Chapter 172: Capture


    "Boom!"


    A thunderous explosion, as if shaking the heavens and the earth, suddenly echoed in the sky. At that moment, the entire mountain range below trembled violently, causing even low-level demonic beasts to be shocked by the unexpected thunderous sound, with blood trickling from their ears.


    Gigantic purple mes, like purple clouds, gathered in the sky. Slowly, the mes began to spread, creating visible ripples of energy in the space, reminiscent of tossing giant stones into a calmke, generating waves and visible energy ripples.


    At this moment, Gu He''s gaze was fixed on the spreading purple mes in the sky. The iron-d Wuhu Guardian had just suffered a fierce blow from Gu He and was unlikely to recover quickly. However, regardless of the oue, Gu He was determined to kill this guy to eliminate potential future troubles.


    With such thoughts in mind, a touch of murderous intent shed in Gu He''s eyes. This person must not be allowed to leave peacefully!


    Under the scrutiny of countless eyes, the purple mes continued to spread. At a certain moment, the seemingly cloud-like purple mes suddenly fluctuated. Immediately, a disheveled figure dashed out of it.


    The figure, appearing desperate, fled towards the northern horizon. Stripped of the slightest trace of its former arrogance, the Soul Hall Guardian had obviously lost the capital for pride after the continuous onught.


    Gu He, who had been observing, noticed the moment Wuhu Guardian appeared and coldly chuckled. His figure moved, transforming into a colossal pir of fire that shot out like a me, appearing directly in front of the fleeing Wuhu Guardian within a few blinks.


    "I am a member of the Soul Hall. If you kill me, the Soul Hall will never let you go!"


    Seeing Gu He emerge, Wuhu Guardian quickly slowed down, shouting with a stern tone.


    At this moment, Wuhu Guardian, wrapped in thin ck mist, had be quite weak. His aura had dwindled to a lower level, showing the severe damage inflicted by Gu He''s previous ferocious strike.


    Gu He''s indifferent gaze swept over Wuhu Guardian, and a faint sneer appeared in his eyes. He coldly said, "A dog from a bereaved family."


    "Alright, since you refuse to let go, this Guardian will fight you to the death!"


    Provoked by Gu He''s mockery, Wuhu Guardian roared in anger. Immediately, the ck mist surged out from his body. However, just when everyone thought he was about tounch a final attack, he abruptly turned, taking advantage of the cover of the ck mist, and fled towards another part of the sky.


    Mocking gaze fixed on the fleeing Wuhu Guardian, Gu He shook his head slightly. Then, with a forceful grip, a powerful suction erupted from his palm. Under this force, Wuhu Guardian''s fleeing speed suddenly slowed down. Gu He''s figure moved, and he appeared directly behind him, delivering a fierce palm strike to his back.


    The impact sent Wuhu Guardian stumbling again. Subsequently, the ck mist around his body thinned once more. In his current state, even a Dou Huang-level powerhouse would easily subdue him.


    Having thoroughly wounded Wuhu Guardian, Gu He sneered. He reached out, and vigorous purple mes surged out, forming a massive me that enveloped Wuhu Guardian.


    The purple me acted like a shackle, confining Wuhu Guardian. No matter how he struggled, breaking free from the me seemed impossible. Instead, he could only roar in anger and frustration like a trapped beast.


    With the me in his right hand, Gu He''s figure moved, shing through the air. In a few blinks, hended in a certain location within the mountain range.


    Due to the severity of his injuries, Wuhu Guardian had no room for resistance in front of Gu He.


    Looking at Wuhu Guardian trapped in the me, Gu He breathed a sigh of relief. After so much effort, he had finally dealt with this guy from the Soul Hall.


    "I just didn''t expect that this guy, despite being so severely injured, still has the strength to roar loudly."


    Gu He looked at Wuhu Guardian, who was making a ruckus in the me, with some surprise. Gu He observed Wuhu Guardian for a moment, then frowned, tightened his right hand, and the me quickly contracted. It adhered to Wuhu Guardian''s body, producing a series of sizzling sounds, and Wuhu Guardian also emitted a series of mournful screams.


    As the power of the me eroded, the ck mist on Wuhu Guardian''s body became thinner and thinner. After a moment, it finally dissipatedpletely. With the dispersal of the enveloping ck mist, the true form of Wuhu Guardian was finally revealed!


    Within the energy membrane, a slightly illusionary soul floated slowly. However, this soul now appeared as transparent and ethereal as if it had entered a severely wounded state.


    While looking at the weakened soul of the Soul Hall Guardian, Gu He was stunned.


    "A soul body?"


    Gu He looked at the weak soul of Wuhu Guardian, and a hint of surprise shed in his eyes.


    Perhaps no one had expected that this Soul Hall powerhouse, equivalent to the strength of a Half-Step Dou Venerate, turned out to be just a soul?


    Having read the original work, Gu He had some understanding of this aspect. Since the Soul Hall was named after the soul and targeted powerful soul bodies, this mysterious organization must have a significant connection with souls. Perhaps some of the strong members of the Soul Hall were also soul bodies.


    Gu He understood that the Soul Hall used soul bodies to deal with soul power.


    It''s worth noting that ordinary Dou Qi cannot cause fatal damage to soul bodies. To capture or deal with other soul bodies, the best hunters are also soul bodies of a simr form.


    "If you kill me, the Soul Hall will not let you go!" Wuhu Guardian still red at Gu He with a fierce look, even though he was now in their hands. His hostility was still quite intense.


    "Rest assured, I won''t kill you. I still have a lot I want to learn from you for now." Gu He reached into the energy membrane fearlessly, touching Wuhu Guardian''s soul and smiling.


    Seeing that Gu He dared to be so bold, a sinister expression shed in Wuhu Guardian''s eyes. He flicked his fingers, and a smaller ck chain mysteriously appeared, then stabbed towards Gu He''s hand.


    "Humph!"


    Seeing Wuhu Guardian''s actions, Gu He snorted. He flicked his fingers, and an invisible purple me suddenly appeared in his palm, shooting directly towards Wuhu Guardian.


    The innate me quickly swept over and collided directly with Wuhu Guardian''s soul.


    As soon as the purple mes touched Wuhu Guardian''s soul, thick white smoke and sizzling sounds erupted, followed by a bone-piercing scream from his mouth.


    "Damn, what kind of me is this? It can directly harm the soul?"
