In an instant, starting from the crack in the skull, that wisp of white light on the tip of the Soul Breaking Spear touched the Bone Dragon King like a raging fire meeting dry kindling, instantly spreading to envelop its head.
Boom—
At this moment, the Bone Dragon King's soul fire encountered this white light, immediately melting away like snowflakes falling into hot oil. And its massive body also instantly became rigid.
This wisp of white flame-like light was none other than purification power!
At this moment, the white purification power continuously spread toward the Bone Dragon King's body. It had completely lost its soul, and all elemental power no longer obeyed its command at this time.
In fact, long before dividing the battlefield, Chen Junting in his state of absolute rationality had already analyzed the optimal solution to keep Zhongli Wu here. If it were Zhongli Wu in his normal state, their Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would find it difficult to retain him without a Limit Douluo. But if he suffered heavy injuries, then this place would become his burial ground.
And the current development of the battle was exactly as he had anticipated.
The beast spirit was part of Zhongli Wu's body, connected to his mind and heart. Once his beast spirit was destroyed, there was no doubt that Zhongli Wu would be instantly dealt a heavy blow.
After all, an undead creature was still an undead creature. No matter how powerful the Bone Dragon King was, it could not escape the category of undead creatures.
And purification power was the natural enemy of all undead creatures. No matter how powerful an undead creature was, encountering purification power was like a rat meeting a cat—simply possessing no ability to resist.
Moreover, this was personally condensed by Electrolux.
As the Undead Calamity, Electrolux's slight effort made Zhongli Wu appear as if he were showing off his axe skills before the master carpenter's door—how could he be a match?
Therefore, the destruction of the Bone Dragon King became an established fact.
At this moment, Zhongli Wu, who had originally wanted to rush to aid the Bone Dragon King, stopped his movements. His body, which had wanted to charge over, also abruptly halted in midair, as mournful and inhuman screams continuously echoed.
Under heavy injury, his Martial Soul True Body was already difficult to maintain.
The massive body of the Death God rapidly withered, quickly reverting to human form. Under the backlash of his beast spirit being destroyed and his Martial Soul True Body being broken, mouthful after mouthful of fresh blood continuously spewed from Zhongli Wu's mouth, making him even more wretched.
The current situation was something Zhongli Wu had never anticipated.
He couldn't understand at all why the Bone Dragon King, which possessed Limit Douluo-level combat power, couldn't withstand the siege even without his control.
Also, what exactly was that wisp of white light!?
However, the current Zhongli Wu had no heart to think about these things.
Because his heavy injuries had allowed Chen Junting's trio to see the best opportunity. Now was the time to strike while he was down!
Emerald light flashed, and massive life energy instantly surged out from the Seven Kill Sword true body, enveloping the bone dragon true body together.
In an instant, both of their injuries completely dissipated.
Hum—
"Roar—"
Sword cries and dragon roars rang out as Chen Junting and Gu Tianchen simultaneously released their martial soul true bodies, revealing their forms outside. Almost at the same time…
Soul ring fusion!
At this moment, aside from keeping their eighth soul rings, their first six soul rings moved toward their seventh soul rings and merged with them.
Immediately after, the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda that Ning Tian had transformed into bestowed all enhancements upon Chen Junting and Gu Tianchen, causing their auras to madly surge. At the same moment, Chen Junting's surrounding aura surged as four great domains opened simultaneously.
Under the domains, Zhongli Wu was directly weakened, while Chen Junting and Gu Tianchen reached their peak state at this moment.
The next second, under sword cries and dragon roars, space trembled. The Seven Kill Sword intent vertically pierced the long sky, and the carefree intent horizontally traversed ten thousand li.
"Osmanthus trees in spring green across a hundred miles,
Partridges cry through the noon's cool shade.
At Yanping Ford, peaks like sharpened blades,
The sword departs, the river empty, waters flow long."
