High in the sky, two streaks of light—one gold and one purple—raced side by side.

Although Qin Yao was only level fifty-one, the flight talent of the Amethyst Winged Lion King was formidable, and combined with his robust physical body, he kept pace with Qian Renxue with ease.

Qian Renxue had initially intended to lead the way, only to find that Qin Yao remained leisurely by her side, even finding the spare time to admire the scenery below.

The two flew and stopped intermittently, resting for the night in cities along their route whenever they grew tired.

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

Without lingering in the town, the pair ventured directly into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

At the same time, the figure of Qin Xiong appeared a hundred meters behind them, following at a steady, unhurried pace.

On the other side, Qian Renxue and Qin Yao moved with great speed, crossing the outer perimeter in less than an hour and entering the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Slow down." Qian Renxue suddenly came to a halt.

Qin Yao stopped as well, turning his head to look at her.

Qian Renxue closed her eyes and raised her right hand slightly, a faint golden halo emerging from her palm.

The halo rippled outward like water, silently permeating the surrounding trees, soil, and air.

This was the innate sensory ability of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul toward the light attribute.

Qin Yao waited quietly, not daring to disturb her.

After about a few minutes, Qian Renxue opened her eyes:

"To the southeast, there is a very pure aura of light."

Qin Yao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "Found it so quickly?"

Qian Renxue spoke as if sharing a riddle: "You'll see when we get there. Let's go."

With that, she took the lead, and Qin Yao followed closely behind.

The two pushed forward toward the southeast, encountering several ten-thousand-year soul beasts along the way, but all were driven back by the Lion King's pressure released by Qin Yao.

Observing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but cast a few extra glances at Qin Yao.

For a level fifty-one Soul King to deter ten-thousand-year soul beasts with the pressure of his Martial Soul alone—this Martial Soul was truly formidable.

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

A gap appeared in the dense canopy, allowing sunlight to stream straight down onto an open grassy clearing.

In the center of the meadow lay a small, clear pool, its water transparent to the bottom and shimmering with ripples under the sun.

Standing on the bank of the pool was a snow-white soul beast.

Qin Yao stopped in his tracks.

It was a unicorn.

Its build was a size larger than an ordinary horse, with long, powerful limbs and a coat of short, dense white fur that shimmered like pearls in the sunlight.

Most striking was the spiral-shaped golden horn on its forehead, over a foot long, with a soft golden light gathering at the tip that blended seamlessly with the surrounding sunlight.

Holy Sound Unicorn.

A rare soul beast of the light attribute, born with the power of holy sound purification; it was gentle in temperament but possessed immense combat strength.

Judging by the soul power fluctuations radiating from the unicorn, its age was at least thirty thousand years.

"That's it." Qian Renxue's voice was very low. "A Holy Sound Unicorn of about thirty-two thousand years; its light attribute is extremely pure."

Qin Yao glanced at the unicorn, then looked at Qian Renxue:

"How shall we fight? Will you take the lead or shall I?"

Qian Renxue thought for a moment: "I will take the lead, and you provide support. Help me block its escape route. The Holy Sound Unicorn is incredibly fast; if it gets away, it will be a headache to track it down again."

"Agreed."

Qin Yao didn't waste words; a flash of purple light erupted from his body as he initiated Martial Soul Possession.

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 beastly pressure of the Amethyst Winged Lion King spreading out, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to rise sharply.

Qian Renxue released her Martial Soul at the same time.

Golden light exploded from behind her, and her snow-white wings spread wide, every feather shimmering with holy radiance.

A translucent golden longsword materialized in her right hand, its sacred aura forming a stark contrast to Qin Yao's purple flames.

Qin Yao channeled his soul power, kicked off the ground, and transformed into a streak of purple light, circling around to the rear of the Holy Sound Unicorn.

The Holy Sound Unicorn's reaction was lightning-fast.

The moment Qin Yao moved, it sensed the danger.

The light on its golden horn flared violently, and it dug its hooves into the ground, its entire body launching like a white arrow in the opposite direction of Qin Yao.

"Trying to run?"

Qin Yao's speed was even greater.

The Amethyst Bone Wings flapped violently, cutting off the Holy Sound Unicorn's escape route from mid-air. Qin Yao landed ten meters in front of it, crossing his arms to block its path.

Innate Soul Skill, Amethyst Body Protection!

First Soul Skill, Amethyst Lion King Body!

Dark purple crystal armor instantly covered his entire body, and his physical strength doubled in tandem.

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

A golden sound wave erupted from the tip of the horn, carrying the purifying power of the light attribute as it slammed head-on into Qin Yao.

Qin Yao crossed his arms in front of his chest to take the blow head-on.

The golden sound wave collided with the Amethyst Armor, emitting a harsh, buzzing drone.

Qin Yao's feet dragged two deep furrows into the ground, pushing him back three or four meters, but he stood his ground firmly; the surface of the Amethyst Armor only bore a few shallow white marks.

"Is that all a thirty-thousand-year-old beast can do?" Qin Yao flexed his wrists.

His only task was to block its retreat; the main assault was Qian Renxue's job.

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

The flight speed of a Six-Winged Angel was virtually unrivaled in the air. She dove from high above, the golden phantom sword in her right hand rapidly solidifying as she descended. The holy light on the blade compressed and condensed until it became a tangible, holy longsword.

Fifth Soul Skill, Holy Sword!

The Holy Sound Unicorn sensed the immense threat from above. Its golden horn flared with light once more, attempting to unleash a second wave of sonic attacks.

But Qin Yao had already moved.

Second Soul Skill, Lion's Fang!

A giant, dark purple flaming lion head exploded from his palm, carrying scorching purple flames as it slammed directly into the side of the Holy Sound Unicorn.

The unicorn staggered two steps from the impact, and its gathering sonic attack was forcibly interrupted.

In that very opening, Qian Renxue arrived.

The golden longsword slashed down from above, the angel soul power imbued in the blade tripling its purification effect.

With one strike!

The holy golden light bleached the entire forest meadow pale.

The Holy Sound Unicorn let out a cry of unwilling lament. Its horn attempted to parry the blow, but Qian Renxue's Holy Sword cleaved the golden horn in two, the momentum of the blade undiminished as it hacked fiercely into the beast's skull.

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

In less than a minute, the massive body of the Holy Sound Unicorn collapsed to the ground with a thud, its life extinguished.

A black soul ring rose slowly from within the unicorn's body, hovering in mid-air.
