Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Yun Qi knew this battle would not be easy. Even though he was now a three-ring Soul Elder with an excellent One Yellow Two Purple Spirit Ring Configuration, he did not dare let his guard down. The giant before him possessed ten thousand years of cultivation and was a high-level Spirit Beast on the brink of extinction!

But he had to take this Spirit Beast down. If he missed this one, Yun Qi would slap himself a few times even in his dreams! Once he took it down, he would no longer have to painstakingly gather all kinds of materials and ores like Tang San had. At the same time, Yun Qi had a feeling that his Martial Soul would undergo an earth-shattering transformation.

Yun Qi looked at Xiao Wu. Because of their close relationship, he had obtained his other two Spirit Rings with the help of Xiao Wu's younger brother, Er Ming. When Er Ming first saw Xiao Wu, he had thought she was an impostor, as she did not carry the slightest aura of a Spirit Beast. Only after Yun Qi and Xiao Wu explained things, lifted Xiao Wu's Aura Concealment, and used Aura Concealment on Er Ming as well did he believe them. Er Ming had not held back at all when helping the beloved Sister Xiao Wu, making Yun Qi suffer a little!

As for whether Xiao Wu would feel guilty about killing Spirit Beasts? Clearly not. Yun Qi now filled her heart completely, and she simply did not care much about anything other than the people and beasts she cared for. When Da Ming and Er Ming got hungry, they could eat an untold amount in a single meal. Most of the time, though, beings at their level no longer needed to eat much!

They now shared a tacit understanding ordinary people could never comprehend. Long ago, they had used the reward from awakening their Martial Souls together: the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Though their Martial Soul traits were incompatible, this reward was simply that unreasonable, forcing them to adapt! This was also why Yun Qi dared to face this terrifying Spirit Beast head-on!

Xiao Wu understood Yun Qi's intent as well. After activating Martial Soul Possession, she turned into a soft pink glow and entered Yun Qi's body. Yun Qi began to change. Two rabbit ears suddenly popped up on his head, while his beautiful black hair instantly turned white! His eyes became pink as well. There were no major changes to the rest of his body, but the muscles in his legs visibly bulged. His entire aura changed in an instant, transforming him from the big brother next door into an alluring, seductive man?

Feeling the explosive power within him, Yun Qi had a swelling sensation with nowhere to vent it. Against such a massive opponent, he could only go all out. Otherwise, whether he could even break through its defense was another matter entirely!

Yun Qi said to Xiao Wu inside his body:

"We're going, Xiao Wu!"

"Hurry up and finish this! Maintaining the Martial Soul Fusion Skill state is exhausting! Even twenty Crystal Carrots won't be enough to replenish me!"

Yun Qi smiled. He suddenly exerted force through his feet, and the Yellow Spirit Ring on his body flashed, causing his speed to erupt once more! Sword qi shot straight toward the Ironclad Sword Dragon's eyes. To kill this giant, he could only target its eyes or its rear. Yun Qi chose the eyes, since he also had to consider Xiao Wu's feelings as a fellow Spirit Beast!

The Ironclad Sword Dragon had no time to React. It had been quietly drinking water when a streak of sword qi shot toward it, suddenly vanished, then reappeared directly in its eye!

Taking advantage of the instant when the Ironclad Sword Dragon was dazed by pain, Yun Qi thrust his sword straight into its mouth!

Sword qi raged within the Ironclad Sword Dragon's eye socket! Blood flowed from its mouth as well. From the day it was born until now, it had never suffered such severe injuries. It usually deliberately protected its weak points. Even when it encountered Spirit Beasts or Spirit Masters it wanted to kill, those that could get close could not break its defense, while those that could break its defense would be pierced through from afar by the Sharp Swords on its back! It could not help but let out a pained and furious roar!

Boom!

Fallen leaves swirled through the air, and rings of ripples spread across the river's surface!

