Chapter 009: Suppression

Wang Bo, in order to save the other Laura, struck without mercy.

In an instant, he tore through the storm and charged before the Sun Queen Himiko. Himiko, having lived for thousands of years, was naturally no simple woman.

At the critical moment, she released her power.

It was a power completely different from magic or mana, full of spirituality.

This force compressed the air, forming a solid wall of air in front of her, but she underestimated Wang Bo; a wall of this level meant nothing to him.

Perhaps a missile might not penetrate this wall.

But Wang Bo could easily pierce through it.

Puchi...

The moment Wang Bo's wrist pierced the air wall, Himiko was startled. A powerful impact force instantly struck Wang Bo's chest, like a flood bursting through a dam, sending him reeling back.

Bang!

Wang Bo involuntarily flew backward dozens of meters.

But he quickly steadied himself, staring intently at Himiko. Meanwhile, Himiko levitated off the ground, the wind acting as her wings, carrying her through the air.

The next second, an invisible blade of air sliced through the air, sweeping toward Wang Bo's head.

Seeing Wang Bo attack her without hesitation, Himiko grew angry.

As the Sun Queen, she immediately launched a fierce counterattack.

Wang Bo sneered, his figure vanishing instantly. With a teleport, he appeared behind Himiko in the blink of an eye.

But at that moment, Wang Bo felt as if he had fallen into a quagmire; the surrounding air was thick and heavy, with immense pressure, making it nearly impossible to move.

However, Wang Bo gave a slight shake of his body, repelling the surrounding air.

An invisible wave of air swept out in all directions, blowing Himiko away, her splendid robes rustling loudly.

Their exchange lasted only a blink of an eye.

But the danger within it was known only to the two of them; onlookers were naturally bewildered.

After steadying herself, Himiko involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat. The brief exchange shocked her—she realized she might not be a match for Wang Bo.

This left her in a delicate mood.

She had thought that with her strength, she could sweep across the world, but she never expected that before she could develop, a powerful enemy would come knocking.

These days, can't one even develop in obscurity?

Wang Bo had no time to think about such trivial matters; his sole focus was to drive Himiko out of Laura's body and save his friend Laura.

But the problem was that Himiko occupied Laura's body. Wang Bo couldn't go all out against this body, so he had to suppress his power, which allowed Himiko to escape from his grasp several times.

However, Wang Bo wasn't too anxious, because he knew Himiko couldn't escape. By gradually increasing his power, he could suppress Himiko and eventually capture her without harming Laura's body.

After that, Wang Bo would find a way to expel Himiko's soul from Laura's body and awaken Laura's true soul.

"You can't kill me," Himiko sensed Wang Bo's intention and flashed him a brilliant smile.

Wang Bo snorted coldly and teleported again.

Himiko was not to be outdone. The moment Wang Bo vanished, she summoned a barrier of wind to protect herself while constantly moving around.

Wang Bo struck several times but failed to catch Himiko.

Himiko seized the opportunity to counterattack, releasing her power.

Suddenly, Wang Bo felt a chilling force emanating from the surrounding air, invading his body, seemingly attempting to transform it.

Wang Bo snorted. Ripples surged like a mountain torrent from within his blood, the powerful ripples nearly blazing, annihilating the invading cold force.

Himiko let out a muffled groan, her face turning pale.

Wang Bo laughed, knowing what had just happened. "Trying to turn me into your Storm Warrior? You're dreaming too big."

Himiko's face grew even colder. The wind howled around her, and aside from Wang Bo, neither Xiao Bai nor Xiao Qing could get within half a step of her.

"I don't believe you have no weaknesses," Himiko said, unleashing a powerful force that turned the area around her into a lifeless dead zone. Within a ten-meter radius, it became a forbidden land of death.

Any life that entered would wither completely.

This was the power of the ghostly path.

It was with this power that Himiko could create Storm Warriors.

In her eyes, Wang Bo's teleportation was too strange, so she had to use this method to restrict it, even if it consumed a great deal of her power.

On the other hand, Wang Bo paid no heed to Himiko's death zone. He teleported into the area, and the death force followed, invading his body, seemingly intent on turning him into a corpse.

But the ripples within Wang Bo's body surged forth, blocking that force.

His right hand grabbed Himiko's slender neck. "Get out of Laura's body, or I'll kill you right now."

Himiko sneered, "You wouldn't dare."

Wang Bo admitted that he indeed didn't dare. If he crushed Himiko's neck, he wasn't sure if Himiko would die, but Laura would certainly die, because Himiko was using Laura's body.

Moreover, in the storyline, Himiko had survived for centuries even with a dead body.

So Wang Bo truly didn't dare to crush Himiko's neck.

"Do you really think I have no way to deal with you?" Wang Bo sneered. He wasn't very proficient in soul magic, but he had many demons under his command who were extremely skilled with souls.

However, the problem was that these demons were far weaker than Himiko, so extracting Himiko's soul was no simple task.

But fortunately, Wang Bo had many demons. If they worked together, with Wang Bo's help, extracting Himiko's soul and releasing Laura's soul should be possible.

Having made up his mind, Wang Bo nodded to Xiao Bai and the others and instantly entered the Time Villa.

But half an hour later, Wang Bo came out of the Time Villa with Himiko, his expression extremely grim.

Himiko, on the other hand, looked at Wang Bo with a triumphant expression.

Xiao Bai, puzzled, walked over. "What happened?"

Laura also approached, utterly confused. "Chris, why do you call Himiko 'Laura'?"
