Chapter 112: Battle of the Combined Souls (Part 1)

But this pause was not completely useless. It at least gave Shatu a buffer of time, allowing him to rush out from the corner and crash into the monster again.

The monster was caught off guard and was knocked away by Shatuo, who had suddenly rushed forward, for a distance of seven or eight meters… At this time, I temporarily gained some breathing space. I didn’t even have time to stand up, and I could only roll down the slope of the cave at a rapid speed.

I need to get some distance and use my magic! When dealing with this kind of spirit, the best magic to use is the Thunder Magic from the Five Elements Magic Manual!

But the time it takes to use the thunder spell is too long, and it’s not realistic to face a monster of this speed… Because I don’t think Shatu can last that long. From the first collision, I knew that Shatu was no match for this monster.

There are two other ways to deal with spiritual entities. The first is to use your own spiritual power to collide and suppress them.

The second method is to suppress the negative energy field. After all, the spirit body is negative, and it is only natural to use positive energy to suppress negative energy. This is the principle used in some folk methods.

But against a powerful spirit, this method is like a joke. For example, if I sprayed all the yang blood on my tongue onto the monster, it wouldn’t feel a thing, unless I had the presence of yang on my hand… the presence of yang?

I suddenly remembered the copper coin sword. The strange old man at the door told me that every copper coin on the sword was a coin of a million people, imbued with the popularity of a million people, and naturally the coins that had not been on the ground were the most yang, and…

I recalled all the things about the copper coin sword, and suddenly I realized that this was really the key to restraining the spirit! It wasn’t that I didn’t think of it before, but because there were so many evil spirits, could I possibly stab them one by one with a sword like this?

When I stab this one, the others will all rush in at once!

I had a hunch that this sword shouldn’t be used like that… but now it’s my trump card. After all, I only have to face one monster here.

In the process of rolling down, I thought about that much in less than half a minute… and when I finally stopped after the inertia disappeared, I began to hear the continuous screams of Silly Tiger!

I looked up and almost bit my teeth off… The monster had wings, but Shatu didn’t! Spirit bodies can all float, but until they become spirit bodies, they have wings, and they must have a great advantage in the speed of floating compared to those without wings. This monster actually used this advantage to scratch Shatu all over his body, leaving him with shocking scars, while it itself was completely unharmed.

The reason why Shatu was screaming was because, at this time, when he was almost injured all over, the monster finally seized a piece of Shatu’s flesh and tightly held it in its claws.

It was simply playing with Shahu’s mentality, because even without relying on such speed, its soul power was so strong that it could suppress Shahu, and it could fight head-on, but it completely avoided such a method. What else could it be if it wasn’t a playful mentality?

“Concerned about chaos, it is simply not willing to suffer any losses. It devoured Shahu, but of course, compared to Shahu, it was more interested in my soul. At this time, the copper coin sword aside, I must choose to merge the souls.” At the moment when I thought that the monster was teasing Shahu and was furious, a clear thought emerged from my heart, completely calm, completely calm, and even excluding the influence of my soul connection with Shahu.

This calmness made me quickly sit cross-legged on the ground… Since the union of souls is the ultimate technique of the Li family, even if my own experience of this union of souls is not as powerful as some secret techniques… at this time, I definitely cannot hide it.

I began to quickly practice the hand movements of the soul-merging technique. On the other side, I began to communicate with Shatu, insisting that I hold on, hold on.

This soul-merging technique was originally a secret technique of my Li family, but when I was performing it, I actually gave myself the idea that this technique was a bit interesting… But in such a tense situation, I couldn’t think about anything else, so I ignored this strange feeling.

But halfway through the hand movements, I inexplicably had a new idea… I made a few minor adjustments to the hand movements, made some slight changes, added a few more hand movements to release the soul power, and first fused with Shahu’s will, then slowly released my own soul power.

Instead of combining my soul with Shatuo all at once!

As for why I did this, I didn’t even have time to ask myself, and I came up with an answer. That is, in this situation, with a little more help from the soul power, Shatu can have a little more strength to delay the monster… Moreover, my will first merges with Shatu, and the advantage will be even greater!

Because the essence of soul fusion is not something like 1 plus 1 equals 2, but rather a combination of the advantages of human magic and the powerful soul power of the demon!

Why didn’t I think of this change before? I thought it was an extremely easy thing to do, and I didn’t feel that the basic hand movements I was using had changed. There are only 108 basic hand movements in the world, and changing the basic hand movements is a very rebellious thing to do.

In this tense situation, this was once again overlooked by me… When the hand movements were performed quickly, my soul will split apart. In addition to retaining a part of the basic consciousness in my soul to perform the hand movements, the other part of my will merged with Silly Tiger.

To be precise, it should be my will that dominates Shatu, and Shatu’s will retreats to a secondary position.

At the moment of the union, I felt a sharp pain in my soul… At this time, in the position of “me” (Shatu), another piece of flesh was grabbed by the monster’s claws!

“Ouch!” I cried out involuntarily, and then a tiger roar came out of my mouth… Silly Tiger was supporting me under such difficult circumstances. I was heartbroken and angry beyond words!

The next moment, with the movement of my own hand, my soul power was transferred to Silly Tiger… It slightly replenished the soul power lost by Silly Tiger when it was scratched, and Silly Tiger also realized that at this moment, it and I had merged our souls, and a sense of grievance and dependence was conveyed to me.

I stopped in the air and quickly comforted Shatu. To be honest, although Shatu had regained its agility, it was not completely recovered. Compared to the situation before, when it could not express its consciousness well, now it could only accurately express its various consciousnesses… This degree of recovery can only be described as a teenager in terms of temperament!

At this time, the monster grabbed a piece of Shihu’s flesh and looked quite satisfied. It casually threw it away, and Shihu’s flesh was thrown into a corner. There, I saw that more or less five or six pieces of Shihu’s flesh had been piled up!

Is it stockpiling food? I can’t describe my anger… but I strangely calmed down in an instant. From the monster’s eyes full of emotion, I saw its pride, and the next moment, its determination to completely devour “me.”

Without any thought process, I began to activate the magic. The most powerful magic of the Silly Tiger itself is the five elements of wind and the five elements of metal… But even the magic that is naturally close to the monster is slower than humans due to the gap between the monster and humans. In the monster’s onslaught, the Silly Tiger had no way to perform… But after adding my will, it was different.

My spiritual power was continuously replenishing Shatuo… At this time, in my judgment, I had to attack actively, and I couldn’t let the monster see what I was planning.

So, I used my will to communicate with the wind element, and roared at the monster, pouncing on it again!

Yes, how could the demon spirits possibly perform hand gestures? The only way they could perform magic was to communicate… The reason they were so slow was because they didn’t have the same level of intelligence as humans… Even if they were close, communication was much slower.

With a loud bang, I collided with the monster again… I raised my tiger claws to give the monster a hard blow, but before I could drop them, I was caught several times without a doubt…

The pain made me quickly retreat a few more steps by using the momentum of the collision. The monster looked at me with a little more smugness in its eyes.

But at this time, I had already channeled a large amount of wind element…
