Mercy toward soul beasts is cruelty toward your own future! Top-tier soul beast: Night Blade Mantis!

Hearing this, the others felt it made some sense, though they remained half-convinced. After all, when Hu Bai had been with them before, he had produced a Ten Thousand Year Three-Eyed Demon Fox Vertical Pupil External Soul Bone and a Light Unicorn Light Wing External Soul Bone!

However, the Three-Eyed Demon Fox before them had a higher cultivation, and they had killed it in an almost torturous manner. The odds of it producing a Soul Bone were indeed much greater.

Looking at the seventy-thousand-year Spirit Head Bone in Hu Leyao's hand, even Ju Hua Guan and the other two Titled Douluo were filled with envy. Dugu Bo was somewhat better off, since the Medusa Head Bone on him was not low in age either.

"Alright, hurry up and rest now. Recover some Soul Power. There's no rush to absorb the Soul Ring produced by this Three-Eyed Demon Fox—it won't disappear for another two hours. Now, only Xie Tian's Eighth Soul Ring remains."

Yue Guan and Ling Yuan spoke after driving back the Fifty Thousand Year Man Faced Demon Spider Emperor and Mandala Snake King on the outskirts.

However, these two Fifty Thousand Year Soul Beasts were also brimming with ferocity. Facing the attacks of two Titled Douluo, they showed no intention of retreating, seemingly obsessed only with the Aromatic Silk Beauty. On the other hand, the Ten Thousand Years Cave Spider had been severely injured by a single strike and had already fled.

Xie Tian and Hu Leyao did not hesitate any longer. They immediately sat cross-legged and began recovering the Soul Power within their bodies. To ensure nothing went wrong just now, they had even used two Soul Bones.

In the Bewitching State, it was theoretically impossible to use one's own Soul Skills. After all, Demon Charm itself was a skill, and while that skill was active, other Soul Skills could not be used.

It was like when Yue Guan and Gui Mei used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Two Extremes Stillness Domain. They could not use other Soul Skills either.

Even though Demon Charm, this Martial Soul Fusion Skill, was rather special, it could not escape this limitation.

But Xie Tian and Hu Leyao were not above exploiting loopholes. Before merging into Demon Charm, Xie Yue could activate Soul Skills in advance to grant Attribute Amplification to his Dragon Patterned Moon Blade, and that amplification remained effective after the fusion!

Xie Tian's Soul Rings had all been focused on amplification Soul Skills for this very reason, which was why he possessed the Self-Created Soul Skills Full Moon and Moon Kill!

Of course, he had several other smaller Self-Created Soul Skills, but their power was weaker. Full Moon and Moon Kill were the strongest, with Moon Kill being the greatest of them all!

However, after discussing it, they decided that his Eighth Soul Ring would not be an amplification Soul Skill. Instead, it would primarily be an ordinary active attack Soul Skill, with amplification as a secondary effect.

After all, when the Soul Ring Ages of his first six rings had been low, amplification Soul Skills had been the most cost-effective and could continue to be useful later. But if his Eighth Soul Skill were an active offensive Soul Skill, its power would definitely be enormous!

They also had to consider that when Xie Tian and Hu Leyao were not together and he faced powerful Soul Masters, relying solely on his Self-Created Soul Skills might not be enough. He did not lack attack power; what he lacked now was speed and means of group attacks.

Therefore, this time, he set his sights on Flying Bird Type Soul Beasts that specialized in speed. If none could be found, he could only consider the Man Faced Demon Spider Emperor and Mandala Snake King before them.

For a Moon Blade Martial Soul, the Soul Beast's attribute was not particularly important. Metal Type Tool Martial Souls placed greater importance on the Soul Beast's various combat traits—Attribute Strong Attack or Attribute Agile Attack.

These two Fifty Thousand Year Soul Beasts were not slow. They were highly agile and had sufficient attack power as well. Whether the Soul Skill gained after absorption would be a group attack or a powerful single-target attack would depend on luck.

Yue Guan retreated to Hu Bai's side and frowned. "What should we do? These two Soul Beasts refuse to leave. Should we choose one of them for your Father's Eighth Soul Ring, or wait a little longer?"

Hu Bai said, "Let's wait a little longer. My parents should recover their Soul Power in less than Half an Hour. Other Soul Beasts may come during that time. As for these two, if they still refuse to leave by then, kill them. Soul Beasts over fifty thousand years old might even produce a Soul Bone if we're lucky."

Hu Bai looked at the two Soul Beasts before him, his heart without much fluctuation.

Soul Beasts, like humans, could be divided into good and evil. By the habits of these two Soul Beasts, they happened to fall within the category of evil.

But Hu Bai would not glorify himself like Tang San. Soul Masters and Soul Beasts had always been two opposing camps. Unlike other Transmigrators, he did not have a system. If he showed mercy to Soul Beasts, wouldn't that be cruelty toward his own future and life?

As the saying went, everyone struggled to live. On this road, there was no right or wrong, only strength and weakness. The weaker side had to be prepared to become someone else's stepping stone.

Thus, the two sides remained deadlocked for more than twenty minutes. Suddenly, Ling Yuan, who was scouting overhead, shouted a warning, "A mantis-type Soul Beast is approaching! It's extremely fast—be careful!"

The instant Ling Yuan finished speaking, that mantis-type Soul Beast used its speed and innate skill to break through Dugu Bo's poison mist in an instant and arrive before them!

Dugu Bo:

The mantis was silver-black all over, its forelimbs like Giant Sickles. Silver Light glimmered along the blade edges, and upon closer inspection, faint Space Rifts could be seen flowing around them.

"What Soul Beast is this? It actually broke through Old Poison's Poison Array so easily?" Yue Guan watched the Soul Beast before him vigilantly, stepping forward to shield Hu Bai, Xie Tian, and Hu Leyao behind him.

Hu Bai looked at the Soul Beast before him and thought for a moment. Then, he immediately said excitedly to the others, "Uncle Yue, Sister Ling, Senior Dugu Bo, you must keep this Soul Beast here! It's a Night Blade Mantis with a cultivation of around seventy thousand years. Both its speed and attack power are extremely suitable for my Father!"

"Normally, this type of Soul Beast only emerges to hunt around the night of the Full Moon. It was probably drawn out by the Flower Fragrance of the Aromatic Silk Beauty. We're really lucky!"

"The reason this Night Blade Mantis could break through the Poison Array so easily should be related to its Innate Soul Skill, Void Slash. This Innate Soul Skill is said to ignore defenses and possesses some ability to cut through space. Its speed is also incredibly fast, so we must be careful!" Hu Bai's voice was filled with excitement, and his body even trembled slightly.

At this moment, the Soul Power within Xie Tian and Hu Leyao had also recovered to more than ninety percent. They stood up and looked at the mantis before them.

"Good, then this is the Soul Beast we'll use! Little Fellow, it seems the knowledge you learned at Spirit Hall these days wasn't wasted. If we hadn't known this Soul Beast's traits, we might have underestimated it and carelessly let it escape. But now? Not a chance!" Yue Guan gave a sinister smile, the corners of his mouth lifting.
