“It’s not over yet!”
Immediately after, several more bone spikes pierced into Mahoraga’s chest, arms, thighs, and abdomen!
Bang!
The Sword of Extermination slashed across the Blood Skeleton’s body, violently carving away one of its arms and half of its ribcage.
But the Blood Skeleton refused to give up this time no matter what; he had already recognized Mahoraga’s uniqueness.
If he didn’t seize this opportunity to kill it, he would definitely be the one to die!
Though there was another way—immediate flight—since he wasn’t part of the Subjugation Ritual to begin with.
Unfortunately, he was unaware of such an absurd rule.
“Argh!!”
Pain erupted within his body.
The Blood Skeleton nearly failed to maintain his Martial Soul True Body, yet he persisted, swinging his right hand—which had transformed into a bone blade—horizontally toward Mahoraga’s waist.
The bone blade got stuck halfway through the swing, unable to cut through completely!
Click, click!
The Wheel turned again.
Sensing the mounting tension, the Blood Skeleton increased the force in his hand.
The monster’s regenerative power before him was too terrifying, especially when that Wheel above its head completed a full rotation—all its injuries would vanish instantly.
He had to, he absolutely had to kill it before then!
In the next moment, the Soul Saint began using a method unique to Fallen Soul Masters: burning his essence blood.
He knew that as long as he killed this monster, he could enter the city.
Blazing Fire City was bound to be alarmed by the Flame Demon Skeleton, and he could easily kill people amidst the chaos to recover from his injuries.
“Die for this old man!”
The bone blade savagely severed Mahoraga at the waist, while the blood energy throughout his body exploded along with the bone spikes, shredding Mahoraga until not a single piece of flesh remained intact.
This time, the monster had been practically reduced to mincemeat…
Surely, it couldn’t recover now?
Reverting to his original form, the Blood Skeleton panted heavily, clutching his severed arm and leg while using his hand to hold his intestines in.
He had been fine just now in his Martial Soul True Body form because he was a skeleton, but now that he had returned to his original form, his already heavy injuries became even more severe.
But it was fine.
At least the monster had been killed by him.
The Blood Skeleton felt like his blood hadn’t boiled like this in a long time.
The last time he felt this way was over fifty years ago, back when he wasn’t a Fallen Soul Master yet, but just an ordinary Great Soul Master.
If it weren’t for his lack of strength, and if his family hadn’t been killed by the so-called Upper Three Sects for talking back, how could he have ever walked the path of a Fallen Soul Master?
Images flashed rapidly through his mind; his past flickered by frame by frame like a revolving lantern.
A revolving lantern?
Realizing something, the Blood Skeleton looked down and saw a milky-white sword piercing through his heart!
“Actually…”
An unfamiliar boy’s voice came from behind.
Lin Li pressed down on the Blood Skeleton’s shoulder, withdrew the Sword of Extermination, and then plunged it into his throat.
“I should really thank you.”
Lin Li struck once more, this time severing the Blood Skeleton at the waist.
Then he turned and went to everyone’s side, piercing through their hearts and throats with his sword regardless of whether they were already dead.
Blood soaked the boy’s entire body.
Having long since reached his limit, he collapsed to the ground, his vision blurring.
It really was close.
If those people hadn’t held out until the Blood Skeleton arrived, if the Blood Skeleton hadn’t killed Mahoraga, if he hadn’t been heavily injured, if he had remained vigilant…
If even a single thing had gone differently, he would have been the one to die.
Lin Li let out a long breath of turbid air.
He could feel the injuries on his body recovering, both physical and mental.
A few minutes later, a red streak of light descended from the sky, accompanied by Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, and Feng Xiaotian.
Seeing this blood-stained forest, the four newcomers felt their stomachs churn, wanting to vomit.
The Soul Saint from Spirit Hall was the first to adapt to the pervasive smell of burning and blood.
He knelt beside Lin Li and channeled Soul Power into his body.
He had rushed over the moment he received the message, but he hadn’t expected to be a step too late; the battle was already over.
What was even more unexpected was that the outcome of the battle was actually the victory of this child, Lin Li?
How on earth did he do it?
On his way here, he had felt the aura of a Soul Saint’s Soul Power, specifically the kind used in a final deathbed struggle.
Because he was so shocked, although the Soul Saint knew he should focus on healing first, he still chose to ask:
“Child, were all these people killed by you?”
Unfortunately, Lin Li didn’t even have the strength to speak anymore.
On the other side, Feng Xiaotian and the other two finally slowly recovered.
They all knew that Lin Li had saved their lives.
No, even if they had all stayed, the result would have been the same!
“For now, let’s take him back to the city.
We need to find a healing Soul Master to treat his injuries.”
Huo Wushuang noticed that Lin Li’s body was covered in hematomas and bruises, and there were various wounds even on vital areas.
“You’re right, then we’ll take…”
“He seems to be called Lin Li…” Huo Wushuang said, reminiscing.
At that time, Lin Li had said he admired Huo Wushuang’s reputation as a genius.
Only now did Huo Wushuang realize that those were just polite words.
If anyone was a genius, who could be more of a genius than him?
“Then we shall take young friend Lin Li back to the city.
My Spirit Hall happens to have a healing Soul Master of the Soul Emperor level.
I expect she can heal his injuries.”
The Spirit Hall Soul Saint said as he picked Lin Li up by the waist and turned toward the city.
At the same time, to ensure that the jolting wouldn’t worsen Lin Li’s injuries, he also used his Soul Power to protect him.
He had already inquired on the way here; this child was not from Blazing Academy.
His coming to Blazing Fire City this time most likely meant he wanted to join Blazing Academy, but the Spirit Hall Soul Saint thought to himself that Spirit Hall could also intervene.
It would be too much of a loss not to snatch a genius of this level.
He was definitely a Titled Douluo seed!
In a short while, the Soul Saint expert returned to the Spirit Hall in Blazing Fire City under accelerated speed, and he immediately called for that healing Soul Emperor.
“Xiao Xi!
Quick!
Quickly treat this child!”
“I know, Hall Master.
Let me see.”
The originally somewhat languid young woman didn’t think much of it as she walked out, but when she saw a person covered in blood in the Hall Master’s arms, she immediately sharpened her focus.
“How is he so heavily injured?”
“It’s because…”
“Don’t talk, let me finish the treatment first.”
As she spoke, the sixth Soul Ring beneath the woman’s feet began to glow, and the healing staff in her palm released specks of green light that fell upon Lin Li.
“Sixth Soul Skill, Great Blood Recovery Technique!”
