Chapter 74:Twin Dragons' Combined Attack Skills
"Brother Junting, be careful!"
"He wants to steal our kill!"
The warning came from Huo Yuhao. But before the words finished echoing, Chen Junting had already reacted.
The Seven Killing Sword flipped into his left hand, gleaming dark gold. With a cold arc of light, he slashed forward. A single strike—strong enough to cleave stone—ripped through the space in front of him.
To everyone's shock, the soul beast that had suddenly appeared—radiating an aura even stronger than Chen Junting's—was split apart by the slash. But instead of blood, its body flickered into two glowing shadows, separating left and right.
"These are twin soul beasts…"
Chen Junting narrowed his eyes.
Twin soul beasts were as rare as twin martial spirits in humans. They could fuse their strength, much like a martial soul fusion skill. Dangerous, cunning, and powerful in tandem.
Before anyone could fully react, two beasts emerged from the smoke—Blazing Fire Dragon and Lightning Thunder Dragon.
Covered in crimson magma-like scales, the Blazing Fire Dragon snarled. Flames danced in its maw as heat distorted the air.
Beside it, the Lightning Thunder Dragon crackled with arcs of electric blue, its body sheathed in glowing scales. With each twitch of its tail, lightning snapped through the air.
"Yuhao, don't use spiritual detection. These two might sense it," Chen Junting warned, eyes fixed ahead.
Suddenly, fire and thunder surged.
The ground trembled as both dragons roared. Fire erupted from the earth. Thunder fell from above. Heaven and earth met in the center as the twin dragons unleashed their combined attack: Twin Dragons' Elemental Vortex.
A swirling mass of magma and lightning exploded outward, engulfing the forest in blinding heat and searing light.
"Take cover!" Beibei shouted.
Xu Sanshi activated the Xuanming Shield Array, forming a dome over the group. Fireballs slammed into it with earth-shaking force. Smoke and heat billowed around them, and several of the shields cracked under pressure.
"Shields won't last long!" Xu Sanshi shouted.
"Then we go on the offensive," Chen Junting replied.
He leapt forward, sword raised high.
"Third Soul Skill—The Power of Darkness!"
A giant character for "Kill" formed in the air, carved from raw sword aura. With a single swing, Chen Junting sent it crashing into the vortex of fire and lightning.
BOOM!
The explosion was deafening.
At the same time, He Caitou crouched in the back, a massive cannon barrel mounted on his shoulder. A deep hum filled the air as the cannon charged. In one breath, it fired—a scorching beam of light tearing through the sky and slamming into the Lightning Thunder Dragon.
The dragon screeched and staggered.
Beibei seized the chance.
"Fourth Soul Skill—Thunder Fury!"
His arm turned to lightning, a claw of pure thunder smashing into the already-wounded Lightning Thunder Dragon, driving it back.
The Blazing Fire Dragon, not to be outdone, raised its head and unleashed a massive fireball. Trees evaporated as it hurled the molten orb straight at them.
"Intercept it!" Junting commanded.
He launched six arcs of sword light into the air, each infused with flame and lightning drawn from the dragons' own energy. The sword lights crashed into the fireball midair, detonating it in a flash of red and gold.
The dragons roared in frustration.
Chen Junting moved again, spinning his sword in tight arcs. The sword seemed to absorb the chaos—then released it as a focused beam of destruction.
One strike.
The blade hit the Blazing Fire Dragon's tail.
SPLAT!
The scales cracked. Blood gushed. Half its tail was gone.
The dragon reeled, howling in rage and pain.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao's eyes glowed golden. A pulse of spiritual energy shot toward the dragon's mind—Spiritual Shock!
The Blazing Fire Dragon staggered, stunned for a moment.
That was all Chen Junting needed.
"Now!"
The team surged forward.
Wu Feng, bloodied but determined, stared at the soul ring floating above the dragon's corpse.
"Let me absorb it," she said, her voice trembling but resolute.
Chen Junting looked at her.
"You sure you can handle it?"
Wu Feng didn't answer. She sat cross-legged beside the corpse and began the absorption process.
Chen Junting stood watch, eyes never leaving her. Sweat poured down Wu Feng's face. Blood seeped from her pores. Her whole body trembled violently from the energy surge.
"She's pushing her limit," Beibei muttered.
But moments later, Wu Feng's aura stabilized. Her breathing calmed. The blood stopped.
She'd done it.
Not far off, Beibei too was absorbing a soul ring—his fourth. Purple light flickered around him. He had officially become a Soul Ancestor.
Chen Junting gave a small nod, then glanced back at the battlefield.
A second soul ring hovered—this one from a defeated Lightning Thunder Dragon.
"Yuhao, Caitou—your turn."
The battle was over.
But the road ahead wasn't.
