Ning Tian's skirt, resembling a lotus leaf, fluttered in the fierce wind, revealing her long, slender legs. Her beautiful face was filled with confusion and shock. Huo Yuhao and Wu Feng were still immersed in the terror brought by the Human-faced Demon Spider. Just as they had no idea what was happening, a white phantom suddenly descended from the sky!
"Be careful!"
Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus instantly enveloped Bei Bei, and he used the Ghost Shadow Tracing Steps to madly chase back. However, a golden light was even faster, grazing his cheek and striking the white phantom directly!
It was a golden long sword, as slender as willow leaves, gently falling. The blade was longer than the end of a beauty's eyebrow, and the hilt was carved with intricate and ancient patterns, resembling a pair of folded wings.
Bei Bei turned his head to look, and the sunlight cascaded down the sword like a waterfall. "Clang-"
The Holy Angel Sword intercepted the white phantom's attack, producing a sharp, metallic sound!
The Holy Angel Sword was sent flying and landed in front of Ning Tian, more than half of its blade embedded in the ground. The white phantom crashed through several trees, stirring up a cloud of dust. When the dust settled, the true identity of the white phantom was revealed. A massive soul beast with a pair of wings on its back, but with four ghastly white bone claws on the ground. Its face was composed of white material and exposed teeth, making it look fierce and terrifying. Behind it, a cluster of sharp spines grew like a blooming flower, which were bone feathers, combining powerful offensive and formidable defensive capabilities. "This thing is..."
Bei Bei recognized the soul beast, and his voice involuntarily became dry:
"Ten-thousand-year... Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon!"
The Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon, according to ancient texts, was a result of a lucky encounter between a Blaze Bone Griffin and the corpse of a Holy Light Dragon. After devouring the Holy Light Dragon's bones, it evolved into the top-tier soul beast, the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon. Its creed was to turn all evil into ashes, and it adhered to the principle of 'better to kill a thousand innocents than let one evil escape'!
If the Human-faced Demon Spider was known as the evil killer, then the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon was the tyrannical despot!
"So it's this thing, no wonder it could chase the Human-faced Demon Spider into a panic." Bei Bei revealed a bitter smile. Without even considering the overwhelming cultivation, the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon, with the bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon, could kill the Human-faced Demon Spider as easily as killing a chicken. The Human-faced Demon Spider's famous venomous web could not penetrate the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's exoskeleton defense!
"Who it is doesn't matter. What matters is, I said it's dead."
Ling Bai stepped slowly to Ning Tian's front, and under her blushing gaze, he drew the Holy Angel Sword with a swift motion. His originally golden eyes turned into a scorching crimson, instilling fear in all who saw them.
He first glanced unobtrusively at a certain position deep in the forest, then burst forth with a dazzling golden light. Three soul rings-yellow, purple, and purple-flashed in succession, and a pair of holy wings sprouted from his back. Golden veins crawled from his neck to his face, like a cluster of fine snakes. A phantom six-winged figure appeared behind him.
"Six... Six-Winged Angel!?"
Bei Bei suspected his eyes were playing tricks on him, and he opened his mouth wide, a few drops of saliva dripping down.
This was not Bei Bei's fault, as the Six-Winged Angel held an extremely special status on the Tang Sect Continent.
According to legend, tens of thousands of years ago, after the Angel God ascended to divinity, they established the Soul Temple on the Tang Sect Continent, leaving behind their bloodline and the direct soul power, the Six-Winged Angel.
Since then, the continent's top soul power was established, and the Six-Winged Angel, surpassing even the ultimate soul power, stood at the pinnacle of the soul power pyramid!
Until ten thousand years ago, Sea God Tang San led the Tian Dou Empire, Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, Hao Tian Sect, and Nine Treasures Crystal Tower to overthrow the Soul Temple, ending the rule of the angelic race, and the Six-Winged Angel soul power disappeared, seemingly extinct.
Bei Bei never imagined he would see a Six-Winged Angel in his lifetime!
"Seven treasures turn out to bexx!"
An even more shocking event occurred. After the clear female voice, a dazzling seven-colored light emanated from Ning Tian's body. In the center of the seven-colored light, a foot-tall seven-colored tower appeared in her right palm, surrounded by two yellow and one purple soul rings.
"Seven Treasures Crystal Tower?"
Bei Bei rubbed his eyes and exclaimed, "The Six-Winged Angel and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower are together!?
Bei Bei wanted to slap himself and laugh out loud three times. It was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. Ten thousand years ago, the Soul Temple almost exterminated the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, and now, the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower was calling the Six- Winged Angel 'brother' with utmost affection!
Moreover, as Shrek Academy freshmen, their talents seemed a bit too over-the-top. Tang Ya was still absorbing the Human-faced Demon Spider soul ring and couldn't see, but when she woke up and discovered Ling Bai and Ning Tian's three-ring cultivation, Bei Bei feared she might shed tears!
