Chapter 117 One Head, One Soul Ring
"Agumon, ask it. When I was looking at the cold pool earlier, its mental attack almost blew my head off. If I hadn't defended against it then, you wouldn't be talking to it now. How do you plan to settle this?"
"Yes, it wants to kill Xiao Yan, so there's no room for negotiation."
Agumon nodded and looked at the Purple Spirit Wolf. One of its heads was still roaring, trying to explain, while the other instantly changed its expression.
It clearly understood Xiao Yan's meaning: since you once wanted to kill me, what reason do I have to let you go?
So it interrupted the explanation from its other head and started discussing things on its own. This time, the language was extremely strange. Agumon strained its ears to try and understand, but could only make out a few words.
It seems that soul beasts also have their own unique language systems. If they don't want you to understand, then there's no way you can understand what they're trying to express.
"Xiao Yan, I don't understand." Agumon turned around somewhat embarrassed to explain to Xiao Yan. After all, in his own opinion, he could translate back and forth just now, but now he suddenly couldn't understand it.
"Agumon, watch out!" Xiao Yan kept a close eye on the situation in the small cave. At this moment, the twin Purple Spirit Wolf's two heads had obviously reached a consensus. Although it was unclear whether they were running away together or fighting together, they had clearly cut off the path of begging for mercy.
The moment they made their decision, it charged fiercely at Agumon. It knew that Agumon was a fire-attribute spirit beast, so if it dragged him into the pool with it, this human would definitely be unable to do anything to it.
However, Xiao Yan's timely reminder meant that the weakened Agumon was only slower, but that did not mean his reaction was slow.
The moment he heard Xiao Yan's reminder, he immediately shifted his position to stabilize his base, raised his right claw, and slammed it down into the air.
"Snapped!"
A powerful palm strike landed on one of the Purple Spirit Wolf's heads, catching it completely off guard.
Its body was also thrown in another direction due to the impact with Agumon, and due to inertia, it was forced to drag on the ground for a while.
The intense pain finally returned to its body after it landed. It looked in horror at its injured area, where its head should have been, which was now a bloody mess, with blood gushing out and the mangled flesh and bone exposed to the air.
Meanwhile, the other head of the Purple Spirit Wolf, having exhausted the power of Agumon's claw, rolled onto the open ground on the other side. Its eyes were wide open, as if it had not realized what had happened in an instant.
"Hey, so what if you're slow? As long as you adapt to the current speed and do some calculations, my attacks can still hit you, right?"
Such combat talent made Xiao Yan praise it in his heart. After adapting to the weakness debuff in a short time, Agumon attacked according to the opponent's movement time and the possible location at each time point. What a calm mindset!
With the power amplified by the third soul skill, Titan bloodline, Agumon's all-out claw attack actually tore off the head of the Purple Spirit Wolf. This was something Xiao Yan hadn't expected. Was this absolute power?
The head that rolled to the ground finally stopped breathing, and at the same time, a dark spirit ring slowly lit up from its body.
Xiao Yan was surprised to see this. This was clearly a soul beast, and it had only lost its head. How could it have produced a soul ring?
Of course, now is not a good time to absorb soul rings, after all, the Purple Spirit Wolf, which only has one head left, is looking at him and Agumon with very venomous eyes.
It seems we'll have to deal with them both at once and send them to the underworld to keep each other company.
As Xiao Yan sighed, he saw the last remaining head opening its mouth wide. In an instant, Xiao Yan realized that the creature was definitely not simply about to roar.
"Agumon, cover your ears!"
As expected, the only remaining head of the Purple Spirit Wolf began to wail as soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking.
As Xiao Yan spoke to Agumon, he also covered his ears with his hands. Even so, the penetrating roar still stimulated his eardrums. The sound echoed through the cave walls and then reflected to form even larger sound waves. This roar clearly contained the mental attack of the Purple Spirit Wolf.
