Two Great Soul Bone Skills Seeking Investment

Two Great Soul Bone Skills Seeking Investment

The Golden Dragon in the sky wrestled with the Ghost Willow. Just as it was about to be dragged down, the one-minute limit suddenly ran out. The Golden Dragon directly turned into specks of golden light and scattered through the air.

To avoid provoking the Ghost Willow, Xu Changqing had not let it use its killing move, Heavenly Walk Rupture. He needed a brief recovery of Soul Power—not much, just enough to use his First Soul Skill twice.

He sat cross-legged atop a large tree dozens of meters away, meditating and cultivating as he rapidly restored his Soul Power. In the distance, the Ghost Willow thrashed its branches about for a while. When it failed to find the Golden Dragon, it seemed to give up, and the area temporarily quieted down.

Time quietly passed. Ten minutes later.

Xu Changqing, who had been meditating cross-legged, calmly opened his eyes. His complexion looked much better than before.

He sensed the Soul Power within his body and let out a long breath. Then, using the ancient forest trees for cover, he quietly approached the Ghost Willow.

Along the way, a yellow Century Soul Ring rose beneath his feet and flew directly over his head. A Golden Dragon emerged from it with a roar, twisting and swaying as it charged toward the Ghost Willow to draw its attention.

Seeing that this defeated opponent had appeared again, the Ghost Willow naturally refused to show weakness. Two Natal Willow Branches, like venomous snakes, tangled with the Golden Dragon in midair in the blink of an eye.

Xu Changqing's First Soul Skill, Golden Dragon · Skywalk Pierce, might not have been able to do much to it, but drawing its attention was easy enough.

After all, the Golden Dragon's enormous size was right there. It would have been difficult not to attract the Ghost Willow's attention.

Using the opportunity created by the Golden Dragon, he rapidly closed in on the Ghost Willow's main body.

When only around twenty meters remained, he stopped behind a tree. The Century Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up again, breaking away from Xu Changqing and flying toward the Ghost Willow's main body. A second Golden Dragon howled as it burst forth, practically making intimate contact with the Ghost Willow's body in an instant and catching it completely off guard.

Its sharp dragon horns instantly transformed into two golden swords that viciously stabbed into the Ghost Willow's trunk, nearly piercing straight through it. Green, resin-like liquid sprayed from the Ghost Willow's wounds.

After taking that blow, the Ghost Willow's trunk began to sway violently. Countless willow branches, like tiny venomous snakes, coiled toward the Golden Dragon that had suddenly attacked it.

However, compared to its Natal Willow Branches, these ordinary branches were clearly on a completely different level. With merely a twist and sweep of its tail, the Golden Dragon snapped most of the willow branches into several pieces. These ordinary branches were clearly incapable of doing anything to it.

The Ghost Willow also realized the awkwardness of its current situation. It had no choice but to retract one Natal Willow Branch and lash it at the Golden Dragon that was wildly biting and crashing against its trunk, intending to drive it away from its main body.

With one fewer Natal Willow Branch tying it down, the Golden Dragon in the sky felt much less pressure. It roared with overwhelming momentum and dove down. In an instant, two dragons and one tree collided at close range.

The Golden Dragons were utterly fearless. Even when their bodies were scattered by lashes, they immediately re-formed. Although their attacks could not inflict fatal damage on the now-alert Ghost Willow, their savage fighting style temporarily suppressed it.

The two enormous Golden Dragons could be said to have occupied most of the Ghost Willow's attention.

"Good chance!"

Xu Changqing's eyes lit up. He extended his hand, and the Dragon Scale Spear instantly appeared in his palm. The next moment, he charged toward the Ghost Willow.

With the Ghost Willow unable to look after itself, how could it spare the time to notice a tiny figure like him? The branches across its entire canopy were struggling to fend off the two Golden Dragons.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Changqing leaped into the air and swept the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand horizontally. His target was the several willow branches wrapped around Si Si Jie.

