Dai Zhirou's Second Martial Soul
Dai Zhirou's expression changed again and again. She understood that there was no point in keeping up the act.
To prevent herself from being unable to react in time if they launched a surprise attack,
she directly released her Martial Soul and entered Martial Soul Possession.
By doing so, she was also telling the people in the shadows, I've already discovered you.
Sure enough, Zhang Dong, Nancheng, and Xifeng paused slightly.
But they immediately began closing in again.
This time, however, they no longer bothered to hide.
Two yellow and two purple soul rings rose from Zhang Dong's body.
Nancheng and Xifeng possessed the same Martial Soul as Zhang Dong: the Earth Wolf Dog.
Their soul rings were somewhat different, though.
They each had one white, two yellow, and one purple soul ring.
Though all three were four-ring Soul Ancestors, there was quite a gap between their soul rings and soul skills.
Thus, the two of them understood their role. They would charge in front and draw Dai Zhirou's attention, allowing the strongest among them, Zhang Dong, to seize the opportunity and deliver the most powerful strike, taking her down in one go.
"Humph!"
Dai Zhirou snorted. Then, two yellow, two purple, and one black soul ring rose from her body, and her third soul ring immediately lit up.
At the sight, Nancheng and Xifeng also lit up their soul rings.
"Third Soul Ring Skill—Rend!"
Nancheng transformed into a swift blur and charged toward Dai Zhirou at high speed, his hands already having turned into wolf claws.
The sharp claws on them were like daggers.
If those claws struck, they would likely leave behind five fatal wounds.
"Fourth Soul Ring Skill—Shadow of Gale!"
Xifeng transformed into a whirlwind, circling around Dai Zhirou as he rushed toward Taishi Ming.
Zhang Dong also revealed himself at this moment, though from a different position—directly behind Dai Zhirou.
Together with Nancheng and Xifeng, he formed a triangular assault formation.
"You're courting death!!!"
Seeing that Xifeng had actually targeted Taishi Ming, Dai Zhirou flew into a rage.
She immediately activated her soul skill. "Third Soul Skill—Spider Web Restraint!"
Three dark-purple spider webs shot out, flying respectively toward Zhang Dong, Nancheng, and Xifeng.
Zhang Dong, Nancheng, and Xifeng's expressions changed.
Each of the three webs Dai Zhirou had fired was shrouded in purple poison gas.
Forget being hit by them—even brushing against them would be a huge problem.
Zhang Dong made his move. His fourth soul ring lit up. "Fourth Soul Ring Skill—Wolf Annihilation!"
More than a dozen balls of energy shot from his mouth in an instant.
Their targets were the three webs Dai Zhirou had fired at them.
It had to be said that Zhang Dong's dozen or so energy balls traveled exceptionally fast. Though launched later, they arrived first, knocking down all three webs headed in different directions.
Yet none of the three saw the strange smile that appeared on Dai Zhirou's face.
The next moment, however, the fallen spider webs shattered into powder and finally turned into a cloud of green mist that continued toward the three of them.
"Fuck!"
Zhang Dong, Nancheng, and Xifeng all cursed.
They had never expected Dai Zhirou's soul skill to be so bizarre and troublesome.
What kind of soul skill could continue attacking in another form after being destroyed?
After the three quickly retreated to avoid the green poisonous mist, Nancheng shouted, and his second soul ring lit up. "Wolf Shadow Assault!"
He leaped into the air, then dove straight down from above toward Taishi Ming.
It was incredibly bizarre!
Xifeng moved as well. His first soul ring lit up. "First Soul Ring Skill—Fierce Canine Bite!"
His Martial Soul transformed into a massive dog crouched on all fours, biting toward Dai Zhirou's waist.
Zhang Dong's attack followed right after theirs.
His second soul ring lit up. "Second Soul Ring Skill—Canine Blade!"
His clawed right hand swung fiercely, sending a claw-shaped slash straight at Dai Zhirou's legs. But along that path, the first person it would strike was Taishi Ming, who sat between them.
This forced Dai Zhirou to stay put and take the attack head-on.
Naturally, Dai Zhirou saw through this. She leaped up, landing beside Taishi Ming, who was seated on the ground refining his soul ring, and stood close to him.
Then she actually withdrew her Human-faced Spider Martial Soul, transforming into a giant tiger with wings.
The long tail resembling a scorpion's tail split into three.
Each tail met the attacks of Zhang Dong, Nancheng, and Xifeng.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
It had to be said that Dai Zhirou was incredibly fierce in this state.
The first to be sent flying was Xifeng, who had transformed into a giant dog.
Then Zhang Dong's claw-shaped slash was shattered outright.
The unluckiest was Nancheng in the air. Unable to retract his attack or evade while airborne,
he was pierced straight through the heart.
"Pfft!"
Nancheng spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with shock and despair, but even more than that, confusion.
"Y-you... isn't your Martial Soul a Human-faced Spider? How did it become an old tiger with wings...?"
Before he could finish speaking, his head tilted to one side, and he breathed his last.
Yet his eyes remained wide open. Clearly, he had died with unresolved grievances.
"Nancheng!"
Seeing their companion die, Zhang Dong and Xifeng were overcome with grief. At the same time, fear of Dai Zhirou rose in their hearts.
They regretted it. They truly regretted it.
But there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Nor would Dai Zhirou spare them simply because they regretted their actions.
Dai Zhirou violently flicked her tail, hurling Nancheng's suspended body toward Zhang Dong.
Then, the three scorpion tails shot toward Xifeng like three long spears, flashing like lightning.
Xifeng's expression changed drastically, and his fourth soul ring lit up. "Fourth Soul Ring Skill—Canine King Golden Body Shield!"
A semicircular protective barrier instantly appeared, shielding him within it.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three consecutive strikes landed. The first two directly shattered Xifeng's protective barrier, while the third pierced through the already shattered shield and stabbed fiercely into Xifeng's abdomen.
"Ah!"
Xifeng screamed and staggered back ten meters, clutching his wound. Yet he still could not stop the blood from pouring out.
"Zhang Dong, run... I'm not getting away..."
But he received no response.
"Zhang Dong... Zhang Dong..."
He struggled to look toward Zhang Dong, only to see him holding Nancheng's corpse in his arms.
Clearly, he had caught it when Dai Zhirou threw Nancheng's body at him.
But blood continuously poured from Zhang Dong's mouth. His face was deathly pale, and his eyes were full of confusion and despair.
Forget running—he looked even more badly injured than Xifeng.
At this moment, Taishi Ming, who had been refining his soul ring, stood up from the ground. He dusted off his clothes and said softly, "Run? He can't run anymore."
That was right. He had awakened the moment Dai Zhirou threw Nancheng's corpse toward Zhang Dong.
How could he possibly let such an opportunity slip away?