However, Agumon looked completely bewildered. He looked at Xiao Yan, who was painfully covering his ears, and then at the Purple Spirit Wolf, which was still roaring. He didn't understand what was happening. He just thought the Purple Spirit Wolf's roar was awful.
Seriously? Without ears, you're not afraid of sonic attacks?
Xiao Yan looked at Agumon, who couldn't touch its ears, and felt a little envious.
The sound was extremely penetrating, and at this moment it even spread along the rock wall and extended outside the cave.
Upon sensing the power contained within the sound, Dugu Bo immediately frowned. He waved his hand, attempting to use his poisonous soul power to interfere with the direction of the sound waves.
At this moment, Tang San was still sitting cross-legged, but the color of the spirit ring floating above his head was getting weaker and weaker, obviously he had reached the end of absorbing the spirit ring and was about to succeed.
However, as Dugu Bo waved his sleeve, although the space in front of him seemed to distort, the sound waves still came quickly. Tang San, who was sitting cross-legged, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, the Blue Silver Grass seedling on his head began to exert its power to nourish him. However, the Blue Silver Grass seedling, which has the power to heal life, could not repair spiritual power. Tang San cried out in pain, out of control. At this moment, there seemed to be a faint purple light in Tang San's eyes.
In an instant, the Blue Silver Grass on his right hand began to grow wildly and uncontrollably. Dugu Bo nervously turned his head to look at Tang San who was absorbing the soul ring, but suddenly his eyes widened. At this moment, the other party's left hand was also condensing soul power, and what was covered by the soul power was an ancient and straight hammer!
What is this?! Dual-Element Martial Soul!
Dugu Bo frowned. There was no mistake, absolutely no mistake. Tang San's surname was Tang, and this hammer was the Haotian Hammer.
Unexpectedly, the child beside Xiao Yan was actually a member of the Haotian Sect. Then everything made sense. Dugu Bo began to understand. No wonder Tang San, who had been in contact with Xiao Yan since he was six years old, still had a sense of darkness.
After all, the Clear Sky Sect withdrew from the Soul Master world after that incident a few years ago. In that sense, Tang San was someone the Clear Sky Sect intentionally planted next to Xiao Yan as an undercover agent to become his friend.
I never imagined the Haotian Sect was so treacherous, even willing to use a six-year-old child.
Thinking about this, Dugu Bo couldn't understand why the Haotian Sect would arrange for a six-year-old child to approach Xiao Yan. At that time, Xiao Yan had only just awakened his martial soul, so how could they see his exceptional talent?
Could it be that the rumors circulating in the two empires are true, and Xiao Yan is indeed the illegitimate son of some major sect? However, when I mentioned the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect to him, he didn't react much. It's obvious that Ning Fengzhi isn't familiar with Xiao Yan either.
If it were the Star Luo Empire, there wouldn't be such a powerful sect.
No, no, that's not right.
Dugu Bo immediately overturned his assumptions above. Tang San called Xiao Yan "elder brother," and Xiao Yan's talent was extraordinary. Xiao Yan must be the illegitimate son of the Haotian Sect Master!
It must be.
Dugu Bo placed his left hand on his chest, and made a fist with his right hand, which then fell from above into the palm of his left hand.
After all, the little monster was originally a mutated martial soul. Who said that a hammer martial soul can't mutate into a beast? Maybe Xiao Yan's mother had a beast martial soul, which would explain everything.
The young master of the Clear Sky Sect went out to train, so he sent a twin martial soul genius from the clan who was also quite talented to accompany him. As for Xiao Yan, he seemed to be unaware of Tang San's background, which can only be explained by the fact that Xiao Yan did not know anything about his own background.
No wonder Tang San always looked at me with a wary and sinister gaze. Let alone being Xiao Yan's attendant, Tang San might actually be a death squad that the Haotian Sect was keeping for Xiao Yan.
"Could it be that the Clear Sky Sect, after being silent for so long, is finally unable to resist coming out of seclusion?" However, in Dugu Bo's view, this was understandable. With a sect disciple as talented as Xiao Yan, what did it matter if his martial soul was not the Clear Sky Hammer?
