Upgrade Specialist in Another World

Chapter 1179: Stunning Everyone

“Boom!!!”

The loud explosion that erupted high above the land gripped the hearts of all the people there. Several began to tremble and collapse all over the battlefield, stunned and weakened by the spectacle above.

Everyone could feel the awe-inspiring amount of energy in it. They truly felt afraid of its power. Had they been closer to the explosion, they would’ve been turned into a corpse in seconds.

Not even Murong Xiao could believe his eyes. In fact, he looked like he was in a daze about something.

“Phew...”

A figure appeared from beyond the sea of flames. They were cloaked in a green light and was flying far away to the ground. He wasn’t dead, but he was very close to it.

Yue Kuangfeng!

Yue Kuangfeng was critically injured at the moment!

“Chirp!!!”

The trill of a bird suddenly echoed throughout the world. Turning his head, Yue Kuangfeng watched as another portion of the world have its colors mix up before revealing two more figures. The moment they appeared, a prismatic ray of light flew off toward Yue Kuangfeng!

Xiao Qi!!

He was cloaked in four different colors and energy. Imposing in his form as a large bird, Xiao Qi appeared onto the battlefield and sent a large spatial tear at Yue Kuangfeng with a swing of his wing!

“No!!”

Still smoking from being engulfed by the dragons, Yue Kuangfeng let out a wail of despair as the spatial tears approached. Pushing the last of his soulforce throughout his body, Yue Kuangfeng made a last-ditch effort to dodge the attack.

“Freeze!!”

Then as if a god was giving an edict, the heavens echoed with the authoritative voice of a person!

“Whoosh...”

It was faint, but several people noticed the sound of flesh being torn apart!

They saw the pitch-dark spatial rifts go through Yue Kuangfeng’s body and...cut apart his body from his shoulder to the other side of his waist!

The spatial tear traveled upward, allowing Yue Kuangfeng’s body to rain blood down from its corpse. His body continued to fall from the skies, allowing everyone to catch a good glimpse at both parts of his corpse...

The Mid-stage Soul Emperor was...dead!! Struck dead in an instant!

Horrified shock ran across the bodies of everyone there—including fighters within the Interdimensional Phantasm!

“But how?!”

The soul refiner shrieked. His face, colorless now, could hardly stop itself from acting on its fear. Was this a nightmare?!

It was bad enough that Xiao Qi and Xiao Binzi were a lot stronger than he gave them credit for. Fighting in the Phantasm was already difficult enough. The entire time, the soul refiner was waiting for when Yue Kuangfeng killed Bai Yunfei and cause Xiao Qi to be severely weakened. He could’ve launched a counteroffensive then and theoretically win without much fuss nor trouble!

But nothing was going his way. He saw Xiao Qi react strangely to something before the world around him returned to normal again. Then just as he was readjusting to the situation, he noticed something falling from the skies...

He saw Yue Kuangfeng, haggard and battered like a street dog, tumble from the skies before Xiao Qi killed him!

That was the moment when he felt like his soul would fly out from his mouth!

He and Yue Kuangfeng were of the same level of strength. He thought Bai Yunfei would’ve been easily killed by Yue Kuangfeng, but it turned out that it was the other way around! Yue Kuangfeng wasn’t even killed by Bai Yunfei, but by his soulbeast partner! This...this was hard to stomach!

The biggest shocker was when he saw Bai Yunfei emerge from up above—he was completely untouched! The terrifying amount of energy radiating from his person indicated that he was still at a hundred percent battle capacity! How?!

“Whoosh!!”

A bolt of orange light suddenly dropped down on him while he was confused!

It was Xiao Binzi! Capitulating on his enemy’s distraction, the crafter decided to go in for the kill with his lifebound armament!

Even as fast as he was, there was no way the soul refiner would be able to move out of the way in time. The only thing he could do was hope for his own armor, a high-heaven tier soul armament, to protect him.

“Pcht...”

He hoped that his armor would hold, but the sound of it cracking under pressure immediately caused him to blanch in terror!

Pain shot through his body the next second. Xiao Binzi’s soul armament had managed to tear through his armor and spear through his body!

“Ugh!”

Grimacing from the pain, the soul refiner prepared himself to move back to dodge any follow-up attack Xiao Binzi might have in store, but...

A strange energy began to disseminate from the recent injury he received. Suddenly, he felt like something within his body was no longer functioning. He felt paralyzed from the waist down and unable to move as well as he’d like.

An orange light flashed from where he was injured. It started to spread throughout his body and gradually turn it to stone!

A perforation through the stomach was negligible to a Soul Emperor, but this was not a regular injury. This was the result of Xiao Binzi’s lifebound armament activating it’s +10 additional effect, the ability to petrify!

Upon contact, the enemy would have their mobility significantly reduced and turned to stone for two seconds!

Total petrification wouldn’t be possible if a Mid-stage Soul Emperor was hit with it, but the mobility would still be significantly dropped!

The soul refiner was initially stunned by the strange sensation crawling across his body, but he was pleased to find out that he could ward off the effects if he concentrated his soulforce to the area. As he did, the soul refiner took out a metallic shield to protect his front.

Xiao Binzi planned to attack again once he saw his attack work, but he thought against it after seeing his enemy take out a shield. There wasn’t a good enough probability of him landing a killing blow in this case, so it was better to reconvene with Bai Yunfei and Xiao Qi.

But the important thing was that their side had the advantage now. There was no need to rush things.

“Bzz...”

Everyone felt the world around them hum ominously. Elemental fire was spreading across the battlefield along with some kind of strange energy.

For some reason, those from the Water and Crafting Schools felt their power increase while the Wind Lightning School and Soul Refining School were stunned to sense their own powers be suppressed!

This was the +12 additional effect of the Core Stone and the Soul Sealing Mandate!

“Kill them!!”

Bai Yunfei finally appeared within eyesight of everyone on the battlefield. His voice boomed across the battlefield with a commanding aura. In accordance to his command, Xiao Qi began to rain down a meteor storm onto the enemies below!

The battle rose to a new fervor with Bai Yunfei’s command. All across the battlefield, those from the Water and Crafting Schools began to fight with vigor!

Yue Kuangfeng’s death was all they needed to see for everyone else to be either inspired or cowed. In just a matter of seconds, the entire battlefield was flowing in a completely different way than before!

This wasn’t just the effect of Bai Yunfei’s soul armaments. This was also a result of inspiration!

One half of the battlefield was either filled with inspiration or completely cowed with fear!

And that was the reason behind Bai Yunfei and Xiao Qi killing Yue Kuangfeng in public!
