Chapter 138: We Unite Our Minds! Hell White Tiger—Hell Suppressing Strike! Crushing the Seven Treasure Combination!
"Titan Power!"
A golden flash surged across the girl's body, followed by a burst of blood-red light.
The full strength of Titan Power erupted, its terrifying aura enough to make one's heart tremble!
She leaped into the air, like a demon god of death from the underworld.
Her clawed hands bloomed with radiance, meeting the massive sword with a sky-splitting force!
"Four Skills Combination - Dark Gold Hell Shadow Piercing Strike!"
Darkness rippled; golden light broke the dawn.
Gravity reversed, shaking heaven and earth.
"BOOM—!"
Sword and Claw collided, and waves of smoke and shock exploded outward.
The impact shattered floor tiles, sending debris flying, and toppled surrounding walls.
"Bang!"
In less than three seconds, the giant sword shattered, murderous intent scattering wildly.
"Ugh!"
Chen Xin spat out blood, his body forced backward as the Seven Kill Sword slipped from his grasp.
"Kill!"
The girl spun three and a half times midair, descending with a claw strike from above!
Her hands were enveloped by two enormous ghostly claws.
"Hell Titan's Grasp, Break!"
Claws followed her movement, their power capable of splitting mountains and rivers.
"Healing Light!"
Although Ning Fengzhi immediately treated Chen Xin, the timing was too tight. Chen Xin had no chance to defend!
At this critical moment…
"Don't harm my friend!"
"Bone Dragon True Body!"
Ripples spread through space as a bone dragon tore through the void and appeared between them.
"Roar—!"
The bone dragon let out a roar, charging fearlessly toward Zhu Zhuqing.
It unleashed "Eternal Divine Might" to weaken the enemy and strengthen itself. It condensed heavy armor with "Bone Defense," blocked the attack with fierce "Bone Spikes," and further pushed its defense to the extreme with "Bone Softening as Cotton"!
At this moment, the bone dragon's defense was so strong that even a Rank 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo could hardly compare!
BANG—!
Amid a soul-shaking roar, the bone dragon collided with the giant claws.
"Crack~"
Bone spikes shattered, its frame split apart…
Even this indestructible war machine-like bone dragon let out a mournful cry.
The shockwave alone sent the retreating Chen Xin crashing heavily onto the ground.
But Gu Rong truly lived up to being the strongest defensive soul master. At peak condition, with Ning Fengzhi's amplification, he actually managed to force the bone dragon to withstand this attack.
However…
"Gravity Swamp!"
A soul bone lit up, gravity surged!
In an instant, the girl's strength skyrocketed. She forcefully suppressed the bone dragon and smashed down with a punch.
"Sixteenfold Spiritual Power Spacetime Shadow Clone!"
Enduring the pain, the bone dragon activated its eighth soul skill.
Suddenly, sixteen solid shadow clones, each possessing 70% of the original's strength, burst out from around it.
The swarm of dragons surged forward, launching a coordinated attack at the girl!
"Nether Earth, Gravity Swamp!"
Zhu Zhuqing landed steadily on the ground.
Her hands formed claws, one pressing downward, the other lifting upward.
Gravity turned into a weapon, crushing down with violent force.
The ground surged into spikes, piercing upward with explosive force.
"BOOM—!"
In an instant, all sixteen bone dragons shattered—completely obliterated!
At the same time, on the other side…
"Old swordsmen, are you alright?!"
Gu Rong withdrew his Martial Soul True Body and landed, his skeletal frame seeming even more hunched.
"Cough… I still have strength for one more strike!"
Chen Xin summoned back the Seven Kill Sword and used it to support himself as he stood up again.
"Then let the next strike be our all-out effort!"
Gu Rong looked at Zhu Zhuqing, whose condition remained stable, his expression grave.
"Alright!"
Chen Xin's previous dejection vanished, his gaze becoming sharper than the Seven Kill Sword itself.
"Healing Light!"
Two beams of light fell upon them, rapidly restoring and stabilizing their condition.
"I didn't expect that after all these years, joining forces with Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone again would happen under such circumstances."
Ning Fengzhi stepped forward. The seventh soul ring beneath his feet lit up.
"Seven Treasure True Body!"
He and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda rose into the air together, transforming into a magnificent glazed pagoda.
Under the bathing light, the amplification received by Chen Xin and Gu Rong instantly doubled!
"Be careful; they're about to unleash their ultimate attack."
Bai Lu's voice sounded in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.
"I will not lose!"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was cold and proud, her gaze like ice.
"Roar~"
Soul Power erupted within her body. Amid black and white light, she transformed into a towering Hell White Tiger over ten meters tall.
Tiger might surge, killing intent churned!
"A self Martial Soul Fusion Skill? I didn't expect you to have such a trump card."
