Qian Renxue Ran Out of Power? Cough—Sorry, I Was Spacing Out Just Now! Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger!

Tang San, hiding behind a rock to observe the battle, also cast a suspicious glance at Ling Xiao.

He, too, could not discern the method the other party had used to neutralize the old poison master's technique.

Who exactly was this person?

Yet there was no doubt that his objective was the same as his own: the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Daring to snatch this crucial opportunity from him, Whoever he might be, He had already paved his own path to death!

No matter where he fled, he would ensure the other party's soul was utterly extinguished.

But he had no opportunity to intervene right now and could only pin his hopes on Dugu Bo.

"Old poison master, you must hold on!"

Within the sea of consciousness, Qian Renxue was also stunned by this scene.

Only at this moment did she realize, Her teacher had not lost his mind; he was teaching by example, imparting wisdom and guidance.

Her face burned with sudden heat.

She had misunderstood her teacher again!

But immediately, Her attention was firmly drawn to the words Ling Xiao had just spoken.

"Water can turn into ice, and ice can turn into water."

"Does that mean—"

"That spirit rings and spirit skills are not fixed?"

"As long as one masters the method, one could completely transform an offensive spirit skill into a defensive one,"

"And perhaps even..."

"The limitation of nine spirit skills would cease to exist?"

"This is going to overturn the entire cultivation system of the Douluo Continent!"

She was not certain if her interpretation was accurate, but she had already secretly decided in her heart, Once Ling Xiao was free, she must ask him for thorough guidance!

Having finished his display.

With one strike, he had broken Dugu Bo's spirit skill, and the purpose of his instruction had been achieved.

Ling Xiao did not intend to waste any more breath on him.

"I've played with you long enough; it's time to end this."

"Now, it is my turn to strike!"

His expression turned solemn, his aura surging abruptly as he prepared to finish it with a single blow.

Dugu Bo instantly snapped out of his shock, a look of grave apprehension appearing on his gloomy face for the first time.

He could already tell that this person was no ordinary individual, perhaps even surpassing every powerhouse he had ever encountered.

The only one who could be mentioned in the same breath as this man, He reckoned, was that mysterious Pope of the Martial Soul Hall.

Dugu Bo's spirit was taut, unsure if he could withstand this strike from the other party.

Yet he had no regrets!

At worst, they would perish together!

However, just as he had prepared himself for death, the other party—after dropping that line—

Simply stood where he was, motionless!?

The wind howled into the valley, causing the poisonous mist to churn restlessly.

Dugu Bo stood on high alert, while Ling Xiao remained as still as a statue...

The atmosphere turned exceptionally bizarre...

"Teacher? Teacher! What is wrong with you again?"

Qian Renxue was completely bewildered.

"Ask, ask, ask—you still have the nerve to ask?!"

Ling Xiao's exasperated voice exploded within her sea of consciousness.

"That was so lame!"

"Why are you so weak?"

"I haven't even done anything yet, how am I already out of power? No... how am I already out of soul power?!"

He had been too busy playing around just now, putting on one show after another and setting the stage perfectly, But now that he was ready to unleash his finishing move, He realized that the soul power Snake Lance Douluo and the others had transferred to Qian Renxue earlier, Had already been squandered by his antics just now!

"Ah? Then... what should we do now?"

Qian Renxue looked a bit aggrieved; this wasn't her fault, it was he who insisted on showing off!

"How about... we retreat for now?"

"While the opponent is still intimidated by you..."

Ling Xiao had originally intended to do just that.

Without soul power, this fight couldn't be won...

He couldn't possibly burn his own soul energy again, could he?

In his current half-dead state, if he drained any more, he would truly be reduced to scraps; it wasn't worth it.

A mere Dugu Bo—once he went back to recharge, coming back to snatch the immortal herbs and settle the score would be a matter of minutes.

But hearing Qian Renxue say that, he couldn't save face.

