Holy Sound Unicorn

High in the sky, one golden and one purple beam of light flew side by side.

Although Qin Yao was only level fifty-one, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had exceptional flying talent. Combined with his powerful physique, it allowed him to keep up with Qian Renxue's speed with ease.

Qian Renxue had originally planned to lead the way, but she soon realized Qin Yao was leisurely keeping pace beside her, even with enough time to admire the scenery below.

They flew in fits and starts, stopping to rest for the night in cities along the way whenever they grew tired.

Three days later, they finally reached a Soul Hunting Town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

They didn't linger in town, heading straight into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiong appeared a hundred meters behind them, following at an unhurried pace.

Elsewhere, Qian Renxue and Qin Yao were moving quickly. In less than an hour, they had crossed the outer region and entered the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Slow down." Qian Renxue suddenly stopped.

Qin Yao stopped with her and turned to look at her.

Qian Renxue closed her eyes and raised her right hand slightly. A faint golden glow appeared in her palm.

The glow spread in every direction like ripples on water, silently seeping into the surrounding trees, soil, and air.

It was the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul's innate ability to sense light attributes.

Qin Yao waited quietly, not making a sound to disturb her.

A few minutes later, Qian Renxue opened her eyes.

"Somewhere to the southeast, there's a very pure aura of light."

Qin Yao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "You found it already?"

Qian Renxue replied cryptically, "Why not go and see for yourself? Let's go."

With that, she set off first, and Qin Yao followed close behind.

They headed southeast. Along the way, they encountered several ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts, but the Lion King's pressure released by Qin Yao drove them all back.

Qian Renxue watched, unable to stop herself from giving Qin Yao a couple more looks.

A level fifty-one Soul King could intimidate ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts with nothing but his Martial Soul's pressure. His Martial Soul was truly formidable.

After walking for about another quarter of an hour, the forest ahead suddenly grew much brighter.

There was a gap in the dense canopy, and sunlight streamed straight down onto an open grassy clearing.

At the center of the clearing lay a small, clear pool. Its crystal-clear water shimmered in the sunlight.

On the bank stood a snow-white Soul Beast.

Qin Yao stopped in his tracks.

It was a unicorn.

It was a head larger than an ordinary horse, with long, powerful legs. Its entire body was covered in short, dense white fur that gleamed like pearls in the sunlight.

Most striking of all was the spiral-shaped golden horn on its forehead. Over a foot long, its tip gathered a soft golden glow that blended with the surrounding sunlight.

A Holy Sound Unicorn.

A rare light-attribute Soul Beast, it was born with the power of holy sound and purification. Though gentle in temperament, it was exceptionally strong in battle.

Judging by the Soul Power fluctuations radiating from this unicorn, it was at least thirty thousand years old.

"That's the one." Qian Renxue lowered her voice. "A Holy Sound Unicorn that's around thirty-two thousand years old. Its light attribute is exceptionally pure."

Qin Yao glanced at the unicorn, then at Qian Renxue.

"How do we fight it? Are you taking the lead, or am I?"

Qian Renxue considered it. "I'll take the lead, and you support me. Block its escape routes. Holy Sound Unicorns are incredibly fast. If we let it get away, it'll be a hassle to chase it down."

"Fine."

Qin Yao didn't waste words. Purple light flashed across his body as he summoned his Martial Soul.

Dark purple crystal armor covered his arms and chest, and a pair of Dark Purple Bone Wings unfurled from his back.

His aura turned ferocious in an instant. The beastlike pressure of the Amethyst Winged Lion King spread out, and the surrounding air grew abruptly hotter.

At the same time, Qian Renxue released her Martial Soul.

Golden light burst from behind her, and white wings unfurled, every feather shining with a sacred radiance.

A translucent golden longsword coalesced in her right hand, its holy aura a stark contrast to Qin Yao's Purple Fire.

Qin Yao channeled his Soul Power and pushed off the ground, turning into a streak of purple light as he circled around to the Holy Sound Unicorn's rear.

The Holy Sound Unicorn reacted extremely quickly.

The instant Qin Yao moved, it sensed the danger.

The light atop its golden horn flared brilliantly. Its four hooves dug into the ground, and its body shot out like a white arrow, charging in the opposite direction from Qin Yao.

"Trying to run?"

Qin Yao was even faster.

His Amethyst Bone Wings beat powerfully as he cut off the unicorn's escape route from the air, landing ten meters in front of it and crossing his arms to block its way.

Innate Soul Skill, Amethyst Body Protection!

First Soul Skill, Amethyst Lion King Body!

Dark purple crystal armor instantly covered his entire body, doubling his physical strength along with it.

The Holy Sound Unicorn was forced to a halt by Qin Yao. It aimed its golden horn at him and let out a ringing neigh.

A golden sound wave burst from the tip of its horn, carrying the purifying power of its light attribute as it slammed straight into Qin Yao.

Qin Yao crossed his arms in front of himself and took the blow head-on.

The golden sound wave crashed into his Amethyst Armor with a shrill hum.

Qin Yao's feet carved two deep furrows into the ground as he was shoved back three or four meters. But he stayed firmly on his feet, and the surface of his Amethyst Armor bore only a few faint white marks.

"That's it for a thirty-thousand-year attack?" Qin Yao rolled his wrist.

All he needed to do was block its escape route. Qian Renxue was the one who had to take the lead.

On the other side, Qian Renxue had already lunged at it from the front.

The Six-Winged Angel's flying speed was almost unmatched in the air. She dived from above, and the golden phantom sword in her right hand rapidly solidified as she descended. The holy light on the blade compressed again and again until it became a tangible, sacred longsword.

Fifth Soul Skill, Holy Sword!

The Holy Sound Unicorn sensed the immense threat overhead. Its golden horn blazed once more as it tried to unleash a second wave of sound.

But Qin Yao had already made his move.

Second Soul Skill, Lion's Fang!

A massive dark purple flaming lion's head exploded from his palm, wrapped in searing Purple Fire as it slammed into the Holy Sound Unicorn's flank.

The unicorn staggered two steps from the blow, and the sound wave it had been gathering was forcibly interrupted.

In that opening, Qian Renxue arrived.

Her golden longsword came down from above, the Angel Soul Power coating its edge tripling its purifying effect.

One slash!

Sacred golden light turned the entire forest clearing a ghostly white.

The Holy Sound Unicorn let out a resentful whinny and tried to block the strike with its horn. But Qian Renxue's Holy Sword cleaved through the golden horn, splitting it in two. The sword's momentum didn't falter; it plunged viciously into the unicorn's skull.

The power of purification spread wildly through the unicorn's body.

In less than a minute, the Holy Sound Unicorn's massive body crashed to the ground, lifeless.

A black Soul Ring slowly rose from within the unicorn and hovered in midair.
