Chapter 393: The Defeat of the Peerless Dragon and Snake
The Dragon Head Staff and the Snake Staff intertwined, appearing somewhat ethereal as they instantly expanded in size, engulfing Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang. As the fifteen spirit rings from the two of them fused into the formation, brilliant light erupted.
After the light dissipated, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang had vanished, along with their Martial Souls, the Dragon Head Staff and Snake Staff. In their place was a creature over ten meters long, neither quite a dragon nor quite a snake. For now, it could only be called a Dragon Snake.
The reason for this description was simple. The creature formed by the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple's Martial Soul Fusion Skill only had two claws. It had two more claws than a snake, but fewer than a dragon, placing it perfectly between the two.
After the Martial Soul Fusion Skill took shape, a powerful spirit power aura was released from the Dragon Snake, giving off the feeling that it could fully rival a Titled Douluo.
"Is this Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Dragon Snake Combined Attack?" Yu Tianlin mused inwardly as he watched the scene on the arena. "It is indeed not bad, but I'm afraid it still can't defeat Yang Wudi."
How should one describe the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple? It was extremely similar to Serpent Lance Douluo She Long's Martial Soul True Body.
Serpent Lance Douluo She Long's Martial Soul was the Serpent Lance, while the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple's Martial Souls were the Dragon Head Staff and Snake Staff. They belonged to the same general category.
After Serpent Lance Douluo She Long activated his Martial Soul True Body, he transformed his weapon Martial Soul into a beast-like form, creating a two-headed giant snake. The Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, on the other hand, formed a massive Dragon Snake. The two looked quite similar, and even their power was close.
Under these circumstances, it was naturally very difficult for the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple to defeat Yang Wudi.
After all, when Yang Wudi fought Serpent Lance Douluo She Long, he had been able to hold his own completely and even slightly suppress She Long. Now that he was facing the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple, whose Martial Soul Fusion Skill was extremely similar to Serpent Lance Douluo She Long's form, it was naturally not a problem for him.
Moreover, because the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple had activated their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, although their combat power could reach the level of Serpent Lance Douluo She Long, it would also consume a tremendous amount of their spirit power. If they could not end the battle quickly with a burst of strength, they would eventually lose.
Sure enough, just as Yu Tianlin had predicted, facing Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang, who had transformed into the giant Dragon Snake, Yang Wudi did not retreat in the slightest. Instead, he directly activated his Martial Soul True Body and charged forward with an unyielding aura, thrusting his spear.
Seeing Yang Wudi, an eighty-fourth-ranked Spirit Douluo, dare to be so arrogant, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang felt that he was being somewhat overconfident. The Dragon Snake swept its tail out, lashing toward Yang Wudi.
Seeing this, Yang Wudi did not dodge. He raised his aura to the extreme, then let out a low roar and stabbed the Dragon Snake's tail with his Spirit Breaking Spear.
With a soft thump, the Dragon Snake's tail was directly pierced through by Yang Wudi. The black flames coiling around the Spirit Breaking Spear also began to erode outward from the wound.
Because they were in the Martial Soul Fusion Skill state, the expressions of the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple could not be seen. If they could have been seen, their faces would surely have been filled with astonishment.
How could this be?
The giant Dragon Snake they had transformed into through their Martial Soul Fusion Skill possessed the characteristics of a weapon Martial Soul, so its defense was not low. Yet why had it been pierced through directly?
Without giving the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple time to think, Yang Wudi immediately followed up with another spear thrust after his first successful strike.
Having already experienced it once, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang naturally did not want to suffer the same attack again. They hastily whipped their tail aside, avoiding Yang Wudi's spear, then retreated a little and opened some distance.
However, with their retreat, Yang Wudi's aura grew even stronger, and he continued his fierce assault.
When fighting a Spirit Master like Yang Wudi, one must never retreat. The more one retreated, the more energized he became. Therefore, regardless of whether one could win or not, one had to fight him to the end.
The Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple immediately fell into a disadvantage. For a time, they could only parry, with no strength left to counterattack.
Yang Wudi single-handedly suppressing the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple was noticed by many people, and exclamations of surprise rose from all sides.
"This Clan Master of the Four Attributes Clan is actually this powerful?!"
"That spirit power fluctuation... he shouldn't even be rank eighty-five yet, but he can already suppress the Peerless Dragon and Snake's Martial Soul Fusion Skill by himself. If he becomes a Titled Douluo, wouldn't that be heaven-defying?"
"Breaking through to Titled Douluo is not that easy."
"Alas, it seems the Four Attributes Clan is stable. In any case, our Clan definitely can't win if we go up. Let's look at the other three arenas."
Seeing the strength displayed by Yang Wudi, many Clans below the arena felt that they had no hope of defeating the Four Attributes Clan, so they all shifted their attention to the other three arenas, greatly increasing the pressure on those three.
On the arena, the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple grew more and more helpless as the battle continued.
Their initial underestimation had caused them to fall into a disadvantage, and after that, they were suppressed by Yang Wudi from beginning to end, with almost no chance to counterattack.
During this time, the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple also unleashed the potent toxins they possessed, hoping to turn the tide with poison. Unfortunately, Yang Wudi was not afraid of poison at all. Playing with poison in front of him was simply showing off one's meager skill before an expert, and the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple's poison had no effect whatsoever.
Because of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple's spirit power was rapidly depleting. Under these circumstances, they were unable to secure victory.
Knowing they could not turn the tide, the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple seized an opportunity and directly jumped off the arena. A mixed male and female voice then came from the Dragon Snake's head.
"We concede! All members of the Dragon Snake Clan, come down!"
Since the Dragon Snake Clan chose to retreat on its own, the Four Attributes Clan did not press the matter. After all, the Four Attributes Clan was the defending side and still needed to continuously face wave after wave of challengers. Being able to preserve as much strength as possible was naturally the best outcome.
After descending from the arena, the giant Dragon Snake phantom dissipated, and the figures of Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang reappeared.
Meng Shu was fine, but Chao Tianxiang's complexion was somewhat pale, clearly showing that her spirit power had been greatly depleted.
"Grandma." Seeing this, Meng Yiran, who had been waiting below the arena, quickly supported Chao Tianxiang. "Are you alright?"
Seeing the anxiety in Meng Yiran's eyes, Chao Tianxiang shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I just consumed too much spirit power."
"Alas." Meng Shu sighed. "I didn't expect Yang Wudi to be this powerful. It seems I underestimated the world before."
Because their Martial Soul Fusion Skill could rival a Titled Douluo, Meng Shu had always been proud in his heart. However, Yang Wudi had taught him a lesson today.
"Old man." Seeing that Meng Shu seemed a little disheartened, Chao Tianxiang said in a deep voice, "There is still plenty of time before the arena battle ends. We should do our best to recover our spirit power. We may still have a chance to fight again near the end."
