Hu Liena and the others' escape was naturally noticed by Li Yu.
However, he did not stop them.
He never intended to kill the three of them; even the arrogant Yan had already been taught a lesson.
In fact, after this incident, whether Yan would survive was a question.
Moreover, the presence of these three also served as key characters to move the plot forward.
He needed the Continental Elite Young Soul Master Tournament to proceed normally, so he let them leave.
Even when using the 'Space Thorn Domain' to push them out, he was still holding that intention.
Additionally, if the three didn't leave, how could he have a satisfying battle with the hunchbacked man before him, the "leader"?
"Stop pretending!"
"If you do this, then you're just letting yourself be slaughtered; that would disappoint me greatly!"
Li Yu spoke indifferently.
It was only a matter of breaking an illusion, though it would result in a backlash, it was not enough to completely strip a Title Douluo of their ability to resist.
Sure enough.
The moment he finished speaking, the swirling black gas suddenly calmed down.
However.
The hunchbacked man's figure directly entered the massive [Skull].
Evidently, Li Yu previous move had still caused the hunchbacked man some fear.
"You really surprise me, young one!"
"What was that just now... What technique was that!"
The hunchbacked man was somewhat puzzled. He was genuinely curious about the method that made Li Yu appear like a God.
He was also afraid that Li Yu might reveal such a technique again, so he didn't act hastily, even pretending to be severely injured and allowing Hu Liena and the others to escape.
He was observing!
Observing Li Yu.
After testing earlier, he had noticed that Li Yu soul power was only level 70.
That meant he had not yet obtained his seventh soul ring and couldn't even be considered a Soul Sage.
For someone so young to reach such a level was truly unheard of; his talent was truly monstrous.
However...
He was still only at six rings.
Without external help, he wouldn't be his opponent!
Moreover, he had also considered whether Li Yu was adept at illusions and had created such a scene earlier.
But, could a six-ring Spirit King have higher spiritual power than him?
Could his illusion techniques surpass his?
It was impossible.
So, he was sure that Li Yu had used some external object!
Along with Li Yu cultivation, he was even more convinced that Li Yu had received an incredible opportunity!
Thus.
At this moment, he was still probing.
If Li Yu help couldn't be revealed, then he wouldn't need to use illusions and would act directly!
An opportunity... would then belong to him!
Greed gleamed in the hunchbacked man's eyes.
Li Yu was unaware of the hunchbacked man's thoughts. In response to his inquiry, Li Yu only smiled coldly:
"Guess!"
Immediately.
The 'Natural Life Domain' and 'Space Thorn Domain' both activated!
The former oppressed the hunchbacked man's senses, while the latter took control of the battlefield's space, sending countless thorns, fused with 'Finger Biting' power, toward the [Skull].
That was not all.
[Thunder Spirit] and [Thorn Dragon] also appeared one after another.
The black clouds spread within the thorny space, as if creating a new world.
Countless purple-golden thunderbolts rained down, turning the already prison-like thorn space into a lightning prison.
This was: The Lightning Prison Catastrophe.
Naturally, the [Thorn Dragon] was not idle.
Li Yu had comprehended 'Finger Biting,' and naturally, the dragon had secretly learned it too... probably directly used it.
Thus, the thorns fused with 'Finger Biting' power no longer required Li Yu to control them.
And all of this was completed in the blink of an eye!
"Mm!?"
The hunchbacked man looked at Li Yu, who had unleashed so many moves in the blink of an eye, and was even more shocked.
What kind of monster was this!
Was this the power a six-ring should have?
Even though he had already used his martial soul true body, and his full abilities had been enhanced, facing all of this in the guise of a Title Douluo, he still felt a slight threat.
However...
It was just a slight threat.
The fourth soul ring flickered.
The [Skull] suddenly emitted a dim white light, forming a larger white bone shield that completely enveloped the [Skull]!
White Bone Shield!
The sixth soul ring flickered.
Black whirlpools appeared in the space.
Immediately after, skeleton soldiers emerged from them and launched a counterattack against the [Thunder Spirit] and [Thorn Dragon].
Skeleton Summoning!
Unfortunately.
These summoned skeleton soldiers were too weak in front of the [Thunder Spirit] and [Thorn Dragon].
The thunderbolts lightly fell, and the space thorns unintentionally brushed against them. The skeleton soldiers instantly shattered into bone fragments that fell to the ground.
"Your strength doesn't seem that impressive!"
Li Yu stared at the [Skull] and disdainfully commented.
However, he remained alert in his heart, his hand slightly glowing with light.
A Title Douluo... how could it be so easy to deal with, unless... the opponent was truly sealed...
Just as Li Yu finished speaking.
The hunchbacked man coldly snorted, "Young one, so arrogant!"
The eighth soul ring gleamed.
Buzzing~
A humming sound suddenly began.
Then, the bone fragments scattered across the ground began to tremble!
Soon, thousands of bone fragments, still continuing to form, levitated in the air, each enveloped in black gas.
Fragile as paper, the bone fragments that the [Thunder Spirit] and [Thorn Dragon] could shatter with a light touch now emitted a sharp aura!
Buzzing~
The humming sound resumed. This time, the floating bone fragments suddenly shot out, colliding with the [Thunder Spirit], [Thorn Dragon], and the Lightning Prison Thorn Space!
The sky was filled with sharp bone fragments, like a locust swarm, blocking the view.
This was: Bone Blade Storm!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Bone Blade Storm swept through, continuously tearing apart the Lightning Prison Thorn Space. Under this storm, the [Thunder Spirit] and [Thorn Dragon] became increasingly weaker.
Li Yu expression tightened.
Helpless, he had to recall both [Thunder Spirit] and [Thorn Dragon] back into the Elemental Spirit Domain.
He himself had already been outside the space when the battle started, after the two domains were laid out.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to watch the battle unfold so calmly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Bone Blade Storm's assault continued.
Without the help of [Thunder Spirit] and [Thorn Dragon], the skeleton soldiers that continued to emerge from the "Summoning Gate" no longer held back, raising their fists to smash themselves to death.
They fell and shattered into pieces.
As the Bone Blade Storm consumed more.
"Mm!"
Li Yu frowned slightly, already feeling the pressure.
Once [Thorn Dragon] was recalled, the 'Thorn Space Domain' naturally fell under his distracted control.
At this moment.
Under the sweeping Bone Blade Storm, the Thorn Space was showing signs of collapsing!
He had to admit, the hunchbacked man's soul skills worked perfectly together!
That 'Skeleton Summoning' seemed to never run out of soul power, and the skeletons never ceased.
The skeleton soldiers could both consume the opponent's soul power when advancing and self-destruct when retreating. Both methods didn't prevent them from feeding the 'Bone Blade Storm.'
Furthermore, defensive skills were also present, even able to resist the space thorns imbued with 'Finger Biting' power!
And this was achieved while the opponent was in their martial soul true body state.
However...
The opponent had only used five soul skills!
And...
Boom!
Li Yu face paled.
The Lightning Prison Thorn Space had been shattered!