No, since Tang San has twin martial souls, Xiao Yan might also have them. You little monster, hiding it from me so well.
Dugu Bo shook his head and sighed. If Tang San hadn't been absorbing a spirit ring and hadn't lost his own consciousness, he might never have discovered Xiao Yan's secret in his lifetime.
Thinking of this, the Wandering Douluo glanced at Tang San. Fortunately, the first wave of sonic attacks did not cause him too much damage. This little brat had taken it on his own. As a Title Douluo, Dugu Bo certainly would not allow a little Soul Master to absorb a Soul Ring and get injured in front of him.
Before he could think it through, another wave of attacks came one after another. Dugu Bo had tried his best to interrupt it, and naturally felt the spiritual power in it. Having already suffered a loss once, Dugu Bo immediately used his skull soul skill, which was also his only spiritual power method.
Under Medusa's gaze, his eyes shot out lasers, which were surprisingly effective. His mental energy froze the sound waves in the air, a limitation of mental energy on mental energy.
Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief, then squinted at the cave entrance. However, apart from the corpse of the one-eyed scaled beast lying on the ground, he could see nothing. After all, Xiao Yan was fighting the soul beast deep inside the cave.
"However, the sound waves of this mental-type soul beast are truly terrifying. Even from this far away, I can still be affected by its mental power. The little monster is right. If I rashly go in, I might fall into its trap. I wonder if the little monster can handle it."
……
"Without the soaking of the pool water, the power of your cry is only so-so," Xiao Yan said mockingly, covering his ears. At this moment, he had already ordered the Agu Beast to block the entrance to the pool water to prevent the Zi Ling Bei from jumping in.
In fact, he knew that the Purple Spirit Wolf could not make a mournful cry in the water. After all, sound can be transmitted in water, but how much power would it have left when it reached the shore?
As he was muttering to himself, Xiao Yan nodded to Agumon. Agumon immediately understood. The one-headed Purple Spirit Wolf in front of him was in much worse condition than before. It was clear that although it could survive without a head, it was not in a good state at the moment.
Now, it's time to wrap things up. Xiao Yan's three spirit rings lit up one after another.
The moment the yellow spirit ring was cast on Agumon, Agumon turned its head toward Xiao Yan, clearly intending to unleash flames at him.
However, this action left the vigilant Zi Ling completely bewildered.
In fact, under the weakened aura, Agumon's flames were definitely not accurate enough to hit the opponent. Xiao Yan had originally planned to use Digital Migration to unleash a fireball, but if it didn't kill in one hit, the opponent would be even more difficult to kill later. Moreover, using a second soul skill on a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast would definitely consume a lot of his soul power.
Fortunately, the twin purple spirit jackals were too arrogant and tried to drag Agumon into the pool of water, which resulted in them being hit by Agumon's claw, causing Xiao Yan to change his strategy.
To Zi Lingbei, Agumon's actions now seem like a fight between humans and Agumon, a fight between the two. But how could it know the effect of Xiao Yan's second soul skill?
As the scorching fireball was unleashed, the Purple Spirit Wolf felt that the scene before her eyes suddenly seemed unreal, and then the fireball hurtled towards her head.
This was the last thing it ever saw in its life.
The intensely hot flames quickly scorched the Purple Spirit Wolf's body. This soul beast, which had no defensive capabilities and a low fire resistance, was burned to ashes in no time in the eyes of Xiao Yan and the Agu Beast.
As the ashes from the burned corpse dissipated in the air, what came into Xiao Yan's view was a black ten-thousand-year soul ring.
Although he didn't know why, just as Xiao Yan had predicted, it really did produce a spirit ring from a single head. But what surprised him was not the so-called two ten-thousand-year spirit rings.
Instead, next to the black ten-thousand-year soul ring, a skull was emerging, emitting specks of purple light in the dim cave.
