Chapter 254.3. Invading a Territory?


    They were both veteran soul masters, and they channeled their soul power subconsciously at the same time.


    Something strange happened next. Two silver streaks of light burst out from their left legs, and then intertwined together as they enveloped their bodies. They both disappeared at the same time for an instant, and their bodies instantly switched positions in the next moment.


    This Huo Yuhao stared at Wang Qiuer with an astonished look on his face.


    Wang Qiuer said decisively, Lets try again further away. She raced out as she spoke, and ran about a hundred meters away as she gestured toward Huo Yuhao.


    Huo Yuhao released his soul power and activated his left leg bone as he attempted to establish a connection with Wang Qiuer on the other side. However, he realized that he couldnt feel anything at all, and nothing changed.


    Wang Qiuer came ten meters closer, and Huo Yuhao continued to try. Nothing was different from before.


    Wang Qiuer wasnt hasty either, and she slowly shifted forward bit by bit.


    Finally, when she was about fifty meters away from him, silver light exploded from their bodies at the same time, and Wang Qiuer immediately appeared before Huo Yuhao. This wasnt the Instant Shift carried by their left leg bones anymore, as Instant Shift only had a range of ten meters. This ma-like force between them increased its range by by five hundred percent, and this was achieved with just Huo Yuhao pulling Wang Qiuer to his side. This effect was simr to Xu Sanshis Mysterious Netherworld Discement after his Shield of the Xuanming Turtle evolved into the Xuanwu Shield, except Xu Sanshis Mysterious Netherworld Discement could target opponents weaker than he was. Huo Yuhao could only use this with Wang Qiuer.


    They exchanged a look, and they thought about the countless possibilities. They already had a martial soul fusion skill, and this special effect carried by their left leg bones was a cherry on the cake for them. In addition to their new Instant Shift ability both of them felt as if they had struck a jackpot.


    Wang Qiuer said, This ability probably originates from the three Wolf-Apes triple martial soul fusion skill. Even though that triple martial soul fusion cannot be passed down through their soul bones, this ability is still quite impressive. I dont want thest soul bone, but you cant give it to the wrong person. This is very important for the both of us.


    Huo Yuhao didnt conceal his intentions. If you dont mind, I want to give it to Donger.


    Wang Qiuer shot him a re and grunted as she said, Whatever. I dont want it. Just make sure she doesnt cause me any trouble.


    A sorrowful look shed across Huo Yuhaos face. Cause you any trouble? Donger has to live for that to happen.


    Lets go. Were going to the Setting Sun Forest. It was nearly noon at this point.


    The sun was high in the sky, and it radiated scorching warmth.


    Lets go, then. Wang Qiuer agreed. Huo Yuhao heaved a sigh of relief when she began to cooperate, and they activated their flying-type soul tools before they soared into the sky once more.


    Huo Yuhao wasnt acting hastily anymore, and he flew together with Wang Qiuer as they followed the maps markings and traveled towards the Setting Sun Forest.


    They hadnt flown for long, however, before Huo Yuhao suddenly felt something and gazed into the horizon, while he slowed down at the same time.


    Whats wrong? Wang Qiuer asked confusedly.


    Someonesing here. Huo Yuhao answered.


    Wang Qiuer followed his gaze. Indeed, there was a group of people flying towards them in the distance from where Heaven Dou City was located.


    They were in a fan-like formation, and their formation gradually changed in the sky and formed a semicircle that wrapped toward the two of them.


    Enemies? Wang Qiuer asked confusedly.


    Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, Perhaps not. They should be from the Heavenly Soul Empire. This is my fault for being so careless. Were very close to Heaven Dou City, and we are just flying through the air without attempting to conceal our movements. I think we have attracted the sentries attention.


    Wang Qiuers mouth twitched, and she said, Were just flying in the sky. What does that have to do with them?


    Huo Yuhao was a little speechless. Ever since weve had flying-type soul tools, every nationsws and control has be a lot stricter than before, and this is especially so for the airspace above or around cities. Heaven Dou City is the Heavenly Soul Empires capital city. Think about it, if someone flew over the royal pce and tossed down a powerful stationary soul cannon shell, what would happen?


    Wang Qiuer said, Is that actually preventable? If we fly high enough, to a height where they cant see us anymore before we toss the bomb, they cant do anything about it.


    This was the first time a smile had appeared on Huo Yuhaos face ever since they left Shrek Academy. This proves how little you know about soul tools! Its not as easy as you make it seem. Lets not talk about how difficult it is to be precise when were too high in the sky. With current soul tool technology, flying-type soul tools have a limit to how high they can fly, rarely can one fly higher than one kilometer above the ground at this point. Any telescopic soul tool on the ground thats watching the skies will be able to discover someone flying around, and night-vision telescopic soul tools can monitor the airspace at night.


