--- Chapter 208 ---
Luo Bingbing was furious.
Out of all things, there is one thing she couldn't get behind. And that's someone slandering her husband!
She took any offense toward her husband very seriously, which makes one wonder what kind of life she went through in the Tale of Unfinished Samsara.
Protector Wuyou frowned because she couldn't detect a sliver of Dou Qi inside Luo Bingbing's body. Yet she could feel a threatening force coming from her.
Unlike Baek Ain, they didn't have an overly refined and massive reserve of Dou Qi to contend with Luo Bingbing's Spiritual Energy. So, even though they are in a similar realm(roughly), Dou Saint Realm, Luo Bingbing has the extreme advantage.
It's like comparing spiritual water to tap water.
"Spead out!" Protector Wuyou drew a formation array, and bloody energy burst out, enveloping everything within a hundred-meter radius.
Protector Sun, Wei, and Li spread out and surrounded Baek Ain and Luo Bingbing. Their energy fluctuation is that of a Dou Saint, but something is definitely weird about their origin.
'Alicia, is it just me, or they don't feel like humans?' Baek Ain asked his system.
[Well, they aren't humans in the first place] Alicia answered.
[As a matter of fact, they are Living Spirits. A condensation of Blood-type Dou Qi who regained consciousness after a long accumulation]
Baek Ain eyed Protector Wuyou and smiled, "Interesting."
The existence of Living Spirits isn't new to Baek Ain because he had several Heavenly Flames under his control. He stared at Luo Bingbing's back and warned, "Bingbing, you can beat them up, but don't kill them."
"Understood." Luo Bingbing responded while pulling a silver longsword from her spatial ring. It's a beautiful sword, having a snake pattern along the blade and the handle.
"I will just beat them to a pulp..." Her indifferent voice reached the Hall of Souls' Protectors.
"Blood Emperor's Hand." Protector Wuyou frowned slightly and activated her formation array, allowing bloody energy to clump into a massive red hand.
The hand traveled at the speed of light, tearing through the air.
However, Luo Bingbing didn't even blink and casually swung her sword upward.
Slash!
The red hand sliced into a thousand pieces, leaving the Protectors dumbfounded.
"What!"
"I enhanced that attack of mine with Blood God Array, so how could a mere sword slash slice it?"
Luo Bingbing pointed her sword at Protector Wuyou, "Your lower plane's array is just child's play to me. Your attack is all energy, with no substance."
"Blood Emperor's Palm, you're embarrassing yourself."
"You-!" Protector Wuyou was agitated. She also felt a little cautious about Luo Bingbing's mysterious sword technique.
Luo Bingbing's green eyes gleamed evilly, "You bitch boast to take my husband's life. I will never forgive you."
[Luo Clan's Sword Technique - 1st Variation: Heavenly Net]
Luo Bingbing stabbed her sword fluidly as if she were throwing a heavy net, causing the air to warp quickly. After that, she slashed through the warp and created a cage of sharpness.
Protector Wuyou wanted to use her formation array. She tried to repel the Heavenly Net that Luo Bingbing, but all her efforts were futile when the Blood Qi came in contact with Spiritual Energy.
BAM!
"Impossible!" Protector Wuyou watched her Blood Qi crumble upon meeting Luo Bingbing's attack.
The sharp cage arrived and trapped her shortly after.
"Argh!" A painful cry escaped her mouth.
Seeing their fellow Protector injured, the remaining Protector couldn't stay idle and advanced. They brandished their weapons and lunged after Luo Bingbing.
Luo Bingbing glanced at them and readied her sword.
[Luo Clan's Sword Technique - 2nd Variation: Ice Lotus's Shard]
After leaving the Great Thousand World, Luo Bingbing wandered to countless lower planes and made her own take of her clan's sword technique.
She didn't pursue raw strength, as each technique she made is 'literally' attributed to her cultivation.
In her enemy's vision, Luo Bingbing looks like she is throwing a bunch of lotus petals at the enemy. However, the truth is terrifying.
Each lotus petal is actually condensed Spiritual Energy and Sword Intent, which could cut through one's soul.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Luo Bingbing bombarded the three Protectors with her sword energy. And they couldn't do anything about it.
They could only cry in agony as countless shards struck them.
If Luo Bingbing didn't hold back, they could have died many times already.
Protector Wuyou hovered in the air with difficulty. After enduring Luo Binbing's attack, she survived somehow and watched her comrades fall into a storm.
'What's this? Just what the fuck is this?'
'Since when did a powerful sword technique exist in this world? Even in the Ancient Era, there is nothing like this.'
Luo Bingbing sheathed her sword and glanced at the battered Hall of Souls' Protectors mockingly. "Weaklings, and yet you dare to recruit my husband."
"You're not worthy."
"Y-You don't know what Hall of Souls is capable of. You have offended us, and the other Protectors won't let you be!" Protector Wuyou paled, but she still tried to play a bluffing card.
Before Protector Wuyou could spout more nonsense, Luo Bingbing arrived before her eyes and pointed her energy-coated finger at her pale eyebrow.
BOOOOOOOOOM!!!
A shockwave washed the area, breaking the formation array and even causing the Pill Tower to shake for a bit. A thousand miles of clouds parted, creating this beautiful blue gap in the cloudy day.
Luo Bingbing literally sliced the sky with her finger alone.
"You're lucky my husband told me not to kill you..." Luo Bingbing leaned to Protector Wuyou's ears and whispered emotionlessly.
Baek Ain smiled, "Alicia, I think my decision back then wasn't bad."
[Yeah, probably your best investment ever] Alicia agreed immediately.
After watching how Luo Bingbing fought, Baek Ain could see the essence of her swordplays. Though his mastery is more on Blade Art, he also dabbles in the concept of swords.
And Luo Bingbing throughly mastered it without any doubt.
"Good job, Bingbing." Baek Ain waved his hand and killed the three Protectors.
[Ding! You have killed Hall of Souls' Protector Sun, Wei, and Lii]
[Soul Protection(Unknown) is activated]
[Ding! You have obtained the Protectors' memories and skills]
[You have acquired four Active Skills and two Passive Skills]
Luo Bingbing rubbed her face a little and cheerfully turned around to Baek Ain. "Everything for you, Ain~!" She said with a happy smile.
Baek Ain rubbed Luo Bingbing's head affectionately and looked down on the stunned Protector Wuyou. "Your Hall of Souls is quick to avenge your fallen comrades but slow at spying on the enemy."
"I don't know if I should commend your stupidity."
"Just kill me!" Protector Wuyou gritted her teeth.
Baek Ain raised his brows and chuckled, "Oh, I will. But where is the fun in that?"
"Just a little heads up, I'm in dire need of Soul-related Technique, and your Hall of Souls possesses a massive collection of such techniques. So, I will peek into your soul and take everything I could get first."
After saying that, Baek Ain grabbed Protector Wuyou's face and invaded her soul. She shrieked like a pig and felt her soul burn from the brief inspection.
Seconds felt like an eternity for her.
Getting some Soul-related Techniques, Baek Ain coated his hand with his soul energy and increased his grip's strength.
SPLAT!
Protector Wuyou's body exploded into blood mist.
Luo Bingbing tactfully created a barrier around Baek Ain, not wanting him to get sullied by the remains of Protector Wuyou.
[Ding! You have killed the Hall of Souls' Protector Wuyou]

[Yes/No]
"Yes." Baek Ain pressed 'Yes' right away.
"It's time to counterattack."
"I cannot wait to destroy another branch of this filthy group."