Looking at the enraged Ironclad Sword Dragon before him, Yun Qi immediately retreated several steps, dodging its bite. Then he bent backward sharply, barely avoiding a tail sweep aimed at his face!

Seeing the Ironclad Sword Dragon's exposed rear, Yun Qi immediately used his Second Spirit Skill. Yun Qi and Xiao Wu had obtained this Second Spirit Skill with Er Ming's help by killing a nearly three-thousand-year-old Gold Devouring Ant in the Star Dou Great Forest. Because of its exceptional penetrating power, it was named Heart Piercer!

The sword in Yun Qi's hand moved like a white snake flicking its tongue, hissing as it tore through the air and stabbed straight at its rear.

But how could the Ironclad Sword Dragon not know its own weakness? It immediately tucked its tail. The blade entered its body, but it was ultimately not long enough 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, bringing both offense and defense to their limits at once!

However, by doing so, the Sword Dragon lost most of its vision. Yun Qi could only keep moving, occasionally striking it with sword qi enhanced by his Second Spirit Skill. The sword qi, naturally capable of breaking defenses and impossible to track, repeatedly tore open the Sword Dragon's body!

The Ironclad Sword Dragon realized this would not work. Though its wild charges looked frightening, without vision, it could not hit this man who had pushed his speed to the limit at all! The Ironclad Sword Dragon rose to its feet again and let out an ear-splitting roar. Enduring the intense pain, the Sharp Swords on its back rapidly pulled free from its body one after another and shot straight toward Yun Qi.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Sharp Swords continuously sliced past Yun Qi. Seeing this, Yun Qi was nearly dumbfounded. This Spirit Beast had no sense of fair play—it had turned the swords on its back into something like a Gatling gun. Yun Qi continuously used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Purple Demon Eye to evade the swords, but they seemed to have GPS tracking! He simply could not shake them off.

Yun Qi's expression darkened. His Third Spirit Ring lit up, and a sword shadow emerged directly 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 of the Star Dou Great Forest possessed impressive flying ability and could also provide certain enhancements to a Martial Soul!

Seeing the sharp swords still pursuing him after he took to the air, Yun Qi gritted his teeth and flew toward the Ironclad Sword Dragon with the swords trailing behind him. The long sword in his hand pointed directly at the Sword Dragon.

Seeing Yun Qi flying toward it at high speed, the Ironclad Sword Dragon feared that he would stab its eyes again. It immediately shut both eyes, using the thick ore on its eyelids as protection.

But would Yun Qi make it that simple? Upon reaching the Sword Dragon, Yun Qi abruptly stopped with Sword Control, then rapidly climbed higher. The Sharp Swords that could not turn in time slammed into the Ironclad Sword Dragon one after another! Though they did not deal much damage, they crippled the Ironclad Sword Dragon's means of attack!

Now, it was merely a target with exceptionally high defense!

Just as Yun Qi prepared to make a move, Xiao Wu hurriedly reminded him:

"Brother, I can't hold on much longer. The Soul Power in my body is almost exhausted!"

Yun Qi's expression turned solemn.

"Xiao Wu, let's end this quickly. We'll use that move directly!"

"Okay, Brother!"

That was right! A Martial Soul Fusion Skill was not simply the fusion of two people's bodies.

Yun Qi raised the long sword in his hand high. With a sweep of his hand, his Martial Soul transformed into a massive black-purple sword shadow, releasing a straight Sword Light over ten meters long. Wherever the sword qi passed, it carved a massive ravine through the ground.

Drawing the sword like thunder; once the sword emerged, heads fell.

Before the Ironclad Sword Dragon's despairing eyes, the Sword Light sliced through its neck, severed the river behind it, and left neat cuts across the surrounding trees before they came crashing down!

Yun Qi, meanwhile, fell heavily from the low sky straight to the ground!

Bang!

Yun Qi's body kicked up a cloud of dust!

Xiao Wu also turned into a soft glow and withdrew from Yun Qi's body. She dropped onto the ground and gulped down fresh air!
