Chapter 111 The Sixth Soul Ring (Part 2)
Shanya Marquis shrank his pupils when he heard the masked You Chen accurately speaking out his information.
Of course he found out that the person who was hunting Archaeopteryx this time was the recently emerged "Skynet" killer organization. He was indeed a little surprised that this force had the ability to hunt Archaeopteryx that had been cultivated for more than 50,000 years.
But he has always been disdainful of killers, who are rats in the gutter. As a noble, he does not take such shady forces to heart at all.
Nobles and soul masters pay attention to etiquette and interests.
A senior soul beast with rare ancient bloodline is indeed cherished, but is this enough for a small inner-world organization to be determined to conflict with such a huge force?
Of course not.
You must know that "Skynet" is a force operating in the Star Luo Empire.
It's okay to hide in the undercurrent of the world. If such a shady force dares to come forward and compete for interests with the forces in the outer world, countless people will swarm up and beat it to death!
And he, the Marquis of Shanya and Prince Antonio, will only be one of these forces.
As for silence?
Stop joking.
The man in front of me is definitely not a brainless person who can reveal his own intelligence so accurately in such a short period of time.
When he said these words, he must have known that even if he killed everyone present, he would not be able to prevent the leakage of information.
Because it is no secret that we are targeting Skynet's prey and trying to steal the results. There is no airtight wall in this world. Even if you can keep it a secret for a while, it will soon be known to everyone in the upper echelons of the Star Luo Empire.
And the result of this battle is that the Skynet organization still exists, but the Marquis of Shanya and Prince Antonio are missing? You can use your butt to figure out what's going on!
So, as long as Skynet still wants to live in the Star Luo Empire, or even says that it wants to live in the Douluo Continent, it cannot attack itself!
What's more... they are not necessarily our opponents.
It was precisely because of this result that Marquis Shanya was so confident after hearing what You Chen said to Ignis.
Then, Marquis Shanya heard——
"Everyone has it—a volley!"
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Compared to last year, there were more soul fighting beasts traveling this time with at least soul master combat power. More than fifty people took out their black fire crossbows and fired a volley, directly killing more than ten people on the opposite side. A hornet's nest was formed by wearing imperial uniforms.
Including the hostages who were kidnapped, they also did not survive.
However, compared to the expressions of the imperial sergeants who were not dead in peace, the hostages looked at Ignis with joy.
But Ignis, who had given the order to shoot and kill her companions together, showed no sign of wavering.
On her face was determination.
‘The Soul Fighting Beast is an organization born to change the situation of the beast-turned-mutants, but it is also an organization born for the benefit of the leader! The interests of the leader, and the future represented by the leader, are exactly the future of the beast-turned-mutants! ’
This is Ignis’s idea, and it is also the idea of all the soul fighting beasts!
In Ignis’s mind, the most important thing as a leader is to understand the purpose of one’s actions and the purpose of the organization’s existence!
Once you confirm this, you just need to follow this direction and implement it unswervingly!
There should be no hesitation in this!
They are here to help the leader obtain the soul ring! In this case, even if you are hostile to the empire, you must give top priority to helping the leader obtain the soul ring!
Looking at Ignis' decisive order, You Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Actually, You Chen doesn't care whether Ignis chooses to avoid his sharp edges or puts his interests first.
Because even You Chen himself cannot determine which option is absolutely correct.
So no matter what Ignis chooses, You Chen will not be blamed for it.
The important thing is that as a leader, you must have the courage to make decisions!
Rather than grinding, being overwhelmed by pressure, and being frightened by the opponent's momentum!
Ignis obviously gave an answer that satisfied You Chen.
The technology of the Black Fire Crossbow has not yet been revolutionized. However, even the Black Fire Crossbow from a year and a half ago could kill the Soul Emperor if he was caught off guard.
The distance between the two camps is only a few dozen meters. With the speed of fire of the Black Fire Crossbow, it really only takes a moment.
None of the nearly twenty sergeants gathered by the Marquis of Sanya and Prince Antonio for this operation responded.
