Chapter 135: The final card
After calculating the battle situation and exhausting all advantages, the battle between me and Patel is still a bitter struggle. After all, the power of the Kunlun remnant soul is terrifying, and it is not possible to gain an absolute advantage with just some advantages.
It was raining heavily, and I didn’t know how long the battle had been going on.
All I know is that the cute snake and the aggressive dragon can no longer fight, and they have retreated to my body. They have almost been shattered by the sudden burst of power from Patel, and the defensive shell of the lazy turtle under my fur is also almost shattered, barely able to remain attached to my body.
As for the situation of the young fox, it was slightly better. Compared to the ability to charm, Patel was no match for the young fox. It could not confuse the young fox, but it also had great resistance to the young fox’s charm, which was enough to make the young fox “exhausted.” However, in my battle with Patel, the number of times I relied on the young fox to resolve the crisis was not small.
My original body, Silly Tiger, was also fighting to the extreme, leaving many wounds that could not be repaired by spiritual power. Its own strength was almost exhausted. Thanks to the poison of the cute snake, I was able to gain a slight advantage in my most direct “hand-to-hand combat” with Patel.
The sky grew darker and darker, and after another series of battles between me and Patel, we parted again.
At this point, Patel’s huge body was truly too small to be human-shaped. The black body was covered with only a thin layer of purple power, and there was a missing arm… It looked extremely disheveled. It looked at me with a fierce gaze, but in the end, it didn’t have the courage to charge.
I still slowly paced around Patel, looking for the best angle to attack. I was barely able to maintain this rhythm. I couldn’t let him see that, in fact, in my current state, even this slow pace was an abnormally huge burden.
I was desperately trying to squeeze my potential. I couldn’t calculate the outcome of this battle. Even though Patel looked so easy to deal with, weren’t we all fighting to the limit? This was a group battle that was doomed from the start. No one had a chance to fight because everyone had to concentrate their strength to be able to fight on par with Patel.
I had put aside the indescribable feeling of unease. Not that I didn’t care about the feeling from the bottom of my soul, but in this kind of battle, there was simply no room for distraction, so where was there time to worry about unease?
The battlefield was quiet, and my confrontation with Patel continued. In fact, the time we spent in this confrontation was getting longer and longer, because we both needed a little time to catch our breath and recover. In such a battle, everyone was so nervous, and my victory or defeat determined the fate of everyone, so no one spoke, just quietly watching.
“This should be the last attack.” The heavy rain did not affect my vision. Looking at Patel not far away, this was the only thought in my mind. I knew my own strength very well. Even if I squeezed my potential, I could only maintain this attack. The only thing I could rely on was the last and strongest blow that Uncle Johnny had mentioned. In my battle with Patel, he had never intervened. I could only think that he was waiting for me to complete the final blow before intervening.
Thinking of this, I habitually retracted my claws, then roared lowly and charged at Patell again. This was the final attack.
Facing the tiger-like figure that was rushing at me, Patel’s eyes were filled with a more intense look of resentment, but he had no choice but to face it head-on… We fought together again, and the level of this battle was already very ridiculous, like a battle between two resentful spirits, seeing who could eventually devour the other.
I believe that as long as a warlock with a little bit of skill appears here, he can successfully capture both me and Patell!
I was almost too weak to lift my claws, and I could barely open my mouth to bite. Patel was not much better, and every blow and impact I felt was only a tickle before, but now it was already its strongest power.
My consciousness was already a little fuzzy. I looked at Patell, and I believed that if there was just one more powerful blow, Patell would vanish. Patell looked at me with a more playful expression. Could it be…?
“No matter what kind of monster you are, you’re finished.” Patell’s voice was hoarse, and he suddenly said this to me.
“Wo…” I let out a whimper, and at that moment, I was biting hard on the waist of Patell, I was still gathering strength, as long as my teeth could pierce through here, I believed that Patell would have no more strength to gather itself, but I had to admit that Patell’s words made my heart heavy.