"Roar-"
The Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon was unaware of Bei Bei's inner turmoil. It had been focused on eliminating the Human-faced Demon Spider to rid the world of evil, but it let the spider escape, which it felt was a humiliation. It was now extremely enraged, and its rationality was on the brink of collapse after being hit back by Ling Bai's Holy Angel Sword! Soul masters and soul beasts were natural enemies, and the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon, self-proclaimed arbitrator of the soul beast world, would never let any human soul master
go!
The Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's bone feathers, white as death, opened and closed in sequence, producing a piercing sound like metal clashing. Its face, full of bone protrusions, carried the dignity of a dragon. It looked down at the small Six-Winged Angel, spread its massive bone wings, and let out a deafening roar!
Huo Yuhao clutched his ears tightly, feeling his heart almost stop. He looked at Ling Bai, and a newfound respect for this guy, who he didn't think too highly of before, began to form. He could stand tall and draw his sword in the face of such a terrifying creature!
Huo Yuhao felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his soul master instincts began to awaken. He quickly channeled soul power into his Spirit Eyes, and the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm soul skill he had just obtained flashed in his mind.
"Xiao Yuhao, show them your soul skill!"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's cheerful voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind.
"Okay!"
Huo Yuhao's single white soul ring flashed, and his mental power connected with everyone
except Tang Ya.
"Oh?"
Ling Bai was certain, Ning Tian was surprised, Wu Feng was astonished, and Bei Bei was taken
aback. Various expressions played across their faces.
In their perception, time seemed to slow down, and everything around them became exceptionally clear, with a flood of information appearing in their field of vision.
Bei Bei looked at the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon, and his mind automatically calculated the distance between them and the changes in every muscle and feather on the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's body, all the subtle details becoming crystal clear.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's four soul skills combined into Mental Detection Sharing!
"Seven treasures are named, first: strength! Second: speed!"
Ning Tian's delicate hand held the colorful Seven Treasures Crystal Tower, making her beauty
even more captivating. Warmth and lightness, two feelings simultaneously arose in the
others' hearts.
"The top auxiliary soul power truly lives up to its name!"
Bei Bei experienced the assistance of the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower for the first time. A three-ring Seven Treasures Crystal Tower could provide a 40% increase in strength and speed, and combined with Mental Detection Sharing, the dual assistance significantly narrowed the gap between them and the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon.
"Wu Feng, you don't need to worry about the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon. Protect Ning
"Tian." Ling Bai suddenly turned around and said.
"Ah? Me?"
Wu Feng pointed at herself, her wide eyes filled with shock that threatened to spill out as
sound.
"R-really?"
Ling Bai didn't bother to respond. He knew Wu Feng was stupid, but couldn't she at least
pretend to have a brain?
"I can only rely on you, Wu Feng."
Bei Bei observed the situation. Despite the dual enhancement, Wu Feng, with only two rings,
was still far from a ten-thousand-year soul beast. Rushing into battle would likely become a burden to him and Ling Bai.
Moreover, Tang Ya, who was absorbing the Human-faced Demon Spider soul ring, and Ning
Tian and Huo Yuhao, who had no self-defense capabilities, all needed a battle soul master to
protect them.
Bei Bei's words were filled with sincerity: "Wu Feng, please take care of Xiao Ya and Xiao
Shidi as well."
"...Okay!"
Wu Feng pounded her chest, causing a certain well-developed area to tremble with an impressive arc. At this moment, the fate of the three was tied to her, and Wu Feng felt a sense of honor. If anyone wanted to kill them, they would have to step over her dead body. The red
dragon's crimson flames burned fiercely!
Suddenly, the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon moved. In its perception, with the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower's colorful light entering their bodies, Ling Bai and Bei Bei's auras grew increasingly formidable. The intelligence of a ten-thousand-year soul beast was not low, and the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon did not want them to exceed its control!
"Roar-"
The massive wing bones, folded like a screen behind it, unfolded. The bone texture resembled steel repeatedly forged by fire. The Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's massive body blocked out
the sky, and it opened its mouth to spew a jet of black mist, making the forest suddenly
darken as if the lights had been turned off!
Innate soul skill, Bone-Eroding Mist!
The black mist contained the ghostly qi the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon had cultivated over
ten thousand years, capable of corroding and dissolving flesh, metal, and soul power, as well
as obscuring vision and hiding its form.
This was somewhat ironic for the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon, which had gone to great
lengths to steal the Holy Light Dragon's bloodline from its bones, only to have an innate soul skill that obscured light and brought darkness!
The tyrannical despot, who championed the eradication of evil in the name of light, was itself
an embodiment of evil!
