Wei had been Kuang Hu's right-hand men, companions for most of his life.

Now, all his subordinates were dead, and his two most trusted allies had fallen. As a Soul Sage, Kuang Hu had been reduced to such a pitiful state by Lin Yongming and Blue Silver Emperor. He was now in a complete frenzy.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Tiger God's Thunderfall!"

"Roar!"

Kuang Hu's Thunder Tiger roared as he unleashed a devastating attack. A dome formed around Lin Yongming and Blue Silver Emperor, with a hexagonal array featuring a tiger's head appearing on the ground, trapping the two inside.

Kuang Hu hovered above them, standing on a similar array at the dome's apex.

"A-Yin, be careful! His fifth soul skill is a ten-thousand-year skill. This attack is no joke!"

"I know!" Blue Silver Emperor looked up at Kuang Hu. "Blue Silver's Protection!"

"Descend!" Kuang Hu bellowed. Five bolts of lightning shot from the array, striking toward Lin Yongming and Blue Silver Emperor as if they were undergoing a heavenly tribulation.

"Third Soul Skill, Unparalleled Wave!" Lin Yongming attacked Kuang Hu from below, but his soul skill was dispersed by two of the lightning bolts.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Prison!" Blue Silver Emperor created a prison of vines to protect herself and Lin Yongming.

However, the remaining three lightning bolts shattered the Blue Silver Prison.

"Let's see what else you've got. Thunderfall!" Kuang Hu launched another round of five lightning bolts.

"A-Yin, move!" Lin Yongming pushed Blue Silver Emperor aside and leaped away, dodging one bolt. But the second bolt struck him.

"Block... Ugh!" Lin Yongming spat blood as his block barely mitigated the damage.

He managed to dodge the third bolt, but Blue Silver Emperor seemed to be reaching her limit, blood trickling from her lips.

"Purple Lightning Thunder Wings!" Lin Yongming quickly flew to Blue Silver Emperor's side, picking her up and dodging the next strike.

However, Kuang Hu was already preparing his third round of attacks.

Lin Yongming tried to fly out of the dome with Blue Silver Emperor, but they were repelled upon touching the barrier.

"How is this possible? This attack's power is absurd. It doesn't feel like a fifth soul skill at all," Blue Silver Emperor exclaimed, her face pale.

"True. He must have paid a heavy price for this," Lin Yongming said grimly.

Lin Yongming was right. To kill them, Kuang Hu had sacrificed ten levels of his soul power permanently, ensuring he could never advance beyond his current state. After this attack, Kuang Hu would fall to the Spirit Douluo level and never regain his Soul Sage status.

But now wasn't the time to discuss Kuang Hu's fifth soul skill. They needed to figure out how to survive his third round of lightning strikes.

Lin Yongming flew around the dome with Blue Silver Emperor in his arms, trying to evade the bolts.

However, no matter how fast Lin Yongming's Purple Lightning Thunder Wings were, they couldn't outpace lightning. He dodged two bolts but was struck by the third.

Lin Yongming crashed to the ground, shielding Blue Silver Emperor beneath him as the final two bolts descended.

"Xiao Ming!" Blue Silver Emperor quickly healed Lin Yongming, barely keeping him conscious. "Xiao Ming, hang in there!"

"A-Yin, it seems... we might not make it this time," Lin Yongming said weakly.

"Don't say that. We'll get out of this," Blue Silver Emperor said urgently.

"Hmph, I've paid a heavy price for you two. Prepare to die. Thunderfall!" Kuang Hu's cold laughter echoed from above as he prepared his fourth round of attacks.
