"Impossible!" Jia Na shrieked in absolute disbelief.
He discovered that two distinct types of sparks had latched onto his dual-scythe arms. Those tiny, golden-yellow sparks had already begun to flare into small, flickering flames, actively incinerating his left arm.
The icy-blue sparks were doing the exact same thing on the opposite side, except they were rapidly freezing his right scythe arm solid.
"I clearly dodged it! And how is this flame even possible?!"
Panic completely washed over Jia Na's face. He had researched martial souls for over a decade, yet this was the first time he had ever witnessed such a phenomenon.
Ice and fire coexisting simultaneously? Just a single graze from it was enough to be lethal?
"You didn't actually dodge the attack," Xiao Lin retorted coldly.
He saw right through him; this degenerate before his eyes was incredibly arrogant.
The freak placed such absolute faith in the fruits of his own research that, even up until now, he hadn't used a single one of his actual soul skills. Instead, he had done nothing but show off the capabilities of his fused, specialized organs right in front of Xiao Lin.
Therefore, Xiao Lin's previous strike hadn't been intended to crush Jia Na to death. He had merely aimed to force Jia Na into a position where he had to defend against the impact. Things had unfolded precisely as Xiao Lin anticipated.
The moment Jia Na narrowly and awkwardly evaded the brunt of the blow, his instinct had driven him to use both arms to quickly ward off the passing trajectory of Xiao Lin's strike. Unfortunately for him, Xiao Lin's attack power was far too overwhelming—
It was completely off the charts, to the point of overflowing. Even though Jia Na had retracted his arms the split second he grazed it—acting with a frantic speed reminiscent of a veteran electrician touching a live wire—he had still caught Xiao Lin's flames.
At this moment, realizing things were turning disastrous, Jia Na made a profoundly foolish decision. His thoughts raced frantically, and right in front of Xiao Lin, he actually attempted to smash his arms together to make the two entirely opposite elements cancel each other out.
Under normal circumstances, ultimate ice and ultimate fire might truly neutralize one another. However, these were Xiao Lin's flames—fused and compressed directly by the hands of the two Great Dragon Kings.
Jia Na's action was nothing short of a moth flying straight into a wildfire. The exact instant Jia Na slammed his arms together, both flames violently detonated. The sudden flare of the explosive inferno immediately spread upward, catching onto Jia Na's antennae.
The fire only grew more ravenous.
Faced with the agonizing, sudden onslaught of pain, Jia Na let out a blood-curdling screech and plummeted straight down from the sky.
"Now's my chance!"
Seeing Jia Na about to crash, Xiao Lin couldn't afford to check on Ye Lingling and the others just yet.
He bolted forward, rushing toward Jia Na's falling trajectory and predicted landing spot. However, the ensuing situation did not progress as smoothly as Xiao Lin had imagined. The plunging Jia Na actually steeled his resolve and forcibly ripped his own arms and antennae completely off his body.
As a black soul ring flashed across his frame, Jia Na transformed right back into his initial stitched-together monstrosity form. Nevertheless, Xiao Lin could clearly tell from the rapid, heavy heaving of Jia Na's chest that the freak's soul power consumption was immense.
Severing one's own limbs to survive was a very common trait among soul beasts. However, for a human soul master to acquire a soul skill like this was exceptionally difficult.
Take Tang San, for instance.
Even if one theoretically factored in Tang San obtaining his fourth soul ring and receiving another massive boost to his vitality, Tang San still wouldn't necessarily be able to acquire this type of ability.
This was an inherent, biological limitation of human soul masters.
Because human organs were highly complex and precision-engineered systems by nature, trying to perfectly regenerate them carried far too high a difficulty and demanded a staggering amount of soul power.
Without the terrifying vitality of a soul beast and without their massive reserves of soul power, regenerating a severed limb remained a monumental challenge. Yet, the degenerate standing before him had effortlessly executed such a soul skill right in front of his eyes.
How could Xiao Lin not be shocked?
Suddenly, a realization flashed through Xiao Lin's mind. His eyes widened as he glared at Jia Na, roaring in pure, unbridled fury, "You bastard... just how many soul masters have you murdered up until now?!"
Faced with Xiao Lin's interrogation, a flicker of genuine shock crossed Jia Na's eyes.
