698 Soul Split
Since Little Brat also had to deal with Xing Chen, he had to look at Xing Chen from time to time.
He didn’t care about Xing Chen’s life, but he was worried about Huanhuan being in Xing Chen’s arms.
Xing Chen and Yan fought extremely fiercely. If they were not careful, the slightest carelessness would harm Huanhuan’s body.
Even so, Little Brat still had the upper hand and severely injured Zhi.
When Yan realized that his brother was injured, he immediately abandoned Xing Chen and ran toward Zhi.
Xing Chen followed.
Hence, the situation immediately turned into a chaotic battle between four people.
Huanhuan clenched Little Brat’s sleeve tightly and followed him closely. She looked at the four people fighting in front of her with a confused expression.
The altar had long been destroyed and was now in ruins.
The rain was still falling, but it showed no signs of letting up. Lightning flashed in the sky with a loud rumbling sound.
Huanhuan was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she still bit her lower lip to prevent herself from shouting and disturbing Little Brat.
There was another loud bang.
One of the lightning bolts suddenly struck down and landed where Sang Ye was standing!
The rich demonic energy was cut in half by the lightning. One could vaguely see a huge snake shadow.
When Huanhuan saw the snake’s shadow, her eyes widened involuntarily.
She saw the snake shadow being devoured by the demonic energy again, but not long after, the python came out of the demonic energy.
The python was Sang Ye, who had been devoured by the demonic energy.
The wounds on his body had already healed, and the magic patterns on the surface of his snakeskin had all disappeared. However, if one looked carefully, one could vaguely see red lights under his black snake scales.
Just now, his body almost exploded from the demonic energy. Just as he was about to die, he relied on his strong willpower to survive.
He had also benefited from this disaster. The demonic patterns fused into his flesh and blood, and his strength increased greatly.
According to the standards of soul beasts, his strength had already reached full stars. He was only a step away from becoming a demigod.
The python went to find his mate and found her in Xing Chen’s arms.
He immediately slithered toward Xing Chen.
With one more person on the battlefield, the situation changed again.
The python went to snatch Huanhuan from Xing Chen, but Xing Chen refused to let him go. The two sides directly fought. This gave Yan a chance to run and help his brother. The two brothers joined forces to deal with Little Brat.
Little Brat seemed to be struggling to fight two people at once.
At this moment, another bolt of lightning suddenly struck!
It landed beside Little Brat.
Huanhuan, who was following closely behind Little Brat, was struck by lightning. Her soul suddenly erupted with light, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.
After a short moment of surprise, Sang Ye and Xing Chen realized that it was Huanhuan’s soul. They stopped fighting at the same time. They pounced at her at lightning speed, wanting to snatch her soul.
Little Brat wanted to leave with Huanhuan’s soul. How could Zhi let them go?
He knew that he was no match for Little Brat, so he simply changed his target and attacked Huanhuan.
From how much Little Brat cared about her, as long as he controlled Huanhuan, Little Brat would definitely obediently surrender.
Huanhuan immediately became the target of everyone’s competition.
Xing Chen controlled the Soul-Devouring Vine to wrap itself around her left hand, while Sang Ye’s snake tail hooked around her right hand. Neither of them was willing to stop and tried their best to snatch her away.
Unexpectedly, the second bolt of lightning struck down from the sky!
A crack appeared in Huanhuan’s soul!
As she was a soul, she felt no pain.
But under everyone’s stunned gazes, her soul was torn apart!
Little Brat’s expression changed drastically. He rushed toward Xing Chen desperately, and his white holy light pushed Xing Chen away.
Xing Chen still refused to let go.
The holy light burned Xing Chen’s entire right hand until it melted, leaving only a white skeleton. However, he still grabbed a wisp of Huanhuan’s soul.
Little Brat wanted to snatch back the soul, but he was too late. Xing Chen had already run away with Huanhuan’s body and soul.
He happened to encounter Yun Hui, who had come to Dark Moon Temple to look for Huanhuan.
Yun Hui spread his wings and flew in the air. He immediately saw Huanhuan in Xing Chen’s hand and immediately rushed toward him.
Little Brat and Sang Ye also caught up.
Xing Chen was already injured. Facing the siege of the three of them, he was at a disadvantage.
But even so, he refused to let go of Huanhuan.
Sang Ye and Yun Hui dealt with the Soul-Devouring Vines from two directions. Little Brat approached Xing Chen’s main body. As long as the white holy light touched Xing Chen, the flesh on his body would dissolve.
When his right hand melted, he finally couldn’t carry Huanhuan.
Little Brat took the opportunity to snatch Huanhuan’s body back.
Xing Chen was furious. Countless Soul-Devouring Vines twisted crazily.
Yun Hui transformed into a black dragon and spat out black dragon breath. The Soul-Devouring Vines were melted by the dragon breath, but more quickly grew. The python swung his snake tail and swept away the newly grown Soul-Devouring Vines.
The situation was very disadvantageous to Xing Chen.
His rationality told him that if he stayed here and continued to be surrounded, he would not even be able to keep the wisp of soul in his hand, let alone snatch Huanhuan’s body back.
No matter how unwilling he was, Xing Chen could only escape with that wisp of soul.
Little Brat hugged Huanhuan’s body and could no longer chase after her.
Although Xing Chen had run away, Zhi and Yan were still there.
Little Brat was only concerned about Huanhuan’s safety now. He was not in the mood to argue with Zhi and Yan. He immediately left with Huanhuan’s body and soul. Yun Hui and Sang Ye were worried about Huanhuan and followed without a word.
Seeing them walk away, Yan tilted his head at his brother. “Aren’t we going after them?”
Zhi stood in the pouring rain, his expression ugly. “It’s useless to chase after them. That black dragon and python are very strong. The two of us might not be able to defeat them.”
Yan clicked his tongue. “That’s why I said I have to eat more sacrifices to become stronger faster. As long as I become stronger, I can do whatever I want.”
Speaking of sacrifices, Zhi retracted his gaze and turned to look at the altar beside him.
The altar had long been destroyed. The remains of the beasts’ severed fingers were scattered in the ruins. Blood had been washed everywhere by the rain. It could almost be considered a river of blood.
His burning gaze landed behind a boulder.
“Come out!”
A moment later, Tao Wei and Wu Huo walked out from behind the huge rock.
The black cat was in Wu Huo’s arms. Its originally bright black fur was drenched by the rain.
When it saw the two brothers, it subconsciously curled up into a ball.
It was a sign of fear.
Tao Wei and Wu Huo had been hiding behind the rock just now. They had seen everything that Zhi and Yan had said and done. They knew very well that this pair of brothers were out-and-out evil gods. If they wanted to get some benefits from them, they would definitely have to pay a huge price.
Even so, Tao Wei and Wu Huo were still willing to take the risk.
As long as they could obtain the support of these two evil gods and have them be their backers, Tao Wei and Wu Huo would definitely be able to get everything they wanted in the future!
Such a good opportunity was rare. The two of them would never give up.
Zhi saw greed in their eyes and couldn’t help but smile sinisterly.
“Were you the ones who summoned us with the sacrificial ritual?”
