Chapter 980: A Bone-chilling Massacre and the Chance of Escaping?!

Upgrade Specialist in Another World

Another large group of Soul Exalts had gathered in front of him. They too were in a strict formation like the one before. The only difference with this one was that two Early-stage Soul King stood at the front of the group. With those two, the group was able to let loose an attack comparable to that of a Late-stage Soul King to hopefully stop Bai Yunfei.

But Bai Yunfei wasn’t one that’d be intimidated by such an attack. Forming hand seals in front of his chest, Bai Yunfei prepared for an attack of his own!

A tremendous amount of power gathered forth in his body before exiting out from his arms in the form of two dragons!

Another Dual Dragon Burst! 

“Boom!!!”

The two attacks struck one another at the midpoint between Bai Yunfei and the group of soul refiners, exploding and covering the entire area with elemental energy.

The group of soul refiners was extremely anxious. They watched with bated breaths to see if their attack had succeeded in stopping Bai Yunfei. All of them were hoping that it worked and Bai Yunfei was dead… 

Their questions were responded to a second later when a streak of red light flew out from the smoke towards their group!

“Ah! Ah! Ahhhh….!”

Screams filled the skies as all the students realized Bai Yunfei was alive. Trying as hard as they might, many of the students failed to run away in time from Bai Yunfei and were cut down on the spot.

Bai Yunfei was like the death reaper basked in a cloak of flames and the Fire-tipped Spear his scythe. Each swing of the spear claimed the life of another and sprayed the air with a bloody mist. The spear itself was burning with a heat strong enough to evaporate the majority of the blood so that the flames themselves were stained with a bloody color, making it a quite dreadful sight.

“Die!!”

A furious cry came from the right as a black beam of light shot out at Bai Yunfei. And then a beam of violet and black light followed!

The two Early-stage Soul Kings were finally starting their attack!

Anger was a good way to bring out the latent power in a person, but these two were still only just Early-stage Soul Kings in the end. How could they fight against the Late-stage Soul King that was Bai Yunfei? They wouldn’t even last a single blow!

“Boom! Boom!!”

The two beams of light impacted against the barrier of Bai Yunfei and left behind ripples over its surface. Narrowing his eyes, Bai Yunfei sent a fireball towards the right along with the Heaven’s Thunder!

“Ah!”

“Ahh!!”

The two Soul Kings cried out at the same time as the fireball exploded. Many of the Soul Exalts who didn’t manage to get out of the way fast enough succumbed to the fireball, and one of the Soul Kings were forced to get away from the blast radius.

The other Soul King was trying his best to dodge the Heaven’s Thunder each time it came at him, but there was already a deep gash on his left shoulder and both his arms were already missing large chunks.

Ignoring the Soul King on his right, Bai Yunfei went for the Soul King on his left. 

“Ah!!!”

The Soul King reacted with fear at the sight of Bai Yunfei approaching him. He shot out a beam of elemental energy to strike while also propping up a golden shield in front of him so he could retreat in safety.

Bai Yunfei was moving faster than he was, however, and the elemental attack he sent out hadn’t done anything to hamper Bai Yunfei’s advance. Like a bolt of lightning, Bai Yunfei closed the distance between them and stabbed his spear forward!

“Clang! Crack…pcht!!”

The golden shield crumbled under the penetrative force of Bai Yunfei’s spear. Cracks appeared all over its surface before allowing the spear to go through it and into the man’s chest!

“Boom!!”

Bai Yunfei’s right hand swung the spear for a loop. Even if the Fire-tipped Spear’s additional effect didn’t activate, all Bai Yunfei had to do was send a pulse of elemental fire through the spear to have the Soul King torn apart!

The Soul King died a gruesome death with blood and fire spilling everywhere. His space rings and soul armaments were already confiscated by Bai Yunfei without delay.

“I said it before…get in my way and die!!”

Bai Yunfei exclaimed to the the pale-faced soul refiners in front of him. His words brokered no signs of mercy in them. He gripped the spear tightly in his hand before charging forward again!

“Don’t kill me! I won’t get in your way, so do—agh!!”

On his way out from this place, Bai Yunfei came across a frightened soul refiner who had been too slow to get out of the way. Already cowered by Bai Yunfei, the soul refiner was begging for Bai Yunfei not to kill him.

But it was useless. The Fire-tipped Spear stabbed straight through his chest before he was tossed to the side. He stood in Bai Yunfei’s way and was subsequently dealt with!