Nearly twenty strong men at the weakest Soul King level and the highest peak Soul Emperor were all killed in just an instant.
Only the Marquis of Shanya managed to survive, but he was also seriously injured.
Weapons like the Black Fire Crossbow are designed to attack humans, and are insufficient against large creatures such as spirit beasts. But if they penetrate a human being, a single crossbow arrow will cause heavy damage to a large area.
After being targeted and penetrated by dozens of crossbow arrows, Earl Shanya reacted and possessed the Wild Boar King's martial spirit. Then he turned around and tried to escape without hesitation, without even bothering to notify Zheng Zheng. Prince Antonio and others were hunting Archaeopteryx in the distance.
The Marquis of Shanya felt a cold air rushing straight to his forehead.
‘How dare you? How dare they! ? What a killer group, this is a group of lunatics! The man who gives the order is a madman, the one who carries out the order without hesitation is a madman, and the man who seems to have done nothing but leaves the decision-making power to the madman is also a madman! And that weapon, what the hell are those weapons! ? How could there be such a ghost thing that the Soul Lord and Soul Sect could directly kill the Soul Emperor and severely injure the Soul Saint if it were taken by the Soul Sect! ? ’
Hunfei fled at full speed in fear. At the speed of the Soul Saint, even if Marquis Shanya was an attack-type Soul Saint, it would be difficult for a group of Soul Fighting Beasts to even aim.
Ignis stopped everyone from getting involved with a direct gesture. She turned her eyes and saw that the ethereal figure had grown beautiful white wings and quickly caught up.
Even before the injury, Marquis Shanya was not as fast as You Chen, let alone after the injury?
In just a few breaths, You Chen came to the Marquis of Shanya and looked into each other's eyes.
The Marquis of Shanya was already in a state of fright, his spirit and will were flustered and fragile. Under the You Chen Soul-Destroying Technique, he instantly lost his sight and fell to the ground.
It is much easier to kill a lost and defenseless human soul master than a lost and lost soul beast.
You Chen's dragon-transformed arm quickly used Fengdong Fist's variant soul skill "Wind Claw", which penetrated Marquis Shanya's chest neatly, ending Marquis Shanya's life in an instant.
After completing all this, You Chen quickly returned to the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Your participation is no longer required for the next thing. After erasing all traces of the scene, quickly return to the base camp and assemble everyone. The beast soldiers and beast envoys who are out are preparing to move their positions. After I finish the matter here, I will come to help as soon as possible. All missions and intelligence collection work will be stopped for a long time. !”
Ignis’s pupils shrank: “But, leader, there are probably at least two soul saints in Archaeopteryx. If we help, even if it’s just me, we can—”< br>
"This is the leader's order."
You Chen said calmly, he stared at Ignis: "They need your protection, but I don't."
As soon as the words fell, You Chen's breath quickly disappeared.
Ignis gritted her teeth, unable to conceal her unwillingness, but she finally turned around and said: "Everyone, evacuate quickly!"
......
Another On the side, You Chen had already gathered all his aura and silently approached the distant place where the soul beast and the soul master were fighting.
Such a huge surprise would occur in this operation, and it might even lead to the destruction of the intelligence network that Soul Fighter Beast had built over the years, which was naturally beyond You Chen's expectations.
But... this kind of accident cannot be absolutely avoided.
When a soul beast reaches a certain age, it is an absolutely rare resource, especially for those soul masters with suitable attributes, it is an absolute resource that must be fought for.
Since in order to reduce the search time, the intelligence network is used to collect information on target senior soul beasts, it is inevitable that one day conflicts with other soul masters will occur.
It’s just that there are only so many soul rings, and they need to be hunted only a few times. Some soul masters just don’t encounter this situation in their careers.
If you really want to be resentful, you can only blame God for not fulfilling your wishes. You Chen was not too upset. He soon returned to a calm state of mind. He knew that as time went by, Prince Antonio and others would definitely discover that Marquis Shanya and others had lost contact.
