Bei Bei vs. Long Aotian

"It seems Brother Long has returned!" Bei Bei smiled slightly. After retracting the Nine True Dragon Crowns, he left the room and walked slowly out of the hotel.

Looking at Long Aotian standing outside the door, his aura was even sharper than before.

"Congratulations, Brother Long, on obtaining a fourth soul ring that satisfies you!" Bei Bei said with a smile.

"Haha! I can't wait to see what you're capable of!" Long Aotian laughed, pointing toward the outskirts of the small town. "Let's go outside!"

Bei Bei nodded and followed him.

The two arrived outside, nearly reaching the perimeter of the Sunset Forest, where they could fight without affecting anyone.

Standing a dozen meters apart, Bei Bei and Long Aotian exchanged a glance and simultaneously summoned their Martial Souls.

Behind Long Aotian, a silver-white figure appeared. Four soul rings—yellow, purple, purple, and black—rose from beneath his feet.

On Bei Bei's side, a high-pitched dragon roar rang out.

A white-gold giant dragon emerged behind him, radiating an ancient and terrifying dragon might that made one tremble.

A white-gold dragon scale appeared on Bei Bei's forehead, and countless golden lightning bolts danced across his entire body.

Activating Dragon Transformation, white-gold dragon claws manifested, dragon scales covered his hands and arms, extending all the way to his back, and he spread two massive dragon wings!

Four pitch-black soul rings rose from beneath his feet, circling around him.

Seeing that Bei Bei actually possessed four ten-thousand-year soul rings, Long Aotian's expression did not change in the slightest.

At this moment, his momentum was like a rainbow, his bearing heroic, with a silver-white halo rippling around his body.

Fully entering the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, his entire body turned silver-white.

Bei Bei's momentum was more overbearing, like that of an emperor.

After Martial Soul Possession, his pupils turned into golden dragon eyes, as brilliant as a galaxy, radiating a haughty dragon might.

Neither of them made the first move, instead releasing their respective auras and clashing invisibly with their spiritual power.

During the half-month spent hunting soul beasts, Long Aotian had killed countless beasts; at this moment, the aura on his body carried a trace of ferocity and bloodlust.

The dragon might on Bei Bei's body, while overbearing, contained a vast and brilliant power of light.

The atmosphere between the two was heart-palpitating.

The next moment, both moved, rushing toward each other at high speed.

Long Aotian raised his hand and pressed forward, a phantom palm as white as jade striking toward Bei Bei.

Bei Bei's arm, wreathed in golden lightning, blasted forward, transforming into a golden Thunder Dragon Claw.

It was merely a simple probing move, yet both had infused their own understanding of intent into the attack.

"Boom!"

The white halo and the golden lightning collided, producing a violent roar.

The two had already rushed to each other's front, almost within arm's reach.

Long Aotian clenched his fist, a white light shadow clinging to it, and punched toward Bei Bei.

This punch was fierce and peerless, filled with a momentum of pressing forward without retreat, ready to battle heaven and earth.

Bei Bei did not dodge; he slammed his dragon wings back and raised his dragon claws to meet the strike.

"Boom!"

The silver fist and the golden dragon claw collided, resulting in another loud bang.

Both of their strengths were immense, far exceeding their own levels; a gale suddenly whipped up in the wilderness, and the white halo and golden lightning scattered in all directions.

Bei Bei's slender yet sturdy physique was like a true dragon; the two rapidly exchanged punches, clashing intensely several times before separating.

The two had almost turned into silver-white and golden afterimages, moving at an incredible speed.

Wherever they passed, grass, trees, and boulders were all caught in the wake and shattered.

In close-quarters combat, the two were evenly matched, the battle incredibly fierce, making it difficult to determine a winner for the time being.

Long Aotian was secretly shocked; he possessed the Body Sect's combat techniques and had undergone body tempering with the Body Sect's secret arts since childhood, which was why he had polished his physical strength to such perfection.

Even so, he could not effectively suppress his opponent, and in the physical collision, he was even slightly falling behind.

Bei Bei was also inwardly startled; he had consumed Whale Rubber since childhood, tempered his physique in a gravity chamber, and had the added blessing of the Radiant Dragon King Martial Soul, yet Long Aotian could still withstand his offensive.

With their fighting spirit soaring, both struck sharply, without any intention of holding back.

In such a situation, if either were to hold back, it would mean disrespect toward the other, so they naturally attacked with all their might.

Long Aotian twisted his body violently, and one leg, like a silver whip, lashed out horizontally.

Bei Bei thrust his pair of dragon claws forward, like the upper and lower jaws of a giant dragon, biting fiercely toward Long Aotian's chest to force him back.

At the same time, Long Aotian's whip-leg landed on Bei Bei's waist.

Bei Bei managed to protect his side with his dragon wings in time, but he was still kicked several meters away.

Both had taken a hit, feeling the blood surging within their bodies and suffering minor injuries, with a trace of blood flowing from the corners of both their mouths.

The benefit of the Life Gold showed itself then; a stream of pure life force flowed from his forehead into his body, healing the surging blood within.

"Second Soul Skill, Bright Dragon Breath!" Bei Bei spat out a thick pillar of golden lightning from his mouth, aiming it straight at Long Aotian.

Long Aotian likewise unleashed his second soul skill, "Golden God Fury."

His right arm twisted and deformed, transforming into a dark gold longblade. He slashed out violently, cleaving the incoming pillar of golden lightning in two, and continued his charge toward Bei Bei.

"First Soul Skill, Radiant Dragon Claw!" Bei Bei controlled the golden lightning, wrapping it around his arms.

Platinum-colored scales flared and stood on end, the edges of every dragon scale razor-sharp, resembling countless short spikes.

Long Aotian's right arm was a golden longblade, his left a golden warhammer, as he hacked and smashed toward Bei Bei.

Bei Bei used his thick, dragon-transformed arms to block. Sparks flew as the longblade and warhammer collided with the platinum scales, emitting the sound of clashing metal.

"First Soul Skill, Demon Ape Transformation! Third Soul Skill, Dark Gold Power!"

Long Aotian's physique grew larger once more, becoming even more robust as his strength and speed surged again.

Long Aotian's entire body was also shrouded in a layer of dark gold radiance, as if he had turned into metal, becoming even more resilient.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Radiant Dragon Body!"

Bei Bei's pitch-black fourth soul ring flashed, and his own physique grew larger as well, with fine golden dragon patterns emerging across his skin.

Every time the two collided, a massive roar erupted; the ground beneath their feet was trampled into cracks, trees toppled, and earth and stone flew into the air.

Long Aotian and Bei Bei clashed fiercely once again.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Mad God Slash!"

Long Aotian finally unleashed his fourth soul skill, his pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul ring flickering.

His body grew even larger, reaching a height of over four meters. As he stretched his arms upward and a dark gold light burst forth, his arms fused together, transforming into a giant axe.

Long Aotian leaned back slightly, and the massive axe smashed violently toward Bei Bei!

Radiant power radiated from Bei Bei's entire body, intermingled with streaks of golden lightning, which condensed under his control into a three-meter-long golden dragon halberd.
