Rasengan VS Martial Soul Fusion Skill

Xie Xie held the weakened Gu Yue in his left arm, his right hand gently flicking the Light Dragon Blade. The blade's light swirled, pointing directly at the two opponents across from him.

Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi were covered in wounds, their soul power nearly exhausted; it seemed impossible for them to continue fighting, yet Xie Xie remained vigilant against them pulling a desperate move.

Even with their soul power bottomed out, there was still a possibility they could forcibly trigger a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Long Hengxu also stepped out, ready to terminate the match. In his view, the outcome was decided, and there was no point in continuing.

"We..."

Zhang Yangzi's gaze remained sharp, each word squeezed out from between his teeth:

"We have, not, yet, lost!"

Wang Jinxi frowned slightly, his tone laced with worry as he whispered, "Yangzi, we..."

Zhang Yangzi glared at him fiercely and barked, "I said, we haven't lost yet!"

As he spoke, he lunged behind Wang Jinxi, wrapping his arms around Wang Jinxi's waist from behind.

Wang Jinxi did not hesitate. A low dragon roar and a piercing eagle cry rang out across the arena simultaneously. Both of their bodies transformed into ink-black shadows, beginning a bizarre fusion.

Zhang Yangzi's body turned into a streak of black light, completely merging into Wang Jinxi's body to become a pair of enormous, pitch-black wings.

Wang Jinxi's physique expanded and grew wildly, a thick, massive tail erupting from behind him.

His face was covered by a cold bone dragon mask, his pupils ignited with ghostly blue soul fire, and his arms transformed directly into sharp, hideous Bone Dragon Claws.

Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Dark Bone Dragon King!

A flash of ghostly blue fire flickered in Wang Jinxi's pupils, and the next moment, cold killing intent locked firmly onto Xie Xie and Gu Yue.

"Roar--!!"

He tilted his head back and let out a deafening roar.

The bone dragon wings snapped open, the ghostly blue fire surged, and with the momentum of world-shattering destruction, he swung his massive Bone Dragon Claw, slamming it toward Xie Xie and Gu Yue.

The speed of the Dark Bone Dragon King was extreme. Xie Xie's heart tightened, his soul power surged within him, and he instinctively wanted to activate his martial soul to dodge.

But at that critical moment, that same sense of stagnation from before struck again without warning.

His limbs felt as if they were bound by invisible chains; he lost all control over his body, and even his martial soul could not be activated.

Xie Xie glanced at Gu Yue in his arms.

Gu Yue's face remained pale.

After all, she was only a one-ring soul master; the soul power she had exhausted to unleash the Ice and Snow Storm could not be recovered in such a short time.

Seeing that terrifying blow capable of crushing everything about to descend, a flash of inspiration struck Xie Xie.

Without a moment's hesitation, he poured all the remaining soul power in his body into his palm without reservation. The pale golden soul power rotated at high speed, compressing continuously.

A Rasengan wrapped in violent air currents instantly condensed, its light blindingly bright.

The pale golden Rasengan spun at high speed in Xie Xie's palm, emitting a piercing screech as it tore through the air, the violent currents whipping his robes into a frenzy.

He shielded Gu Yue tightly behind him, using his own body to block the front.

The Dark Bone Dragon King's giant claw arrived in an instant, the pitch-black bone claw carrying a destructive force as it slammed toward Xie Xie, the ghostly blue soul fire burning fiercely.

Xie Xie gritted his teeth and, without hesitation, met the blow head-on with the Rasengan condensed to its limit in his palm.

Boom--!

A deafening explosion erupted across the arena.

The golden soul power storm collided with the pitch-black dark energy, and a terrifying shockwave swept out in all directions, causing the entire arena to tremble violently.

At the edge of the arena, Long Hengxu's figure froze, his right hand shielding his eyes as he instinctively used soul power to block the violent currents.

Almost everyone watching was unable to open their eyes due to the gale.

Only Wu Zhangkong stood there calmly.

The violent currents whipped her hair into a dance, yet she remained unmoved, her eyes locked firmly on the situation in the center.

Xie Xie's entire body trembled violently, every muscle screaming as his soul power was consumed at an alarming rate, and a trickle of blood began to spill from the corner of his mouth.

Yet he held on firmly, not daring to relax for even a second.

He knew that if he fell, Gu Yue behind him would be in dire straits.

Likewise, Xie Xie understood that the Rasengan alone could not withstand the full-force blow of the Dark Bone Dragon King.

Therefore—

A flash of resolve crossed Xie Xie's eyes, and he actively detonated the Rasengan in his palm!

Boom--!!

A golden light, several times more violent than before, suddenly exploded, and a torrent of pale golden soul power swept outward with irresistible force.

A piercing sound of shattering accompanied the roar!

The Dark Bone Dragon King let out a painful hiss, its massive body actually forced back a step by the power of the self-detonation.

On the surface of that pitch-black, hideous Bone Dragon Claw, a clearly visible crack had been blasted open.

As for Xie Xie himself, he was sent flying by the terrifying recoil of the explosion, crashing heavily onto the arena floor like a kite with a broken string.

Even under such a violent impact, he still chose to use his own body to absorb all the shock, not letting Gu Yue in his arms be affected in the slightest.

The dust and smoke slowly dissipated, and Xie Xie lay in a wretched state upon the shattered ground.

The Light Dragon Blade had long since been knocked from his hand, his soul power was completely exhausted, and waves of tearing pain surged through every bone and limb in his body.

His face was as pale as paper, blood constantly spilling from the corners of his mouth, and even moving a single finger had become incredibly difficult, yet the arm wrapped around Gu Yue did not loosen in the slightest.

Everything had happened too suddenly, so fast that Tang Wulin and Gu Yue had no time to react at all.

Gu Yue had been protected in Xie Xie's arms and remained completely unharmed.

But when she struggled to stand up and her gaze fell upon the boy's miserable state, she was struck as if by lightning.

Her vision went blank for a brief moment, her mind momentarily shutting down, followed by a heart-wrenching panic that flooded in; her body trembled uncontrollably, and even her breathing became uncontrollably rapid.

"Xie, Xie Xie..."

When her trembling fingertips gently brushed against Xie Xie's bloodless cheek and touched the searing trail of blood, her entire body shuddered violently.

The next second, completely disregarding the fact that her own soul power had not yet recovered, Gu Yue forcibly channeled her remaining energy, pressing both hands against Xie Xie's chest as a faint glow lit up beneath her palms.

Wisps of light cautiously probed into Xie Xie's body, attempting to soothe the chaotic and shattered meridians of his soul power.

Gu Yue's small face remained pale, and fine beads of cold sweat seeped from her forehead.

She knelt there on the shattered floor, the glow in her palms flickering slightly; though weak, it flowed continuously into Xie Xie's body.

Gu Yue bit her lower lip hard, almost drawing blood, her voice choked with a panic and heartache she had never felt before:

"Don't be hurt... Xie Xie, you are not allowed to be hurt..."
