Chapter 124: Defeating Qian Daoliu, Completing the Sixth Trial

The Angel Sixth Trial is about to begin, right here beneath the Angel Temple.

Qian Daoliu walked out from within the Angel Temple and spoke, "Are you certain you wish to begin now?"

Qian Renxue and Lingxu nodded simultaneously and said together, "We are certain!"

The two had spent nearly forty days of cultivation just to wait for this moment: to defeat Qian Daoliu and complete the Sixth Trial.

Qian Daoliu descended from the Angel Temple, arriving at a position approximately twenty meters away from Lingxu and Qian Renxue.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu also became serious, and the aura radiating from his body was something Lingxu and Qian Renxue had never seen before.

Qian Renxue also knew that her grandfather, Qian Yeye, was about to get serious.

"Let the trial begin!" said Qian Daoliu.

As soon as his voice fell, Qian Daoliu lunged forward to face Lingxu directly; perhaps in his mind, when fighting Lingxu and Qian Renxue, the first thing to do was to break them one by one, and then try his best to prevent them from using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Seeing this, Lingxu immediately retreated, and Qian Renxue also dodged at the first opportunity.

Lingxu had practiced this contingency plan many times before coming here; putting himself in the other's shoes, if he were Qian Daoliu, he would certainly eliminate one person before the Martial Soul Fusion Skill could be unleashed.

And as his granddaughter, Qian Renxue would certainly not be the first target, so it was most likely that Qian Daoliu would attack Lingxu first.

Therefore, according to their previous coordination, when Qian Daoliu launched his initial attack on Lingxu, Qian Renxue moved in the opposite direction.

By putting distance between herself and Qian Daoliu, she prevented him from turning to attack her while he was attacking Lingxu.

After all, Qian Renxue's soul power was only at Level 84, and facing Qian Daoliu alone, she was very likely to be taken out in an instant.

Qian Renxue could only fulfill her role when performing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Lingxu.

Facing Qian Daoliu's attack, Lingxu immediately utilized his Phantom Shadow Steps.

Fortunately, Lingxu had already reached Level 97, and his combat power was not much worse than that of a Level 99.

Under the Phantom Shadow Steps, it was difficult for Qian Daoliu to strike Lingxu for a while, but just dodging like this was not a solution.

Moreover, while attacking, Qian Daoliu was also probing this set of Phantom Shadow Steps used by Lingxu; if given more time, Qian Daoliu would certainly find some points of attack.

Just at this moment, Qian Daoliu threw a punch toward Lingxu.

Just as Lingxu had expected, Qian Daoliu had anticipated his movements.

With this punch coming, Lingxu had nowhere to dodge, so he met it with a punch of his own.

With a boom, Lingxu and Qian Daoliu both retreated two steps.

"Not bad, little Ling, your strength is already very strong; I estimate it is no worse than Jin E's," said Qian Daoliu.

"Qian Yeye, again!" said Lingxu.

At this moment, Lingxu also wanted to know how much of a gap remained between himself and Qian Daoliu, so he did not let Qian Renxue intervene.

"Oh, you want to fight me alone?"

Lingxu's actions were exactly as Qian Daoliu had thought, and then Lingxu simply sent a voice transmission to Qian Renxue, telling her not to intervene; in any case, they still had chances to fail.

The God Trial required defeating Qian Daoliu within a certain period, not necessarily defeating him in a single attempt.

Therefore, when Lingxu saw Qian Daoliu engaging him in a one-on-one fight, he changed his mind.

This time, he would use it to probe Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu already knew many of his moves, so Lingxu used these moves while fighting Qian Daoliu.

Besides, what did it matter if he knew them? As long as Lingxu and Qian Renxue completed their Martial Soul Fusion, the power of these moves would increase.

Lingxu said, "Yes, I want to test my limits."

As his voice fell, Lingxu activated his martial soul possession; the Six-Winged Holy Light Tiger possessed him, and his soul rings lit up. Although he did not use his Martial Soul Avatar, he had raised his combat power to his current best.

And at this moment, Qian Daoliu also summoned his Angel Holy Sword.

Lingxu immediately activated his Golden Armor possession, then released a Golden Sword.

Next, these two swords began a series of intense collisions; even when Lingxu unleashed the sword light of his Golden One Sword, Qian Daoliu could use powerful soul skills to swing his sword and deflect it.

The battle moved from the ground into the air, but Lingxu still used his Phantom Shadow Steps and did not change much; his trump cards had to be saved for the final showdown with Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu's soul power intensity was simply too much higher than his own; every one of Lingxu's strikes could be neutralized by Qian Daoliu.

Even his ten-thousand-year soul skill, Lingxu's Eighth Soul Skill, Ice Fire Combined Strike, was actually blocked by a Holy Light Shield condensed from Qian Daoliu's soul bone skill.

This was a ten-thousand-year soul skill, but Qian Daoliu's Holy Light Shield was also a ten-thousand-year soul bone skill.

Even Lingxu's Golden Cross Slash only caused the Holy Light Shield to crack slightly; it was still a long way from collapsing.

