Chu Qing pressed down on the Frost Bear's paws with both hands, and began to beat it with his other two hands. Suddenly, a white cross mark appeared on his chest.
He looked down and heard a whooshing sound coming from ahead, and he used his Soul Power to defend himself.
The Thousand Strike Spear arrived in response, striking his chest with a thud before bouncing away.
For a moment, Shen Ce and Xue Shiqi, who were still speeding along, froze in their tracks.
Those watching from the sidelines were also speechless.
The Thousand Strike Spear, known for its sharpness, struck Chu Qing's chest without even scratching him.
Shen Ce raised his hand and his Third Soul Ring lit up as he unleashed his third Soul Skill, Thousand Spin Slash.
The Thousand Strike Spear, sent flying backward by the impact, spun around, forming a shimmering silver halo. Controlled by Shen Ce, it flew in a half-circle before attacking Chu Qing's arm, which was gripping the Frost Bear.
Xue Shiqi also leaped high, activating his First Soul Ring.
Mountain-Splitting Cut.
The Golden Thread Silver Shears Halberd instantly grew tenfold, and he held it with both hands, as if wielding a giant pillar, and slashed down at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing could have easily dodged it, but instead, he raised both hands and chose to catch the blade with his bare hands. With a snap, he clasped his hands together and steadily caught the crescent blade on the Golden Thread Silver Shears Halberd.
Xue Shiqi swung his sword downwards with all his might, only to find that his Golden Thread Silver Shears Halberd was as if welded to Chu Qing's hand, unable to be chopped or pulled back.
As for the Thousand Strike Spear that came from the side, Chu Qing's scorpion tail moved with incredible speed, almost impossible for the human eye to catch, and with a clang, he knocked the Thousand Strike Spear away.
Xue Shiqi activated his second Soul Skill, Half-Moon Cut. Energy surged on the Moon Blade of the Golden Thread Silver Shears Halberd as he aimed to strike Chu Qing's face and break free.
However, Chu Qing loosened his grip and used his Soul Power to slap the energy Moon Blade back into his hands, dispersing it completely.
Xue Shiqi's eyes widened in shock.
"What?"
"You just wiped out my powerful Soul Skill like that?"
Are you even human?
Shen Ce, who was speeding forward from the side, suddenly stopped, slid behind Chu Qing, and retracted his Thousand Strike Spear.
His Fifth Soul Ring lit up, summoning the Thousand Strike Spear, which floated in front of him and then transformed into a streak of silver light, instantly soaring into the sky.
He activated the signature Soul Skill of the Thousand Strike Spear Martial Soul, Thousand Strike Roaring Descent.
In an instant, the Thousand Strike Spear in the sky split into a hundred spears.
Meanwhile, a dense array of white cross-shaped marks appeared on Chu Qing's back.
Shen Ce was still somewhat bothered by this, because his Fifth Soul Ring was not old enough, so his Soul Skill could not produce a thousand Thousand Strike Spear, but there was nothing he could do about it.
At the same time, An Lengye also activated her Head Soul Bone, which came from a 20,000-year-old Frost Bear. The Soul Bone's Soul Skill was called Frost Fury, which could significantly enhance the power of ice-attribute Soul Skill.
After activating her Soul Bone, her long blue hair turned white, and even her eyes turned into a chilling, icy white.
Her third Soul Skill then lit up.
Heavenly Frost Claw.
A pair of bear paws gleamed with a cold light, and ten icy white claw blades shot out, all of them pouring down on Chu Qing who was standing nearby.
The Heavenly Frost Claw caused no damage whatsoever, but instead dispersed into wisps of frost mist during the explosion, instantly spreading out and engulfing Chu Qing and the Frost Bear.
Seeing the frost and mist condense before him, Xue Shiqi immediately released the Golden Thread Silver Shears Halberd and retreated.
Chu Qing was surprised to find that the bear paw she was holding suddenly turned into frost mist, and the Frost Bear took the opportunity to follow Xue Shiqi and retreat out of the range of the frost mist.
The frost and mist froze completely, instantly trapping Chu Qing in place.
The frozen mist obscured the view, but the hundred Thousand Strike Spear in the sky had already been marked and aimed at Chu Qing, raining down in dense array.
