Chapter 279: Liberation of the Sword Soul

Wang Zhixing knew very well that the Babatu was too fast with the Kun Wings.

If he wished to defeat him, he had to match his speed or be even faster.

Since Wang Zhixing dared to take the initiative to challenge him, he definitely had a plan to deal with him.

While Babatu paused, Wang Zhixing recited a few incantations.

In an instant, faint golden stripes appeared on his body.

“Sword Soul · Liberation!”

Wang Zhixing shouted loudly, and the stripes on his body suddenly brightened. The aura around his body rapidly rose, expanding several times.

After releasing the Sword Soul, Wang Zhixing’s pupils turned into the shape of swords, emitting boundless sharpness.

His body was surrounded by endless sword energies. He looked like he was carrying the Milky Way.

When he saw Wang Zhixing’s transformation, Babatu was overwhelmed with shock.

His body instinctively trembled slightly.

This was a terrifying performance.

Babatu looked incredulous. He had never expected to feel fear.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

He was furious.

Babatu lost his mind and raised his other hand, wielding a long spear.

The spear was very ordinary. It looked like it was made of wood.

Babatu gritted his teeth and gripped his spear tightly. The muscles on his body bulged as though they were about to explode.

He gathered a large amount of energy, locked onto Wang Zhixing, and threw it.

The spear was like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the night sky with incomparable speed.

The spear was imbued with immense power, and the faint image of a giant python could be seen within it. Wherever it passed, space would collapse one after another.

Wang Zhixing’s gaze was electrifying. With a wave of his fingers, the sword energy around him was like a long river that poured towards the direction of the spear.

Boom!

With a loud bang, countless sword energies collided with the spear.

The shockwave produced by this clash was greater than before. Space was as fragile as glass, and it shattered, making a mess.

The stalemate only lasted for two to three seconds before the spear could no longer hold on.

The cry of some kind of wild animal was heard. As if it had a mind of its own, the spear quickly turned back to Babatu.

At this moment, the spear was riddled with wounds, and the spearhead was the most severely damaged. Half of it was broken.

Looking at the miserable state of the spear, Babatu’s eyes were filled with grief.

This spear was also a beast pet, and its original form was a snake.

The same went for the long ax.

The reason Babatu was so powerful was not only because he was powerful, but mainly because of his three beast pets.

Now that the Devil Vine Thorn Beast had been killed by Wang Zhixing and its lance had been severely damaged, it could no longer fight.

Now, he could only use the long ax in his hand.

However, the beast pet that had transformed into a long ax was primarily inclined toward close combat. Countless streaks of sword energies revolved around Wang Zhixing’s body, and charging over like this was undoubtedly sending himself to his doom.

If the [Demonic Bramble Beast] was still around, it could give him a certain level of defense and control.

For a moment, Babatu fell into despair.

Right then, Wang Zhixing flew over at high speed with sword intent that was like a silver river.

Babatu immediately flapped his [Kun Wings] and dodged.

However, after Wang Zhixing released the Sword Soul, his speed soared. He was even faster than Babatu.

Soon, Wang Zhixing caught up to Babatu and manipulated endless sword energies to slash over.

Babatu kept dodging, but because of all the sword energies, he couldn’t dodge all of them.

Gradually, more and more wounds appeared on Babatu’s body, and he was drowned by the sword energies.

If this continued, he would die a slow death.

Babatu suppressed the pain in his body and took out a metal ball from his pocket.

This metal ball was a high-tech device that could create an absolutely safe defensive barrier. However, it could only be maintained for three to four minutes.

After the defensive barrier was formed, Wang Zhixing’s sword energies continued to attack, but it wouldn’t be able to break through its defense.

Inside the defensive barrier, Babatu’s entire body was riddled with wounds. There were sword wounds everywhere.

“Am I going to be defeated by this human?”

“I can’t accept this. I can’t accept this.”

Babatu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. His entire body was trembling.

Although he yearned to fight, he hated the feeling of defeat.

It was not that he did not want to admit defeat, but he was unwilling to admit defeat.

