Eternal Thief

Alora and Carlee were the most effective from this soul attack because they were the closest, and Carlee even screamed while clutching her head as blood was gushing out of her orifices.

Alora somehow gets a grip of her sanity while biting her tongue, and she madly poured all her Qi into the runic white cube in her hand.

The very next moment thereafter, a barrier started to appear around the Blazing Soul Crocodile and quickly enveloped it. The soul force was also greatly reduced with this barrier, and Carlee fell unconscious on the spot the moment she was relieved from the fiery soul Qi of Blazing Soul Crocodile.

Alora didn't delay as she rushed toward the unconscious Carlee to save her. She had already greatly helped her by luring the Blazing Soul Crocodile into the trap array's center and receiving the biggest outburst of that soul attack.

The trapping array was a high-grade three barriers that can even hold a first minor stage golden soul realm cultivator at bay for half an hour.

However, they were dealing with a platinum river soul core Blazing Soul Crocodile right now that can kill golden soul realm experts on advanced stages, so how could this array hold it?

'Baammmm…'

Alora heard a huge crashing sound from behind and her heart turn cold because the cube in her hand which was also the array-eye cracked, and she twisted her head and saw the barrier was also cracking under the barging of Blazing Soul Crocodile tail swings which were glowing with transparent red soul Qi.

"You can't escape!" Alora wailed and the next moment a blue paper talisman appeared in her, and she released it toward the Blazing Soul Crocodile, and it instantly turned into a blue streak.

Thereafter, a five-meter-long blue sword projection appeared and slashed toward Blazing Soul Crocodile's head, and its power was as strong as a sixth intermediate stage diamond Qi soul cultivator attack.

Blazing Soul Crocodile also seemed to sense the danger from this sword slash, and a transparent red barrier appeared around its body before it opened its jaw and spat a red streak toward the incoming Qi slash.

A gigantic explosion sounded as the barrier also completely shattered and a dirt cloud rise, making everyone clueless about the result of the conclusion.

However, Alora's expression turned nasty, as if she sensed something and gnashed her teeth before another two blue paper talismans appeared in her hand and she released them toward the dirt screen with no hesitation.

'Roar…'

An enraged roar rang in the vicinity again, with the blazing soul Qi mixed within. Blazing Soul Crocodile was still fine but efficiently pissed off because of the last attack.

Two more blue sword slashes materialized and hacked toward the Blazing Soul Crocodile and with extremely icy eyes, this time the Blazing Soul Crocodile sway its red soul Qi-covered tail toward the incoming attack.

However, something completely unexpected happened two more gray streaks appeared from the other side of the dark swamp, and the very next moment thereafter, two fifty-meter gray lances materialized and shot toward Blazing Soul Crocodile's smooth stomach, which was its soft area, and it was completely revealed at this moment.

This was a perfect sneak attack.

The Blazing Soul Crocodile sensed the incoming grave attack whose power wasn't any low than the two sword slashes, but the former damage was too grave to be scoffed off, so it instantly gave on the two sword slashes and black the lances attack!

The two blue slashes landed on its head, breaking off the soul barrier, and two deep wounds appeared on its upper long jaw and even damaged its one eye, which made it roar in pain and fury.

Alora's eyes narrowed when she saw the abrupt appearance of two lance-type talismans, and she quickly knew someone was hiding and wanted to fish in troubled waters.

But it seemed they knew if they miss this chance and let the Blazing Soul Crocodile deal with her first, it would be impossible to fight it alone without suffering loss. That was why they attack when the beast revealed an opening.

It was indeed the case, just as Alora predicted. Santos couldn't just let such an opportunity go by to injure the Blazing Soul Crocodile and used two more Mist Lance Talismans.

However, this also means Alora was now alerted of his presence, and she can run if she deemed this situation completely disadvantageous to her.

Alora just does the thing and after picking Carlee up, she wanted to leave the area because she knew someone who could use two such talismans can't be less strong than her or her background and she wasn't blinded by the fire beast core.

Her life was more important, and she could always look for this person as long as she investigated if the Blazing Soul Crocodile was dead or alive.

However, Santos's cold voice sounded, "Since I reveal myself, do you think I would let anyone out of here, so they could come and bite me afterward? Naïve…!"

The very next moment, a dark barrier emerged from the south of the dark swamp and enveloped the area toward Blazing Soul Crocodile at a quick pace.

Alora's expression changed because she could tell this barrier was far stronger than her small array barrier and if she was trapped in it, she won't be able to escape, so she used her movement skill to run as fast as she could since this barrier had been a limited range of area which it can envelop.

However, she again overestimated this barrier and, even with her movement skill, it quickly reached her and engulfed her. If she wasn't holding Carlee, she might've escaped, but now she fell into this cage.

But she didn't just give up, and a wipe appeared in her hand, while crimson Qi suddenly gushed out of the red wipe and start rising like thick smoke.

The very next moment, she uttered, "Spirited Fire-Snake; Plunge!"

At this moment, her red wipe came alive and turned into a huge snake projection, and she attack the barrier with this strange skill. The snake projection appeared as it opened its jaws and met with the barrier head-on!

The barrier completely shocked for a moment, but alas, even this powerful skill wasn't enough to poke a hole in it.

Santos's astonished voice sounded at this moment, "That was an incomplete secret skill, right? Why don't you help me deal with this big lizard, and I might let you leave?"

Alora's heart grew colder and colder when she heard that voice which easily distinguish her secret skill and this barrier also completely lock down the area.

At this moment, the Blazing Soul Crocodile's soul-piercing cry rang as if it suddenly fell into a frenzy and glowed in crimson, drawing everyone's attention.

"Heh, no matter how intelligent you are in the end you're just a beast and didn't know there are other ways to fight besides high cultivation… everyone in Triangle Killing Formation let's deal with this beast first, it had lost its rationality, I'll protect you from its soul suppression!" Santos quickly gave the command to nine others as they all appeared from their hiding spot.

Santos had a dark formation plate in his hand which was the formation eye of this barrier, and it was a low-grade-4 formation that can be used to trap and as a shield. This was his trump card to trap all the five targets once they appeared.

He never thought he would use it to entrap a participant and a soul beast. But he just couldn't let this golden opportunity go. A soul beast's core was just too tempting even for someone like him, and he can exchange it with many things from Life Demon Association.

The nine of them quickly surrounded Blazing Soul Crocodile from the sides and started to attack it in a pattern as they practice it many times, while Santos was using his soul sense to protect them from soul suppression of this Blazing Soul Crocodile.

Although he can't use his soul Qi or cultivation, he can use his soul sense as long as he didn't perform a soul attack with it.

Alora was amazed seeing how Blazing Soul Crocodile turn like another mindless demonic beast after getting injured once and now those ten demons were toying with it.

'It probably never suffered any injuries in its life and fell into a frenzy after being played by that guy. But this also means I'm trapped here, and they seemed to have ulterior motives, and their teamwork is flawless. Just who are they and why did I feel this deadly feeling from that white demon?'

Alora was very sharp and quickly sprang into action while the others were still busy. She attacked the barrier again, so she could leave the area as quickly as possible.

However, at this moment, Santos's panicked voice rang.

"Not good, it's about to release its ultimate soul attack with everything it had!"
