Chapter 160: The Aerial Combat Advantage of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul
Ye Guyi's decision was undoubtedly correct and decisive. Facing the imminent encirclement on the ground, she knew that once she was surrounded, no matter how powerful her Angel Martial Soul was, she wouldn't be able to fight off so many opponents. The moment her Soul Power was exhausted would be the moment of her downfall.
Only the sky, a domain that was almost like a home field for the Six-winged Angel, could maximize her advantages and win her a glimmer of hope for survival.
Just as she expected, the moment she soared into the sky, transforming into a golden stream of light piercing through the heavens, the group of pursuers on the ground remained calm despite their surprise. They shouted in anger, their various Soul Ring light flashing. Relying on the control over Soul Power that Soul Masters of the Soul Saint level and above possessed, they forcibly broke free from the earth's shackles and took to the air in pursuit.
However, just as Ye Guyi had judged, the difference in flight capability was now being displayed to its fullest extent.
Those dozen or so Soul Saint level experts could briefly stay airborne with their dense Soul Power, but their movements were clearly sluggish and heavy, as if they were stuck in an invisible quagmire. Every time they changed direction in the air, it seemed quite difficult, more like they were using brute force to "climb" and "shift." Their speed and flexibility were greatly compromised, and they barely managed to follow behind, forming an aerial encirclement that appeared loose and full of holes.
The two Soul Douluos were in a slightly better situation. Their Soul Power was more condensed, and their self-control was stronger, making their flight much smoother. They could remain relatively stable in the air and attempted to flank her, intending to restrict Ye Guyi's movement space. However, their flight paths still carried a hint of stiffness, far from reaching the level of seamless, effortless control.
The leading Titled Douluo Elder was undoubtedly the most troublesome presence. Dark green Soul Power surged around him like he was riding a gale. He was the fastest and most stable, clinging tightly behind Ye Guyi. His sinister gaze locked onto her back like a venomous snake, constantly closing the distance.
Supported by Titled Douluo level Soul Power, his flight was already quite methodical. However, when it came to the ultimate control of nimble maneuvers, instantaneous acceleration, and sudden stops or turns in the air, he was still a cut below Ye Guyi, who was born with a top-tier flying Martial Soul.
This was the innate advantage brought by bloodline and Martial Soul, which could not be easily compensated for by later efforts. One must know that ten thousand years ago, her ancestor Qian Daoliu, who was known as "Invincible in the Sky," built his reputation precisely on the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul's absolute control over the heavens.
Feeling the uneven speeds and the clearly divided formation of the pursuers behind her, Ye Guyi instantly had a plan.
She didn't blindly flee higher or further away. Instead, with a flap of her wings, her figure traced a graceful yet eerie arc in the sky like a soaring swift. With a sudden whirl, she actually took the initiative to charge toward the group of Soul Saints in the rear-flank who were the slowest and had the most scattered formation!
"She wants to break through! Stop her!" the Titled Douluo Elder immediately realized Ye Guyi's intention and shouted sharply. At the same time, he accelerated forward, dark green Soul Power condensing in his palm to form a massive Ghost Claw, which he used to claw at Ye Guyi from a distance.
The two Soul Douluos also hurriedly closed in from both sides, attempting to compress Ye Guyi's range of movement.
But Ye Guyi's speed was simply too fast, and her changes in direction were too agile. With all six wings flapping together and holy light erupting, her figure left behind a series of afterimages in the sky, narrowly avoiding the Titled Douluo's Ghost Claw capture and causing the two Soul Douluos' interceptions to hit nothing but air.
And at this moment, she had already charged in front of those Soul Saints like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Seeing the figure bathed in holy light, holding a golden Angel Sword and looking like a Goddess of War, suddenly drawing near, these Soul Saints were thrown into chaos. They felt the intense pressure brought by the pure light attribute and the soul-shivering edge of the Angel Sword.
"Divine Light: Radiance!"
Ye Guyi gave them no chance. Her cold shout rang out as she pointed her left hand toward the sky. A sphere of golden light, condensed to the extreme, suddenly erupted like a miniature sun exploding. The blindingly intense light instantly enveloped a space of dozens of meters.
This light was not a pure attack; it also carried a strong blinding and Spiritual interference effect. Several Soul Saints felt only a searing white before their eyes, their eyes stinging and tearing up. Their Spiritual Sea also felt a piercing pain as if pricked by needles. Their condensed Soul Power instantly dissipated, and their movements all stiffened at once.
In that lightning-fast moment, the Angel Sword in Ye Guyi's hand had already transformed into a bolt of golden lightning!
"Puchi!"
The sword light swept with incomparable precision across the neck of the nearest Soul Saint, who was still in a daze. That Soul Saint couldn't even let out a scream. His protective Soul Power was like paper before the Angel Sword. A head soared into the sky with an expression of shock and bewilderment, and warm blood gushed out like a fountain. The headless corpse stiffened in the air for a moment before falling powerlessly toward the valley below.
A fatal blow with a single strike!
Clean and efficient!
After insta-killing a Soul Saint, Ye Guyi didn't linger. Using her forward momentum, her six wings flapped vigorously again. Her figure wove through the gaps in the chaotic formation of the remaining Soul Saints like a swimming fish, instantly leaving the area and pulling away from her pursuers once more.
The entire process happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that people couldn't react in time.
By the time the Titled Douluo Elder and the two Soul Douluos arrived, all they saw was the falling corpse of the Soul Saint, the faint scent of blood permeating the air, and scattered specks of holy light.
"Useless trash!" The Titled Douluo Elder's face turned ashen as he cursed. Looking at Ye Guyi, who was once again hovering in the air at a distance, staring coldly at them with sword in hand, the killing intent in his eyes almost solidified.
He hadn't expected that even with an absolute numerical advantage, they would still have one of their men insta-killed by the opponent. This was simply a humongous disgrace!
What shocked him even more was the mobility and combat intelligence Ye Guyi displayed in the air, which far exceeded his estimations.
If this continued, unless they could corner her or restrict her flight capability, even if they could eventually wear her down to death, they would surely have to pay an extremely heavy price.
The lean Soul Douluo who had previously taken out the detection soul tool also looked terrible. He glanced at the falling corpse of his companion and then at Ye Guyi, who was as difficult to catch as a golden sprite in the sky. A flash of ruthlessness and determination crossed his eyes.
"We can't let her keep using her aerial advantage so recklessly!" he said in a low voice to the Titled Douluo Elder and the other Soul Douluo. Then, the storage soul tool on his wrist flashed repeatedly.
In the next moment, more than ten identical-looking objects with a metallic luster were tossed by him toward those shaken Soul Saints in the air.
"Everyone, equip these flying soul tools immediately!" the lean Soul Douluo ordered in a tone that brooked no argument.
