The Golden Sacred Dragon, having failed to kill Meng Shu, turned around and prepared to attack Meng Shu again. But just as it stood up, several golden railings suddenly appeared in the air, blocking it back.
It looked around and found a golden magic circle appearing beneath its feet. Countless golden bars rose up and closed in the air, forming a cage that trapped the Golden Sacred Dragon in the middle.
The Golden Sacred Dragon attempted to break through Meng Shu's Dragon-Trapping Prison with its claws, but its indestructible weapons were ineffective against the Dragon-Trapping Prison and had no effect whatsoever.
"You brat! My Dragon-Trapping Prison can trap it in this enclosed environment for a minute, making it unable to move." Meng Shu was sweating profusely, as casting the Dragon-Trapping Prison was now extremely difficult for him.
"Show us what you've got! Otherwise, we're all going to die here."
"Alright, Senior Meng! The Golden Sacred Dragon's vital point is located on its lower abdomen, which is usually well-protected and will never be exposed easily," Qi Ling said to Meng Shu as she approached him. "However, there is one opportunity when it will definitely reveal a weakness!"
"Oh? When?" Meng Shu asked.
"That's when it unleashes its full power, pouncing from the air! That's when it's at its strongest, and also its weakest!" Qi Ling said. "As long as we seize that moment, we can strike its vital point!"
Meng Shu recalled the posture of the Golden Sacred Dragon when it pounced on him. It was indeed wide open, revealing its full strength. If it could maintain this posture for even a second, he could use his strongest Soul Skill to strike its vital point.
"But to expose its weakness, we must use ourselves as bait!" Qi Ling continued, "Moreover, the Golden Sacred Dragon has formidable defenses; even a direct attack on its vital points won't kill it instantly! Facing it directly would be extremely risky!"
Meng Shu stroked his beard and said, "It's a pity that my Shadow Puppet can only be used once a day, otherwise I could use it to lure it into a trap!"
"You don't need to worry about being the bait, senior. I have my own methods," Qi Ling said confidently. "You just need to be prepared and unleash your strongest attack on it!"
"After you release the Dragon-Trapping Prison, I'll lure it into attacking from the front, then make it pause for a second! That's our only chance of winning!"
Meng Shu frowned and said, "Are you really confident? If you make one mistake, you will have absolutely no chance of survival under the attack of the Golden Sacred Dragon!"
"Please rest assured, senior, I am absolutely confident!" Qi Ling said with a smile.
Seeing Qi Ling's spirited demeanor, Meng Shu hardened his heart and said, "Alright! Young friend, you're full of youthful vigor, while this old man is being too hesitant! Very well, I'll take the gamble with you!"
Immediately, all eight Soul Ring on Meng Shu's body lit up, with the deepest black Soul Ring swirling and disappearing into his Dragon Staff.
As he activated his strongest Soul Ring, Meng Shu's Dragon Staff faintly emitted a black light, and the surging Soul Power fluctuations displayed the astonishing cultivation level befitting Soul Douluo.
"Little friend, are you ready? I'm about to unlock the Dragon-Trapping Prison!" Meng Shu said.
Qi Ling stepped forward and arrived at the Dragon-Trapping Prison, addressing the Golden Sacred Dragon directly. "Alright, please begin, senior!"
After he finished speaking, the golden light of the Dragon-Trapping Prison began to fade and eventually disappeared completely.
The Golden Sacred Dragon, having been trapped for half a day, was now in a rage. No longer caring who was in front of it, it only wanted to tear everything in front of it to shreds.
Therefore, Qi Ling, who was standing in front of it, became its best target. It roared, leaped up, and charged towards Qi Ling.
Facing the Ferocious Beast attacking with all its might, Qi Ling showed no panic. After confirming that the Golden Sacred Dragon had exposed its vital point, he suddenly flicked his hand, and the Immortal-Binding Rope was already aimed at the Golden Sacred Dragon.
As a flawed divine artifact, the Immortal-Binding Rope is naturally not limited to just that one ability; it can be said to have endless uses.
One of its functions is to forcibly imprison the target in front of you for one second!
To activate this ability, all the power of the Immortal-Binding Rope must be activated, at the cost of which it will be damaged and cannot be used again until a repair method is found.
But for now, one second is enough!
The Immortal Immortal-Binding Rope, radiating golden light, seemed to come alive after leaving Qi Ling's hands, Entanglement around the entire body of the Golden Sacred Dragon and binding it tightly.
"Senior Meng, now's the time!" Seeing that the Golden Sacred Dragon had been bound, Qi Ling didn't delay any longer. She lay back, giving Meng Shu room to maneuver.
"You beast, prepare to die!" Meng Shu roared, and black light erupted from his Dragon Staff, forming two giant black dragons that lunged at the Golden Sacred Dragon.
Eighth Soul Skill: Abyssal Demon Twin Dragon Strangulation Array!
Two black dragons coiled around each other, heading towards the exposed vital point of the Golden Sacred Dragon. This represented the strongest attack of the Soul Douluo, its power astonishing, leaving even Qi Ling, who was standing nearby, deeply impressed.
Struck by the twin dragons, the Golden Sacred Dragon let out a mournful cry, seemingly enduring immense pain.
"Is it... is it done?" Meng Shu asked weakly, supporting himself with his Dragon Staff.
The Eighth Soul Skill just now had exhausted all of Meng Shu's Soul Power. If this move hadn't worked, then they would only have one path left: death.
After the two black dragons disappeared into the sky, the body of the Golden Sacred Dragon appeared before them. On its incredibly sturdy golden holy armor, there was a terrible blood hole, clearly indicating that it had suffered a very serious injury.
"We did it! We did it!" Meng Yiran cheered immediately upon seeing this, but then she noticed that her grandfather's face not only did not improve, but instead became even more ashen.
"Damn it, this beast is so tough!" Meng Shu gasped. "I never thought that my full-force attack would only break its golden armor, failing to deliver Fatal Strike!"
"Am I, Dragon Duke Meng Shu, destined to perish here today?"
Just as Meng Shu was in despair, Qi Ling suddenly stood up from the ground. He stretched out his right fist, with a purple Soul Ring Entanglement around it, and a huge amount of Soul Power began to gather on it.
"No, Senior Meng, we have won this battle!" Qi Ling said, throwing her right fist at the Golden Sacred Dragon, aiming directly at the wound that Meng Shu had inflicted.
Second Soul Skill: Tyrant Dragon Fist!
The characteristics of the Tyrant Dragon Fist are its unparalleled ferocity and boundless destructive power, capable of delivering a complete and utterly devastating blow to everything in its path!
Qi Ling had previously felt that the power of the Tyrant Dragon Fist was not concentrated enough. Although the damage was high, the power was wasted in a serious way! But unexpectedly, the characteristics of the Tyrant Dragon Fist were brought to their fullest potential at this moment!
The overwhelming force of the punch was poured into the Golden Sacred Dragon's body through its wound. Almost instantly, the Golden Sacred Dragon stopped moving, and for the first time, fear showed in its Middle God.
That is the most direct fear of death for a living being! It is the perception that one's own life has ended, and the last attachment to this world!
