Chapter 157: Soul Fusion Technique

The other was a short, stout man; the two were about the same age, but their physiques differed greatly.

"We won't bully you; choose one of us as your opponent."

Tie Li gave them no answer, his gaze lingering on the two for a moment; a faint evil aura lingered on them.

Tie Li had only felt such an aura on Fallen Soul Masters before; during this period they must have encountered a Fallen Soul Master.

"If I defeat one of you, the other will surely be resentful and want to fight me too; cleaning you up one by one would waste time—let's go together!"

"Hmph, since you say that, don't blame us if we win without honor."

Before the words finished, the two released their martial souls and Soul Rings; as disciples of Yue Yin, their talents couldn't be poor.

Two yellow, two purple, one black!

Both were Five Ring Soul Kings, with optimal Soul Ring Configuration, and possessed Ten Thousand Year Soul Techniques.

The tall skinny Soul Master's martial soul was a special weapon-type martial soul called Moon Stone; the short stout Soul Master's martial soul was Moon Rabbit, and judging by his build, it was hard to link him with an Agile Attack-type Soul Master.

Entering Martial Soul Possession State, the short stout Soul Master launched the first attack, resembling a plump white rabbit, yet moving extremely fast, unaffected by his size.

Crimson eyes fixed on Tie Li, a streak of Black Thunder surged over him, truly startling the short stout Soul Master.

"Roar"

Accompanied by a dragon's roar, a hint of dread rose in the short stout Soul Master's heart; such a feeling only appears under absolute suppression at the martial soul level.

With the emergence of the Thunder Dragon Hammer, both the short stout and tall skinny Soul Masters felt uneasy.

Within the Thunder Dragon Hammer, the Yin Lei Demon Dragon King was sealed, but Tie Li had never tried to draw upon its power.

It would exceed his control; perhaps only after breaking through to Eight Ring Soul Douluo would he dare to borrow its strength.

Both had keen eyes; the moment they saw the Thunder Dragon Hammer, they could tell it was a top-tier weapon-type martial soul.

Their martial souls were decent, but compared with top-tier ones, the gap was obvious.

To seize the initiative, the two directly unleashed the Fifth Soul Ring.

Moon Stone resembled a full moon, emitting icy moonlight midair.

The short stout Soul Master's body became slender and elongated, a crescent moon mark appearing among his features.

Fifth Soul Technique, Ice Wheel Tramples the Azure Sky!

Fifth Soul Technique, Moon Radiance Hundred Creation Strike!

The icy moonlight released by Moon Stone formed successive Ice Wheels that surged toward Tie Li.

Gu Qi watched the battle from behind; the pressure of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Technique far exceeded that of the Thousand-Year Soul Technique, making him begin to worry for Tie Li.

Tie Li's First Soul Ring and Third Soul Ring lit up; under two major Amplification Soul Techniques, he swung the Thunder Dragon Hammer to strike the advancing Ice Wheels.

"Clang clang"

The tall skinny Soul Master sensed something amiss; each hammer blow's force stacked, and when Tie Li delivered the fourth strike, four or five Ice Wheels could not be stopped, turning into shards scattering across the sky.

This was the true Chaos Cloak Hammer Method; the stacked force of each hammer blow was terrifying.

"Wait..."

The tall skinny Soul Master tried to shout to stop the short stout Soul Master, but it was already too late.

The already stacked Chaos Cloak Hammer Method had reached an astonishing level, especially since Tie Li had also unleashed two major Amplification Soul Techniques.

The hammer's inherent power made even the Black Thunder become restless.

The short stout Soul Master, wielding the Ten Thousand Year Soul Technique, launched over a hundred attacks within a single breath.

Each attack equated to a strike from a Fourth Ring Soul Sect, yet the frequency reached well over a hundred.

But the result was only a slight hindrance to the Thunder Dragon Hammer's descent.

"What?"

