Chapter 161: Counterattack in Despair, Angelic Domain Appears
Over ten flying soul tools shimmering with a faint, eerie light were quickly distributed to the remaining Soul Saints. These Spirit Tools were exquisitely designed and clearly of high quality; as soon as they were equipped, they resonated with the Soul Masters' own Soul Power, emitting a low hum.
The Soul Saints followed the instructions and injected their Soul Power into them. Strong air currents instantly erupted from the side wings of the Spirit Tools, and their previously sluggish and heavy flight posture was immediately transformed!
Although they still couldn't compare to the natural agility of Ye Guyi's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, which seemed to merge with the sky, their speed and flexibility had improved by several levels.
They no longer seemed to be clumsily climbing, but truly possessed the ability for high-speed maneuvers in the air. Like over ten well-trained falcons, they sliced through the sky in sharp trajectories, quickly reorganizing the encirclement.
The pressure suddenly intensified!
Ye Guyi immediately felt the change. Originally, by relying on her absolute advantage in speed and flexibility, she could weave freely through the siege, looking for weaknesses and even launching counterattacks. But now, with these Soul Saints coordinating with the two Soul Douluos, the encirclement had clearly become much tighter and faster.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Beams of light from long-range soul skills struck from all directions like a torrential storm. Although the power of a single attack wasn't enough to pose a fatal threat to Ye Guyi while she was defending with all her might, their sheer numbers were overwhelming and continuous. This greatly restricted her room to dodge, forcing her to frequently swing her Angel Sword to parry or shatter the incoming attacks.
The Angel Sword collided with various soul skills, setting off continuous ripples of energy that exploded in the air into bursts of brilliant but dangerous halos.
The lean Soul Douluo was clearly the tactical commander; he constantly issued short commands to adjust the formation of the encirclement. Sometimes they would contract, forcing Ye Guyi into a head-on clash; sometimes they would spread out, using long-range attacks to deplete her Soul Power.
The other strength-type Soul Douluo waited for his chance. Once Ye Guyi showed a moment of stiffness or a flaw, he would pounce like a tiger descending a mountain, his heavy fist winds smashing down fiercely, forcing Ye Guyi to focus all her attention on him.
But the most lethal remained the Titled Douluo Elder. He was like a maggot on a bone, tightly following Ye Guyi's main direction of attack. His dark green Ghost Claw appeared and disappeared unpredictably; every strike contained the terrifying power to shatter mountains and crack stones. His moves were ruthless and tricky, specifically targeting the areas Ye Guyi was forced to defend. Ye Guyi often had to expend a great deal of Soul Power and Spiritual energy just to barely block or avoid his fatal attacks.
Under such a multi-dimensional and dense siege, Ye Guyi instantly fell into an extremely passive situation.
She was like a small boat in a storm; although she was still struggling hard, she had clearly lost her previous composure. Her golden figure constantly flashed, blocked, and evaded in the air, her situation fraught with danger.
Although she swung the Angel Sword so tightly that it almost perfectly protected her body, any keen observer could see that she was completely on the defensive. She could only barely manage to parry and had no strength left to fight back. Her scorching holy aura was also suppressed to within a few feet of her body, no longer possessing its previous magnificent power.
"Hahaha! Let's see how long you can hold out!" The leading Titled Douluo, seeing their absolute advantage and how Ye Guyi's maneuvering space was being compressed smaller and smaller, couldn't help but feel greatly emboldened and laughed out loud.
He seemed to already see the generous rewards promised by the Holy Spirit Cult waving at him. His offensive became even more rapid and fierce, the dark green Ghost Claw leaving trails of afterimages as it poured toward Ye Guyi like a violent storm.
In his eyes, this exceptionally talented young girl was already a turtle in a jar; her defeat and death were only a matter of time. He even started calculating whether capturing her alive or killing her directly would fetch the greatest profit.
However, he failed to notice—or perhaps ignored in his ecstasy of holding the absolute upper hand—a single detail.
Under such a dense siege, despite Ye Guyi appearing extremely disheveled and barely managing every block, those golden eyes of hers, bright as the stars, didn't hold the slightest bit of despair or panic. Instead, they flickered with an extremely calm, even sharp light.
Opportunity is often hidden within a crisis.
"Boom!"
Another head-on confrontation.
The Titled Douluo Elder slammed a heavy Ghost Claw fiercely onto the Angel Sword Ye Guyi held across her front. The massive force sent her blood churning and her delicate body trembling violently. She flew backward like a kite with a broken string, the golden halo protecting her body dimming significantly, and a trickle of golden blood even seeped from the corner of her mouth.
"Now's the time! Take her down!"
Light exploded from the Titled Douluo Elder's eyes. Believing this to be the perfect opportunity, he closed in without hesitation. His ninth soul ring suddenly lit up, and dense dark green Soul Power gathered frantically on his right claw, manifesting into a massive phantom of a Ghost Claw that blotted out the sun. With the sound of a shrill ghostly howl, it clawed down toward the unsteady Ye Guyi!
He was determined to land this blow, intending to end the battle once and for all.
But at this critical moment, a sudden change occurred!
Ye Guyi, whose aura had been chaotic and who appeared to be at the end of her rope, saw that sharp light in her eyes suddenly surge to the limit!
"Angelic Domain, open!"
A clear, cold shout, seemingly containing some strange power of laws, instantly spread throughout the battlefield's sky.
With Ye Guyi as the center, an indescribable, purely golden radiance erupted without warning. This light wasn't a simple diffusion of Soul Power, but felt like the opening of an independent, holy kingdom!
In an instant, the space within a radius of several hundred meters seemed to be plated with a layer of flowing gold leaf. The dust in the air, the residual energy from soul skills, and even the scenery of the valley below were all rendered into pure gold at this moment.
A massive pressure suddenly descended. This pressure wasn't just pure force; it carried a holy, solemn will that cleansed all evil and filth. Within this golden-covered area, even the air seemed to become viscous and heavy, filled with a repulsive force against any non-holy attributes.
The Titled Douluo Elder, who was preparing to deliver the fatal blow, bore the brunt of it!
The moment his massive Ghost Claw phantom, condensed with immense Soul Power, rushed into this golden domain, it was like snow meeting a blazing sun. It made a sizzling sound of melting, and its size and solidity visibly shrank and faded!
And he himself felt as if he had suddenly fallen into an invisible quagmire. His dark green Soul Power, which had been flowing smoothly, suddenly became sluggish. It was as if he were carrying a great mountain on his back; his speed and strength were greatly restricted, and even breathing became difficult.
"This... this is... a domain?! You actually possess a domain?!" The ecstasy and confidence of victory on the Titled Douluo Elder's face instantly froze, replaced by a look of disbelief.
A domain! This was one of the top abilities in the world of Soul Masters, a symbol of touching upon the level of laws. Countless Titled Douluos spent their entire lives without ever being able to even find the entrance! He had cultivated bitterly for nearly a hundred years and still hadn't grasped his own domain. He never imagined that this young girl would actually master such a terrifying ability!
Meanwhile, at the center of the domain, Ye Guyi's aura underwent a world-shaking change.
Her previously flagging aura rose steadily as if injected with a stimulant. Golden radiance flowed around her body like a layer of holy battle armor. The three pairs of light wings on her back became more solid and broad; with every gentle flap, the falling light feathers carried sharp sword qi.
Holding the Angel Sword, she stood at the center of the golden kingdom like a goddess in charge of judgment. Her cold gaze locked onto the Titled Douluo ahead, whose figure was slightly stiff due to the domain's suppression.
The auras of both sides had completely reversed!