    The group had surrounded them while they talked. There were ten soul engineers, and everyone wore standardized flying-type soul tools. They werent flying very fast, so it wouldnt be impossible if Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiuer wanted to shake them off. He wanted to get to the Setting Sun Forest as fast as possible, but he also didnt want to bring unnecessary trouble upon himself. If they were suspected to be spying upon Heaven Dou City, and thus attracted the attention of powerful individuals in the Heavenly Soul Empire, then there would be real trouble for him. The Heavenly Soul Empires national strength couldntpare to the Star Luo Empire, but they were still a nation with a long history, and solid foundations.


    The soul engineers didnt attack as they came up, they just surrounded the two of them. Huo Yuhao didnt unleash any offensive soul tools, and he raised both hands to show that he meant no ill.


    These soul engineers from the Heavenly Soul Empire were all wearing leather armor, which was clearly intended to lessen the weight they had to carry. The person leading the group was a girl with a cold look on her face, appearing both elegant and noble. The flying-type soul tool behind her released pale blue light.


    Who are you? How dare you fly around inside our capital citys airspace? Youre looking down on my country. Follow me. Her cold voice felt extremely charming and nice to hear, but the contents were a little unpleasant.


    Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback as he stared at the young girl before him confusedly. You are you Mu Xue?


    The ice-cold young girl was also momentarily stunned. She stared at Huo Yuhao with the same doubtful look and asked, How do you know my name?


    Huo Yuhao heaved a sigh of relief once she confirmed his spection. Have you forgotten, Mu Xue? Weve met before inside the Great Star Dou Forest. Back then, Uncle Mo was the one leading the group, and you guys were inside the Great Star Dou Forest to hunt soul beasts. My name is Huo Yuhao.


    Mu Xue scrutinized Huo Yuhao for a moment longer. A look of revtion came over her face as she said, Oh, yes, I remember now. Youre that student from the Star Luo National Academy, Huo Yuhao, am I right?


    Yes! Thats me. Huo Yuhao hurriedly nodded his head. Back then, he, Wang Donger and Xiao Xiao, had entered the Great Star Dou Forest under Elder Xuans protection when they met Mo Feiyun and hispany. This girl, Mu Xue, had also been part of thepany, along with another pretty girl named Wei Na. The two of them had left a fairly strong impression in Huo Yuhaos mind.


    Mu Xues face suddenly turned cold. Thats enough. Stop trying to worm your way through into being friends with me. Follow me.


    Huo Yuhao was shocked. Follow you? For what?


    Mu Xues voice was ice-cold. You have trespassed into my capital citys airspace. You know that, so why do you still ask me that question? Even though weve met before, todays situation is very different, and our private rtionship cannot interfere with my duty. Lets go. She came up with the other soul engineers as she spoke.


    She turned towards Wang Qiuer as they moved up.


    It wasnt just her; all the other soul engineers were also focused on Wang Qiuer. This wasnt because they had realized how powerful Wang Qiuer was, it was because Wang Qiuer was simply too beautiful.


    Wang Qiuer looked more like the Goddess of Light than Wang Donger did. There wasnt any cover in the sky at this moment, and sunlight shone upon her body and made her flowing blue hair shine with pale golden light. Her enchanting beauty was nearly suffocating.


    Mu Xue had always been confident about her looks, and this was especially so because her martial souls unique quality was different from normal people. However, she felt a little inferior before Wang Qiuer. She paled inparison in terms of looks and aura, and even in terms of her figure.


    Huo Yuhao frowned as he lowered his voice and said, Im sorry, Mu Xue. Im in a hurry, and todays matter is just a misunderstanding. I have somewhere I need to be, and I identally trespassed in the Heaven Dou Citys airspace. I am sincerely sorry that this happened, but time is of the essence. I cant dy any longer.


    Mu Xue also lowered her voice. You dont get to make that decision. Are you resisting arrest? You have to know that we have the authority to shoot you down since youve trespassed over our airspace. Ill bring you back to the city because we have been acquainted, and well investigate to make sure that theres nothing wrong with the two of you, and then well let you go. Dont worry, well be just and follow official procedures.


    Huo Yuhao was a little exasperated as he shook his head. Im sorry, I really dont have the time.


    Mu Xues face turned ck as she shouted angrily, Take them down! The nine other soul engineers immediately began to move upon hearing her orders, and each of them took out a soul tool from behind their backs.


    These soul tools were about half a meter long, and there was a thick cannon barrel at the front with an opening that was roughly thirty centimeters in diameter. Nine cannon barrels were trained on Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiuer at the same time.


    As a ss 6 soul engineer, Huo Yuhao couldnt be more familiar with this soul tool. These were soul paralysis rays, and they were enhanced versions. Even five-ringed or six-ringed soul masters would be immediately paralyzed and immobilized if these rays hit them. Of course, that meant these paralysis rays had to hit them first!
