Third Soul Skill, Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Bone Skill
Xia Yang said modestly, "You know my personality; I'm not the kind of person who likes to show off."
"Yes, yes, I like your humble attitude, Brother Xia."
Tang Yuehua nodded repeatedly and said.
"Alright, I'll continue demonstrating my Soul Skill."
Xia Yang cleared his throat and said.
Third Soul Skill: Dark Demon Evil God Transformation!
As Xia Yang unleashed his third Soul Skill, his body rapidly expanded.
His limbs became muscular and powerful.
Xia Yang appeared to be a robust and powerful man.
This Soul Skill can provide Xia Yang with a comprehensive boost.
Second Soul Skill: Skeleton Bodyguard!
Because of the change in Xia Yang's Martial Soul form, his second Soul Skill also underwent a significant change.
Originally, Xia Yang's second Soul Skill could form a purple, tight-fitting armor on the surface of his body.
But now, it has become a shape with its ribs sticking out.
There, six enormous ribs and a black spine formed a suit of energy armor.
This rib-shaped armor protected Xia Yang and the surrounding space.
"Haha, here we go again! First Soul Skill, Icefire Roar Bullet!"
Xia Yang laughed loudly, feeling his whole body filled with power.
He got into position and threw a punch forward.
"Whoosh!"
A purple energy blast shot out from the fist at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, it struck a giant tree with a diameter of four or five meters.
"Bang! Crack!"
The energy blast instantly created a large hole in the tree trunk, and the giant tree snapped in two, falling towards the direction where Xia Yang and the others were standing.
"Careful!"
Tang Yuehua hurriedly reminded her.
"Hmph, so weak! Behold my power!"
Xia Yang shouted loudly.
"Soul Bone Skill: Evil God Bodyguard!"
In an instant, gray patterns crawled all over the surface of the Rib Cage Armor surrounding Xia Yang.
Soon, the entire armor transformed into a purple and gray color scheme.
As the gray lines spread, Xia Yang felt a significant increase in the defensive power of his second Soul Skill.
"Bang!"
The fallen giant tree crashed heavily onto the Rib Cage Armor.
However, not a single crack appeared on the surface of the armor.
Xia Yang and Tang Yuehua were completely unharmed inside.
"Amazing!"
Tang Yuehua said in surprise.
"That's not all!"
Xia Yang smiled mysteriously.
The giant tree that had come into contact with the Rib Cage Armor began to wither slowly, as if its life force had been drained.
At the same time, Xia Yang clearly felt a life force being transmitted into his body through his spine.
"I see. This move not only enhances defense but also absorbs the enemy's energy and even life force."
Xia Yang couldn't help but feel hopeful about his future.
Now that he has obtained the Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, his future is limitless.
"Hmph, Qian Xunji, Tang Xiao, I will definitely stand before you in the future."
Thinking of these two people, Xia Yang felt a surge of anger.
However, he quickly suppressed this emotion.
"And Bibi Dong, Yuehua, I want both of you."
Xia Yang reached out and made a grasping motion, as if trying to hold his future firmly in his hands.
"Brother Xia, what do we do now?"
Tang Yuehua asked.
"Should we go back and look for Senior Bai He?"
"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is dead, which means Senior Bai He Crane is probably alright."
Xia Yang thought of the Bai He that had traveled with him.
"Forget it, it's too dangerous."
After pondering for a moment, Tang Yuehua shook her head and said, "Let's leave first. Once we're outside, I'll send a message to the sect to handle this."
Although the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is dead, this does not mean that the Bai He is safe.
On the contrary, the possibility of something happening to the Bai He is greater.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger likely chose to sacrifice itself because it was caught up by four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Even if the Bai He manages to evade the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it may not be able to escape the pursuit of four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Therefore, Tang Yuehua believed that instead of going back to find Bai He, it would be safer to leave first and then notify the sect.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Xia Yang nodded in agreement.
The two began to head towards the edge of the forest.
As they walked, Xia Yang naturally put his arm around Tang Yuehua's waist, and his right hand unconsciously slid down.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Tang Yuehua gave a coquettish laugh and ran forward, feeling embarrassed.
"Haha, sorry!"
Xia Yang gave an awkward laugh.
In that instant, Tang Yuehua didn't notice that Xia Yang's pupils suddenly turned into vertical pupils like those of a wild beast.
However, this change only lasted for a moment before returning to normal.
"Oh dear, you've really ruined my life!"
"Why couldn't I control my hands? Maybe I was too excited."
Xia Yang patted his right hand and then chased after Tang Yuehua.
The two quickly left the Star Dou Great Forest.
Meanwhile, in Xia Yang's Sea of Consciousness, Xia Yang's Mental Body stood on the calm lake surface.
Suddenly, a black bead appeared beneath the Mental Body's feet.
After the bead appeared, a black phantom slowly condensed beneath the water's surface beneath Xia Yang's Mental Body.
Upon closer inspection, the dark figure appeared quite eerie.
Because this dark figure was half like a black tiger, and the other half resembled Xia Yang.
The shadowy figure appeared for only a moment before vanishing without a trace.
Xia Yang, however, was completely unaware of everything that was happening in his Sea of Consciousness.
Xia Yang and Tang Yuehua traveled for another whole day and finally emerged from the Star Dou Great Forest before Nightfall.
However, they were in a very remote location, with no village in front and no shop behind, and no sign of human habitation in the surrounding area.
As night fell, the two found a relatively flat clearing at the edge of the forest, lit a campfire, and decided to camp there and rest.
A gentle night breeze swept by; on one side lay a deep, dark forest, and on the other, an open field.
Xia Yang leaned against an old tree and gently embraced Tang Yuehua.
After a series of thrills and hardships, the peace we enjoy now seems all the more precious.
In the tranquil night, the two relaxed and soon felt drowsy.
Of course, they did not completely let their guard down.
After all, it's right next to a forest, so there's no guarantee that Spirit Beast won't appear at night.
Xia Yang had long since developed a habit of continuing to circulate her Soul Power slowly along the path of the Hunyuan Technique, even while resting.
At the same time, his second Soul Skill, "Skeleton Bodyguard," was kept in a minimal automatic activation state.
Thus, the scene before them was this: the two were resting in each other's arms by a campfire under a tree, while around them, an energy shield formed of purple ribs stood silently, isolating them from potential threats from the outside world.
Protected by this solid energy, the two drifted off to sleep peacefully.
Time slipped by unnoticed, and before we knew it, it was late at night.