The reason why I haven't come over to check the situation now is probably because the battle is fierce and I have no time to care.
You Chen did not spend much time and soon approached the edge of the human-animal battlefield.
Visible to the naked eye, Archaeopteryx is at a disadvantage.
It was constantly controlled by a control soul saint led by several soul emperors, and could never leave the battle line.
On the other hand, a handsome young man wearing platinum knight armor, blond hair, and holding a sword with raging winds was constantly surrounded by extremely strong wind power. He attacked Archaeopteryx again and again. There were more scars on his body.
But he himself was by no means unscathed.
Archaeopteryx will shoot out nearly invisible, silk-like air blades from time to time, attacking the knight in front of it again and again.
Use claws, beak, wings, tail, and even feathers!
It’s as if Archaeopteryx’s entire body is filled with air blade launchers!
If the knights hadn't constantly surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao and actively withstood most of the damage, more than half of the surrounding soul masters responsible for assistance and control would have been killed or injured in a short period of time.
Even so, there will be casualties from time to time.
This powerful and highly concealed air blade, Archaeopteryx's signature skill, is the reason why You Chen chose it as his sixth soul ring.
After finding out the perfect evolution ratio, You Chen decided to choose pure wind soul rings for all five, six and seven rings of his large body.
There are actually many types of soul beasts to choose from. You Chen actually doesn’t care that much about the specific soul skills.
Especially for the fifth and sixth rings, You Chen did not demand extreme perfection.
There was no reason why he chose Archaeopteryx. It was just because he was of the right age and had good qualities in all aspects. As for the unique skill of acquiring the opponent's air blade, it could only be regarded as an added bonus.
After the control of his own soul skills reaches the level of Yan's martial soul talent, You Chen can also refer to the soul ring soul skills to enhance the speed of practice of wind attribute changes or form changes.
Archaeopteryx's air blade can be said to be an ultimate change in wind attribute properties.
Of course, obtaining the air blade can make You Chen stronger, but without this, another soul skill will not be much weaker.
You Chen did not explain this to Ignis to interfere with her judgment.
Because it is true that it is better to use the Archaeopteryx soul ring. Compared with the choice one level lower, his strength at this stage may be 20 to 30% weaker. Looking into the future, he may end up being much weaker. to 10%.
However, sometimes it is difficult to tell whether this 10% change in strength that cannot be seen in the long run will lead to a change in the ending of the story.
And some things, since they have been done, it is natural that they must be done.
When Archaeopteryx was weakened again, it was most likely that the armored knight of Prince Antonio was preparing to contact the Marquis of Shanya. You Chen used the Soul-Destroying Technique on it... followed closely. It's a storm!
You Chen didn't even plan to use the Fengliu Claw. In order to prevent this kind of dear heir from hiding any black technology of life-saving soul guidance, he directly used the strongest killing move at present!
After taking strength pills, speed pills and other pills, You Chen's attack was so powerful that even Contra would never dare to take it!
The group of soul masters looked at You Chen who suddenly appeared and wanted to take the life of their master. They were frightened out of their wits. The soul master immediately gave up the control of Archaeopteryx and attacked You Chen from the air. He used his strongest control move, intending to reverse You Chen's offensive.
However, this time You Chen didn’t even look at it, he forcefully swallowed the Soul Saint’s attack, and forcibly completed the perfect blend of Fengyundong!
What made the Soul Saint risk his life was that he hit You Chen with all his strength. Not only was he unable to change his offensive, he also failed to break through the defense at all!
Even if he only controls the Soul Saint, even if he performs the move in a hurry, the opponent's defense is too terrifying, isn't it? It’s a defensive soul saint! ? But how did the Defense Soul Saint sneak in here without anyone noticing, and how did he easily lock his master in place? ?
Before the Soul Saint could figure it out, You Chen's Fengyundong had already used it.
For a while, heaven and earth were silent.
The knight in armor had his head blown off!
Even before You Chen's fist was about to fall on his head, an inexplicable golden light suddenly lit up. In the face of this terrifying power, it still failed to stop You Chen even for a moment!