He had to save Si Si Jie first. Otherwise, who knew what the frenzied Ghost Willow might do?

As for the others, there was nothing he could do. They would have to fend for themselves.

For a soul beast like the Ghost Willow, ordinary willow branches were not difficult to sever. Moreover, it had drawn away most of its branches to resist the two Golden Dragons, making Xu Changqing's task even easier.

As the Dragon Scale Spear swept past, the several thumb-thick willow branches encasing Si Si Jie snapped apart and fell. Xu Changqing caught Si Si Jie, who had been wrapped inside them, then turned and ran.

A few scattered willow branches stabbed toward this uninvited guest, but he easily dodged them. Before long, he had run beyond the Ghost Willow's attack range.

Xu Changqing urgently pulled away the willow branches wrapped around Si Si Jie and gave her a simple examination. He found a deep strangulation mark around her neck, but aside from that, the rest were only superficial injuries.

"Her breath is still there, and her pulse is still beating. She probably just passed out from suffocation."

"Thank goodness, thank goodness."

Xu Changqing took a Physique Elementary Enhancement Fluid from the System Space and fed it to her. Then, gripping the Dragon Scale Spear, he turned around and charged back into battle.

Now that Si Si Jie was safe, it was time for him to hunt his second Soul Ring!

"Heavenly Walk Rupture!"

As soon as he rushed close, he raised a hand and clenched it. Receiving the command, the golden radiance across the two Golden Dragons' bodies began compressing rapidly into their mouths. The next moment, two beams of golden destructive light erupted simultaneously, their sharp Geng Metal Energy seeming capable of tearing apart everything in their path.

The Ghost Willow had long prepared for this. Most of the willow branches on its trunk crossed and intertwined, forming two enormous umbrella-like conical discs before its trunk to block the attack. At the center of each disc were its two Natal Willow Branches.

In the blink of an eye.

The two golden beams slammed viciously into the conical discs of willow branches. The sharp Geng Metal Energy was like countless blades, shredding the willow branch discs and sending fragments and resin flying everywhere.

Though the attack looked imposing, it did not actually inflict much real damage on the Ghost Willow. It only needed to absorb the Life essence of a few more soul beasts to replenish these ordinary branches.

As long as its trunk and Natal Willow Branches did not suffer serious damage, it would soon recover to its peak condition.

Xu Changqing also knew full well how troublesome the Ghost Willow was, so he naturally would not give it that chance to recover. Besides, he intended to kick it while it was down!

While its two Natal Willow Branches were still resisting Heavenly Walk Rupture, the bright silver 100,000 Year Head Soul Bone quietly appeared on Xu Changqing's forehead.

"Mental Amplification!"

In an instant, he felt his spiritual power rise by several levels.

After absorbing the 100,000 Year Head Soul Bone earlier, Xu Changqing's spiritual power had already surpassed that of his peers by an unknown number of times.

Now that it had been amplified again, even he could not say what level his spiritual power had reached.

Even without deliberately sensing his surroundings, every rustle of wind and grass within several hundred meters clearly appeared in his mind. He could even distinctly sense the "breathing" of the plants and trees. Everything in the world seemed to have slowed down.

"What a profound feeling."

Xu Changqing wanted to immerse himself in it and carefully comprehend the changes around him, but he knew this was not the time.

The spiritual power in his sea of consciousness began to surge violently, pouring into his eyes. Strands of transparent light-flame began dancing at the corners of his eyes.

The next moment, two solid beams of light as thick as fingers shot from his pupils, faintly warping the space along their path with their impact.

"Annihilation Divine Light!"

This was an attack formed entirely by compressing and condensing spiritual power. It could directly strike a living creature's spiritual space. Anyone hit by it whose spiritual power was weaker than Xu Changqing's would become an idiot at best, or have their soul scattered and annihilated on the spot at worst.
