Upgrade Specialist in Another World

If the mind is in disarray, then fight again another day.

Given the change in power, victory was no longer an option for one side of the battlefield.

“Retreat!!!”

An order was given to everyone from the Wind Lightning and the Soul Refining Schools. It was the soul refiner. He was stronger than any of the individuals here, but he no longer had the confidence of winning!

The loss of Yue Kuangfeng was far too great of a blow. If he continued to fight then the soul refiner would soon join Yue Kuangfeng in death!

Black light exploded out from his body to fill the air with elemental darkness. A giant demon appeared above his head to give a heart-pounding roar. It charged toward Bai Yunfei, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Binzi in an attempt to attack and stall for time.

As the demon rushed forward, the soul refiner retreated. Now that two seconds had passed his body was back to its normal mobility.

“You won’t get away that easily!!”

Bai Yunfei barked out loud, instilling yet another wave of fear into everyone. Multiple beams of white light shot forth toward the soul refiner along with blades of wind, fireballs, bolts of lightning, and spatial tears from Xiao Qi!

“Ahh!!! Run away!!”

“Watch out!!”

The attacks from Xiao Qi crashed against the ground and sowed confusion and destruction among the enemies.

If their sole surviving Soul Emperor was cowed, what point was there to have the Soul Kings fight?! Their motivation to fight was gone the moment they saw their Soul Emperor start to flee.

“Boom boom boom boom…”

Craters littered the battlefield as Xiao Qi went to work. His attacks were making it hard for the Soul Kings to escape, and several of them were unable to dodge forever. Some Soul Kings had already fallen prey to the spatial tears and died.

“Damn! Retreat! Retreattt!!!”

A Mid-stage Soul Emperor from the Wind Lightning School cried out as he dodged an attack from Xu Yuanying while parrying another attack with a soul armament.

He knew that it was too late. To stay here would mean certain death.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…”

The soul refiner was moving fast, but Bai Yunfei was even faster. Dodging the Heaven’s Thunder, Voidsplitter, and many of Bai Yunfei’s soul armaments, the soul refiner was wholeheartedly trying to make his escape. He didn’t even care if the Soul Kings from his school were being attacked, all that mattered to him was his own escape!

Bai Yunfei, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Binzi were all using attacks infused with a Law to bombard the battlefield. Snarling, the soul refiner tried his best to use the Law of Darkness to protect himself. He looked down at the two Soul Emperors from the Wind Lightning School. He looked hesitant about something.

“Rumble…”

The world trembled with energy as three transparent attacks flew at him!

Soul attacks!

“Hngh!”

The soul attacks slammed into him, causing the soul refiner to let out a grunt of pain as his body began to shiver. The attack was a lot more powerful than he expected! What he didn’t know was that Bai Yunfei’s soul attack was nearly doubled due to the Soul Sealing Mandate, and combined with the might of Xiao Qi and Xiao Binzi, their soul attacks could definitely harm a Mid-stage Soul Emperor!

Being hit by the soul attacks was the last straw for the soul refiner. Working together his determination, the soul refiner threw a black pearl out in front of him!

“No!!”

Realizing what the Soul Emperor was trying to do, Bai Yunfei immediately threw out the Soul Sealing Mandate toward him! In a burst of speed, Xiao Qi flew even faster toward him while Xiao Binzi threw an orange pearl at him.

“Bang…”

But it was a little too late. The black pearl shattered into millions of piece and transformed into a fog of black light!

One moment later and the Soul Emperor was gone into the light!

All the attacks sent by Bai Yunfei and the other two missed him—the Soul Emperor was gone!

That pearl had been a teleportation-type soul armament!

The same kind of soul armament that teleported Bai Yunfei to the Ninth Heaven! He had a second one!

Teleportation via normal means required the spatial energy to be calm. The erratic influx of elemental energy normally present in a battle of some kind meant teleportation would be impossible in those cases. Even the Core Stone was hindered to some degree under those conditions. But soul armaments specifically meant for teleportation like the black pearl hadn’t that same limiter. With a teleportation-type soul armament like that, the soul refiner could escape without difficulty!

And these type of soul armaments could help a person teleport extreme distances, such as the one that brought Bai Yunfei to the Ninth Heaven. The one the soul refiner used already teleported him far beyond what Bai Yunfei was able to detect with the Core Stone.

In one moment of opportunity, the soul refiner was able to make his getaway!

Bai Yunfei snarled. It left a sour taste in his mouth to see one of his hated enemies get away…

“Bastard!!”

The Early-stage Soul Emperor from the Wind Lightning School let out a furious howl—his ally had abandoned them!

He knew as well as the others that they were defeated. He just hoped that both their groups could work together to run away! But now that their Mid-stage Soul Emperor left, there were only two Soul Emperors left to deal with five enemy Soul Emperors!

This was basically the same as a betrayal!

Could he be blamed for being shocked or angry?

Not even the Soul Kings from the Soul Refining School could hold back their anger. Some of them began to despair and give up even.

……

Bai Yunfei paused for a moment. If one enemy was gone, then…it was time to deal with the last two Soul Emperors from the Wind Lightning School!

He glanced over to Xiao Binzi who gave him a nod in response. Bai Yunfei shot toward the Mid-stage Soul Emperor Xu Yuanying was fighting with while Xiao Qi trailed closely behind. Xiao Binzi traveled in a different direction to fly toward the Early-stage Soul Emperor that was fighting Murong Xiao.

“Kill them!!”

Someone from the Water School shouted. Inspired by their recent brush with luck, everyone began to assault the Wind Lightning School. It was their chance now to win! It was their chance to defeat their enemies and ensure they would never dare to pull a second attempt of attacking their school!

The battle began to progress in an uneventful manner. There were no sudden changes that threatened to change the situation on the battlefield. Everyone from the Wind Lightning School had already given up trying to fight and were trying to run away.

Things weren’t looking good at all for the pillar of their fighting force. With Xiao Binzi and Murong Xiao fighting together, the Early-stage Soul Emperor they fought against was in dire straits. There was no way he was able to keep an eye out on the Soul Kings beneath them.

As for the other Soul Emperor, Xu Yuanying, Bai Yunfei, and Xiao Qi were making life extremely difficult for him. The Soul Emperor had been screaming in anger after the realization that escape was no longer possible for him.

The rumbles from the battlefield continued without pause. Gradually, the battle began to move farther and farther away from the Water School. Forced to group closer to one another, the ones from the Wind Lightning School and Soul Refining School tried their best to break free from the encirclement. Unfortunately for them, the outcome was looking more and more grim for them…

“Ahh!!!”

The defensive network of the Wind Lightning School members finally broke down after a while when one of them was struck down by a Soul King from the Crafting School. It was the first death!

“Ah! Ah! Ahhh!!”

Pandemonium was instantaneous. The death of one Soul King led to the others beginning to panic and be struck down in return!

“Damn! Damnn!! You’ll all die!!”

The Early-stage Soul Emperor from the Wind Lightning School roared. He looked especially haggard with his robes tattered and bloody. His eyes were bloodshot with fatigue and anger. Distraught by the death of his Soul Kings, the man began to howl louder and louder until the soulforce around him began to spike intensely!

He was planning to self-destruct!!
