Chapter 223: Senior, Save Me!
Suddenly, Bai Xiuxiu saw a pitch black spatial rift appear in the seawater ahead. The surrounding water surged toward the rift as if being sucked in, but an invisible force emanated from it, pushing back the seawater. White waves churned violently, and a figure emerged from the rift, radiating the aura of a fierce beast.
"This…" Bai Xiuxiu's eyes widened in disbelief. There were very few beings in the world who could control spatial power. Even within her Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, not even her own mother possessed such an ability.
Among those she had encountered, the only person she knew who could manipulate space was the Lord of Sea God Island. However, according to her mother, the mastery of space power varied greatly. Even the Lord of Sea God Island was far inferior to the Beast God Di Tian in this regard.
As the white waves settled, Bai Xiuxiu finally got a clear look at the newcomer a young human with three golden eyes. However, the ferocious beast aura emanating from him made her certain that this was merely his human form.
"Senior! I am the princess of the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan. My name is Bai Xiuxiu, but you can also call me Dong Qianqiu! I was just eating sea prawns and singing when that evil soul master, the so called Death God's Envoy, suddenly started hunting me down! Please save me!"
Bai Xiuxiu didn't want to die, so she rushed forward and began sobbing out her plight.
Soul beasts were not a united force they had their own internal conflicts. However, most soul beasts held hostility toward humans, as soul masters needed to hunt them for soul rings and soul bones, making them natural enemies.
That said, Bai Xiuxiu, being from the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan, had far less animosity toward humans. However, she was well aware that both soul beasts and soul masters despised evil soul masters.
Huo Yuhao continued to use his Mimicry Soul Skill to emit the aura of Snow Empress, making himself appear as a powerful beast. However, he controlled the range of this aura, limiting it to a small area around Bai Xiuxiu.
He paused for a moment, thinking to himself wasn't the Death God's Envoy the so called "strongest Soul King" who once humiliated Xuan Zi? How did he end up hunting sea soul beasts in the ocean?
Quickly dismissing the thought, Huo Yuhao looked at Bai Xiuxiu and deliberately assumed the demeanor of a soul beast senior, saying, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, you won't be harmed."
"Thank you, Senior!" Bai Xiuxiu immediately stopped running. In her mind, this senior radiated the aura of a fierce beast, so how could he possibly lose to a mere Soul Douluo level evil soul master?
Evil soul masters were known for their ability to fight above their level, and Bai Xiuxiu was aware of this. However, she also knew that their ability to overcome stronger opponents had limits.
Not far away, the Death God's Envoy, who had been rapidly closing in, suddenly halted, along with his army of corpse slaves and vengeful spirits. His gaze toward Huo Yuhao was filled with uncertainty.
Because Huo Yuhao had compressed his beastly aura within a small area, the Death God's Envoy didn't sense it at all.
Furthermore, due to the concealment of Huo Yuhao's Mimicry Soul Skill, Bai Xiuxiu, who was close by, could see the spatial rift, but the Death God's Envoy hadn't noticed it at all.
Still, the fact that a human youth had suddenly appeared in the middle of the ocean clearly siding with the Demon Soul Great White Shark felt highly suspicious.
"I need to test him," the Death God's Envoy thought, his mind racing.
"I have so many sea soul beast corpse slaves. If I use Corpse Explosion, anyone caught in the blast will be exposed. If things go wrong, I'll just flee immediately."
Making up his mind, he coldly ordered his minions, "Go! Kill them both!"
In an instant, over a hundred sea soul beast corpse slaves surged toward Huo Yuhao and Bai Xiuxiu, stirring up massive waves.
Bai Xiuxiu watched the approaching horde with concern, instinctively warning, "Senior, be careful! If you want to destroy these corpse slaves, you must completely obliterate their bodies! If their corpses remain intact, they can be reanimated!"
"I fought the Death God's Envoy earlier, and he injured me with Corpse Explosion. If he hadn't wanted to keep my body intact, I might have been blasted into dust already!"
Huo Yuhao nodded but wasn't the least bit concerned.
To him, the Death God's Envoy's tactics were nothing special. Corpse Explosion might have been a powerful skill among evil soul masters, but within the necromancer system, it was relatively basic.
Since Huo Yuhao possessed Water Dragon King's Soul Bone, he could use Water Manipulation soul skills to move freely in the ocean. If he were willing to expend significant soul power, he could even stir up massive tidal waves.
Thus, breathing underwater was practically effortless for him.
Golden light flickered in his eyes as five soul rings manifested around him.
Hiding his soul rings using Mimicry Soul Skill wasn't necessary if he didn't reveal his strength, his enemy would just flee. While he could still catch up with special methods, he preferred to end this quickly.
According to the original storyline, the Death God's Envoy was not someone who liked direct confrontations with stronger opponents. When Xuan Zi had captured him, he immediately took a hostage and escaped.
While he wasn't a genius tactician, he wasn't completely brainless either.
A staff appeared in Huo Yuhao's hands as he began chanting, white light gradually gathering at the tip.
The Death God's Envoy sneered, "I thought you were a powerful human soul master. But judging by your aura, you must be a transformed soul beast who has restarted cultivation at the Soul King level. Looks like I hit the jackpot today this is your death day!"
His eyes shone with excitement.
Even soul beasts that reincarnated into human forms still dropped soul rings and soul bones upon death. For one to reincarnate as human, it had to be at least a 100,000 year old soul beast.
And right now, he didn't have a single 100,000 year soul ring.
This was a massive opportunity!
But before he could make his move, a wave of white light suddenly swept across the entire sea, centered on Huo Yuhao.
The Death God's Envoy's army of corpse slaves and vengeful spirits was instantly enveloped by it.
A chilling black aura emerged from their bodies as they froze in place, refusing to advance any further.
The originally bloodshot eyes of the corpse slaves now glowed even redder, as if they were bleeding pure rage.
Then, they all turned around, let out furious roars, and charged toward the Death God's Envoy!
The Death God's Envoy's face twisted in shock.
"What the hell is happening?!"
His corpse slaves and vengeful spirits were supposed to be completely loyal!
Yet now, they had betrayed him?!
"This… This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
He was in denial, but his instincts told him to run.
He immediately tried to flee, hoping to avoid a direct fight with his own minions.
But before he could escape, the sea itself surged around him.
The ocean, as if under someone's absolute control, formed a massive vortex, trapping him within.
And now, he had no choice but to face the wrath of his own undead army.
