Chapter 236: Chapter 213: Soul-locking Bell

"Boom."

It was as if something had fallen from the wall—

Liu Yi’s scalp tingled, and a powerful instinct drove her to retreat.

The next moment, the spot where she had been standing shattered!

Dust and debris flew everywhere.

Crow, dressed in a suit, stood in the crater, his face expressionless, his eyes flashing with sharp, cold light as he stared at the woman not far away... In Huazhi Building, they were "colleagues" who worked together and had carried out missions together. They were well aware of each other’s strengths.

Liu Yi knew all too well how terrifying Song Ci could be in combat—this guy was a natural-born fighting prodigy, his entire body a weapon. His Extraordinary Cultivation over the years had been as if he was on a cheat mode, advancing at an incredible pace.

If it came to a fight to the death... there were few in Da Du who could match Song Ci.

This was why she had to use the "Spiritual Eyes" in conjunction with the "Soul-locking Bell"; she had no chance in a direct confrontation.

"You... knew I was coming?"

Liu Yi calmed herself down.

Her group had concealed their tracks, yet they had still been exposed.

"Mhm."

Song Ci spoke indifferently, "Even though it’s night, the commotion you all caused... was quite conspicuous."

A drop of cold sweat slid down Liu Yi’s forehead.

She knew that Song Ci’s intuition was extremely sharp, but she had never imagined it to be this keen. The "Spiritual Eyes" were considered a top-tier concealment ability, capable of hiding from most Spiritual Sense within the same realm... How did this guy detect her?

It was as if he had Mind Reading Technique.

Song Ci stretched out two fingers and pointed at his own eyes, saying, "It’s simple. I just need to look."

He emphasized the word "look."

Liu Yi felt... as if she had seen a ghost.

If others can’t "see", how can you?!

"Talking too much is pointless." She took a deep breath and said, "Since you’ve come... it saves me the trouble."

She lifted her hands, and an invisible ripple of spiritual power fluctuated in the void.

Song Ci frowned slightly and immediately retreated.

Attacks from the Spiritual class were the most unpredictable and tricky to deal with... He could dodge high-speed bullets, but not necessarily the psychic assaults of the Spiritual class.

The small bell in Liu Yi’s hand, covered in talismans, gave him an unsettling sense of danger.

This time... he had to dodge!

Crow’s figure instantly scattered, as if in a split second he had split into dozens of copies, whirling rapidly around Liu Yi. The entire alley was filled with fluttering suit illusions, while the woman holding the bell didn’t show any sign of panic. As the talismans detached one by one and floated around the ancient bell, a bright light rekindled at her brow.

The "Spiritual Eyes" opened once more!

A scorching beam of light shot out from the pupil at the center of her brow, as if a virtual Spiritual Body was rising above Liu Yi’s head, slowly turning into a human shape and beginning to turn its head.

Wherever the gaze landed,

the swirling illusions shattered!

No matter how fast Song Ci was, as long as he harbored the intent to attack, he couldn’t escape the tracking of the "Spiritual Eyes"... The space in the alley wasn’t large. Liu Yi looked pale, the Spiritual Body floating above her turning quickly, trying to capture the true form of Crow.

A muffled grunt came from afar.

A piece of a shredded sleeve slowly drifted down in the distance.

It was a sleeve ripped apart by the tremendous spiritual power at the moment it brushed past the "Spiritual Eyes". Obviously, Song Ci had no intention of retreating... He was attempting to break through by moving at high speed.

The battle wasn’t complex.

Whoever touched the other first would win!

Liu Yi held the bell with both hands, the ancient and compact sealing artifact now released all its talismans, showing its true face. A few interconnected talismans formed a protective river around the bell, rotating swiftly. The invisible characters vibrated, and a captivating fluctuation spread from the bell. Even hearing just an echo made one’s heart tremble with fear.

Her bodysuit was now completely drenched in sweat from her back.

The overwhelming pressure was drawing closer and closer.

In front and behind her, bricks crumbled, walls burst open, the ground shattered, and the "Spiritual Eyes" spun wildly, always just a bit too slow... Crow was getting closer and closer, ever closer!

"Boom!" A roar echoed again.

It was the sound of a howling wind.

Liu Yi could feel a strong gust of wind pressing toward her, and she roared as she raised the Soul-locking Bell, aiming at a certain direction. The bell seemed light as a feather, but at that moment, it drained all her strength as if she were lifting a colossal mountain.

The Spiritual Body also halted the movement of its head at that instant!

The final gaze fixed on a man in a suit throwing a punch at her.

The punch, slightly off its intended mark, did not hit Liu Yi’s head directly, but veered at a slight angle.

Gales of wind swept through, collapsing the entire wall directed by the punch...

An astonishing scene.

But... it ultimately missed.

Liu Yi felt her heart almost leap to her throat... She looked towards Song Ci in shock as he abruptly moved within a meter of her.

In a battle of this level, there were no missteps.

The only possibility was... that Song Ci’s punch had been deliberately off-target.

What would have happened if that punch had landed on her face?

She glanced back with a pale face.

Because she saw that collapsing, shattered wall.