Under Chen Junting's chanting, the air twisted, the atmosphere transformed into water's surface, and runes after runes flew upward. Under the sharp sword intent, the calm water surface rippled. A clear blue Seven Kill Sword broke through the water and soared to the heavens. Surrounding magnificent patterns, illuminated by sunlight, reflected upon the sword blade, and terrifying killing intent bloomed forth, merging with Chen Junting's Seven Kill True Body into one.
And accompanying this was also that clear and empty sound: "Bone dragon emerges from the sea, soaring through the long sky, carefree and unbound, rising three levels with the wind, wandering with the breeze."
In the void, the bone dragon raised its head.
Dual wings tore through the long sky, and spatial fluctuations stretched across ten thousand li. The complete bone dragon body thoroughly broke through the "water's surface," shaking the heavens.
"Roar—"
Under the bone dragon's roar, its great mouth opened wide. Its dual wings spread, enveloping the Seven Kill, swallowing the sword blade into its body. The remaining skeletal body opened inch by inch, transforming into thousands upon thousands of bones. At this moment, the sword and bone dragon's bodies connected, causing Chen Junting and Gu Tianchen's auras to intertwine with each other.
Under the terrifying fluctuations, the surrounding space was directly sealed.
This was the martial soul combination technique! Ten thousand years ago, the two great guardians, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, created this combined attack!
"The End of All Bones · Heaven and Earth in One Breath!" ×2
Sword and bone slashed down, and flowing light suddenly appeared.
"Nine Treasures has a name, the eighth: Nine Treasures Invincible Divine Light!"
From within the void gate, Ning Tian's light shout caused the remaining "invincible state" to be fully attached to Chen Junting and Gu Tianchen's bodies.
This time, Zhongli Wu felt the threat.
"Ha—"
Under the explosive shout, Zhongli Wu felt unprecedented humiliation and rage. He was a Limit Douluo—even heavily injured, he still was!
A black shadow emerged as his martial soul, the Death God Demon Puppet, stripped away from him.
As his soul rings flickered, his ninth soul ring's bloody light shone while a dark red long spear and a long banner entered his hands. Within the long banner, countless ferocious and evil resentful spirits filled with terror and fear crazily condensed toward that dark red long spear.
A mournful cry rang out as dark red light flickered. At this moment, the sky of this region changed, becoming a patch of red like a sea of blood, with red clouds surging.
The Death God Demon Puppet held the long spear and pierced through!
At the tip of the long spear, it seemed as if fresh blood was about to drip down.
And at the moment when both sides' attacks were about to collide, Chen Junting divided his attention, causing the white light of purification power to instantly surround the sword and bone, then activated the first move of his eighth soul skill—Wound of Fate. Then came the second move, Judgment of Fate!
As the saying goes, when fortune comes, heaven and earth all lend their power!
At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to change, yet also seemed unchanged.
Sword and bone fell, the Death God cried out.
Terrifying energy fluctuations radiated in all directions!
Everyone's gazes were attracted at this moment.
As the residual waves dissipated, Chen Junting and Gu Tianchen's faces were pale. Under soul power consumption, they could no longer maintain their martial soul true bodies, and couldn't even fly, falling from high altitude.
Even Ning Tian was expelled from the void gate, similarly pale-faced, falling from high altitude together with the two of them.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, a dragon cry resounded through the air.
The fire dragon that Wu Feng had transformed into soared up, catching the three of them.
"Are you all right?"
Chen Junting, who had just steadied himself on the dragon's back, replied "Fine" to Wu Feng, then looked toward Zhongli Wu's direction.
He saw a long banner and a long spear falling from high altitude, separated by a hundred meters, already having lost their luster. And at the long handles of these two soul tools, Zhongli Wu's hands were tightly gripping them, never letting go.
As for the reason…
Zhongli Wu had been sliced in half, and his dual pupils had long since lost their luster. Not only had he completely perished, but he had died with his eyes wide open!
Until his death, he couldn't understand why this soul hunting operation that had caught the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect off guard, which had even called upon the Evil Emperor to act together, had resulted in him—a Limit Douluo—dying here, and moreover being killed by three Soul Douluo?
Unfortunately, no one would answer his question.
