Chapter 18
You're too weak!
Having already discerned the true nature of Dai Mubai's second soul skill, Jing Tianming didn't want to waste any more time. He knew very well that his soul power reserves were inferior to Dai Mubai's; the difference in cultivation was undeniable. To use one's weakness against one's strength was something only a fool would do.
He's not like those two idiots, Feng Xiaotian and Qian Daoliu, who would try to take the Clear Sky Hammer head-on when they have a speed advantage!
Thinking this, he flicked his sword, and the Moon Golden Wheel hanging beside him shot out.
At the same time, the first spirit ring beneath his feet lit up again.
The Edge of the Moon!
The Moon Gold Wheel's blade was instantly coated with a layer of flowing light, resembling a crescent moon under the sunlight.
Dai Mubai was startled upon seeing this.
"It can even control flight!"
Zhao Wuji was even more astonished. The boy's first spirit ring lit up again. And judging from the situation, it was being used through the circular crescent blade. In other words, the boy's first spirit ring was accompanied by two spirit rings, the crescent blade acting as a ring within the golden orb.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a strange martial spirit.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar looked bewildered and confused. The form of the young man's martial soul was completely beyond their comprehension. Their teachers had never mentioned such a martial soul! However, this confusion was fleeting and they didn't care.
They were more concerned about the current battle situation and how Dai Mubai would respond next.
But Dai Mubai snorted coldly, and his first spirit ring lit up, instantly creating a white light shield around his body.
It was Dai Mubai's first soul skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier.
"Hmph, as if everyone else lacks defensive skills!"
"I'd like to see whose shield is stronger!" Dai Mubai said arrogantly, already eager to compare. He deliberately interrupted his second soul skill, puffing out his chest with confidence, clearly believing that he, with his higher realm and cultivation, was superior.
In the blink of an eye, the golden moon wheel came hurtling in like a bolt of lightning, crashing into the white light barrier with a soft thud.
"Sizzle!"
The sound was like metal slicing through glass, and a two-finger-wide, half-meter-long gash instantly appeared on the surface of the white light shield.
The waning moon vanished in an instant, rising again into the sky.
"How is this possible?" Dai Mubai was stunned for a moment, his face showing disbelief. But the next second, this disbelief suddenly turned into even more intense anger, his face flushed, and his eyes turned cold, all because of this.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke from not far away.
"this one?"
His tone was just as mocking as when he had previously ridiculed Jing Tianming.
Naked humiliation!
"Damn it!" Dai Mubai gritted his teeth instinctively. Seeing the Moon Golden Wheel that had risen into the air turn back again, he roared angrily, and his third spirit ring lit up instantly. "Third spirit skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
His muscles bulged out one by one.
And it was coated with a layer of gold.
Then, he suddenly twisted his body and threw a punch!
He wanted to prove himself with absolute strength, and also make this Jing Ke clearly understand just how big the gap was between a Great Soul Master and a Soul Venerable!
This also made the kid understand what it means to be the King of White Beasts, and what it means that the majesty of a king cannot be insulted!
Just because I haven't shown my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover!
Then, the Moon Wheel, which was flying at high speed in the air, suddenly accelerated its rotation, transforming into a silvery-white full moon. Its flight speed and power both increased dramatically, and the whistling sound of the wind could be clearly heard.
"!" Upon seeing this change, Dai Mubai, in his Beast Spirit Possession state, instinctively sensed danger and unleashed his first Soul Skill without hesitation.
White Tiger Protective Barrier.
The light shield, which had been torn, was repaired and stabilized in the blink of an eye.
Just then, the Moon Wheel roared overhead. Then, just as it was about to collide with the light barrier and the inner fist...
Without any warning, it suddenly split into three.
"???"
Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically.
However, it was too late.
"Pfft... Pfft... Pfft..." The three beams of light hit the target in succession, and the white light shield shattered instantly.
What followed was the sizzling sound of flesh and bone rubbing together.
"Ah!" Dai Mubai's tiger eyes widened almost instantly, blood vessels appeared in the whites of his eyes, and veins bulged all over his body.
"Sizzle... sizzle..." On the left and right sides, two beams of light slashed through the light shield with unstoppable force, grazing past the shoulders and mixing with conspicuous flesh and clothing fragments.
Before him was another beam of light, still spinning at high speed, inch by inch penetrating the gaps in his fist bones, constantly bringing excruciating pain.
"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier... Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation... Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave..." Under the life-or-death crisis, Dai Mubai erupted with a strong will to survive, successively using soul skills to maintain his own defense, while opening his mouth to spit out white light waves to weaken the impact of the light wheel.
Beneath their feet, a series of "plop plop..." sounds rippled through the ground, sending mud and grass clippings flying.
"Mu Bai... Boss Dai..." Zhao Wuji, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar all exclaimed in surprise.
It happened so suddenly that they didn't even have time to react.
"Pfft!" Zhao Wuji reacted quickly, stepping forward to save the person, but the next second...
A terrifying aura suddenly locked onto him.
Zhao Wuji jolted, instinctively stopping in his tracks. At the same time, he looked up in terror, only to see Chrysanthemum Douluo's dark, abyss-like pupils behind his golden mask. A Title Douluo? This person was actually a Title Douluo powerhouse!
He was terrified, his legs went weak and trembled uncontrollably, and he dared not move.
At the same time, two beams of light that swept past Dai Mubai landed on the field, instantly sending dirt and grass clippings flying.
In the blink of an eye, a third of the halo disappeared into the ground.
It was at this moment that the halo in front of Dai Mubai finally came to a standstill under the continuous impact of the white light waves, revealing its true form, and then flew up into the air.
Then, Dai Mubai deflated like a punctured balloon, his body suddenly relaxed, his feet wobbled, and he almost lost his balance.
He was panting heavily, drenched in sweat, his left hand covering his trembling right arm, which hung limply at his sides.
Fresh blood gushed and dripped continuously from the crack between his right index and middle fingers, staining the grass below red. Thick flesh was also sliced off from both sides of his shoulder, leaving it bloody.
His eyes still held fear, as if he had just escaped death.
so horrible!
If he weren't a Soul Master, and didn't possess a third and second Soul Skill to enhance his defense, and had used it in a timely manner, Dai Mubai had a premonition that he wouldn't even have time to unleash his second Soul Skill before being cleaved in two on the spot and dying a violent death.
How could the soul skill derived from the second soul ring of a thousand years be so powerful? He couldn't understand it.
The powerful force accompanying the initial strike was only one aspect; the continuous cutting force from the high-speed rotation was what truly terrified him. The former broke through his first soul skill's defense almost instantly, while the latter left his third soul skill struggling to cope.
"Is it because my third soul skill buffs the whole body, spreading out the defense, while this guy's second soul skill is a pinpoint breakthrough?"
The surge of adrenaline triggered by the life-or-death crisis greatly enhanced Dai Mubai's mental abilities, and he quickly came to this conclusion.
This kind of soul skill, with both high burst damage and sustained cutting ability, is simply too terrifying! He was still shaken. Is this the power of a second soul ring after a thousand years?
Just then, a voice suddenly came to my ear, calm yet cold, as if pronouncing a death sentence to a prisoner.
"You're too weak!"
