Chapter 322 Battle with Soul Tools.
"A soul beast!"
Xuan Mo and the other two turned around, their gazes fixed on the sand.
Then, a soul beast, roughly the size of an ordinary crocodile, with a snake-like voice, resembling a lizard but not quite, crawled out from the sand dunes swept by the black sandstorm, its eyes fixed menacingly on the group.
"I've never seen this kind of soul beast before!"
Seeing the soul beast climb onto the pile of stones, its eyes filled with bloodlust, and its body covered in scales, it looked extremely ferocious. Although Ma Hongjun didn't recognize it, he was eager to try.
With his martial soul possessed, Ma Hongjun excitedly said, "Brother Mo, this time it's my turn to perform! Leave this giant lizard to me!"
Sensing the aura emanating from the lizard-like soul beast before him, Ma Hongjun had complete confidence in his strength.
Meanwhile, Dong Tianchi, having survived the black sandstorm, felt much calmer. Seeing this, he immediately took out a knife from his storage soul tool, which seemed to be a suitable soul tool. Then, smiling at Ma Hongjun, he said, "Little brother, this isn't a lizard, but a unique soul beast here—the Black Sand Dragon. You can't handle it. So leave it to me."
Ma Hongjun, upon hearing this, immediately became defiant.
"Hey! Who do you think you are? Watch me!"
He was about to unfurl his Phoenix Fire Wings and swoop down.
However, at that moment, Xuan Mo suddenly placed a hand on Ma Hongjun's shoulder, stopping him. While Ma Hongjun was puzzled, Xuan Mo calmly said, "Don't act rashly. Listen carefully. There's more than one here..."
Just as Xuan Mo finished speaking,
"Shhhh!"
The sound of sand rubbing against sand continued.
Suddenly, a barely visible cave appeared in the sand beside the Gobi Desert. Then, from this barely visible sand cave emerged a giant python, its body exuding the aura of sand.
Clearly, this giant python was also a soul beast.
Its scales were the same color as the Gobi Desert, and they were even bursting open! Various scars were laid bare on the scales. Moreover, the giant python's forehead protruded enormously, a truly terrifying sight!
At this moment, it had climbed the nearby Gobi Desert, coiling menacingly before Xuan Mo and the others.
What caught Xuan Mo's attention even more was that the appearance of this serpentine spirit beast didn't provoke the hostility of the nearby Black Sand Dragon; rather, it seemed as if the two spirit beasts had been preparing to join forces, one openly and one covertly, to hunt them down.
However, since they had already exposed themselves, and given the imposing aura emanating from both spirit beasts, Xuan Mo remained calm and showed no sign of urgency after about twenty thousand years.
Dong Tianchi immediately activated his Martial Soul, black fur appearing all over his body, a pair of fangs protruding from his mouth, five spirit rings—one white, two yellow, and two purple—surrounding him, and his spirit tool, the "blade," gripped tightly in his hand.
Clearly, although he cultivated a Martial Soul, his true fighting style leaned towards using spirit tools.
At this moment, Dong Tianchi's eyes flashed with excitement. "Little brother, there's no need to fight now! This Desert Rock Python and the Black Sand Dragon are about the same strength, we'll each take one."
Ma Hongjun, who had been eager to fight, grinned when Xuan Mo didn't object: "Since that's the case, let's go!"
Before he finished speaking, Dong Tianchi had already charged forward, displaying speed disproportionate to his burly physique. His blade flashed, aiming directly at the seemingly more ferocious Black Sand Dragon.
The Black Sand Dragon, enraged, saw Dong Tianchi's provocation and raised its massive head, like a locomotive, charging straight at Dong Tianchi.
Seeing Dong Tianchi's figure flash by, Ma Hongjun, disregarding all pride, chose to attack first.
A phoenix flame spewed from its mouth, sweeping down towards the Desert Rock Python on the Gobi Desert…
Meanwhile, on the other side…
Xuan Mo and Verus didn't make a move. After all, Dong Tianchi and Ma Hongjun were capable of handling these two soul beasts, a fact everyone knew.
However, Xuan Mo's attention wasn't on Ma Hongjun, but rather on Dong Tianchi.
He had tried fighting using soul tools before, but only as a means to utilize soul skills.
This was a good opportunity to observe...
At this moment, Dong Tianchi, wielding his soul tool blade, slammed it heavily onto the head of the Black Sand Dragon.
But only a "whoosh" was heard!
Immediately afterward, facing the Black Sand Dragon's gaping maw aimed at his right arm, Dong Tianchi didn't hesitate. He stomped his foot on the Gobi Desert, quickly pulling himself back.
Simultaneously, his eyes deepened, his second soul ring lit up, and a black energy sphere gathered in his mouth. Then, in the next second, he blasted it directly into the Black Sand Dragon's mouth.
"Boom!"
As the yellow sand billowed up, the Black Sand Dragon remained unharmed; instead, Dong Tianchi's strike had ignited its ferocity.
Seeing the Black Sand Dragon now even more menacing, Dong Tianchi, who had witnessed many such situations, showed no fear or panic. He lightly flicked his soul-guided blade while subtly channeling his own soul power into it.
His aura remained largely unchanged, but the sharpness of his soul-guided blade was even more profound than before.
He stepped onto the Gobi Desert and landed heavily.
Although it stirred up a cloud of yellow sand, the massive body wielded its soul-guided blade and charged forward with even greater speed this time.
This strike, more like an axe slash, was a ferocious and unparalleled blow, aimed directly at the Black Sand Dragon.
The two collided again.
It must be said that the Black Sand Dragon had clearly experienced countless fierce battles; its scales, now bristling with a sharp, eerie light, seemed capable of tearing anything it touched.
And when it saw the direction of Dong Tianchi's blade, the soul beast reacted instantly, shifting its position and lashing out with its massive tail at the blade!
"Clang!"
However, the Black Sand Dragon clearly underestimated the power of Dong Tianchi's soul-guided blade. While dodging the fatal blow, its tail was also injured.
A wound instantly tore open.
Simultaneously, black blood gushed from the wound.
"Hiss!"
A sharp, piercing scream erupted from the Black Sand Dragon's mouth. Clearly, the pain of this strike had nearly driven it mad!
Then, it frantically rammed its body into Dong Tianchi, attempting to attack him with its sharp scales and powerful impact. However, Dong Tianchi's movements were always one step ahead.
That boar-like, muscular body, wielding the Soul-Guiding Blade, moved effortlessly and swiftly around the sand, like a nimble fat man.
And once it seized an opportunity, a swift, charged strike would be unleashed…
