Separate Actions

"But wouldn't that waste a lot of your martial soul power?"

Huo Yuhao still voiced his concerns regarding this matter.

"The martial soul fusion skill that Wutong and I used before requires us to rest for several days after just one use. If you fuse the power of several martial soul skills in a row now, won't it leave you unable to exert force later?"

"No."

Lin Yi shook his head again.

"The reason you two end up in that situation is mainly because that martial soul is not possessed by one person alone, so forced fusion can only lead to some incompatibility. It would be better to be like me and fuse your own martial souls together; that way, the power becomes even stronger."

"I'd rather not."

Huo Yuhao pulled Tang Wutong close to his side and smiled calmly.

"Wutong and I are bound by the Light Raiment. If I were to fuse my martial souls together, wouldn't I lose the power that connects me to her? I want to fuse martial soul skills together with her!"

Lin Yi gave them a knowing smile. "Fine. Since your feelings are what you care about most, then have it your way. It's just that the God of Destruction will surely discover this current situation, and he will definitely..."

"This old man has already arrived."

Seeing the God of Destruction high above, Lin Yi felt not a shred of fear and merely let out a soft scoff.

"A dignified ancient god, yet you stoop to eavesdropping on others? What is this? Are you truly such a pathetic, petty person?"

"Insolent."

The God of Destruction spoke coldly. "How could I be such a petty person? Your words are truly looking down on this old man."

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

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

A hint of embarrassment appeared on the face of the God of Destruction as he stared straight at Lin Yi.

"I must admit that you have killed several of my elite soldiers and generals, but so what? Do you think I am destined to have no way to deal with you?"

"I've discovered that you really love to brag."

Lin Yi deliberately put on an arrogant air while flicking his fingers.

"If you're really that capable, then take action immediately. Doing nothing just makes me feel that you aren't even as strong as the God of Evil from earlier."

"First Soul Skill: Death Twin Wheels."

Lin Yi dodged quickly, but that Death Light Wheel kept chasing him relentlessly. He realized at this moment that this power was driven by a trace of mental intent; unless it touched him, it would continue to pursue him.

Since there was no way to dodge, it would be better to meet it head-on.

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

Seeing that Lin Yi had actually released a light wheel of similar size to his own power, the God of Destruction was instantly enraged. "How is this possible? A mere first-level god, yet you possess this kind of power? Lin Yi, you are truly something!"

"I don't need your praise."

Lin Yi panted heavily. After releasing the attack, a hint of gloominess appeared in his eyes.

"Don't think that you can destroy all of us by yourself. You don't have that ability."

"Then let's put it to the test."

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

That layer of black aura surged continuously from the ground, leaving no gaps whatsoever.

Although Tang San used his divine power to protect the others, the tremors from the ground caused cracks to appear in the protective barrier.

Damn it.

Lin Yi frowned. He knew that if he didn't end the battle quickly, the others would inevitably be caught in the crossfire.

Thinking this, he gave a cold smile, flew directly into the air, and pointed his pinky finger at the God of Destruction.

"Is that all the power you have? God of Destruction, if you have the guts, come with me to fight in another place. I don't need anyone's help; I want to fight you one-on-one."

"Very well."

The God of Destruction nodded at him and withdrew his power.

"Although I know you are trying to protect them, since you have the courage to fight one-on-one, I will grant your wish. Even if you die, I will not make things difficult for the others. Lin Yi, you have indeed changed some of my views on people, but in the end, you have only one outcome: death."

"Hey, can you say less of that?"

Lin Yi spread his hands toward him again. "Nothing is set in stone yet, so why speak as if it's a foregone conclusion? Aren't you afraid of biting your own tongue?"

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

"It seems you really are a newborn calf that isn't afraid of the tiger. Since that is the case, I shall certainly fulfill your desire for a death match!"

Watching them fly away rapidly, Tang San turned his gaze toward the others inside his protective barrier.

"Now that Lin Yi has gone to deal with the God of Destruction, we must help him eliminate the God of Destruction's other henchmen. Otherwise, Lin Yi won't have the strength to deal with the others later."

"Leave it to me."

Bibi Dong nodded at Tang San. "I am the most suitable person for this kind of task."

"It's not something you can handle alone."

Tang San frowned slightly. "This matter still requires everyone to work together. The God of Destruction's forces are countless; besides those stubborn ancient gods, there are also some newly ascended gods who cannot be underestimated!"
