Yun Qi knew this battle would not be easy. Even though he was now a three-ringed Spirit Elder with the excellent One Yellow Two Purple Spirit Ring Configuration, he still did not dare let his guard down. The huge beast before him had a cultivation of ten thousand years—and it was also a high-level soul beast on the verge of extinction!
However, he had to win this battle. If he missed this soul beast, Yun Qi would slap himself several times even in his dreams! Once he took down this soul beast, he would no longer need to gather all kinds of materials and ores as Tang San had in the original story. At the same time, Yun Qi had a feeling that his Martial Soul would undergo earth-shaking changes.
Yun Qi glanced at Xiao Wu. Because of his close relationship with her, his other two Spirit Rings had been obtained with the help of Xiao Wu's younger brother, Er Ming. When Er Ming saw Xiao Wu, he had initially thought she was an impostor, since she did not have the slightest trace of a soul beast's aura. After Yun Qi and Xiao Wu explained everything, they lifted Xiao Wu's Aura Concealment and applied Aura Concealment to Er Ming as well. Only then did Er Ming believe them. For someone helping his beloved Sister Xiao Wu, Er Ming showed no mercy at all, making Yun Qi suffer a little!
As for killing soul beasts, would Xiao Wu feel guilty? Obviously not. Yun Qi had already filled Xiao Wu's heart completely, so she did not really care about anything other than the people and beasts she valued. Whenever Da Ming and Er Ming got hungry, they could eat an unknown amount in one meal. Most of the time, though, creatures at their level no longer needed to eat much!
The two of them now shared a tacit understanding that ordinary people could never comprehend. They had already used the reward from their Martial Soul awakening—the Martial Soul Fusion Skill—together. Although their Martial Soul traits did not match, the reward was unreasonable enough to forcefully make them compatible! That was also why Yun Qi dared to face this terrifying soul beast head-on!
Xiao Wu understood Yun Qi's intentions as well. After immediately using Martial Soul Possession, she transformed into a pink stream of soft light and entered Yun Qi's body. Yun Qi began to change too. Two Rabbit Ears suddenly sprang from his head, while his beautiful black hair instantly turned white. His eyes also became pink. His body itself did not change much, but the muscles in his legs visibly swelled. His entire bearing changed in an instant, from a friendly big brother next door into an enchanting, seductive man?
Yun Qi felt the explosive power surging through him, giving him an urge to vent it somewhere. Against such a massive opponent, he could only go all out. Otherwise, whether he could even break through its defenses was another matter!
Yun Qi spoke to Xiao Wu inside his body:
"We're going in, Xiao Wu!"
"Let's finish this quickly. The Martial Soul Fusion Skill state is exhausting! I won't recover even after eating twenty Crystal Carrots!"
Yun Qi smiled as well. He suddenly exerted force with his Feet, and the Yellow Spirit Ring on his body flashed, causing his speed to explode once more! Sword Light shot straight toward the Ironclad Sword Dragon's eyes. To kill such a massive beast, he could only target its eyes or its rear. Yun Qi chose the eyes—after all, he had to consider Xiao Wu's feelings as a fellow soul beast!
The Ironclad Sword Dragon had no time to React. While it was silently replenishing its water, a burst of Sword Light shot straight at it, then suddenly vanished. When it appeared again, it had already struck its eye!
Taking advantage of the moment when the Ironclad Sword Dragon was still dazed by the pain, Yun Qi thrust his sword straight Inside His Mouth!
Sword Qi rampaged through the Ironclad Sword Dragon's eye socket, while blood flowed from its mouth. From birth until now, it had never suffered such a severe injury. Usually, it deliberately protected its weak points. Even when it encountered soul beasts or Spirit Masters it wanted to kill, those that could enter its range could not break through its defenses, while those that could break through its defenses would already have been pierced by the Sharp Swords on its back from a distance! It could not help but let out a roar of pain and fury!
"Boom!"
The fallen leaves around them flew everywhere, while the surface of the small river rippled in circles!
Seeing the enraged Ironclad Sword Dragon before him, Yun Qi immediately leaped backward several steps, dodging its bite. Then he bent backward, narrowly avoiding a tail sweep that nearly struck him in the face!
