Chapter 93: Hearts in Sync, Killing the Light Spirit Sacred Beast Together
"Xue Jie, are you alright?" Nan Feihuang ran to Qian Renxue's side, holding his long halberd horizontally to protect them both.
"I'm fine, Feihuang. Thank you for saving me." The light sword in Qian Renxue's hand had completely dissipated, but as she looked at the long halberd in Nan Feihuang's hand, she felt a sense of realization.
The moment Nan Feihuang's God General Domain appeared just now, it wasn't just the Light Spirit Sacred Beast that was attacked; she was also affected, though not by an attack, but by an enhancement.
This domain of Nan Feihuang's was an excellent one that possessed both offensive and supportive capabilities, but his soul power was still too weak to fully unleash the domain's potential.
This domain still had much potential waiting for him to develop.
"Feihuang, I have a way to deal with that thing. Give me your hand," Qian Renxue said.
Hearing this, Nan Feihuang reached out his hand in confusion. Qian Renxue also extended her beautiful left hand to clasp his, and then her Six-Winged Angel martial soul reached out and beckoned, drawing the long halberd from Nan Feihuang's hand into her own right hand.
Nan Feihuang asked in confusion, "Xue Jie, what exactly are you planning to do?"
Qian Renxue explained, "Feihuang, your domain just awakened and you aren't proficient with it yet, so you didn't notice. This God General Domain of yours should belong to the commander type; it possesses the ability to command on the battlefield and can also conduct soul power. Try channeling your soul power to me through your left hand."
At this moment, the Light Spirit Sacred Beast had attacked again, leaving no room for Nan Feihuang to hesitate, so he immediately did as Qian Renxue said.
As soul power circulated through their joined hands, the Peerless Fangtian Halberd bloomed with a rich radiance.
The Six-Winged Angel's momentum surged instantly, and she swung the long halberd with great force, actually batting the Light Spirit Sacred Beast away in an instant. It was just a pity that Qian Renxue was not versed in halberd techniques, so she lost a good opportunity to press the attack.
"Since this domain possesses the ability for battle formation command and support, then besides soul power conduction, what about the rest?" Nan Feihuang drew inferences from one instance, trying to practice the Single-Handed Eighteen Picks in his mind.
Qian Renxue felt a sense of connection, and her right hand's method of using the halberd actually began to mimic the halberd techniques in Nan Feihuang's mind.
"How amazing! This is true battle formation command. With a domain like this, Feihuang is simply a born battle general!" Qian Renxue said happily.
With this domain's support, plus the soul power Nan Feihuang was transmitting, the Six-Winged Angel and the Peerless Fangtian Halberd—two god-level martial souls—were united, and she now had absolute certainty of victory.
The long halberd swung, and the Single-Handed Eighteen Picks were unleashed. No matter how fiercely the Light Spirit Sacred Beast attacked, it was easily blocked by Qian Renxue.
The Light Spirit Sacred Beast seemed to know that Nan Feihuang was the core at this moment, so it changed its target to him.
It swiped with a claw, and Qian Renxue applied a slight force with her left hand, pulling Nan Feihuang out of the Light Spirit Sacred Beast's attack range with perfect precision.
The Light Spirit's claw brushed past Nan Feihuang's left side. His other hand was not idle either; it turned into a heavy fist and slammed into the beast's abdomen.
Qian Renxue exerted force again to pull Feihuang away. The two swapped positions, and with a flourish of the Divine Halberd, she sliced off the Light Spirit Sacred Beast's front claw with a single strike.
At this moment, Nan Feihuang and Qian Renxue were in perfect sync, advancing and retreating together. Although they were holding hands, neither was a burden to the other; instead, their coordination was extremely tacit.
Between offense and defense, they moved appropriately, and the transition between attack modes had no time lag.
Having suffered such a heavy blow, the Light Spirit Sacred Beast became completely enraged. At this moment, it no longer looked like a sacred beast at all; its ferocious face was comparable to an evil spirit.
But what did anger matter? Not everyone could turn anger into strength.
