As soon as he finished speaking, the lion’s body trembled violently.
A violent surge of fire-attribute soul power erupted from his body.
The surrounding air instantly became incredibly hot.
A gigantic, fiery lion phantom materialized behind him.
The fiery lion had a mane like fire, eyes like torches, and could spew out scorching flames from its mouth.
Two yellow, two purple, and four black spirit rings rose from the lion’s feet, slowly rotating around his imposing body.
Although the configuration of the first six spirit rings was the same as that of Yue Guan and Gui Mei, the two extra black spirit rings and the aura emitted by each spirit ring were far beyond what a six-ring spirit emperor could compare to.
The pressure from the eight-ring Soul Douluo was like a mountain crushing down, and Yue Guan and Gui Mei simultaneously felt their bodies sink.
“Old ghost, scatter!” The two figures retreated rapidly, scattering to the left and right.
Yue Guan took a deep breath, and the power of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum within his body began to circulate.
The opponent’s soul power was more than ten levels higher than theirs, and he also had the support of a Martial Soul True Body.
Even if he had an invincible golden body, he could not easily confront him head-on.
There is an even more troublesome problem right now: fire has a natural advantage over the dark attribute of ghosts.
If a fight really breaks out, ghosts will be at a greater disadvantage.
However, Ghost is an agility-type Soul Master with extremely high speed and unpredictable attack methods.
Even when facing a stronger opponent, he has a way to escape.
“Old Ghost, I’ll hold him off.
You go first, we’ll meet up later!” “What nonsense are you spouting?!
We’re brothers, we fight together, we die together!” The ghost was unwilling to desert its post.
Although Yue Guan possesses an incredibly strong defensive invincible golden body, its duration is limited and it consumes a great deal of soul power.
Leaving Yue Guan to fight alone, the odds are against him.
“Hahaha~~~ You two are indeed a pair of partners who will share life and death.
Considering your backbone, I will give you another chance.
Join the Spirit Hall, and I will pretend that everything before never happened.” “Go to the Spirit Hall, and become a dog like you?” Yue Guan snorted coldly, his face full of disdain.
He wasn’t entirely without confidence in facing this eight-ring Soul Douluo-level powerhouse.
The Lion’s strongest soul skill is currently its eighth soul skill – All Beasts Bow Down.
This soul skill has extremely strong control; when used, it can control all beast warrior soul masters below the Soul Saint level.
However, neither he nor the ghost possessed beast-type martial souls, so they were naturally not subject to the lion’s control.
Moreover, all of the lion’s attack methods are fire-based.
He already possesses immunity to both ice and fire, making him unafraid of raging flames, and he can also control ice-attribute soul power.
The lion was furious when Yue Guan mocked him.
“You ignorant brat!
How dare you humiliate this old man!” The lion roared, and the flaming lion phantom behind it suddenly expanded, with scorching waves of air spreading outwards like a tide.
“Since you insist on courting death, then I will grant your wish!” Lions are proud and arrogant, and they always look down on others.
In his eyes, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were nothing more than ignorant and arrogant young lads.
Sixth Ring Road hitting Eighth Ring Road?
There are two whole major levels apart, and in between lies the insurmountable chasm of the Martial Soul True Body.
Even if these two people have some special qualities, it is absolutely impossible to bridge such a gap.
Yue Guan glanced at the ghost.
“Old Ghost, don’t waste your soul power, hold on!” The ghost nodded.
Without needing to say more, he already understood Yue Guan’s meaning.
Facing a Soul Douluo of level 85 or higher, conventional methods certainly won’t give you a chance of winning.
Their Martial Soul Fusion Technique was their biggest trump card, but it was useless at this moment.
Moreover, given the lion’s combat experience and strength, they would absolutely not give them a chance to unleash their full potential.
But things have developed to this point, and this battle is now unavoidable.
Yue Guan’s eyes were resolute.
This battle will be a good opportunity to test their current strength.
If you can’t even get past the level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo, how can you fight a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast?
Of course, when fighting someone of a higher level, you can’t just confront them head-on; you have to use strategy.
“I’d like to see just how much you two ignorant brats really are worth!” Before the lion could finish speaking, his sixth spirit ring suddenly lit up.
He suddenly threw out his right fist, and dozens of blazing fire-attribute soul power condensed in front of his fist into flame bullets, which covered Yue Guan and Gui Mei like a tidal wave.
This is a ranged attack soul skill that has both the power of single-target burst damage and the effect of area-of-effect damage.
Each flamethrower is the size of two fists and explodes immediately upon contact with its target, causing immense damage.
Yue Guan swayed and dodged behind an ancient tree that required two people to encircle.
Rumble— Under the bombardment of the incendiary bombs, the entire tree shook violently, and several holes were blasted into its thick trunk.
Without stopping, Yue Guan continued to move to the side, using the trees as cover.
The ghost is faster.
He moved with lightning speed, darting left and right through the woods.
Although the incendiary bombs covered a wide area, they were unable to pinpoint his location.
The fireball either crashed to the ground or struck a large tree.
Trees collapsed, mud flew everywhere, and the battlefield was a mess.
After several rounds, Yue Guan and Gui Mei mainly focused on dodging and did not launch any counterattacks.
In battles against powerful enemies, not a single ounce of soul power can be wasted.
Moreover, their soul skill attacks are unlikely to pose a substantial threat to the lion.
“Hmph!
Hiding and running away, what kind of skill is that?!” “What a joke!
Are you suggesting we just wait to die instead of hiding?” Yue Guan retorted without hesitation, deliberately provoking the lion.
The lion was indeed enraged and roared to the sky.
“Boy, you can’t escape my grasp!” The lion had already made its judgment.
The ghost’s speed was indeed fast, so fast that even he, a Soul Douluo, could hardly match it.
But so what?
The dark-attribute Ghost Shadow Martial Soul is countered by his fire attribute.
No matter how strange the ghostly attacks were, they couldn’t get close to his fiery body and could be ignored.
Although Yue Guan’s speed is not as fast as Gui Mei’s, his adaptability and resilience far surpass those of other Soul Masters of the same level.
We must deal with him first.
Once he dies, the Ghostly Demon will be powerless to fight alone, and will no longer have any martial soul fusion skills.
The lion’s seventh spirit ring suddenly shone brightly, releasing its true spirit form.
The phantom of the blazing lion merged completely with him.
His eyes turned crimson gold, and he exhaled scorching breath, transforming himself into a giant fire beast!
At this moment, the momentum reached its peak, and the speed also increased several times over.
Yue Guan’s pupils contracted.
The old man charged straight toward him.
A red afterimage was left in the air, and it was already close in the blink of an eye.
“Kid, let’s see where you run!” The lion raised its right fist high, ready to launch a powerful blow.
He had figured out Yue Guan’s speed; it was much slower than Gui Mei’s.
With the boost from his Martial Soul True Body, he was certain that Yue Guan couldn’t dodge this punch.
