“Roar!!”

The threat of an imminent death seemed to cause Qin Long to think for once—instead of meeting Bai Yunfei’s head on, he let out a loud roar before using a hardened bubble of elemental energy to defend himself.

It was just unfortunate for him that this type of action wasn’t the correct choice. A barrier of elemental energy was useless...

“Bzzz…”

The tip of the Fire-tipped Spear trembled as a flame burst to life. A sliver of lightning crackled within the flames along with several gray specks of light!

Bai Yunfei wasn’t planning to use the +13 additional effect. That’d use up half his soulforce! In this case, it was simply better to just overwhelm Qin Long’s defense with raw power!

“Whoosh!”

The tip of the Fire-tipped Spear struck against the dark-green light around Qin Long. The Laws began to fight against one another upon collision, but it was the Fire-tipped Spear that reigned superior. The Laws of Lightning and Fire were boosted by the Law of Chaos, and in the end, the barrier around Qin Long was smashed apart!

Without a barrier to protect himself, Qin Long was virtually defenseless. And given the fact that the spear was just about ready to pierce his throat, the only thing he could do was bring up his right hand and lean backward.

“Pcht!!”

While his flesh was of the same level of hardness as a Heaven-tier soul armament, the Fire-tipped Spear was far stronger than him and pierced through his body without difficulty!

“Boom!!”

And that was when the +10 additional effect of the spear activated. In a bloody spray of fire, blood, and gore, Qin Long’s entire person was engulfed by fire.

Yanking the spear back, Bai Yunfei forced the area around him to calm down with a burst of soulforce. He watched with narrowed eyes as a figure came stumbling backward out from the flames his spear had created.

While the spear managed to strike Qin Long, it only managed to tear off his right arm!

Qin Long was without any arms now. His right shoulder was a charred stump and his left shoulder still had its flesh wriggling wildly as if it was still trying to create a new arm.

“Would he really grow both arms back if I gave him the time to?!”

That thought flashed across Bai Yunfei’s mind. It was a curious thought, but not one he wanted to confirm for himself. If the enemy was on death’s door, why bother to give him time to knock on it?

“I highly doubt your body’s invincible, let’s see if you can survive being blown apart!”

Bai Yunfei snarled. The Fire-tipped Spear disappeared into his space ring as he began to go through a series of hand seals!

“Roar!!”

A cascade of fire emerged from nowhere to flow around him. Swirling around both his arms, they traveled down to his palm before taking on the form of two giant dragons.

The Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst!

It was his ultimate move and would definitely kill the weakened Qin Long. Exploding forth from Bai Yunfei’s arms, the two dragons snapped their jaws furiously to engulf Qin Long in them.

In the face of two giant dragons, Qin Long and his small barrier of green light looked abnormally small.

“Boom!!!”

The two dragons converged onto Qin Long with a resounding explosion. The sound was muffled due to the properties of the Phantasm, and Bai Yunfei was able to watch as the flames traveled outward in large waves to try and tear apart the space of the world.

“……”

Li Chengfeng and Xiao Binzi were stupefied. They knew Bai Yunfei was strong. That much was obvious after they saw him kill the Mid-stage Soul Emperor Lin Xiangtian. But to see him defeat Qin Long just like that? It was truly a shocker.

“Is he dead?” Li Chengfeng asked. He was still struggling to see what remained of Qin Long after being engulfed by the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst.

Then he let out a gasp, “No way?! He’s alive still!”

He could see from within the flames the flickering of a dark-green light. Qin Long was inside!

“He’s alive?!”

Bai Yunfei was similarly shocked. He figured that the Chaotic Dual Dragon Burst would be far too destructive for Qin Long to withstand. Any regular mid-stage class eight soulbeast would’ve been reduced to ashes after being hit by it, but Qin Long…was still alive!

He observed the area where Qin Long was in a moment longer before finally letting out a small sigh of relief—while Qin Long was alive, he wasn’t far from death.

Qin Long was truly a tragic sight to behold right now. His…current state couldn’t be said to be ‘human’ at all. Blood and flesh mixed together for a gruesome sight, his shoulders were without arms still, his leg leg was blown off beneath the knee, and his right leg had half its flesh missing so only the bone could be seen. But the most terrifying part was the left side of his waist where most of his internal organs could be seen, or at least what was left of it!

“What’s that?!”

Bai Yunfei’s eyes narrowed in on something strange he noticed amidst the organs in Qin Long’s body.

Was that…a heart?!

It was!

That place was definitely where the heart should be, and that thing in there was definitely beating rhythmically just like a heart would. But there was something about this that made it feel strange. It felt as if this was a…

“A soul armament?!”

Bai Yunfei let out a gasp when he realized what his strange premonition was! That had to be the answer!

Li Chengfeng’s Heart Compass of Fate could meld into his body through an ancient technique due to how it was created. When inside his body, it had a special state of matter that allowed it to coexist inside the person’s body without harm.

And that soul armament ‘embedded’ in Qin Long’s heart was definitely the same thing!

“What kind of soul armament…is there even something like this that can act like a ‘heart’?! It’s…this is definitely a demon armament!!”

The expression on Bai Yunfei’s face changed slowly as he began to understand why the light shining from this soul armament felt different. And right before his eyes, the flesh of Qin Long was starting to regenerate!

Within the blink of an eye, the flesh above the heart of Qin Long began to wriggle and knit together. Even the bones were cracking as they rejoined, and soon, the area above the heart was ‘sealed’...

“He…he really can survive that!!”

Bai Yunfei cried out in astonishment, “Xiao Qi!!”

“Chirp!!”

A loud chirp erupted from behind as a giant bird flew up into the sky behind him. One second later and a thick swath of spatial tears came sprinkling down at Qin Long!