“Ah! Ah! Ahhh….!”

Screams rung in the air as Bai Yunfei began to massacre everyone in his flight path!

He was like a reaper from the underworld that tore up everything in his way. Whether they be a Soul Exalt or Soul King, they would all be killed! Not even that Soul King earlier had managed to last more than two blows! 

The formation of the Soul Exalts was a desperate plan that’d hoped to build up power through numbers. It was definitely as foolish as hoping to drown a man by having everyone spit on them. But in the end…the plan backfired, and now they were all choking on their own spit!

Everyone was…deeply terrified.

There were the fortunate few who had either managed to retreat in time or were located outside Bai Yunfei’s path. They were all heaving a relieved sigh to themselves as they watched their companions get slaughtered. None of them bothered to remake the formation to try and stop Bai Yunfei again.

“There’s a chance!!”

Rays of hope were shining down on Bai Yunfei now. As much as he wanted to stick around and kill all the soul refiners here, Bai Yunfei knew he was already too deep in trouble to even entertain that notion.

There was hardly anyone in his path now, and the two beams of light that were coming over to him was for some reason stopped a little farther away. They hadn’t come closer to Bai Yunfei while he was busy with the Soul Kings, and they didn’t seem on planning to come over. Bai Yunfei could barely even sense their auras.

But Bai Yunfei knew they were Soul Kings.

“This is the final push…time to finish it!”

He was determined to use even the +13 additional effect of the Fire-tipped Spear if it meant getting out of here. It was his greatest chance to kill any worthwhile opponent as fast as possible.

He could also tell that there was a faint barrier obstructing his path just a few dozen kilometers away. Beyond that was a white-sky and world that seemed completely different to the one he was in. 

That had to be the point that separated the grounds of the outside world and the Soul Refining School. 

Or in other words, that was the point where Bai Yunfei could use the Core Stone to teleport away! If he could make it over there, then he’d be able to escape and be free!

Bai Yunfei burned with the fires of determination now that hope was so close. Throwing off everyone nearby him, he flew straight for where the two Soul Kings were!

“Two Mid-stage Soul Kings!”

He could feel how strong they were when he got close enough within distance. Bai Yunfei gave a sigh of relief. 

As long as there weren’t any Late-stage Soul Kings, he wouldn’t be in too much trouble… 

Refocusing on the task at hand, Bai Yunfei kicked up his speed another notch. His soulforce was blazing out from his body in the form of flames to seemingly scorch the heavens with its heat. And like a shooting star, Bai Yunfei moved in to kill the two Soul Kings!

He was planning to use the Soul Anchoring Technique to stop one enemy and then kill the other with the +13 additional effect of the Fire-tipped Spear. If his enemies weren’t doing anything, then he’d be the one to make the first move!

“Ha!!”

“Die!!”

The two Soul Kings cried out as they sent a ripple of transparent energy towards him!

Soul attacks!

Though he planned on making the first strike, Bai Yunfei wasn’t all too sad about this!

That was because he could feel the Soul Sentinel Scarf start to pulsate strangely on the top of his forehead!

“Ah!!”

In the next second, the Soul King on the left let out a shriek of pain!

The Soul Sentinel Scarf’s additional effect to counter soul attacks had activated!

“Now’s my chance!!” Bai Yunfei’s eyes gleamed with a bright ray of light, “Freeze!” He roared!

The Soul Anchoring Technique was aimed for the Soul King on the right!

The Soul Anchoring Technique smashed through the soul attack of the person on the right with the force of a typhoon and seized hold of the Soul King at once!

He was weaker than Bai Yunfei, and his soul attack even less comparable to the Soul Anchoring Technique. There was no way he wouldn’t be able to avoid it!

And in that moment, both Soul Kings had been on the receiving end of a soul attack instead of it being the other way around!

“Whoosh!”

A streak of violet light could be seen as the Heaven’s Thunder flew towards the Soul King on the left. He was defenseless due to the soul attack and the Heaven’s Thunder was perfect for dealing with him. On the right, Bai Yunfei leapt at the other Soul King with the Fire-tipped Spear!

This was a hard chance to come by, and Bai Yunfei was now filled with the intent to kill these two Soul Kings at once!

His eyes held no mercy in them. Bai Yunfei was already looking to the barrier in front of him. If he could kill them and get to that place, then he’d be able to leave the Soul Refining School…

But then…
