Soul Trigger

Chapter 224 Massacre (I)

The column of filled black gas actually bounced the huge silver sword light directly away, and in the astonished eyes of Inukai Jōichi, it shattered it into sword light fragments all over the sky.

The black gas column that rose into the sky exploded for a few seconds before dissipating. With the sound of flesh and bones turning, a human figure in black dragon armor revealed its true form from the dissipating black gas.

At this moment, Ji Li was wearing a complex armor made of dragon scales and black bones. The armor of dragon bones and dragon scales seemed to have grown together with his entire body, and was constantly spreading and deforming throughout his body.

The entire head was tightly wrapped in a mask made of black ink bones. A pair of huge horns grew out from the eye sockets, clinging to the shape of the skull, and pushed out to the upper back of the head with the sound of bones crackling, and the top turned into the shape of a blade.

A dragon's tail with a blade tip slammed fiercely on the ground. A sharp knife tip was connected to the tip, and as the root swung, it left a large cutting mark on the ground.

A pair of dragon wings grew out of his back, hanging down like a banner cloak, and the tip of each wing was a sharp blade.

On his wrists were armor made of a mixture of black bone and dragon scales, with sharp claws extending forward that did not affect his grip, and huge, exaggerated elbow blades growing backwards.

With his hands hanging down, it grew all the way to a height higher than his head, quickly flashing a sharp edge with the sound of metal clashing, and unfolding into a double-edged shape.

The elbow blade on the left is even thicker, and is exactly where the "Nine Reversals" were before they turned into evil spirits, and a hilt grows towards the wrist.

This is a scabbard.

"Liberate the undead body..."

The white flame of Inukai Jōichi's dead spirit suddenly rose up, and his figure flashed and rolled towards Ji Li with sword lights and shadows all over the sky:
“But that’s all!!”

The latter suddenly raised his head, and rushed forward at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to grasp, and the elbow blades of his arms burned with deep black energy -

Ouch!
As the two sharp blades collided sharply, the continuous sound of metal clashing shook the air wildly.

The black gas and the silver blade light collided with each other like two rainstorms. In the large and chaotic afterimages, only the flashing figures of the two people could be seen.

Inukai Jōichi's one eye was burning with white flames, and he held the sword in one hand, creating a sky full of sword light and slashed towards Ji Li.

Ji Li used his arms and sharp claws to tear the black flames apart, knocking them all away, while his body dodged and moved swiftly.

Sometimes it strikes with claws, sometimes it fights with elbows and blades, and sometimes it leaps and sweeps with its tail.

Compared with Inukai Jōichi who held the sword with one hand, Ji Li's whole body was covered with sharp blades. Every collision was a loud explosion of black and white and the sound of swords flying with sparks.

This state lasted for less than half a second, and Ji Li easily incorporated the opponent's offensive rhythm into his own attack.

Sharp claws, elbow blades, tail, compared with Inukai Jōichi's sword dance, Ji Li's attack was more like a continuous close-body technique. Every part of his body was a sharp blade and a weapon.

Three hundred years of rich combat experience and the trajectory prediction system of the Ascension Protocol allowed Ji Li to master this body to perfection in an instant.

And every time the two collide, there will be violent sparks and black and white gas explosions.

In the barely noticeable corners, Ji Li's heavy elbow-blade scabbard would emit an engine-like roar with every impact, and the roar continued in the endless collisions, but the sound was masked by the spiritual essence exploding in the sky.

Inukai Jōichi, who had never seen such an attack, was instantly at a disadvantage. His face changed instantly due to this impenetrable counterattack. He was about to withdraw, but Ji Li used Iron Mountain Backbone to break through the sword light in the sky and slammed into his arms.

White flames rose from Inukai Jōichi's one eye. He pulled back the sword light and was about to return to defense, and with the remaining momentum, he raised two sword lights that coiled around Ji Li's back in an attempt to force him back.

But Ji Li completely ignored the two powerful blade lights. He instantly raised the blade tail behind him and knocked them to the left and right. His sharp claws brushed past the silver sword that Inukai Jōichi was trying to defend himself with, and in the burst of sparks like a waterfall, one claw pierced into his chest.

puff! ! !
A stream of blood spurted out of his body, and a large piece of flesh was torn off almost instantly.

Inukai Jōichi's body was suspended in mid-air, the huge hole in his chest churning with blood and flesh, and as it was quickly repaired, his tone became incomparably gloomy:

"This is not the Heart Blade at all..."

"The frog at the bottom of the well."

Ji Li suddenly stepped on the ground, and his body turned on the cracked ground in an instant. As his left and right elbow blades crossed and swung, a cross-shaped black blade wave burst out.

The blade wave grew longer as it encountered the wind, and in just a moment it became more than ten meters wide, occupying Inukai Jōichi's entire field of vision.

The latter could only raise the silver blade in his hand to block the surging knife light, but heard a crisp sound like an eggshell breaking, and the white flame of the one-eye suddenly rose for a moment -

The silver blade was covered with dense, bright cracks and suddenly shattered.

The silver blade light suddenly became smaller, and before Inukai Jōichi could react, there was another burst of dense shattering sounds, and another layer of blade light exploded.

Then there was a series of knife-like explosions, which sounded five times in total.

