Chapter 326: Soul Explosion

Yang Ling has tamed a lot of magical beasts. So far, the Dark Dragon King is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of attack power. However, when talking about sneak attacks, the Horned Soul Snake that the Corpse Wizard King brought out of the Dimension of Dead Souls takes the cake. It can cover a dozen steps in the blink of an eye, moving so fast that it is practically impossible to dodge its attacks.

Alas, it may be due to over-ingestion of the mysterious white fog in the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, or that it mutated after being tamed; the Horned Soul Snake needed to shed its skin after a certain period, each session lasting a few days. During which, it would remain immobile like a snake in hibernation.

High-level magical beasts such as Seylius, the Flying Dragon King, must stay put to intimidate the large group of covetous Golden Giant Dragons. The Horned Soul Snake is shedding, and therefore could not be used in this battle either. In that case, Yang Ling can only rely on himself.

“Soul Explosion!”

He instructed the Dark Dragon King to feint an attack, then brush past Ducasse still in the form of a Golden Giant Dragon. At that instant, Yang Ling bellowed and executed “Soul Explosion”, directly attacking Ducasse’s soul. While Ducasse is still reeling from the dizziness, Yang Ling jumped over with a ‘whoosh’ and kicked the wretched Fairy Dragon off Ducasse’s back. Then, he plunged the sharpened blade of the Blood Elf Dagger right into the back of his Ducasse’s skull. It instantly began to absorb fresh blood from his body at an insane speed.

With scales densely packed and hardy, the Golden Giant Dragons are hailed to be the creature of highest defense on the Tailun Continent. It’s a pity that in front of the staggeringly superhuman strength of Yang Ling and his sharp Blood Elf Dagger, even the hardest of armors would be useless!

Soul Explosion is a High-level Wizard Spell recorded on the Stele. The caster would inject a strand of Mental Power into the human brain and ignite his soul…a powerful spell indeed. Those who fell for the attack would suffer a range of effects. Those who are mildly affected would feel dizziness, while those who suffered graver attacks could lose their minds, or even die on the spot!

Not only are Golden Giant Dragons exceptionally tanky, but their soul energies are also head and shoulders above others. Yang Ling would never have landed that kick if it were during any other time. However, he was careless, and Yang Ling managed to land his killer move. At that instant, Ducasse was sent spinning in his head.

The Fairy Dragon, on the other hand, has unmatched talents. On top of being immune to magic, she could redirect the attacker’s attack to her partner. However, that kick from Yang Ling was too fast and too heavy; she was sent flying before she could even react. To her, this was just the beginning of a disaster.

As the Dark Dragon King has been tamed, the rapport and mutual understanding between them is extraordinary.

The instant Yang Ling plunged the Blood Elf Dagger into Ducasse, injuring him fatally, the bloodied Dark Dragon King shook its head and body in excitement. He then turned around and charged at the Fairy Dragon, abducting her before other Golden Giant Dragons. Under Yang Ling’s command, the Dark Dragon King returned to the main camp like lightning, with the Fairy Dragon held captive.

Arwooo… …

Having suffered a grave injury to his brain and his Fairy Dragon captured, Ducasse was furious when he finally regained his bearings. It rose quickly to the clouds, then dived down from the tip of clouds, desperately trying to shake Yang Ling off his back. However, never in his life would have foreseen that Yang Ling would let out another battle cry. He stabbed the sharp thorns from the Ice-sealing Throne Armor straight into Ducasse’s body and stuck on him like a lizard.

“Wind Ripple Dagger!”

Ducasse was unable to shake Yang Ling off his back no matter how much he tried. Frenzied, Ducasse cast a Wind Draconic Magic to summon a dense pack of wind daggers, even though it may cause both of their downfalls. However, Ducasse was the only one who had wounds all over his body after the crisp clanking of blades. Yang Ling escaped unscathed with the protection of the Ice-sealing Throne.

“Hmph, have a taste of how it feels like to be made mincemeat!”

Yang Ling regained his balance with the spikes on his Ice-sealing Throne. Then, he quickly pulled out the razor-sharp Blood Elf Dagger, then stabbed him again. He pulls it out, then stabs it in, pulls out, then stabs him again… …until he made a hornet nest out of Ducasse’s brain. It was too horrible.

Extreme pain, numbness, coldness, and powerlessness… …

Ducasse was severely wounded by Yang Ling’s attack. His head spun, and his flying speed began to plummet.

Before he made his move, Yang Ling had smeared on the Blood Elf Dagger a lethal poison specially created by Alice. As the Giant Golden Dragon, Ducasse’s tolerance for poison far surpasses any regular magical beasts. However, dizzy spells still hit him as he succumbed to the poison.

The Crystal Essence of the Ancient Wood Dragon is exceptionally precious. Not only can it quickly heal wounds, but it can also detoxify any poison automatically. Unfortunately, the recovery speed still couldn’t keep up with Yang Ling’s rapid and stormy attacks!

Not only that. Both the Blood Elf Dagger that sucked blood in like a bottomless pit and the Ice-sealing Throne that emitted a biting coldness piled more agony on Ducasse.

Arwoo… …

Ducasse fumbled and crashed around in great pain. “Bam!” He crashed right into a stone block on Magical Beast Plaza. A piercing pain exploded within him, reaching far into his organs. He could not help but scream.

“Stop!”

“You’re seeking death!”

… …

The moment Ducasse fell onto the ground and was unable to get up, Yang Ling caught the window of opportunity and began a crazed on his skull. Seeing what happened, a few largest-sized Golden Giant Dragons growled and pounced over.