"Boom"

The short stout Soul Master's Third Soul Ring lit up, a protective shield of Moon Radiance formed; simultaneously, the tall skinny Soul Master's Second Soul Ring also lit, a support-type soul skill, and a beam of moonlight shot from the Moon Stone martial soul, amplifying the tall skinny Soul Master's defensive soul skill.

"Sizzle"

"Bang"

When the Thunder Dragon Hammer struck the shield, spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread across the entire shield, and the next one shattered in response.

It bought the short stout Soul Master time to flee, but the aftershock of the attack hit him, causing him to roll several times on the ground.

Fourth Soul Technique, Thunder Rain!

Seizing the moment, Tie Li could not simply let them go.

The martial soul evolved into the Thunder Dragon Hammer, its Thunder and Lightning Attribute infinitely approaching the extreme; the Fourth Soul Technique amplified the attribute by three hundred percent, making the attack potentially surpass that of a regular Soul King.

Tie Li wrapped both arms around the hammer's handle, swinging the massive hammer like a meteor, smashing fiercely toward the spot where the two stood.

If this hammer struck the ground, half of the West Courtyard would likely be destroyed.

When the Fourth Soul Technique was activated, the Thunder Dragon Hammer carried a faint draconic aura, exerting a clear suppressive effect on beast-type martial souls.

The tall skinny and short stout Soul Masters instantly sensed danger and sprinted toward each other's direction.

Seeing this scene, Tie Li felt a hint of unease and suddenly exerted force with both arms.

Moon Stone and Moon Rabbit fused together in that instant.

"Boom"

A soaring white flash blasted toward the Thunder Dragon Hammer; such an attack already exceeded the Soul King level.

The entire Cheng Zhu Fu was affected, and for a moment Tie Li tried to unleash the Fifth Soul Technique, elevating the attribute to its utmost.

"Buzz"

The Thunder Dragon Hammer reverted to its normal size, appearing in Tie Li's hand; a layer of cold sweat covered his forehead, as the recent Thunder Rain had taken a considerable toll on his soul power and stamina.

The two who used the Soul Fusion Technique were half‑prone on the ground; under the pressure of the Thunder Rain, even the Soul Fusion Technique felt a powerless resistance.

Their martial soul compatibility reached sixty percent; together they had once defeated a sixty‑five‑level Soul Emperor.

But the 300% attribute amplification of Thunder Fall lets the black thunder released from the Tremor Dragon Hammer enter a special berserk state; that corrosive madness seems able to devour any life.

Their gazes toward Tie Li gained a hint of fear.

Enough.

Yue Yin's figure appeared in the arena; he had already learned Tie Li's identity from Bai Baoshan.

The reason I tacitly allowed my two disciples to come to the West Courtyard to cause trouble for him was to see whether the Fenglei Sect's sole inheritor disciple who escaped truly possesses genuine strength.

Bai Baoshan chose Xinyue City as the training ground; aside from the Xin Yue Sect's exclusive Combined Attack Technique enhancing Team Soul Battle strength, another reason was Yue Yin.

Where is your Thunder Dragon Six Sounds? Why aren't you using it?

Yue Yin didn't care about his disciple's injuries, instead coldly questioning Tie Li.

Thunder Dragon Six Sounds is the Fenglei Sect's secret not to be transmitted, comparable to the Clear Sky Sect's Nine Absolutes of the Clear Sky.

Yue Yin, observing from the shadows, had been waiting for Tie Li to unleash Thunder Dragon Six Sounds, but Tie Li used only soul skills from start to finish.

As a false inheritor disciple, Tie Li naturally does not know Thunder Dragon Six Sounds.

"I don't." Tie Li frankly admitted.

"You don't? Impossible, you possess top-tier Thunder Attribute martial soul, the sect's inheritance imprint, how could you not know Thunder Dragon Six Sounds?"

"Or perhaps those old fogeys haven't had time to teach you yet? Or are you deliberately not learning it just for cultivation?"
