Chapter 5944

The sky above the Five Elements Mountains was shredded by the clash of two colossal forces. The thunderous roar of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts collided with the eerie, soul-slicing shrieks of the Evil Path Hall’s vanguard, shaking the earth and rattling the hearts of everyone who watched.

The monster tide surged forward like a living wave. Iron-backed earth dragons rammed into the soul hunters, their carapaces grinding and shattering the enemy’s formation. Gale wolves spun in cyan whirlwinds, claws rending soul armor, fangs tearing throats. Above, the thunder-winged golden eagles dove like living lightning, each strike splitting shields and scattering opponents. Yet the soul hunters, elite of the Evil Path Hall, held firm, stabilizing their ranks even as their comrades fell.

Li Baichuan’s roar tore through the chaos, calling forth the three Flame Lion Kings. Fire, ice, and thunder erupted from their three heads, coiling into a single three-colored pillar of devastation. It smashed into the soul-capturing array, annihilating dozens of soul hunters in a blinding explosion.

But the Soul Devouring Puppet was not idle. Its gray eyes locked on the Lion Kings, the spear in its hand moving faster than perception, piercing toward them like a streak of death.

“Your opponent is me!” the puppet intoned, a voice that resonated with the authority of the Evil Path Hall itself.

Li Baichuan met the strike with his beast bone battle axe, the clash producing a deafening metallic roar. The impact sent him flying backward, crashing into the mountainside, blood dripping from his split lips. But before he could fully recover, his eyes flared with battle fury. He leapt again, charging the puppet, determined to match its godlike power with raw ferocity.

At the same moment, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion rose into the air. Dugu Ao unsheathed his iron sword fully, a brilliant beam of sword energy slicing across the horizon.