Every failure dealt a huge blow to him.

He did not allow himself to fail.

As a result, he continued to fight, constantly sharpening and strengthening his capabilities.

“I… I… I won’t admit defeat so easily.”

“I… I… I am the strongest.”

Babatu’s eyes were bloodshot, and a thick murderous aura emanated from his body.

His eyes flashed. He gripped his long ax and spear tightly.

“Sorry!”

He bowed his head and said. Then, a pattern similar to an array formation appeared under his feet.

When Aatrox and the other members saw this scene, their expressions turned grim.

“Captain, the vice-captain…” Someone wanted to say something but stopped.

Aatrox’s face darkened as he blamed himself. “It’s my fault this time. I underestimated the opponent.

“But this battle is about to end.

“Babatu has sacrificed his beast pet, whose strength is equivalent to 70% of mine.

“We will still be the victors of this battle.”

When Elder Tarot’s side saw Babatu’s abnormal state, they were filled with worry for Wang Zhixing.

Elder Tarot naturally knew what was happening around Babatu.

He was sacrificing his beast pet.

The so-called [Sacrifice] was a Beast Tamer sacrificing the lives of his beast pet in exchange for power.

Beast pets were like Beast Tamer’s own children.

Babatu was desperate to win.

Since he could not use the [Nirvana Beast], he had to use the [Sacrifice] to defeat Wang Zhixing.

This was the only way to win.

Wang Zhixing noticed the change in Babatu.

Under the observation of the Aura Examination Technique, Babatu’s aura grew rapidly, reaching the level of Soul Transformation.

Upon seeing this, Wang Zhixing stopped his attack and pulled a considerable distance away.

Wang Zhixing was currently in the fifth class of Nascent Soul.

Under normal circumstances, he would be able to fight anyone who was two small realms above.

In the state of liberating the Sword Soul, his combat ability was equivalent to the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.

But now, the aura of Babatu was comparable to one in the Soul Transformation period. If they really fought, it might be even more terrifying.

Cold sweat broke out on Wang Zhixing’s forehead, but he did not retreat.

He calmly took out a sword-type magical artifact from his storage ring.

It was the Azure Steel Fire Dragon Sword from the spoils of war that Qin Chuan had obtained from the inheritance ground.

According to the system, the Azure Steel Fire Dragon Sword was a stage-three magical artifact.

Because Wang Zhixing possessed the Sword Soul, Qin Chuan had given him the Azure Steel Fire Dragon Sword.

After Wang Zhixing obtained it, he refined it into his natal magical artifact.

The Azure Steel Fire Dragon Sword was dark green in color, and the blade was engraved with flame patterns. The top of the sword hilt held a dragon head ornament, and there were many kinds of array formations inside.

The most powerful was the Flame Dragon Array Formation.

This Flame Dragon Array Formation was formed from sacrificing the souls of multiple Flame Dragons at the Soul Splitting level. Its power was terrifying.

This was the first time Wang Zhixing had used the Azure Steel Fire Dragon Sword in actual combat.

It was his strongest trump card.

He knew very well that the outcome of the following battle would be decided next, and there was a high chance that one side would perish.

Wang Zhixing did not know what the outcome would be, so he had to give it his all.

Wang Zhixing used a large number of spirit pills to adjust his condition to the optimal state.

Soon, Babatu completed [Sacrifice].

His strength had increased significantly, and he now possessed unprecedented strength.

However, he had also lost his most beloved beast pet that had been with him the whole time.

And he blamed it all on Wang Zhixing.

If not for Wang Zhixing, he would not have done so.

Babatu looked at Wang Zhixing. His gaze was cold, and his entire body emitted dense killing intent.

Wang Zhixing’s expression was the same as ever as he looked straight at Babatu.

Their gazes clashed in the air. As if two flashes of lightning collided with each other, the air surrounding them rumbled. The air was tense.

In the next moment, both of their figures vanished on the spot.

…

At the same time, in a dark space, a figure was floating around randomly like a leaf in a river.

At this moment, a beam of light suddenly hit the person.

That person suddenly opened his eyes.
