Seeing Tang San was actually about to turn back, Zhao Wuji cursed inside but forced a calming tone: "Tang San, this chance was hard-won by Xiao Tian—don't be reckless! Even all of us combined can't handle a two hundred thousand-year-old soul beast!"
Yu Xiaogang's face paled. Though saddened, he lamented the loss of two talented comrades, Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu. Fortunately, Tang San had taken Shao Xin's healing candy beans, easing the pain of his pulled bone as the wound gradually healed. The priority now was to escape the forest and tend to everyone's injuries carefully.
"Xiao San, you've been close friends with Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu for six years, but think about this—if your father knew you died here, what would he feel? Could you bear to let him die too?"
The jade jar struck at Tang San's softest spot.
Gritting his teeth, Tang San finally resolved to lead them out first, placing his faith in Xiao Wu's teleportation to bring Xiao Tian back.
Elsewhere, the poisonous mist from the Snake Woman was blown away in one breath by Da Ming. He deliberately let the others escape, having completed the task Sister Xiao Wu assigned. Now it was just Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu's time to hold out.
Xiao Wu stood her ground, worry etched in her eyes as she watched Xiao Tian, silently hoping Er Ming would show some mercy.
Though most of Er Ming's Titan Sky Cannons were blocked by Flanders and the others, a fragment still hit Xiao Tian.
Immortal Wind and Cloud Body Technique!
In a flash, Xiao Tian created multiple phantoms, evading Er Ming's attack with his lightness skills effortlessly.
Huh?
Seeing this, Da Ming and Er Ming found it intriguing—but no soul ring appeared. Did he make his own soul skill?
Gravity Quagmire!
Er Ming chuckled darkly. Trying to get close like that was naive!
Boom!
Suddenly, Xiao Tian's body seemed to grow a hundred times heavier. His agility vanished, and his movement slowed to a halt.
Ethereal Sword Wings attached with soul bones!
Sword Heart's Eye attached with a soul bone!
Activating these two soul bones boosted Xiao Tian's attributes significantly, making him feel more at ease immediately.
Xiao Tian having wings and soul bones stunned Da Ming and Er Ming—they were confused, unable to identify which soul beast the sword wings belonged to.
Xiao Wu was even more shocked. When had Xiao Tian gained an external soul bone?
After all this time with him, she had thought she knew everything—but now it seemed there was a new layer of mystery around Xiao Tian.
Bingzi Secret!
Since I can't move swiftly now, let Fifteen fight alone.
Swordsmanship!
Seven Deadly Sword Qi!
Fifteen's sword bodies trembled violently. Guided by Xiao Tian's secret word "Bing," they broke free from the Titan Giant Ape's gravity swamp.
Covered with intense sword intent, Fifteen suddenly unleashed a massive surge of sword energy at the Titan Giant Ape's chest!
With Xiao Tian's soul skills backing it, the Seven Sword Qi was his strongest attack yet!
Er Ming's expression shifted, suddenly serious. Though huge and strong, he could assess power. Xiao Tian's strike had surpassed the full-power attack of an ordinary Soul King!
But Xiao Tian was still only a Soul Master!
Though shocked, Er Ming braced himself. It was just an attack matching a Soul King's strength, so he wouldn't take too much damage. With both hands, he prepared to block the attack directly.
However, Fifteen suddenly separated into thousands of sword shadows, all flying toward Er Ming. The sword's once transparent, sharp intent turned blood red!
This was Xiao Tian's third soul skill—Sword Heart and Blood Slash!
Unfortunately, this soul skill only fully ignores defense and breaks through shields when hitting the opponent's main body. Otherwise, despite thousands of sword shadows, if a huge strength gap exists, victory isn't guaranteed for Xiao Tian.
Daming Niutou frowned, puzzled by how Xiao Tian conjured thousands of sword shadows. Could his remaining soul power really sustain them all?
At the same time, he began to respect Xiao Tian. This was another high-intensity, self-created soul skill!
The blood-red sword energy confirmed it was his third soul skill.
Xiao Tian held a small, glowing object in his left hand.
Baby Bottle Soul Guide!
This bottle stored twice his soul power—enough to fuel several powerful moves!
"Er Ming, attack Xiao Tian's body."
Daming ordered Er Ming, curious how Xiao Tian would respond now that his martial soul wasn't in hand.
Smart as he was, Daming immediately noticed a flaw in Xiao Tian's approach. His confidence and fight were probably based on a defense-breaking soul skill—likely the third one!
It appeared the sword could only break defense when it physically touched the opponent. No wonder Xiao Tian tried so hard to get close earlier!
It seemed that sword martial souls had such defense-breaking skills.
Er Ming instantly understood Daming's point but didn't believe Xiao Tian's trick could truly break his defense.
Golden light flashed on Er Ming's body!
Guardian of the Sky!
His defense surged while he launched a small Titan Sky Cannon at Xiao Tian again!
"Er Ming! No!"
Seeing Er Ming prepare to strike Xiao Tian, Xiao Wu was anxious.
She sensed Er Ming was holding back, but no matter how much, if Xiao Tian was hit unarmed, serious injury was inevitable!
"Sister Xiao Wu, don't worry. We all know how important he is to you. We'll be sensible. At the critical moment, I'll act!"
"Boy, if you can't block Er Ming's attack, you'd better surrender now to avoid embarrassment later."
Xiao Tian: You're a reptilian soul beast—where did your hands even come from?
Hey.
Fifteen, hidden among thousands of sword shadows, sensed Xiao Tian's danger and wanted to protect him but was stopped by Xiao Tian.
"Fifteen, trust me! We'll launch a double-sided attack soon!"
Xiao Tian and Shiwu exchanged understanding glances.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, a long sword shimmering gold and blood red appeared in Xiao Tian's right hand.
Red Dragon Fang!
