Splitting Up

"But wouldn't that waste a lot of your Martial Soul power?"

Huo Yuhao still voiced his concern.

"The Martial Soul Fusion Skill Wutong and I used before already required us to rest for several days after just one use. Now you've fused the power of several Martial Soul Skills in succession. Won't that leave you unable to fight later?"

"No."

Lin Yi shook his head again.

"The reason you two ended up like that was mainly because those Martial Souls didn't belong to either of you individually. Forcing them to fuse could only cause some discomfort. It's different for me. I fused several of my own Martial Souls together, and that only made my power stronger."

"Let's not."

Huo Yuhao took Tang Wutong's hand and smiled calmly.

"Wutong and I are bound together by Light Raiment. If I fused our Martial Souls together, wouldn't that mean losing the power we share? I want to fuse Martial Soul Skills with her!"

Lin Yi gave them a knowing smile. "All right. Since what you care about most is your feelings for each other, have it your way. But in this situation, God of Destruction will definitely find out. He'll surely..."

"I'm already here."

As God of Destruction loomed high above them, Lin Yi showed no fear. He merely snorted.

"A mighty ancient god, and yet you stoop to eavesdropping on other people's conversations. What is it? Could you really be such a despicable little man?"

"How dare you!"

God of Destruction spoke coldly. "How could I be that sort of person? Your words show a blatant lack of respect for me."

"You keep calling yourself 'this old man,' so you must be an old fossil. No wonder you've stirred up so much trouble."

"Lin Yi, don't push your luck!"

A trace of embarrassment crossed God of Destruction's face as he stared straight at Lin Yi.

"I'll admit you killed several of my elite subordinates, but so what? Do you really think I have no way to deal with you?"

"I've noticed you really like to brag."

Lin Yi put on an arrogant air and wiggled his fingers.

"If you're really so capable, then do something! You're just standing there. You're making me think you're not even as strong as that God of Evil was."

"First Soul Skill, Death Twin Wheels!"

Lin Yi dodged quickly, but the Death Light Wheel kept chasing him relentlessly. He realized that it was being propelled by a mental imprint of some kind. Unless it struck him, it would keep pursuing him.

If there was no way to evade it, then he might as well meet it head-on.

Lin Yi stopped in his tracks. "Two-Eight Combined Strike, Simulation Skill—Death Light Wheel!"

When God of Destruction saw Lin Yi release a light wheel nearly equal in power to his own, he flew into a rage. "How is this possible? You're only a First-Level God, yet you have power like this? Lin Yi, you're something else!"

"Save your praise."

Lin Yi was breathing heavily. Once he released the power, a dark look returned to his eyes.

"Don't think you can destroy all of us on your own. You don't have that kind of power."

"Then let's find out."

God of Destruction smiled again and clenched both fists. "Fourth Soul Skill, Chaos Overgrowth, Death Cage!"

Black energy kept surging up from beneath the ground, leaving not the slightest gap.

Although Tang San used divine power to protect the others, the tremors in the ground still left cracks in the barrier.

Damn.

Lin Yi furrowed his brow. He knew that if they didn't end this quickly, the others would inevitably be caught in the crossfire.

With that in mind, he gave a cold laugh, flew into the air, and raised his pinky at God of Destruction.

"Is that all the power you've got? God of Destruction, if you've got the nerve, come fight me somewhere else. I don't need anyone's help. I'll fight you one-on-one."

"Fine."

God of Destruction nodded and withdrew his power.

"I know you're trying to protect them. But since you have the nerve to fight me alone, I'll grant your wish. Even if you die, I won't trouble the others. Lin Yi, you've certainly changed some of my opinions about people. But in the end, there's only one fate waiting for you: death."

"Hey, could you stop saying stuff like that?"

Lin Yi spread his hands again. "Nothing's settled yet, and you're already declaring the outcome. Aren't you afraid you'll bite your tongue?"

God of Destruction narrowed his eyes and let out another cold laugh.

"Looks like you really are a fearless young calf that doesn't know to fear the tiger. So be it. I'll grant you the chance to die with your resolve intact!"

As the two of them flew off in a hurry, Tang San looked at the others inside his barrier.

"Now that Lin Yi has gone to deal with God of Destruction, we have to help him wipe out the rest of God of Destruction's followers. Otherwise, Lin Yi won't have the strength to handle anyone else afterward."

"Leave it to me."

Bibi Dong nodded at Tang San. "I'm the best person for this."

"You don't have to handle it alone."

Tang San frowned slightly. "We all need to deal with this together. God of Destruction has countless forces at his disposal. Besides those old, stubborn gods, there are also some newly ascended gods who shouldn't be underestimated!"
