Chapter 217: Chapter 217 Transcendent Ferocious Beast_1

Ling Xiao had never tried to fuse two Martial Souls together.

But that wasn’t a difficult task.

He found that the most significant feature of the Mountain and River Martial Soul was its compatibility and inclusiveness, not only could it absorb and devour any Martial Soul, but it could also fuse two or even multiple Martial Souls to create a new one.

He had never tried it before because he hadn’t acquired enough Martial Souls; however, now might be a good time to give it a try.

Blood Saber Martial Spirit and Shadow Martial Spirit.

He closed his eyes, and his soul entered the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

He discovered that the characteristics of the Blood Saber Martial Spirit and the Shadow Martial Spirit were detailed on the Mountain and River Map.

Blood Saber Martial Spirit—

Enhances weapon class martial skills attacks, makes moves more unpredictable, can summon the Blood Blade Ancestor for assistance;

Shadow Martial Spirit—

Hides all aura, stealth, can manipulate shadows.

Then, the new Martial Soul formed by the fusion of these two was also listed.

The new Martial Soul possessed all the characteristics of the Blood Saber Martial Spirit and the Shadow Martial Spirit, completely without contradiction.

The fusion of these two Martial Souls really seemed rather good.

But some Martial Souls were not so suitable for fusion; for example, the force-focused Black Bear Martial Spirit and the Shadow Martial Spirit would be difficult to forcibly merge, and even if merged, they would create numerous issues due to conflicting characteristics.

As to whether characteristics would cancel each other out, the Mountain and River Martial Soul would provide the answer, so Ling Xiao didn’t need to worry about that part.

"Let’s call the new Martial Soul Blood Shadow,"

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and named the new Martial Soul.

Due to inheriting the traits of the Shadow Martial Spirit and Blood Saber Martial Spirit, the Blood Shadow Martial Soul was now considered a Complete Soul, and it was a Second Phase Ethereal Martial Soul.

With this, Ling Xiao’s Complete Souls had reached three.

In the battle where he had eradicated the Dreamy Elixir Seller, he had also obtained a Thunder God Heroic Soul.

At that time, because a lot had happened, and since the Thunder God Heroic Soul seemed to clash with his various moves, he didn’t proceed with the transformation.

But times had changed.

Since he had discovered that Martial Souls could be fused, it was worth a try.

The main attribute of the Thunder God Martial Spirit was its attachment of thunder and lightning attribute damage, and it could also summon the Thunder God to attack.

This had no conflict with any Martial Soul.

However, after some consideration, Ling Xiao decided to fuse the Thunder God Martial Spirit with the Black Bear Martial Spirit, forming the Thunder Bear Martial Spirit.

This Martial Soul not only retained the characteristics of the Black Bear Martial Spirit but also gained the thunder and lightning attribute, significantly increasing its power.

Ghost Ship Remnant Soul, Giant Sword Broken Soul, Thunder Bear Broken Soul, Blood Shadow Martial Soul (Ethereal), Dark Cloud Warrior Soul (Transparent Body), Cherry Tree Martial Spirit (Transparent Body), Mountain and River Martial Soul (Unknown).

These were all of Ling Xiao’s current Martial Souls.

He didn’t choose to fuse any further because, according to the Mountain and River Martial Soul’s analysis, the results of further fusing the remaining Martial Souls weren’t too favorable.

Either numerous characteristics would be lost, or they couldn’t be fused at all.

While Martial Soul Fusion was an excellent way to enhance the performance of Martial Souls, it wasn’t always the case that fusion would lead to improvements.

Ling Xiao would choose the best way to use Martial Souls, and since he now had three Complete Souls that could be applied to combat, there was no need to rush into additional fusions.

Moreover, having too many characteristics in one Martial Soul could actually hinder the performance of certain traits.

Generally, the best outcome was to fuse three Martial Souls into one; more than that could be a waste and counterproductive.

After taking a deep breath, Ling Xiao opened his eyes.

The Martial Soul Fusion was complete, and although his cultivation level had not improved, he now had many more ways to utilize his Martial Souls, and his combat power had indeed increased significantly.

