Martial Soul Fusion Skill

Qian Renxue listened to Bi Zihan's words. Rather than getting angry, she laughed, her laughter as clear and pleasant as silver bells.

"If you could carry me up that stone wall, then I can take you out of here. I have never been weaker than you—not now, and not in the future. We're both smart people, so there's no need for cheap provocation."

Bi Zihan looked at Qian Renxue, shook his head with a smile, and said nothing more. Yet the longsword in his hand slashed mercilessly toward the giant snakes and spiders.

A pale golden glow emerged from Qian Renxue's body as the Angel Domain spread outward. Within only a few blinks, the domain had covered the entire surrounding area.

Their overall strength instantly increased by roughly ten percent. Meanwhile, within the domain, the giant snakes and spiders were suppressed, and even their movements became severely restricted.

Bi Zihan no longer held back. The necklace around his neck released a pale blue radiance that spread across a radius of one hundred meters. Within that pale blue glow, both Bi Zihan's and Qian Renxue's strength increased tenfold in an instant.

The sudden increase left Qian Renxue somewhat surprised, but she merely thought to herself, So you really did hold back back then.

The longswords in their hands seemed to have become the Grim Reaper's scythes. With every strike, a life was bound to fall to the ground. The roars of giant snakes and spiders rang out continuously, while blood sprayed through the air, only further rousing their ferocity as they charged at the two without pause.

Time gradually passed, and something astonishing appeared before Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue. The giant snakes and spiders that had been relentlessly attacking them had actually begun devouring one another. With each one they consumed, their bodies gradually grew larger.

Some of the giant snakes and spiders also remained behind to keep the two entangled, preventing them from leaving. Gradually, wounds appeared on their bodies, blood flowing from them and staining their robes red.

"You can still leave now. If you wait any longer, it may truly be too late," Bi Zihan said softly to Qian Renxue as he pulled Doomsday Judgment from a giant snake's body.

"I already said that I can take you out of here. We just need to kill all these giant snakes and spiders." Qian Renxue swung the Sword of Angels with all her strength, severing a sharp spider leg before her.

"Forget it. I'd better take you out. I've never had a habit of being led out by someone else." Bi Zihan smiled, and the speed at which he wielded Doomsday Judgment increased by another thirty percent.

"You're all talk, forcing yourself to hold on. Let's see just how long you can keep it up." Qian Renxue glanced at Bi Zihan, paying no heed to his words.

The giant snakes and spiders around them were rapidly decreasing at a visible rate, but not because Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue had killed them. Rather, they were devouring one another.

Then, the giant snakes and spiders attacking Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue were drawn away by an invisible force. In the end, two enormous creatures appeared before them.

One was a giant snake dozens of meters long, its scarlet eyes fixed viciously upon Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue. The other was a spider roughly ten meters in size. Its long legs resembled spears, glinting with a sharp, icy light, while dark green venom dripped from its body.

As Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue looked at the two enormous creatures before them, solemnity appeared in both their eyes. These creatures were not merely huge—the auras emanating from them were also immensely powerful.

The two exchanged a glance without speaking, then charged toward one of the enormous creatures at the same time. Perhaps because the gap in strength was simply too great, Bi Zihan had barely reached the giant spider before one of its sharp legs sent him flying back. Qian Renxue was sent back at the same time.

The hands gripping their swords trembled uncontrollably, blood flowing from their palms and dripping through the gaps between their fingers onto the ground.

"Perhaps we really might end up staying here," Qian Renxue said with a low laugh, her voice carrying a trace of ease.

"Not necessarily. Leave first, and then we won't both be stuck here." Bi Zihan shook his slightly numb hand. That casual blow alone had made it clear that the gap between them was like a heavenly chasm. There was simply no chance of winning.

"Leave? We don't even know where this place is. What if what was written on the stone tablet was false? And in this situation, who do you think can get out alone? Rather than gambling on such illusory luck, we might as well fight with everything we have!" Determination filled Qian Renxue's eyes. Even if they wanted to flee now, their speed could not surpass those two enormous creatures. Fighting desperately might at least win them a sliver of hope for survival.

"Then let's fight and see just how strong these two creatures really are." Cold killing intent appeared in Bi Zihan's eyes as Doomsday Judgment pointed directly at the spider ahead.

The two charged at the enormous creatures once again, choosing their targets and slashing directly at them. Yet their swords could not even cut through the giant snake's scales or the spider's sharp legs.

Their bodies were sent flying once more, while the giant snake's tail and the spider's sharp legs shot toward them at extreme speed.

The snake's tail carried overwhelming force, while the long legs radiated boundless sharpness. If those attacks struck their bodies directly, even if they survived, their injuries would be enough to leave them unable to fight.

Just as the attacks were about to land on them, golden and black light suddenly burst from their bodies. Two low chants that seemed to come from ancient times rang out amid the golden and black radiance.

"Light Unceasing, darkness eternal. I am light, and I am darkness."

Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue's bodies, martial souls, and soul rings actually fused together within the intense light. Two dazzling beams shot straight into the sky. The golden light seemed intent on illuminating the entire heavens, while the black light seemed ready to dye the entire sky black.

Within the dazzling radiance, an angel with Twelve-Winged wings appeared in midair, holding the Sword of Angels and Doomsday Judgment. Yet this angel looked different from both Qian Renxue's and Bi Zihan's martial souls.

Her wings on the left were pure black, while those on the right were immaculate white. As her wings fluttered, six utterly opposing auras spread forth: light, darkness, holiness, evil, nobility, and sin.