At the same time, Ling Bai and Bei Bei discovered that the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon had mysteriously disappeared from their Mental Detection Sharing vision. The Bone-Eroding Mist not only interfered with sight but also shielded mental power!
"Ling Bai! Ling Bai!"
Bei Bei called out loudly. The visibility inside the black mist was extremely low, and the
lightning from the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus only illuminated a one-meter circular area.
"Roar-"
A terrifying scream pierced their ears, audible even with their hands tightly over their ears. "Third soul skill, Thunder Fury!
Second soul skill, Thunderous Impact!"
The second and third soul rings lit up simultaneously. Facing a ten-thousand-year soul beast,
Bei Bei did not dare to be overconfident. Blue and purple lightning coursed through his body, and a massive lightning net was thrown upwards!
But all of this was futile in front of the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon! Its ghastly white bone
claws sliced through the Thunderous Impact net as if it were a sheet of paper, and the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus's proudest lightning was completely ignored by the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's exoskeleton!
Under Bei Bei's shocked and angry gaze, the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's head split open,
instantly expanding to a size larger than its head, reminding him of a python about to strike! White fangs spiraled in layers, and a ghostly wail seemed to emanate from its throat. Bei Bei felt death approaching him so closely!
Bei Bei used his last soul power to launch a Thunder Dragon Claw, but it was extinguished by
the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's bone claw. However, in a daze, he thought he saw a light?
Bei Bei saw clearly; it was light... a burst of light from a pair of sun-like eyes! Those golden eyes were unlike anything Bei Bei had ever seen. It seemed that in their presence, the world was reduced to pure light, and mortals could not help but kneel and kiss
the feet of the deity!
Ling Bai raised his head and took a deep breath, as if drawing the heavens and earth into his
body. A lofty will, unparalleled power, and purifying holy light!
The Six-Winged Angel's third soul skill, Sacred Heart!
Ling Bai's third soul ring came from a five-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragon King, whose pure Holy Light Dragon bloodline gave him an exceptionally powerful third soul skill!
The effect of the Sacred Heart soul skill: purify all negative effects, increase all attributes by 100%, temporarily boost mental power by 50%, and significantly reduce soul power consumption. The holy power of the Six-Winged Angel was fully unleashed!
After entering the Sacred Heart state, Ling Bai was enveloped in a golden holy light, like a
deity bringing salvation to the despairing mortals. The Bone-Eroding Mist could not approach him, no matter how hard it tried.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ling Bai raised the Holy Angel Sword, the tip pointing at the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon about to devour Bei Bei. The Holy Angel Sword, once a lifeless object, now seemed to come
alive, with the angel wings on the hilt sprinkling golden light. The first soul ring shone, and the Holy Angel Sword drew a golden seven-pointed star array!
The first soul skill, Radiant Spirit Array!
"Boom-"
The Radiant Spirit Array exploded on the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's body, causing it to
howl in pain and retreat. Seven bloody marks were left on its back, tearing its flesh and
exposing the blood-tinged white bones.
"Roar!!!"
Seeing Ling Bai in pursuit, the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon, which had never suffered such a
severe injury in ten thousand years, flew into the sky with bloodshot eyes. The bone wings suddenly emitted a deep, black light, enveloping the sky where Ling Bai stood in a black
world. In this world, countless bone feathers, like javelins, shimmered with a sharp, cold
light!
Innate soul skill, Ten Thousand Feet Bone Feathers!
Firing all its bone feathers at once, the sharpness of the bone feathers combined with the
corrosive ghostly qi made this the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's most powerful innate soul
skill!
The sky rained down like a torrent, and the sound of bone feathers falling was continuous.
Ling Bai's face was calm, and the grand seven-pointed star array sword aura swirled!
"Radiant Spirit Array-Defend!"
"Clang, clang, clang-"
Black bone feathers clashed with silver sword shadows, and both were annihilated. This place seemed to become a world of black and gold, with sword and ghost qi intertwining!
At the most critical moment, a clear female voice broke the balance, and a seven-colored rainbow light flashed!
"Seven treasures are named, third: attack!"
Between black and gold, no one could see how Ling Bai moved or when he moved.
His movements were extremely fast, fast like a fleeting phantom, yet light as the mist
exhaled in the cold winter, blending into the snowy night.
Ling Bai's second soul ring, a deep purple, flashed quietly, and the Holy Angel Sword sliced through the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's body, the nearly transparent golden blade tearing through its exoskeleton, harder than dragon scales!
Severed claw!
Cut wing!
Waist cleaved!
Beheaded!
Four strikes were delivered in the same instant, and in that moment, the sword light, like a
burst of golden lightning, cut through the Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon.
The Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon's massive body crashed to the ground, and a dense black
light overflowed from its body, coalescing in the air into a black soul ring...
