Under the state of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Charm Moon, Xie Yue acts as the main body of combat, while Hu Liena uses the Charming Fox martial soul to merge her body and soul into the martial soul, transforming into a Charming Fox mask.
Within it, she controls the domain and cooperates with Xie Yue in battle.
At the same time, the two can share a telepathic connection.
Not only can they cast soul skills together and coordinate with each other, but because of the martial soul fusion, the power of the Charming Fox Domain can also merge into the Moon Blade.
The two can join forces to execute a soul skill that combines the Moon Blade and the Charming Fox Domain. From a certain perspective, the way Charm Moon is executed is somewhat different from the conventional fusion where two martial souls thoroughly merge into a fixed form.
Their compatibility is not perfectly seamless, but precisely because of this special execution form, Charm Moon consumes less soul power compared to other Martial Soul Fusion Skills and lasts longer.
Inside the blood-red space at this moment, deluded by the illusions created by the Charming Fox Domain, the Ghost Tiger continuously uses its soul power to attack in the open space.
Although the soul power and sharpness contained in its tiger claws are able to disperse the red light manifested within the Charming Fox Domain, they cannot make it vanish.
This is the domineering aspect of a domain.
As a power far stronger than mere soul power, domain power is more akin to a force of the world. Generally speaking, domain power can only be countered by another domain.
If one relies on soul power and activates a martial soul to resist, they must be far stronger than their opponent to succeed.
"The cultivation of this Ghost Tiger is clearly over four thousand years, and it might even be close to five thousand years. Logically speaking, with its spiritual power, the illusions naturally stimulated by the Charming Fox Domain should not be enough to bewilder it."
"But looking at it now..." Xie Yue looked at the Ghost Tiger and muttered to himself, though it sounded as if he was talking to someone else.
"Perhaps it is because the evil beasts within the Mystic Trace Canyon have confused minds, making them more susceptible to mental interference. This Ghost Tiger's spiritual power is stronger than mine."
"Previously, to avoid suffering a mental backlash, I hadn't used the Charm Heart soul skill on it. But now, naturally stimulating the illusions with the power of the Charming Fox Domain, I didn't expect the effect to be so significant."
"It seems that when facing soul beasts with higher cultivation in the future, I don't need to be overly cautious."
Xie Yue did not open his mouth, but Hu Liena's voice suddenly came from inside the Charming Fox mask.
"Mmhmm, since that's the case, let's make our move."
As soon as her words fell, Xie Yue held the Moon Blade, turned into a shadow, and rushed forward. With a flash of the blade, accompanied by a tiger's roar laced with pain, the incredibly sharp Moon Blade scimitar left two long, narrow wounds on the Ghost Tiger's body.
Under Hu Liena's stimulation, the red light of the Charming Fox Domain not only flickered and changed, but when reflected in the Ghost Tiger's eyes, it conjured a large number of illusions out of thin air.
Furthermore, the Charming Fox Domain's suppression of perception rendered the beast's characteristically swift and erratic speed unable to be utilized. Within the Charming Fox Domain, affected by the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Charm Moon.
Xie Yue not only experienced no suppression of his perception, but due to the martial soul fusion, after merging with the power of Hu Liena's Charming Fox martial soul, both his soul power and spiritual power increased greatly, almost matching the four-ring Soul Ancestor realm.
For the two of them in the Charm Moon state, the cultivation of the Ghost Tiger before them could no longer significantly suppress him.
Xie Yue's figure shifted, coming and going like a shadow.
The silvery-white blade's light flashed continuously as the Moon Blade slashed into the Ghost Tiger again and again, causing wound after wound. Black blood flowed continuously, and the excruciating pain caused the beast to roar continuously.
"Roar!"
A tiger's roar filled with malice suddenly rang out.
A light of soul power, extremely dense, suddenly lit up on the Ghost Tiger's body. With a flash of black light, several Ghost Tiger figures materialized. The number of Ghost Tiger clones formed this time was far greater than before, with as many as eight or nine appearing.
Having endured multiple attacks, although there were still many illusions in its eyes that the Ghost Tiger could not break through, its limited sanity seemed to realize that only Xie Yue's true form was enough to deal substantive damage to it.
At this moment, it released several clones and immediately lunged forward.
Its main target was Xie Yue, using its clones to forcibly counteract the impact of the illusions. Just as a yellow soul ring was released, a fiery red glow suddenly emanated from Xie Yue's body.
