It should be noted that Gustin is at the top of the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor in all aspects, including soul strength and even attainments in the soul.
But even so, when facing Yang Qi's soul attack, his soul was still injured. How could this not shock Gustin!
Fortunately, after Gustin discovered that his soul was damaged, he did not show it at the first time, because he knew that once he showed signs of soul damage, Yang Qi would definitely use soul attacks against him many times in the next battle.
"The Soul Devouring Cone is ineffective?"
Seeing that the Soul Devouring Cone did not seem to cause any harm to Gustin, Yang Qi's face darkened, but the next moment, he shook his head and said, "It's not ineffective, it's just that the effect is very weak!"
Yang Qi still noticed Gustin's momentary distraction, which meant that the Soul Devouring Cone's attack was effective, but the effect was not strong, and he could not use the Soul Devouring Cone to expand the results of the battle.
Since the Soul-Devouring Cone is effective, Yang Qi naturally would not let go of this method. In the next fight, Yang Qi used the Soul-Devouring Cone to attack Gustin again.
After several consecutive attacks from the Soul-Eating Cone, Gustin's soul was injured and the injury was obviously aggravated. After all, his soul was damaged, and he, who was originally almost unaffected by the means of the virtual world, was also suppressed by them.
"Have you been discovered?" A hint of helplessness flashed in Gustin's eyes. Yang Qi used the Soul-Devouring Cone repeatedly, and it was obvious that he noticed that he was injured by the Soul-Devouring Cone. For him, this was obviously not good news.
Gustin's expression changed, and he thought rapidly in his mind, "Although I still have desperate means that I haven't used yet, the other party is the same. If we continue to fight, I will most likely die here."
After fighting for so long, Gustin is very clear that there is still some gap between him and Yang Qi. Although the gap is not big, it may be the key to deciding life or death.
In a life-and-death fight, his chances of winning are not as good as Yang Qi's!
In this situation, Gustin naturally had no intention of fighting to the death with Yang Qi. After all, he was almost certain to reach the ultimate Martial Emperor level, and he didn't want to die just like that.
Although Yang Qi brought him an opportunity, no matter what the opportunity was, it was far less important than his own life.
"withdraw!"
Almost in an instant, Gustin had made up his mind not to continue fighting with Yang Qi. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was not exhausted too much and retreat safely from Yang Qi.
As for what happens next, they can just surround and kill Yang Qi. Even if they cannot kill Yang Qi, by obtaining the opportunity in his hands, they can at least ensure their own safety.
Whoosh~
Immediately, Gustin retreated violently and left the battlefield.
Seeing that Gustin was about to retreat, Yang Qi smiled coldly and said, "It's not that easy to leave!"
As he spoke, Yang Qi had already activated the God-killing Wings, transformed into a stream of light, and rushed towards Gustin. With the blessing of the God-killing Wings, Gustin could not get rid of Yang Qi at all, and could only be forced to fight.
As for trying to withstand Yang Qi's attack and escape, that was even more impossible. After all, Yang Qi's speed was far superior to his, and he was also suppressed by the means of the virtual world. Choosing to withstand and escape when his speed was far inferior to Yang Qi's would be tantamount to suicide!
"Damn it, I can't escape!"
After several attempts, Gustin had to admit that he could not escape from Yang Qi's hands at all. Unless Yang Qi gave up attacking him on his own initiative, he would not be able to get rid of Yang Qi's attack at all.
“Your Excellency really want to fight to the death with me?” Gustin looked at Yang Qi and said coldly, “The difference between our strengths and methods is not that big. If we fight to the death, it’s still unknown who will win in the end!”
Although Gustin's chances of winning were lower than Yang Qi's, Gustin was confident that even if he died, Yang Qi would definitely be seriously injured. Not to mention how to leave the Wuji Universe Alliance safely, just being seriously injured and affecting the future path of cultivation was definitely not a price that ordinary practitioners could bear.
Yang Qi looked at Gustin and said calmly, "If you want me to stop, it's very simple. Hand over the spear in your hand, and I will retreat immediately."
He fought against Gustin only to get the last part of the God-killing Wings. In fact, if possible, he did not want to fight Gustin to death. After all, the difference in strength and means between the two sides was not big. Although Yang Qi had a higher chance of winning, he would have to pay a terrible price to keep Gustin.
Don't forget, this is the rear of the Endless Universe Alliance. Even if Yang Qi doesn't care about the sequelae of the loss of his origin, he still has to consider how to return to the Endless Universe Camp when his strength is greatly reduced.
Therefore, if he could get the last part of the God-killing Wings without a life-and-death fight, Yang Qi would not mind and would just stop there!
"Impossible!" Gustin refused without hesitation.
The spear in his hand was his life-source divine weapon. Once handed over, not only would his strength be greatly damaged, but if it was forcibly stripped away, he would also suffer backlash.
This is no less than a serious injury, how could Gustin agree to it
What's more, the spear itself is a mid-grade source divine weapon. Even with Gustin's strength and means, it is extremely difficult to obtain a source divine weapon of this level. Once lost, it would be a pipe dream to want to obtain a similar or almost the same source divine weapon.
With all these circumstances, handing over the spear would be tantamount to asking Gustin for half his life, so he naturally could not agree to it.
Yang Qi was not too surprised when he heard this. He said coldly, "If that's the case, then let's continue the fight!"
"Do you really think that I am afraid of you?" Gustin shouted angrily.
Since the two sides could not reach an agreement, Gustin naturally gave up the idea of stopping the fight with Yang Qi. He directly swung his spear and met Yang Qi who was coming to kill him.
This time, the fight between the two sides became more intense, and their respective energy and vitality were constantly dissipating in the crazy fight.
While resisting Yang Qi's attack, Gustin secretly said, "I want to see how long you can hold on. If you can't beat me, I will pay the price to restore the consumed essence later."
In Gustin's opinion, although Yang Qi wanted to continue fighting, it was absolutely impossible for him to take the spear from him at the cost of huge loss of his essence, serious injury to himself, and influence on his future cultivation path.
After all, compared to a source divine weapon, the future path of a cultivator is obviously more important. He didn't believe that Yang Qi didn't know this.
In this case, what he had to do was to fight with Yang Qi until Yang Qi could no longer hold on and was unwilling to continue fighting. As for his own consumption, with the support of the Wuji Universe and the Three-Eyed God Clan, there were many treasures to restore his own origin, but it would cost a lot.
However, in Gustin's opinion, these costs are obviously not as important as the spear in his hand!