“Do you think I’m joking?” Patel looked at me with a serious expression in his eyes. He raised his hand and suddenly a dagger condensed with purple power appeared in his hand. My heart suddenly became heavy.
Patel’s face showed a sneer, and he looked at me and said in a cruel tone, “The power of the souls of the gods, how can mortals like you defeat it? The secret I didn’t tell you is that I have completely merged some of the power of the souls of the gods. Do you understand what complete fusion is? It means that its soul and my soul are completely fused together. Its power is my power, and you can also understand it as me!
As if to enjoy the moment of victory, Patel waved the dagger in his hand, but he did not drop it, speaking of his greatness, but my heart grew heavier and heavier. I have not seen the power of the Kunlun remnant soul, just like Yucui Zi, just like the lord of the city who can make people dream for thousands of years.
But I know the difference between Patel’s current situation and theirs. Just like Yucui and the city lord, the state of the Kunlun remnant soul and their fusion is more like a guest in their body, which is to say that there is almost no difference between this symbiotic state and that of me and Shatu. Therefore, when Yucui’s soul was scattered on that day, only a trace of purple remnant soul was left to accept the technique of thunder punishment… and the city lord was imprisoned together with the Kunlun remnant soul, so this state was not obvious! But when I saw it finally vanish into ashes that day, its will had already disappeared, and all that was left was a purple remnant soul that had been destroyed…
So when Patel said this, I couldn’t imagine what kind of state this complete fusion was. It was like the fusion between me and Shatu, which was incredible to me. Could it be similar to the fusion between me and Shatu?
“My body is going to be resurrected, so I’ve never wanted to use this kind of power… The soul after the fusion is unimaginable! You’re good, forcing me to use my last power. I originally wanted to fuse more of this power.” Patel’s hoarse voice still rang in my ears, but the dagger in his hand had already fallen heavily. The dagger condensed by the soul power of the Kunlun soul naturally inserted into my already weak body without any effort. I noticed that the thin layer of purple power that originally covered it was gone. This dagger was the last purple power condensed.
Patel himself had a trump card, and that was the purple power that he had already merged! The soul power he used against us was always power that had not been merged…
When I realized this, I looked up and saw Patel’s cruel smile… My heart grew cold little by little. I turned to look at Uncle Johnny, and a look of pain and hesitation appeared on his face. But why didn’t he attack?
“Let me show you the essence!” Patell laughed madly, and a gust of wind whistled past, as if blowing away the layers of black mist that surrounded him. Underneath the black mist, I saw a hint of lavender. Patell possessed my tiger back, whispering coldly, “This is the true fusion, inheriting incredible power. Unfortunately, it can only be fully exerted through the body. Your magic is just a child’s play in the face of this power. You don’t know how great its inheritance is! The day the seal is broken is the day I, Patell, will be resurrected. Unfortunately, I also want to resurrect Ziya through secret arts.
When Patel said this, he did not forget to slash my body with the dagger in his hand, leaving a long wound on my side. The intense pain from my soul made me roar in pain. Do I still have the strength? Do I still have the strength to use? ! As long as I can fight off this last purple power, I can still stop some things…
At least from what Patel said, I realized one thing: the fused soul needs a body to exert its greatest power. If it is in the state of a soul, it may not have much power, but it is much stronger than an ordinary soul… Although I don’t understand why a body is needed to exert the greatest power, because for us cultivators, if we abandon the body, the magic we can use should be stronger than when we have a body…
Unfortunately, no one has given me an answer… How can the current situation be reversed? No one has the power to fight against Pater in this state. Is my uneasiness a sign of the outcome of this battle? Will we ultimately fail?
The rain, sadly falling, failure clearly means death, but my heart is strangely numb, not aware of the impending death, but rather feeling that the dark clouds above my head have become a little thicker… Or, is the world and sky all predicting for me?
But what no one could have imagined was that this dark cloud did not appear out of thin air.
