An Egg Against a Stone, No Need for Nonsense

Looking at the earth-shaking giant claw of the Golden Horned Behemoth descending toward him overhead,

the Black-Robed Bishop's pupils constricted violently.

Knowing he could no longer dodge this blow, he instantly lit up his fifth soul ring and roared, "Fifth Soul Skill: Thunder Web Spider Shield!"

The moment his words fell,

countless streaks of purple lightning intertwined around him, spreading into an incomparably sturdy web of lightning that completely enveloped his body.

Boom!

The instant the thunder web formed,

the Golden Horned Behemoth's claw slammed down upon it, erupting with a thunderous crash.

Protected by the thunder web,

the Black-Robed Bishop quickly rose from the ground. He first looked at the Golden Horned Behemoth above him, then turned toward Niu Ben, who was rapidly closing in from nearby. Niu Ben's martial soul had likewise mutated, and he radiated the aura of a level 64 Soul Emperor.

A feverish light immediately burst from his eyes.

"Another mutated Plate Armor Giant Rhino!"

"Two martial souls mutating in the same direction one after another, and they can even control a soul beast never before seen on the continent. The Defense Clan must be hiding an enormous secret..."

Escape...

I have to escape! As long as I bring this information back to Spirit Hall, I'll be set!

With that thought,

the Black-Robed Bishop trembled with excitement.

Then, he instantly unleashed all his potential, activated his sixth soul ring, and shouted softly, "Sixth Soul Skill: Soul Locking Thunder Chain!"

In an instant,

countless lightning chains burst from the Thunder Spider legs growing from his back.

They shot through the gaps in the thunder web, first wrapping around and binding the Golden Horned Behemoth overhead, rendering it unable to move.

Then,

several more lightning chains split off and lashed toward Niu Ben at lightning speed, pinning him in place.

Seeing that both Niu Ben and the Golden Horned Behemoth had been restrained by the lightning chains,

the Black-Robed Bishop immediately said smugly, "Didn't expect that, did you? This bishop still has a trick like this!"

"Once you're hit by my sixth soul skill, not only will your bodies be bound and numb, but the circulation of your Soul Power will also be obstructed... By the time you break free, this bishop will already be far away!"

"Hahaha!"

After laughing mockingly,

the Black-Robed Bishop glanced at the Defense Clan's Second Elder approaching in the distance and instinctively prepared to flee.

However,

at that moment,

Jin Feng's voice suddenly rang in the Black-Robed Bishop's ears. "A group binding-and-sealing soul skill. So this is your trump card!"

"Perhaps you really could have escaped if you had faced someone else."

"But unfortunately, you ran into us."

"Second Soul Skill: Beast God Wings!"

"Beast God Secret Technique: True Body Heaven and Earth, Double Size, Suppress!"

Over here,

the Black-Robed Bishop heard Jin Feng's voice but could not see anyone. The moment he heard it, he immediately felt something was wrong.

But before he could react,

the Golden Horned Behemoth's wings, which blotted out the sky, suddenly shook. They burst with dazzling light, shattering every lightning chain wrapped around its body and restoring its freedom.

Then, under the Black-Robed Bishop's splitting gaze, its body rapidly expanded from eight meters to sixteen meters, while its aura became even more terrifying.

At the same time,

Niu Ben, who had been bound by the lightning chains in the distance, also lit up his sixth soul ring and unleashed the Ten Thousand Year soul skill, Golden Rhino Transformation, which allowed a second transformation, immunity to control, and an all-around attribute boost.

Seeing the Golden Horned Behemoth and Niu Ben both break free from the restraints of his sixth soul skill and charge toward him, the Black-Robed Bishop could no longer laugh.

He had never imagined

that his bold declaration would be disproven so quickly.

Looking at Niu Ben and the mountain-like Golden Horned Behemoth so close before him, his face turned green, and he could only suffer in silence.

In the end, knowing he could no longer escape, he gritted his teeth and decided to fight Niu Ben and the Golden Horned Behemoth to the death.

But this move

was no different from striking a stone with an egg.

After his previous battle with the Clear Sky Sect, he had already been far from his peak condition. On top of that, he had consumed a great deal of Soul Power while fleeing just now. It would have been good enough if he could display half his full strength.

Under such circumstances,

he was utterly unable to withstand the Golden Horned Behemoth, whose size and combat power had doubled after using the True Body Secret Technique, along with Niu Ben, whose attack power had soared after his martial soul mutation.

Before long,

he was already gravely injured.

Finally, the Golden Horned Behemoth found an opening and sent him flying with a single swipe, burying all six of his limbs in the earth.

Seeing that the Black-Robed Bishop had completely lost his ability to resist,

Jin Feng finally emerged from the shadows. With a thought, he restored the Golden Horned Behemoth to its normal eight-meter size.

Then,

standing atop the Golden Horned Behemoth's head,

he arrived directly above where the Black-Robed Bishop lay and looked down at him from on high.

"Cough... cough..."

Inside the enormous crater,

the Black-Robed Bishop seemed fused with the earth. Every bone and meridian in his body had shattered, and he continuously coughed up blood. Only a single breath remained to sustain him.

Looking at the Golden Horned Behemoth that had suddenly entered his view, as well as Jin Feng standing atop its head, who appeared to be only seven or eight years old,

he seemed to realize something.

His pupils instantly shrank.

After coming back to his senses, he endured the agonizing pain within his body and said bitterly, "No wonder the voice in the shadows sounded so young earlier. It was actually made by a child?"

"This giant beast can use soul skills?"

"Could it be an Externalized Martial Soul?"

"Correct!" Jin Feng nodded, and the Black-Robed Bishop immediately murmured in utter despair, "Only seven or eight years old... yet he already possesses such terrifying combat power... and he was born into the Defense Clan... Spirit Hall... is going to face enormous trouble..."

The moment he finished speaking,

the Black-Robed Bishop, who had already been hanging on by a thread, could no longer hold on. His head tilted to one side, and he stopped breathing completely.

Seeing this,

Jin Feng controlled the Golden Horned Behemoth to devour him. Then, together with his uncle Niu Ben and the Second Elder, who had arrived late, he flew toward the depths of the valley.

Meanwhile,

in the deepest part of the valley,

Niu Gao, in his Martial Soul Possession state, had already walked up to the nervous members of the Clear Sky Sect.

Looking at Niu Gao, who simply stared at him without saying a word, Tang Feng, the Clear Sky Sect's level 68 Soul Emperor leader, immediately took a glowing Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone from his storage.

He carefully stepped forward.

As he cupped his hands toward Niu Gao, he said, "Thank you, Clan Chief Niu Gao, for saving our lives today. We found this Ten Thousand Year right arm soul bone yesterday within a Great Strength Diamond Ape with thirteen thousand years of cultivation. I hope you will not find it lacking..."

"Of course I do not find soul bones lacking."

Looking at the tense Tang Feng,

Niu Gao sneered. "But who told you that I acted today to save members of the Clear Sky Sect?"

"Seven years ago, your Clear Sky Sect chose to hide like turtles, causing my Defense Clan to suffer Spirit Hall's frenzied retaliation and targeting, with devastating losses. Do you think this old man has forgotten that debt?"

Hearing this,

Tang Feng immediately panicked.

He hurriedly said, "Please calm your anger, Senior. The sect's decision to seal the mountain seven years ago was also a helpless choice forced by difficult circumstances..."

However,

before Tang Feng could finish,

Jin Feng's icy voice suddenly rang out from nearby. "Grandfather, what is there to waste words with the Clear Sky Sect for? Kill them all!"