Seeing the Ironclad Sword Dragon's wide-open rear, Yun Qi immediately used his Second Spirit Skill. This Second Spirit Skill had been obtained after Yun Qi and Xiao Wu killed a nearly three-thousand-year-old Gold Devouring Ant in the Star Dou Great Forest with Er Ming's help. Because of its astonishing penetrating power, it was named Heart Piercer!
The sword in Yun Qi's hand moved like a white snake flicking out its tongue, hissing as it tore through the air before stabbing straight toward the Ironclad Sword Dragon's rear.
But how could the Ironclad Sword Dragon not know its own weakness? It clamped its tail shut at once. The sword blade sank into its body, but it was ultimately too short to penetrate completely inside!
Injured again, the Ironclad Sword Dragon immediately curled up, exposing only the Sharp Swords on its back. Like a hedgehog, it rolled toward Yun Qi, maxing out both its offense and defense at once!
However, by doing so, the Ironclad Sword Dragon also lost most of its vision. Yun Qi had no choice but to keep moving, striking the dragon with Sword Qi combined with the Second Spirit Skill from time to time. The Sword Qi automatically pierced defenses and left an indistinct trajectory, repeatedly tearing open the dragon's body!
The Ironclad Sword Dragon realized that this would not work. Its reckless charges looked frightening, but without a clear view, it could not hit the man who had pushed his speed to the limit! The Ironclad Sword Dragon stood up again and let out a deafening roar. Enduring the pain, it rapidly pulled the Sharp Swords on its back free one after another, sending them shooting toward Yun Qi.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The Sharp Swords constantly flew past Yun Qi. He was nearly dumbfounded by the sight. This soul beast had no sense of honor at all—the swords on its back had been turned into something like a Gatling gun. Yun Qi continuously circulated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Purple Demon Eye to dodge the incoming swords, but they seemed to have GPS tracking! He simply could not shake them off.
Yun Qi's expression darkened, and his Third Spirit Ring lit up. A sword shadow shot directly out from beneath his feet, carrying him into the sky. That was right—Yun Qi's Third Spirit Skill was Sword Control. The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent from the Star Dou Great Forest possessed impressive flying ability and could also provide a certain enhancement to his Martial Soul!
Seeing that the Sharp Swords continued pursuing him even after he took flight, Yun Qi hardened his heart. He flew toward the Ironclad Sword Dragon while dragging the swords along with him, his Long Sword pointed straight at the dragon.
Seeing Yun Qi flying rapidly toward it, the Ironclad Sword Dragon feared that he would stab its eyes again. It immediately closed both eyes, using the thick ore on its eyelids to block the attack.
But would Yun Qi really be that simple? When he reached the Ironclad Sword Dragon, he abruptly halted with Sword Control before rapidly ascending. The Sharp Swords, unable to turn in time, crashed into the Ironclad Sword Dragon one after another! Although they did not cause much damage, they crippled the Ironclad Sword Dragon's means of attack!
Now, it was nothing more than a target with incredibly high defense!
Just as Yun Qi was preparing to Make a Move, Xiao Wu hurriedly reminded him:
"Brother, I'm about to hold on no longer. The Soul Power in my body is almost exhausted!"
Yun Qi's expression turned solemn.
"Xiao Wu, we'll end this quickly. We'll use that move!"
"Okay, Brother!"
That was right! The Martial Soul Fusion Skill was not merely about fusing two people's bodies together.
Yun Qi raised the Long Sword in his hand high, then swung it down with great force. His Martial Soul transformed into a gigantic black-and-purple sword shadow, which swept out a Sword Light more than ten meters long. Wherever the Sword Qi passed, it carved out a massive ravine.
Drawing the sword was like thunder. Once the sword was unleashed, it took the head.
Under the Ironclad Sword Dragon's despairing gaze, the Sword Light sliced through its neck and severed the river behind it. The surrounding trees were left with neat cuts before crashing to the ground!
Yun Qi also fell heavily from the sky, which was not far above the ground!
"Bang!"
Yun Qi's body kicked up a cloud of dust!
Xiao Wu also transformed into soft light and withdrew from Yun Qi's body. She dropped onto the ground with a plop and began gulping down fresh air!
