**
High above Heavenly Sword Peak, Bai Hu had exhausted his lifelong cultivation to fully unleash the Whirlwind of the Dancing Flame.
With a palm strike directed downward, a golden-red pillar of light descended toward Black-Hearted Tiger, appearing like a golden rainbow piercing through the firmament to strike the mortal realm.
"Ah! Bai Hu, I, Situ Kuang, will not be defeated by the likes of you!"
"Ninth Soul Skill: Black-Hearted Evil Fiend!"
Situ Kuang poured out his soul power frantically, pushing his Martial Soul to its absolute limit.
He thrust his palms forward, and purple-black energy transformed into nine massive, humanoid tigers. Their feline faces were filled with distorted, terrifying expressions, as if malevolent ghosts from hell had arrived in the world of the living.
Facing the descending golden-red pillar of light, Situ Kuang used his Martial Soul Avatar to drive the Black-Hearted Evil Fiend technique, attempting to block it.
The two powerful soul skills instantly clashed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom!
Unfortunately, he was ultimately a step behind.
Even after exhausting his strength to resist with his ninth soul skill, Situ Kuang's Black-Hearted Evil Fiend was crushed from the sky by the Whirlwind of the Dancing Flame. He was sent crashing back to the ground and even driven deep into the earth.
A massive, bowl-shaped energy shockwave suddenly generated, rippling across the entire West Sea Forest of Peaks. The Sword Valley was completely submerged in the reddish-gold light of soul power.
The majority of the buildings atop Heavenly Sword Peak were utterly destroyed. Fortunately, under Bai Hu's control, the Sword Sect disciples were less affected by the aftermath. With Yun Potian and Yun Shan protecting them, they sustained no injuries.
In contrast, the members of the Black Tiger Sect were in a wretched state.
They had already been ravaged by being trapped inside the Whirlwind of the Dancing Flame earlier, then shaken by the shockwave of its formation, and now they were hit yet again by the shockwave of the skill's true explosion.
Under Bai Hu's deliberate control, the majority of the aftermath enveloped the Black Tiger Sect members. Including the two Soul Douluo-level Hall Masters, the Black Tiger Sect disciples were heavily injured; few could even stand up.
"Cough... cough! BAI HU!!!!"
Situ Kuang crawled out from the depths of the earth.
At this moment, he was in a state of extreme disarray, completely stripped of the dignity of a Titled Douluo. His robes were mostly destroyed, his hair crown shattered, and his body was covered in multiple burns.
He spat out fresh blood, and his body no longer emitted the powerful soul power aura from before. Because his Martial Soul Avatar had been forcibly broken, his Martial Soul suffered severe damage and could not be used for a short time.
"Elder Bai!"
"Elder Bai!"
"Teacher!"
However, while the Black Tiger Sect had been defeated, Bai Hu's life and path had come to an end. Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Sword Sect, this Red Flame Sword Master, who had single-handedly guarded the sect for over thirty years, finally reached the end of his life.
Flames consumed his entire body, turning him into wisps of white mist that drifted into the sky.
A fragment of a broken sword fell to the ground.
The blade was covered in cracks, devoid of luster, and its soul power was completely dissipated. This was the remnant of the Red Flame Sword Martial Soul left behind by Bai Hu. Earlier, Bai Hu had taken the initiative to shatter his own Martial Soul.
Using his incredible control, he used the source energy released upon the Martial Soul's destruction to enhance the power of the Whirlwind of the Dancing Flame.
He had truly given everything.
"Black-Hearted Tiger, give up your life!"
Though his heart was filled with grief, now was not the time for sorrow.
Yun Potian forced himself to calm down.
He knew that this was the moment Black-Hearted Tiger was at his weakest. If he could kill him now, it would be vengeance for Elder Bai. He immediately turned and shouted to Yun Shan, "Elder Yun!"
"Sect Master, I understand."
In the next instant, one green and one gold—two sword lights pointed directly at the sky and soared upward, emitting powerful soul power fluctuations.
These were Yun Potian and Yun Shan unleashing their Martial Soul Avatars. The two held their swords with one hand. The sword light was dazzling; not only was violent thunder summoned in the sky, but fierce winds also howled.
"Dual Sword Combination!"
The two circulated their soul power and activated their Martial Souls.
The auras of the Thundering Sword and the Whirlwind Sword grew increasingly powerful.
With a light tap of their toes, they soared into the high altitude. High in the sky, Yun Potian and Yun Shan touched the tips of their swords together. The gold and green soul power light condensed into a single point.
Under the Dual Sword Combination, the source powers of the Thundering Sword and the Whirlwind Sword combined. A powerful energy was instantly generated, containing the forces of wind and thunder.
