The Golden Crow and the Angel Clash: A Nearly Unbeatable Soul Skill!

Leng Yaozhu quietly arrived at the edge of the training grounds.

The moment she stepped inside, waves of scorching heat rushed to greet her.

She looked up to see Lu Xuan and Qian Renxue already transformed into two brilliant streaks of light in midair, locked in a furious battle.

Their raging Soul Power fluctuations stained even the white horizon gold!

High above, the sky was divided into two sharply distinct seas of fire.

On one side burned the Solar Truefire of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, supremely fierce and blazing, unmatched in its dominance.

On the other burned the sacred fire of the Six-Winged Angel, pure and flawless, capable of purifying all things.

The two flames collided with a deafening boom.

Sparks scattered and fell like rain.

Yet with its absolute elemental advantage, Lu Xuan's Solar Truefire displayed an overwhelmingly aggressive nature.

Like a ravenous giant beast, it gnawed away at Qian Renxue's sacred fire, devouring it bit by bit.

"Blazing Divine Radiance!"

Lu Xuan cried out, and the second purple Soul Ring beneath his feet blazed with light.

In an instant, the phantom of a dazzling golden sun appeared behind him, its terrifying heat sending ripples of distortion through the surrounding space.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue refused to be outdone.

Her breathtakingly beautiful face was solemn as her third Soul Ring suddenly lit up behind her.

"Angel's Blessing!"

Accompanied by solemn chanting, a holy Six-Winged Angel apparition descended beside her, clasping its hands in devout prayer to bless her.

Brilliant golden radiance formed a halo around her entire body, instantly lifting her suppressed aura.

Both had laid their trump cards bare, unleashing their strongest enhancement Soul Skills!

"Sunflame Feathers!"

Lu Xuan beat his wings sharply.

The golden flames filling the sky transformed into dozens of densely packed fiery feathers, hurtling toward Qian Renxue like a meteor shower and sealing off every avenue of retreat.

Faced with this sky-blotting assault.

Qian Renxue abruptly folded the wings behind her, wrapping herself tightly within them.

The next instant, the raging fiery feathers came screaming toward her.

They passed straight through Qian Renxue's figure and blasted toward the ground below!

Lu Xuan's gaze sharpened. He hurriedly forced the missed fiery feathers to detonate in midair, turning them into a sea of fire to hold his opponent back.

Yet Qian Renxue's true body appeared directly behind Lu Xuan like a phantom.

"Take this!"

The girl's clear, sharp cry exploded beside his ear.

Holy Soul Power gathered furiously around her delicate fist.

Carrying terrifying fluctuations capable of dissolving all Soul Power, it became an unstoppable shock wave that smashed toward the center of Lu Xuan's back!

At that hairbreadth moment, the ink-black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring beneath Lu Xuan's feet suddenly shone.

"Solar Prominence Illusory Body!"

The heaven-defying Soul Skill from an eighteen-thousand-year-old Void Spiritflame Butterfly activated!

Lu Xuan's body became completely intangible in an instant. He seemed to merge with the void itself, leaving behind only an illusion composed of pure light and heat.

Qian Renxue's devastating punch, which she had been certain would land, passed straight through Lu Xuan's body without resistance, along with her entire figure.

It was as though she had punched empty air, and the tremendous momentum nearly threw her off balance!

As they passed through one another, Lu Xuan's calm voice sounded beside Qian Renxue's ear. "You've already lost."

Qian Renxue steadied herself in midair and whipped her head around, disbelief written across her face. "How is that possible?!"

"My third Soul Skill, Solar Prominence Illusory Body, doesn't just make me completely intangible for five seconds, granting immunity to all physical and energy attacks. Its deadliest feature is this!"

Lu Xuan turned around and pointed at her chest.

"The instant you passed through my body, I planted a solar flame seed inside you. If you don't believe me, take a look inside yourself."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue's heart jolted. She hurriedly closed her eyes and examined her body internally.

Sure enough!

Beside her heart lurked a golden flame seed radiating an aura of destruction.

It pulsed faintly in time with her heartbeat, like a ticking bomb ready to explode at any moment, poised to unleash its power!

Qian Renxue broke out in a cold sweat.

If that flame seed truly exploded inside her, its defense-ignoring true burn damage.

At best, it would destroy all her meridians and leave her gravely wounded, on the verge of death. At worst, she would be reduced to ashes on the spot!

She had never seen such an absurdly unfair Soul Skill.

Not only did it grant invincibility, but it could also deliver a lethal counterattack the instant an enemy struck.

Attacking first meant being unable to lock on; counterattacking was courting death—this was simply an inescapable death trap!

Good heavens, how did anyone come up with such an infuriating mechanic?

Was nobody going to nerf this guy's Soul Skill?!

"I lost." Qian Renxue took a deep breath and dismissed her Martial Soul.

This was the first time in her life that she had tasted defeat, but she accepted it wholeheartedly.

There was no helping it. Her own stats and mechanics were already top-tier.

But the freak before her was practically a walking rule-breaker.

The two reined in their auras and slowly descended to the ground.

The moment he landed, Lu Xuan suddenly felt a chill at the back of his neck. An extremely dangerous presence had appeared behind him.

Oh no, my life is over!

Goosebumps instantly erupted all over Lu Xuan's body.

He turned his head stiffly and saw Leng Yaozhu standing behind him, her arms crossed and her face expressionless.

Lu Xuan hurriedly forced an ingratiating smile. "Sis, what's wrong?"

"You have the nerve to ask what's wrong?!" Leng Yaozhu's temper flared. She reached out and grabbed Lu Xuan by the ear, scolding him in exasperation at his failure to live up to her hopes.

"Do you have any idea how much effort I put into creating this opportunity for you? And what did you do? You brought the girl straight here to fight?! And you were so heavy-handed!"

"Hurry up and remove that flame seed from her body!"

Only after saying this did Leng Yaozhu release him with an irritated huff.

Clutching his ear, now red from being pinched, Lu Xuan snapped his fingers with a woebegone expression, dissolving the solar flame seed beside Qian Renxue's heart into nothing.

Having finished scolding her younger brother, Leng Yaozhu turned around. The anger on her face instantly melted into a smile as gentle as a spring breeze as she looked at Qian Renxue. "Now then, you're called Xiao Xue, right?"

"Yes, Your Eminence Heavenly Phoenix. My name is Qian Renxue."

Having witnessed this demigod's imposing presence, Qian Renxue bowed slightly, her voice filled with genuine respect.

"Oh, don't call me Your Eminence. Just call me Sis, like Xiao Xuan does! Such a distant form of address will make me feel old." Leng Yaozhu smiled and waved a hand.

"All right, Sis," Qian Renxue replied obediently.

"What a good girl." Leng Yaozhu stepped forward and stroked Qian Renxue's brilliant golden hair, her eyes full of affection.

Feeling its softness beneath her palm, Leng Yaozhu silently nodded to herself.

I have to say, this little blonde's hair really does feel wonderful!

And she's beautiful, too. What can I say? My taste is just that good!
