Battle Against Soul Elder Qian Renxue, Tricks Galore!

Feeling the almost tangible gaze above his head,

Lin Du struggled to raise his head from the narrow gap.

"Actually, I can explain."

He forced an awkward smile onto his face,

but all he received was Qian Renxue's increasingly icy stare.

"Explain?"

"Fine."

"But—"

"I want to beat you flat first, then listen to your explanation properly!"

As Qian Renxue's words fell,

three Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, purple—appeared around her,

rising and falling rhythmically.

At the same time,

three pairs of white wings and the Six-Winged Angel Phantom appeared behind Qian Renxue,

lending her an added touch of holiness!

From the corner of his eye, Lin Du saw the lowest Hundred Year Spirit Ring suddenly flare with yellow light.

There was no need to hesitate.

His body reacted on instinct.

The Wind Spirit Boots on his feet flashed with cyan light.

In an instant, he broke free from Qian Renxue's embrace.

At almost the same moment,

Qian Renxue's soft fist, wrapped in a Golden Shield, barely grazed past Lin Du's face.

"Damn!"

"You're seriously doing this?!"

Riding the breeze, Lin Du patted his chest as if still shaken.

His face carried a trace of lingering fear.

"What do you mean, seriously or not?"

"Right now, all I want is to beat you, you hateful bastard, into the ground!"

"First Soul Skill—"

"Angel Assault!"

With Qian Renxue's low shout,

her Hundred Year Spirit Ring lit up once more.

The next second,

Qian Renxue turned into a streak of light, crossing several meters to appear before Lin Du.

Her golden-glowing fist once again struck toward his face.

"Can you at least be reasonable?"

"You were the one who held me in your arms."

"If I hadn't absorbed the Icefire Wolf Spirit Bone last night,"

"Who knew how I was supposed to suppress that Evil Fire in your body?"

"How about we each take a step back?"

"Can we just let this matter go?"

Lin Du leaned his body to the right,

dodging Qian Renxue's attack once again.

"I don't want to be reasonable."

"I only want to beat you!"

With Lin Du bringing up what had just happened again,

Qian Renxue's gaze grew even colder.

As she clenched her silver teeth,

the second and first Spirit Rings lit up in succession.

"Second Soul Skill—"

"Angel Holy Light!"

"First Soul Skill—"

"Angel Assault!"

Golden light blossomed from Qian Renxue's body and spread outward.

Caught off guard, Lin Du was swept by the golden radiance.

A surge of Soul Power froze his entire body in place.

He could not move in the slightest.

At the same time,

Qian Renxue transformed into a streak of light again and charged at Lin Du.

Her target was his head.

"Ten Thousand Scale Inner Armor!"

At the critical moment,

Lin Du activated the Ten Thousand Scale Inner Armor Soul Tool on his body.

Azure light bloomed.

Nail-sized scales flew out one after another,

forming a sphere that enveloped Lin Du completely.

Lin Du only saw the scales before him rise in wave-like surges,

easily deflecting the attack of Qian Renxue's First Soul Skill.

"Looks like unless I fight you,"

"you won't let this go."

"In that case—"

"Lion King Fist!"

Seeing that Qian Renxue refused to relent,

Lin Du no longer focused solely on defense.

With a low shout,

blazing white light bloomed around his right arm.

Accompanied by a soul-shaking Lion's Roar,

a cyan lion head condensed from Soul Power flew from Lin Du's fist,

hurtling toward Qian Renxue.

"Angel Assault!"

Qian Renxue neither dodged nor retreated.

She raised her golden-glowing right fist to meet it head-on.

In an instant, her fist collided with the lion head.

Golden Soul Power and blazing white Soul Power scattered in every direction.

In the end, both dissipated.

"Thousand Miles of Ice!"

This time, Lin Du extended his left hand.

Ice-blue light flickered.

Ice crystals like bullets surged from his palm,

carrying terrifyingly low temperatures.

In an instant, they froze everything in their path,

leaving behind a trail of ice crystals.

Under the sunlight,

it gleamed with the radiance of ice crystals.

Sensing the terrifying cold contained within the ice crystals,

Qian Renxue's sole purple Spirit Ring finally bloomed with its noble light.

"Third Soul Skill—"

"Angel Guardian!"

With Qian Renxue's low shout,

the Six-Winged Angel Phantom behind her bent down and wrapped Qian Renxue completely in its embrace.

At the same time,

the three pairs of wings emitting golden holy light crossed before her.

The next second,

solid ice carrying terrifying cold crashed against the Angel wings transformed into a feather shield.

The three pairs of wings were frozen by the ice crystals at an astonishing speed.

It seemed Lin Du had gained the upper hand,

yet no ease appeared on his face.

That was because he could sense it.

The Feather shield shimmering with golden holy light was still brimming with Soul Power.

Clearly, his attack had not inflicted any effective damage on Qian Renxue!

Even though he had used a skill attached to a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone,

while Qian Renxue had only used a Spirit Ring left behind by a Thousand Year Spirit Beast,

his own Soul Power was only at level twenty.

As for Qian Renxue,

although she had only three Spirit Rings,

judging by the abundance of Soul Power within her,

after consuming the Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, she was likely already a level-forty Soul Elder.

As long as she obtained her Fourth Soul Ring,

she could step directly into the Soul Ancestor realm.

In other words,

there was a full twenty-level gap in Soul Power between Lin Du and Qian Renxue.

Being able to fight Qian Renxue to a standstill

was already an exceptional performance.

However, Lin Du himself knew,

that if he did not pull off something big to make Qian Renxue calm down,

this battle still would not end.

Unfortunately, the only thing Lin Du had that could effectively injure Qian Renxue

was the Bone-Piercing Crossbow Soul Tool Light Plume Douluo had given him.

But he could not possibly use it against Qian Renxue.

For a moment,

a troubled expression appeared on his face as well.

Suddenly,

Lin Du caught sight, from the corner of his eye, of the glass cup on the table that had already frozen into ice crystals.

Abruptly,

physics knowledge from his previous life flooded into his mind.

"Thermal expansion and contraction?!"

"I've got it!"

"Wildfire Spreads!"

With another low shout from Lin Du,

his left arm emitting ice-blue light suddenly turned crimson red.

The ice crystals erupting from his palm transformed into blazing flames in an instant,

stretching for several meters.

Like a Fire Dragon, they slammed viciously into the already frozen Feather shield!

Qian Renxue, perfectly protected by the Feather shield, had just thought Lin Du had given up resisting.

Then she suddenly heard his low shout.

The next second,

the bone-piercing cold was replaced by an explosive burning sensation.

"A Fire Attribute attack?!"

"Could the Icefire Wolf Spirit Bone Lin Du absorbed really have granted him two Soul Skills?"

"What a lucky bastard."

Amazed by Lin Du's luck,

Qian Renxue's face showed a hint of surprise,

but at that moment,

a strange crack reached Qian Renxue's ears.

"What was that?"

Qian Renxue's gaze was instantly drawn to it,

a faint, barely visible crack suddenly appeared on the feather shield before her,

just as Qian Renxue was taken aback,

a series of crisp cracking sounds rang out one after another,

dense cracks spread across the feather shield before her, cloaked in Holy Light,

the next second,

the feather shield exploded with a bang,

scattered feathers fluttered everywhere,

as though a golden rain had fallen inside the room.
