If his soul was injured again, his life might be in danger, but if he burned his essence and just held on until his companions arrived, his hope of survival would be greater. It was for this reason that he chose to burn his essence without hesitation, even if it cost a little more, at least he could save his life.
If he was facing other practitioners, there would be no problem for a second-level Martial Emperor to do this, but unfortunately he met Yang Qi.
Without any hesitation, Yang Qi directly mobilized the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix. The next moment, an extremely powerful blood aura burst out from Yang Qi's body.
"This is… "
Feeling the heart-pounding blood aura of Yang Qi, the pupils of the second-level peak Martial Emperor practitioner couldn't help but shrink suddenly, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
As a cultivator at the peak level of Martial Emperor, he could naturally feel how powerful Yang Qi's bloodline power was.
“Run, run!”
The cultivator at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor had only one thought in his mind at this moment. As Yang Qi used the power of his bloodline, he already knew clearly the gap between himself and Yang Qi.
Even if he burned his origin, he was not sure that he could hold on until his companions arrived. The only chance of survival was to rush and meet up with his companions as soon as possible.
Whoosh~
Without any hesitation, the cultivator at the second level of the peak Martial Emperor realm moved and rushed towards his companions.
Unfortunately, although his movements were not slow, Yang Qi's movements were faster. A stream of light blocked his way directly, and the Black Phoenix Sword, which had been ready for a long time, slashed towards him with the power to destroy the world.
"Stop it for me, Emperor!"
Facing the incoming attack, the second-level cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level immediately swung the Pseudo-Source Divine Weapon in his hand with all his strength to resist the incoming attack.
Boom!
The sharp sword light slashed down, instantly engulfing the figure of the second-level Martial Emperor cultivator. However, the next moment, his figure flew out from the residual power and fled in another direction.
Unfortunately, just as he was about to use it, a figure appeared in front of him and he was greeted with a fierce attack.
“You can’t escape!”
Feeling the incoming attack, the face of the second-level peak Martial Emperor practitioner showed a hint of despair. He wanted to break through Yang Qi's blockade and rush to meet his companions, but found that it was impossible.
Once he was dragged here, he had no chance of surviving until his companions arrived!
While resisting Yang Qi's attack, the cultivator at the second level of the peak Martial Emperor was looking for an opportunity to break through the blockade. Unfortunately, in front of Yang Qi, he had no chance at all.
As the two sides continued to fight, the vitality of the second-level peak Martial Emperor practitioner began to rapidly dissipate.
Whoosh~
At this moment, Yang Qi used the Soul-Devouring Cone again. In an instant, a sharp cone shadow attacked the cultivator at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor.
"Stop it for me, Emperor!"
Faced with the attacking cone shadow, the cultivator at the second level of the peak Martial Emperor was terrified and hurriedly mobilized his own soul power to defend himself with all his might.
When the cone shadow fell, a sharp pain and piercing sensation came from deep within the soul. The cultivator at the second level of the Martial Emperor Peak could clearly feel that his soul was injured again. Although the extent of the soul injury was not as great as the first time he was attacked by the Soul Devouring Cone, the two consecutive soul injuries had already caused the soul of the cultivator at the second level of the Martial Emperor Peak to suffer serious damage.
With his soul injured, the second-level Martial Emperor cultivator could clearly feel that he was being suppressed even more severely by the means of the virtual world. The strength and means he could exert, even when burning his origin, were not as good as his peak period in normal state.
"It's over!"
At this moment, he already knew that he was finished. If his two companions could not arrive as soon as possible, he would definitely die.
In the following battle, he didn't dare to confront Yang Qi head-on. He could only fight with all his strength to reduce his own consumption and try to hold on for a little longer until his two companions arrived.
As time passed, the vitality and origin of the second-level Martial Emperor cultivator were rapidly consumed. In just a moment, there was little of his vitality and origin left.
The footsteps of death seemed to be approaching step by step, causing the second-level Martial Emperor cultivator to be terrified, but he did not dare to give up any chance to delay time.
However, at this moment, Yang Qi on the opposite side suddenly launched a fierce attack. The second-level Martial Emperor cultivator had consumed a lot of energy, and his strength and means were suppressed. The speed at which the vitality and origin in his body were lost was further accelerated.
Um
Suddenly, two familiar auras appeared within the perception range of the second-level Martial Emperor cultivator. A hint of hope for life immediately appeared on his face, which was already somewhat desperate.
Those two familiar auras were exactly his companions. With the arrival of two practitioners at the third level of the peak of Martial Emperor, it would definitely not be difficult for them to stop Yang Qi and save their own lives.
At this moment, he also understood why Yang Qi's attack suddenly became fierce. It should be that Yang Qi had sensed the arrival of his companions and wanted to kill him quickly!
It must be said that the guess of this Martial Emperor Peak Level 2 cultivator was correct. Yang Qi suddenly launched a fierce attack after sensing the arrival of the two Martial Emperor Peak Level 3 cultivators. Although he was sure that he could kill the cultivator in front of him even if the two Martial Emperor Peak Level 3 cultivators arrived, he would inevitably face the siege of the two Martial Emperor Peak Level 3 cultivators at that time.
Although Yang Qi is not afraid of the other party, he can obviously avoid meeting the other party face to face, so why bother to waste time
“In that case, let’s use the Soul Devouring Cone again!” A gleam of brilliance flashed in the depths of Yang Qi’s eyes, and he had already made up his mind.
Whoosh~
The next moment, the Soul-Devouring Cone appeared in Yang Qi's hand, transformed into a cone shadow, and attacked the second-level Martial Emperor peak cultivator.
“Oh no!”
Seeing the attacking cone shadow, the face of the second level cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor changed drastically. He was very clear about his current state. Once attacked by the Soul Devouring Cone, his soul might be severely damaged and it would collapse on its own. Even if his two companions arrived at that time, he would have to pay a huge extra price to survive.
Thinking of this, the second-level cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level did not dare to be careless and directly burned the origin of his soul. Although burning his own origin could also increase the strength of his soul, the effect was worse than directly burning the origin of his soul to increase the strength of his soul.
In order to resist Yang Qi's soul attack at this moment, he could only choose to burn the essence of his soul. After all, relying solely on burning his own essence was not enough to resist the Soul Devouring Cone. He had already learned from previous experience.