There was even a faint aura of fire-attribute energy upon it, which was Hu Liena's second soul skill, Shadow Raid.
Under the state of Charm Moon, Hu Liena can not only mobilize her martial soul's power and the domain to coordinate with Xie Yue's attacks, but her soul skills can also be applied to Xie Yue.
At this moment, after the siblings execute Charm Moon, they are completely equivalent to a Soul Master with twin martial souls who possesses a domain, and the domain can be applied to both martial souls.
Xie Yue's speed was already not slow.
Right now, under the enhancement of Shadow Raid, it became even faster by a few margins. As the Ghost Tiger clones attacked, Xie Yue instantly rushed toward them. His speed was so fast that as he moved, he left behind a string of afterimages.
His real body and the afterimages intertwined with each other; even without the illusions, it would truly be difficult to tell them apart.
A silver-red glow flashed past.
With extreme agility and at an incredibly fast speed, Xie Yue wove through the Ghost Tiger clones. The Moon Blade traced two arcs, instantly striking two Ghost Tiger clones.
The two forces of silver and black soul power clashed against each other; on the Ghost Tiger clones, the dark-attribute energy aura dissipated slightly, leaving a blade mark on their backs.
After dodging the Ghost Tiger's clones, Xie Yue's expression tightened. Hu Liena, sharing a telepathic connection with Xie Yue, naturally understood his intentions. The Charming Fox mask emitted an even more intense silvery-white light.
Under Hu Liena's control, the blood-red light within the Charming Fox Domain suddenly surged heavily, and wisps of domain power, radiating a blood-red glow, rapidly poured into the Moon Blade.
With the influx of the Charming Fox Domain's power, the blood groove on the Moon Blade appeared to radiate even more blood-red light.
Xie Yue mobilized his soul power to activate his martial soul, combining the power of the Moon Blade martial soul with the Charming Fox Domain. As Xie Yue swung his blade and slashed outward, a bright, blood-red light suddenly erupted from his body and the blade itself.
With a flash of the blade, Xie Yue slashed forward.
The red light on his body erupted violently, instantly transforming into more than a dozen figures glowing with a blood-red light and wielding scimitars similar to the Moon Blade.
The dozen-plus blade-wielding figures charged toward the Ghost Tiger like lightning, resembling streaks of blood-red shadows that formed a blood-colored torrent, completely enveloping the Ghost Tiger and its clones.
This very move was the self-created soul skill that Xie Yue formed by combining the power of the Charming Fox Domain with his own Moon Blade: Shadow Moon Slash.
The blood-colored blade light flickered and crossed over one another continuously, accompanied by the constant sound of roaring tigers. The dozen-plus blade-wielding figures were like emotionless killing machines; moving like an army, they swung their blades to slaughter.
The advantage of the Ghost Tiger's clones instantly vanished without a trace. Furthermore, deluded by the illusions of the Charming Fox Domain, they were unable to dodge and were all heavily injured, covered in scars.
"Disperse," Xie Yue suddenly commanded.
The next moment, those blade-wielding figures flashed abruptly and, along with Xie Yue, surrounded the Ghost Tiger and its clones.
With the release of a purple thousand-year soul ring, Xie Yue executed his third soul skill, Blazing Moon. The two Moon Blades merged together, and a narrow, silver-red blade Qi was rapidly slashed out, flying toward the Ghost Tiger.
The blade-wielding figures did the same; although they could not execute soul skills, each of them slashed out a sharp, arc-like blade Qi.
In an instant, over a dozen massive and narrow blade Qi seemed to transform into a cage of blade Qi, completely trapping the Ghost Tiger in the center like a net of blades.
Carrying an incomparable murderous intent and revealing a terrifying, razor-sharp aura, they descended upon the beast.
"Boom!"
Instantly, blade Qi scattered in all directions, as sharp as a chaotic flurry of blades dismembering a corpse.
The dozen-plus blade Qi simultaneously erupted in power.
Several crisp, shattering sounds were heard as the several Ghost Tiger clones made of dark-attribute energy were immediately sliced apart by the blade Qi, turning into wisps of dark-attribute soul power that slowly dissipated.
In the center of the arena, only the real body of the Ghost Tiger remained, bearing multiple injuries and looking noticeably wounded.