If he were to encounter the invisible assassin now, he would certainly be able to handle it much more comfortably.

Hm?

Just as Ling Xiao stood up,

suddenly, he felt a bone-chilling cold throughout his body.

It was as if a pair of eyes were staring intently at him, making his blood feel like it was about to freeze.

He looked in the direction from where the gaze seemed to come.

His face turned extremely grim.

In the Green-eyed Clan, there was a middle-aged man of around forty years old, clad in all black. He was like an unsheathed blade ready to slaughter, his mere presence imposing a great pressure on those around him.

Of course, this wasn’t what made Ling Xiao’s expression change.

After all, his spirit was powerful, and the pressure exerted by the man standing a mile away wasn’t enough to instill fear in him.

The reason for his change in expression was the analysis from the Mountain and River Martial Spirit, which informed him that this person was even stronger than Master Baiyun!

Transcendent Realm!

This was the third Transcendent Realm martial artist he had encountered.

One was the lady in blue, another was Master Baiyun, and the third was this man.

The man in black flashed a cold smile at Ling Xiao as if looking at a group of corpses, devoid of any emotion.

Just then, the Ninth Layer Peak Martial Master of the Green-eyed Clan surprisingly issued a retreat order.

The defending soldiers of Yunkong City, thinking that the enemy was fleeing and hence caught up in the thrill of battle, were preparing to pursue them.

Lin Ze also stood up, ready to issue the command to chase.

"Lin Shuai, command everyone to retreat and form a defensive formation!"

Ling Xiao suddenly shouted loud.

No one understood why Ling Xiao would give such an order.

Lin Ze hesitated for a moment, but out of trust for Ling Xiao, he still changed the drum signal for attack to the sound of retreat.

The gong sounded.

Willing or not, as soldiers, they had to retreat.

The defending army that was about to give chase now retreated back up onto Guardian City Mountain, creating a new line of defense.

"Ling Xiao, what exactly is going on? I can’t explain this missed opportunity to the soldiers," said Lin Ze, although he had followed Ling Xiao’s orders, he still didn’t understand why.

Ling Xiao simply pointed toward the front without speaking.

Awoo~~

Just at that moment, a howl as if from hell itself rose, sending shivers through all the defending martial artists.

Lin Ze didn’t ask any more questions.

Because he knew that something terrifying was coming.

It was the howl of a wolf.

Yet following that howl, even the Ninth Layer Peak Monster Beasts trembled, let alone the other Monster Beasts.

On the defending army’s side, even the Ninth Layer Peak martial artists felt a constriction in their breathing and chaos in their True Essence, so oppressive they felt like they might vomit blood.

Thump, thump, thump...

A series of thuds sounded.

Martial artists below the Martial Master Realm simply fell over rigidly, the weaker their cultivation level, the worse their state.

They were lucky because of Ling Xiao’s warning. They hadn’t charged forward and were protected by the breath of the Ninth Layer experts on this side, so they were only severely injured.

If they really had charged forward, they would believe they’d all die, bleeding from the seven orifices.

"It’s a Ferocious Beast!"

Qi Yuan clenched his teeth and said.

"Ferocious Beast? The Monster Beasts in the legends that have broken through the Level 9 pinnacle barrier? Equivalent to transcendent realm martial artists among humans?"

Lin Ze asked in amazement, "Brother Qi, are you sure?"

"There’s no mistake, if there aren’t any Transcendent Realm martial artists here, then Yunkong City is definitely lost," Qi Yuan replied, his face turning ugly.

The terror of a Ferocious Beast was something he knew all too well. Even the slightly weaker Transcendent Realm martial artists would have to avoid them at all costs.

Not to mention that there were no such strong experts present here.

"Big brother, go and ask for our master!" Lin Ze looked anxiously at the White Cloud Sect Leader and shouted, "This concerns the lives of tens of millions in Yunkong City."

The White Cloud Sect Leader sighed and said, "With such tumult, master will surely know. If he wants to come, he will without doubt; if he doesn’t, no one can force him."
