Third Spirit Skill, Instant Kill

The Heavenly Slash Sword vanished, replaced by the Peerless Sword Casket, accompanied by one yellow and one purple Spirit Ring.

Watching Ji Wushuang rise into the air, Bibi Dong followed behind him uneasily.

The incident had happened too suddenly.

The Lightning Leopard possessed the ability to teleport, making it far more troublesome than ordinary Spirit Beasts.

If anything went wrong...

She neither wanted Ji Wushuang to come to harm because of this nor wanted the Lightning Leopard to escape.

"Cloud Shuttle, Qingshuang, Jade Ruyi, Finger-Twisting Softness!"

"Absolute Shadow, Red Leaf, Wind Howl, Life Slayer!"

All eight flying swords shot out from the Peerless Sword Casket. Sword qi crisscrossed through the air, creating a terrifying sight.

Each flying sword possessed its own distinct traits and advantages, and every combination formed a different Sword Formation. Other Sword Formations required multiple people and multiple swords, but for Ji Wushuang, who wielded the Sword Control Technique, one person alone could form a Sword Formation.

Moreover, the Sword Formation formed by these eight flying swords had a full forty thousand three hundred and twenty variations, making it impossible to guard against.

However, against someone with absolute strength like Bibi Dong, unless Ji Wushuang's cultivation matched hers, no number of changes in the Sword Formation would be of any use.

"I'd like to see how many more times you can teleport!"

Ji Wushuang was not worried in the slightest as the Lightning Leopard repeatedly used teleportation to evade the flying swords. He calmly waved his fingers, controlling the flying swords as they attacked.

Standing atop the Peerless Sword Casket in the sky, he controlled the flying swords to launch long-range attacks. Against a Spirit Beast like the Lightning Leopard that could not fly, he held an absolute advantage.

Wherever the Lightning Leopard ran, he swiftly followed.

Aside from teleportation, the Lightning Leopard could also unleash lightning attacks. But it was already too occupied to focus on attacking, and every strike was easily dodged by Ji Wushuang, unable to inflict even the slightest damage.

Bibi Dong watched from nearby, her hands behind her back. Her toes rested lightly on a green leaf, yet she remained perfectly steady, unmoved as a mountain.

"When did that brat learn Sword Formations? He's never even used one in front of me!" Bibi Dong muttered.

Ji Wushuang heard her clearly and inwardly cried out in alarm.

"First Soul Skill, Attack!"

"Second Spirit Skill, Thunder God Transformation!"

After consecutively unleashing two Spirit Skills, the speed of all eight flying swords more than doubled, while their attack power rose by one hundred and thirty percent under the enhancement of the two skills.

A casual strike from a flying sword could slice through iron as though it were mud.

The Lightning Leopard's sense of danger exploded. Looking at Ji Wushuang standing proudly in the sky, it no longer had any desire to fight and only wanted to flee.

Unfortunately, Ji Wushuang gave it no opportunity, and Bibi Dong's presence at the side further intimidated it.

The Lightning Leopard had truly reached the end of the road.

While its teleportation ability was absurdly powerful, the consumption it brought was equally immense.

After teleporting repeatedly, the Lightning Leopard's movements gradually slowed.

How could Ji Wushuang let such a perfect opportunity pass?

Whoosh—

The eight swords attacked simultaneously from eight directions, yet they coordinated with one another perfectly.

Splat!

The instant all eight swords pierced the Lightning Leopard's body, a shrill wail rang from its mouth.

Ji Wushuang flicked his sleeve.

Absolute Shadow tore through the air, bringing a string of sonic booms as it pierced through the Lightning Leopard's throat.

Boom— The Lightning Leopard collapsed in the blink of an eye. Blood quickly dyed the ground red, and the nine bloody holes on its body were a horrifying sight.

Ji Wushuang slapped the Peerless Sword Casket. The eight swords flew back in unison and entered the casket, which then closed and vanished together with the two Spirit Rings.

A blue-white glow emerged from the Lightning Leopard's corpse, eventually converging into a single point and forming a purple Spirit Ring.

Bibi Dong, who had witnessed the entire process, furrowed her delicate brows and thought to herself, Everything has gone too smoothly. This won't do. Wushuang must learn to sense danger and suffer a little hardship.

Ever since Ji Wushuang had taken her as his master, everything had gone far too smoothly.

Bibi Dong felt that if things continued like this, it would not benefit Ji Wushuang's growth.

In another five or six years, I'll send Wushuang to Misty Trail Grand Canyon for some training. That place should allow his state of mind to mature quickly.

Ji Wushuang had already begun absorbing the Lightning Leopard's Spirit Ring. With Bibi Dong here, there was naturally no need to worry about anyone disturbing him. At the same time, he was quite confident in handling this five-thousand-five-hundred-year Spirit Ring.

Two hours later.

After the Lightning Leopard's Spirit Ring had completely merged into Ji Wushuang's body, he opened his eyes. One yellow and two purple Spirit Rings appeared in succession, and the fluctuations of level thirty-two Soul Power spread outward.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong placed a hand on Ji Wushuang's shoulder and carefully examined him before nodding in satisfaction.

"Wushuang, what is your Spirit Skill?"

"Did you inherit the Lightning Leopard's teleportation ability?"

At her words, a smile appeared on Ji Wushuang's handsome face. He then summoned the Peerless Sword Casket. Cloud Shuttle streaked out from it, only to vanish in midair. When it reappeared, it had already severed a large tree ten meters ahead before instantly returning to its casket.

Its speed was beyond description.

"Teacher, this is my Third Spirit Skill. I named it Instant Kill!"

"Besides allowing my sword to teleport, I can teleport myself as well. The distance is limited, though—only ten meters!"

"But as my cultivation improves in the future, this spirit skill will grow stronger too, and the teleportation distance will increase!"

Ji Wushuang explained in a deep voice.

Bibi Dong smiled reassuringly. "Don't be dissatisfied. Ten meters is already very good. Some people's Teleportation Skills can only move them three or five meters, and that is already remarkable."

The corners of Ji Wushuang's lips rose slightly.

Bibi Dong said, "You performed with ease this time. Precisely because of that, you need more tempering. You must not slack off, understand?"

Ji Wushuang replied, "This disciple will remember."

"By the way, that Sword Formation you used against the Lightning Leopard just now—why have I never seen you use it before?" Bibi Dong narrowed her beautiful eyes.

She had not forgotten the most important matter.

Bibi Dong deliberately put on a grave expression. "Wushuang, I believe I have treated you well. Why did you hide this from me?"

Ji Wushuang broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly explained, "Teacher, please do not misunderstand. My Sword Formation only looks impressive. Against an unparalleled expert like you, Teacher, it would be completely useless and would only waste Soul Power. That is why this disciple has never used it. I merely wished to conserve Soul Power and use it where it mattered, so I could train with you for longer."

Seeing the sweat on Ji Wushuang's nervous forehead, Bibi Dong burst into laughter. "All right, look how frightened you are. Am I really that scary?"

Though she was the Pope and a Titled Douluo, before Ji Wushuang, she had always maintained the bearing of a teacher.

Ji Wushuang scratched his head and smiled. "Teacher is as beautiful as an immortal. How could the word 'scary' possibly describe you?"

While inwardly pleased, Bibi Dong's pretty face turned serious. "Do not speak to other women like that in the future. It will bring you a great deal of trouble."

"Uh... yes."

"Return to Spirit City!"

"Yes!"