Fast. Yang Ling’s moves were too fast!

Ducasse was leading mere minutes ago, but the tide turned in the blink of an eye. He now lay on the ground, heavily injured and unmoving. The stark contrast and the unexpected development caught the Golden Giant Dragons off guard. By the time they felt that something was amiss, it was already too late.

“Ready, fire!” Goode ordered as he saw the few Golden Giant Dragons swooping down.

Within seconds, the Giant Crossbows waiting in standby revealed their horrific appearances. Humongous arrows as thick as a grown man’s thigh howled as they cut through the air, the arrowheads made from Star Metal shone a metallic black. It was clearly too drenched in lethal poison that could instantly kill.

To the Golden Giant Dragons with colossal defense, regular arrows would feel like a light scratch. However, the giant arrows produced by Great Master Aaron, the Genius Alchemist, was different. Judging from the sound of them cutting through the air alone, the Golden Giant Dragons has no choice but to dodge them quickly.

Black Magic Crystal Cannons, fearsome Giant Crossbows, the blanket of Pear Blossom Crossbows, and an uncountable number of magical beasts… …

Suddenly,

After narrowly dodging those massive and heavy arrows, the Golden Giant Dragons scanned the soldiers and Magical Beast Army fully alert and guarded. Suddenly, the Golden Giant Dragons dare not risk an attack.

“Ah… …let’s die together!”

Yang Ling made another round of brutal stabbing, Ducasse exhausted the last ounce of his energy flying skywards. Then without warning, he dived towards the ground. Just as he was about to touch the ground, he did somersault mid-air then landed heavily on the back. “Bam!” An enormous crater was smashed into existence as Ducasse tried to flatten Yang Ling to death.

“Big brother Yang!”

“Sir, Sir… …!

… …

People cried out in surprise when they saw the deep pits Ducass created when he went berserk. Especially Yuna and Alice, who lunged towards the two of them without a care for any consequences. The Corpse Wizard King was no exception; casting a wind spell on himself, he flew towards them like a bolt of lightning.

“Ice Sealing the Environment!”

Just as the Golden Giant Dragons were sure that Yang Ling was dead, Yuna, Alice, and many others felt themselves blanking out. Suddenly, a yell came out of the enormous pit. Right after, it began to emit a curious blue glow, and the surrounding temperature plunged. Within a little over a hundred steps radius from Yang Ling, frigid coldness filled the space, so cold that it was difficult to make even a single step!

Thanks to the Ice-sealing Armor, Yang Ling survived the attack. He sees that the time is right and played his killer move, without any regard for the massive amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy that he is pouring out. Ducasse’s head was instantly frozen!

The power of Ice Sealing the Environment is immense. Unfortunately, they would need a jaw-dropping amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy to sustain. When cast at full power, the area of effect is limited to a small step, lasting a mere few minutes each time. Most importantly, he could only use it once a day. In other words, he only had a single chance at securing the kill.

Ducasse’s speed increased drastically now that he is a Golden Giant Dragon. Its attack power and defense abilities far surpass anyone else. Besides, there is a Fairy Dragon on his back and an Ancient Wood Dragon Crystal in his body; their overall capabilities cannot be belittled. That was also why Yang Ling did not want to use this single-use killer move at the start and instead waited for a good time, even though he was at a disadvantage.

After diving from high altitude, then crashing into a deep pit, Ducasse, who lost too much blood, finally lost all means to move. Yang Ling, who had been waiting for this moment, jumped out to seize the opportunity.

“Spare him!”

Right when everyone watched Bucas at the bottom of the pit, staring wide-eyed in fascination and horror, a furious growl erupted from the skies out of the blue. A green light flashed past the sky like a bolt of lightning. However, he was still too late!

Yang Ling scoffed, then punched Ducasse’s icy head into smithereens. Then, with a green Wood Dragon Essence Crystal in one hand and a gold Golden Giant Dragon’s Essence Crystal. “Huff!” He jumped out of the deep pit.

An almost translucent miniature dragon cruised up and down Yang Ling’s body, but it could not fly away. From the looks like it, it’s a soul that Yang Ling had used magic to bound.

“Elder Yakut!”

“Elder, this way, please!”

… …

The green trail of light traveled fast and appeared before everyone within seconds, floating upright in mid-air. Yang Ling paid attention to him; to think that the incomer is a white-bearded, pointed ear elf blanketed by a green illuminance from head to toe.

“An Elder of the Royal Elven Divine Temple?” Yang Ling might be unclear about the white-bearded elf’s identity, but the Corpse Wizard King did. Upon seeing the lush green maple leaves on his robe, his heart dropped, knowing that a real powerhouse has finally arrived.

“Sir, immediately turn and run if you feel that something is about to go off the rails. Run as far as you can, and never look back!”

The Corpse Wizard King stepped in front of Yang Ling; he took a deep breath as he shielded him. Then, he ignored all inhibitions and summoned all magical energy within his body, unrolling his Mind Magic Field that has not yet recovered fully.

Yang Ling is a powerful man, and he was stronger than anyone had ever imagined. However, when pitted against an Elder of the Royal Elven Divine Temple who reached the peak of the domain, the strength of the physical body is meaningless.

If he was at his peak, the Corpse Wizard King is confident that he could fight head to head with the pointed-ear elf engulfed in green light. However, with only 70% of his strength recovered, it is uncertain if he could protect both his and Yang Ling’s lives, let alone winning that elf!