Basically, Lingxu had used all the moves he had previously revealed to Qian Daoliu one by one, but they were all neutralized by Qian Daoliu.

If he had used them for the first time, the effect might have been better.

But Qian Daoliu had seen Lingxu's few powerful skills several times, so with precautions in place, it was difficult for Lingxu to gain any advantage with these soul skills.

Boom...

Lingxu was knocked out of the air by Qian Daoliu.

At this moment, Lingxu's soul power was almost exhausted, while Qian Daoliu had not even consumed half of his; this was the gap between Level 97 and Level 99.

"This battle should end now!" Qian Daoliu also knew the situation Lingxu was in.

Qian Daoliu's eight soul rings appeared on his body, the power of the angel converged, an angel phantom appeared in the air, and a golden fist struck toward Lingxu.

If he were hit by this, Lingxu would be bedridden for ten days or half a month, and by then, the God Trial would be over.

"No, I cannot leave it for the next time; Qian Yeye's soul power has also been consumed quite a bit, and I have already probed most of his soul skills and methods; this is the opportunity."

"Brother Lingxu, be careful!" Qian Renxue shouted loudly.

Facing such a powerful attack, she had no way to help, but just at this moment, Lingxu's voice transmission came, telling her to prepare for the Martial Soul Fusion.

Just as the giant angel fist was about to descend, a red light flashed over Lingxu's body, and then his entire person disappeared from where he stood.

Qian Daoliu's Eighth Soul Skill could only land on the ground.

The booming sound made the earth tremble; if this had landed on Lingxu, being bedridden for ten days or half a month would have been a minor injury.

This time, Lingxu had only used Teleportation, his Ninth Soul Skill.

This Ninth Soul Skill does not consume much soul power, and Lingxu can even cast it instantly.

Therefore, one cannot say that Qing Wu's Spirit Ring soul skill is not good.

After the Teleportation, it almost exhausted the last of Lingxu's soul power.

After the Teleportation, Lingxu directly activated the Soul Power Storage Device, and at this moment, Lingxu's soul power was replenished.

Moreover, while replenishing, Lingxu and Qian Renxue also completed their Martial Soul Fusion.

Qian Daoliu asked skeptically, "Is it not a bit too late to complete the Martial Soul Fusion at this time?"

It had basically been determined just now that Lingxu's soul power was mostly exhausted, and even the Martial Soul Fusion only consumed Qian Renxue's soul power.

The lack of soul power meant the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill would not be very great.

At this moment, Lingxu had already recovered to his peak state, and his soul power was also fully replenished.

In this state, Lingxu and Qian Renxue could persist for nearly twenty minutes in a normal battle; if they went all out, it would be less than ten minutes.

However, everything still depended on the consumption of soul power; although Lingxu now had no subsequent replenishment, Qian Daoliu's soul power had also been consumed by forty to fifty percent by Lingxu.

With the ebb and flow, Lingxu's combat power had suddenly increased, and under the two's Martial Soul Fusion, the intensity of their soul power was about the same as Qian Daoliu's original Jiushijiji soul power.

"Qian Yeye, Grandfather, let's continue," Lingxu said, his voice also carrying Qian Renxue's tone.

However, the one leading the body in battle was still Lingxu.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu also noticed the difference in Lingxu; he should have thought of the situation where Lingxu replenished his soul power at a critical moment during his previous battle with the Consecrated.

It was just that Qian Daoliu was wrong about one point: he believed that although Lingxu's soul power was replenished, it could not possibly be the same as when he was at full strength.

If he could replenish one-third, that would be very good.

Boom...

When Lingxu faced Qian Daoliu again, he was already able to handle it with ease.

After a few moves, Qian Daoliu said in surprise, "Little Ling, your soul power?"

While Qian Daoliu was surprised, Lingxu did not even respond, but instead released a soul skill again; this time, Lingxu used the Golden Armor.

Then, under such circumstances, he transformed into a Sacred Tiger Emperor.

Under these circumstances, the Spirit Rings on Lingxu's body lit up, and when Lingxu performed the Eighth Soul Skill again, it was no longer a simple hundred-thousand-year soul skill.

Rather, it was the two combined, a hundred-thousand-year soul skill.

Lingxu's previous Eighth Soul Skill had Ice Fire Combined Strike and Holy Light Illumination!

In an instant, the entire space turned pale gold.

Then, these golden lights began to gather and rush toward Qian Daoliu.

This move was to have these holy lights surround Qian Daoliu and then explode with him as the core.

Moreover, these holy lights had a locking effect; the more holy light accumulated, the greater the power.

Qian Daoliu did not know this situation, but he also controlled his body to begin a counterattack.

Just at this moment, Lingxu unleashed a Spirit Bone Skill, the Spirit Bone Skill from the Titan Giant Ape, Gravity Swamp, which delayed Qian Daoliu's movements to a great extent.

Gathering a large amount of holy light, it exploded with a bang at this moment.

