Heavenly Curse Seal, Final Form!

"People from Spirit Hall really are no good!"

Tang Jiu cursed, then summoned his Martial Soul. The Bullet Ant Spirit possessed him, and a dazzling Purple Soul Ring lit up.

Qian Renxue gritted her silver teeth. "You slandered the Pope of Spirit Hall, and you still have the nerve to accuse us!"

She had never seen anyone so shameless.

Tang Jiu's gaze turned cold. "I was hunting a soul beast, and you came to steal it. Does that make you right? Does that make you respectable?"

Qian Renxue was a girl, after all, and had not yet been poisoned by Qian Daoliu's Spirit Hall supremacist ideology. Hearing Tang Jiu's words, her conscience was stung.

That was right. He had been peacefully hunting a soul beast, while they had come to take it from him!

Qian Renxue's silence did not mean the others would remain silent.

"Spirit Hall is reason! Whoever has the bigger fist is reason!"

Several Soul Masters shouted coldly and summoned their Martial Souls.

"Level 51 Agile Attack Type Battle Soul King, Martial Soul: Wind Eagle! Soul Rings: Two Yellow Two Purple, one black."

"Level 53 Assault Type Battle Soul King, Martial Soul: Fire Tiger! Soul Rings: Two Yellow Two Purple, one black."

"Level 52 Control Type Battle Soul King, Martial Soul: Ice Bird! Soul Rings: Two Yellow Two Purple, one black."

"Level 54 Support Type Tool Soul King, Martial Soul: Treasure Pagoda! Soul Rings: Two Yellow Two Purple, one black."

"Level 56 Support Type Tool Soul King, Martial Soul: Healing Scepter! Soul Rings: Two Yellow Two Purple, one black."

Dazzling light flared instantly as all five Soul Masters summoned their Martial Souls. The sight was quite shocking. They were not particularly surprised by Tang Jiu's Purple Soul Ring, since their Saintess had come to acquire a ten-thousand-year First Ring.

They had already been stunned by Qian Renxue's talent. Looking at Tang Jiu now, they all curled their lips arrogantly, secretly sneering, It's only a Thousand-Year First Ring!

And he dared call himself a genius! Their Saintess had a ten-thousand-year First Ring!

"Kid, if you had only spoken disrespectfully of His Majesty the Pope, perhaps we might have spared your life. But now, we can only kill you ourselves. Crushing a genius is one of life's great pleasures!"

The five Soul Masters' eyes gleamed as they charged toward Tang Jiu. They wanted to display their abilities and loyalty to Spirit Hall before the current Saintess and future Pope, Qian Renxue. Those who offended Spirit Hall would be executed, no matter how far away they were!

Among the five Soul Masters, aside from the female healing-type Soul Master, the other four male Soul Masters were already competing for credit.

"First Spirit Skill, Ice Seal!"

The Ice Bird Spirit Master immediately unleashed his Lock-on Spirit Skill. Pale-blue ice instantly condensed around Tang Jiu, freezing his entire body within it.

The others froze for a moment, then cursed angrily. "What trash! He was shouting so arrogantly just now, yet he got instantly defeated by one Spirit Skill!"

"After all, it was an attack from a Soul King. Even a First Spirit Skill isn't something a one-ring Soul Master can withstand!"

"Lock-on instant-cast skills are ridiculously overpowered!"

The group turned back bitterly to look at the smug Ice Bird Spirit Master.

"This wild brat is mine!" The Ice Bird Spirit Master laughed loudly and stepped forward, preparing to finish Tang Jiu with another skill.

"Something's wrong!" Qian Renxue suddenly frowned.

"Young Master, is there a problem?" The others were all startled and looked toward Qian Renxue.

"He shouldn't be this weak!"

"Young Master, you think too highly of this wild brat. Under my Ice Seal skill, Soul Masters below level thirty cannot possibly break free! As long as I shatter the ice, I can turn him into icy scraps as well!"

The Ice Bird Spirit Master did not care, activating his Second Spirit Skill.

"Ice Blade Slash!"

An icy blade slashed toward Tang Jiu, who had been frozen into a block of ice. Using the impact, it would shatter the ice block. This was his combination skill.

