Chapter 439: Death God Tower

On the other side, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong were simultaneously keeping watch on Ye Xi Shui while quietly discussing their next tactics in their minds.

"Yutong, did you notice? Her blood‑soul formation has only ten blood souls left."

"Mm, before she dies and revives there are still eleven; most likely she revives by sacrificing one blood soul."

Huo Yutong confirmed Tang Wulin's conjecture.

Tang Wulin suddenly felt a wave of irritation.

"…so that means we have to kill her eleven more times to actually kill her, right?"

"Perhaps."

Huo Yutong couldn't help but give a wry smile.

She understood what Tang Wulin was thinking.

In fact, despite their recent overwhelming advantage, Tang Wulin's soul power, as the primary attacker, had already been heavily drained.

Their original plan was to unleash full force, giving Ye Xi Shui no time to react, and to forcefully kill her by countering her counterattack.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xi Shui possessed a full twelve layers of resurrection armor, instantly ruining their plan.

Although both of their recovery abilities weren't weak, at this rate they would likely be unable to outlast Ye Xi Shui.

The only consolation was that Ye Xi Shui's revivals weren't without cost.

Each death consumes at least one blood soul, and it's uncertain whether her soul power fully restores after revival.

Huo Yutong asked softly, "Shall we switch the primary attacker?"

Although in terms of explosive suppression Huo Yutong isn't as fierce as him, she is undeniably a powerful offensive battle soul master.

If she took the lead, it would undoubtedly ease Tang Wulin's pressure and allow him to recover his soul power more effectively.

But Tang Wulin shook his head, rejecting the suggestion.

"Not for now; when I truly can't hold on, I'll ask you."

Fortunately, Ye Xi Shui's recent thrust was aimed at him.

His skin is thick and his flesh tough; not only did Ye Xi Shui fail to breach his defense, but even if she had, his extraordinary recovery would likely prevent any serious damage.

However, Huo Yutong is different; her bodily resilience at this combat level is truly lacking.

If she dodges, it's fine; if she fails, Tang Wulin can't even imagine the outcome.

Huo Yutong furrowed slightly, about to speak, when a strong energy fluctuation suddenly arrived, and they instantly refocused on Ye Xi Shui.

Behind Ye Xi Shui, the Death God Tower emitted a terrifying red light, so intense that a blood‑colored halo warped the surrounding air around her and the tower.

"This is…"

Their gazes instantly grew solemn.

In fact, judging solely by the recent battle, Ye Xi Shui's attacks were relatively feeble against them.

Her main method is to use resentful spirits for soul attacks, assimilating the opponent's soul, but this yields little effect on Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong.

They each have unique protections: one is the heir whose spirit power, inherited from the death spirit saint god Ilex, is god‑defying; the other is shielded by the Light Dragon King's skull, allowing them both to ignore the resentful spirits' infection.

But the Death God Tower is different.

It converts resentful spirits into fuel, unleashing overwhelming death force; both find it hard to directly counter.

They exchanged a glance, both resolved.

Ye Xi Shui, while charging the Death God Tower, stared intently at the two nearby youths.

If they launch an attack on the tower, she will immediately intervene.

To her surprise, they didn't act right away to hinder her; instead… they embraced? A terrifying speculation entered Ye Xi Shui's mind.

Could they possess a Soul Fusion Technique? The thought was confirmed the next moment.

A massive vertical eye appeared in the sky, its center a striking blood‑gold dragon eye.

Powerful soul‑power surges raged, and Ye Xi Shui sensed an extremely fierce attack approaching.

Worse, she felt a high‑mass spirit force locking onto her, and having just finished charging the tower, she couldn't evade.

She could only brace herself…

A ruthless glint flashed on Ye Xi Shui's face.

She slapped the Death God Tower hard with her right hand; the tower instantly burst with dazzling blood light, and the wailing of resentful spirits grew louder.

She, being ruthless, upon realizing she couldn't dodge, immediately cranked the tower's output to the maximum.

This single use of the tower will consume half of her soul power, draining it completely.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong didn't know that, although blood souls aid Ye Xi Shui's revival, they can at most restore only ten percent of her soul power upon resurrection.

Even without revival, a blood soul only replenishes roughly half of her soul power, so Ye Xi Shui's sustained combat ability isn't as god‑defying as they imagined.

At this moment, she was truly fighting with her life.

Finally, after an extremely brief half‑second, both sides' attacks erupted simultaneously.

Their Soul Fusion Technique, named Shattered Soul Dragon Eye, combines both parties' soul power, spirit power, and blood‑Qi to unleash a powerful strike.

They had previously used this Soul Fusion Technique at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition to crush the Soul Fusion Technique "Red Dust Affection" of the martial souls Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen; in terms of single‑target damage, this technique is actually their strongest.

Thus, when the tricolor light of Shattered Soul Dragon Eye collided with Ye Xi Shui's Death God Light, victory was instantly decided.

The Death God Light instantly shattered, and the remaining power of Shattered Soul Dragon Eye shot through the air, striking the Death God Tower.

"Crack!"

Under the intense fusion impact of the three energies, several cracks appeared on the Death God Tower.

Although it didn't ultimately break, the sight was enough to snap Ye Xi Shui back to her senses.

Know that over half of Shattered Soul Dragon Eye's power was blocked by Ye Xi Shui's full‑force Death God Light; yet even so, the Death God Tower still suffered severe damage.

The fact that they could potentially shatter the Death God Tower finally sparked fear in Ye Xi Shui; she glared fiercely at the two who had re‑scattered, clenched her teeth, retracted the tower, and turned to flee.

She couldn't continue like this; although she hadn't yet inflicted any damage on Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, she had already lost two blood souls and countless resentful spirits, and the Death God Tower was nearly shattered—these losses alone would take her decades to repair.

Continuing to strike will bring her no benefit; it will only increase the loss.

However, just as she was about to open a spatial rift to leave, a long spear suddenly shot from behind; she had no time to react and was pierced through.
