Chapter 72: chapter 72
"Brother, let's start the fight! Show your martial spirits!"
With Yu Tianheng away, Tianlin took charge of the team fight. Facing the Death Dragon, a soul beast rivaling a ten-thousand-year-old beast it would be foolish to fight alone It was far smarter to team up against it.
"Xiaotian take the front. Osler, Yufeng, provide support on both sides!" Dugu Yan a control-type soul master commanded the battlefield.
Although Qin Ming didn't act immediately his martial spirit was already activated and he was prepared to assist at any time.
"First soul skill frostbite edge !"
Tianlin leaped forward and slashed releasing a blast of intense cold aimed at the Death Dragon.
The Death Dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a black breath, which collided directly with Tianlin's cold air. His first soul skill once invincible, was now pushed back with overwhelming force.
Ye Lingling shouted anxiously "Xiaotian, be careful! That's the ultimate move of the Death Dragon, the Breath of death. It separates the soul and body of anyone hit, and the Dragon can attack and devour the separated soul. It's a terrifying skill."
[TL: separating there body and soul through they're stinky breath]
"What a powerful move Teleport!" Tianlin reacted quickly using his teleportation ability to narrowly avoid the attack.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Tianlin evade the deadly blow.
Although Tianlin's attack had no effect, it successfully caught the attention of the Death Dragon. At that moment, Osler and Yufeng appeared at its left and right sides moving with incredible speed and activating their newly acquired soul skills.
"Third soul skill, Leopard Shadow Clone!"
"Third soul skill, Dark Wind!"
On one side, Osler unleashed a phantom clone to attack physically, while on the other, Yufeng conjured a terrifying storm that could attack the soul. An ordinary soul master or beast would struggle to resist such a pincer attack.
Unfortunately, their opponent was the Death Dragon that are comparable to a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast The Death Dragon swatted away Osler's phantom body with its powerful tail and hit his real body with force sending him flying and knocking down several trees before he stopped.
The Dark Wind did damage its soul but the Dragon wasn't picky. It devoured both meat and souls, so while its body was tough, its soul was equally formidable.
"Roar!" The Death Dragon roared, nearly causing Yufeng to suffer a backlash on his soul but Luckily, Yufeng could fly and he managed to evade the attack just in time.
"This soul beast isn't just powerful—it can also attack the soul. Its physical defense and special defense are both maxed out It seems to have no weaknesses It's just too strong" Tianlin remarked
"Don't give up, everyone. I'll help you! First soul skill: Green Scale Red Poison. Second soul skill: Green Scale Blue Poison!" Dugu Yan activated her skills combining the Ice, Fire, and Green Scale Dragon powers and releasing both her first and second soul skills on everyone.
Although Dugu Yan was a control-type soul master, her first two skills were supportive The first soul skill, Red Phosphorus Poison, boosted attack power and speed by 20% while the second, Blue Phosphorus Poison, paralyzed and increased defense by 30%.
These skills' effects were almost as strong as the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's, though with side effects—detoxification was required after the battle, or the body would be harmed by the toxins. She could only use them once a day, or the toxins would erode her body.
For others this might be a disadvantage, but for Tianlin, it didn't matter. Thanks to the Eight Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Tianlin's body was immune to poison.
At this moment, the Death Dragon took notice of Dugu Yan's martial soul—the Ice and Fire Green Scaled Dragon a sub-dragon species. If it could devour her it would gain significant benefits, so it charged at her without hesitation.
"Sister Yanzi, be careful!" Tianlin called out.
"Don't worry, even if it wants to eat me, it won't be that easy. Here's my third soul skill, the Green Scale Purple Poison!" Dugu Yan's body shimmered with purple light, and her Ice and Fire Green Scale Dragon unleashed a potent attack, releasing both blue and red poisons.
This third soul skill allowed her to double the release of her toxins, making it extremely dangerous even for Soul King-level opponents.
"The power of ice and fire? Very well, I'll do the same" Tianlin declared "Second soul skill Infernal Frost Dominion!"
Tianlin activated his second soul skill combining it with Dugu Yan's poison. In an instant the lower body of the Death Dragon was frozen in ice, while its upper body was engulfed in flames as if trapped in a hell of extreme heat and cold.
"Great auxiliary attack!" Qin Ming praised
While Tianlin and Dugu Yan couldn't fuse their martial spirits Tianlin's sword had immense attribute power. He could absorb his teammates' attributes to enhance himself and he could also channel his power into his allies, strengthening their attacks so his martial spirit was a perfect blend of offense and support.
"Nine-Hearted Flowering apple!" Ye Lingling wasn't idle either She activated her Nine-Hearted Begonia, which not only restored soul power but also boosted Tianlin and Dugu Yan's sustained combat capabilities.
"The kids are doing great. It's my turn now We can't let them wear themselves out" Qin Ming said as he prepared to act.
With five soul rings—two yellow and three purple—Qin Ming activated three of them at once.
Tianlin was surprised "Teacher Qin Ming is preparing to use three soul skills simultaneously! He seems to want to end it in one strike."
"Third soul skill: Fire Wolf's Fury. First soul skill: Gathering Qi. Fifth soul skill: Exploding Fire!"
Qin Ming's casting sequence was unconventional—he activated his third soul skill first, followed by the first and then the fifth. It wasn't until Tianlin understood his plan that he realized why.
The third soul skill, Fire Wolf's Fury, enhanced his strength, while the first, Qi Gathering condensed his soul power so it seemed Qin Ming's style was focused on explosive power, similar to Ma Hongjun's approach.
"Watch out!" Qin Ming shouted as he charged forward releasing a terrifying flame into the Death Dragon's mouth. The fire exploded shattering its head into pieces.
It was a devastating attack.
"Oh, Ming, that was too brutal! Now Gu Ran can't absorb the spirit ring" Zhou Yan complained to her boyfriend.
"Don't worry. The Death Drahon isn't fully dead yet. To finish it we need to destroy its body and soul otherwise, its flesh will regenerate soon" Qin Ming replied, turning to Gu Ran "It's time. Act quickly! Now is the moment when the Death Tyrannosaurus is most vulnerable."
Gu Ran whose martial soul had death attributes was the perfect person to handle the soul attack at this moment.
"Alright first soul skill: Bone Spurs!" Gu Ran wasted no time and releasing ten bone spurs that pierced the remaining soul energy of the Death Dragon.
A purple glow emerged and signaling the appearance of the soul ring so Gu Ran hurried over to absorb it.