He hadn't expected someone to decipher the true nature of his experimental achievements with just a single glance. However, Jia Na quickly recovered, responding to Xiao Lin with a mocking, playful sneer.
"Do you remember how many bowls of rice you've eaten in your life?"
The corners of Jia Na's mouth curled upward. In the next instant, his body underwent yet another transformation. A pair of Clear Water Seagull wings sprouted from his back—clearly manifested from Qu Yao's martial soul.
A moment later, a thick lizard tail grew out behind him as well.
"All of those soul masters have already fused into one with me! What do you possibly have to fight me with?" Jia Na sneered.
He felt he had figured it all out now.
He had absorbed the strength of over a dozen soul masters, and though a single regeneration had drained more than half of his current soul power, the brat down below couldn't possibly maintain such overwhelming attack power while possessing infinite soul power.
He could simply grind Xiao Lin down through sheer attrition. Because of this absolute certainty, he chose to flaunt his capabilities in front of Xiao Lin, whom he already viewed as a dead man.
"It's a pity. Your martial soul is so powerful, what a shame!"
"It's just the most useless kind—a tool martial soul."
As Jia Na spoke, he furiously swung his scythe arms, sending countless moonlight blades flying relentlessly toward Xiao Lin and Tang Ni.
Faced with Jia Na's frantic onslaught, Xiao Lin initially intended to block the attacks with his Horned Dragon Staff. But after a closer look, he realized he didn't even need to use the Horned Dragon Staff, let alone his Tool Soul Avatar, to defend himself.
A cunning, unorthodox strategy formed in Xiao Lin's mind.
Xiao Lin twirled the Horned Dragon Staff in his hands, weaving a dense wall of staff shadows in front of himself to form an indestructible round shield. Furthermore, under the cover of Jia Na's continuous bombardment, Xiao Lin forcefully deactivated his Blazing Power.
As the gold-and-blue fiery furnace inside Xiao Lin's body vanished, the coat of flames over his skin dissipated, and the blazing aura of his blood vitality died down.
The corners of Jia Na's mouth curved higher.
He was now entirely convinced that Xiao Lin had run out of soul power. At this thought, Jia Na couldn't help but lick his lips greedily. "Even though it's just a tool martial soul, a person with such immense physical power like you must have incredibly delicious flesh and blood!"
"And that other one..."
Jia Na turned his gaze toward Tang Ni in the distance.
Her powerful Golden Dragon martial soul made his mouth water even more.
"Once I absorb the two of you, I won't ever need to harvest these useless soul masters again."
Fueled by this intense desire, Jia Na ramped up the frequency of his attacks against Xiao Lin and the others. Not only did he rain down moonlight blades, but he also triggered his own soul ring skills one after another.
In an instant, the entire sky began to shower down countless shimmering, glowing Ice Powders, creating a dreamlike, hallucinatory spectacle.
Under the frantic flapping of Jia Na's wings, the Ice Powders seemed to be perfectly micro-managed, drifting steadily down toward Xiao Lin and his team.
Drown in my illusions.
With Jia Na's confidence, he could have easily utilized this nearly invincible phosphor powder strategy from the very beginning.
However, purely for the sake of flaunting his perfect body in front of Xiao Lin and the others, he had made an unnecessary move and nearly ended up burned to death by Xiao Lin's flames. Now, Jia Na's current method left Xiao Lin with absolutely nowhere to run.
Under these circumstances, Xiao Lin appeared to have exhausted all his options. Forcibly squeezing out what little remained of his soul power, he re-activated his third soul skill.
"Blazing Power!"
Xiao Lin roared over the din, and golden flames instantly erupted all around him.
Then, with a heavy stagger, he collapsed onto the frozen earth.
Yet, instead of dying out when Xiao Lin fell, the golden flames began to burn even more violently around his body. Gradually, like a single spark starting a prairie fire, the flames rapidly detonated across the surrounding area.
Just like Xiao Lin's Blazing Power, the fire began to spin at a high velocity on the spot. The next second, the rapidly spinning inferno transformed into a blazing fiery tornado, violently drawing in the lingering flames from the destroyed base.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the sky full of phosphor powder was completely swallowed up by the roaring inferno.
