Chapter 317: Wind Thunder Break, Thunder Fire Blast, Killing Yue Guan!
From the changes in Yu Luomian's body, it was obvious that he had absorbed a Wind Attribute right arm Spirit Bone and a Fire Attribute left arm Spirit Bone, perfectly complementing his own Thunder Attribute.
Seizing this fleeting opening, Yu Luomian activated both Spirit Bones at the same time and swung his two Dragon Claws at Yue Guan, who was being held in place by Yu Tianlin.
Right Claw, Wind Thunder Break. Left Claw, Thunder Fire Blast.
With no reservation at all, Yu Luomian erupted with his full power, carrying overwhelming killing intent.
He did not know why Yue Guan had suddenly come to intercept them, nor what Spirit Hall was truly plotting behind this move. But once Yu Luomian had revealed his Spirit Bone in front of Yue Guan, even if it was only to keep that secret from leaking, he had already decided to kill him.
"Yu! Luo! Mian!"
Yue Guan had never expected that Yu Luomian, a mere level ninety-two Titled Douluo, could unleash such terrifying attacks. The two Dragon Claws gave him an intense sense of mortal danger, so strong that he no longer used the mocking title "Old Second Yu." Instead, he hurriedly redirected the golden tornado formed by the petal crescent blades of his Ninth Spirit Ability, trying to block Yu Luomian's strike.
As for the remaining Thunderballs from Yu Tianlin's attack, they no longer mattered. After the constant cancellation from his Ninth Spirit Ability, the original four thousand Thunderballs had already been reduced to fewer than five hundred. Even if those struck him directly, they would at most wound him. They might not even cause serious damage.
Compared to that, Yu Luomian's Dragon Claws were truly fatal.
Unfortunately, although Yue Guan's reaction was fast enough, it was still too rushed. In addition, his Ninth Spirit Ability had already been weakened considerably by the earlier clash with Yu Tianlin, so tragedy became unavoidable.
To be honest, even if Yue Guan had unleashed his Ninth Spirit Ability in its complete state, he still might not have been able to block Yu Luomian's Spirit Bone empowered Dragon Claws. Now that it had already been weakened, the result was even more certain.
The two Dragon Claws slammed into the golden tornado. After only a brief stalemate, a violent roar exploded through the air, and the golden tornado was torn apart on the spot.
His Ninth Spirit Ability had been broken by force. Even with Yue Guan's level ninety-five strength, he still suffered backlash. Although the stiffening lasted for only an instant, that single instant was enough to decide everything.
"Ah!"
With one final shrill scream, Yue Guan could only watch helplessly as the two differently colored Dragon Claws crashed into him. Cyan Wind Attribute energy, scarlet Fire Attribute energy, and blue-purple Thunder Attribute energy erupted at the same time, completely engulfing his body.
Seeing that scene, the tension in Yu Tianlin's mind finally eased. The moment he relaxed, however, the emptiness from overusing his spirit power came crashing down on him. His legs gave way, and he nearly collapsed on the spot. Fortunately, Ye Lingling quickly caught him.
While using her Fifth Spirit Ability to restore Yu Tianlin's spirit power, Ye Lingling asked anxiously, "Tianlin, did Grand Elder win? Is that Chrysanthemum Douluo dead?"
"He should be dead," Yu Tianlin said as he quickly pulled two rolls of dragon ganoderma leaf from his dragon pattern ring and stuffed them into his mouth. Under the combined recovery effects of the dragon ganoderma leaf and the Nine Heart Begonia, some color gradually returned to his pale face.
The despair in Yue Guan's scream just now had not been fake. He most likely had no remaining means left.
Sure enough, as the violent tri-colored energy in the air gradually dissipated, Yue Guan's figure had completely vanished. Not even bones, much less ashes, remained.
Good. Very good.
This way, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the two Ploral Still Domain, would disappear from this world forever.
To be honest, Yu Tianlin had always been wary of that Martial Soul Fusion Skill. After all, it was a skill jointly unleashed by two level ninety-five Titled Douluo. He had even wondered whether his grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, could forcibly break free if he were trapped inside it. But now, there was no longer any need to worry about that.
On the other side, after confirming that Yue Guan had been annihilated, the massive blue-purple giant dragon in the sky rapidly shrank and returned to human form.
After taking a slight breath, the killing intent on Yu Luomian's face slowly faded, replaced by solemnity. He quickly came to Yu Tianlin's side and said in a deep voice, "The commotion from this battle was too great. Even if this place is remote, it has probably already attracted attention. And now that Yue Guan died here, we absolutely cannot stay. We need to leave immediately."
Yu Tianlin nodded. Yue Guan was an Elder of Spirit Hall. His death was no small matter. Leaving as soon as possible was indeed the safest choice. Even though Yu Tianlin's condition was poor, there was no time left for rest.
After giving only a brief explanation, Yu Luomian directly used his spirit power to carry both Yu Tianlin and Ye Lingling. Dragon wings spread behind him, and he immediately chose a direction and flew off at high speed.
Out of caution, Yu Luomian did not stop after crossing just one region. He flew all the way across the territory of a subordinate kingdom of the Star Luo Empire and only came to a halt after entering the lands of a subordinate kingdom of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Even this was only because he wanted to give Yu Tianlin, whose condition was still unstable, some time to recover. Otherwise, he would have continued flying.
"This is enough."
After finding an ordinary forest with no Spirit Beasts around, Yu Luomian descended with the two of them.
"Spirit Hall seems to have been tracking our movements the entire time. To be safe, we should not enter any city for now. We'll have to make do here. You two recover your spirit power through meditation. I'll stand guard."
Hearing that, Yu Tianlin did not stand on ceremony. The moment he landed, he sat down cross-legged and began meditating. Ye Lingling did the same.
During the flight, Ye Lingling had never stopped restoring Yu Tianlin's spirit power. Combined with the two rolls of dragon ganoderma leaf he had consumed, he had already recovered roughly forty percent of his spirit power even without meditating, and his condition had improved greatly. Still, he needed to recover completely.
As for Ye Lingling, she had been continuously using Nine Heart Begonia throughout the escape. Her own consumption had also been considerable, so she needed to meditate and restore herself as well.
Seeing the two of them quickly enter a meditative state, Yu Luomian spread out his senses and guarded the surroundings. At the same time, his brows remained deeply furrowed as he thought over everything that had happened.
Was Yue Guan's sudden attack his own personal action, or was it something ordered by Spirit Hall?
What role had Spirit Hall truly played in this matter, and what exactly were they trying to achieve?
"Was it simply because they found a chance to weaken our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"No matter what, I have to report this to Big Brother. Spirit Hall clearly harbors ill intent. The Clan must strengthen its defenses."
