Upgrade Specialist in Another World
Chapter 1338: Shangguan Xiongyan's Death
Energy.
He felt the unmistakable feeling of energy course through his body for some reason. It was like he was bursting with it!
The strangest thing about this sensation was that this ‘energy’ didn’t feel like his!
“This…has to be the energy from the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord’s soul, right?!”
Bai Yunfei thought to himself, his eyes wide-open with shock.
“Is that possible?! Does ‘Possession’ have a result like this?! If I devour his soul, does that mean I get his power? Or…does it get turned into experience?!”
It was an unexpected surprise Bai Yunfei was having trouble wrapping his head around…maybe he should ‘thank’ the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord for this. This was a splendid present to receive!!
The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord failed to Possess him and his own soul became a sort of reward for Bai Yunfei. While not all of his experience as a Mid-stage Soul Saint was given to Bai Yunfei, a good portion equivalent to a small half of the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance was still earned!
The power he gained was being stored within his soul to be assimilated later. He was confident that once he was done, this would be enough to help him become a Mid-stage Soul Saint!
And so, Bai Yunfei felt absolutely giddy at having an unexpected present. But now wasn’t the time to be trying to absorb it…
……
“Phew…”
Drawing in a deep breath, he forced his body to a calm and looked off to the right.
“Yunfei! Are you alright!?”
A brilliant beam of light shot across the skies then and came to a stop right beside Bai Yunfei. It was a worried Xiao Qi.
“I’m fine, don’t worry. It’s all thanks to you, Xiao Qi. “ Bai Yunfei smiled.
“Haha! Oh stop it, Yunfei, of course I would! But what was that? Is he gone? I was so scared…good thing I came here fast enough.”
“The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord tried to ‘Possess’ my soul. Thankfully Sentinel and Sealer stopped it and you were there to help me. Because of you three, I was able to reverse the situation, the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord is definitely gone.”
“Okay then…” Xiao Qi chirped, “I did it, Yunfei! I managed to kill the Abyssal Snake! Haha! All by myself!!”
Bai Yunfei decided to be quite generous with his compliments after seeing the pride on Xiao Qi’s face. “Haha, yes yes, you’re amazing...”
In truth, Bai Yunfei was feeling a little nolstagic. It seemed like forever Xiao Qi had been his helper in all his fights. But now Xiao Qi was someone that had grown enough to be able to kill a Saint. This pace of growth was terrifyingly fast even for a soulbeast.
He looked off to the other side after his praises of Xiao Qi.
“Boom!!!”
A sea of flames cascaded across the skies to Bai Yunfei’s left. Explosions went off one after another as two individuals clashed against one another and then split off again.
The one that retreated to the left turned to look at Bai Yunfei, horrified shock filling their face at the sight.
“The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord failed? It…it can’t be!!”
Shangguan Xiongyan’s face was so pale it looked like he was without blood almost. Gaping at Bai Yunfei, he could only just stand there, frozen as though he was stuck in a prison of shock.
His battle with Shen Pojun had been nothing but a deadlock. Two Regalias weren’t even enough to give him an edge over his opponent since the Soul Seeker’s Mirror wasn’t even meant for combat. It had high defensive stats but little use other than to protect his heart if an attack were to be aimed there. The Triumphant Flame was the real powerhouse of defensive equipment.
In terms of attacking power, Shangguan Xiongyan hadn’t anything that could beat out Shen Pojun’s Flame Dragon Crescent Blade. So he was in a position where he was neither able to beat Shen Pojun but unable to be defeated either.
For him, that was fine since he wasn’t trying to win. His goal was to stall for time until the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord could defeat Bai Yunfei. Together, the two would then easily dispose Shen Pojun! And if not, then the Abyssal Snake Saint could probably come and help him after defeating Xiao Qi.
But neither cases happened, much to his shock. Instead of coming to help him, the Abyssal Snake Saint died at the hands of Xiao Qi!
He didn’t know what was going on. At the time when the Abyssal Snake Saint died, Shangguan Xiongyan had to stop for a moment to compose himself.
Only when Bai Yunfei let out a cry of panic when the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord did Shangguan Xiongyan feel a little better about his situation. It even served to unsettle Shen Pojun as the latter began to fight a little more hurriedly than before.