At that moment, cracking sounds rang from the ice. Tang Jiu extended a hand from within and crushed the incoming Ice Blade Slash with a single grip.

"What? How is that possible?!"

The Soul Masters were stunned. Catching an ice blade barehanded—how powerful did his body have to be? Then, they saw the most unbelievable sight.

Tang Jiu's Bullet Ant Spirit rapidly changed, transforming into the Evil Ring Devouring Heaven Ant!

"What is this? How can those Soul Rings be possible?!" Everyone's jaws dropped, especially when they saw the Three-Colored Spirit Ring on Tang Jiu's body.

"Twin Martial Souls... Could this be a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" A trace of horror flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes. Twin Martial Souls producing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill existed only in theory!

The one who had proposed that theory was Master!

But Tang Jiu's transformation did not stop. He bared his teeth in a grin. "Today, I'll show you the strongest Martial Soul in this world!"

"Special Soul Fusion Skill, Heavenly Curse Seal, Final Form, activate!"

The blood-red comma on the Evil Ring Devouring Heaven Ant's forehead, Third Brother, instantly burned across Tang Jiu's body like crimson clouds. The Curse Seal's second form activated.

Tang Jiu's aura began to surge wildly. His Soul Power directly rose to �th level, surging to �th level.

But this was only the beginning. The spear-like ant legs on his back merged with the Bullet Ant's wings, becoming sinister black flesh wings like those of a bat.

Tang Jiu's hair changed from black to silver, making him appear especially terrifying. When he opened his mouth, two long fangs were revealed.

Tang Jiu felt that at this moment, he was the ruler of all flesh-and-blood life!

"What kind of monster is this?" The Soul Masters all felt their scalps go numb.

"Now, the countdown to death begins! Sixty!"

Tang Jiu lightly snapped his fingers. "First Spirit Fusion Skill, Speed Deprivation!"

The Three-Colored Spirit Ring shone as evil power spread through Tang Jiu's body. With a gentle flap of his black bat wings, he became an afterimage and charged at them.

"First Spirit Skill, Ice Seal!"

"Third Spirit Skill, Ice Armor!"

"Fifth Spirit Skill, Blizzard!"

The Ice Bird Spirit Master did not dare be careless. Looking at Tang Jiu now sent chills through him. Those long fangs—were they meant to suck human blood?!

He directly unleashed three skills. Ice Seal locked onto Tang Jiu, Ice Armor bolstered everyone's defense, and Blizzard summoned an icy area that reduced speed. Ice crystals immediately drifted down from the sky. When they landed on someone, they condensed into a layer of ice, and even the ground had frozen over.

"First Spirit Skill, Speed!"

"Fourth Spirit Skill, Defense!"

The Treasure Pagoda Spirit Master also hurriedly supported everyone, increasing their speed and defense.

But it was all futile. The instant the lock-on, instant-cast Ice Seal froze Tang Jiu, it was shattered. Tang Jiu's speed was incredibly swift as he flew toward the Ice Bird Spirit Master. Because he had greedily rushed forward for credit and stood at the very front of the group, he was the first to suffer Tang Jiu's attack.

"Freeze! Freeze! Freeze again!"

The Ice Bird Spirit Master could only use Ice Seal to stall for time, but Tang Jiu's strength was too terrifying. With the slightest tremor, the ice shattered.

"Fifty-eight!"

Tang Jiu coldly spat out the number and viciously drove a claw through the Ice Bird Spirit Master's heart.

Then he violently flung him away and charged toward the Agility System Soul Master without looking back. Tang Jiu had deliberately thrown him toward the Azure Carved Demon Statue, because he had seen the healing-type Soul Master already waving her Healing Scepter.

"Light of Healing!"

Milky-white light shone upon the Ice Bird Spirit Master. Even though his heart had been pierced, he would not die in time. With another round of healing, he might even be able to rejoin the battle.

At that moment, the Azure Carved Demon Statue reached out. Leaving someone with critical health alive would be an insult to itself. Its hands clapped together like swatting a fly.

First blood! The first kill was claimed.
