Soul Trigger

Chapter 254: Gift and Princess

boom! ! !
Amid the frantic explosion of dark red spiritual essence, Ji Li's blade firmly blocked Xiang Jing's claw attack, ignoring the opponent's terrifying spiritual power and the sky-high blade wave that emerged behind him.

A dark light flashed in Ji Li's eyes as he raised his head:
"So that's it..."

Xiang Jing's eyes flickered as he saw dark purple spiritual essence floating on Ji Li's visor:

It was a strange black-purple pattern that looked like the silhouette of a cartoon rabbit.

"Space Spiritual Essence?!"

And Ji Li's voice came from below:
"You said this is your dream space, which means I have another body in another dimension..."

"If the spirit prison in the beast pen has certain rules, then it is entirely possible that these rules are mixed together and become one..."

"Multiple dimensions where reality and fantasy meet?"

The dark red spiritual essence suddenly erupted:

“Don’t even think about it!!!”

But as Ji Li stomped on the ground, a bunch of mycelium rose from the ground and bombarded Xiang Jing's claws. At the same time, Ji Li's blade deflected and blocked his series of dense attacks.

The body kept retreating in the splashing fire, and mycelium kept coming out to block the dense claw shadows and blade lights in the gaps.

Ji Li seemed to no longer attack frantically, and began to disperse the spiritual essence to generate continuously hardening mycelium, alternating between offense and defense.

The instantaneous change in attack mode made Xiangjing anxious for a moment. He suddenly grinned and sprayed out a dark red impact that swept past -

He was also learning how to use Ji Li's violent spiritual essence.

Now that his body is in predator mode, this direct spitting ability is perfect for him.

But during the black breath, he saw Ji Li's figure appear beside his head, and his heart trembled immediately:
"you……"

"As the saying goes, you can't do two things at once..."

Then the red light slashed down with a bang, and the surging huge blade wave smashed Mukai's raised claws and his entire huge body into the ground:

"except me."

At this moment, the progress bar of the scabbard was almost full, and Ji Li suddenly grinned:

"I'll let you live a few more seconds. Let's finish the matter over there first..."

“Arrogant!!!!”

……

"Sister! Be careful!"

Che Li slid across the ground hastily, with a series of densely spurting bone spurs chasing her body behind her.

"Soul...Mine!!!"

The tall and thin blood-red monster roared and chased the figure in front of it.

Che Li carried Che Canhao in one hand and Ji Li in the other, and continued to create silver ice under her body and slid forward.

"How did you become familiar with it so quickly?!"

"Have you forgotten that I was on the school girls' skating team in junior high school?!"

Che Li said in a stern voice, and suddenly twisted her body, causing Che Canhao, who was seriously injured on her shoulder, to scream in pain. She narrowly avoided a sharp claw that fell from the sky, and the monster roared:

"mine!!!!"

While sliding at high speed, Che Li suddenly turned his body to face the rear, and while his body was still sliding in the direction of escape, he quickly stepped on the ground with one foot.

A silver ice wall rose into the sky, and the madly running monster crashed into it, knocking the whole body unconscious.

But before the two could be happy, the monster's body swelled up, its arms became extremely thick, and it smashed the ice wall with one punch.

"Hide quickly!!"

Thousands of ice cubes flew towards Che Li. Che Li, who was not yet fully familiar with the use of spiritual essence, was unable to dissolve the ice she created.

Seeing an ice cube coming towards her, she gritted her teeth and ducked down, narrowly avoiding the ice cone.

Then he looked at his feet and suddenly made a strange lying motion. Under Che Canhao's stunned gaze, an ice cone hit the side and bounced back, just wiping it away by Che Li:

"What kind of spiritual core ability is this?!"

"how could I know!"

A trace of blood suddenly flowed from Che Li's nose. She lowered her head and wiped the blood on her shoulder, then gritted her teeth and continued to run away.