Its power was faintly no less than Yun Potian's previously prepared "Thunder Tribulation."
The Dual Sword Combination was completed in an instant.
Yun Potian and Yun Shan pivoted in the air, diving headfirst. In the posture of the Dual Sword Combination, they spiraled downward. The wind and thunder power seemed to condense into a sharp blade, striking toward Situ Kuang on the ground.
"Not good! Sect Master, watch out!"
Niu Xuanfeng had been blown away by the shockwave of the Whirlwind of the Dancing Flame earlier. Seeing the Sect Master unable to resist the Dual Sword Combination and being pushed into a desperate situation, he immediately cried out in alarm.
At the same time, he moved to block. He was, after all, a Soul Douluo powerhouse and possessed a head spirit bone; his physique was extraordinary. Although injured, he was not yet incapable of acting.
"Moo!!!" The sound of a bull's lowing suddenly rang out.
"Shadowless Whirlwind Horn!"
He did not directly activate his Martial Soul to perform a soul skill. To save his leader, Niu Xuanfeng directly activated his spirit bone. The pair of golden bull horns on his head immediately emitted cyan soul power light.
A whirlwind generated from the horns, growing more violent until it formed a massive tornado that completely encased Niu Xuanfeng's body. He crashed toward the Dual Sword Combination performed by Yun Potian and Yun Shan.
At the head of the tornado, a pair of massive golden bull horns spun rapidly amidst the whirlwind, adding to the tornado's destructive power. Finally, Niu Xuanfeng intercepted the attack just before the Dual Sword Combination could kill Situ Kuang.
Bang!
The massive tornado formed by the Shadowless Whirlwind Horn blocked the Dual Sword Combination from below.
Yun Potian and the other elder looked at each other and nodded.
Simultaneously, they erupted with soul power once more, burning their boats.
They drove all their remaining soul power into their Martial Souls. The soul power light of the Thundering Sword and the Whirlwind Sword became even more blinding, and the might of the Dual Sword Combination surged.
"AHHHH!!!"
Inside the tornado, Niu Xuanfeng couldn't help but roar.
He felt the pressure on his head getting heavier and heavier; he was about to give way.
"Break!"
The gold and green light of the Dual Sword Combination ultimately triumphed over Niu Xuanfeng. The massive cyan tornado was split down the middle, and Niu Xuanfeng was sent flying once again. With no one left to resist, it seemed Black-Hearted Tiger was truly destined to perish here.
However, at this moment, it seemed Situ Kuang's fate was not yet sealed.
Zhu Wujie's eyes flickered, and he made a decision in his heart. No, Black-Hearted Tiger cannot die yet. If he dies, there will be no antidote for the Blood Demon Frenzy Pill I swallowed.
He immediately rushed forward.
His Martial Soul Avatar, the Violent Earth Pig, transformed into a humanoid shape, becoming a massive humanoid figure over tens of meters tall. He had a pig's head and a human's body; if Ling Xiao were here, he would surely exclaim, "Zhu Bajie!"
Arriving beside Situ Kuang, Zhu Wujie added a fawning remark, "Sect Master, I've come to save you."
"Ha! Eighth Soul Skill: Pig-Toad Divine Art!!!"
In his humanoid Martial Soul Avatar form, Zhu Wujie performed his eighth soul skill again.
His hands circled and joined, and an extremely powerful energy erupted. He pushed his palms upward, and the earth-yellow soul power instantly transformed into a massive energy sphere, shielding both him and Situ Kuang.
Although his eighth soul skill, named Pig-Toad Divine Art, had a terrible name and looked ugly when performed, its effects were actually extraordinary, serving both as an offense and a defense. In this moment, Zhu Wujie stood out brilliantly.
After breaking through Niu Xuanfeng's Shadowless Whirlwind Horn, more than half of the Dual Sword Combination's power had been depleted. It was now unable to break through Zhu Wujie's defense.
Gu! Gu! Gu!
Activating his eighth soul skill to protect himself and Situ Kuang, Zhu Wujie's eyes bulged.
The sides of his Martial Soul Avatar pig-face puffed out like a giant toad, rising and falling while making a rhythmic drumming sound. He pushed his Martial Soul to the limit, and the earth-yellow soul power light suddenly expanded, causing the energy shield to swell violently.
With a Bang!, the Dual Sword Combination was repelled.
However, after blocking the Dual Sword Combination, he was unable to maintain his form. Zhu Wujie was forced to dispel his Martial Soul Avatar and sprayed out a mouthful of blood.
By forcibly blocking the Dual Sword Combination, although his Martial Soul was not severely damaged, his injuries were quite significant.