He had finally established a great, upright, and righteous image in front of his disciple, And now he was going to be forced into a pathetic, scuttling retreat by a measly Titled Douluo?

Did he have no dignity to maintain?

"Rest assured, leave it to your master! So what if I have no soul power?"

"I'll still beat him until he's looking for his teeth on the floor!"

Ling Xiao bluffed, his mind racing at lightning speed.

"There are so many immortal herbs here, how about... I grab a few and replenish some soul power on the spot?"

"No, no."

"With Qian Renxue's current body, I'd have to spend time and effort suppressing that immense medicinal power,"

"Not to mention we're in the middle of a fight, and suddenly dropping to the ground to chew on herbs—"

"That would be too embarrassing!"

"It would be better to just run away!"

"Or... should I just burn a bit of soul energy and kill the bastard?"

While he was hesitating, A flash of inspiration struck Ling Xiao.

He suddenly remembered, weren't there six "spare batteries" available?

Those six 99,999-year soul bones, Stored within them was the most refined soul power.

Ordinary soul masters could only use the soul skills attached to soul bones, But he could directly extract the source soul power from them to use.

As for whether the quality would drop—

He could just make up for it later; there were so many immortal herbs laid out right here!

He acted as soon as he thought of it.

Although his spiritual power was currently low, in terms of level, Let alone Limit Douluos, Even First-Class Gods or some God Kings might not be able to compare to him.

After those six soul bones had fused into Qian Renxue's body, Even though there was a strange power of rules keeping them between reality and illusion, It couldn't stop his spiritual power from forcibly breaking in.

Several strands of the purest soul power essence were extracted, Turning into gurgling warm currents that surged throughout his entire body.

In an instant—

Ling Xiao felt he was back in action!

"Ahem—sorry, I was distracted for a moment!"

He looked back at Dugu Bo, his tone returning to a light and breezy state.

"Kneel and beg for mercy now, and it might not be too late!"

Dugu Bo had been wondering if the other party was brewing some ultimate move, but after waiting for so long, he was met with only that sentence, instantly turning his confusion and insecurity into pure rage.

"Cease your arrogance!"

"Seventh Soul Skill—Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Avatar!"

Dugu Bo stopped caring about anything else, instantly condensing all his soul power into his seventh soul ring.

His physical body vanished, and the phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, several zhang tall, solidified behind him, radiating a foul stench and a biting aura.

Without the slightest hesitation, the serpent's tail whipped toward Ling Xiao with a sound that tore through the air.

It was dodged with ease...

Immediately following, the blood-red maw snapped down from above!

"I said, the game ends here!"

Ling Xiao's voice turned cold.

"It seems you have no intention of turning back from your misguided path!"

Ling Xiao stopped dodging and condensed his soul power into his fist.

Just as the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor bit down—

He threw a punch!

The head of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor was pierced through by the blow, and dark green poisonous blood sprayed like rain!

Using the force of the punch, Ling Xiao soared into the sky, hovering in mid-air with his robes fluttering violently.

He looked down at the giant Jade Phosphorous Serpent on the ground, whose head was half-shattered yet still hissing and struggling, and extended a single finger.

"Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger!"

In the void, a massive finger condensed from soul power emerged.

Carrying incomparable might, it crashed down—

BOOM!

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor was driven directly into the earth.

Dugu Bo's dilapidated little courtyard instantly turned to dust, leaving a massive crater in the ground.

Dugu Bo's martial soul avatar was shattered, and he lay at the bottom of the ruins, bleeding from his seven orifices.

"The winner takes all... do as you please, kill me or carve me up!"

"But my granddaughter knows nothing of this, nor has she ever offended Your Excellency... I beg you to spare her life!"

Dugu Bo struggled to climb up from the ruins, his legs buckling as he knelt heavily on the ground.

This proud and aloof old poison master, who had never bowed his head to anyone in his entire life, lowered his once-unconquerable head at this moment.