When the golden holy light disappeared, Qian Daoliu was seen standing there perfectly fine, without a single scratch.

Lingxu and Qian Renxue were both somewhat puzzled.

"Impossible, right? Even like this, he is completely unharmed?"

Qian Daoliu said, "A very good attack; it almost broke my defense."

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu rose into the air again.

However, this defense had consumed a large amount of his soul power this time, and if he were beaten too embarrassingly by the juniors, he would lose face.

"Fine, then try our final strike," Lingxu and Qian Renxue thought in unison.

Then all the Spirit Rings flew out.

In fact, this was the true attack of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

The move just now was also to test him; if Qian Daoliu could defend against it, then they could unleash this move without any reservations.

Moreover, this move would consume more than half of their soul power, and the previous battle had already consumed thirty to forty percent.

Therefore, Lingxu and Qian Renxue could only perform this move once; if they could not win this time, they would be able to see how much soul power remained, and winning would become exceptionally difficult.

Both of their Spirit Rings flew out, a total of seventeen Spirit Rings.

Lingxu's nine from the Sacred Light Winged Tiger, and Qian Renxue's eight from the Twelve-Winged Angel.

All the Spirit Rings condensed together, forming a sphere in the air.

This move was not originally like this, and it did not have such strong power; this was something Lingxu had researched and experimented with over these nearly forty days.

The golden sphere locked onto Qian Daoliu the moment it formed.

Looking at this golden sphere, Qian Daoliu swallowed hard; facing this attack, he was actually afraid—a fear coming from within his heart.

"How is this possible?"

Boom...

The golden sphere emitted a golden beam of light the size of a water bucket, attacking Qian Daoliu.

Ah...

Qian Daoliu also defended with all his might, but this defense collapsed in an instant; after all, his soul power had been consumed quite a bit and was insufficient to sustain the defense.

The sound of explosions rang out continuously as the full energy of the golden sphere attacked where Qian Daoliu was.

"Did we win? Or lose?"

Lingxu and Qian Renxue had no idea, but just at this moment, the Martial Soul Fusion of Lingxu and Qian Renxue dissolved; at this point, there really was not much soul power left on them.

If one really had to describe the amount of soul power, it was enough to take things out of the Soul Guidance Device.

And just at this moment, a tall figure walked out from a large crater in front.

Who else could it be but Qian Daoliu?

One could see that the clothes on his body were already somewhat tattered, and fresh blood was spilling from the corners of his mouth, yet his aura still appeared very powerful.

"Xue'er, it seems we have lost," Lingxu said; Qian Daoliu was indeed not so easy to deal with.

Qian Renxue said: "Grandfather is indeed very powerful; it seems we will not be able to pass this Angel Sixth Exam."

And just at this moment, two golden rays of light from the sky poured into the bodies of Lingxu and Qian Renxue.

"Passed?"

Both of them were very confused.

At this moment, Lingxu and Qian Renxue began to recover under this Angel Divine Power; Qian Renxue's soul power successfully increased by one level, reaching Level 85, and the age of each Spirit Ring also increased by ten thousand years.

As for Lingxu, first was the recovery of his body, and second was the reward.

Just as he expected, it was still an increase in Spirit Ring age, and this time the age increased by twenty thousand years.

With this, Lingxu's Angel Six Trials were completely finished.

And it was also at this moment that Lingxu finally completed the task regarding Qian Renxue.

【Ding... Congratulations to the host for accompanying Qian Renxue to complete the Angel Six Trials task, task completion evaluation in progress...】

【Task completion: Perfect!】

【Rewards issued: 200,000-year Spirit Ring*1, Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone*1, Immortal Grade Medicinal Herb*10 (random), host's total soul bone age increased by 20,000 years.】

Looking at this reward, Lingxu smiled.

This reward was truly too good; to think there was even a 200,000-year level Spirit Ring.

If he were to absorb this Spirit Ring, Lingxu would definitely be able to reach Level 98.

It must be said that this reward was worthy of the two words "perfect."

Qian Renxue looked at the increase in her own soul power, then looked at Qian Daoliu with some confusion and said: "Grandfather, haven't you not been defeated yet? How did we succeed?"

Qian Daoliu said: "Xiaoxue, you two successfully defeated me."

"Because I triggered the Angel Divine Power; if I had not triggered the Angel Divine Power, I would certainly have been severely injured, and being severely injured is actually equivalent to me losing. You two did well," Qian Daoliu affirmed.

How old were Lingxu and Qian Renxue?

To think they could join forces to defeat him; the two of them joining forces could be said to rank in the top three of the continent, or even first!

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue suddenly realized; so it was the Angel Divine Power.

But Lingxu was still suspicious, feeling that the move just now could not possibly have missed; if the Angel Divine Power blocked that move, then that was indeed possible.

"Grandfather, you aren't hurt, are you?" After the God Trial was passed, Qian Renxue also began to care about the injuries on Qian Daoliu's body.

Qian Daoliu was also deeply gratified and laughed: "It's fine, no major issues! It's just that my soul power was consumed a bit too much."