It only took an instant for You Chen to suddenly appear and kill the prince with the power of the Soul Saint in one fell swoop.
But at this moment, there was a creature that reacted faster than anyone else!
When Archaeopteryx saw that the person who threatened it the most suddenly stopped attacking, the person who restricted it the most also changed its target. It immediately seized this gap and went crazy and exploded with all its strength.
Due to the overwhelming number of air blades, even if it is just a tiny blade that cannot be seen at all, with such a large number, it is naturally clearly visible!
In just a moment, except for You Chen and the control soul saint, all the other soul masters present were pierced by the air blade and died suddenly!
"Sip sip sip!!!"
Archaeopteryx screamed loudly, and flew into the sky regardless of the blood flowing from its body!
In response, You Chen seemed to have shot out the roar of the wind dragon very hastily, but he just barely missed the tail feathers of the Archaeopteryx, and ultimately failed to keep the soul beast behind despite its desperate efforts.
"I am willing to be a slave and a maid. From now on, I will respect you. Can you spare my life!?"
Looking at this murderous man who suddenly appeared and caused the annihilation of our entire army, The control soul saint, who was pierced by many air blades and still bleeding from his body, suddenly made a sound.
Compared to his own misery, You Chen forcefully ate the air blade and only suffered some minor injuries on his body.
The control soul saint naturally chose to offer his loyalty very wisely.
But Youchen didn't need the loyalty of this guy who didn't know the details at all, so he chose to fight without saying a word.
And the result of the battle speaks for itself.
He was indeed a soul saint who could serve as a guest in the Antonio family. When You Chen did not use the soul-deterring technique, he lasted for several minutes before dying.
And You Chen's reason for not using the soul-destroying art is also very simple.
With his current remaining mental power, if he wants to avoid problems with his clone in Notting City, for a Soul Saint-level existence, using the Soul-Destroying Technique once more is almost the upper limit.
And this last time...of course it will be left to Archaeopteryx.
The seemingly useless roar of the wind dragon is naturally not aimless.
Just like what he did to Hu Liena, You Chen also left a spiritual imprint on Archaeopteryx.
To maintain the spiritual imprint, the consumption of mental power is indispensable, which is one of the reasons why You Chen does not use the soul-deterring technique for the control-type soul saint.
“After working hard for so long, it’s finally time to reap the fruits.”
Even with You Chen’s patience, he couldn’t help but sigh.
After obtaining the location of the Archaeopteryx, there are no other obstacles, and the Archaeopteryx is now basically injured and dying, so the next harvest is naturally a matter of course.
Just four hours later, You Chen completed the hunt for the Archaeopteryx and absorbed the soul ring.
"The sixth soul skill, Air Blade, was successfully obtained!"
You Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes and showed a faint smile.
Immediately, he reached out and made a move, a dark black soul ring rotated, and countless undetectable thin blades appeared out of thin air, instantly plowing the ground in front of him into a piece of powder.
Seventy thousand year soul ring soul skill, air blade. As a soul ring soul skill, a soul master naturally cannot send and receive it as freely as a soul beast. He can freely control the output of one air blade or thousands of air blades. Once used, the output is close to the output of Archaeopteryx's last burst.
However, with You Chen's soul power control, he was able to quickly "automatize" this soul skill and achieve the most preliminary use. In a sense, it is equivalent to being able to control it autonomously like Archaeopteryx, but the upper limit is not high for the time being.
In addition to soul skills, the Star Skeleton Dragon Martial Spirit has also been strengthened accordingly. In terms of speed bonus alone, it has probably reached "quasi-super performance". Coupled with the improvement of the fifth soul ring, the Star Skeleton Dragon Martial Soul's rating All have reached the top level.
Of course, scores are scores, and quality is quality. You Chen can feel that the origin of his martial soul has not sublimated in essence, and it still belongs to the advanced martial soul level.
You Chen was naturally very satisfied with this result and couldn't help but hum.
However, there is an unexpected surprise in absorbing the soul ring this time.