After being sacrificed by the Ice Jade Scorpion swarm and absorbing the Snow Empress, Chu Qing gained the Ultimate Ice and Snow attribute, so An Lengye's Heavenly Frost Claw could not restrain him.
The scorpion tail behind him twitched, instantly shattering the ice and dancing rapidly, leaving afterimages as it deflected the incoming Thousand Strike Spear, sending it hurtling to either side.
Shen Ce couldn't believe his eyes; Chu Qing's scorpion tail was incredibly fast.
An Lengye was also shocked. Chu Qing's aura was suppressing her. She was worried that the Frost Claws wouldn't be able to trap Chu Qing, so she activated her Soul Bone to amplify it, but she didn't expect that it still wouldn't be able to trap him for even a second longer.
" Sisi."
As she shouted, the Spirit Rhinoceros Shield immediately revealed a crack.
After exchanging a glance with Chen Hanyu, Yan Sisi unleashed her signature Soul Skill.
Her First Soul Ring lit up, shining with a bright yellow light.
First Soul Skill: Siren's Whisper.
She opened her mouth and sang silently, her eyes involuntarily turning slightly red.
Chu Qing, who was far away, was immediately controlled and stunned. The speed of the Ice Jade Scorpion became extremely slow, and the remaining Thousand Strike Spear shot through the gaps and hit his back, penetrating three or four centimeters.
Chu Qing looked at Yan Sisi, whose face was only half visible inside the Spirit Rhinoceros Shield, with a strange Yan Sisi. Right now, he could still hear the lewd moans echoing in his ears, like a succubus whispering in his ear.
It doesn't cause any real harm, but it's a disruptive skill that tests one's mental fortitude.
Chu Qing's heart began to race, and his blood surged.
This also successfully attracted the attention of the Snow Empress and Ice Empress in the Sea of Consciousness, and the two women looked at each other with tender eyes.
Xue Shiqi seized the opportunity, rushed forward, kicked off Chu Qing's chest with both legs, and leaped backward to use the momentum to snatch the Golden Thread Silver Shears Halberd from Chu Qing's hand.
Before even landing, he immediately unleashed his second Soul Skill, Half-Moon Cut. Energy surged on the crescent blade as he wielded his Golden Thread Silver Shears Halberd, turning around in mid-air to unleash a Moon Blade at Chu Qing.
The Moon Blade struck Chu Qing, knocking him back two steps as he was caught off guard.
Xue Shiqi was astonished. Although it was only a hundred-year-old Soul Skill, how come it couldn't even break through the skin?
His Third Soul Ring shone with a magnificent purple light as he unleashed his strongest Soul Skill, Gold and Silver Intertwined.
The few strands of gold that had evolved on his Silver Scissor Halberd emitted dazzling golden light, which, together with the Silver Scissor Halberd's own radiance, transformed into two intertwined beams of halberd energy, cutting through everything around them.
He swept his halberd horizontally, and Chu Qing swung his arm downwards to block it. Although he managed to block the Golden Thread Silver Shears Halberd, the two intertwined golden and silver halberd energies still passed over his arm.
Each of the drifting streaks felt incredibly heavy, striking Chu Qing's body. Where the two streaks intersected, Chu Qing felt an even stronger cutting force, leaving red cross marks on his face.
It can be said with certainty that with Xue Shiqi's cultivation level of only three rings, facing a supreme Soul Saint like him would undoubtedly be incredibly destructive.
Xue Shiqi attacked again with his halberd, the golden and silver halberd energies intertwining and striking relentlessly.
Shen Ce also joined the attack. The Thousand Strike Spear stuck in Chu Qing's back dissipated until only one remained. He raised his hand and pulled it back into his hand, and his first and second Soul Skill lit up at the same time.
First Soul Skill: Qian Jun.
Second Soul Skill: Thousand Strike Thrust.
Combining two techniques into one, Thousand Jun Thrusting Strike!
He seized the opportunity, his body erupting with dazzling silver light as he shot out, leaving a trail of silver shadows in his wake.
Chu Qing sensed the white cross mark appearing behind him, but if he dodged, Xue Shiqi, who was fighting fiercely in front of him, might not be able to react in time and would be knocked to the ground by a spear.
He simply endured it.
Although his defense was very high, Shen Ce's attacks were concentrated on the tip of his spear.
