The poor Faceless, in the state of a soul, was unexpectedly struck by the heaven's retribution curse reactivated by Lord of the Jiang Family, unleashing the ancient dragon's fury. After resisting death, Faceless was subsequently killed!
The time taken for these three attacks? Less than a second!
Outside, the remaining seven Faceless turned pale, their physical attributes uniformly decreased by one-eighth.
A sense of disorientation swept over them again. When Wen Yu’s soul returned to his body, he saw Lord of the Jiang Family opening his eyes at the same time.
However, after the earlier distraction caused by Faceless, Wen Yu already understood what he needed to do.
"Soul Battlefield!"
Soul energy surged rapidly out of Wen Yu’s body, and in an instant, it enveloped both him and Lord of the Jiang Family. With another separation of the soul, the raging heaven's retribution halo and heavenly disaster outside gradually calmed down.
These two mass slaughter techniques were both continuous skills; while they were powerful, they could easily be interrupted by external forces. The soul battlefield inherently countered such skills.
As Wen Yu and Lord of the Jiang Family entered the soul battlefield, the remaining seven Faceless quickly sprang into action.
...
"Creation Energy."
"I have a bit."
"I also have a little."
After transforming into Wen Yu, Faceless didn't have any Creation Energy, but the soul creation technique was still active. Therefore, he could still absorb Creation Energy through this technique.
The Demon Realm was a place rife with warfare, and the air was not lacking in soul energy; extracting a bit of Creation Energy from it was still feasible.
Of course, the amount was not much.
At this moment, the seven Faceless pieced together a bit of Creation Energy, and after transferring it, all the energy was placed into one Faceless's hands. With the surge of Creation Energy, a small round stone golem suddenly emerged from the ground.
"Buzz buzz…"
The newly born soul puppet emitted a confused buzzing sound. Faceless, the creator, paid it no mind and extended his hand, issuing a command to the small stone golem.
"Bring the gun back to me."
A simple command that the small stone golem could naturally understand. It slowly crawled toward Lord of the Jiang Family, causing the Faceless to become anxious.
However, it was proven that in the soul state, Wen Yu was certainly not weak. At least in front of Lord of the Jiang Family, he managed to withstand the continuous onslaught of time until the small stone golem returned the vicious weapon to Faceless. With the weapon in hand, Faceless tentatively shot at Lord of the Jiang Family twice...
It was ineffective...
As expected— even now, the soul battlefield was still used by Wen Yu as a defensive measure, and the mutated soul battlefield could not be breached by anything other than foundation-level soul system attacks. How could a mere item break through it?
However, at that moment, Faceless suddenly recalled a tactic previously envisioned by Wen Yu.
"You, take the gun, go again!"
With a flash of inspiration, Faceless issued another command to the small stone golem.
"Buzz buzz buzz…"
The small stone golem, with great effort, held the gun and rolled back into the soul battlefield.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Gunshots rang out again. This time, the vicious bullets successfully struck Lord of the Jiang Family's body...
Without the barrier of the soul battlefield, the viciousness was unleashed.
A few Faceless exchanged glances, seemingly surprised that such a simple method had not been thought of by their big boss earlier.
...
In fact, Wen Yu not only thought of it; he could also see it.
However, many things become apparent only when they directly affect you, and you don't realize their difficulties.
For example, the battle taking place inside the soul battlefield...
Wen Yu understood that as long as he trapped Lord of the Jiang Family and waited for the viciousness to accumulate to 10,000 layers, Lord of the Jiang Family would naturally surrender. But there was one issue.
