Huo Yuhao flew down. The skeletal sphere happened to be rolling in his direction. Huo Yuhao was already planning to cause them trouble, so there was no reason not to take advantage of the situation. He summoned the Evil God Sword. Then, he held the sword with both hands and slashed down.
Crack, crack!
A sound that made your teeth ache echoed. The skeletal sphere flew back at a faster speed than it had come, dropping a dozen white bones along the way.
By a stroke of luck, when the skeletal sphere stopped, it was only about five meters away from the Golden Skirt Woman. After stopping, the skeletal sphere revealed its skeletal form again, but it had been struck by Huo Yuhao's sword. Now, the right side, including the arm and right leg, was missing.
Without the support of its legs, the skeleton couldn't even stand up. Moreover, Huo Yuhao's sword had severely wounded it, and it was on the verge of death. The green ghost fire in its eye sockets flickered, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.
Seeing this, the Golden Skirt Woman walked over with a blank expression. She condensed a golden longsword in her hand, then slashed down at the defenseless skeleton.
With a single strike, the head was severed. The green ghost fire in the skeleton's eye sockets was completely extinguished, and its head rolled away.
As the skeleton completely died, wisps of black air emerged from its broken, headless corpse. Huo Yuhao then watched as the skeleton gradually transformed into a human male corpse, completely naked. The rolling skull also turned into the head of a young man with white, short hair and a handsome face.
Ugh, this is too much! Huo Yuhao's expression was slightly awkward.
However, the Golden Skirt Woman didn't see this. After chopping off the skeleton's head, she turned and walked in another direction. Following the direction she was walking, Huo Yuhao was startled. He saw someone he knew.
Light blue athletic wear, long black hair tied into a simple ponytail, a melon-seed face, exquisite features, and an aura that made people feel very uncomfortable, although it was very faint.
Tang Ya, a fourth-year student from the outer court of Shrek Academy, and the Tang Sect's master. But at this moment, Tang Ya was unconscious for some reason.
How could she be here? According to the original story, Tang Ya should have been captured by the Holy Spirit Cult long ago.
Huo Yuhao frowned deeply. From Tang Ya to the Abyssal Plane, everything felt unusual. The development of the plot was becoming less and less clear.
And these weren't things Huo Yuhao had changed. He knew that his small butterfly wings were not yet capable of affecting the Abyssal Plane.
"Not good!" Huo Yuhao saw the Golden Skirt Woman had reached Tang Ya and raised her longsword.
Four soul rings, yellow, purple, purple, and purple, appeared on Huo Yuhao. His fourth soul skill activated instantly.
Evil God's Protection.
A purple-black light shield enveloped Tang Ya's entire body. At the same moment, the golden longsword descended.
Tang Ya was already a lamb to the slaughter, so the Golden Skirt Woman didn't use much force. This sword strike landed on the Evil God's Protection, but not only did it fail to break the shield, the Golden Skirt Woman also suffered a recoil, staggering backward several steps.
Huo Yuhao flashed in front of Tang Ya, preventing the Golden Skirt Woman from attacking her again. However, Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with shock as he looked at the Golden Skirt Woman.
Although Evil God's Protection was his fourth soul skill, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that produced it had a cultivation base of over forty thousand years. Even though it was limited by his Soul Ancestor cultivation, the defense of Evil God's Protection was comparable to a normal Soul Emperor's sixth soul skill.
But just now, that ordinary strike from the Golden Skirt Woman had broken almost twenty percent of Evil God's Protection's defense.
But Huo Yuhao quickly understood. It was attribute suppression. The opponent's holy attribute naturally suppressed the evil and darkness of Evil God's Protection.
The Golden Skirt Woman steadied herself, her eyes sweeping coldly over Huo Yuhao. Confusion flickered within them. What's going on with this person? She'd just helped her kill the evil soul master, and now he was turning around to stop her?
"What do you mean by this?" the Golden Skirt Woman demanded of Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao didn't know what to say. No matter how he looked at it, Tang Ya was now a genuine evil soul master. After a moment of silence, Huo Yuhao spoke, "I know her. I don't know why she's become like this, but I think we should at least try to understand what's happening."
"What a joke. Just because you know her, you're going to protect her? Do you think I'll let her go?" The Golden Skirt Woman sneered, not giving Huo Yuhao any face. Honestly, the aura emanating from Huo Yuhao made her feel very uncomfortable. However, she could sense that the other person wasn't an evil soul master, so she hadn't attacked. But that didn't mean Huo Yuhao could stop her from punishing evil and promoting good.
Huo Yuhao also knew his reasoning was a bit far-fetched, but he couldn't just stand by and watch Tang Ya be killed.
Nodding, Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Since you insist, then let's see who's stronger."
The Golden Skirt Woman's expression turned even colder. He really doesn't understand the situation. She couldn't figure out how a Soul Ancestor just over level forty had the audacity to speak to her like that.
Despite her confusion, the Golden Skirt Woman's actions were swift. She raised her hand and slashed forward with her sword. Then, her fifth soul skill, Holy Sword.
Wielding the Evil God Sword, Huo Yuhao effortlessly dispersed the golden sword energy that came at him. However, he also saw the Golden Skirt Woman's fifth soul ring flashing. His eyelids twitched. He had seen this move before; the Soul Emperor in the black robe had been killed by this very attack.
Huo Yuhao felt confident, and defeating a Soul Emperor wasn't a problem for him. But to kill someone with a single move was unlikely, unless he was willing to use his mental power without restraint. However, the recovery of mental power was slow. Therefore, few people used it as a regular combat method. Even though Huo Yuhao had the Heavenly Demon Technique, which allowed him to recover mental power faster than others, he still preferred not to use it unless necessary.
Spiral Slash!
Without further ado, seeing the Golden Skirt Woman already swinging her sword towards him, Huo Yuhao unleashed his signature move, putting in all his strength. The Golden Skirt Woman's power made him not dare to be careless.
The two sword lights intertwined. Initially, the white-gold longsword and the blood-red sword light were at a stalemate. But soon, the Golden Skirt Woman's Holy Sword surpassed Huo Yuhao's sword light and shattered it.
Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised. A Spiral Slash without a domain couldn't compete with a Soul Emperor, and this woman was a rare powerhouse among the Soul Emperors.
But that didn't matter. If one sword light didn't work, he'd use another. This was the advantage of self-created soul skills; there was no cooldown.
Another sword light was swung out. The two sword lights collided. The Holy Sword, already weakened, lacked sufficient power. This time, it was barely able to match Huo Yuhao's sword light. Both attacks dissipated simultaneously, and the released energy spread outwards.
Huo Yuhao didn't feel much. He had been flying with Dugu Bo all along and was still at full health.
To his surprise, the Golden Skirt Woman actually fell over stiffly from the insignificant energy impact.
Uh, this… could he have run into a scammer?