However, when Che Canhao saw his sister like this, he was startled.

Why does it look so much like my digital detection? !

After receiving advice from Ji Li last time, Che Canhao also tried to train his digital detection to a level that could be used in combat.

The specific effect is this: it calculates the shortest and most efficient way to perform various attacks and movements, and calculates the spiritual cost and lethality.

The disadvantage is that it is extremely difficult to use, consumes both brain power and spiritual essence, and can cause nosebleeds at any time.

And these characteristics are exactly the same as those of the current Che Li!
But where does her freezing ability come from?
Che Canhao was puzzled, but it was a good thing that Che Li successfully awakened her spiritual essence. He would escape this disaster first.
"Sister, here it comes again!"

"I know!"

As the monster roared, a bunch of bone spurs shot out, chasing after Che Li's figure and turning into a dense jungle of sharp spikes around her.

The girl's eyes were filled with spiritual energy, and her body was carrying two people on the ice she had created, spinning and dodging.

After fleeing all the way after awakening, she now has some familiarity and control over her inexplicable abilities.

But at this moment, Che Canhao, who was lying on Che Li's shoulder, saw the spiritual essence suddenly flashing in her eyes, and his heart tightened -

If it really is digital detection, and with the addition of these ice cubes, then her soul well will not be able to withstand such consumption!
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, before he could open his mouth, he felt his whole body flying forward.

Three figures rolled out of the bone thorn forest and fell all over the place.

Che Li raised her head, which was bleeding from her nose, and wiped it with her little hand:
"This……"

"Get away!!"

Che Canhao hugged her and rolled away. A bloody claw dropped from the sky and blasted blood into the air at the place where the two of them were just now.

"You are using your abilities like this, and your spiritual essence consumption won't keep up!"

"You have to keep up even if you can't! Otherwise, all three of us will die here!"

"here we go again!"

The moment Che Canhao turned around, he saw a thick bone spur that was about to pierce through the two of them. His eyes flashed with spiritual essence and he came to a conclusion instantly:
It’s over!!

In a hurry, he gritted his teeth and pulled Ji Li, who happened to be lying next to him, onto his back:

"I'm sorry, brother! But you are the body of a peak master! You must hold on!!"

"What are you doing?!!! He's going to die!!!"

Amidst the hasty screams, a piercing sound instantly struck the eardrums of both of them.

Ding!!! The bone spur was bounced off by something and stuck into the ground. Che Li was stunned for a moment and then fell on Che Canhao.

Che Canhao grimaced in pain:
"I knew that my brother was reliable..."

“You shouldn’t do this!!!”

Che Li quickly checked Ji Li's condition, but was startled to see that the other party had opened his eyes, and his black pupils turned and focused on her face:
"He's right."

Then black ice rose up and instantly wrapped Ji Li's body. A bunch of ice cones burst out and instantly pierced the monster's chest.

Then the whole thing exploded into ice flowers, locking it firmly in place!
……

"Why...why can't I penetrate it..."

The sound of metal clashing continued to echo under the bloody sky, and strange phenomena occurred frequently in the sky.

Xiang Jing attacked Ji Li like crazy, his huge body continuously leaving thousands of dark red claw marks, densely covering the ground below and turning it into a mess.

But there was only one spot that was unscathed—

The mycelium and the sharp blade intersected and blocked all the dense claw marks.

Until Ji Li's scabbard made a dripping sound, he suddenly raised his head, and dark purple spiritual essence rose on his mask:
"That's it."

"You bastard!!! You must die here today!!!"

Thousands of hyphae rose up to block his claw attack, and then he saw Ji Li suddenly sheathed the knife, raised it up and held it high above the sky -

The progress bar on the scabbard instantly returned to zero, and the blade popped out one inch from the scabbard and was slowly and forcefully pulled out by Ji Li.

The red electric arcs that filled the blade had already dyed it completely scarlet. As Ji Li pulled it out inch by inch, the electric light continued to spread in all directions.