"Ninth Soul Skill…"
Chen Xin's expression turned solemn as his body slowly rose into the air. His right hand formed a sword gesture, tracing through the void.
"Osmanthus youth spans a hundred miles; partridges cry beneath the midday shade. At Yanping Ford, peaks stand like blades, The sword departs, the river flows endlessly."
"Sword Dao · Chen Xin!"
A red-and-blue phantom, like a god and demon, appeared behind him. Divine and demonic power merged into one, forming a colossal Seven Kill Sword!
"Half a lifetime of storms, all condensed into one sword!"
With Chen Xin's gesture, the Seven Kill Sword fell like a meteor from beyond the heavens!
"Bone Dragon Emerges from the Sea, soaring freely across the skies, rising to the three extremes!"
"Bone Transforms into Divine Dragon!"
Gu Rong drew upon the power of heaven and space, forming a void bone divine dragon phantom. Riding it, he spiraled around the giant sword and launched his strongest strike!
With the full amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the combined attack of sword and bone was no weaker than a Rank 98 Super Douluo's full-power strike!
"Roar?!"
Under that terrifying pressure, the previously domineering Hell White Tiger became as docile as a kitten!
"Don't be afraid. Behind you… is me!"
Bai Lu opened his eyes upon the spiritual throne. His spiritual awareness descended instantly.
"Spider God Possession!"
Gray mist surged as the girl's aura and strength underwent a complete transformation.
"White Tiger Hell Suppressing Strike!"
"ROAR—!"
The Hell White Tiger's holy wings tore the sky as it charged upward.
Its golden tiger claws collided with the sword dragon with world-shaking might!
CLANG—!
The aftermath alone flattened everything within a thousand meters.
Even Ning Rongrong, protected by a soul power barrier, was blasted away.
Yet, this sword, resembling a falling star, was directly blocked by the Hell White Tiger!
"Kill!"
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Gu Rong immediately controlled the bone dragon to charge forward, smashing into the Hell White Tiger's head.
"BOOM—!"
Three terrifying forces collided head-on.
"Roar~"
The Hell White Tiger opened its devouring maw, gathering a power filled with a destructive aura!
"White Tiger Five Absolutes - White Tiger Annihilation Light!"
A gray-golden divine beam pierced heaven and earth, annihilating consciousness and burying all creation!
"What?!"
Gu Rong saw only a flash before his bone dragon shattered. His consciousness collapsed, and he was blasted straight out of the battlefield.
With one ally gone, the Seven Kill Sword immediately began to falter.
"Seven Kill Domain, activate!"
Chen Xin's voice rang out suddenly.
Within thirty meters, sword intent surged wildly.
All enemies except himself had their attack reduced by 90%, defense reduced by 70%, and speed reduced by 70%!
In an instant, the situation reversed.
The Hell White Tiger's power plummeted.
"Our minds are united!"
With a single thought, Hell Spirit Cat and White Tiger merged as one: you within me, I within you!
"White Tiger Slaughter Formation!"
Blood light surged, forming a killing array!
"Hell claws shatter illusions; White Tiger suppresses the world. With one thought, the cat hunts life and death; with one roar, the tiger shatters the nine heavens!"
"Hell White Tiger—Hell Suppressing Strike"
"ROAR—!"
Empowered by its domain, the Hell White Tiger instantly suppressed the Seven Kill Domain.
Its golden claw slammed down onto the sword!
"BANG—CRACK—!"
The giant sword shattered, exploding violently.
"BOOM—!"
Clouds surged like a nuclear blast.
Chen Xin spat blood and crashed down, lying weakly in a crater.
"ROAR—!"
The Hell White Tiger roared toward the sky, its presence shaking the world!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shattered in response, and Ning Fengzhi collapsed.
As the light faded and the aura dispersed, only the girl remained standing proudly.
"You won!"
Bai Lu smiled, sincerely congratulating her.
"No, I didn't win."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head slightly and said firmly:
"We won."
"…Yes. We won."
The smile on Bai Lu's face deepened.
"We are the winners!"
The girl looked ahead. Chen Xin and the others were covered in injuries, utterly disheveled.
This legendary trio that once shook the continent had been completely defeated by her!
Such a record would shock the entire continent!
"Saintess's talent, unprecedented and unmatched."
"Such strength is rarely seen in this world. Our defeat is justified."
Ning Fengzhi forced himself to release Healing Light and said with a bitter smile:
"It seems… joining Spirit Hall is no longer optional."
If before it was for benefits, now they were completely convinced by strength.
"Yes… we must join…"
Gu Rong also smiled bitterly.
At Rank 64, she could already defeat them. What about at Rank 70, 80, or 90?
"Heroes have always emerged from youth…"
Even someone as proud as Chen Xin was completely convinced.
"The wise adapt to circumstances. The three seniors have made the right choice."
Zhu Zhuqing lightly covered her lips, revealing a radiant smile.
