Chapter 138: The battle begins
The mayor’s reaction seemed a bit slow. After Yu Cuizi finished speaking, he was silent for a long time. The situation seemed strange no matter how you looked at it, but no matter what, at this point, any factors that were favorable to us had to be used. Even if it was strange, I wouldn’t think about it anymore. Could it be that I would still urge it?
Although the hand movements for merging souls are complicated, for those of us who already have a symbiotic soul and have practiced so many times, they are extremely proficient. In addition, in the state of a spirit body, everyone is like a finger moving with the wind, and the process of merging souls is completed smoothly.
I thought I would be the first to complete the soul merging, but I didn’t expect that when I merged with Shatu and explored the soul of Shatu, I discovered that the first to complete the soul merging was Brother Chengqing.
At this time, he was solemnly sitting among the bronze lamps, which were arranged in a strange way around him. I had always been curious about what Chengqing’s soul union would look like, but I never imagined it would be like this.
Chengqing himself didn’t change much in appearance or body shape, but inexplicably, there were faint shadows of scales all around his body. Moreover, his entire appearance had changed, becoming an unusually heavy feeling. I can’t describe this feeling of heaviness, but at a glance, it seems as if countless years have accumulated on Chengqing’s body.
In addition to these mysterious feelings, if I have to say that Chengqing has changed, then there is. He is wearing a tortoise shell on his hand, which is funny and says “lazy turtle.” This is not at all in line with Chengqing’s solemn and dignified appearance.
Chengqing was muttering to himself, and I didn’t know what he was doing. But in the short time it took, I suddenly saw the first copper lamp in the corner light up.
At the same time, the so-called lord, who had been silent, finally said a word to the respectful Yucui Zi: “Approved!”
Has it started? I slightly bowed my back, tightened my claws, and looked around. Everyone’s soul fusion was not complete, and I would face all this power alone, at least for a short time.
I felt strange at this moment. I was clearly merging with Shatu, but the other me was still very clear. This was a state I had never experienced before, or… no, it was something I had to do!
Thinking this way, I, who was sitting on the ground, began to move my hands in a certain way, but I found that there was always a huge gap between my imagination and reality. Due to the division of the soul into two, this hand movement was so difficult to complete.
But I had no choice but to complete it—the art of Zhongmao! This was already a technique that I didn’t know if it was a magic or not. It was my greatest trump card, and it was also the greatest support for whether I could save everyone and complete this difficult battle. How could I have a way out?
A word that was so lightly said was like a bomb dropped into a pool of calm, still water, causing a huge ripple today… After that word, the ten red-robed ghost generals rushed over at the same time. Yucuizi was the last to arrive, and compared to the other ghost generals, she was exceptionally calm, just rushing towards us.
I couldn’t wait any longer. I roared and the next moment I was charging towards the approaching general. During the charge, a lot of things came into my mind. I knew that in my current state, I could support a short period of full body posture.
What is a full body posture? At this time, I understood a little bit of it in this short process, but I clearly knew that the full body posture of the stupid tiger would be at least five times larger than the current form of the stupid tiger! If so, it can at least stop all the ghost generals.
The best thing about being a demon is that any magic is determined by one’s own power, unlike humans, who are naturally weak and need complicated preparations to communicate with the heavens and the earth to complete a magic.
So, as soon as I thought of it, my soul power rushed out of me, operating in a certain way, making my body naturally grow larger and larger as I ran.
My hair was flying, and I saw that the hair on my cheeks had turned into a bright silver color. I felt that wings had sprouted on my back. This was a manifestation of the soul, and it was not a physical change.
What surprised me even more was that I felt an endless power, even though I knew that this power would not last long.
A sudden stop brought me to a halt, and I was standing in the middle of the hall. The red-robed ghost that was running in first collided directly with me. This was a direct collision of spiritual power. I felt a wave of pain coming from my body, but I remained unmoving. The ghost took a few steps back and crashed into the ghost behind it.
So powerful! I can’t describe the joy in my heart. The fully-powered Shitu is beyond my imagination. If I can maintain this state, I believe I won’t be afraid of even twice as many red-robed ghosts. I won’t say I can destroy them, but I can always escape safely. The wings on my back are hinting at the fact that this form of Shitu has reached an extreme level of harmony with the wind.
At this point, I also realized that the fusion of the souls had really progressed, and it had taken a big leap forward. It was because the four guardians of the Dragon Tomb, including Silly Tiger, had received great benefits when the Dragon Tomb opened, so they had fallen into a deep sleep upon their return and rarely woke up.
This is not only good news for me, but also for my fellow students. As long as they use their full potential, they can get such information at a glance and be pleasantly surprised.
Well, they are luckier than I am. When they obtained the demon soul, they already gained great benefits.
Many thoughts flashed through my mind like lightning, and a lot of information came out… It made me a little sluggish for a second.
“Interesting.” The red-robed general who had been knocked into the air suddenly grabbed a large sword in midair after taking three steps back. The sword was burning with a raging fire. In fact, if you look through the essence, it is far less magical. It is just a ghost that can control fire.
“I am the general of the New City, and I have fourteen generals. Only three of them have attributes. I heard that you killed two of them. Today, let me avenge them!” Without hesitation, this ghostly creature raised his sword and slashed at me. As if he felt that his slash was not powerful enough, he even shouted out words of revenge.
The crisis was not over yet. The remaining ghost generals had already rushed over, some with fists raised, some with weapons in hand. If nothing went wrong, I would be beaten up in less than two seconds…
How could I let them get away with it? I had already known the information from earlier. The next moment, I suddenly grew a tiger’s mouth, and my soul power rushed out with it—the roar of a tiger!
This is a secret technique of the stupid tiger, which is extremely costly in soul power, but its power is self-evident. The original tiger roar already has endless pressure. When a tiger roar is heard in the mountains and forests, even the human, the spirit of all things, cannot help but be timid. This is the effect on the soul!
Even the powerful demon tiger can shake a person’s soul and control it directly.
The roar of a fierce tiger suddenly reverberated in the hall as the ghost generals approached, and the powerful soul power manifested itself as a surging wind, roaring and sweeping past…
I never doubted that the tiger in front of me was an extremely powerful demon tiger, so at this moment I didn’t doubt the effect of this tiger roar at all.
The ghosts that were close to me were blown away by the wind that was brought by my tiger roar, and they fell back one after another, groaning. The most unfortunate one was the ghost general of the fire element. Under this roar, his mask was shattered, and a stream of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Even the flames on his great sword were weakened a little!
The after-echo of the tiger’s roar still reverberated in the hall, and every ghost general stopped in their tracks because they had to resist the after-echo of the tiger’s roar. I’m not a fool, and I know that I can’t wait for them to recover and then unleash their big moves on me.
Therefore, at this time, I must take advantage of its illness and make it sick!
Without hesitation, I pounced forward, tail whipping, the huge tiger tail with a whoosh of wind, wildly sweeping toward the fire-attribute ghost.
This is not an ordinary attack, it is not as simple as sweeping. You have to know that the most powerful thing about the tiger is not the wind, nor the tiger’s roar, but that it is of the metal element, and that the metal element is full of endless murderous intent.
Therefore, this tiger tail is like a sharp sword with two sides that has been opened up, slashing at the fire-attribute ghost!
“Do I not exist?” A cold voice suddenly appeared in front of me. It was Yucuizi!