Its attack pattern had been completely seen through by Nan Feihuang and Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue circled the long halberd in a flat arc above her head like a cloud, blocking its attack once more, and took the opportunity to counterattack.
This was a move from sword technique called Cloud Sword. Qian Renxue was peerlessly gifted; in a short time, she had integrated sword technique into halberd technique, using it with ease.
"Now, Feihuang, give it the final blow!" Qian Renxue called out.
"Understood, I've been ready!" Nan Feihuang didn't need her to say it; his First Spirit Ring had already lit up, and the Peerless Fangtian Halberd in Qian Renxue's hand began to emit golden light.
Qian Renxue smiled slightly, unable to help but applaud Nan Feihuang's combat awareness.
Then, the long halberd slashed down toward the Light Spirit Sacred Beast's head. The Light Spirit Sacred Beast tried its old trick, preparing to use its howl to obstruct the enemy.
The method did indeed succeed; that sound wave once again reduced much of the force of Qian Renxue's strike.
Unfortunately, this time there was a decisive difference from just before.
That was, the Half-Moon Slash dealt True Damage, ignoring defense.
Even if it was only residual power, in a situation where the opponent's defense was completely useless, combined with the force of the Six-Winged Angel and the sharpness of the Peerless Fangtian Halberd, it remained invincible.
"Shing!"
The halberd light swept across the Light Spirit Sacred Beast's neck. The head soared into the sky, while the body fell straight to the ground.
With head and body separated, the Light Spirit Sacred Beast had no way to survive.
"We won!" Nan Feihuang finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling his body go limp as he fell forward.
After all, he was only a Soul Elder; this battle had been an exercise in extreme overexertion.
An embrace caught him. Qian Renxue gently stroked Nan Feihuang's hair. "Rest for a while. Thanks to you today."
Nan Feihuang fell into a deep sleep in Qian Renxue's arms. After two days and two nights of keeping watch, plus constant traveling and life-or-death combat, both his soul power and mental energy were completely exhausted.
At this moment, a black Spirit Ring emerged from the surface of the Light Spirit Sacred Beast's body.
This Spirit Ring was somewhat special. Theoretically, both Nan Feihuang and Qian Renxue were qualified to absorb it, because it was truly unclear who had actually killed it.
After all, the martial soul and soul skill that killed it were Nan Feihuang's Peerless Fangtian Halberd and Half-Moon Slash.
Yet the person who wielded that halberd was Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue actually wanted to go up and absorb this Spirit Ring; a sacred-attribute Spirit Ring over twenty thousand years old was truly perfect for her.
But she could not do so, because Nan Feihuang was currently in a completely defenseless state. If she also went to absorb the Spirit Ring, there would be no one to guard him, which was far too dangerous in a place like the Star Dou Great Forest.
Nan Feihuang had protected her for so long; she could not be so selfish as to put him and herself in danger again.
Qian Renxue carried Nan Feihuang, limping to a large tree to sit down. Looking at Nan Feihuang, who was still sleeping peacefully, she smiled and closed her eyes to rest, while also circulating the Angel Clan's Meditation technique to recover her soul power. Even if another Spirit Beast appeared, this way she would at least not be sitting ducks. Spirit Rings could be hunted at any time; right now, their safety was more important.
Nearly an hour passed, and the Light Spirit Sacred Beast's black Spirit Ring became increasingly faint.
After a Spirit Beast is killed, if the Spirit Ring is not absorbed, it will dissipate after one hour.
Although it was a pity, Nan Feihuang had not yet woken up, and Qian Renxue could only remain indifferent.
Just at this moment, a voice rang out, "Xiao Xue, the Spirit Ring is about to dissipate, why haven't you absorbed it yet?"
Hearing this voice, Qian Renxue opened her beautiful eyes in surprise and looked up at the sky. "Grandfather, Grandfather Guangling!"
The two who had arrived were none other than Qian Daoliu and Guangling Douluo.
After they entered the depths of the forest, they also discovered the marks Qian Renxue had left behind, and their speed was much faster than Lan Xue and Ci Xue, so they arrived a step ahead.