Until Ji Li completely pulled out the entire blade again, the terrifying blade had been completely transformed into something filled with red plasma.

As Ji Li gently swung it to his side, violent plasma flashed everywhere, and a charred gully appeared directly on the side. Xiang Jing's eyes completely narrowed -

"...It's just a Type I Overlord... Why!!!"

He roared, and his body expanded again, letting the violent anger fill his vengeful spirit, transforming into giant claw marks that soared into the sky:
"I gave everything! Just to turn you into ashes!"

"This is my lair!!! Nothing... can surpass my will for revenge!!!"

The claw blade merged into the majestic red skylight, abandoning all speed. The vengeful spirit merged with the world and turned into pure and extreme terrifying energy, smashing towards Ji Li like the falling sky!

Ji Li simply held the blade horizontally and raised his eyes:

"Because I've lived longer than you."

Plasma exploded, and the world turned scarlet—

The oblique slashing of the blade turned into a violent plasma wave that shot up into the sky amidst a deafening and violent noise.

The scarlet spiritual essence that was dazzling all over the sky tore through the black and red, shattering the atmosphere and space and rushing straight into the sky.

When the two collided, an instant of extreme white light burst out, and then everything turned into scarlet—

"No--!!!!!"

Amidst Mukai's heart-wrenching screams, his body was instantly annihilated. The blade arc transformed into a violent plasma wave that tore through the falling sky, splitting it in two and scattering it onto the earth.

It rushed all the way to the end of this space, and finally split a huge gap in the deep red sky, which shattered like glass, and turbulent flow poured in:

His nest was split open by Ji Li.

"I can understand the friendship between you two, and I'm also very sorry."

"But the moment you became skinners, you should have foreseen today's outcome."

"I'll give you a lavish funeral, be content."

The blade was humming softly, and the extra spiritual essence that Ji Li had contributed from Qin seemed to be insufficient to support its existence.

The world was crumbling. Ji Li reached out and grabbed a bit of scarlet floating in the air:——
[Personality Fragment: Seed of Grace]

[Features: Open the predator's nest. ]

……

Bloody channel.

The Cheli siblings pushed the huge piece of black ice that Ji Li's body had opened, firmly holding back the slender monster that was attacking crazily:

"Sis! I heard my brother sound like he's going to burst!"

"Nonsense! Hold on a little longer!"

"No, I really heard a breaking sound!"

The next moment, in the astonished eyes of the two, they only felt their hands go empty, and the huge black ice actually shattered completely -

"It's over!"

"Ji Li!?"

As two voices, one male and one female, passed by his ears, Ji Li suddenly opened his eyes, and a scarlet plasma-shining blade appeared in his hand. He raised his hand and slashed at the monster in front of him -

boom! ! ! !

Under the shocked gazes of the Che Li siblings, the surging electric arc licked across the entire passage, turning it into a charred black, and the monster that had previously chased the two of them all over the ground evaporated in an instant!

As Ji Li landed softly on the ground, he raised the blade in his hand and had already returned to the appearance of the Cinder Blade: Nine Ni.

Altered Carbon is completely over.

He casually let go, and the Heart Blade returned to his own spiritual essence. Ji Li turned around and looked at the two of them:
"you……"

Before he finished speaking, a soft hug fell into his arms——

All the strength that Che Li had maintained collapsed in an instant, and her crystal tears all flowed onto his chest.

Ji Li glanced at the disheveled student council president, smiled faintly and patted her shoulder:

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm glad you're alright."

Then, meeting Che Canhao's glaring gaze, the latter's momentum suddenly dropped:
"I'm glad you're okay..."

He secretly wiped his wet eyes, and his little grandson's face was smeared with blood and tears:
"Shit... I thought I was really done for this time..."

Ji Li was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly became absent-minded, because a strong burning sensation was coming from the arm that Che Li was holding -
-