The happiness was short-lived, however. Once Shangguan Xiongyan drew closer to Bai Yunfei he realized that something was wrong. The Bloodsoaked Demon Lord’s soul was completely gone and Bai Yunfei’s aura was even stronger than before!
Both his allies, the Abyssal Snake Saint and even the Bloodsoaked Demon Lord were defeated!!
The realization was enough to fill the man with absolute dread.
He had to flee! Right away!!
A decision was made in an instant. There was no way he dared fight Shen Pojun any longer!
He ran away once before at the battle for the Fate School and a second time in Dragon’s Ascent Mountains. How was Bai Yunfei going to let him run away for a third time?!
“Trying to run? Forget about it!!”
Bai Yunfei roared immediately in response. Raising his arm, Bai Yunfei pointed a finger and cried out a single command!
“Freeze!!”
“Whoosh!!’
The Soul Anchor Technique activated at once before the Cataclysmic Seal was sent out. Transforming into the size of a mountain, it flew overhead Shangguan Xiongyan before coming down to squish him!
“Ahhh!!!”
Even frozen, the Shangguan Xiongyan was able to move his eyes up at the Cataclysmic Seal. By then, the soul armament was already many times larger than he liked. Roaring loudly, he activated the Triumphant Flame’s barrier in hopes he could endure the blow.
“Boom!!”
The Cataclysmic Seal slammed into the barrier with devastating force. So much force that the barrier shuddered and looked as though it was going to collapse.
Still alive, Shangguan Xiongyan immediately threw himself away to run. While he ran, a portion of his soulforce fed itself into the Triumphant Flame. Though he managed to survive that blow, Shangguan Xiongyan wasn’t the least bit happy. He was far too busy trying to escape, but his vision was already starting to get blurry. Then the next thing he knew the Cataclysmic Seal disappeared and the Fire-tipped Spear appeared in its place to strike him!
“Damn!!”
Shangguan Xiongyan snarled as he was forced to dodge to the side. The Fire-tipped Spear altered its course to fly around to target him again. This time, instead of dodging, he pushed both hands out to create an elemental barrier. The spear shouldn’t be able to break through his defenses, he believed.
But then came a sight that completely scared the spirits out of Shangguan Xiongyan!
Somehow, the red spear managed to draw close to his barrier before…slipping through it as though the barrier didn’t even exist!
The +13 additional effect of the Fire-tipped Spear!
+13 Additional Effect: Expend 40% of the user’s soulforce to ignore any one elemental-based defense upon the next strike.
Cooldown of 10 minutes.
Not even a barrier made from the Triumphant Flame was immune to the absolutely godly powers of the Fire-tipped Spear!
“Ahhh!!!”
Fearing for his life, Shangguan Xiongyan managed to throw himself back just enough so that the Fire-tipped Spear managed to pierce his torso instead of his head!
“Clang!!!”
The scraping sound of metal against metal could be heard as sparks danced into the sky. Shangguan Xiongyan only noticed the sparks flying before he felt himself be thrown backward.
The spear had failed to penetrate his defenses and stab into him. While strong enough to pierce through the elemental defense, it wasn’t strong enough to beat the Triumphant Flame!
“Tch!!”
Bai Yunfei clicked his tongue at the sight of Shangguan Xiongyan alive. He had been counting on the Luck Pendant’s ability to manually activate a special effect to finish the battle. At least forty percent of his energy was spent on the +13 additional effect’s activation and left Bai Yunfei feeling confident that his opponent wouldn’t be able to endure it.
It did however managed to destabilize Shangguan Xiongyan’s thought process and be trapped in by Xiao Qi and Shen Pojun.
Bai Yunfei even made sure to bring out his avatar so that ‘four’ Saints were boxing Shangguan Xiongyan in from four different angles!!
……
The following battle didn’t even have to be explained. It didn’t take long for Shangguan Xiongyan to cry out his last before his voice and body began to die…
As powerful as the Triumphant Flame was, having four different Saints attack was something Shangguan Xiongyan couldn’t handle. He had no means to escape nor any means to defeat the four. In the end, he ran out of soulforce and was no longer able to keep the Triumphant Flame fed. As a result, Bai Yunfei and the others managed to attack him with a soul attack to prevent him from self-destructing and then used Xiao Qi to crush his head.
And thus, the latest person that attempted to scheme against Bai Yunfei was now dead. Three Saints came here for Bai Yunfei’s life and died instead!
