Chapter 5403“Impossible! How can your spiritual power be so strong?”he roared in disbelief.“Because you’re too weak!”Han Lie attacked again after landing, swinging his Red Flame Blade faster and faster. Shadows clung to the blade, each strike carrying the scorching power of the Burning Heaven Flame, forcing the black-robed youth back repeatedly.“Red Flame Blade Technique Second Form—Burning Heaven Slash!”Han Lie roared, the blade suddenly expanding to several feet in length. With devastating force, it slashed towards the black-robed youth.The black-robed youth’s pupils constricted, knowing he couldn’t resist. He used all his might to block the two black blades.“Crack!”The black blade was instantly severed, and flames engulfed his body. The black-robed youth let out a shrill scream, his body struggling in the flames, and was soon incinerated into a ball of black ash.noveldrama“Brilliant!”Deafening cheers erupted from the mountainside, and the cultivators brandished their weapons, their faces beaming with excitement.“Han Lie is incredible! He reduced that demon cultivator to ash with a single strike!”“I’ve always said the top three on the Martial Rankings weren’t in vain. These demon cultivators are no match for me!”“Keep fighting! Take care of the remaining demon cultivators!”Wu Hao couldn’t help but clap his hands and laugh. “Well done, Han Lie! You truly deserve to be number three on the Martial Rankings!”Zi Yuan gazed at Han Lie in the center of the battlefield, her eyes lit up with admiration. She had just fought Mu Baiyi for over a hundred rounds before narrowly winning, yet Han Lie had dispatched the even stronger black-robed youth so swiftly and efficiently. His strength was truly unfathomable.However, even as the cultivators rejoiced, a cold laugh echoed from the demon cultivator camp.The Soul Devourer sat on the lion’s head, his hollow eye sockets scanning Han Lie. His tone was filled with undisguised sarcasm, “Interesting, but your abilities aren’t impressive enough.”He slowly turned to look at the demon soul team behind him and said calmly, “Your turn.” As he finished speaking, a figure slowly emerged from the demon soul team.Dressed in a dark robe, his face was handsome, yet pale. A faint soul mist lingered around him—clearly not a physical form, but a spirit.He slowly walked toward the battlefield, each step leaving no trace on the ground. He was clearly a formidable figure among the hundred thousand demon souls. “Soul?” Han Lie frowned, a flicker of doubt in his eyes.Souls lacked a physical body, making them difficult to damage with ordinary attacks. Furthermore, to maintain such a solid state in spirit form, their strength must be considerable. The cultivators halfway up the mountain also fell silent, their smiles gradually fading.“It’s a soul-body demon cultivator! This is trouble! Soul-bodies are the most difficult to deal with!” “Han Lie’s Red Flame Blade is powerful, but its flames primarily burn physical bodies, so the damage to soul-bodies is likely limited.” “What should we do now? Are we going to lose?”The black-robed young man walked to the center of the battlefield, bowed slightly to Han Lie, and spoke calmly, “I’m Zhao Mu, one of the Hundred Thousand Demon Souls. Your swordsmanship is exquisite, and I admire you.”His voice was clear and cold, like the clashing of jade, a stark contrast to the hoarse voices of other demon cultivators. Han Lie dropped his smile, his expression solemn, “I’m Han Lie. Stop the nonsense and attack!”He knew the difficulty of soul-bodies and dared not be careless. He channeled his spiritual energy to its fullest, and the flames on the Red Flame Blade burned even more vigorously. Zhao Mu nodded, his figure suddenly flashing, transforming into a shadow, and instantly appeared behind Han Lie.Startled, Han Lie quickly turned and swung his sword, but missed—Zhao Mu’s figure had already vanished. “What a fast speed!” Han Lie was secretly shocked, and glanced around cautiously.Souls are free from the constraints of a physical body, so their speed is much faster than that of ordinary cultivators. Zhao Mu’s speed is even more ridiculous, almost reaching the level of teleportation.
