Chapter 94: The Pure and Original Path to Death
Qian Renxue wielded her Holy Sword, clashing again and again with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's claws. One strike sent her flying, her qi and blood churning violently within. The lightning-covered dragon claws had some of their scales sliced open—but not fully.
I'm not stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon in terms of power. Only my Holy Sword can wound him. I can't win a drawn-out fight. He's a Soul Sage. I must end this quickly and precisely.
Activating her Six-Orifice Exquisite Heart, Qian Renxue quickly devised a tactical plan. With full force, she opened her Angel Domain.
A golden sphere, one hundred meters in radius under her soul power's influence, appeared in the air.
Within the domain, Yu Xiaotian felt a divine force purifying his soul power. The dense blue-purple lightning that had strengthened his power, speed, and defense was being steadily cleansed.
At this rate, his soul power would be depleted in under ten minutes.
Qian Xunji had told him: defeat Qian Renxue with all your strength, and he'd be rewarded with a ten-thousand-year soul bone. Though it wasn't much to Spirit Hall, for the Blue Lightning Clan, it was incredibly precious.
Yu Xiaotian didn't dare injure the Pope's daughter severely. But as in the Soul Master Tournament, knocking her down should be acceptable.
"Seventh Soul Skill—Martial Soul True Body!"
"Dragonification!"
Yu Xiaotian's seventh soul ring lit up. His body rapidly expanded, transforming into a 30-meter-long Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. The blue-purple lightning turned to pure violet, even streaked with black.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, considered the continent's number one beast-type soul, evolves further every ten levels. At level 70, it reaches true dragonification—complete with wings and full flight capability. Soul rings now circled the body just like with any other Soul Master.
Once fully dragonified, all weaknesses vanished. Overpowering strength became the only path to victory.
This earned it a solid 8/10 across all attributes from Qian Xunji—except for control and support.
"First Soul Skill—Thunder Dragon Claw!"
A thunderbolt-formed dragon claw surged toward her. But thanks to the mental boost from her Angel Head Soul Bone, Qian Renxue immediately saw it was a linear attack. She stopped flapping her wings and used soul power to push herself downward—dodging just in time.
Landing back on the platform, she kicked off again and soared upward.
She knew Yu Xiaotian's soul power far exceeded hers. Even with purification from the Angel Soul Power, she couldn't win through endurance. She had to evade all attacks.
Yu Xiaotian was momentarily stunned by her maneuver. His second soul ring lit up immediately.
"Second Soul Skill—Heavenly Thunderstrike!"
The serpentine lightning around his body expanded and transformed into countless thunderbolts, which shot in all directions before converging on Qian Renxue.
"Let's see how you dodge this!"
She activated her split-thought control. Her second and fourth soul rings lit up simultaneously.
"Fourth Soul Skill—Descent of the Angel! Second Soul Skill—Angel Assault!"
With her fourth skill's boost, her speed and power doubled. She turned into a streak of golden light, bolting forward. Her left hand formed a soul-powered shield, blocking the few thunderbolts that managed to hit her before the rest could converge.
Even Qian Renchuan watched in awe. My sister's incredible! She saw through the weakness in his skill and used minimal force to break through. If it were me, I'd be running laps with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge.
Yu Xiaotian blinked in disbelief. He raised a claw in defense, but her blow still sent his dragon body back several meters, scorching his scales.
Qian Renxue didn't let up. She pressed the assault with a barrage of golden punches.
Renchuan frowned. Where's her Holy Sword? Did it vanish? This would've been the perfect time for a stab—he'd be seriously hurt!
"Sixth Soul Skill—Dragonbreaking Roar!"
Yu Xiaotian hadn't expected her to be so fierce. His sixth ring lit up, and soul power surged into his mouth. A booming dragon roar erupted, sending shockwaves in all directions. A sonic-type area attack.
Qian Renxue's head throbbed in agony. She paused. Her domain collapsed. Even with her enhanced mental power, the level difference was too great. But before covering her ears, she flicked her hand.
Yes—this is it! Victory is mine!
Yu Xiaotian thought triumphantly. But then… searing pain shot through his chest. He looked down and saw a deep slash bleeding profusely.
The wound had come from the Holy Sword.
Qian Renxue hadn't discarded it—she'd transformed it into a whip with soul power and hidden it in her domain, waiting for an opening.
She had studied the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon inside and out. From their first clash, she knew—only a sneak attack to the chest or vital points would work. The claws weren't the target.
"Damn!"
Yu Xiaotian suddenly felt his soul power being purified rapidly. His sixth skill halted. Qian Renxue retrieved her Holy Sword with a soul-powered whip and hurled it. It exploded in a burst of golden fire.
The wound on his chest worsened. He vomited blood. With less than 20% of his soul power left, his combat ability dropped below 30%. His True Body form collapsed. He shrank into a few-meter-long dragon.
"RAAAHH!"
Qian Renxue cried out, charging again. She aimed at the chest wound and pummeled it with a flurry of golden fists, pouring Angel Soul Power into him.
Yu Xiaotian was terrified. What kind of monster did the Pope raise?! This girl fights fiercer than most men!
He triggered his third soul ring.
Wrath of Thunder—a berserk skill that boosted lightning power by 100% and soul power by 50%.
The angel's fists clashed with dragon claws in brutal melee. Blow for blow, punch for punch.
Ah Yin's heart clenched. In a fight like this, it was all about endurance. Whoever passed out first would lose.
Qian Renchuan saw his sister's bruised face, bloodied lips, and golden hair matted in sweat and blood. His killing intent surged. Yu Xiaotian… you've earned yourself a spot on my Death List.
"It's over! You can't dodge this! I'll be the victor!"
Yu Xiaotian activated his fifth soul ring. "Fifth Soul Skill—Thunderstorm!"
From him erupted countless fine blue-purple lightning bolts, spreading in all directions with a paralysis effect.
"First Soul Skill—Angel's Wing!"
Qian Renxue's body turned translucent. The skill reduced 50% of the lightning's effect, but she was still scorched and numbed.
For the final blow, she transformed her fist into a blade and drove it straight into the wound she had opened earlier. Blood sprayed everywhere—coating her face and body.
The once-holy Qian Renxue now looked like a blood-stained angel of death.
Yu Xiaotian's eyes widened as his martial soul dissolved.
Seeing this, Qian Xunji couldn't help but grin.
Yes… this is my well-trained daughter. Kukuku…