"My sword formation——"

Snapped! ! ! !

As the sixth layer of sword light exploded, Inukai Jōichi's body flew out and was completely swallowed by the blade light.

When his figure reappeared, there was a huge cross-shaped black mark on his chest, six broken blades were suspended around him, and his spiritual essence had long since withered.

"A minute seems like a while, Inukai Jōichi... Is your name chewing gum? How can you chew it for so long?"

"Shut up!!!" The roar interrupted Ji Li's voice.

Inukai Jōichi's body suddenly expanded, and each layer of armor lifted up for a moment, with a strong silver light bursting out from inside. The six sword blades floating around his body also instantly recovered to their original state, splitting into twelve, and bursting out a silver light even stronger than before -

At this moment, two powerful spiritual figures were rushing towards this place at high speed.

The screams of Lord Huojin continued to be heard from the center of the town. Arakawa, who was suppressing the green light, also changed his expression:

"Jōichi! There's almost no time left for you to act willfully! Let me do it..."

"I told you to shut up!! That's not your biological brother!!!"

Inukai Jōichi's body collided with Ji Li again, and all twelve rays of light were injected into his blade. The white flame in his single eye rose to its peak:
“Silver Shadow——!!!!”

A sky full of sword lights exploded like a rainstorm, instantly enveloping Ji Li.

Inukai Jōichi's speed was more than twice as fast as before. The white flame in his one eye surged and even revealed a hint of extreme blue light.

The silver shadow lightsaber in his hand was boiling with the aura of the peak master. Every strike of the sword could roll up an overwhelming blade light and rush towards Ji Li. Every strike of the sword was like thousands of slashes flowing from all directions.

Black air was also rising from Ji Li's body. He activated the Soul Mach in the dazzling silver light, fighting and retreating in a long detour.

Inukai Jōichi followed closely behind, and the sword light mercilessly poured towards Ji Li's figure.

The battlefield between the two spanned the entire hall in just a few seconds, and black and white knife marks were slowly healing in all directions under the effect of "supernatural power".

Looking at Ji Li who was struggling like a monkey to resist his continuous attacks, Inukai Jōichi's evil spirit face finally broke into a satisfied smile:

"Is that all?"

But Ji Li turned a deaf ear to him. Facing another sword attack, he turned around and moved his wrist, knocking away four or five sword lights amid the sparks of metal clashing. He then turned his body and knocked away the last one with the tail of the blade.

Finally, he grabbed Inukai Jōichi's blade in his hand.

The claws covered with soft armor continuously collided with the opponent's sharp and undulating silver spiritual essence, producing black and white gas explosions, and the heavy sheath blade under Ji Li's left elbow also made continuous friction sounds.

But that sound was like a mosquito or fly in this huge collision.

"As expected of a top master... Which type is this?"

“Think about it slowly in hell!!!”

boom--! ! !
The black air that exploded in all directions flung Inukai Jōichi's body away, and his surprised voice came from under his evil spirit mask:

"what?!"

Inukai Jōichi fell to the ground, and was thrown to the ground for several seconds by the sudden burst of powerful spiritual energy before he suddenly thrust his blade into the ground and stood up.

The moment he rushed in front of Ji Li, he was forced back by the dark sword light that filled the sky. However, he saw that the other party just stood there and did nothing:

"……This is?!"

Ji Li slightly opened his horse stance, and a powerful black energy flowed in the scabbard extending from his left wrist. The powerful crashing sound like an engine just a second ago suddenly froze -

Violent black energy burst out, and as the claws reached the hilt under the wrist, a circle of dense black knife light flew in all directions, turning all around him into a terrifying blade field.

Inukai Jōichi rushed madly into the force field filled with black blades, but was forced back again and again.

"In this case……"

He gritted his teeth, raised the silver blade in his hand, and blasted a silver light into the sky:
"Then let's do it again!!!"

The silver light gathered madly, rushing straight into the sky with unparalleled power, turning into a blazing silver light blade that slashed towards Ji Li.

However, from the hilt of the knife that Ji Li was holding, a powerful black energy was rising madly, and a force field of thousands of black blades was constantly erupting around him. At the same time, it was breathing in surging spiritual essence like a black hole, and the grinding of the steel blade had been filled to the extreme.

Then the scabbard suddenly opened a gap, and the sword blade like a silver beam of light had already chopped down on his head, but a flash of red and black light flashed through Jiu Ni -

"not good!!!"

Master Hitomi Arakawa's face turned wildly, and he threw down a deep spiritual essence that crushed Master Huojin's soul, and turned into a bright yellow light and rushed towards the two.

Inukai Jōichi, who had just mobilized all his spiritual essence to smash down the sword light crazily, felt that his whole body was locked by a will, and then he saw the terrifying sword light tearing through the sky -

Danger!Danger!Danger!

That was the warning of the soul trigger throbbing wildly. He felt that his soul was about to be completely annihilated in the next moment!
The barrier created by Arakawa was also lifted in an instant, and two immortal figures rushed towards Ji Li one after the other, and the terrifying power instantly pressed on him:

"Stop it!!!"

boom--! ! ! !

Eight black and red blade waves shot up into the sky, tearing the sky apart vertically. The powerful black energy exploded, completely covering all directions.