With a soft splatter, blood gushed out as the sharpness of the Thousand Strike Spear pierced through his body, flesh, and reached his Soul Bone.
In that instant, testing the hardness, Shen Ce was somewhat surprised. He had planned to avoid Chu Qing's internal organs and spine before he threw this blow, but now it was as if he had stabbed into an iron plate. Could it be that Chu Qing's body structure was different from that of ordinary people? He didn't understand.
Chu Qing felt a sharp pain in his eyes. He controlled his strength, afraid that he might kill Xue Shiqi with a single slap.
He threw a punch at Xue Shiqi, and his scorpion tail lashed out at Shen Ce behind him.
However, before his attack could arrive, An Lengye had already released his first Soul Skill, Ice Shield.
She had a deep understanding of Chu Qing 'Chu Qing defense and strength from their previous close-quarters combat, and knew that the Frost Bear would shatter at the slightest touch if Chu Qing exerted even a little force.
Therefore, it was prepared long ago.
The chill in the air instantly condensed into two Ice Shield, blocking Xue Shiqi and Shen Ce.
At that moment, while Chu Qing was attacking Xue Shiqi and Shen Ce, Chen Hanyu also made her move.
She swapped places with an Umbrella Spirit and landed in mid-air to Chu Qing's side, her Second Soul Ring glowing yellow.
Ice Soul Piercing Cavalry Thrust.
The Cold Jade Painted Screen Umbrella in her hand closed, and ice crystals condensed on it, forming a knight's lance.
She transformed into a valiant ice rider and, taking advantage of the moment when Chu Qing Chu Qing was distracted, charged towards him.
Chu Qing's fist and scorpion tail shattered An Lengye's Ice Shield, striking Xue Shiqi and Shen Ce, who were defending themselves with the Golden Thread Silver Shears Halberd and the Thousand Strike Spear, sending them flying backward, coughing up blood.
Chen Hanyu's attack arrived as well; the Ice Soul Umbrella Lance stabbed fiercely towards Chu Qing's neck.
With a clang, the Ice Soul Umbrella Lance shattered into pieces, leaving a large red mark on Chu Qing's neck.
Chu Qing turned around to look, but what was turning his head even faster than the lashing Ice Jade Scorpion was.
As an excellent Agility Attack System Soul Master, Chen Hanyu immediately fled a thousand miles away after her first attack failed. She then switched places with the Umbrella Spirit Bird that had stayed behind the Spirit Rhinoceros Shield.
The scorpion's tail pierced through the Umbrella Spirit bird, causing the air to explode.
Back behind the Spirit Rhinoceros Shield, Chen Hanyu's face was still filled with shock. The oppressive force of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion that had struck her earlier made it almost impossible for her to breathe, and she was still feeling a bit palpitations.
She frowned slightly and said:
"My cultivation level is too low. Even if I had a chance to launch a sneak attack, I wouldn't be able to break through his defenses."
"If you can find a way to force out his Soul Ring, maybe I can hurt him."
Yang Tian stepped forward, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and said:
"I'll do it."
An Lengye stopped him and said:
"Let's wait a little longer, let Shen Ce and the others wear down Chu Qing a bit more."
He then looked at Yan Sisi, who was still maintaining her first Soul Skill.
" Sisi, take a break first, and then fully cooperate with Yang Tian and Xiao Yu."
Yan Sisi nodded, and the Spirit Rhinoceros Shield closed up again.
Xue Li unleashed her first Soul Skill Swan's Healing. She flapped her four wings, sending green feathers billowing towards the injured Xue Shiqi and Shen Ce.
Healing energy surged into their bodies, and the two quickly recovered. They wiped away the blood and stood up with a somersault.
Shen Ce, Xue Shiqi, and Frost Bear regrouped, intending to continue to wear down Chu Qing as much as possible.
To their surprise, although Chu Qing hadn't received treatment from Xue Li, the injuries on his back were healing at a visible speed.
Xue Shiqi gritted his teeth and gasped.
" Chu Qing, you're such a pervert!"
He felt a sense of despair; after struggling for so long, he realized he hadn't done any damage and was almost ready to give up.
Chu Qing smiled and said:
"I'm Defense System, so isn't it normal that I'm tougher than you Power Attack System?"
