Looking at the Golden Horned Behemoth's earth-shattering giant claw descending toward him from above.
The Black-Robed Bishop's pupils constricted violently.
Knowing he could no longer evade this strike, he instantly lit up his fifth Soul Ring and roared, "Fifth Soul Skill: Thunder Web Spider Shield!"
The moment his words fell.
Countless bolts of purple lightning intertwined around him, forming an incomparably sturdy web of thunder that completely enveloped his body.
Boom!
The instant the thunder web formed.
The Golden Horned Behemoth's claw came crashing down upon it, erupting with a heaven-shaking blast.
Beneath the thunder web's protection.
The Black-Robed Bishop on the ground quickly rose to his feet. He first looked at the Golden Horned Behemoth above him, then turned toward Niu Ben, who was rapidly closing in from nearby, his Martial Soul having likewise mutated as he radiated the aura of a level 64 Soul Emperor.
A blazing light immediately burst from his eyes.
"Another mutated Plate Armor Giant Rhino!"
"One after another, Martial Souls from the same direction have mutated, and they can even control a soul beast never before seen on the continent. The Defense Clan definitely has some huge secret..."
"Escape..."
"I must escape! As long as I bring this information back to Spirit Hall, I'll be rich!"
With that thought.
The Black-Robed Bishop trembled with excitement.
Then, he instantly unleashed all his potential, activating his sixth Soul Ring as he shouted, "Sixth Soul Skill: Soul Locking Thunder Chain!"
In an instant.
Countless lightning chains erupted from the Thunder Spider legs growing from his back.
They shot through the gaps in the thunder web, first wrapping around the Golden Horned Behemoth above and restraining it, leaving it unable to move.
Then.
Several more lightning chains split off and lashed toward Niu Ben at lightning speed, binding 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 this move!"
"Once you're hit by my sixth Soul Skill, not only will your bodies be restrained and numbed, but your Soul Power circulation will also be hindered... By the time you break free, this bishop will have long since escaped!"
"Hahaha!"
After laughing at them.
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 restraint-and-sealing Soul Skill. So this is your trump card!"
"Against anyone else, you might really have gotten away."
"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.
Hearing only Jin Feng's voice without seeing anyone, the Black-Robed Bishop immediately sensed that something was wrong.
But before he could react.
The Golden Horned Behemoth's wings, which covered the sky and blotted out the sun, suddenly beat. Dazzling light erupted from them, shattering every lightning chain wrapped around its body and restoring its freedom.
Then, under the Black-Robed Bishop's bloodshot gaze, its body rapidly expanded from eight meters to sixteen meters, its aura becoming even more terrifying.
At the same time.
Niu Ben, who was restrained 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 for a second transformation, immunity to control, and an increase in all attributes.
Seeing the Golden Horned Behemoth and Niu Ben break free from the restraint 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 close at hand and the Golden Horned Behemoth, huge as a mountain, his face turned green. 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.
This decision.
Was no different from using an egg to smash a stone.
After his previous battle against the Clear Sky Sect, he had already been far from his peak condition. Coupled with the massive Soul Power expenditure during his escape, it was already impressive if he could exert half his full strength.
Under such circumstances.
Facing the Golden Horned Behemoth, whose size and combat strength had doubled after using the True Body Secret Technique, as well as Niu Ben, whose mutated Martial Soul had greatly increased his attack power, he simply could not withstand them.
Before long.
He was already severely injured.
Finally, the Golden Horned Behemoth found an opening and sent him flying with a swipe of its claw, embedding all six of his limbs into the ground.
Seeing that the Black-Robed Bishop had completely lost the ability to fight back.
Only then did Jin Feng emerge from hiding. With a thought, he returned the Golden Horned Behemoth to its normal eight-meter form.
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 blood continuously spilled from his mouth. Only his last breath kept him alive.
Looking at the Golden Horned Behemoth that had suddenly entered his view, along with Jin Feng standing atop its head, who appeared to be only seven or eight years old.
He seemed to realize something.
His pupils suddenly shrank.
After coming back to his senses, he endured the agonizing pain within his body and said bitterly, "No wonder the voice hidden in the dark sounded so young before. It was actually from 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 muttered in utter despair, "Only seven or eight years old... yet he already has such terrifying combat strength... and he was born into the Defense Clan... Spirit Hall... is going to face great trouble..."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The Black-Robed Bishop, who had already been hanging on by his last breath, could no longer hold on. His head tilted to one side, and he stopped breathing entirely.
Seeing this.
Jin Feng controlled the Golden Horned Behemoth to devour him, then flew toward the depths of the valley with his uncle Niu Ben and the Second Elder, who had arrived late.
At the same time.
In the deepest part of the valley.
Niu Gao, in his Martial Soul Possession state, had already walked up to the visibly nervous members of the Clear Sky Sect.
As Niu Gao stared silently at him from directly ahead, Tang Feng, the Clear Sky Sect leader who possessed the strength of a level 68 Soul Emperor, immediately took out a glowing Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone from his storage.
He cautiously stepped forward.
While cupping 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 inside a Great Strength Diamond Ape with 13,000 years of cultivation. I hope Senior will not find it lacking..."
"I naturally do not find Soul Bones lacking."
Looking at the tense Tang Feng.
Niu Gao sneered. "But who told you that this old man acted today to save you people from 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, resulting in devastating losses. Did you think this old man had forgotten that debt?"
Hearing this.
Tang Feng immediately panicked.
He hurriedly said, "Please calm your anger, Senior. The sect's decision to close the mountain seven years ago was also a helpless choice born of difficult circumstances..."
However.
Before Tang Feng could finish.
Jin Feng's icy voice suddenly sounded from nearby. "Grandfather, why waste any more words on the Clear Sky Sect? Just kill them all!"
